The Lottery中文版摸彩作者：雪莱·杰克森六月27日的早晨晴朗无云，有着盛夏时节新鲜的温暖；花儿开得繁茂，草儿长得绿油油。

十点钟左右，村里的人们开始在邮局和银行间的广场上聚集；有些城镇因为人太多，摸彩不得不花上两天，而且要在六月2日开始，但是在这个村子里，只有三百来人，摸彩的全程至多不会超过两小时，所以可以在早晨十点钟开始，并且仍能够让村民们准时回家吃上午饭。

首先集合来的当然是孩子们。

最近学校在放暑假，自由感不安地降落在多数人身上；在他们疯玩起来之前，他们往往会安静地聚在一起一会儿。

他们谈论的仍是学校和老师，书本和惩戒。

博比·马丁已经在他的衣兜里塞满了石子，其他男孩子很快也学起他的样子，挑选了最圆滑的石头；博比和哈里·琼斯还有迪克·戴拉克罗莱——村里人都把这个姓读作“戴拉克罗利”——最后终于在广场一角堆出了一个大石堆，他们守护着石堆，不让其他男孩袭击它。

女孩们站在一边，互相聊着，转过头看到哥哥姐姐们蜂拥而来或是偎依而行。

不久，男人们开始聚来了。

他们看着自己的孩子，讲着种地、雨水、拖拉机还有税收的事。

他们站在一起，离角落里那堆石头很远，他们开的玩笑有些单调，他们只是平静地笑笑。

女人们穿着褪了色的便装和毛衫，继她们的丈夫之后不久也来了。

她们彼此招呼着，闲谈上一两句，然后加入到她们丈夫的行列里。

很快，这些站在丈夫身边的女人们开始喊她们的孩子，孩子们来得很不情愿，必须要叫四、五遍。

博比·马丁躲开了他妈妈抓过来的手，笑着，又跑回到石堆那里。

他爸爸厉声喊了一下，博比赶快过来了，站到爸爸和哥哥中间。

T这次摸彩——就像广场舞会、少年俱乐部、万圣节前夕的节目——由夏莫斯先生主持。

他有时间和精力来投身于市民的活动。

他是个圆脸、快活的男人，他经营煤炭生意，人们很可怜他，因为他没有孩子，妻子又是个那样的泼妇。

当他带着黑木箱来到广场时，村民们窃窃私语起来，他挥挥手，喊道，“今天有点晚了，乡亲们。

the lottery概括

《The Lottery》是美国作家雪莱·杰克逊于1948年创作的一篇短篇小说。

小说以一种极其恐怖和令人震惊的方式揭示了人性中的黑暗面和人们对传统的盲目追随。

故事发生在一个小村庄，每年的6月27日，村民们都会举行一次抽签活动，即“摸彩”。

整个活动过程都很简单，每个家庭的成员根据先前抽出的纸条，再次从黑盒子中抽取一张纸条。

当中只有一张纸条上会有黑点，得到这张纸条的人将被定为“幸运儿”，他们的家庭会参与最终的摸彩仪式。

摸彩仪式上，整个村庄的人聚集在一起，把纸条放进另一个箱子中。

然后，一个代表抽取纸条的人开始从箱子中抽出纸条，当决定出“幸运儿”的一刻，最终被抽中的那个家庭的成员，会被村庄的其他居民高举起来，与巨大的石头一起被砸死。

小说并没有明确告诉读者这个仪式的目的或意义，只是一直保留着悬念，直到最后几个段落才揭示了真相。

那就是，这个仪式是为了祭祀，通过牺牲一个人来换取好运和丰收。

小说以平民百姓的角度，揭露了这个世故和残酷的群体仪式。

村民们之间嬉笑着、交谈着，仿佛并不真正意识到他们正在参与一个杀戮游戏。

这使得整个故事更加恐怖和令人不安。

《The Lottery》探讨了人性中的暴力本能和群体心理。

小说中的村民们无条件接受并参与这个仪式，因为它是他们历史悠久的传统和文化的一部分，他们认为这是为了村庄的幸运和繁荣。

他们的无条件服从和参与使得他们成为了施暴者，只有在自己被选中的那个时刻才会觉得害怕和愤怒。

这个故事也揭示了盲目追随的危险。

村民们似乎没想过为什么要进行这个仪式，他们没有质疑它的合理性和道义。

他们只是盲目遵循传统，丝毫不去思考背后的意义和后果。

作者通过小说让读者思考并质疑所谓的传统和权威，以独特而令人不安的方式揭示了人性的黑暗面和群体行为的残酷性。

这个故事触及了人们内心深处的恐惧和不安，提醒我们要保持独立思考，不被盲目的传统和权威所左右。

《The Lottery》是一篇令人深思的短篇小说，通过其悬疑的情节和恐怖的氛围，揭示了人的本性和群体行为的危险。

thelottery读后感

thelottery读后感导读：本文thelottery读后感，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。

篇一：the lottery读后感昨天查资料时看到有篇文章这样说Jackson写的这篇故事：美国大多数人应该都知道这篇文章，即使不知道是谁写的，也应该知道“ The Lottery（摸彩）”这个故事。

我感觉，这篇《The Lottery（摸彩）》的性质，应该和《皇帝的新装》差不多吧。

看完那篇《The Lottery》之后，心里嗟吁不已。

那个小镇有个上百年来一直沿袭着的传统，每年六月里的一天，总会把小镇上的人们聚集在一起，摸彩。

随着故事散漫地进展，我也散漫地读着。

天气如何地好，女孩子们如何地聚在一起聊些无聊的话，男孩子们如何地搞闹追逐着玩石块。

大人们如何有一句没一句地拉家常，等着摸彩。

镇长如何地捧了大盒子过来，如何准备工作都做好了。

然后怎样一个人一个人地被叫上去摸彩。

故事就这么有一搭没一搭地进展着。

等所有人都摸了彩以后，镇长才让大家一起打开摸到的纸片。

我呢，仍是不在意地读着。

直到读到结尾，抽到彩的那人原来是要被全村人用石头打死。

于是从刚刚散漫的故事进展中我忽地一惊，吓了一跳。

心里嗟吁不已。

摸彩是这个镇上人上百年来的习俗，每年都要摸彩摸出一个人来，然后其余的人用石块将他打死。

人们在摸彩前后及扔石块时竟没有一点哀痛，只是忙忙碌碌地想快快打完了收工，赶着回家继续各自没干完的活儿。

因为对于这样一个“传统”，镇上的每个人都已是根深蒂固地习惯了，在他们的概念里，摸彩是理所当然的，摸到彩的人要被众人打死也是理所当然的。

而作为局外人，读完之后只觉的哭笑不得，好不可思议！因为这个传统本身就是如此地没道理，如此地荒谬，也如此地恶心。

我开始时不喜欢这个故事，可后来越想便越感受到它寓意的丰蕴醇厚。

事实自然是如此，坚持着一个传统的人自然是觉的自己所坚持的传统是理所当然的。

我们也是如此。

而问题是：你如何知道在这些你认为是理所当然的传统中，哪些是真理，哪些仅仅是由传统和文化影响所成的定式思维呢？哪些是该坚持的，哪些是不该坚持的呢？不光是“传统”，其实是推到我们所信之事的每一个层面。

黑布林英语阅读初一读后感中英结合全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Black Goblin English Reader: A Journey into the Realm of StoriesAs an eager learner navigating the winding paths of English proficiency, the "Black Goblin English Reader for Grade 7" has been my trusty companion, unveiling a captivating world of stories that have not only enriched my language skills but also kindled a profound appreciation for the art of storytelling.The very first tale that enraptured me was the timeless classic, "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Its eerie atmosphere and cautionary undertones left an indelible mark on my psyche, teaching me the perils of tampering with fate. The suspenseful narrative and vivid imagery transported me to a realm where every wish carried unintended consequences, instilling in me a newfound respect for the power of words.Another story that resonated deeply was "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. This poignant tale of selfless love and sacrifice touched my heart, reminding me of the true essence ofgiving. The intricate plot and masterful use of irony left me in awe, inspiring me to appreciate the intricate tapestry of language and the nuances that breathe life into stories.As I delved deeper into the anthology, I encountered tales that challenged my perceptions and broadened my horizons. "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, with its shocking twist and thought-provoking commentary on societal norms, left me questioning the very fabric of our beliefs and traditions. It was a powerful reminder that literature can serve as a mirror, reflecting the complexities of human nature and igniting important discussions.The Black Goblin English Reader not only exposed me to a diverse array of literary masterpieces but also provided invaluable language learning opportunities. The accompanying exercises and vocabulary lists allowed me to solidify my understanding of the stories while expanding my English proficiency. The comprehension questions prompted me to analyze the narratives critically, fostering my analytical skills and deepening my appreciation for the intricacies of language and literature.Moreover, the reader introduced me to a kaleidoscope of cultural perspectives, enabling me to step into the shoes ofcharacters from various backgrounds and explore the richness of human experience. From the haunting realms of gothic fiction to the whimsical worlds of fantasy, each story offered a unique lens through which to view the world, broadening my horizons and nurturing a sense of empathy and understanding.However, the true magic of the Black Goblin English Reader extended far beyond the pages of the book itself. It became a catalyst for lively discussions and shared experiences within my classroom community. We would eagerly dissect the narratives, debating their themes, analyzing character motivations, and exploring the deeper meanings hidden beneath the surface. These conversations not only fostered a love for literature but also honed our critical thinking and communication skills, preparing us for the academic challenges that lay ahead.In retrospect, the Black Goblin English Reader has been an invaluable companion on my educational journey, igniting a passion for storytelling and language learning that will undoubtedly shape my future endeavors. It has taught me that literature is not merely a collection of words on a page but a powerful medium that transcends boundaries, sparking imagination, fostering empathy, and inspiring personal growth.As I bid farewell to this cherished reader and embark on new adventures in the realm of English literature, I carry with me the lessons and experiences it has bestowed upon me. The stories have become woven into the tapestry of my life, serving as beacons of wisdom and sources of inspiration. With each turn of the page, I have grown not only as a student but also as an individual, embracing the transformative power of language and storytelling.The Black Goblin English Reader has truly been a gateway to a world of endless possibilities, and for that, I am forever grateful. Its legacy will endure, as I continue to seek out new literary horizons, forever enchanted by the magic of words and the worlds they unveil.篇2Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first book in the Harry Potter series that I read in my first year of English class. 当时我对英语阅读还是很陌生的,but through this novel, I was able to improve my English reading comprehension and develop a love for the magical world of Harry Potter.The story follows the life of a young orphan boy named Harry Potter who lives with his abusive aunt and uncle's family,the Dursleys. 一切就在他11岁生日的时候改变了- Harry discovers that he is actually a wizard, and has been accepted to study at the prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.从一开始,我就被Harry的人物形象深深吸引了。

The Lottery彩票英文读后感

The Lottery--By Cave dweller The Lottery is written by Shirley Jackson, which tells stories of weird or psychopathic subjects placed in direct, realistic settings. The story focuses on a middle-aged housewife and mother of four children, Tessie Hutchinson, a woman who "wins" the lottery and is stoned to death by members of her village. The Lottery employs symbols and allegories to express author's intentions.A important symbol in the story is the black box which is old and shabby. While the villagers are unwilling to replace it, just as they refuse to give up their tradition of the lottery. Therefore, the black box may symbolize the tradition which roots in villagers minds that the sacrifice of someone will benefit the village even if that person has not done anything wrong. The black box's color may also symbolize the death of that person. The stone as a tool to kill symbolizes coldness and cruelty. The names of the characters imply some meanings too. Joe Summer who strongly protects the tradition is said to symbolize the evil of capitalism and social stratification. Mr. Graves's name represents tragedy.Ironically, the story unfolds in a fine day "the morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day". The setting is in a seemingly civilized and peacefulvillage. But it ends up in a horrible death. This contradictory reveals that horrifying acts of violence can take place anywhere at any time. And the most ordinary people can commit the crime to kill an innocent people. The name of the story, "The Lottery", is an allegory. Normally, lottery means the chance of gain. Winning a lottery is a good and lucky thing. However, in the story, lottery means the horrible death. Mr. Summers represents joviality, while his supporting of the custom brings tragedies to the villagers.。

the lottery ticket读后感

the lottery ticket读后感Next to bullfight and soccer, lotteries are Spain's biggest sport2。

There's some kind of drawing3 almost every week, but the most important of them all is the one held just before Christmas。

Its grand prize is 50 million pesetas4, which is about $1,250,000。

And tax free5, too。

The tickets are sold year round, all over Spain。

Every number is divided into a hundred parts, and most people buy one part, which costs about $1。

When the winning numbers are posted6, nobody in Spain works or eats or thinks of anything else。

Walking along El Prado7 in Madrid that day in the 1950', I passed a cafe where I saw the winning figures posted and excited people looking at them。

Like almost everybody in Spain I had a 1/100 ticket。

My hand was trembling as I took out my wallet and looked at my own ticket。

The author uses his words todescribe him as a brutal, conservative, numb, stubborn man.“Old Man Warner snorted, "Pack of crazy fools," he said."Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live that way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.’”Here, he believed the advantages of lottery, keeping the old conception instead of accepting new ideas.2.Irony(1)“Mrs. Delacroix said, "You're in time, though. They're still talking away up there.""Seems like there's no time at all between lotteries any more," Mrs. Delacroix said to Mrs.Graves in the back row. "Seems like we got through with the last one only last week."From the quotation, we know that Mrs. Delacroix talked friendly to Mrs. Hutchinson, but later on she killed her with a big stone without any pity. Author uses ironic tone to express the detest of the folks who believe in old tradition and criticizes both the traditions and folks like Mrs. Delacroix.(2) “Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"”the original meaning of“Delacroix”is the Cross which represents for “Christianity”.Then, author uses irony of people’s mistake of pronouncing that word to criticize their misunderstanding of Christianity by doing Lottery.3.Repetition(1)“Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers, "You didn't give him time enough to takea ny paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!"”"It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed and then they were upon her.Here, the author uses the repetition of the words of Mrs. Hutchinson stating “unfair” to show her sorrow and fear. She better passes the message of the bad of the Lottery through emphasizing the pain .(2)The black boxThe author describe the black box over and over again in order to criticize the old tradition through the repetition of the black box.4.Symbolize(1)Mr. Su mmer is the name of one main character. “Summer” is the symbol of years andpassing time which is also ironically revealing that the folks are numb.(2)the original meaning of “Delacroix”is the Cross which is the symbol for“Christianity” .Then, author uses irony of people’s mistake of pronouncing that word to criticize their misunderstanding of Christianity by doing Lottery.(3)The name “Graves” is the symbol of death.。

好运先生倒霉先生读后感

好运先生倒霉先生读后感英文回答："Good Luck, Bad Luck" is a fascinating story that explores the concept of luck and how it can affect our lives. The story revolves around two characters, Mr. Good Luck and Mr. Bad Luck, who have contrasting experiences in life due to their respective luck.Mr. Good Luck is a fortunate man who seems to always be in the right place at the right time. He wins the lottery, finds money on the street, and everything seems to go his way. On the other hand, Mr. Bad Luck is constantly faced with misfortune. He loses his job, gets into accidents, and encounters one setback after another.As I read the story, I couldn't help but reflect on the role luck plays in our lives. It made me question whether luck is just a matter of chance or if there is something more to it. The story suggests that luck is not solelydetermined by external factors but also by our attitude and mindset.For example, Mr. Good Luck always maintains a positive outlook on life, even in the face of adversity. He believes that every setback is an opportunity for growth and learning. This optimistic mindset allows him to overcome obstacles and turn them into advantages.On the other hand, Mr. Bad Luck constantly dwells on his misfortunes and believes that he is destined to be unlucky. His negative mindset becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as it prevents him from taking risks and seizing opportunities.The story also highlights the unpredictable nature of luck. Sometimes, what initially appears to be bad luck can turn out to be a blessing in disguise. For instance, Mr. Bad Luck loses his job but ends up finding a new careerthat he is passionate about. This unexpected turn of events demonstrates that luck is not always straightforward and can change in an instant.In conclusion, "Good Luck, Bad Luck" is a thought-provoking story that delves into the complexities of luck and its impact on our lives. It reminds us that luck is not solely determined by external factors but also by our mindset and attitude. The story's characters serve as a reminder that we have the power to shape our own luck through our actions and perspectives.中文回答：《好运先生，倒霉先生》是一个引人入胜的故事，探讨了运气的概念以及它如何影响我们的生活。

《契诃夫短篇小说选》英文读后感

《契诃夫短篇小说选》英文读后感Chekhov Short Stories Selection: A Fascinating Collection of Human Emotions and RelationshipsAnton Pavlovich Chekhov, the master of the modern short story, is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Known for his elegant prose and insightful character portrayals, Chekhov's short stories continue to captivate readers to this day. In this selection of his short stories, we get a glimpse of the author's profound ability to explore human emotions and relationships.One of the most striking features of Chekhov's short stories is his ability to portray the complexity of human relationships. In "The Lady with the Dog," for instance, he tells the story of a married man who falls in love with a woman he meets while on vacation.

Through his powerful descriptions of the characters' inner thoughts and feelings, Chekhov illustrates the deep-seated longing that often lurks beneath the surface of relationships.Another recurring theme in Chekhov's stories is the tension between the desire for freedom and the need for belonging.

Despite her longing for independence, she cannot escape the pull of societal expectations and the desire for companionship. Through this poignant tale, Chekhov reminds us that our search for love and acceptance often comes at a great cost.While many of the stories in this collection are melancholic in nature, there are moments of humor and irony that serve to lighten the mood. In "The Lottery Ticket," for example, a couple suddenly find themselves with the winning lottery ticket, imagining all the luxuries they can finally afford. However, as they begin to fantasize about their newfound wealth, they quickly realize that money can bring its own set of problems.What makes Chekhov's stories so powerful is their ability to resonate with readers on a deep emotional level.

Referring to Mark Twain, you must feel familiar, because we must have read his works before. I still remember the article “ T he Bite Events on the Train” in our textbook when I’m in the middle school. What touched me most at that time were his ironic words. Yes, he is a great humorist, novelist, writer and orator in America in nineteenth century. During his 40 years’ writing car eer, he created dozens of short or long stories, among which “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is of the most popularity, which was praised by Hemingway as “the first real American literature”. But today I am introducing his another work------ The Million Pound Note.This story tells about a poor but honest American Adam Henry. When he was wandering in the street of London, he was given by two billionaires a letter, in which he surprisedly found a ￡1,000,000 pound bank-note. Later he got to know that the two billionaires who were brothers had made a bet about the results after he got a one million-pound note at once. One of them thought the note wound count for nothing to the poor man because he could not prove that the money was his own whilethe other considered just as the opposite. Dramatically, the plot went just out of my expectation. Herry went to a restaurant to have dinner first. The manager was mean to him at the beginning but his attitude changed quickly when Herry took out the note and asked for change. Faced with a millionaire, the manager apologized again and again and obsequiously told Herry that he didn’t need to pay for the bill right now. So Herry managed to have a free dinner.Then similarly, Herry went to a clothing shop and got a suit of clothes costing him nothing. Like the plot above, people are curious of such a rich man and tried every means to cozy up to him, from free food， free clothes to free accommodation. At the same time, his social status was becoming higher and higher and finally higher than most dukes. Apart from that, he later got a beautiful wife and 200,000 pounds of bank interest. I can imagine a bright future was waiting for him. The writing style of this story is so humorous. Mark Twain used hyperbole describing how our hero defeated snobbishness repeatedly. What I appreciate most is the detailed description of different people’s ridiculous actions before one million pounds, vivid, funny, ironic and humorous, which forms a Caricature. In terms of the theme, it is apparent that the author wanted to denounce the overflowing mammonism in the society. Even now it gives us an impressive lesson. Yes, I cannot deny the importance of money to a person who wants to survive. We won’t live without money, with which we get food, clothes, house and many otherNecessities. But we must know that there are many things which can’t be bought with money such as love or friendship. So in my opinion, money may be important to us, but not the most important. We need to build up the correct sense of money.Another point I want to emphasize is honesty. From the plot, we can see that there were so many people the brothers could choose, so why just Herry? I think it was because he was honest. When he got the note, what he did wasn’t use it right n ow but return it to the brothers. Without a kind and honest heart, Herry couldn’t have been such a successful man. There are various of tempertation alluring us in our life, Only by keeping honesty and consciousness inside can we manage to resist them. T o sum up, this story is a really good work of Mark Twain. The lesson I’ve learnt from it makes me want to be an honest man sincerely and lets me not to worship money too much. I begin to regret not reading it earlier.百万英镑读后感英文Based on Mark Twain's novel, 'The Millionaire Pound Note' takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the 50s England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that you're a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost. Interestingly, 'The Millionaire' also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were welcomed as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that he's an outsider either makes him more appealing or the complete opposite. The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society. The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at theright time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained.A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith, as Peck's sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points. 百万英镑读后感英文I knew Mark Twain when i was a middle school student. In my memory, there is an article in my English textbook that written by him. At that time, I pay no attention to Mark Twain. However, i knew more about him after I learned the History and Anthology of American Literature, he appeals to me dearly and deeply. As a result, I read a part of his novels in part time. Here I will introduce Million Pounds to you. Before that, I will give some information about Mark Twain to you. And last, it comes my though.Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910) was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer, better known by the pen name Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri and brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, 'Mark Twain' was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym. He often uses exaggerated ways to show his irony.Mark Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his life, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and Europeanroyalty. For I love the One Million Pounds Note best, I would introduce it to you.Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kind of “free lunch” strikes the poor and honest young man Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers (Roderick & Oliver)。

The lottery 中英文版复习课程

T h e l o t t e r y中英文版Recently, I've got a chance to read a shortstory by Shirley Jackson named The Lottery. Shirley Jackson(Dec 14, 1916 - Aug 8, 1965) was an American author and published this shortstory in 1948.Here is the story. I hope that you can enjoy it with a cup of your favorite tea.The LotteryThe morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 2th. but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play. and their talkwas still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"--eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys. and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.Soon the men began to gather. surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather thanlaughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand andran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club, the Halloween program--by Mr. Summers. who had time and energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him. because he had no children and his wife was a scold. When he arrived in the square,carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he waved and called."Little late today, folks." The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three- legged stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. Summers set the black box down on it. The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool. and when Mr. Summers said, "Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?" there was a hesitation before two men. Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter. came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers stirred up thepapers inside it.The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born. Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box. There was a story that the present box had been made with some pieces of the box that had preceded it, the one that had been constructed when the first people settled down to make a village here. Every year, after the lottery, Mr. Summers began talking again about a new box, but every year the subject was allowed to fade off without anything's being done. The black box grew shabbier each year: by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some placesfaded or stained.Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter, held the black box securely on the stool until Mr. Summers had stirred the papers thoroughly with his hand. Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations. Chips ofwood, Mr. Summers had argued. had been all very well when the village was tiny, but now that the population was more than three hundred and likely to keep on growing, it was necessary to use something that would fit more easily into he black box. The night before the lottery, Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves made up the slips of paper and put them in the box, and it was then taken to the safe of Mr. Summers' coal company and locked up until Mr. Summers was ready to take it to the square next morning. The rest of the year, the box was put way, sometimes one place, sometimes another; it had spent one year in Mr. Graves's barn and another year underfoot in the post office. and sometimes it was set on a shelf in the Martin grocery and left there.There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open. There were the lists to make up--of heads of families. heads of households in each family. members of each household in each family. There was the proper swearing-in of Mr. Summers by the postmaster, as the official of the lottery; at one time, some people remembered, there had been a recital of some sort, performed by the official of the lottery, a perfunctory.tuneless chant that had been rattled off duly each year;some people believed that the official of the lottery used to stand just so when he said or sang it, others believed that he was supposed to walk among the people, but years and years ago this p3rt of the ritual had been allowed to lapse. There had been, also, a ritual salute, which the official of the lottery had had to use in addressing each person who came up to draw from the box, but this also had changed with time, until now it was felt necessary only for the official to speak to each person approaching. Mr. Summers was very good at all this; in his clean white shirt and blue jeans. with one hand resting carelessly on the black box. he seemed very proper and important as he talked interminably to Mr.Graves and the Martins.Just as Mr. Summers finally left off talking and turned to the assembled villagers, Mrs. Hutchinson came hurriedly along the path to the square, her sweater thrown over hershoulders, and slid into place in the back of the crowd. "Clean forgot what day it was," she said to Mrs. Delacroix, who stood next to her, and they both laughed softly. "Thought my old man was out back stacking wood," Mrs. Hutchinson went on. "and then I looked out the window and the kids was gone, and then I remembered it was thetwenty-seventh and came a-running." She dried her hands on her apron, and Mrs. Delacroix said, "You're in time, though. They're still talking away up there."Mrs. Hutchinson craned her neck to see through the crowd and found her husband and children standing near the front.She tapped Mrs. Delacroix on the arm as a farewell and began to make her way through the crowd. The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said. in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, "Here comes your, Missus, Hutchinson," and "Bill, she made it after all." Mrs. Hutchinson reached her husband, and Mr. Summers, who had been waiting, said cheerfully."Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie." Mrs. Hutchinson said. grinning, "Wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you. Joe?," and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after Mrs. Hutchinson's arrival. "Well, now." Mr. Summers said soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so's we can go back to work.Anybody ain't here?""Dunbar." several people said. "Dunbar. Dunbar."Mr. Summers consulted his list. "Clyde Dunbar." he said. "That's right. He's broke his leg, hasn't he? Who's drawingfor him?""Me. I guess," a woman said. and Mr. Summers turned to look at her. "Wife draws for her husband." Mr. Summers said. "Don't you have a grown boy to do it for you, Janey?"Although Mr. Summers and everyone else in the village knew the answer perfectly well, it was the business of the official of the lottery to ask such questions formally. Mr. Summers waited with an expression of polite interest whileMrs. Dunbar answered."Horace's not but sixteen vet." Mrs. Dunbar said regretfully."Guess I gotta fill in for the old man this year." "Right." Sr. Summers said. He made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, "Watson boy drawing thisyear?"A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. "Here," he said. "I mdrawing for my mother and me." He blinked his eyesnervously and ducked his head as several voices in thecrowd said thin#s like "Good fellow, lack." and "Glad to see your mother's got a man to do it." "Well," Mr. Summers said, "guess that's everyone. Old ManWarner make it?""Here," a voice said. and Mr. Summers nodded.A sudden hush fell on the crowd as Mr. Summers cleared his throat and looked at the list. "All ready?" he called. "Now, I'll read the names--heads of families first--and the men come up and take a paper out of the box. Keep the paper folded in your hand without looking at it until everyone hashad a turn. Everything clear?"The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions: most of them were quiet. wetting their lips. not looking around. Then Mr. Summers raised one hand high and said, "Adams." A man disengaged himself from the crowd and came forward. "Hi. Steve." Mr. Summers said. and Mr. Adams said. "Hi. Joe." They grinned at one another humorlessly and nervously. Then Mr. Adams reached into the black box and took out a folded paper. He held it firmly by one corner as he turned and went hastilyback to his place in the crowd. where he stood a little apart from his family. not looking down at his hand."Allen." Mr. Summers said. "Anderson.... Bentham.""Seems like there's no time at all between lotteries any more." Mrs. Delacroix said to Mrs. Graves in the back row."Seems like we got through with the last one only lastweek.""Time sure goes fast.-- Mrs. Graves said."Clark.... Delacroix""There goes my old man." Mrs. Delacroix said. She held her breath while her husband went forward. "Dunbar," Mr. Summers said, and Mrs. Dunbar went steadily to the box while one of the women said. "Go on. Janey," and another said, "There she goes.""We're next." Mrs. Graves said. She watched while Mr. Graves came around from the side of the box, greeted Mr. Summers gravely and selected a slip of paper from the box. By now, all through the crowd there were men holding the small folded papers in their large hand. turning them overand over nervously Mrs. Dunbar and her two sons stood together, Mrs. Dunbar holding the slip of paper."Harburt.... Hutchinson.""Get up there, Bill," Mrs. Hutchinson said. and the peoplenear her laughed."Jones.""They do say," Mr. Adams said to Old Man Warner, who stood next to him, "that over in the north village they'retalking of giving up the lottery."Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live hat way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery," he added petulantly. "Bad enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody.""Some places have already quit lotteries." Mrs. Adams said."Nothing but trouble in that," Old Man Warner said stoutly."Pack of young fools.""Martin." And Bobby Martin watched his father go forward."Overdyke.... Percy.""I wish they'd hurry," Mrs. Dunbar said to her older son. "Iwish they'd hurry.""They're almost through," her son said."You get ready to run tell Dad," Mrs. Dunbar said. Mr. Summers called his own name and then stepped forward precisely and selected a slip from the box. Then he called,"Warner.""Seventy-seventh year I been in the lottery," Old ManWarner said as he went through the crowd. "Seventy-seventh time.""Watson" The tall boy came awkwardly through the crowd. Someone said, "Don't be nervous, Jack," and Mr. Summerssaid, "Take your time, son.""Zanini."After that, there was a long pause, a breathless pause, until Mr. Summers. holding his slip of paper in the air, said, "All right, fellows." For a minute, no one moved, and then all the slips of paper were opened. Suddenly, all the women began to speak at once, saving. "Who is it?," "Who's got it?," "Is it the Dunbars?," "Is it the Watsons?" Then the voices began to say, "It's Hutchinson. It's Bill," "Bill Hutchinson's got it.""Go tell your father," Mrs. Dunbar said to her older son. People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at the paper in his hand. Suddenly. Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers. "You didn't give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!""Be a good sport, Tessie." Mrs. Delacroix called, and Mrs.Graves said, "All of us took the same chance.""Shut up, Tessie," Bill Hutchinson said."Well, everyone," Mr. Summers said, "that was done pretty fast, and now we've got to be hurrying a little more to get done in time." He consulted his next list. "Bill," he said, "youdraw for the Hutchinson family. You got any otherhouseholds in the Hutchinsons?""There's Don and Eva," Mrs. Hutchinson yelled. "Make themtake their chance!""Daughters draw with their husbands' families, Tessie," Mr. Summers said gently. "You know that as well as anyoneelse.""It wasn't fair," Tessie said."I guess not, Joe." Bill Hutchinson said regretfully. "My daughter draws with her husband's family; that's only fair.And I've got no other family except the kids." "Then, as far as drawing for families is concerned, it's you," Mr. Summers said in explanation, "and as far as drawing for households is concerned, that's you, too. Right?""Right," Bill Hutchinson said."How many kids, Bill?" Mr. Summers asked formally."Three," Bill Hutchinson said."There's Bill, Jr., and Nancy, and little Dave. And Tessie andme.""All right, then," Mr. Summers said. "Harry, you got theirtickets back?"Mr. Graves nodded and held up the slips of paper. "Put them in the box, then," Mr. Summers directed. "Take Bill's andput it in.""I think we ought to start over," Mrs. Hutchinson said, as quietly as she could. "I tell you it wasn't fair. You didn't give him time enough to choose. Everybody saw that." Mr. Graves had selected the five slips and put them in the box. and he dropped all the papers but those onto the ground. where the breeze caught them and lifted them off."Listen, everybody," Mrs. Hutchinson was saying to thepeople around her."Ready, Bill?" Mr. Summers asked. and Bill Hutchinson, with one quick glance around at his wife and children. nodded. "Remember," Mr. Summers said. "take the slips and keep them folded until each person has taken one. Harry, youhelp little Dave." Mr. Graves took the hand of the little boy, who came willingly with him up to the box. "Take a paper out of the box, Davy." Mr. Summers said. Davy put his hand into the box and laughed. "Take just one paper." Mr. Summers said. "Harry, you hold it for him." Mr. Graves took the child's hand and removed the folded paper from the tight fist and held it while little Dave stood next to him andlooked up at him wonderingly."Nancy next," Mr. Summers said. Nancy was twelve, and her school friends breathed heavily as she went forward switching her skirt, and took a slip daintily from the box "Bill, Jr.," Mr. Summers said, and Billy, his face red and his feet overlarge, near knocked the box over as he got a paper out. "Tessie," Mr. Summers said. She hesitated for a minute, looking around defiantly. and then set her lips and went up to the box. She snatched a paper out and held it behind her. "Bill," Mr. Summers said, and Bill Hutchinson reached into the box and felt around, bringing his hand out at last withthe slip of paper in it.The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, "I hope it's not Nancy," and the sound of the whisper reached the edges ofthe crowd."It's not the way it used to be." Old Man Warner said clearly."People ain't the way they used to be.""All right," Mr. Summers said. "Open the papers. Harry, youopen little Dave's."Mr. Graves opened the slip of paper and there was a general sigh through the crowd as he held it up and everyone could see that it was blank. Nancy and Bill. Jr.. opened theirs at the same time. and both beamed and laughed. turning around to the crowd and holding their slips of paper abovetheir heads."Tessie," Mr. Summers said. There was a pause, and then Mr. Summers looked at Bill Hutchinson, and Bill unfolded his paper and showed it. It was blank."It's Tessie," Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed."Show us her paper. Bill."Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd."All right, folks." Mr. Summers said. "Let's finish quickly." Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on," she said. "Hurry up."Mr. Dunbar had small stones in both hands, and she said.gasping for breath. "I can't run at all. You'll have to goahead and I'll catch up with you."The children had stones already. And someone gave littleDavy Hutchinson few pebbles.Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagersmoved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, "Come on, come on, everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him."It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, andthen they were upon her.译文如下：摸彩by SHIRLEY JACKSON雪莱·杰克森六月27日的早晨晴朗无云，有着盛夏时节新鲜的温暖；花儿开得繁茂，草儿长得绿油油。

thelottery读后感

thelottery读后感《thelottery读后感》这是优秀的读后感文章，希望可以对您的学习工作中带来帮助！1、thelottery读后感篇一：the lottery读后感昨天查资料时看到有篇文章这样说Jackson写的这篇故事：美国大多数人应该都知道这篇文章，即使不知道是谁写的，也应该知道“ The Lottery（摸彩）”这个故事。

我感觉，这篇《 The Lottery（摸彩）》的性质，应该和《皇帝的新装》差不多吧。

看完那篇《 The Lottery》之后，心里嗟吁不已。

那个小镇有个上百年来一直沿袭着的传统，每年六月里的一天，总会把小镇上的人们聚集在一起，摸彩。

随着故事散漫地进展，我也散漫地读着。

天气如何地好，女孩子们如何地聚在一起聊些无聊的话，男孩子们如何地搞闹追逐着玩石块。

大人们如何有一句没一句地拉家常，等着摸彩。

镇长如何地捧了大盒子过来，如何准备工作都做好了。

然后怎样一个人一个人地被叫上去摸彩。

故事就这么有一搭没一搭地进展着。

等所有人都摸了彩以后，镇长才让大家一起打开摸到的纸片。

我呢，仍是不在意地读着。

直到读到结尾，抽到彩的那人原来是要被全村人用石头打死。

于是从刚刚散漫的故事进展中我忽地一惊，吓了一跳。

心里嗟吁不已。

摸彩是这个镇上人上百年来的习俗，每年都要摸彩摸出一个人来，然后其余的人用石块将他打死。

人们在摸彩前后及扔石块时竟没有一点哀痛，只是忙忙碌碌地想快快打完了收工，赶着回家继续各自没干完的活儿。

而作为局外人，读完之后只觉的哭笑不得，好不可思议！因为这个传统本身就是如此地没道理，如此地荒谬，也如此地恶心。

我开始时不喜欢这个故事，可后来越想便越感受到它寓意的丰蕴醇厚。

事实自然是如此，坚持着一个传统的人自然是觉的自己所坚持的传统是理所当然的。

我们也是如此。

So he went back to the little village.The things there was worse than before, one of the two boys he drew picture for was dead, Lotte was married .He thought thatthe whole world was filled with bad things. He became desperate of life. Several days before Christmas, he went to Lotte’s place and hugged and kissed her deeply after reading a book. Two days later, after he ended his suicide note to Lotte ,midnight came, he shot himself with his sorrows.After reading this novel,I felt sorry about Werther .Did Werther have to die? Was Werther must be so upset? Can’t he just say out his love to Lotte?Only when a man goes back to the beginning ,will he unhappily turned to admit he was lost. Werther was lost in the world of love, he couldn’t go out, he couldn’t stop loving Lotte. He didn’t know to find another road ,he indulged himself in his sorrows. Nobody can help him, nobody can save him.He should learn how to control himself, he should learn how to get out of the upset feelings and think more about the much better things in th e world. But he didn’t ,so we should learn the things and control ourselves. We admire his love, but we can’t admire his suicide. He killed himself ,and also killed his love. After the death, his love came to be a history, it never can came ture. Love should be much stronger, and so do our hearts. When we know our love can’t be accepted ,we should say ”congratulations and good luck” to the one we love, because to love is not to make her yours but to make her feel happy. some says love makes people stupid, maybe Werther is the one he describes, but we shouldn’t be like that. We should keep cool and calm with love, then we can make the best choice, and then we’ll never say regret to ourselves.Werther had love , and we know love is the most amazing thing in the whole world ,but why didn’t dare to say his love out ?The cause is the feudal thought, the people at the timecouldn’t put up with his love to an engaged woman. Besides this, why he was looked down by the nobility and the gentry ？The cause is also the feudal thought, so the feudal thought is the killer in some sense. We should fight against the feudal thought like Goethe .Werther was so kind that he didn’t want to break up the relationship between Lotte and his fiance. He always thought about the others, like the boys he ever drew pictures for, like Lotte. But then he found there is barely anybody care about him, he felt this world was full of crulty. No one could really heart and soul thought of him. His love to others was useless. The was a crul and cool world. He felt alone and lonely ,he couldn’t find some one he could depend on including Lotte—the one he loved most. Hopelessness and helplessness came to his mind ,and then death, suicide.The before , now ,the future are the forever ever topics we are talking about. Which one should we focus on mostly? Werther concentrate on the former days, he always thought about the upset and unhappy things once and again. He found more sorrows from one. And then more and more sorrows came up, these sorrows made him kill himself. So we should think more about the nowadays time and the future, especially the future, we can find more hope than hopelessness from the future. The lost days are just gone, we have no opportunity to think about them.At last, I think Werther is a kind-hearted, loving, treasonous man, he pursues individual liberation, he hopes to get love and happiness, he loves life ,he loves adolescence. But because of his own character and the cool world he lives in, he can’t get what he deserves to get, what he has got is just loneliness,hopelessness, helplessness, sorrows and at last death. So he is also a poor and pitiful one. I often feels sorry for him.The novel is not a long one, nor a hardly understood one. Goethe use the least ,best ,and also simplest words to make the best and most famous novel, what he gave us is more than Werther’s sorrows, but also the thoughts the book brought to us. We should be grateful to him and his book and we should also be grateful to the world we live in .Besides this ,we’d better think more about the future instead of the lost days. Always remember the experience of Werther, then we may be more sane to make the best choice in our own lives. And so we can avoid hurting ourselves or the people we love. We will make the world to be a better one.。
