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.

一提起《城南旧事》我的脑海里首先浮现的便是那首清越悠扬、古朴深婉人的骊歌“长亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天。晚风拂柳笛声残，夕阳山外山。天之涯，地之角，知交半零落。人生难得是欢聚，唯有别离多。长亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天。
问君此去几时还，来时莫徘徊。天之涯，地之角，知交半零落。一壶浊洒尽余欢，今宵别梦寒……”以及落花下，一个留着齐耳短发的女孩，在夕阳的余辉里静默着的画面。一边读着《城南旧事》，一边回想着电影里的镜头，仿佛身临其境：冬阳下的骆驼队，惠安馆的疯女人秀贞，蹲在草丛里为供弟弟上学而偷窃的厚嘴唇小偷，漂亮爱笑的兰姨娘，从小在凄风苦雨中饱受养父-待虐的伙伴妞儿，爸爸的好友德先叔，朝夕相伴的奶娘宋妈和沉疴染身的慈父……涉世未深的小英子的思绪，久久萦绕在时光与命运的变迁之中。但是这些人都在童年匆匆的脚步声中离去了。
“人生难得是欢聚，唯有别离多”，小小年纪，为何却早已体验了“知交半零落”的愁苦？夹竹桃零落满地，英子在懵懂与静默之中送别了自己的童年……读《城南旧事》的时候，没有太多的杂念，因为没有太多跌宕起伏的情节，所以心绪是淡然而平和的。感动着我的，只是这文字之间荡漾的一种淡泊与纯净。海音先生以儿童清澈的眼眸，用清新淡雅的文字，诉说她对城南旧事的情意缱绻。半个世纪的别离，城南的落花依旧，然而零落的，只是人们记忆的碎片。
“看见冬阳下的骆驼队走过来，听见缓慢悦耳的铃声，童年重临于我的心头”。京华古都的城垛颓垣、残阳驼铃、闹市僻巷……从容淡定之间，多少悲欢离合，掠过生命的轨迹。对于一个孩子来说，愁苦又有何用？“一壶浊洒尽余欢，今宵别梦寒”，童年去了，留下无穷思恋与怀想……蓦然回首，满地零落的花瓣儿，诉说着盛夏的情怀……骊歌的乐音仍在耳畔萦回着，一缕哀愁淡淡，一抹相思沉沉……情思之中，少了一丝懵懂，多了一点缅怀。正如她衣襟上的那朵沉默的夹竹桃。

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.

《傲慢与偏见》是英国著名女作家简·奥斯丁的代表作，这部作品以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法，作品描写傲慢的单身青年达西与偏见的二小姐伊丽莎白、富裕的单身贵族，彬格莱与贤淑的大小姐吉英之间的感情纠葛。其实这本书，在初一时已经接触过了，但当时对于剧情的繁杂很没有耐心，看了几章就没有了兴致，便一直搁在一旁，直至今日才重新拾起。不过再看开头几章时还是觉得很无趣，到后来明白才这里是在为以后的情景埋伏笔。一眨眼，三十几章已经过去了，人物的性格也很明显地被作者刻画出来了。
这本书中似乎只有两种人：聪明的和愚蠢的，没有绝对的好坏之分，骗子韦翰也许除外。他利用了自己巧妙的奉承能力以及一付“讨人喜欢”的仪表，迷住了伊丽莎白，不停地为自己洗刷冤情，中伤达西。可笑他的话里充满破绽，而聪明过人的伊丽莎白虽能与彬格来小姐辩驳，与咖苔琳夫人顶撞，却还是被韦翰牵着鼻子走。说实话，我并不认为伊丽莎白被骗说明他是一个”愚人”。人，总是先入为主，达西先生傲慢、无礼的样子早已进入伊丽莎白的头脑，还怎么对他产生好感？对于旁人的点评又怎能轻易的置若罔闻？对达西产生偏见是很正常的。我说的旁人自然就是指相貌堂堂的韦翰了。不可否认，韦翰长着一张英俊的脸，表面上也装得非常”绅士”。虽有”人不可貌相”、”知人知面不知心”之说可就连我这个活在二十一世纪，以旁观者的身份看这个故事，仍然对韦翰产生好感，又岂能怨伊丽莎白这一个生活在过去时代的姑娘？合上这本书，仔细地品味一番，方才发现，整部小说，之所以吸引人，完全是因为它轻松幽默的格调。伊丽莎白的嘲笑讽刺，正将那些自视绅士、淑女的贵族的本来面目暴露无疑。而伊丽莎白的父亲班纳特先生竟然以嘲笑太太、女儿为家庭快乐，幸哉？不幸哉？
文中的所谓「傲慢」就是指出身富贵、教养颇高、眼光锐利的青年达西的个性弱点；而所谓「偏见」是指出身中产阶级、教养颇好、机智聪明的小姐－伊丽莎白的精神弱点。一个眼光锐利，一个机智聪明，都属人中杰，但却都难免人性的弱点的纠缠。他们在一次的家庭舞会上初次见面，却因对彼此的印象不佳，一个态度傲慢，另一个心怀偏见。第一个印象先入为主，以后又加上女人们在旁闲言碎语，而造成了两人之间的爱恨情仇。伊丽莎白曾对达西说过：“我们的性情非常相似，我们都不爱交际，沉默寡言，不愿开口，除非我们会说出话来语惊四座，像格言一样具有光彩，流传千古。”就是因为这思想上的一致，才在婚姻中百般受到阻碍，同时也是因为这才最后促成美满的婚姻。伊丽莎白：如果放到现实社会，可能是个女权主义者。但关心自己的姐妹。直接，偶尔不懂礼节，调皮一点。却是这样迷住了达西。最重要的是善于和敢于像比自己身份高的人说“不”。从小说看，伊丽莎白聪敏机智，有胆识，有远见，有很强的自尊心，并善于思考问题。就当时一个待嫁闺中的小姐来讲，这是难能可贵的。正是由于这种品质，才使她在爱情问题上有独立的主见，并导致她与达西组成美满的家庭。
这部小说中通过班耐特五个女儿对待终身大事的不同处理，表现出乡镇中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度，从而反映了作者本人的婚姻观：为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的；而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。因此，她既反对为金钱而结婚，也反对把婚姻当儿戏。她强调理想婚姻的重要性，并把男女双方感情作为缔结理想婚姻的基石。书中的女主人公伊丽莎白出身于小地主家庭，为富豪子弟达西所热爱。达西不顾门第和财富的差距，向她求婚，却遭到拒绝。伊丽莎白对他的误会和偏见是一个原因，但主要的是她讨厌他的傲慢。因为达西的这种傲慢实际上是地位差异的反映，只要存在这种傲慢，他与伊丽莎白之间就不可能有共同的思想感情，也不可能有理想的婚姻。以后伊丽莎白亲眼观察了达西的为人处世和一系列所作所为，特别是看到他改变了过去那种骄傲自负的神态，消除了对他的误会和偏见，从而与他缔结了美满姻缘。伊丽莎白对达西先后几次求婚的不同态度，实际上反映了女性对人格独立和平等权利的追求。这是伊丽莎白这一人物形象的进步意义。
作品生动的反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。其社会风情画似的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者，实至今日，仍给读者以独特的艺术享受。她是第一个现实地描绘日常平凡生活中平凡恩的小说家，在英国小说史上起了承上启下的作用。奥斯丁的小说尽管题材比较狭窄，故事相当平淡，但是她善於在日常平凡事物中塑造鲜明的人物形象，不论是伊丽莎白、达西那种作者认为值得肯定的人物，还是魏克翰、柯林斯这类遭到讽刺挖苦的对象，都写得真实动人。同时，奥斯丁的语言是经过锤炼的，她在对话艺术上讲究幽默、讽刺，常以风趣诙谐的语言烘托人物的性格特徵。这种艺术创新使她的作品具有自己的特色。傲慢与偏见正是文字魔力结合感情升华的最佳表现。若说《红楼梦》是东方的贵妇人。《傲慢与偏见》则是西方的清秀佳人。

每当我读一本好书，看一篇好文章，就觉得在我眼前展开了一个全新的世界。朱自清的匆匆就是这样，它给我启迪，给我力量。
“燕子去了，又再回来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。”春意盎然的开头一下子吸引了我。我仔细看下去，原来作者并不是只为了描写春光，而是有这些事物来告诉我们要珍惜时光，要奋发向上，有所作为。
人们常说，世界最公平的是时间。时间对任何人都一视同仁。它既不慷慨地多施舍给哪一人一秒，也不吝啬地少给哪一个人一分。每个人每天拥有的都是84000秒。
你瞧，文章里说的多形象啊！时光从水盆里，从饭碗里，从双眼前过去。从身上跨过，从脚边飞去了，如轻烟，似薄雾那样飘走了，就像俗话说“光阴似箭，日月如梭。”古往今来，一切有所作为的人都是很珍惜时间的。宋代诗人陆游能做到“带饭未来还读书”；鲁迅是把别人喝咖啡的时间用在学习上，工作上；爱因斯坦，牛顿等许许多多的科学家都是珍惜时间的楷模。
而我们身边有许许多多的同学在浪费时间，或干脆无聊地闲逛，或沉迷网络游戏，或漫无目的的玩耍……这最要不得，因为人生短暂，只有抓紧时间做些有益的事，积少成多，才能有所成就。
人生中最宝贵的是青少年时期。青少年时期是短暂的，但这个阶段精力充沛，记忆力最旺，我们要珍惜时间，认真学习，做好“入世”的准备！
让我们一起珍惜时间吧！努力，从现在开始！
