<<远大前程>>的英文读后感2008年07月27日 星期日 09:33Impression of a book of 'Great Expectation'

Went to the bookstore during the holiday, I chose a book from a lot of world masterpieces, named Great Expectation, when I pick up this book, I have not expected that such an English book will have a so great impact on me, making my thoughts and feelings very deep, I think that the form and content of this book are all very outstanding.
It is written by Charles Dickens,a famous writter from England,and it is not important.Now I will turn to the topic on how it can attract me.
The character in this masterpiece left me the deep impression is Pip.He falls in love with Estella.He studied as hard as he could.Educating himself for her.Why did he love Estella so much? Just for her beautiful face? because she is pretty? She is rich? She is proud? In fact, I think Pip pay out so much for the love.She didn't treat him well and even that she didn't respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog,but he didn't hate her. On the contrary, he left from his home and his friends. He just want to be a gentleman.He abandoned a lot than he got. I can't understand why he do it in this way. I think it's not worth at all. If one person don't like you or not respect you,you needn't do everything for her. So it made me quite sad.I feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life...
Miss Havisham is aslo a character who left me a deep impression.She was a pitiful lady.Her mother died young.Her farther was very rich and very proud.with only one child,Miss Havisham,by his first wife.In fact, she should have a nice life,but her wedding was destroied by her fiance.He broke her heart and she was angry.She want to retaliate all men.She was really a abject woman.But she chose a wrong way to continue her life..She wanted to hurt other persons.And she had done.This is no good for her.Only made her feel a little comfortable.and there was more victims in the world.there are so many persons in the world.when they were hurt they want to hurt other innocent persons.Athough this is no good for them,but they did so.I do not know why they did so.Revenge?Made the world full of hateness.It is difficult to understand.
That's my thought.
《远大前程》是狄更斯晚期的作品，也是他最成熟的作品。这个书名是有讽刺意味的，它讲述了一个孤儿，匹普想当上等人的理想幻灭的故事，他最终没有当成上等人，当然也就没有了所谓的远大前程。本书以极其精彩的故事情节紧扣读者的心弦，生动地描写了一个饱受苦难并同命运不断抗争的孤儿匹普的心理历程，最后他终于悟出人生道理，成为一名普通人，并与初恋情人握手重逢，获得了圆满的结局。
《远大前程》的故事情节有它的独特之处，读来让读者有一种欲罢不能的感觉。本书的主人公匹普，更是联系其它人物角色的一条主线。环境可以改变人的命运，匹普就是被环境改变的。一开始，匹普还是一个孩子的时候是多么的天真，轻易信人，富有同情心。然而，匹普遭遇的宿命就是遇上了一位女皇般的姑娘，这位姑娘将透彻影响他的一生。他开始瞧不起自己，开始为自己的家庭环境及出身感到自卑，“而我一想到这座宅邸，心中就没有一丝阳光！同时对自己的行为也更为厌恶，也更瞧不起自己的家庭。”这是一段很好的情景交融的写法，在这样一所恐怖的房间里，匹普彻底瞧不起自己。是中了魔吗？不！这正应了一句真理：人是环境中的产物。是环境改变了匹普。进一步，匹普“交上好运”后，已鬼迷心窍了，非要去当上等人。匹普要求赫伯特教他礼貌与规矩，说明他急于想成为一个伦敦人。但是，无论怎样，匹普内心中的善良，还是可以体会到的。他暗中花钱支助赫伯特的事业，这表明他是一个善良的人，对朋友慷慨仁义，决不吝啬。知道他的恩人竟然是一个逃犯时，他开始从环境中蜕变出来。“与恩人道别开始变得沉重与焦虑了。”这说明匹普开始关心恩人的安危并且对恩人产生感情了。“即使缺钱也不再用恩人的钱。”表明匹普内心美好的东西开始复苏，最终，他还是过上了平凡而真实的生活。最后，匹普与艾丝黛拉手握住手，一道走出废墟，广大的天地沉浸在静谧的月华之中……从废墟到夜雾再到月华，象征了匹普和艾丝黛拉爱情的三部曲，开始是不可能，后来是朦朦胧胧，最后是月光普照。这是一个大团圆结局，总算无遗憾。
在语言特点，写作手法上，更是有许多地方值得我们学习的。“老鼠一直在用牙齿啃它，可是还有比老鼠更尖利的牙齿在啃我。”以此来比喻赫微香老小姐内心的痛苦，绝妙！“一种使人恐怖的幻觉在我心中扩散，好像我与艾丝黛拉正在开始腐烂……”这是典型的文学性描写，达到了诗的效果。“我忽然情绪失控，趴在地上，使劲地扯自己两边的头发。”这句话特别能够传达出人物内心矛盾的心理，他明知爱错了人，但还是要去爱，。“伦敦给我的印象有点乱，路窄道弯，而且十分肮脏。”仅此几笔，便勾勒出了伦敦的特征。匹普就是在这样的环境下，成为一个“上等人”二努力。作者在叙述赫微香的故事时，既紧凑又周详，用的是倒叙手法。在此，我们对老小姐的情况就清楚了，对她之前的变态行为也理解了。“他的话像闪电，使我一下就看清了自己，接着失望，危险，羞耻等各种后果，向我冲击而来，使我几乎呼吸困难。”闪电这个比喻很准确，马格韦契正是以一连串快速有力的问话揭示出他才是匹普的恩人。为什么匹普感到失望，危险，羞耻呢？那是因为恩人在他的心中一直是个迷，他总觉得是老小姐，结果是一个逃犯，他当然失望了。与逃犯接触肯定是有危险的，这一点，匹普很清楚。而用一个逃犯的钱过上等人的生活又的确让匹普感到羞耻……
岁月在流逝，人物开始变化，在作者的笔下，通篇写来十分自然。最后大家都过着平凡而真实的生活，这是一个多么完美的结局。
