篇一：老人与海读后感英文

在这部小说中，我非常佩服老渔夫的意志，老渔夫让我懂得了一个人必需要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。小说通过人与自然的斗争，表达了人要勇敢地面对失败。桑提亚哥在同象征厄运的鲨鱼的斗争中虽然失败了，但他并没有在厄运面前屈服，认为人虽可以暂时战败，但人的精神和意志是永远也打不垮的。“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他”，他的这句话在我心中留下了深刻的印象。小说在艺术上具有很高的概括性、寓言性和象征性。运用反衬法、内心独白来刻画人物性格。

The novel told a story about how the old fisherman Santiago struggled with the sea. Santiago gained a huge fish called Marlin after having drifted in the sea for 84 days. It was a fish that is 2 feet longer than the boat and that had dragged his boat for two days before being stabbed to death. It seemed that the old man wasn’t so successful, because he encountered a shark, struggled with the serious environments, even the only spoil——Marlin just left a skeleton. However, the most important thing is that Santiago had never given up for a moment.

In this novel, I am deeply impressed by his persevering.

I admire the old fisherman for his steel-like mind and

persistence. I think there’s a real young man inside him, although he is at an old age and no longer goes back to his youth. From the strong comparison between the old look and the young heart, we can easily find that it is the positive firm spirits that make us hold our hopes and keep trying all the time and finally guide the roads towards success.

Through the vivid description about the struggle between human and nature, Hemingway expresses his opinion that the courage inside human beings can help us face any failure and overcome any difficulty. In the book, the hero Santiago was beat by the shark, which we regard as a symbol of doom, but he chose to struggle with the fortune instead of losing faith in his life. Just the same as the hero Santiago, all of us will meet with various kinds of difficulties in our daily life, which is a rule of human’s fate. So how can we adjust our attitudes toward these and what should we do with so many problems? The old fisherman tell us the truth ——“Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not be defeated”.

小说描写的是一个老渔夫桑地亚哥，他是一位孤独，而又英勇无畏、热爱生活、渴望胜利的老人。小说一开始，就奠定了其失败与孤独的命运基调——“他是个独自在湾流中一

条平底小帆船上钓鱼的老人，这一回已去了八十四天，没逮上一条鱼”，“倒霉到了极点”。他的打了补丁的船帆，“像是一面标志着永远失败的旗子”。他曾有妻子，但已去世的妻子只成了画像，映照着他的孤独。他也有过年轻时的辉煌，并曾在角力中荣获过人人羡慕的“冠军”。但是现在，他却成了一面古老破败、伤痕累累的旗。“他不再梦见风暴，不再梦见女人，不再梦见伟迹，不再梦见大鱼，不再梦见搏斗，不再梦见角力，不再梦见他的老婆”。仿佛他已一无所有。在一次单身出海打鱼时，一条大鱼上了钩，却拉不上来。老渔夫同鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知很难取胜，但仍不放弃。他充分利用自己捕鱼的技巧，慢慢浪费大鱼的体力，当鱼不再够力气拉着渔船向前时，它开始绕着船

转，它越游越近，最后被渔夫用渔叉一下刺死了。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，与一条又一条的鲨鱼搏斗，但是无奈武器都被鲨鱼破坏掉，鱼被吃掉了一大半，只剩下鱼头和鱼骨，渔夫此时亦筋疲力尽，无力继续保护鱼了，但他还是把残骸带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。最后，小说以一个少年看到老渔夫在度量足有十八英尺长的大马林鱼，再次描写了这条鱼的巨大，说明老渔夫所克服的困难之大，非比寻常。仔细想想，人生中谁没有失败过，最重要的是在失败过后重新勇敢的站起来，积极的去面对，去寻找失败的根本原因，并改正。“人生能有几回搏”，我们要全力以赴，以全心的面貌
