菊与刀英文读后感

the yamato has always been seen as a learning ethnic group. it has been greedly asorbing the civilization from other nations by learning their culture, character, tradition, art, architecture and even religion. a great deal of japanese culture and religion had been adapted from the older civilization, china. to them, china used to be their great teacher. in the past thousands of years, the japanese  were so eagerly to see and to learn from this teacher, ingnoring the long, dangerous journey and the deep japanese sea. however, since the latest century, the teacher has been invaded by his student, surpassed his student. and now, to be frank, the teacher is not competent enough to be in this position any longer. in many aspects, such as science and economy, the teacher has fallen behind his student. maybe it's time for the teacher to examine himself profoundly. americans believe no one stands still; if you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. the teacher must has already been familiar with this credo. maybe it's time for the teacher to learn something from the student.

let's see how does the japanese behavior in some aspects.the japanese view boon a burden. they do like to easily accept others' help, even is from a close relatives. this might seems quite weird to us. in our opinion, lending a hand to a friend, a relative or a stranger is a gracious act. we should be happy with it. because when we are short of money, someone would lend us some to make the ends meet; when we are having a birthday or a ceremony, someone would come with fabulous presents; when we fall over and got injured on the leg, someone would come and support us with a hand. all above are those which we consider as beautiful acts. and thanks to them our soiciety would become more harmonious and peaceful. however, that does not mean that the japanese people do not like benevolence. in fact, they appreciate it too. the difference between us lies on which part of this deed we separately focus on. in our sense of worth, we focus on this innitiative act and consider it as a way to break the cat ice between everyone. the japanese people has a  sense of worth which is quite a difference from ours. actually, hardly on earth could we find another sense of worth which is familiar to the japanese. they put most of their attention of "paying a debt of gratitude", which means when they accept someone else's grace, they should start to think about what they can pay back. it is similar to a chinese saying " remember the gratitude and try to repay it". however, you can also find a more appropriate saying "drips of grace, yongquan". that could most accurately descibe the japanese way. in their eyes, the gratitude is the most unbearable thing. once accepted, they should try to repay it heart and soul. and they call it " ties of friendship".

far across the sea, on that long, narrow island, the people have incorporated " ties of friendship" into every aspect of their lives. and as early as in one's youth, his parents would start to teach him the importance of " ties of friendship", whose objects are not only the people who show the gratitude, but also relatives, friends, strangers and most important of all, their mikado. it seems to the japanese that they are born with the gratitude of the mikado and they could never pay back the endless grace. thus every singal japanese could sacrifice himself or herself when necessary, and they consider it a honor which is above everything else.

look at ourselves, as the economic is developing faster than our mental power, we are losing ourselves in the mist. maybe the japanese sense of worth could remind us the traditional chinese virtue. unlike the japanese, we are born with the gratitude of our motherland. with her latex, we grow up upbring sturdily. but in the mist of money and power, we almost forget to pay back her gracefully bestow. although it is not the emergent moment that we have to sacrifice ourselves, if needed, i believe most of us will do so, we should get ready for the challenges in this changing world. keep in mind that we bear the grace of our motherland and never forget our duties, that is pushing our country toward prosperity.

another thing i'd like to mention is the self-discipline of the japanese. in their world, the entertainment and work is apparently seperated. while working, they try their best and leaving everything else behind. but that does not mean they do not like entertainments. oppositely, they view entertaiment a necessary part of life. and in japan, sex is not such shameful topic as it is in china. the japanese people, even the women after giving birth to their child, would talk it publicly while they are gathering together with their friends and view it as palate. and they'd like to develop their hobbies. for example, most of the japanese like to sleep and they do not consider sleeping a way to rest. in fact, they make it their hobby and try to develop it. that's why the japanese people could sleep at anytime and anywhere in any posture right away.

however, while compared with their work or duty, entertainment could be a quite trivial thing. one example is that, the japanese soldiers could keep awake for 60 hours with only 10 minutes' break in their training. and the drill master said " they already know how to sleep, it's time to learn how to get rid of sleep."  in their opinion, entertainment could be droped easily if necessary.

we always have this kind of feeling, when we are having some kind of enjoyment, we are worrying about some work undone. and when we are doing our work, we are thinking about play and rest momently. i think that's why some of us find our efficiency so poor, and that's also why success is always so far away. there is no harm in separating work and play totally. and furthermore, maybe play actually is not so important, we should choose the most vauluable thing to do in our limited lifetime.

hermann hesse, a famous german writer, said in his book siddhartha" we should do things in the way a stone falls into the water." straightly, without any interuption, i think that's the short cut to success.

红与黑英文读后感（二）

the book i read this week entittled the red and the black, which is undoubtedly among the best liturature works. as a person who haven’t had much knowledge in literature, any comments on this work seem to be rather naive and even sort of reckless. but this is the only book i have access to recently. with much deliberation, i would like to write down following words.

the book mainly tells a story about a man named julien, who came from a carpenter’s family and got a shrewd father and two elder brothers characterized by huge size and rudeness. though he wasn’t quite athletic, he got talent with his memory. he could recite the whole contents of the bible, which made him admired by people around him and win him a job as a family teacher. and this is the part where our story begins. under his gorgeous face, there exists a relentless lust for fortune, power and status, all of which derive from his persuit of happiness, dignity and freedom and finally contributed to his downfall. ()he worshiped nepolen the most, and he is willing to die a thousand times to win his success. he desires for love, yet sometimes he used it as a tool to obtain his status and power. however, he had never given up showing his sympathy for the poor and contempt to the noble. his pureness blended together with ambition and felt self-abased and conceited at the same time. as a young man, he ignored what’s really important for him—being loved. and he just realized this until death was around the corner. the story is a tragedy, for he hasn’t got what he wanted in the end and he sacrificed too much for his contemporary fame and fortune. at the last few hours of his life, those happy times he spent with his loved ones gave him courage to face death penalty with calm . when he realized that he didn’t have to tolerate the world filled with fakeness or put a mask on his face, he died with ease.

julien stands for the group of people coming from the low class in the society and hope to achieve success with their own efforts. these people usually don’t have the necessary conditions to become successful, but they will by no means stop trying or let god tells them what their lives should be like, instead, they are willing to sacrifice anything to realize their dreams and earn their dignity. for these people, no matter what the consequences their struggle may be, i should forever pay my tribute to them. to some extent, they are the makers of the world.

英文简爱读后感

this is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. the story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

it seems to me that many readers’ english reading experience starts with jane eyer. i am of no exception. as we refer to the movie “jane eyer”， it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.

jane eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. since jane’s education in lowwood orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. the suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.as a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, jane got a chance to be a tutor in thornfield garden. there she made the acquaintance of lovely adele and that garden’s owner, rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: after jane and rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was jane eyer. the film has finally got a symbolist end: jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. after finding rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, jane chose to stay with him forever.

i don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, i would rather regard the section that jane began her teaching job in thornfield as the film’s end----especially when i heard jane’s words “never in my life have i been awaken so happily.” for one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. but the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: there must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of jane’s life that “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” （by forrest gump’s mother, in the film “forrest gump”）

what’s more, this film didn’t end when jane left thornfield. for jane eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for rochester, how he can get salvation? the film gives the answer tentatively: jane eventually got back to rochester. in fact, when jane met rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant rochester would get retrieval because of jane. we can consider rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. the fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. after it, rochester got the mercy of the god and the love of the woman whom he loved. here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. the value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

书虫读后感英文（一）

in the winter holiday.i read a book.it is very wonderful.it's name is "the monkey's paw".the book tells about the whites and a  paw's story.mr.white's friend gave him a small and dirty paw.he said "it can makes your dreams come true.but you'll feel unhappy."mr.white wanted ?3000.and after some days,he got  ?3000,but his son deid.the end is mr.white and his wife were very sad.

i think “the monkey's paw” is very useful.because it tells us some important things.such as "get something for nothing." is impossible.we must do every things by ourselves.and we must know learn by doing.

when i was 10 years old.i was not good at math.and i had tried to find many escape solutions.but no one is  good for me.my mother tolds me,"learn by doing",and i did some test questions.now,my math is ok.i think my story likes "the monkey's paw".and in the new future,i will do every things by my self and do not rely on my father and mother.i know i am the best.

what a nice story!“the monkey's paw”is perfect，and i will learn more and more in it.
