AReviewofAChristmasCarol《圣诞颂歌》读后感(英文)
The Report on A Christmas CarolA Christmas Carol, an interesting and attractive novel, is written by Charles Dickens. The whole story is about the life changing of a hard, clever but selfish and mean old businessman. The author, Charles Dickens, is a famous English novelist, and was born on February 7th, 1812 and died on June 9th, 1870. When he was only a child, his father was imprisoned for debt. The family’s increasing poverty forced Dickens out of school at age 12 to work in a shoe-polish factory. Soon after his father's release from prison, Dickens got a better job as an errant boy in law offices. In 1833, his first published piece appeared in the Monthly Magazine signed with his brother's nickname. Later he published a few pieces. For the next thirty years Dickens wrote novels until he died. His other works include: Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1839), The Personal History of David Copperfield (1850), Little Dorrit (1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), and Great Expectations (1861). A Christmas Carol was first published in 1836.The main character in this novel is an old businessman named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is rich in the town, but he is very selfish and miserly. His employee Bob only gets 15 shillings every week. Scroooge believes that Christmas is just an excuse for people to have a rest. He doesn't believe in all of the good cheer and charity. He refuses the donation collectors to assist any further, because he thinks the people in need of charity are all idle, if they work, they would not in need. Also he refuses his nephew's invitation to have dinner with them on Christmas Eve. He says Christmas is humbug. In the town, children are afraid of him; no one likes him and cares about him. He spends his days counting his profits and wishing the world would leave him alone.Another character Bob Cratchit is Scrooge's accountant. He is a hard-working man, and he loves his family very much. His family is so poor that they can't afford the treatment for the youngest son who is very ill.Then Jacob Marley was once Scrooge's business partner, but he died seven years ago. Like Scrooge, he was very greedy and cold. Now his ghost appears to Scrooge on Christmas Eve to tell him the horrors he may be confronted. And tells him three ghosts will visit him this night. After warming,Marley flies out the window and joins the other ghosts who drag their chains.Three ghosts are important characters in this book. Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come show Scrooge some shadows. These shadows make Scrooge realize something. He begins to know he is wrong and these shadows change his life.The story is divided into five sections. Dickens calls them staves; after all, it's a song. The first stave, beginning of the story, tells about what kind of person Scrooge is and the Marley's ghost. From these sentences in this part like ' The only thing that mattered to him was business, and making money', ' The frost in his heart made the air around him cold, too. The hottest days of summer his office was as cold as ice', 'Bah! Humbug! ',and the accountant Bob's working place and wage, we can see Scrooge is a hard, mean, selfish, cold, miserable and lonely man. Then on Christmas Eve, Marley's ghost comes. It tells Scrooge that the spirits of every man who does not help other people in life has to travel endless through the world after his death. And these spirits have to carry the chains that they made for themselves in their lifetime. Scrooge looks out the window and sees the sky filled with other chained spirits. Also, he tells Scrooge three ghosts will come to visit him next three nights and hope he will change his life. But Scrooge doesn’t believe this.The next three staves, the climax of the story, revolve around the visitation of the three famous spirits. The Ghost of Christmas Past, with his glowing head, represents memory. He shows Scrooge his childhood home, a dilapidated schoolhouse, a happy Christmas party and his wife. When he sees this, he begs the ghost to take him back to his own time. And he extinguishes the light from the ghost's head when he feels that he is unable to bear any of the other memories. By showing Scrooge his past, the ghost has makes him realize that he has changed his interest from people to money. Then the Ghost of Christmas Present represents charity, empathy, and the Christmas spirit. He shows Scrooge both Bob and his nephew's homes. They are celebrating Christmas Day. Both of the families say good wishes for Scrooge although he has never been kind to them. In this stave, another character appears. Tiny Tim, Bob's young son, is seriously ill. And Scrooge begins to care about the boy's life. That promotes the idea that it is never too late to learn to love. Finally, the third ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, represents the fear of death. He shows Scrooge how he will die and what people are sayingafter his death. The ghost doesn't say any word while they are travelling, just points something and somewhere by a hand. When Scrooge sees the body lying in the bed, and hears the gossip, he begs the ghost to tell him that his fate can be changed and these won't happen if he changes his ways. But the ghost doesn't answer him. He says 'I will remember the past, and think of the future. I will be good to other people. I will keep Christmas in my heart, and will try to be kind, and cheerful, and merry, every day.' From then on, Scrooge knows he must change his way.The last stave, the end of the story, tells the big changes of Scrooge after three ghosts' visitation. He wakes up and finds out that the ghosts visited him all in one night. He buys a big turkey and sends it to Bob and gives a great deal of money to donation collector. And of course Tiny Tim is healthy later. Scrooge never sees the ghosts again, because he keeps the spirit of Christmas alive in his heart as well as everyone.With A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens hopes to illustrate how these insensitive people can be converted into charitable, caring, cheerful, and socially conscious members of society. The answer is warmth, generosity, and overall goodwill.20XX年02月15日。

The Report on A Christmas CarolEnglish 0903 JaneA Christmas Carol is one of the best-known works of Charles Dickens, who is a Criticism writer in the 19th century. His works mainly reflect the reality and A Christmas Carol, with no exception, mirrors westerners' lives on Christmas.The novel tells an old man who regards money as his own life---Ebenezer Scrooge. Even on Christmas Eve, when the family gets together and people bless each other, he is still quite mean to everybody. It is not until three ghosts' coming to reveal his childhood, present and future that he realizes how important to be good to others and what Christmas means. The ghosts of the past, present and future visit Scrooge and help him see how his behaviour has impacted on his life, and the way that he is treated by other people as a consequence. At the end of the novel, Scrooge is no longer the one he has been.From the novel I've learned what the inherent meaning of Christmas is, which results in my thinking about how to treat others.Christmas is to western countries what Spring Festival is to China. Although both festivals are designed to celebrating the coming year, they have their distinctive characters. I used to assume that Christmas is merely about Santa Claus, gifts, or big meal. Now I have realized Christmas is also the time to put away one's hatred and to treat others well sincerely. For instance, Bob, Scrooge's clerk, toasts the longevity and health of Scrooge though Scrooge gives him so little money that he can hardly make ends meet. Bob and his families live in poverty; however, they know gratitude and amicability. Hence they lead a full-of-laughter life. In contrast, wealthy as he is, Scrooge is as dismal as the dark night. To be friendly——a spirit of Christmas——is one of the differences between Christmas and Spring Festival. Nowadays an increasing number of young Chinese have been taking a fancy to Christmas as if it were a most fashionable symbol. But how many of them recognize what Christmas means indeed? I think there is no point in celebrating Christmas without knowing the Christmas culture.As for the protagonist, Scrooge, he is a representative of those who go to extreme to earn money so that he ignores love-----love for friends, for soul mate, and for people in need. To some extend, Scrooge is lucky in that he meets three ghosts and avoids ending up in being a wandering ghost like his partner, Marley.Scrooge finally becomes a man with great heart. Whereas, there are still Scrooges in our present society. Especially in China, the richer they are, the more reluctant they are when it comes to doing charity. Although it is not obligatory for the rich to donate money, the world needs all people's love, no matter who you are. Last but not the least, happiness does not lie in what you have gained but what you have dedicated.To sum up, A Christmas Carol rethinks the relationship among people, convincing readers that human beings should be kind to each other.。

圣诞颂歌读后感A Chistmas Carol Book Report
A Christmas Carol Book ReportRecently, I read the British famous novel A Christmas Carol, which is written by Charles Dickens. And I think it is very meaningful, I like it very much. A Christmas Carol give me deep revelation in many ways. And it also let me think more about life, love and social life. Below is my own feeling after reading A Christmas Carol.A Christmas Carol’s author Charles Dickens is a famous writer in British literature history. He is born in 1812, died in 1870. The only education he received was two years of schooling. At the age of 12, he had to work as a worker and then became a reporter for a newspaper. In 1837, his novel made him the most famous of his time in England. The popularity of Dicken’s novels and short stories has meant that not one has ever gone out of print. Ddickens wrote serialized novels, the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories was eagerly anticipated by the reading public.A Christmas Carol represents a story happened in a Christmas dream. The main character didn’t believe in Christmas and was selfish and cruel to other people. However, after the tree ghosts came and brought him to the past, present and the future, hesuddenly understood what share means.Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy tavern; and having read all the newspapers, and beguiled the rest of the evening with his banker’s book, went home to bed. He lived in chambers which had once belonged to his deceased partner. They were a gloomy suite of rooms, in a lowering pile of building up a yard, where it had so little business to be, that one could scarcely help fancying it must have run there when it was a young house, playing at hide-and-seek with other houses, and have forgotten the way out again. It was old enough now, and dreary enough; for nobody lived in it but Scrooge, the other rooms being all let out as offices. The yard was so dark that even Scrooge, who knew its every stone, was fain to grope with his hands. The fog and frost so hung about the black old gateway of the house, that it seemed as if the Genius of the Weather sat in mournful meditation on the threshold.Ebenezer Scrooge was a greedy and lonely man. He wanted to spend all his days working so as to make more money. He had a clerk called Bob Cratchit, and he also wanted him to work all day long without raising his salary. As Scrooge never felt that he had made enough money he never felt happy, not even on Christmas. Bob did not feel happy either, because he had to work all the yearround with no weekends, holidays, not even Christmas, yet still being unable to support his family with his small salary.On one Christmas Day, when Scroge went home after work, there was something strange happening in his house. After he sat down on his sofa to have a tea, a ghost appeared before him. It was Scrooge’s old partner, Madrly Scrooge was frightened. The ghost of Marley was chained up by a long iron chain. He told Scrooge that he needed to change his bad ways otherwise he would also be chained up when he died with even a much longer chain. He also told Scrooge that there would be three ghosts coming to visit him that night. And then the ghost left him and went away.When the clock stroke one, the ghost of Christmas Present appeared. It took him to B ob’s house. Although Bob’s family were not very rich, they still had a good Christmas party. They drink for each one’s health. But when they came to drink for Scrooge’s health, everyone looked sad. They thought Scrooge was good for nothing. Then the ghost took him to Scrooge’s nephew’s house. They were having a Christmas party too.They were talking about Scrooge. They thought Scrooge was a miser who did not use his money to do anything good. Scrooge made a reflection on how to spend his money doing good deeds after he heard this.Soon the clock struk two and the ghost of Christmas Future came. It took Scrooge to a funeral house. It was his own funeral but no one was sorry for him. This made Scrooge know that if he did not change his miserly ways, he would have an awful result and a miserable death. No one would miss him when he died. This trip gave Scrooge a good warning and he became a generous and kind man ever since the next day. He sent a turkey to Bob and gave to the poor. Most importantly, he gave Bob a pay-rise.The spirit of Christmas is to give, to forgive, and to love others.A man who gets a lot of money but with no generosity will never live a happy life. He will spend a life of unhappiness and grievance. But a poor man with a generous heart will live his life in happiness and laughter. We need to forgive others when they hurt you or harm you, just like what Scrooge’s nephew did in the story. He forgave Scrooge when Scrooge said something which hurt him a lot. We also need to love others, just like what Scrooge did at the end of the story. He sent a big turkey to Bob and gave him a pay-rise. Let us be generous and kind, both to the poor and the strangers, our friends and neighbors. In that way we will live a happy and lovely life in the world.。

Of course, I have seen the story done on stage a number of times （mostly as a child）， and the various movies are a yearly Christmas tradition. （My favorite is Albert Finney'sportrayal in the early 1970's British musical version "Scrooge."）But despite being very familiar with the story itself through stage and film, and despite having bought a copy of the book some years back, I had never taken the time to sit down and read the story.So, having bought a new edition of the book after Christmas last year, I finally sat down in December and began the original story.It was absolutely sublime!As much as I love the film and stage adaptations of the story, the book was just wonderful. So full of color and imagination and description - you could fairly feel the 19th century London cold, the piles of apples and oranges on the street carts, the hawkers calling out to passers-by bundled head-to-toe in woolen coats and boots.This really is the quintessential Victorian Christmas story. I suppose I'm only about 170 years late in determining that, but now that I have read the story, I can see why it was such an instantaneous hit with readers. It was so successful during his lifetime, in fact, that Dickens began a tradition of writing Christmas stories every year. The edition of A Christmas Carol that I purchased last year has two other Dickens Christmas stories in it as well, although I have not yet dived into those two.So I highly recommend this book. If you have seen any or most of the various Scrooge movies that have been made over the years, much of the book will be familiar, but there are a few scenes here and there that I have never seen re-enacted in a play or a movie,。

Finally, scrooge became a respected benefactor.圣诞颂歌英文读后感篇二A Christmas Carol is one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, who is a Criticism writer in the 19th century. His works mainly reflect the reality. So I like his works very much.Charles Dickens was born in 1812, England. He had many difficulties during his childhood. However, these experiences enriched his life, at the same time, supporting many writing materials for his writing. He wrote more than 20 novels in all, reflecting the hate to the money and the sympathy to the common people. His works, such as Great Expectations, a Tale 0f Tw0 Cities, were affected by many readers.This novel told a people who regard money as important as his own life---Scrooge. Even on Christmas Eve, he was also quite mean to everybody. There are five chapters in all. Chapter 1 introduced scrooge’s character and Marley, his friend’s ghost. The language was very beautiful and active. I like this part best. As followed there was a part of word to describe Scrooge: he was a hard man with money, hard as a stone. He was a secret self-contained man; friendless and alone .the coldness inside him froze his old face. His eyes were red. His thin lips were blue. Cold seemed to stiffen his way of walking. The hair on his head and above his eyes was white, white as snow. He carries this coldness with him always wherever he went. This part illustrated Scrooge was a cold man. He grasped the money tightly. As the following story, Scrooge refused his nephew invitation to have the dinner with his family. And he always scolded the Christmas is humbug. He didn’t believe the existence of Christmas and didn’t want to share his happiness and money with others. He had dinner in an inn and then went home. He had rooms in a house which had once belonged to Marley. Scolded sat quietly on the coach. But suddenly there is a big knocker on the door. It was Marley’s ghost. The ghost was bound by the heavy chain and told Scrooge its tragic fate. The ghost told Scrooge that three spirits will come to Scrooge and then faded away.From chapter 2 to chapter 4, it talked about the three spirits. The first spirit stood for the past. It showed the happy times in the past of Scrooge. In the past Scrooge always said “Merry Christmas” to whoever he met. He loved life and enjoyed everything in his life. In this part the spirit also showed the first work of Scrooge. His boss, Fezziwig, treated them very well on Christmas. But Scrooge gradually changed. He loved money more than his lover. So his lover parted with him. It’s the money that made Scrooge lost many things. The second stands for the present. in this part , Scrooge is a greedy man . He has no mercy to everything and waste of his time. The third spirit stands for the future. In this part, it showed that Scrooge regret what he had done. And Scrooge was impressed at last. He understood money is not the only thing that is worth to reserve. Love and care were important too.At the last chapter, that is chapter 5, Scrooge changed himself and gave mercy to the poor. And he had dinner with his nephew.All in all, this story has a perfect end. Form this story, I realized that in this world, money is not everything. We also need love and help.圣诞颂歌英文读后感篇三In the summer vacation, I read a book which is called “The Christmas Carol”. It is written by Charles Dickens, a famous English writer.The story is about Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser. Scrooge always said about Christmas, “Bah，humbug”. He also didn’t like spending money and giving money away even more. Marley used to be the partners with Scrooge. Unfortunately, he died 7 years ago. One day, Maley’s ghost came to his home and toldScrooge three Christmas ghost would come to his home. Firstly, Ghost of Christmas Past came. He showed Scrooge how he became a miser from a happy boy. Then, Ghost of Christmas Present came. He showed his employee and his nephew’s happy lives. Finally, Ghost of Christmas Future came. He took Scrooge to his grave in his future and showed him his lonely death is the result of his mean and miserly life. In the next morning, Scrooge understood. He changed his living way and became generous. He donated money to the charity organization.I think it is a good story. It tells us to be generous and help other people more. To be miserly and mean only do harm to other people and ourselves. Helping others is a very good virtue. It makes you feel good, make others feel warm and make others remember you. As so many advantages, why you don’t do this?。
圣诞颂歌读后感英文
圣诞颂歌读后感英文After reading the Christmas Carol, I was deeply moved by the powerful message of redemption and the spirit of giving that Charles Dickens conveyed through his timeless tale. The story follows the transformation of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, and ultimately learns the true meaning of Christmas.One of the most striking aspects of the story is the portrayal of Scrooge as a cold-hearted and selfish man, who is solely focused on accumulating wealth and has no regard for the well-being of others. His catchphrase "Bah, Humbug!" has become synonymous with the grumpy attitude towards Christmas and the holiday season. However, as the story unfolds, we see a gradual change in Scrooge as he is confronted with the consequences of his actions and the impact they have on those around him.The visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge on a journey through his own history, allowing him to reflect on the choices he has made and the opportunities he has missed. This serves as a powerful reminder that our past experiences shape who we are, but they do not have to define our future. It also highlights the importance of self-reflection and taking responsibility for our actions.The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge the joy and warmth of the holiday season, as well as the struggles of those less fortunate. This serves as a wake-up call for Scrooge, as he realizes the impact of his own selfishness and the suffering it causes. It also emphasizes the spirit of giving and the importance of compassion and empathy towards others.Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come reveals a bleak future for Scrooge, where he is despised and alone, and his death is met with indifference. This serves as a stark warning of the consequences of continuing down the path of greed and selfishness. It also highlights the power of redemption and the opportunity for change, no matter how dire the circumstances may seem.Ultimately, the story of A Christmas Carol is a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas – a time for love, compassion, and generosity. It encourages us to look beyond ourselves and to consider the well-being of others, especially those in need. It also serves as a reminder that it is never too late to change and to make a positive impact on the world around us.As I reflect on the message of A Christmas Carol, I am reminded of the importance of kindness and the joy that comes from giving to others. It serves as a timeless reminder that the spirit of Christmas is not found in material possessions, but in the love and compassion we share with those around us. This message is as relevant today as it was when Charles Dickens first penned his classic tale, and it serves as a timeless reminder of the true spirit of the holiday season.。
圣诞颂歌读后感英文
圣诞颂歌读后感英文After reading the Christmas Carol, I feel deeply moved by the powerful message of redemption and the spirit of giving that is woven throughout the story. Charles Dickens' timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation from a miserly and selfish man to a kind and generous one is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.The story begins with Scrooge, a wealthy but bitter old man who despises the holiday season and everything it stands for. He is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his selfishness and greed. Throughout the night, Scrooge is visited by three more spirits – the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come – who show him the error of his ways and the impact of his actions on those around him.As I followed Scrooge on his journey of self-discovery, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of kindness,compassion, and empathy. The story serves as a powerful reminder that it is never too late to change, and that even the most hardened hearts can be softened by the spirit of Christmas.One of the most poignant moments in the story is when Scrooge is shown the Cratchit family, who are struggling to make ends meet. Despite their poverty, they are filled with love and joy, and are grateful for the little they have. This serves as a stark contrast to Scrooge's own wealth and material possessions, which have left him feeling empty and alone. It is a powerful reminder that true happiness comes from the relationships we build and the love we share, rather than the things we own.The transformation of Scrooge is truly heartwarming, as he learns to embrace the spirit of giving and generosity. He not only makes amends for his past behavior, but also goes out of his way to help those in need, including the Cratchit family. This serves as a powerful example of the impact that one person can have on the lives of others, and the ripple effect of kindness and compassion.The Christmas Carol is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, kindness, and the true spirit of Christmas. As I finished the book, I felt inspired to carry the message of the story with me throughout the holiday season and beyond, and to strive to make a positive impact on the world around me.In conclusion, the Christmas Carol is a powerful and moving story that serves as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. It is a timeless tale of redemption, compassion, and the spirit of giving that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. As I reflect on the story, I am inspired to carry its message with me and to strive to make a positive impact on the world around me.。

If you have seen any or most of the various Scrooge movies that have been made over the years, much of the book will be familiar, but there are a few scenes here and there that I have never seen re-enacted in a play or a movie, including a trip out to a mining colony on the coast of England, and a hovering ride over the English Channel to view Christmas on a Navy ship.Even after all these years of watching movies and plays based upon this story, I was still moved, emotionally, while reading this book, particularly during the scenes with the Cratchit family. And at the end, I almost felt a tear well up when Scrooge showed up on his nephew's doorstep for Christmas Lunch.To end, let me quote one of the more poignant passages from the book. The Ghost of Christmas Present has just reminded Scrooge of his harsh words about how if the poor are going to die "then they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." The Ghost quoted the same phrase after Scrooge expressed concern about whether or not Tiny Tim would die. The Ghost goes on to say the following:"Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! To hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust."That last line, in particular, strikes a powerful chord. How relevent, 170 years downstream, and in another country, for the self-righteous protestations of the wealthy American!下载文档润稿写作咨询。
