TheSunAlsoRises_太阳照常升起读后感800字This novel describes a group of American youth living in Europe after World War I, expressing the despair of some young intellectuals after the first World War. The heroine Britt is an Englishman. He lost his family in the war. The hero Jack Barnes is an American journalist who lost her erotic ability due to spinal injuries in the war. Jack and Britt are really in love, but they can't combine. The war has left them traumatized physically and mentally, and they feel confused and weary of their lives. Two men and a group of men and women went to Pamplona, Spain, to take part in the bullfight to pursue spiritual stimulation. In Spain, Britt rejected the bitter pursuit of the Jewish youth Robert Cohen, but was fascinated by the nineteen year old matador Romero. However, after a period of time, the relationship between Britt and his family was very different. She finally came back to Barnes, and although both sides knew that each other would never really be together. The novel also describes an American writer, Robert, who thinks he has a heroic spirit and has a romantic fantasy of his life. He pursued Britt, but Britt did not like him, and felt that his ideas of life were obsolete and vain.Jack lost spinal cord in the first World War and lost his ability. He was a journalist in Paris after World War II, and he fell in love with A Shi, the English lady, Brett. He pursued pleasure and mental stimulation blindly, and kept seducing other men while he was in love with Jack. Cohen, who rejected the bitter pursuit of Cohen, fell in love with the matador, Romero, who was only nineteen years old. However, no matter how bright the toss, Jack always told her she was true to the core, the trick to play, as her listeners each love story, even in a love affair with Romero afterthe failure to rescue her from down, again the unconditional acceptance of her. However, when it comes to love, whatever his unwavering loyalty, he can meet her spiritual desire, he never fell in love with the person you. As a society, he drifted in the life stream. He is a newspaper in the overseas staff, popularity is good, either for work or for a friend, he is normal to fulfill their duties and obligations. But they could not cover up his feeble feelings.At first, there was no understanding of the role Cohen played in the sun as usual. He is not a person should be ignored, first is a Cohen biography, he made clear: at the old schools of Princeton University, was a former university boxing champion - strong, a wealthy Jewish family of innocent people, thick, especially for women or heart of the women were abandoned. Or by the woman in hand. It looks nothing wrong, an ordinary member of the middle class, but no worth write a great deal about. See later found no signs with his book the hero and that decent friends always like the misfits, the barn was good with the bulls to isolated bullock. Then I suddenly realized that Cohen existed as a reference that had not been traumatized. The wounded, is eaten war suffering, as Barnes was castrated war is a direct symbol.Hemingway said that his writing is merely a reflection of the tip of the iceberg, and I think to understand this sentence, should start from the angle of his writing techniques, because the text is an abstract expression, because of this, many factors writing will also include narration, description, thinking, comment and so on, for example Tolstoy, Kundla and Hemingway as a writer, just do narration and description, he for scenes of life, environment, dialogue and atmosphere are presented which are restrained, hedid not comment, nor to analysis of the so-called "mental world" figures, but he wanted to tell us the content has implied a huge iceberg in the sea under this approach, like the movie, which is probably why Hemingway's works are mostly adapted into film and television drama.。

After the coffee and a fine we got the bill, chalked up the same as ever on a slate, that was doubtless one of the quaint features, paid it, shook hands, and went out. "you never come here anymore, Monsieur Barnes," Madame lecomte said. "Too many compatriots" "Come at lunch-time. It is not crowded them." "Good. I'll be down soon." " You are an expatriate. You're lost touch with the soil. You get precious. Fake european standards had ruined you. You drink yourself to death......" "It sounds like a swell life," I said, "Where do I life?"

• “这一代人之所以迷惘,首先是因为他们是无根之 木,在外地上学,几乎和任何地区或传统失却联 系。这一代人之所以迷惘,是因为他们所受的训 练是为了应付另一种生活,而不是战后的那种生 活,是因为战争使他们只能适应旅行和带刺激性 的生活。这一代人之所以迷惘,是因为他们试图 过流放的生活。这一代人之所以迷惘,是因为他 们不接受旧的行为准则,并因为他们对社会和作 家在社会中的地位形成了一种错误的看法。这— 代人属于从既定的社会准则向尚未产生的社会准 则过渡的时期。” (Malcolm Cowley《流放者的 归来》)
3. Interactions between Different Cultures
• Travelers and local people will gaze at each other. • E.g.: Jake and Romero.
• They represent different cultures. Jack likes Romero’s corrida performance because it can demonstrate masculinity and he can gain consolation from watching it. As for Romero, he is very interested in foreign culture, the contact between the 2 people gives benefit to each other.

The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises《The Sun Also Rises》is the first major novel by Ernest Hemingway. Published in 1926, the plot centers on a group of expatriate American citizens and British subjects in continental Europe during the 1920s.以往很多关于《太阳照常升起》的评论文章大都是围绕以男主人公杰克为代表的“迷惘的一代”或是海明威简洁明快的文风为主题,而女主人公勃莱特则较少有人关注,20世纪80年代以前的评论都是把她归为“魔女”、“妖女”。

In the past, most of the comments of the sun also rises centers on hero-jack who is the representation “the lost generation” or depends on Hemingway simple and neat writing style as the theme. However, there are few people concern heroine Brett, most of people regard her as a “witch” or “siren” in 1980s.1952年卡洛斯·贝克将勃莱特与荷马史诗《奥德赛》中的魔女作了比较,称她是个“美丽动人的危险人物”,进而得到结论是“总而言之,她是该进地狱的、让人致命的30岁的女人”,“魔女”一说从此确立。

爱德蒙·威尔逊也认为勃莱特是“妖女”、“有彻底的破坏力量”。

很多负有盛名的海明威研究专家,也都持类似的观点,因此勃莱特便成为文学史上最具有破坏性的“妖女”。

对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版

对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版海明威的老人与海是世界名著之一,那么对此的英文版评价要怎么写呢?下面是小编为大家带来的范文,相信对你会有帮助的。

对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版篇一The Old Man and the Sea was written by an American writer named Ernest Hemingway. It has been translated into tens of languages, and the writer was so proud of his work.Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back. At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiago couldnt catch even one fish. The boy had gone at his parents orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week, and the couple thought that it was definitely and finally bad to let their boy stay with the old fisherman. On Santiagos eighty-fifth day of fishing, he went out alone, leaving the smell of the land behind and rowing out into the clean early morning smell of ocean. To his surprise, he caught a tuna which he had never seen before and it was hard to believe that the tuna was bigger than his boat. Later, the blood from the tuna left a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway, so fighting against sharks was unavoidable. Theresult was that sharks ate up all the meat of the tuna and Santiago only brought the tuna skeleton back. He was so tired that he slept deeply as soon as he got home, dreaming of lions.In this story, Santiago was an old and poor widow though he was good at fishing and had so much valuable experience. He only lived on fishing all his life. At long last, he just brought the skeleton back, you may think such a fisherman should be a loser, but this result didnt mean failing. On the contrary, Hemingway used the skeleton which was the pillar of spirit to strengthen the meaning of the old mans life. Santiago was described as a perfect person who never gave up.The boy named Manolion appeared in the beginning and at the end. Even during Santiagos voyage, he always came to the poor old mans mind. He was the only person who cared Santiago sincerely, trust Santiago absolutely, and the young boy wanted to be an inheritor of Santiagos career. Hemingway not only told us the experience of fishing should be spread from generation to generation, but also expected us to admire, to learn from and to carry on the spirit of Santiago. The appearance of Manilion was not by chance, which was arranged by Hemingway. During Santiagos long voyage, how much he wished the boy could have been with him to drive hisloneliness away. Youth is the symbol of energy and hope. Even an old man can be young inside. Lions appeared several times in Santiagos dreams for they were living in his heart, which showed the spirit of Santiago would never be low.The coming of the sharks could not be avoided. They can be thought as attack which can swallow your success and happiness. The story tells me to face the problems happened in my life with a heart as wide as ocean. Though the old man was lonely, he was a traveler who walked on the road of realizing his ideals. But he was not alone at the moment, for his will was so firm. The Old Man and the Sea has won the Nobel Prize at last, which is a comfort to the writer.对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版篇二the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers.Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro.

Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.Vessel crossed the end of the world, into the unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while wind and rain erosion-stricken still incomparably beautiful flag, banner, brandishing a Yunlong general words glittering - beyond the limit This is the author of Hemingways evaluation of his work The Old Man and the Sea . Life itself is an endless pursuit. Its a long road, difficult and full of bumpy, but as long as their indomitable courage and self-confidence to a heart to meet the challenge, he will always be a real winner!对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版篇三This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the mans braveness and persistence.When I was a high school student, Ive finished this book in Chinese. But when I read it in English, I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us. May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it. At least, for my part, that is true.Firstly, I would like to review some information about thisbook. Such as the background, major characters and the topic of it.The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a new classic, and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners The Bear and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.The old man Santiago from The Old Man and the Sea is a character seen in many perspectives, as a hero, an ordinary fisherman, an unlucky old man, and a wise man. Throughout the novella he is made out as a person of motivation, passion, and hope. Despite what others do or do not think he is a manof action, and not one consumed by regret. The young and old villagers view of Santiago is an important one, but not a differentiating one. The villagers are split into two groups. The older fishermen that respect Santiago and wish him luck, and the younger fishermen that see him as little more than bad luck. While neither group is particularly important to the plot, each of their views sets an ambiance of Santiago forthcoming adventure. Without their views Santiago would be little more than a lucky old fisherman. Santiago has a resolute grip upon reality and lives by it. He sees himself as a man with little direction but enough determination and experience to live. He chose not to see what others thought but instead lived by how he perceived the world. His constant struggles and his persistent resolve to overcome the marlin and himself show his earnest desires to live and fish.The boy is a crucial element to Santiago world. Mandolin is always at the edge of Santiago mind when he thinks of convenience. At times with the fish, Santiago thinks to the boy and then to his own lack of ability. He may deny it,but at times it is his relationship with the boy that both makes him realize he needs help, and compels him to go on.Christian imagery and concepts are important assets tothe old fisherman personality. He is seen as a kind man, and although expresses his frustration towards certain points, only conveys his anger towards the evil representation of the sharks. His kind, infinite eyes, and he carrying his mast like Jesus and his cross only augment his Christ-like personage. His loneliness and greatness are both shown as Mandolin is assigned a new boat after 40 days with Santiago, the same length of time as Christ spent in the wilderness.Santiago change at the end of the novella turns him into almost a universal hero. By being at sea, his ventures were never limited and the events of the story just seemed to happen. After he rebukes himself for his arrogance with the marlin, Santiago goes home and dreams of the lions playing in Africa, signaling a cycle of a child-like rebirth through Mandolin.Throughout the story many aspects can be found about Santiago personality merely by the content of his 3-day fight with the marlin. The ideology that encompasses the story is only consumed by Santiago pure will to persevere. Certainly Santiago is a man of many themes and personality traits.猜你感兴趣:1.海明威老人与海读书笔记400字2.老人与海简谱海鸣威3.老人与海读后感中英文4.老人与海英文读后感5.海明威经典作品欣赏:老人与海6.老人与海读书笔记100字。

Thoughts About The Sun Also Rises After the World War I,many young people feel upset and corrupt.The protagonist of the novel Jack and Brett are typical examples.They love each but can’t marry because of the impotence of Jack..Then Brett always has affairs with a number of men.Her life,like the lives of many in her generation,is aimless and not fulfilling.Other people,such as Cohn,Bill and Mike are also the member of the Lost Generation.In this article,I will mainly talk about the comment of the social condition and the characteristic of the novel.
The Comment of The Social
Lost Generation refers to the generation after the World War I,which fill their time with inconsequential and escapist activities,such as drinking,dancing,and debauchery. They don’t have any goals in their lives and just want to get easy and comfortable. Normally,they are pitiful generation.Such as Jack can’t have sex,and Cohn feels shy because he is Jewish.With profound psychological consequences,they ignore love and faith.
The reason of the appearance of the Lost Generation are a little complicated.On the one hand,as veteran of World War I,they have the experience of cruel war which give them huge fear in heart.On the other hand,they are sensitive and don’t want to believe other people.Then everyone become ruthless and selfish.
Nowadays,we can also find the occasion like this.On the road,when a old lady fall over herself,there maybe few people try to help her because they can believe the lady. What’s more,plenty of boys extremely like to play computer games in dormitory instead to learn more skills.They just want to get happiness whatever it takes.That’s what we should to rethink profoundly.
The Characteristic of The Novel
On the whole novel,the greatest characteristic is the simple narrate and deep thought.The author just talk about some small thing in their lives without any comment.
