《老人与海》英文读后感范文一：
"The old man and the sea" created a classic tough guy image. A man named sangdeya brother Cuban old fisherman, a man fishing alone in the 48 days after, have gained nothing caught a huge marlin. This is the old man never seen nor heard a big fish said his boat was two feet longer than the. Jin also big fish, dragging the boat drift for two days and two nights, the elderly have never experienced a difficult test in this two days and two nights, finally the barb, tied to the bow. But then they met a shark, the old man and the sharks were life-and-death struggle, the big marlin was eaten by sharks, fish skeleton old man finally dragged home only a bare.
Why not let the elderly Hemingway final victory? Novel in the words of the elderly: "a person is not born to be defeated", "a man can be destroyed, but not defeated." This is the "old man and the sea" to reveal the philosophy. Undeniably, as long as one would have defects. When a person recognizes this shortcoming and tried to overcome it and not go to it, no matter finally caught a full marlin or an empty skeleton, which have not really matter, because a person's life has value in the hunt Marlins in the process of fully embodied. Have their own pursuit of the ideal, struggle, he is not a winner? The old fisherman is wrong and the courage to challenge their own courage and confidence. Secular outlook from the perspective of victory, the old fisherman is not the final winner, because even though he began to beat the big marlin, but eventually the big marlin let sharks eat, he just took the big marlin bones house back to shore, that is to say, the shark is the winner. However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is a winner, because he has never been to sea to the big marlin sharks more compromise and not to surrender. As music master Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but can never be conquered".
Human nature is a powerful, humanity itself has its own limits, but it is because of the old fisherman such people again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, this limit was extended again and again, and again a greater challenge in front of human beings. In this sense, the old fisherman sangdeya brother this hero, whether they challenge limit is success or failure, is always worthy of our respect. Because, he brings us is the most noble human self-confidence!
Life is an endless pursuit. It is the road long, difficult and full of ups and downs, but, as long as he has a brave and confident heart to meet the challenge, he will always be a real winner!
《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象.古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫,独自一个人出海打鱼,在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼.这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼.鱼大劲也大,拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜,老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验,终于把大鱼刺死,拴在船头.然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架.
海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”,“人尽可以被毁灭,但却不能被打败.”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理.不可否认,只要是人就都会有缺陷.当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候,无论最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼还是一副空骨架,这都已经无所谓了,因为一个人的生命价值已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了.曾经为自己的理想努力追求过、奋斗过,难道他不是一个胜利者吗?老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者.从世俗胜利观的角度看,老渔夫不是最后的胜利者,因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼,但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了,他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上,也就是说,鲨鱼才是胜利者.可是,在理想主义者眼里,老渔夫就是胜利者,因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降.就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁,但我不能被征服”.
人性是强悍的,人类本身有自己的限度,但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战,超越它们,这个限度才一次次扩大,一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前.在这个意义上,老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄,不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败,都是值得我们永远敬重的. 因为,他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信!
人生本来就是一种无止境的追求.它的道路漫长、艰难,而且充满坎坷,但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战,他将永远是一个真正的胜利者!
