远大前程》英语读后感范文【篇一】远大前程英语读后感"Great Expectations" has been considered to be one of Charles Dickens ' mostmature and relatively late works. Having experienced a wealth of human life,Dickens got a profound understanding of human-being, the surrounding environmentand his life experiences while all his mature thinking and understanding weresummarized into the book "Great Expectations".The original meaning of the work 's title in fact is aheritage, but when itwas translated into Chinese it gave me an impression that the title shows thehero of the story had Great Expectations. However, reading over the book Irealized that this "Great Expectations" takes an ironic band——it should be saidthat the theme of this work not only told the story of orphan Pip who wanted tobe the ideal first-class disillusionment. If one does think so, he holds a wrongunderstanding of the great significance why Dickens creative the work.The hero Pip lived with his sister 's family. Though theirlife was hard,Pip didn 't wish t o be a first-class person his vision was to be a blacksmithlike his brother-in- law, his sister 's husband. The reasonwhy he changed hismind and was eager to be a first-class person later was the changing ofenvironment ——he met Miss Harvisham, Estella and some other complex people. As weknow one of Dickenss philosophy thoughts is environment takes a deep impact tohumans' ideological and the story expresses his view that different environmentcreates different people.In short, I think the work was not arbitrarily written, but was based onthe 10 works before aggregating Dickens ' thoughts. What is more, Dickens had puthis outlook on life, his views of philosophy and ethics into the great creation.篇二】远大前程读后感英文版With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist, it is really a prettyhard job to choose one to read first. After much hesitation and deeply thought,I finally decided to borrow Great Expectations from the small library.Great Expectations is about love, family, and rejection as Pip and MissHavisham have both been rejected in certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 yearsold, easy to fright, and goes through his life suffering lots of sadness. He isin love with a girl named Estella and wants her to find his love, but for himbeing shy and not showing himself to her, it makes it very hard for him.Great Expectations was the penultimate novel completed by the most popularnovelist of Victorian England, Charles Dickens. Born in Kent, England, in 1812to a family of modest means but great pretensions, Dickens 's early life wasmarked by both humiliation and ambition. Dickens never forgot the period offinancial crisis during his childhood, when following his father 's bankruptcy,he was taken out of school and forced to work in a shoepolish warehouse.Pip meets an escaped convict, Magwitch, and gives him food, in an encounterthat is to haunt both their lives.When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishlyabandons his friends for London society and his “great expectations ”。
I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a briefintroduction of this masterpiece in my high school English textbook before. Inaddition, a Tale of Two Cities which is also written by Charles Dickens, theoutstanding and special English writer, left me a wonderful and deepimpression, when I finished reading the marvelous story.Of course, Great Expectations didn 't let me down, either. What's more, thewhole structure of the novel is well and elaborately designed. The plot isextremely attractive and full of unexpected twists. Quite a few characters havea distinguishable personality. Moreover, those words and sentences are sobeautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully in my notebook.By reading them no less than three times, I have learned not only some newphrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella whoshould be regarded as the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfullysorry that I was not brave enough to read the original edition that is as thickas a brick. Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe and Magwitch more. Yes, they arenot the main characters in the novel. However, what they said and what they diddeeply touched me. It 's interesting, isn 't it? They arequite the oppositeguys. One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while theother is a prisoner who is believed to have committed every evil.I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe.When he talkedabout his heavy drinking father who hit him a lot, he said he had a lot oflove. Faced with his rude wife, he would rather seem a bit weak or foolish thanstand up to her and fight for himself. Knowing peacockishPip was ashamed ofhis uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly. The world rushes on over thestrings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness.But when he wasinformed of Pip 's illness, he immediately came to take good care of Pip. He isalways contributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe, kind,tolerant and selfless. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing socruel and pitiless as cowardice," says a wise author.However, why do I appreciate Magwitch, the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed,Magwitch did a lot of evil things when he was young. But how can you be unmovedwhen you get to know that the old man kept himself going just by thinking ofthe boy who once did him a small favor ?He lost his only daughter and Pip hadno parents, so he considered himself as the boy 's second father, making up hismind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kind of job and leda hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himselfthat all the money would go to Pip. He could have led a better life in Australia,but Ihe chose to go back to London .with the simple intention of seeing Pip,he went back at the risk of being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from thestart, remember, rea der, he had a good heart. ” Joe used these words to describehis father. But I think these words can better describe Magwitch. He lived withthe fear of death all his life. Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut outfrom love. However, thankfully, because Pip finally realized his good heart,his ending was peaceful.Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account ofhis lifes experiences, and the entire story is understood to have been writtenas a retrospective, rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary orjournal. Still, though Pip "knows" how all the events in the story will turnout, he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that we learn of events onlywhen the Pip in the story does. Pip does, however, use the perspective of thebitter lessons hes learned to comment acidly on various actions and attitudesin his earlier life.I know how to fully understand this novel, twice is far from enough. Pip,Estella, Miss Havisham, Biddy even Mr Wemmick, every single character has astory that is well worth my attention. I love this novel so much that I amdetermined to read the original edition one day. Believe me. But before thatday comes, I will see the movie Great Expectations first.Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire theview without paying attention to your needs.。
