『壹』 英语阅读:天才都是傻子
下文是选取自BBC关于天才都是傻子的一则英文报道,欢迎阅读。裂颤
It's hard to be the smartest person in the room
CONTENT:
If ignorance is bliss, does a high IQ equal misery? Popular opinion would have it so. We tend to think of geniuses as being plagued by existential angst, frustration, and loneliness. Think of Virginia Woolf, Alan Turing, or Lisa Simpson – lone stars, isolated even as they burn their brightest. As Ernest Hemingway wrote: “Happiness in intelligentpeople is the rarest thing I know.”
The question may seem like a trivial matter concerning a select few – but the insights it offers could have ramifications for many. Much of our ecation system is aimed at improving academic intelligence; although its limits are well known, IQ is still the primary way of measuring cognitive abilities, and we spend millions on brain training and cognitive enhancers that try to improve those scores. But what if the quest for genius is itself a fool’s errand?
译文:
如果无知就是幸福,高智商是不是等于痛苦?按照当下流行的观点似乎是如此。我们往往认为天才都被存在性焦虑,沮丧和孤独所折磨。想想弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙,阿兰·图灵,丽莎·辛普森这些孤星,在燃烧他们智慧的同时也是与世隔绝的。正如欧内斯特·海明威说的:''我很少看到聪明的人快乐。''
问题似乎只是就少数人来说的小事——但是它提供的见解可能会带来许此源腊多分歧。我们的教育制度大部分旨在增强学术智慧;即使它的局限性广为人知,智商仍然是衡量认知能力的主要方式,我们花费了上百万森滑在脑力训练和认知增强药上,试着提高智商上的分数。但是如果我们所追求的天才到头来不过是傻子呢?
Words and Phrases:
bliss n. 极乐;天赐的福
angst n. 焦虑;担心
misery n. 痛苦,悲惨;不幸;苦恼;穷困
ramification n. [植] 分枝,分叉
errand n. 使命;差事;差使

『贰』 2020年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解B
Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
重读一本读过很多遍的书,就像和老朋友一起畅饮。这是一种受欢迎的熟悉感,但有时也有一丝怀疑,时间改变了你们两,关系也是。但是书不会变,人会变。这就是为什么重读会如此丰富而富有变化。
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
重读的美妙之处在于,我们与作品的联系是建立在我们目前的心理状态之上的。的确,我年纪越大,越觉得时间有翅膀。但是阅读,都是关于当下的。它是关于现在和一个人对现在的贡献,因为阅读是作者和读者之间的一种取舍。每个人都要尽自己的力量。
There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating, an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
每年我都要重读三本书,第一本是我每年春天都要读的海明威的《移动的盛宴》。这本书出版于1964年,是他20世纪20年代巴黎生活的经典回忆录。语言令人着迷,一位上了年纪的作家回顾了一个雄心勃勃但却简单的时代。另一部是安妮·迪拉德的《神圣的坚实》,一部1975年的随笔,漫谈一切和虚无。第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎尔的《拯救黄昏:诗选》,因为诗歌,因为科塔扎尔。
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
虽然我总是买很多书,但这三本书是别人送我的礼物,这可能增加了我赋予它们的意义。但我想,虽然金钱确实是美妙和必要的,但重读作者的作品是读者能支付给他们的最高报酬。最好的书可以随着时间的推移而看得更远。但请记住,你必须成长,不断地阅读和重读,以便更好地了解你的朋友。
『叁』 急求一篇英语作文。。关于海明威作品的读后感。。字数120左右吧
After reading《Farewell to Arms》 When I opened the beginning of the article, clearly remembered in the classroom, teacher readed the first paragraph to us. At the beginning of listening after teachers read, I did not understand a bit, why should teacher selected just one paragraph to read for us to listen. But then the teacher's a few questions aroused me great interesting. And i've readed it again with taken the teacher's questions. Now, to see the whole book, come back to thinking about the beginning of the doubt, all glance at the heart. The author use the way directness describe, with short、concise setences, just a few of the features described as "across the plains of the rivers and mountains vaguely visible," "pebbles and great circle of stone in the river bed , show its cirdle and white." , "Clear water, fast river", just as a display screen in front readers. The work at the beginning seted the base, such as "tree trunks are full of st," "leaves as early as drop-in in that year" and "only the leaves on the road,emptily", all those may showed this should be a sad story. The first part of the story has a lot of description on the war, the author through the officers's eyes and mouth to saying the the battle situation, describing the dining hall officers and clerics in the war…… attitudes and views from those described, we understand the social background and the characters's survival state of the story. Hemingway's integration scenarios about the environment, with action and image to performance emotion purely. The dialogue in telephone, short and real inner monologue, we can see that daily-language base on heavy hardwork. I think that love story can't be lacked in all atory, no love story no complete works. In "A Farewell to Arms", we clearly see the male hero's love to the female hero changed and developmented step-by-step , and eventually difficult as people would like to. It should be said that this love is broken by the war. Story begain, for this war, the hero in this book is tifully to the war. To the soldiers suffering from intestinal hernia he help them without any complainer, in the first attack he ignor the danger beside him to took back the drivers foods, after injured he still had heroic spirit of humility, and all of those performance this point. Shows a soldier should had the courage and kind. And at this time, he also started contact with Miss Barlaick, beginning with the purpose of not pure. Longer and longer the war time. In the dining hall, all kinds of people were in the discussion of the war. The cleric whom Henry concerned made Henry understand a lot.At the same time, Henry begain to had a doubt on the war. In his convalescence, he has successfully developed his love, healed his hurt. However, the reality can not be what a person was willing to. He had to return to the war. Personally experienced all kinds of war,particular saw the Italian military be defeated with helter-skelter, saw his comrades die in his own eyes, and military police arbitrarily executed the officers who separated from his troop……The war bring people a series of pain and sadness.All these made Henry determined to leave the war, been far away from the war, took off the military uniform, to found his lovey determined……From the story of what happened these days, Henry's attitude toward the war have taken place in major changes. He was no longer believe in war, no longer willing to participate in the war. He has arrived in Milan, did not read newspapers, did not care about the battle situation.At this time Henry has been fully made himself out of the war. And just wanted been together with his loved girl. Risked their lives to leave the Milan, arrived in Switzerland, you can say that this was the beginning of a new life. Henry and lovey lived a simple but pleasure rural life. Although at this time they left the war, but it always gave people a false sense of that life.Always fearing that it would be a dream.Life was worrying still.Aafraid that dream would broke up, afraid that the well-being would no longer someday…… The outcome still made us sad, Carsarlin finally left Henry. In times of chaos, the love flower withered at last. Made us bemoan…… From the whole story, Hemingway wrote the process that peaple doubt the war,hate the war,till play it cool and numbly to the war that destructed love and humanity.Reflecting the mental of cynical ,the crisis of faith "confused Generation " after the First World War.In the book the hero Henry fulfilled to the war till censured it.This change shows in Italian all sectors of the community's attitude to war.And Hemingway just wanted to make people "to understand of the thoughts and feelings in the war from this book" . Now to reading, this is a novel has many attraction and something to learn from it. Hemingway's language does have its merits, worth to taste…… [由于时间仓促、个人水平不足等,请广大网友斧正] 下面是中文原文:[在此感谢中文原文作者!] 《永别了,武器》读后 翻开文章的开头,清楚地记得在课堂上,老师给我们朗读第一段。开始的时候听老师读完,我有点想不明白,老师为什么要选择一段来读给我们听。但是老师随后的几个问题却激发了我莫大的兴趣。自己又带着老师的问题,细细地读了一遍。 现在,看望全书,回过头来在思考开头的疑问,一切都了然于心了。 作者用白描的手法,用短小精练的语句,仅仅是几个景物的描写,如“隔着河流和平原的高山依稀可见”、“河床里有鹅卵石和大圆石头,在阳光下又圆又白”、“河水清澈,河流湍急”,就像一幅画面展现在读者眼前。而作品也就是在开头就定下了基调,如“树干也挤满了灰尘”、“那年树叶早落”、“路上只有落叶,空空荡荡的”,暗示了这个故事的悲剧性结局。 故事前半部分有着大量的关于战争的描写,作者通过一个军官的眼睛和嘴讲述了战争的形势、战况,描写了饭堂里军官及教士对战争的态度和看法……从这些描写,我们了解了故事发生的社会背景和部分人物的生存状态。海明威情景交融的环境描写,纯粹用动作和形象表现情绪,电文式的对话,简短而真切的内心独白,可以看出日常用语经过了千锤百炼。 我想任何故事都少不了爱情,没有爱情的作品不能称之为一部完整的作品。在《永别了,武器》中,我清晰地看到了男主人公对女主人公的爱情的一步步变化和发展,最终难如人愿。应该说这场爱情是被战争所摧残。 故事开始,对于这场战争,书中主人公亨利对战争尽职尽责。对患肠疝的士兵拔刀相助、第一次进攻时奋不顾身为司机带回吃的、受伤后谦让有英雄气概的等,无不表现这一点。显示了一个军人的勇敢和应有的善良。而且此时,他也开始了与巴克莱小姐的交往,尽管已开始时怀着不纯洁的目的。 战争的时间越来越长。在饭堂里,各种人在讨论着战争。那个让亨利关注的教士让亨利明白了很多,与此同时,不禁让亨利对战争产生了怀疑。在他的疗养期间,他顺利地发展了自己的爱情,也治好了自己的伤。然而现实不能总如人愿,他还要回到战争。亲身经历了战争的种种,尤其是亲眼见到了意大利军不堪入目、溃不成军的撤退场面,看到战友死在自己的眼前,以及宪兵武断地处决与不下失散的军官……战争给人们带来的一系列痛苦,让亨利决心离开战争,远离战争,脱下军装,毅然去寻找自己的爱人……从这一段时间所发生的故事来看,亨利对战争的态度已经发生了重大的改变,他变得不再相信战争,不再愿意参与到战争当中去。他到了米兰后,不看报纸,不关心战况,此时的亨利已经完全的要将自己置身于战争之外。只想和自己心爱的人在一起。冒着生命危险离开了米兰,到了瑞士,可以说这是新生活的开端。亨利和爱人卡萨玲过着简单快乐的乡村生活。此时的它们虽然离开了战乱,但是总给人一种活得不真实的感觉,总害怕这会是一场梦,生活还是让人担忧,总怕梦醒,总怕幸福不再有…… 结局还是令人叹息,卡萨玲最终离开亨利而去,这乱世里的爱情之花还是枯萎凋谢了,令人叹惋…… 从整个故事来看,海明威是写出了人们对于这场摧残爱情、摧残人性的的战争从投入到怀疑到厌恶继而到冷漠麻木的过程,反映了第一次世界大战后玩世不恭、信仰危机的“迷茫一代”的精神面貌。书中主人公亨利从尽义务到对战争的指责调侃,到处了意大利社会各阶层对战争的态度,而海明威就是要让人们“从这本书中了解人类在战争中的思想感情”。 现在读来,这篇小说还是有着吸引人之处和可学习借鉴之处。海明威的语言确实有其可取之处,值得我们品味……

不乎盯明所氏明以然,是需要翻译,还是...
翻译:“你如何理解下面的评论,海明威和菲茨杰拉德:“海明威是他的岁核和风格而闻名,他的聪明的美国褒贬文化的根年龄。”
『伍』 像个侦探一样读海明威的名篇——《白象般的群山》
注:阅读本文前希望读者能将《白象般的群山》一文先行阅读一遍,如有可能的话庆租,最好阅读英文原版。
一篇文章之所以被大家称为名篇,是因为这样的文章能够让大家激发想象,每个人都能够从中读出不一样的东西来。但是有时候你就会想了,为什么有的文章大家推崇备至,但是我读起来这么的枯燥无味呢?
首先作者肯定没有错,既然有人能够从他的东西里获得乐趣,证明他写的东西还是有价值的。那如果这样说的话,那肯定是自己的错咯?可以这么说,也可以不这么说。
每个人读书的方式都是不一样的,有的人喜欢曲折的情节,有的人喜欢细腻的情感,有的人喜欢理性分析,有的人喜欢感性阅读。阅读的方式,往往决定了你能够从文章当中获得多少乐趣,文章与你的方式正好对味时,自然是其乐无穷。那要是没有对上呢?既然文章是不会变化的,那就自然需要我们变换方式了。但是不管怎么变,认真二字,是一直都需要有的。
《白象般的群山》是海明威非常著名的短篇小说,以对话的有力而闻名。
不去探索小说背后隐藏的社会含义,单从文本入手,相信很多读者在草草读过文章之后心里会冒出四个大字——什么玩意。
好像全是平淡无奇的对话,故事情节完全看不出来,两人的态度变化也是莫皮胡名其妙。
这篇文章根本就是徒有虚名嘛!
海明威是一个硬汉,他的性格完完全全地体现在了他的文字当中。他所写的文字,简洁、直接,就像一记直拳,他本人写作遵循“冰山原则”,八分之一在外,八分之七在内。要是你只凭这外面的八分之一就妄下断言,那就已经输了。
文章一开始就是一大段背景描写,背景暗示了什么,体现了什么,我们这些一般的读者从来没有想过这么多,我们也不需要想这么多。但是请注意,在这一段话里交代了男女主人公,而男女主人公所用的代词,却有些微妙。
The American and the girl.
一个美国人和一个女孩。
为什么我会注意到这一点呢?因为文章后面不远处就出现了一个woman,这个woman跟girl相比,自然是非常显眼。而且除了一开始海明威写到这个人是个美国人之外,后面指代这个男人全是用的man,这样就很有意思了。
他很明显是想突出这个男人是美国人,而且后面很多地方还写到这个女孩不认识西班牙文。要知道第一段里面可是写了他们现在正在西班牙的一个车站里等车,这个女孩不认识西班牙文,那就证明这个女孩肯定是跟随男人一起的,也是个美国人。
海明威没有直接写这个女孩是哪里的人,但是我们却从字里行间里推测出来了这个女孩是个美国人,是不是有一种当侦探的感觉?这也是海明威的高明之处,看似什么都没说,其实什么都在文章里。
两个美国人,来到西班牙,他们是来干嘛的,他们之间又有些什么样的故事?我们接下来继续分析。
那个女孩眺望着远处在阳光下白色的山脉,突然跟男人说了这么一段话。
"they look like white elephants."she said.
"I've never seen one,"the man drank his beer.
"No,you wouldn't have."
"I might have,"the man said."Just because you say I wouldn't have doesn't prove anything."
那个女孩说他们看上去像一群白象。
一般读到这里,读者都会下意识地认为女孩的这个they,指代的是她看到的山脉,这句话也就顺势翻译成那山脉像白象一样。但是这里关于这个代词我却有一个另外的猜测,先放在这里,等看完全段再继续说。
那个男人说他从来没有见过。
这里海明威用了一个代词one,这个单词是指代前面女孩说的东西,指代的什么呢?白象吗?我认为不是,要是白象的话,就不会有后两句对话了。
“你不会见到的。”
“我也许会见到。”男人说,“仅仅只是因为你说我没见过,那证明不了什么。”
这两句话很有意思,要是刚才那个one指代的是白象的话,女孩不能这么确切地说男人不会看见,因为主动权不在她那儿,而在男人这儿。通过这个分析,我们可以推断出one指代的是女孩一开始话中的they,誉握兆那这个they又是什么呢?
先不要急,让我们跳到文章稍后一些的地方。
"It's really an awfully simple operation,Jig,"the man said."It's not really an operation at all."
在这段话之前两人还在聊天喝酒,话锋陡然一转,突然男人说了一个很关键的单词"operation".
结合后面男人的话:"I'll go with you and I'll stay with you all the time. They just let the air in and then it's all perfectly natural."
我会陪着你,并且仅仅只是让空气进来一下,之后一切都很自然。
这么一说,大家应该懂这个"operation"是什么意思了,他要这个女人做手术。
可是他要这个女人做什么手术呢?海明威没有在文中明写,但是我们可以通过蛛丝马迹推理出来。
一开始我们就说到they这个代词的指代我认为不是山脉,而它具体的指代,就跟这场手术有关。
首先女孩就说到了他们像一群白象。白象这个词并不是字面意义上的白色的大象,在查过之后,你会发现白象这个词有一个背后的引申意义,那就是对于主人来说消耗巨大,实用性却很小的资产。
他们是这样一种资产?那他们是什么?
跳到文章后段。
There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights.
他们的包上贴满了他们过夜地方的标签。
一个美国男人与一个美国女孩,在陌生的西班牙住在一起,两人之间什么关系一看便知。
男女在一起之后正常的流程是什么?
相爱,滚床单,结婚,怀孕。
当然顺序也可以是怀孕,结婚。我估计文中就是这样一种情况,女孩怀孕了。
为什么要用“女孩”这个词?就是因为她是个女孩,所以肚子里的孩子对于她来说就像是白象一样,要是生出孩子来,她会付出很多,但是她能因此收获自己想要的东西吗?
女孩想要什么?自然是要跟男人在一起。可是如果她真的生下了孩子,男人还会跟她在一起吗?
以她对男人的了解,她认为男人不会。
而男人的性格,也在文中有所体现。
男人三番四次地对女人说,这个手术很简单,要是你不想做可以不做。如果一个男人真的下定了决心,他会这么多番强调吗?多次的强调,反而证明了他的虚伪。
所以这个男人要让这个女人打胎,但是他很虚伪。
这个they指代的东西,是不是一下就跃然纸上了?they指代的就是女孩肚子里的孩子,而这孩子对于女孩来说,也确确实实是像白象一样,让自己会失去很多东西。
当然这里又可以引申出一些对社会、人性的思考,这个女孩仅仅从利益交换的角度来思考这个孩子能够给她带来什么好处,完全没有考虑到自己“母亲”这个伟大的身份。分析背后的原因,可以从社会风气下手,也可以从女孩个人下手。
你看,仅仅从对一个代词的疑问下手,我们便可以从这篇文章中分析出这么多的东西来。文章里面还有很多我没有分析到的地方,比如上面提到的关于女孩的思考,但是篇幅所限,我也就不再细说了,大家感兴趣可以自己去仔细分析一下。
有的文章属于将一切都写在面上的类型,你只需要读下去就可以了,根本就不需要动脑;而海明威的文章像那样读就不行,像那样读的话你只能得到一堆不知所云的废话。但是如果你有些许的认真,和足够的想象力,你便能够从海明威的文章中得到足够的乐趣。
我上面做的分析一定是正确的吗?海明威写的时候一定是这么想的吗?这并不重要,一篇好的文章,就是要能够激发起无限的想象,能够让人们从文字中读出不一样的东西,找到属于自己的别样的乐趣。
这篇文章恰好就是这样,所以它理所应当的成为了传世名篇。
后:
这篇文章我用自己的方式做了一些分析,也确实从中得到了不少乐趣。要是你有一些不同的理解,欢迎参与讨论。
这一次说了海明威的短篇,粗读的话确实很没有意思,而且分析要用原文的语言才最精确,这次海明威的文章虽然英语不难,但是却是一个坎。下次我准备分析一篇中国作家的名篇,这样大家读起来会觉得更亲切一些。
对我解读名篇的方式感兴趣的读者,希望能喜欢一下文章,或者关注一下,有支持才会有动力嘛。

『柒』 关于《老人与海》中海明威的人生哲理及人生态度的英语论文
“人是不怕打败的,只怕打垮。”
“人生来就不是为了被打败的,人能够被毁灭,但是不能够被打败。”(最经典的一句)
“老人右手高举着钢叉,在它跃出水面的一瞬间,竭尽全力地向它的心脏掷去,一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命,它静静地浮在水面上……”
“想点儿开心事吧!老家伙”他说:每过一分钟,你就离家近一步,丢了四十磅鱼肉你航行起来更轻快了。
他不再梦见风暴,不再梦见妇女们,不在梦见伟大的事件,不再梦见大鱼,不再梦见打架,不在梦见角力,不再梦见他的妻子。
他如今只梦见一些地方和海滩上的狮子。它们在暮色中像小猫一般戏耍着,他爱它们,如同爱这孩子一样
鱼啊,’他轻轻地说出声来,‘我和你奉陪到死。’
它们(伤疤)象无鱼可打的沙漠中被侵蚀的地方一般古老。
他身上的一切都显得古老,除了那双眼睛,它们象海水一般蓝,是愉快而不肯认输的。
他梦见那长长的黄色海滩,看见第一头狮子在傍晚时分来到海滩上,接着其他狮子也来了,意识他把下巴搁在船头的模板上,船抛下了锚停泊在那里,晚风吹着海面,他等着看有没有更多的狮子来,感到快乐。
在大路的另一头老人的窝棚里,他又睡着了。他依旧脸朝下躺着,孩子坐在他身边,守着他。老人正梦见狮子。
“然而这是不公平的,他想。不过我要让他知道人有多少能耐,人能忍受多少磨难。
‘我和那孩子说过来着,我是个不同寻常的老头儿,’他说。‘现在是证实这话的时候了。’
他已经证实过上千回了,这算不上什么。眼下他正要再证实一回。每一回都四重新开始,他这样做的时候,从来不去想过去。”
一艘船越过世界的尽头,驶向未知的大海,船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜,旗帜上,舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限!”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。
《老人与海》这本书讲了这么一个故事:古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼,被别的渔夫看做失败者,可是他坚持不懈,终于钓到了一条大马林鱼,大马林鱼将他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽,被他杀死了绑在小船的一边,在归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击,他用尽了一切手段来反击。回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。尽管鱼肉都被咬去了,但什么也无法摧残他的英勇意志。
圣地亚哥是个可怜的老头。海明威以自己精炼的语言塑造了这个形象,可以说,海明威并没有给予老人成功,却赋予老人在压力下优雅而坚韧的形象。
海明威的这部小说荣获了诺贝尔文学奖和普利策奖。这个骨头里留有几百块弹片的硬汉作家,恰当地写出了生命的强度,告诉我们怎么去面对生、老、病、死,告诉我们心该有多宽。老人是孤独的,他是在理想的道路上前行的旅人,但他又是不孤独的,因为他的意志是那样的坚强。
看了这本书,我的心久久不能平静,这位普通而又可敬的老人使我深深的懂得了:做人不应该被任何困难所屈服,应该尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。
人性是强悍的,人类本身有自己的限度,但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战,超越它们,这个限度才一次次扩大,一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。在这个意义上,老渔夫圣地亚哥这样的英雄,不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败,都是值得我们永远敬重的。因为,他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信。
人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。它的道路漫长、艰难,而且充满坎坷,但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战,就将永远是一个真正的胜利者。
以前,我做什么事只要有一点不顺利,就会退缩,有时还会说上几句垂头丧气的话。在学习上,我只要有几次考试不是很理想就没有信心,认为自己考不到好成绩。《老人与海》中,主人公与鲨鱼搏斗,鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了,他就把小刀绑在桨把上。刀子折断了,他就用短棍。短棍也丢掉了,他就用舵把。这种充满信心、锲而不舍的精神,不正是我所缺少的吗?
自从读了这本书之后,我知道了自己的不足,学习上不再因为一两次不顺利而失去信心,而是越考不好,就越要考好。
今后,我不管遇到什么困难,都要信心十足地去面对,坚持到底,决不退缩。我要感谢这本书,感谢它让我学到了那么多知识,感谢它让我懂得了那么多道理,感谢它让我知道自己的不足,及时改正自己的缺点,使我成为一个对社会有用的人。
不妨将鲨鱼看作打击,吃掉我们的成功和幸福。但正如那孩子说的:“它没有打败你,它没有。”
一个真正的强者,只能被摧毁而不能被击败。
永不言败,这就是《老人与海》告诉我们的。
A ship over the end of the world, to the unknown sea, bow was hung with a though furrowed by rain and wind erosion are still gorgeous incomparable flag, flag, waving yunlong general four words glittering - beyond the limit! "The authors Hemingway is such evaluation his work" the old man and the sea ".
"The old man and the sea" this book about such a story: the Cuban old fisherman Santiago continuous eighty-four days without fish and by other fishermen as a loser, but his perseverance, and finally caught a big marlin, the big marlin will his boat on the sea tow three genius exhausted, was he killed tied to the side of the boat, on the return journey again and again was the shark attacks, he tried every means to counterattack. Back to port only head fish and a backbone. Although fish have been bite, but nothing can impair his heroic will.
San Diego is a poor old man. Hemingway to refined language shaped the image, can say, Hemingway did not give the old man to the top, but it gives the old man under pressure to elegant and tough image.
Hemingway's the novel has won the Nobel Prize for literature and the Pulitzer prize. The bones left in hundreds of piece of shrapnel tough writer, properly to write down the strength of the life, tell us how to face birth, old age, sickness, and death, and tell us how wide the heart. The old man is lonely, he is in the ideal way to done traveller, but he is not lonely, because his will is so strong.
Read this book, my heart can't be calm once in a very long while, the common and respectable old man that I deeply know the: person should not be any difficulty the yield, should try your best and the life suffering do indomitable struggle.
Human nature is tough, human itself has its own limit, but it is because of the old fisherman such person again and again to limit the challenge, transcend them, the limit to expand again, and again the greater challenges in front of the human. In this sense, the old fisherman Santiago such a hero, no matter they challenge the limit is success or failure, it is worth we always respected. Because, he brings us is the most noble human confidence.
Life is an endless process for pursueing. The road is long and tough as well as full of difficulties, but so long as he has a brave and confident heart to face the challenge, he will forever be a genuine winner.
Before, I do something as long as there is a little not smooth, it will shrink back, and sometimes say a few words down in the mps words. In the study, I as long as there is the exam several times is not very ideal, there is no confidence, think you take an examination of less than good grades. "The old man and the sea", the hero and the shark struggle, by a shark fish away, he took a knife in the OARS tie on. The knife was broken, and he will use a short stick. Short stick also lost, and he will use the rudder. This confidence, perseverance of the spirit, not is just what I lack?
Since after reading this book, I know my own shortcomings, learning is no longer because one or two times not smooth and lose confidence, but the exam is not good, want to take an examination of the good.
In the future, I no matter what difficulty we meet, are confident to face, persevere to the end and never retreat. I want to thank the book, thank it let I learned so much knowledge, thank it let me know so many reasons, thank it let me know my own shortcomings, to rectify their own shortcomings, causes me to become a useful person in society.
Might as well as shark attack, eat our success and happiness. But as the child said: "it does not beat you, it have no."
A real strong, can be destroyed but not defeated.
Never say die, this is "the old man and the sea" tell us.

But then they met a shark, the old man and the sharks were life-and-death struggle, the big marlin was eaten by sharks, fish skeleton old man finally dragged home only a bare.
Why not let the elderly Hemingway final victory? Novel in the words of the elderly: "a person is not born to be defeated", "a man can be destroyed, but not defeated." This is the "old man and the sea" to reveal the philosophy. Undeniably, as long as one would have defects. When a person recognizes this shortcoming and tried to overcome it and not go to it, no matter finally caught a full marlin or an empty skeleton, which have not really matter, because a person's life has value in the hunt Marlins in the process of fully embodied. Have their own pursuit of the ideal, struggle, he is not a winner? The old fisherman is wrong and the courage to challenge their own courage and confidence. Secular outlook from the perspective of victory, the old fisherman is not the final winner, because even though he began to beat the big marlin, but eventually the big marlin let sharks eat, he just took the big marlin bones house back to shore, that is to say, the shark is the winner. However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is a winner, because he has never been to sea to the big marlin sharks more compromise and not to surrender. As music master Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but can never be conquered".
Human nature is a powerful, humanity itself has its own limits, but it is because of the old fisherman such people again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, this limit was extended again and again, and again a greater challenge in front of human beings. In this sense, the old fisherman sangdeya brother this hero, whether they challenge limit is success or failure, is always worthy of our respect. Because, he brings us is the most noble human self-confidence!
Life is an endless pursuit. It is the road long, difficult and full of ups and downs, but, as long as he has a brave and confident heart to meet the challenge, he will always be a real winner!
《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫,独自一个人出海打鱼,在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大,拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜,老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验,终于把大鱼刺死,拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。
海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说:“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”,“人尽可以被毁灭,但却不能被打败。”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。不可否认,只要是人就都会有缺陷。当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候,无论最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼还是一副空骨架,这都已经无所谓了,因为一个人的生命价值已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了。曾经为自己的理想努力追求过、奋斗过,难道他不是一个胜利者吗?老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。从世俗胜利观的角度看,老渔夫不是最后的胜利者,因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼,但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了,他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上,也就是说,鲨鱼才是胜利者。可是,在理想主义者眼里,老渔夫就是胜利者,因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁,但我不能被征服”。
人性是强悍的,人类本身有自己的限度,但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战,超越它们,这个限度才一次次扩大,一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。在这个意义上,老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄,不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败,都是值得我们永远敬重的。 因为,他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信!
人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。它的道路漫长、艰难,而且充满坎坷,但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战,他将永远是一个真正的胜利者!

『玖』 谈谈阅读英文原著
目的不同,方法自然不同。想要阅读英文原哗链搜著的各位,也是抱着不同的目的来的。先谈谈为什么阅读原著吧。
我不是抱着为了学习英语的目的来读原著的,如果只是为了提高英语水平,有更为有效的手段。单项听说读写训练,去参加托福考试以及相关培训,甚至于看美剧练口语(那种一集看50遍以上的方法等我是没有尝试过)等等都比读原著来得快。关于学好英语可以看这里: 每天坚持英语学习为什么还是学不好? (这篇文章选自知乎回答,其中的建议我比较认乱历同。快速积累词汇对于阅读原著还是很有帮助的,如果你不想每读一段就要查个字典的话。)
我读原著,一方面出于保持英语水平的目的,另一方面就是纯粹的文学爱好。我真的很喜欢体验原汁原味的文字。
节选自简奥斯汀的小说 Persuasion(《劝导》,有电影版本),这样的文字这样的情感太美腻。
下面是我在微信公众账号“英语报道”中分享的The Sun Also Rises节选段落的引言,全文见 如果你喜爱英语阅读却不知道读什么,就来这里看看吧 。
原著小说的魅力,不读原著,是无法领悟的。就像中学时代我读《老人与海》,翻译成中文平淡无奇。不少垮掉的一代的小说翻译之后,读着无聊乏味。我读过《麦田守望者》,看到结局很感动,小说的意境也能体会大概。但是小说的语言就不敢恭维了。大学时在图书馆翻阅《了不起的盖茨比》,坚持看了十几页还是放弃了。
后来自唤首己尝试着找英文原著读,特别是在读过村上春树的《当我谈跑步时我在谈什么》。村上提到,斯科特菲茨杰拉德是他最崇拜的小说家,《了不起的盖茨比》是一部堪称完美的小说。我找到 The Great Gatsby, 瞬间就被英文的优美征服。不通过体味一部作品的语言,就无法体会到作者的风格、才智,作品的灵魂。
海明威是以语言的简练而闻名。他的小说,没有长篇短篇的划分,只是把自己要讲的话讲完。读他的书,只觉得就应该这么长。
另外,我自己也在一直探索英语阅读。不止是英文原著,也在寻找一些优秀的英文媒体报道来读。通过微信公众号“英语报道”分享给大家。
读原著对于英语水平的提升微乎其微吧,也难以衡量。因为本身这件事情的因果就是反过来的。是因为英语水平达到一定程度之后,去阅读自己之前无法读懂的书,开阔视野也好,享受文字的快感也好,都是为了不浪费十几年苦学的英语。
在读书的时候,也碰到过“长难句”。节选自简奥斯汀的小说《理智与情感》Sense and Sensibility:
因为作者写书的年代为19世纪初,所以语言有点绕。简奥斯汀很喜欢使用多重否定句,绕着绕着就不知所云了。在一位英语专业雅思8分的朋友的帮助下,才能够理解此句。“当坦诚并不可耻的时候,任何隐瞒都被玛丽安憎恶。” where no real disgrace could attend unreserve 是修饰 concealment 的定语从句,意为在。。。情况下的concealment。
所以,有时候阅读原著还是可以提升英语的。就看你有没有去关注表达,探究文字背后的寓意。
这段文字是Scott Fitzgerald的小说《了不起的盖茨比》The Great Gatsby的选段,这段文字不了解当时写作的背景是无法理解的。“gesture” 和 “emotion”具体是指什么?答案参考这里: But the rest offended her-- and inarguably, because it wasn't a gesture but an emotion.
读什么。经验不多,先谈谈我读过的书:
我很早就开始计划读英文原版小说,拖了至少有两年,才真正的有所进展。再次说明了There's nothing you can't do if you put your mind into it (引自电影Love, Rosie)。第一本读完的小说是毛姆的《面纱》,The Painted Veil,读过之后写了长长的影评。有兴趣可以来看看 Review of The Painted Veil 。毛姆的小说The Painted Veil比较好懂,阅读过程中没有太大的障碍。因为看过电影的缘故,对于剧情很熟悉,也有助于阅读原著。
之后读完了两年前就搁浅的小说The Devil Wears Prada, 就书来说,反而没有电影精彩节奏紧凑,就是通俗小说。读过之后又找了类似的小说《一个购物狂的自白》来读,Confessions of a shopaholic,读完又去看电影了。
海明威的The Sun Also Rises 是海明威最杰出的作品之一,语言的运用真的很有海明威硬朗简洁的风格,同时有散文诗的流畅。绝对值得一读。不过海明威的作品读起来还是比较有难度。
简奥斯汀的小说是有难度的,但是读她的小说都是因为深爱BBC改编剧。《傲慢与偏见》凯拉奈特莉版本看过三遍,《爱玛》2009 BBC版看了四五遍,《劝导》也是早年看过的一部影片,印象极为深刻。《理智与情感》2008版,《曼斯菲尔德庄园》1999版。一开始很喜欢《傲慢与偏见》,并读过中译本的小说。后来读原著,最喜欢的简奥斯汀作品是Emma《爱玛》和 Persuasion 《劝导》。Emma的故事风格完全不同于她其他的作品,《傲慢与偏见》和《理智与情感》沿用了类似的故事线。Emma 语言的运用最成熟老道,诙谐幽默。Persuasion也算是非常特别的一部作品,不像大部分小说的女主,有钱嫁了个好人家。个人喜欢Sense and Sensibility 多于 Pride and Prejudice。
Eat, Pray, Love 《美食祈祷爱》也是看过电影之后才读的,书比电影好太多了。推荐!
过了这么多年,终于读完了The Great Gatsby。心心念念已久的Gatsby,也终于坚持在读完书后去看了小李拍的电影。作者菲茨杰拉德,被誉为美国“迷惘的一代”(Lost Generation)的代表作家,也是“爵士乐时代”(Jazz Age)的桂冠诗人,他的代表作《了不起的盖茨比》被誉为当代最出色的美国小说之一(同时也是村上春树最为喜爱的小说)。
《了不起的盖茨比》写的根本就不是一个小资爱情故事,以至于故事本身毫无吸引力,这也就是为什么读中译本会觉得无聊。书的精彩之处全在于语言。菲茨杰拉德的简洁、精辟以及概括浓缩能力远远超过了海明威。曾经幼稚的我读过 The Sun Also Rises 以为领略了海明威式的不多一句废话,然而 Gatsby 才是无比的浓缩的精华啊!全书仅仅 5.3万个单词!
The Great Gatsby 评论戳这里: So We Beat On 领略下作者的语言。下面是全书著名的也是我反复读来读去也不怎么明白的开篇:
很多人最关心的问题就是“如何坚持”“怎么读”以及“阅读方法”。那先来谈谈坚持吧。
和坚持跑步坚持健身以及坚持任何一件事情一样,坚持读原著并不是一件特别困难的事情。只要你觉得这件事情对你很重要,那就可以坚持下来。当然我有很多半途而废的书没有读完,有很多做了一半的事情没有坚持完...但这并不妨碍我坚持去读书,因为我真的很喜欢。2年的时间也不短,17本书不算多,可能不少人会嗤之以鼻。一般来说小说要读1个多月,每天1-2小时,还会有间断的时候。例外的是 Divergent三部曲,平均3天读完一本书。畅销小说难度比较低,而且就是page turner, 那几天每天时时刻刻有空就读,也是入了迷了。但是要知道我读中文畅销书、成功学(类似《参与感》《周鸿祎自述》)的速度是2天一本,这很容易做到。一年读个四五十本,根本不算什么。所以不能拿别人一年读几十本书来要求自己读书。
我不想谈太多的方法论,很多微信大号教你去坚持2周读一本书、坚持健身、坚持干嘛干嘛,望月,warfalcon,改变自己等等。关于坚持我没有更好的方法,但读了那么多方法不去实施的你仍然在原地踏步。我的方法就是首先,一开始选书一定要选自己非常喜爱的作品。类似Harry Potter迷从读JK罗琳的原著开始就是一个很好的选择。只有有兴趣,才能从读原著中获得乐趣,从有可能读完。其次,就是坚持每晚都抽出睡前一小时读吧,如果能在工作中午休息之时坚持读,尽量在1-2周,最久也不要拖着过了一个月,就能坚持读完。个人经验,读完The Painted Veil大约花了一周,每晚读2-3小时,有时候会抽出一个下午大段的时间来加快进度。读完The Devil Wears Prada前后拖了超过两年,但最后一口气读完花了三周左右吧。海明威的The Sun Also Rises花了一个月,不是每天都读,但有空的晚上就会抽一到两个小时来读。周末也会抽出一个下午来读书。然后,不要逼得太紧。读不完的时候,就不读了呗。随意一点,等有兴致读的时候继续。读的兴起,一口气读完也不是不可能。关于每天坚持读1-2小时,我也不是经常可以做到。我能做到的是,想读书的时候,把一本书读完。总之,只有自己从读书中感到快乐,才可以持久。
坚持的方式有多种多样。为了保持一定的阅读量,我自己开了个微信公众号“英语报道”,至今一年半了,仍然在运营。虽然发文的频次降低,但是还活着。初衷不为别的,只为了约束自己,每周去读点文章。Alice in Wonderland就是在微信公众号发布连载小说时读完的。我还参加了英语读书会,Marva Collins' Way (一部关于美国黑人小学女教师的教育理念,本书是她的自传和教学方法,对于学习英语有不少启发) 就是在读书会期间完成的。每周一次,大约四周读完。有好几本书是在iBook上读完的。用安卓手机时,也用过Kindle APP,但是不喜欢也没坚持下去。iBook的体验还是很好的,Divergent三部曲之所以能短短三天内读完,也是因为手机随身携带,随时随地都可以阅读(啊我没有Kindle)。
读书的时候,一定会碰到不认识的单词。这道坎儿难倒了数不清的爱好者。很悲伤,没有很好的办法。背单词是一个办法,因为你词汇量太低说啥都没用,更别提领会语言的美了!这不扯淡么!或者是找自己能读懂的简单的文学作品来读,简单不代表没有文学价值,Alice in Wonderland足够简单了,四级词汇量多年没学习已经忘得差不多的也是可以读懂的。大部分的畅销小说很简单,Divergent三部曲就可以,Hunger Games没读过书不知道,应该也不难吧。找一些有电影改编版的书也会帮助你更好的理解原著。
词汇量1万多的,读原著还是不可避免的碰到生词。我的建议是,一页不要查太多的单词,这样会影响阅读速度。第一次遇到的生词不要管,不妨碍理解就可以。后来碰到多次的,可以查下记住。
有些书,一直在读,一直没有读完...看来有些书命中注定就是不能读完呀! 这事情也再正常不过,拿一位作家的文章来安慰下自己“ Why You Never Truly Finish a Book ”, 虽然境界不同,讲的也不是同一件事...
『拾』 ~~~~急求英语高手翻译翻译一段海明威的文字!!
The tough guy (Code Hero clan) is by Hemingway's unique vivid characters, these characters have image boxing division, the matador, hunter, etc, they all have fisherman's a indomitable, strong and unyielding character, in the face of violence and death, in the face of the inevitable fate, they are not afraid failure. Death, show a kind of easy, calm will power, and maintain the human dignity and courage.
Hemingway's life to the creation of the two themes, one is the courage, one is death. Relentless struggle with fate, when death to death when headed straight at the past, together with his opponent oath. In Ernest Hemingway's works, almost the same display this tragic and stirring--not of the control of fate, use different ways, this is a tough guy Hemingway's character. Hemingway's tough guy the formation of character experienced a graal development, graally mature process, not from the start to a perfect image on the reader's presence. Young of Hemingway's "butch" image is in an impregnable position men of war, and reflects the young of Hemingway's enthusiasm and initiative, and the indomitable late Hemingway's "butch" image, is drought-stricken vicissitudes, often frustrated but unwilling failure winner of the spirit. From the sun also rises, "Barnes, the Jake to" a farewell to arms "in the Federic Henry, then to for whom the bell tolls," the jordans, until the old man and the sea "in the Santiago, Ernest Hemingway, to really found the love of his life, completed his ideal image of the mold.
