寂静的春天英语读后感作文

寂静的春天英语读后感作文There was a strange stillness. The birds, for examplewhere had they gone? The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was spring without voices. On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The roadsides, once so attractive, were now lined with browned and withered vegetation as though swept by fire. These, too, were silent, deserted by all living things. Even the streams were now lifeless.This is a strange scene described by Rachel Carson, who is regarded as the mother of modern environmental protection movement。

Silent Spring is her representative work which lighted the fire of environmental protection in America and the whole world. Before 1960s, no books or magazines talked about things like environment and ecosystem. Such a phenomenon means that environmental protection had not xxe to people’s mind and the social consciousness. Indeed, the main opinion in human society from the very past about natureis to set war against or conquer it. In fact, many of human’s progresses are made on the base of such opinion. Rachel Carson was the first person who doubted the correctness of the belief and brought the topic under focus.In Silent Spring, Carson described a miserable village which was dying under the using of DDT. The village used to be prosperous and beautiful. In spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxed barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the fall mornings. She thought that with the using of variety kinds of pesticide, especially DDTs, the village suffered enormous and irreversible damage and gradually withered and died. Soon it became just like the one described in the beginning. From her fine and smooth describing, I can even feel the groan of the town. Moreover Carson also sharply pointed out that the deep-seated cause for the environmental problem is the human’s arrogance and ignorance. So she asked peopleto correct the attitude toward the nature and reconsidered the developing path of human being.Carson thought that because of the antibody and differentiation, pesticides would never be xxpletely useful. On the contrary, those more and more poisonous medicines, because of the enrichment effect, would accumulate in humans’ body. It’s quite sarcastic that we hurt ourselves much badly while hurting the others. Then she analyzed many poisonous xxponents in pesticides. Those are all unfamiliar names except DDT, such as chlordane, chloronaphthalene, xxpound 497, etc.Those things really make me feel scared. We are on the top of the food chain, and it is such a perfect and fragile system. We human beings are just part of it and we depend on all of the creatures who stay on the lower positions. It is so hard and ridiculous to try to match the nature. Only in the state does man have a rational existence. Every species have their value to be on this world. Then no one knows what would happened if we force them to disappear. For example, let’s imagine the food chain as a meticulously made castle built by billions of little blocks and we human beings are the top one.There might be several tiny blocks on the bottom which you think is useless and dispensable. But what would happen if we take them away? Perhaps nothing happened, and perhaps the whole castle ruined.Destruction is always much easier than recovery, not counting those incurable ones. Humans always think that we are much cleverer than the other animals, so we bexxe more and more conceited and firmly believe that we are the king. We didn’t see that the nature is so magical and knows how to revenge. The pay back is much more violent and cruel. We need balance and order. The nature has its own rule. Our aim is to use it and live in harmony with it. The ecosystem is so delicate that even a tiny disturbance could lead an unexpected consequence, just like the butterfly effect.At the last chapter, some scientists came up with other ways to solve the pest problem----biotic control. There is now a bly running tide of interest in chemical sterility. Those sterile insects are released and mate the normal ones so that they won’t have any larva and get extinct gradually. This solution seems to be reasonable and helpful, but thinking about it carefully,you’ll find that it is just another way to ruin the food chain castle. Not only spring, but also summer and autumn would be still and silent in the future.It is lucky that Rachel still kept her mind clear. She didn’t agree with the way of conquering the nature. At the very end of the book, she wrote, The ‘control of nature’ is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man. This sentence can be regarded as the book’s theme topic which is widely quoted in all kinds of articles about environmental protection.Carson is a great woman and fighter. When writing the book, she was suffering from huge pain of the operation for mammary cancer. After the book was published, the widely affect brought her not honor and fortune, but fierce attack from the chemical estate. She died only one year after the book’s publishing. On the spring of 1964, the great woman passed away, but Silent Spring made her voice never silent.The 20st century was a time that technology and economy developed rapidly, especially the 40 yearsafter Silent Spring was published.

We Have Only One Earth------Book report of Silent Spring Man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitable a war against himself.-----Rachel Carson If we scan those newspapers or books written by 1960s, we will find it difficult to find something about environmental protection. In other words, environmental protection was not a meaningful concept in social cognition and was not valued in academic experiments at that time. As a matter of fact, tho se slogans such as “conquer nature” were prevalent in the world, which meant that nature was only the object to be controlled not to be protected or to live with in peace. The concept may derive from primitive society when people did not have sufficient materials to exist in harsh environment, and all of their wishes were to conquer nature and develop the economy regardless of the possible outcomes derived from environmental problems. Rachel Carson may be the first person to doubt the correctness of the idea which had existed in human society for thousands of years.Silent spring is a book which leads to a heated discussion about environmental protection. Even those people who disgust Rachel Carson also have to acknowledge that Rachel Carson did contribute a lot in environment protection promoting. In her book, she described a world without birds, bees or butterflies because of the use of pesticides. It was she, a weak woman with mammary cancer, woke nearly each person to concern about the future of the earth. After that, thousands of organizations aim to protect environment were founded, The 1st United Nations Conference on the human environment was convened in 1972, on which, a declaration was signed to promote environment protection.The overriding theme of Silent Spring is the powerful—and often negative—effect humans have on the natural world. Carson's main argument is that pesticides have detrimental effects on the environment. In Silent Spring, Carson described a miserable village which was dying under the using of DDT. The village used to be prosperous andbeautiful. “I n spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxed barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidde n in the mists of the fall mornings.”[1]However, with the use of pesticides, especially DDT, the village suffered enormous and irreversible damage and gradually withered and died. The use of DDT in other areas has also had major unanticipated affects since it is persistent and poisonous to many forms of life. Pesticides would never be completely useful since targeted pests may develop resistance to pesticides and weakened ecosystems fall prey to unanticipated invasive species. On the contrary, those more and more poisonous medicines, because of the enrichment effect, would accumulate in humans’ body.After the discussion of the pesticides, she start to discuss the importance of animals, especially wildlife. “Every species have their value to be on this worl d. Then no one knows what would happened if we force them to disappear… Only in the state does man have a rational existence…There might be several tiny blocks on the bottom, which you think is useless and dispensable. But what would happen if we take them away? Perhaps nothing happened, and perhaps the whole castle ruined” [2] we are on the top of the food chain, and it is such a perfect and fragile system, and we are just a small part of it and we depend on all of the creatures who stay on the lower posit ions. ”Not One Less” will be appropriate in describing the nature.If Rachel Carson had stopped here, Silent Spring would only have to be a successful science reading. But after that, she pointed out that the cause for the environmental problem is the huma n’s arrogance and ignorance. So she asked people to correct the attitude toward the nature and reconsidered the developing path of human being. In the primitive society, even though people did not have the awareness to protect the environment, their ability to transform the nature was so weak that the nature would recover soon. However, with the development of science and technology, people have much bigger ability to confront the nature, some people even declared that people have “conquered” nature. But they forget that we are only a small part of nature, conquering nature is a way to suicide. Nature does not have sufficient ability to recover from thedestruction, so it will take revenge on humans, all of its need is time. So if we do not change, we will be never forgiven by next generation.In my opinion, nature is an integral nature. We should promote our knowledge of relation of chemical and ecology. Before we use chemicals, we should know clearly about their effect on environment, it is necessary to bring a healthy caution to the use of chemicals. An ignoring of the environment protection has brought harm to people in the past and could cause unprecedented harm in the future.After all, we have only one earth. Protect it, not only for ourselves, but for future generations as well.[1][2] Source: “Silent Spring” Rachel Carson 1962.。

《寂静的春天》的读后感英文

《寂静的春天》的读后感英文Silent Spring is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book that explores the impacts of human activities on the environment. Written by Rachel Carson, this book provides a critical analysis of the use of pesticides and chemicals and its impact on wildlife, human health, and the environment.The book is both informative and engaging, as it delves into the history of pesticide use and how it has become an integral part of modern agriculture. The author highlights the devastating effects of chemicals, such as DDT, on wildlife populations and how these chemicals have seeped into the food chain, affecting humans as well. The book is a sobering reminder that our actions have consequences not just for ourselves, but for the delicate balance of the natural world.One of the most striking aspects of the book is Carson's ability to weave together poetry and science. The reader is transported to the wilderness, where the beauty and fragility of the environment are brought to life. Carson's writing is lyrical and evocative, but never sentimental. Her writing is full of hope and the belief that we can turn things around if we act before it's too late.Silent Spring is a call to action, urging readers to take responsibility for their impact on the environment. Carson argues that we must acknowledge the dangers of our actions and make changes if we want a healthy and sustainable future. Her message is clear: we are responsible for the world we live in, and we have the power to change it.In many ways, the themes Carson explores in Silent Spring are still relevant today. The book's warnings about the dangers of chemical pesticide use are still relevant, and the need for sustainable practices in agriculture is even more pressing. The book's message of personal responsibility is also more urgent than ever.In conclusion, Silent Spring is a masterpiece of environmental literature that is both informative and inspiring. Rachel Carson's writing is powerful and poetic, and her message is one that we should all take to heart.

The book is often credited with influencing the policies of the US government, leading to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other environmental regulations.Reading Silent Spring today, it is staggering to see how prescient Carson's warnings were. The world has since witnessed the devastating consequences of human-made disasters like oil spills, deforestation, and the extinction of numerous species. The warnings from Silent Spring are even more critical now as we face the effects of climate change.Carson's work has also inspired generations of scientists and environmental activists. She showed that one person's message can make a difference, and that individuals have the power to effect change. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations of eco-warriors who strive to protect and preserve the natural world.The book is a reminder that we are all connected, and our actions have far-reaching consequences. It compels us to take a hard look at our lifestyles and to make changes to protect the health of the planet. The book has become more than just an environmental document, it is a symbol of hope and a call to action.In conclusion, Silent Spring is a masterpiece of environmental literature that has stood the test of time.

寂静的春天读后感作文评语

寂静的春天读后感作文评语英文回答:After reading "The Silent Spring," I was deeply moved by the powerful message it conveys about the destructive impact of human activities on the environment.

寂静的春天英文读后感

寂静的春天英文读后感寂静的春天英文读后感“There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example;where had they gone?”“The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was spring without voices.”“On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched.”“The roadsides, once so attractive, were now lined with browned and withered vegetation as though swept by fire. These, too, were silent, deserted by all living things. Even the streams were now lifeless.”This is a strange scene described by Rachel Carson, who is regarded as “the mother of modern environmental protection movement”。

Silent Spring is her representative work which lighted the fire of environmental protection in America and the whole world. Before 1960s, no books or magazines talked about things like environment and ecosystem. Such a phenomenon means that environmental protection had not come to people’s mind and the social consciousness. Indeed, the main opinion in human society from the very pastabout nature is to “set war against”or “conquer”it. In fact, many of human’s progresses are made on the base of such opinion. Rachel Carson was the first person who doubted the correctness of the belief and brought the topic under focus.In Silent Spring, Carson described a miserable village which was dying under the using of DDT. The village used to be prosperous and beautiful. “In spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxed barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the fall mornings.”She thought that with the using of variety kinds of pesticide, especially DDTs, the village suffered enormous and irreversible damage and gradually withered and died. Soon it became just like the one described in the beginning. From her fine and smooth describing, I can even feel the groan of the town. Moreover Carson also sharply pointed out that the deep-seated cause for the environmental problem is the human’s arrogance and ignorance. So she asked people to correct the attitude toward the nature and reconsidered the developing path of human being.Carson thought that because of the antibody and differentiation, pesticides would never be completely useful. On the contrary, those more and more poisonous medicines, because of the enrichment effect, would accumulate in humans’ body. It’s quite sarcastic that we hurt ourselves much badly while hurting the others. Then she analyzed many poisonous components in pesticides. Those are all unfamiliar names except DDT, such as chlordane, chloronaphthalene, compound 497, etc.Those things really make me feel scared. We are on the top of the food chain, and it is such a perfect and fragile system. We human beings are just part of it and we depend on all of the creatures who stay on the lower positions. It is so hard and ridiculous to try to match the nature. ”Only in the state does man have a rational existence.”Every species have their value to be on this world. Then no one knows what would happened if we force them to disappear. For example, let’s imagine the food chain as a meticulously made castle built by billions of little blocks and we human beings are the top one. There might be several tiny blocks on the bottom which you think is useless and dispensable. But what would happen if we take them away? Perhaps nothing happened, andperhaps the whole castle ruined.Destruction is always much easier than recovery, not counting those incurable ones. Humans always think that we are much cleverer than the other animals, so we become more and more conceited and firmly believe that we are the king. We didn’t see that the nature is so magical and knows how to revenge. The pay back is much more violent and cruel. We need balance and order. The nature has its own rule. Our aim is to use it and live in harmony with it. The ecosystem is so delicate that even a tiny disturbance could lead an unexpected consequence, just like the butterfly effect.At the last chapter, some scientists came up with other ways to solve the pest problem----biotic control. There is now a strongly running tide of interest in chemical sterility. Those sterile insects are released and mate the normal ones so that they won’t have any larva and get extinct gradually. This “solution”seems to be reasonable and helpful, but thinking about it carefully, you’ll find that it is just another way to ruin the food chain castle. Not only spring, but also summer and autumn would be still and silent in the future.It is lucky that Rachel still kept her mind clear. Shedidn’t agree with the way of conquering the nature. At the very end of the book, she wrote, “The ‘control of nature’ is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man.”This sentence can be regarded as the book’s theme topic which is widely quoted in all kinds of articles about environmental protection.Carson is a great woman and fighter. When writing the book, she was suffering from huge pain of the operation for mammary cancer. After the book was published, the widely affect brought her not honor and fortune, but fierce attack from the chemical estate. She died only one year after the book’s publishing. On the spring of 1964, the great woman passed away, but Silent Spring made her voice never silent.The 20st century was a time that technology and economy developed rapidly, especially the 40 years after Silent Spring was published. But every spring, when flowers bloom, trees sprout, and water begins to flow, we used to recall a woman and her enduring works. We opened the window, and wonder if the spring is silent today, if it will be silent tomorrow.为人民服务读后感格林童话读后感悲惨世界读后感。

寂静的春天小学生读后感

寂静的春天小学生读后感Reflections on "Silent Spring" by a Primary School StudentAs a primary school student, reading "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson was an eye-opening experience. The book, first published in 1962, warned about the dangers of uncontrolled use of pesticides and their harmful effects on the environment and wildlife. What struck me the most was the author's passion and concern for nature, which she presented in a clear and engaging manner.The book described how pesticides, once considered as miracle cures for all our agricultural problems, were actually causing more harm than good. They were poisoning the soil, water, and air, and killing off beneficial insects along with the pests they were supposed to control. This led to a spiral of ecological disasters, affecting not just wildlife but also human beings. What I found particularly remarkable was how Rachel Carson was able to convey such complex scientific ideas in a simple and understandable language. She used real-life examples and stories to illustrate her points, making it easy for even a young reader like me to grasp the severity of the situation.Reading "Silent Spring" made me realize the importance of protecting our environment. It taught me that every small action we take, whether it's reducing the use of plastic or planting a tree, can make a difference. The book also inspired me to be more aware of the products I use and the impact they have on the world.In conclusion, "Silent Spring" is not just a book about pesticides; it's a call to action for all of us to protect our planet. As a primary school student, I feel a sense of responsibility to do my part in this effort. After all, as Rachel Carson once wrote, "The first obligation of every citizen is to question authority."小学生读《寂静的春天》有感作为一名小学生,阅读蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》是一次令人大开眼界的经历。

silent spring读后感英文

silent spring读后感英文

silent spring读后感英文Silent Spring: A Profound Reflection on the Environmental CrisisIn the mid-20th century, the world was experiencing a period of rapid industrialization and technological advancement. The promise of progress and the pursuit of economic growth had led to the widespread use of synthetic pesticides and other chemicals, often without a full understanding of their long-term consequences. It was in this context that Rachel Carson's groundbreaking book, "Silent Spring," emerged as a clarion call for environmental awareness and action."Silent Spring" was a profound and impactful work that shook the foundations of the chemical industry and challenged the prevailing attitudes towards the natural world. Carson's meticulous research and eloquent prose painted a disturbing picture of the widespread contamination of the environment by pesticides, and the devastating impact this was having on wildlife, ecosystems, and even human health.At the heart of Carson's message was a fundamental question: at what cost was the pursuit of progress and economic growth beingachieved? She argued that the unchecked use of synthetic pesticides was not only damaging the delicate balance of nature but also posing a serious threat to the very communities that these chemicals were intended to protect.One of the most powerful aspects of "Silent Spring" was its ability to connect the dots between the seemingly disparate issues of environmental degradation, public health, and the responsibility of individuals and institutions. Carson's writing was not just a dry recitation of scientific facts but a rallying cry for a new way of thinking about the relationship between humanity and the natural world.The book's title, "Silent Spring," was a haunting metaphor that captured the devastating impact of pesticides on bird populations. Carson vividly described how the once-vibrant soundscape of nature had been reduced to a deafening silence, as entire species were wiped out by the indiscriminate use of these chemicals.But "Silent Spring" was not just a lament for the loss of nature's beauty and diversity; it was a call to action. Carson urged readers to question the prevailing assumptions about the role of technology and industry in shaping the modern world, and to consider the long-term consequences of their actions.In the decades since its publication, "Silent Spring" has become a seminal work in the environmental movement, inspiring generations of activists, policymakers, and scientists to confront the pressing issues of our time. The book's impact has been far-reaching, leading to the banning of certain pesticides, the creation of new environmental regulations, and a growing awareness of the interconnectedness of the natural world.Yet, as we look around us today, it is clear that the battle is far from over. The environmental challenges we face – from climate change to habitat destruction to the ongoing threat of pollution – are as pressing as ever. In this context, the lessons of "Silent Spring" remain as relevant and urgent as they were when the book was first published.As we reflect on the legacy of "Silent Spring," it is important to remember that the work of environmental stewardship is not just the responsibility of governments and corporations, but of each and every one of us. We all have a role to play in shaping the future of our planet, whether it is through our individual choices, our civic engagement, or our collective action.By embracing the spirit of "Silent Spring" – the unwavering commitment to truth, the willingness to challenge the status quo, and the conviction that we can create a more sustainable and justworld – we can honor the legacy of Rachel Carson and continue the fight for a healthier, more vibrant planet.。

《寂静的春天》读后感 英文500字

《寂静的春天》读后感英文500字Reading “Silent Spring” filled me with a sense of sadness and dread. This book exposes the devastating consequences on our planet from the careless use of pesticides and other pollutants. Rachel Carson reveals that we as humans have created this problem, and are now allowing it to continue unabated, rendering future generations unable to enjoy the beauty and abundance of nature.The book documents the consequences of our disregard for the environment, and shows us just how fragile it is. From poisoned water and contaminated soil, to the mass die-offs of birds and other animals, Carson paints a grim picture of what awaits us if we don’t take better care of our planet. She also emphasizes the importance of protecting our wild habitats, and developing more sustainable agricultural practices that respect and preserve the environment.The most shocking aspect of the book, however, is the way people have responded to it. While there was a great upsurge in public awareness and action following its publication, there were also those who vehemently opposed it. The chemical industry in particular pushed for ways to discredit the book and its message, portraying it as unfounded hysteria. This only serves to reinforce the notion that we must be vigilant in protecting our natural world from corporate interests.Ultimately, “Silent Spring” is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect the environment. We may not be able to undo the damage already done, but we can make sure that similar disasters do not happen again by raising our voices, supportinggreen initiatives, and refusing to accept anything less than the best for our planet.。

《寂静的春天》读书报告

《寂静的春天》读书报告

《Silent Spring》读书报告作者简介:蕾切尔·卡逊(Rachel Carson,1907年5月27日—1964年4月14日),生于宾夕法尼亚州泉溪镇,从小爱好文学,10岁时就在儿童刊物上发表作品。

1929年卡逊以优异成绩获得约翰霍布金斯大学动物学硕士学位,其后在马里兰大学教了几年动物学。

1936年卡逊被聘为美国渔业局的海洋生物学家,同时在《巴尔的摩太阳报》兼职撰写有关海洋生物的专题文章。

1962年6月卡逊的醒世之作《寂静的春天》(Silent Spring)开始在《纽约客》摘要连载,同年该书出版,引发了美国以至于全世界的环境保护事业。

她1935年至1952年间供职于美国联邦政府所属的鱼类及野生生物调查所,这使她有机会接触到许多环境问题。

在此期间,她曾写过一些有关海洋生态的着作,如《在海风下》,《海的边缘》和《环绕着我们的海洋》,这些着作使她获得了第一流作家的声誉。

内容简介:《寂静的春天》于1962年在美国问世,该书包括17个章节。

在书中,卡逊主要向我们讲述了化学制剂,特别是杀虫剂对环境的污染问题。

作者称杀虫剂为杀生剂,因为在它杀死害虫的同时,也侵害着居民的健康、动植物的生长、周围的环境。

书中主要介绍了化学药剂包括狄式杀虫剂、对硫磷、七氯和马拉息昂等等。

许多这类化学杀虫剂都属于“持久性有机污染物”,它们的降解速度缓慢,危害持久。

还有一些脂溶性的化学品,比如DDT,能够在动物的脂肪组织中进行富集,即使每次摄入的量很低,时间长了也能累积到很高的浓度。

而且,这些药剂在喷洒时在空气、风的作用下,使受影响的范围不断地扩大;在雨水的作用下,会使药剂溶于水中,随着雨水流入河流或渗透到地下水,水的地表径流使污染的范围越来越大……书中大量列举了在鱼、鸟、蚯蚓等许多的昆虫、动物体内检测到化学药剂的成分,且检测出的含量呈现出放射性的扩大倍数,很难想象长此以往我们周围的环境是怎样的情景?作者在书的结尾处强调,我们必须与其他生物共同分享我们的地球,为了解决这个问题,我们发明了许多新的、富于想象力和创造性的方法;随着这一形势的发展,一个要反复提及的话题是:我们是在与生命——活的群体、它们经受的所有压力和反压力、它们的兴盛与衰败——打交道。
