Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
读完了《简爱》,我知道这是一个十分艰巨的过程。这连住的几日,我几乎除了吃饭和睡觉,一切时间都耗费在这本来自遥远国度的小说里。然而我还得在抱怨的同时,不得不承认它的杰出与迷人。很少见到这样迷人的异国风情。这充满着英国十九世纪趣味的故事里,让我感慨了很多。其实我应该早些接触这本书,早就有很多的人介绍它了。可惜,我拥有着一点排外的情愫,一直拖到现在去欣赏它,实在有些相见恨晚。
作为一个中国人,我对英国人的思维和宗教信仰有点难以适应。不过呢,人世间的真情多数是相通的。每当我读到小简爱因为无亲无故而遭受虐待和歧视时,心中顿起的怜悯之情真让人难忘;每当简爱一次次化险为夷让我多么兴奋;当她勇敢地拒绝了圣约翰的求婚而坚持自己心中的真爱时,多么令鼓舞和震撼;特别在文章最后,她抛弃一切去照顾那位可怜的爱德华时,我的心中欣慰与感动迸发而出。
关于这本小说,我想它最大的成功之处就是它在很多艺术方面的杰出融合。我敢确信这本书的作者是一位多才多艺的作家。首先,她在描绘风景时,是以一个画家的审美角度去鉴赏,以一个画家情趣去把握光和影的和谐。读中国的小说很少见到这样细腻的风景描写的词汇。应该要感谢这本书的译者周令本的深厚的国文功底,使译本文采熠熠,令原著生辉。其次,夏落蒂。波郎特在语言学上的造诣也很深厚,作为一名英国人,作者可以说至少精通三种以上的外国语言。在读这本书的时候,我感觉自己可以通过它感受到整个欧洲的文化氛围。比方说英国人的自豪感和绅士风味,德国的大国气氛以及法国女性的天生浪漫情趣。甚至还读出了英国人那种殖民主义的歧视东方人的心理,比如他们称印度是个野蛮的民族。再次,夏落蒂。波郎特对感情戏的处理上,可以称得上很高明。她的主人公很少是一见钟情,这比较现实,但是她赋予的爱情总是在默无声息深入到读者的心田里。如此巧妙的感情戏,让我很意外,很惊喜。
《简爱》的作者如果和中国的曹雪芹相比,毫无疑问,后者的文化底蕴要更博深一些。就像中国和英国人拼比历史,中国人可以无愧地说:我比你老的多。曹雪芹一生所学要比夏落蒂。波郎特要广博的多,毕竟中国的文化底蕴要丰盛的多。中肯的说,简爱的确比不上中国的《红楼梦》。不管是人物丰富还是物致的描绘上,《红楼梦》都是更为杰出的。但是,《简爱》中也有值得中国人去学习和欣赏的地方。比方说,《简爱》对人物的心理描写方面,可以说淋漓尽致。这点在很多中国人的文学作品中做的都不够。
读这本书我仿佛读了一遍《圣经》,西方人对宗教笃深的感情与真诚的信仰,真很令人敬佩。现在的中国是一个缺乏信仰的时代。在读《简爱》时候,让我感受到在拥有宗教哺育下才可以得到的人情的纯美,在现在的中国这真的很难得。其实,很多圣经里的教诲与中国的孔儒的经典思想是相通互补,而现在国人却往往忽视了祖先的睿智。比如圣经里劝人从善,劝人宽忍,劝人感恩,与孔老夫子劝国人礼义仁,两者是相同的。在读《简爱》的时候,我时常被圣经里的美好的思想启迪着,让我联想到中国的现状,心中似乎收获许多。让我坚信,对于中国的儒家文化真的需要重新审视。
as we know , water is very important to man, we can’t live without water. the amount of water which is suitable to drink is less and less. but some people don’t care about it .they waste a lot of water in their daily life. even worse, they pour dirty water in to rivers. they throw rubbish into rivers , too. many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted.something must be done to stop the pollution. only in this way can we live happily. if we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of us.
we know that despite the fact that seventy percent of the earth's surface is covered with water, only a little part of it is fresh water. yet the demand for fresh water in our daily life and in industry seems great. moreover, with the expansion of the population and development of industry, the amount of the fresh water needed will increase even rapidly. it is estimated that if such a trend continues, the fresh water on earth will be exhausted very soon. what is worse, more and more water resources are being polluted, making the water unfit to use.
in addition,we must warn the people of the importance of water and the danger we are facing.for example, in most asian societies where rice is the staple food, the water used after cleaning rice contains various nutrients for plant growth and is an excellent detergent to flush the toilet. furthermore, the intriguing idea of converting the inexhaustible sea water to fresh water supplies will be the ultimate solution.
水——我们的朋友 平达曾说过:“自然界的一切事物中,唯有水最珍贵。”是啊,水是我们的朋友,没有了水,就没有了我们。让我们一起与水做个好朋友吧! 水看见人们不节约用水,伤心地说:我对人类的所作所为感到不满,我为人类做了那么多的贡献,可人类总是滥用我。这样既会导致水源的'流失,又会严重影响生态环境。 在生活中,处处都要用到水。洗菜要用水,洗车要用水,洗澡要用水??,这往往会浪费很多水。其实,请把水龙头开小一点,把废水再次利用,这样我们就能与水做好朋友了。比如:洗菜水可以浇花;洗澡水可以冲马桶??这样,不仅能节约用水,还对别的事物有好处呢! 如果水能这
样一滴一滴的节约起来,虽然不是太多,但是全世界人民都这样做,怎么会没有水呢? 人们可知道,世界上有许多地方水都很少,有些人,因为喝不上水,而死去,他们说:“请他们喝酒,不如请他们喝水。”下雨天,曾是他们最快乐的日子,他们可以用雨水洗澡,还能接水,以后用。他们把水当做奇珍异宝, 每次喝水都要去很远的井里去挑,那井里的水比黄河水还浑浊,比海水还难喝。由此可见,他们是多么爱水啊!如果我们能节约用水,他们的生
活难道会这样吗? 不节约用水,不但会导致水源的流失,还会影响生态环境。 有些工厂既不节约用水,还排放污水放到河流中,这样,水不仅流失了,还会影响生态环境。
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.”
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.
巍巍呼高山,汤汤乎流水。飞涧旁这段以诚相待,曲论相和的一瞬定格为千古佳话。知音难求,伯牙奏琴为子期,摔琴亦为子期。这情意如何不令人感动。而今,披肝沥胆的知音再也难觅。只缘人们拥有的纯洁太少。没有水的纯净,没有透明敞开的胸怀,着世间就无真诚可言。何不收其虚伪,展示真诚。
看着这透明如水晶的水,我们那颗被世俗之尘掩埋得太久的心,怎能没有冲见天日呼吸真诚的冲动。拥抱纯真,拥抱真诚,去成就一段马克思恩格斯般高尚的友谊,去结交一位誓友,莫逆,忘年,只要心相知,手相牵,意相同。
水教人真诚,正如叶尖那滴雨露,透明纯洁,折射出太阳的光芒。
天下之柔莫过于水。昼夜不舍的滴坠去赋予水无穷的力量。因渺小而被忽视,因忽视而暗中积攒着力量,直到将万年磐石一点点磨蚀,在世人惊叹的注目中有了穿石的壮举。
明白了持之以恒,竺可桢数十年如一日,观察记录天气情况,终成举世著名的气象学家,懂得了锲而不舍,贝多芬在静寂的世界中,用心灵演奏了命运交响曲的豪壮,有了水刚柔相济的力量,这世上多了几份执着,几份坚持。
水教人执着,正如那穿石得滴水,下坠,下坠,最终拥有成功的欢悦。
水,这就是水,水以其博大,纯净,力量感动着我,而我亦将用博大,纯净和力量去书写自己的人生,我不敢奢求拥有一段辉煌的人生,我只企盼今生无悔。
水是一切有机体的主要组成部分,全球动植物和40亿人体内含有约11200亿吨水。人类社会依赖水而生存发展。古代,人类对水取利避害,适应水而生存;近代,人类对水兴利除害,兴建工程,开发水利,控制水害;现代,随着社会和生产的发展,地球上可资利用的水日趋短缺,水体受到污染,严重影响人类生存的环境,人类逐渐认识到水是一种重要资源和环境因素,从而在更高的水平上开始对水开展了新的兴利避害活动。
世界气象组织1996年初指出:缺水是全世界城市面临的首要问题,估计到2050年,世界2/3以上的人口将生活在城市,而全球有46%的城市人口缺水,必须平衡社会经济发展和城市淡水供应管理二者之间的关系,进行水资源的储存、输送和管理的大规模工程建设。
