我读希腊神话故事

——《希腊神话故事》读书报告 读了《希腊神话故事》，我很庆幸我通过它对希腊天神的描写，了解了西方人文精神的起源、西方古典艺术的辉煌。《希腊神话故事》并不是单纯记叙神话传说的，它反映了一些神化了的历史事实，如特洛伊战争、七将攻忒拜等都是有历史依据的；许多都是人们对某种现象或事物来源的解释，如关于普罗米修斯的故事就是对火的来源的解释。

《希腊神话故事》中的“神”实际上是人化了的神，而“人”（英雄）实际上是神化了的人，显示了希腊神话的进步性、现实性。对神的肯定和赞扬，实际上就是对人的肯定和赞扬。神与人不同的地方，在于他们是永生不死的，而且主宰着人间的祸福与命运。古希腊人崇拜神，但并不把神明放在一个特别崇高的地位，也不把神明作为道德衡量的标准，而是把他们作为世俗的反映。希腊神话故事正是以这种人文精神，以动人的故事和丰富的思想内涵，令人百读不厌，甚至成为后代文学艺术创作丰富的思想源泉。总之，《希腊神话故事》中的神既是人性化的，也是世俗化的。

一、《希腊神话故事》中神的人性化

首先，他们生活的世界像人类生活的世界一样，有各种各样的生活、不同的行业，甚至是等级制度。众神生活的世界就像人类的一个社会。在这个社会中，宙斯就是最高统治者。在他的统

治下，有统帅，像阿加门农；有将军，像阿喀琉斯；有负责各个部门工作的神，像农神得墨特耳、海神波塞冬、火神赫淮斯托斯、战神阿瑞斯等等。他们分工明确、各司其职。神也有法庭。重大的事情不是某一位神说了算，而是在法庭上裁决。

其次，希腊神话中的神会追求爱情，他们也有七情六欲，他们也会贪婪好色。希腊神话中的神——女神多爱慕体魄健壮的男神，男神则钟情美丽多情的女神。这方面尤其以宙斯为最。虽然他是众神世界的最高统治者，可是并没有那种皇者应有的涵养。他迷恋尘世的女子，或化身灵兽，或化身俊男，接近引诱美貌的女子，到处留下风流种子。当那些女子知道他就是万神之主宙斯时，除了认命还能怎么办呢？宙斯的妻子赫拉嫉妒心极重。对于同为女性的受害者，她不但没有给予足够的同情，反而把怨恨发泄在她们身上，仿佛是别人引诱她的丈夫而不是她的丈夫诱骗别人。他们夫妻之间的怄气，直接造成了别人的痛苦。伊俄就是其中一名典型的受害者。当宙斯知道自己引诱伊俄的事已被赫拉知晓后，为了不让赫拉找到伊俄，他把伊俄变成了一头牛。但是这还是让赫拉识破了，她派了一名奴仆看守着伊俄。从此伊俄有家归不得，亲人近在咫尺却不能相认，最惨的还要离乡背井，备受相思之苦。

再次，和所有的人类一样，希腊神话中的神也善妒好争。整个希腊神话的叙述就是以克洛诺斯向乌拉诺斯进行残酷复仇开始的。与人类一样，希腊神话故事中的众神也会为亲情、爱情而 复仇，也会为荣誉而战。这些复仇行为无论是复仇的缘由还是手段都与人类行为极为相似，唯一不同的是人类缺少神的神力。总之，希腊神话中神都有人性化的一面，人类的贪婪、虚假、报复、妒忌、正义、勇敢，都能在他们身上得以体现。

二、《希腊神话故事》中神的世俗化

中国神话中对神的褒贬则多以道德为标准，而在希腊神话中，对神的褒贬标准多以智慧、力量为标准。“不食人间烟火”是中国神话中神仙们的重要特征。在中国的很多经史典籍中，中国上古的神仙们，例如伏羲、女娲、炎帝、黄帝、尧、舜、禹等等，都是无比崇高的。他们不苟言笑，从不戏谑人类，更不会嫉妒和残害人类。在个人的私生活上，他们从来都是十分规矩和检点的，十分注重小节、注重品行和道德的培养，并且尊贤重道。几乎每一位神仙都不会有“红杏出墙”或“乱播滥情种子”的现象。在他们的身上，只有神圣的光环、纯洁的品性和高尚的情操。相反，在希腊神话中，我们所看到的大大小小的天神都是世俗的，是满身人间烟火味的形象：众神之王宙斯狂放不羁，拈花惹草，在神界与人间留下了一大串风流债，更严重的是他任意行事，不讲原则，充满嫉妒和个人爱好；神后赫拉，本是众神和人间的表率，但她却经常为嫉妒和仇恨而迷失了本性，做出一些残酷的蠢事来，没有丝毫让人类敬重的地方。主神如此，他们手下的众神也都有着极为相似的品性。在希腊军队与特洛伊的战争中，阿喀琉斯让阿伽门农把抢来的女俘克里塞斯送还到他的父亲阿波罗的祭司身边，因为此时阿波罗正为他的祭司的女儿被劫而用瘟疫来消灭希腊军队，阿伽门农认为自己受到了侮辱，硬是将女俘克里塞斯留在了自己的身边，阿喀琉斯愤而带领他的军队撤出了战斗，使特洛伊大将赫克托耳很快地杀掉了还没有死于瘟疫的希腊士兵。又如，阿波罗因同玛耳绪比赛吹笛子而失败，便残酷地剥了玛耳绪的皮，并把它挂在树上。再如月神与阿波罗兄妹，因尼俄泊嘲笑了他们的母亲提坦巨人勒托只生下一子一女，并禁止忒拜妇女向勒托献祭，他们便射杀了尼俄泊众多的儿女。不胜枚举。可见，在希腊神话故事中，神与人除了力量上的差别外，在情感上却是相同的。当天神们脱掉神的外衣之后，个个就都成了世俗的凡人。中国诸神所普遍体现的献身精神，更是希腊神话中的天神所不具备的。在希腊神话中，其开辟神话充满了血腥：宇宙最先生下了卡俄斯、胸怀宽广的地母该亚、冥土塔耳塔洛斯、爱神厄洛斯。卡俄斯又生了黑夜之神尼克斯和黑暗之神埃瑞波斯。尼克斯和埃瑞波斯结合后生下了太空和白昼。该亚则生了乌拉诺斯、大海、高山。这时乌拉诺斯成了主宰，他与母亲该亚结合，生了六男六女共十二位天神。后来，第一代主神乌拉诺斯被儿子克洛诺斯阉割了。克洛诺斯与妹妹瑞亚结合也生下了六男六女，宙斯是最小的一个。克洛诺斯害怕他的儿女们像他推翻父亲一样来推翻 他，便将自己的所有儿女都吞进了肚子之中。在宙斯出生之前，瑞亚在地母该亚的帮助下逃到了克里特岛，上岛之后才生下了宙斯，宙斯这才幸免于难。后来宙斯联合诸神推翻了父亲克洛诺斯，逼他吐出了哥哥姐姐们。宙斯于是便在奥林匹斯山上建立了神性王国，自己做了至上神。这则希腊神话表明，宙斯的神界秩序是在代代天神们的血肉之躯上建立起来的，更严重的是这种杀戮还都是骨肉之争。

总之，《希腊神话故事》是我们了解西方文化的捷径。我们可以通过它，了解西方人文精神的起源，了解西方古典艺术的辉煌，从而提高自身的文化修养。篇二：古希腊罗马神话读书报告

《古希腊罗马神话》读书报告 20114206 孙嘉潞 希腊神话主要是歌颂英雄的事迹，但同时也深深地揭露和批判了人性的丑恶。当然也描绘了一个个栩栩如生的人物，鲜明的人物性格也正是它的亮点所在，庄严又爱嫉妒的赫拉，温柔却又胆小的德墨忒尔，智慧却又寡语的雅典娜等等。一个个鲜活的生命跃然纸上，以最美丽的姿态，诉说着那段曾经的辉煌；那段神庙里的高歌。在这个神话的世界里，神的力量占据着统治地位。马克思曾说，希腊的神话和史诗是人类童年时代发展的最完美的产物，具有永久的魅力。

古希腊罗马神话，说是神话，但其中的众神却是极富有人性的，这也使人更有兴趣读这本书，毕竟，有谁喜欢呆板的一成不变的神呢？

在这么多的故事中，我最喜欢的是伊阿宋取金羊毛的故事。其中的女主角美狄亚背叛父亲，而后因为伊阿宋的背叛而做出了更加凶残的举动。虽然凶残，甚至让人难以原谅和理解，但却是敢爱敢恨的真性情。这个故事很好的凸显了人性的善恶的矛盾。如此激烈的冲突大概也只能在古希腊罗马神话中见到吧。虽然神话主要是歌颂英雄的事迹，但同时也借此深深地揭露和批判了人性的丑恶。神话中的众神，之所以有喜怒哀乐，拥有人的一切感情，正是因为他们是人创造的。正是这样，我们可以说，是人创造了神，不是神创造了人。篇三：希腊神话读后感英文 in the first chapter, it mainly talked about the prometheus, who was only seed of the ancient god family that exiled by zeus.he is intelligent and wise, created human beings according to the god’s appearance, and stuffs they need.all prometheus did was caused zeus’ envy, and stole fire make him tied in the mountain and pecked by the eagle sent by zeus.then the story begins from here.whatever the zeus, the main god and also has abundant emotions, just like man.and his wife hera is the daughter of cronus, and in charge of the family and marriage, she has a strong jealous heart, killing and revenge filled with the world, killing cause vengeance, vengeance and repetitive killing.even god also exist human selfishness and ugly.zeus in this aspect reflects particularly special.although he is the lord of the gods, but there is no that kind of emperor feeling who should behave.he is infatuated with worldly woman, or incarnation spirit beast, or incarnation, handsome, close to lure beautiful woman, everywhere leave merry seed.the woman knew that he was the lord of all gods besides accept this destiny, can still how to do? nothing.zeuss wife hera jealousy extremely heavy.as the same victims for the women, she not only did not give enough sympathy, but resent and revenge in their body, as if someone else is seduce her husband not her husband cheat others.the unhappy or angry between this couple, directly caused the pain of others.iraq is one of the typical victims.when zeus know he seduce the iraq things have been known by hera, he put the iraq into a cow in order not to let hera find the iraq.but it still make hera found out, she sent a servant guarded the iraq.from now on iraq cannot back to home even she has family, they cannot recognize each other even loved ones near at hand, the worst is leave their homes and the undertake the lovesickness.greek mythology to person to god has made a real show, not whitewash light, and also do not cover the darkness.not because he is a hero and cover the mean, not because he is god and conceal its hypocrisy.criticism of human nature is deeply rooted in this soil, so critical to appear deep powerful.through man’s fantasy, with a kind of involuntary artistic way processed natural and social form is made by imagination and the aid of imagination to conquer nature, control the forces of nature to visualize.so the myth is an exploration of human nature and ego and natural and self-relationship.marx said that.《希腊的神话和传说》读书报告 2012170125 吴桂文 光电工程学院 随着文明时代的开始，神话和传说时代告终。但是作为一种丰富多彩的民间口头文学的希腊神话，却为我们留下了全面而生动的记录。它反映了阶级社会前人类生活的广阔图景，也以数以千计的人物形象表现了当时的社会风貌和人类童年时代的自尊、公正、刚强、具有着不朽的魅力。

为了进一步了解古希腊的灿烂文化，我利用假期的时间，阅读了由德国作家斯威布整理编著的《希腊的神话和传说》。这本书内容丰富，情节生动，具有较强的趣味性和可读性，该书仿佛把人们带入了3000年以前的希腊古代文明，再现了欧洲爱琴海地区辉煌灿烂的上古文化和英雄辈出的“荷马时代”。这对于我们理解和研究欧洲文学、哲学、美学以及历史学等方面有很大的辅助作用。神的故事和英雄传说，是《希腊的神话和传说》两个主要部分。神的故事内容丰富多样，从宇宙的产生、人类的起源到神的家族谱系、日常生活中的七情六欲和种种行为业绩，实际上展示出来的是人类与自然作斗争的壮丽图画。

要想彻底理解希腊神话，首先要先了解新神谱系。在新神谱系中，诸神都居于俄林波斯山上，一般认为有十二主神：

宙斯：天神之父，地上万物的最高统治者。赫拉：宙斯的正妻。是女性的代表，掌管婚姻和生育。性格特征是嫉妒。

雅典娜：起初被视为女战神，后逐渐变为智慧女神和雅典城的守护女神。

阿波罗：在诗与艺术中表现为光明、青春和音乐之神，又是太阳神。

阿尔忒弥斯：月神，又是狩猎之神、妇女之神，是女性纯洁的化身。

狄俄倪索斯（又称巴古斯）：是洒神与狂饮欢乐之神。阿佛洛狄特（又称维纳斯）：爱情女神。她的忠实随从小爱神厄洛斯（又称丘比特，手持弓箭，被射中者即跌入情网）。

波赛东：海神。

哈台斯：冥王。

赫斐斯托司：火神。

阿瑞司：战神??? 十二个主神都有鲜明的性格与七情六欲。他们具有人的性格和情绪，具有超人的特殊本领。

古希腊神话的特点是，每个神都像人一样，有血有肉，有思想有情感，有职务有分工。这也正是吸引我们的原因之一。宙斯，是想象中的最高天神，身体很健壮，很威严，像皇帝、国王，能呼风唤雨，统治万民。宙斯住在奥林匹斯山上，希腊人都以宙斯为最高天神，每四年开一次奥林匹亚赛会纪念他，今天的奥运会就是源于这个典故。

在这本书里，神的形象其实既是英雄和战士的代表，又是人类想象中的神奇保护神。众神居住在希腊奥林匹克山上，他们的生活与尘世的贵族生活十分相似:他们爱享乐，好争权夺利，爱慕虚荣，很任性还有嫉妨心和报复心，有时还会溜下山去与人间的美貌男女谈情说爱，他们决不是十全十美的不食人间烟火的圣洁之神，而且，主神宙斯和大多数神都喜欢捉弄人类，显得有点邪恶，有失公正。

在神话故事中，普罗米修斯的故事最为感人。普罗米修斯是神的后裔，伊阿珀托斯之子，用泥土与河水照着神的形象塑造了人类，教给人类观察星辰、计算数目、驯服动物等生

产和生活的技能，使人类的生活变得有意义。但宙斯为奴役人类，拒绝给人类完成文明所需要的最后一物——火，普罗米修斯用茴香管把天火偷下赐予凡人，使人类进入文明时氏。这使宙斯极为恼怒，他命火神造美女潘多拉降害于人类，继之又报复普罗米修斯，用强力与暴力的链子将普罗米修斯吊在高加索山上，每天让鹫鹰啄食普罗米修斯的肝脏，白天啄去，晚上又长出来，使他永远感到痛苦。普罗米修斯坚强不屈，宁愿忍受3万年的痛苦，也没向宙斯屈服，过了许多世纪，大力士赫拉克勒斯取金苹果路过此地，将他释放。

英雄传说有许多故事系统，基本上都是以一个英雄的家族为中心，所叙述的是神与人所生的后代在与自然作斗争过程中的英勇业绩。这些英雄人物大都具有刚强、勇敢的精神，充满智慧和力量。

赫拉克勒斯力大无究，在摇篮里就捏死了来伤害他的两条毒蛇。他成年时，“堕落的享受”（又叫“幸福”）和“美德”同时向他抬手，他坚定地选择了“美德”。“美德”之路坎坷不平，荆棘重重，赫拉克勒斯不畏艰险，迎难而上。他征服了凶猛的涅墨亚狮子；杀死了危害人类的九头怪兽许德拉??他的英雄业绩，感动了美神雅典娜，她让赫拉克勒斯由人变神，长生不老。提修斯英勇善战，富有智慧和仁爱之心；俄狄浦斯爱国爱民，为救民于瘟疫而自责自励，死而后已。这些英雄高贵的人格，在人们心中极受珍视，他们永远是人类的光辉典范。

希腊神话艺术地反映了古代希腊人对自然和社会的认识，表达了他们对美好生活水平的热爱和向往。在文学艺术上，希腊神话具有天真美丽的幻想和清新质朴的风格，它的艺术魅力永存。

希腊神话是古希腊人民口头创作的民间文学。由于那时生产力水平低下，人们无法科学地解释默默的自然现象以及人与人之间、人与自然之间的关系，于是用幻想的故事来阐释它们。如《潘多拉的匣子》这个故事，就解答了饥饿、瘟疫、水灾等自然灾害的来历；《欺骗死神的人》这个故事，西斯夫用智慧三次避开了死神，可他最终还是战胜不了死神，这个故事暗示人类：人类有时能改变自然，但最终摆脱不了自然规律的束缚。

阅读这本书，我们需要将神话和历史紧密结合起来，通过本书的介绍及自身的思考，我基本认识到：古希腊文化是欧洲文化的源泉。古希腊、古罗马文化是西方奴隶制社会文化发展的最高阶段。它对后世产生深远的影响。奴隶制经济的高度发展为古希腊、古罗马文化的繁荣奠定了基础。

众所周知，一谈起西方文化，就像西方人说的“言必称希腊”。对于西方人来说，对稍微受了一点教育、受过一定文化熏陶的人来说，你要跟他打交道，问他属于什么文化，我想，绝对多数的人会毫不犹豫地说：“我们是基督教文化”。一直到今天，尽管西方科学技术高度发达，但对于西方人来说，他仍然觉得自己是基督教文化。基督教文化之于西方就好比儒家文化之于中国一样，它已经深入骨髓了，已经成为一种文化形态，而不单单是一种宗教信仰了。而基督教文化的源头就得从希腊、罗马文化说起。希腊文化是整个西方文化的摇篮，是西方文化最早的一种文化形态。我们一旦谈起希腊文化，不管对希腊文明有多少了解，脑海里必定会浮现出我们所熟悉的那些偶像，而这些偶像又往往都是和希腊的神话有关系的。比如太阳之神阿波罗、众神之王宙斯、智慧之神雅典娜等等。可以说，希腊的神话和传说，都深深地渗透到了很多人的心中。可以说，《希腊的神话和传说》这本书是我们了解希腊文化的一个不错的工具，它保留了古希腊神话形象生动，意境优美的特色。在艺术手法上，既有浪漫主义的幻想夸张，又有现实主义的真实描写，像一幅幅反映古代劳动人民生活和斗争的色彩浓艳的风俗画，显示出丰富多彩的艺术魅力。《希腊的神话和传说》中所写的神是高度人格化的。他们具备人的思想感情，性格十分鲜明，同人一样，有爱与恨，有喜怒哀乐，时常到人间与男女谈情说爱。有时甚至好嫉妒，慕虚荣，在道德上不如人。与凡人不同之外在于他们长生不死，具有无边的法术和智慧。有着超越凡人的力量。因此说，希腊神话具有人神同形同性的特点。

总之，希腊神话和传说是人类智慧与想象的结晶，是我们解开古希腊社会历史文化之迹的一把钥匙，也是欧洲文学的源头。它们的出现，标志着人类已进入童年时代。因此，马克思称它们为“人类童年的故事”。

第二篇：希腊神话读后感英文

Greek myth story has handed down for about more than three thousand years.Brilliant and grand scenes, vivid and distinct personalities, exquisite and flexural plot, so it was overwhelmed by all over the world readers.The Greek myth story is the same as the Bible that has a comprehensive influence to the whole human religious, philosophy, thoughts, customs, natural science, literature and art.When we contact with the western culture, we will meet some literary quotation that almost comes from the Greek myth story, and almost all the classical western literary can find the plot or characters that involved or directly originated from Greek mythology.Just as the Bible we need understand, we also should know the myth stories.That not just a literary works, also a production of culture of that time and an exhibition of the social surroundings and problems of the current western countries.If we want to know western culture, we need to read this book.It is a summary about gods and heroes story of the ancient Greek nation.It mixed up the real life with the fantasies.In the first chapter, it mainly talked about the Prometheus, who was only seed of the ancient god family that exiled by Zeus.He is intelligent and wise, created human beings according to the god’s appearance, and stuffs they need.All Prometheus did was caused Zeus’ envy, and stole fire make him tied in the mountain and pecked

by the eagle sent by Zeus.Then the story begins from here.The chapter two talked about the era of the humans.The God began to create the first generation of human that is the golden generation.They lives happily and had a peaceful ending.Then god created the second generation of human with silver.They are fall into the abyss of suffering due to their immature in spirit and the wanton behavior.Zeus was angry and destroy them create the next generation called bronze.They’re rude and cruel always fighting with each other.The fourth generation was we called half-god;they’re more justice and fair.But a ancient poet who exclaim over the fifth time he lived, ‘they made by black iron, they thoroughly corrupt, completely destroyed, and is full of pain and iniquity;they anxiety and distress for day and night, no peace;God only constantly add new worry to give them.There is no hope for human but despair and pain ’.So we can conclude that the man in that time in the western they also lived very pain.Full of hatred between human beings, brothers is not honest and love each other, white-haired parents gets no respect and compassion, old man is abused.Such a painful and disappointed world.Whatever the Zeus, the main god and also has abundant emotions, just like man.And his wife Hera is the daughter of Cronus, and in charge of the family and marriage, she has a strong jealous

about whom his husband loved, she also was the symbol of the power.This phenomenon was showed by several chapters.And some chapters were talked about some heroes worshipped in that situation.So in other words, it was an ideal product of the bad social condition, was the pain people's spiritual pillar, just as the Bible.The miserable people can’t change the lives and bad conditions, but only obtains psychological comfort.Although there is no god, but we learned that the Greek myth story which reflect the culture the history and the human mental outlook is nice and eternal.It records infinite ideal and hope for the human pursuit in life, but at the same time, how much inventory of the human to strive for and spatter of tears and laughing.The Greek myth is a heavy book.Many of the characters and complex relations make the person annoyed, make a person impatient;But many appalling things and make the person feels depressive, boring, and even asphyxia.Although Greek mythology is mainly sing praise to heroes, but I think also deeply expose and criticize the ugly humanity.Greek mythology it is a treasury of knowledge for human nature criticism.Family love can be false.Today maybe still be your brother, tomorrow may become your enemy.Love is not reliable make people easy to think of perishable food, difficult to preservation for a long-term.Lusts hoodwink the

heart, killing and revenge filled with the world, killing cause vengeance, vengeance and repetitive killing.Even god also exist human selfishness and ugly.Zeus in this aspect reflects particularly special.Although he is the Lord of the gods, but there is no that kind of emperor feeling who should behave.He is infatuated with worldly woman, or incarnation spirit beast, or incarnation, handsome, close to lure beautiful woman, everywhere leave merry seed.The woman knew that he was the Lord of all gods besides accept this destiny, can still how to do? Nothing.Zeus's wife Hera jealousy extremely heavy.As the same victims for the women, she not only did not give enough sympathy, but resent and revenge in their body, as if someone else is seduce her husband not her husband cheat others.The unhappy or angry between this couple, directly caused the pain of others.Iraq is one of the typical victims.When Zeus know he seduce the Iraq things have been known by Hera, he put the Iraq into a cow in order not to let Hera find the Iraq.But it still make Hera found out, she sent a servant guarded the Iraq.From now on Iraq cannot back to home even she has family, they cannot recognize each other even loved ones near at hand, the worst is leave their homes and the undertake the lovesickness.Greek mythology to person to god has made a real show, not whitewash light, and also do not cover the darkness.Not because he is a hero and cover the mean, not because he is god and conceal its

hypocrisy.Criticism of human nature is deeply rooted in this soil, so critical to appear deep powerful.Through man’s fantasy, with a kind of involuntary artistic way processed natural and social form is made by imagination and the aid of imagination to conquer nature, control the forces of nature to visualize ".So the myth is an exploration of human nature and ego and natural and self-relationship.Marx said that.Now whatever the stories or movies both originate from the Greek myths.It not only a classical literary, but a great reference for us.We can learn not only interesting things but encyclopedic information.In the west, more or less you know about the myths, always becomes a measure for man’s education degree.Greek mythology had already become an integral part of the whole western culture shall be, and constantly affect the western social culture and the development of literature and art.Many of the plots of Greek myth now have changed to some the most basic structure of western culture.Through the interpretation of Greek mythology of the human nervous, it is laid the foundation for today’s western social moral and ethical structure.

Afterthought of “Shuang Leng Chang He”

Friendship

Recently, I read a book named „Shuang Leng Chang He‟which is written by Yu Qiuyu.There are some essays about philosophic theory of human life in this book.However, I was attractive by the essay of friendship for I was told the essence of friendship and learnt how to make friends with others.Friendship is an eternal theme we examine and explore.But what is friendship? What is the real meaning of friendship? As we know, friendship is a life-long treasure.With friends, we share our joys and tears.Friendship is not a commodity with a price, nor should we alienate our friends by questioning or judging their virtues.In traditional culture of China, most of the literary men admire the friendship between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi.They hold the point that mountain stream with a knowing ear is the luckiest thing and looking forward to this kind of friendship in their whole life.However, a bosom friend is not easy to find in the real world.It usually comes that the person is your friend today, and tomorrow would be your enemy.Even more, when a person was deceived or betrayed by his friends, he would never trust any friends.Usually, people will try their best to help their friends, even their lives when needed.However they find it hard to forgive the friend who betrayed them.Hence, how to establish friendly relationship is very important and necessary for human beings.There is a Chinese saying goes, you depend on your parents when you stay at home, and you depend on your friends when you go out.This kind of saying indicates that the importance of friends, at the same time it means the value of friends is for dependence.Therefore, will you make friends with a person who has no use for you? Or anyone helped you can become your friends? What do we expect from our friends? From my point of view, a real friend does not care your background, your wealth, your appearance.The truest friend of all is one that reads your very soul, one who is always there when needed.A real friend does not expect something from their friends or depend on his friends.Friendship is an in-depth relationship combining trust, communication, and understanding.Some people hold the idea that finding a friend is like coming home.When you come “home” to a friend, you can relax;unbosoming you pains and sorrows and you needn‟t pretend or act tough.But do not forget one point that is keeping distance between you.Most people of China are likely to ignore this kind of problem, which sometimes causes some unnecessary troubles.From my point of view, we should better keep proper distance with our friends if you want keep a stable relationship.Generally, as a Chinese, people would rather receive excessive kindness than say “NO‟‟ to their friends.In their opinion, a good friend should not turn down their friends, if this happened, their friends would be regarded that they were looked down by their friends and felt loosing face.For example, one of your friends is afraid of exam and he asks for your help during the examination.What would you do? To be or not to be? Even though you are unwilling to cheat in the exam, you still promise to offer help and endure the suffering yourself from treating.Every man alone is sincere.At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.Emerson said “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.I do not wish to treat friendship daintily, but with roughest courage.” From these words, we know that friendship is built on sincerity, and sincerity is based on equality of personality.Without sincerity and equality of personality, people will not trust others and make friends with others in heart.In addition to this, Aristotle also said that wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.Maybe it only takes one second time to be friends, but you will spend more time to establish friendly relationships.Pure friendship without judgment can enrich our life.We have our own judgments on our friends according to their virtues.Though you find virtues in your friends, he was your friend before you found them.If you choose your friends on the ground that you are virtues and want virtuous company, you are no nearer to true friendship than of choosing them for commercial reasons.Though you may choose the virtuous to be your friends, they may not choose you as a friend.Nevertheless, without judgment does not mean that you should ignore what is right and wrong to support you friends without condition.Unquestioning support will bring disaster finally.From this article, people may feel that it is not easy to find a real friend.In fact the problem is we require too much from friendship, such as the sense of belonging, obligation and other virtues.If we get rid of this kind of demand and fetter, we will understand the friendship clearly and enjoy it completely.Friendship is just like a seed which we should look after carefully.Cherish is a virtue.A friend is a friend;you should cherish the relationship maintain it with hearts.What‟s more, we should

learn how to keep distance, how to keep the independence of spirit and personality;learn to distinguish what is right and what is wrong and make the exact choice.Person whom possesses his own idea and character would win the real friendship.Last but not least, no matter how eager we are to make friends with others, we should not forget the point, that is, action is one of the best ways of expression of your sincerity.Beautiful words do not give any sense.An action is better than thousands words.2011年 3月20日

IV.Comments on the book

1.What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book?(≥50words)

Although Austen’s theme is narrow, the story is quite dull, but she is good at

shape distinctive characters in ordinary daily things.Whether Elizabeth and Darcy that the author thinks should be positive character, or Collins this kind of being the object of sarcasm, she presents themin a real way.At the same time, Austin’s language is after temper, she in a dialogue art exquisite humor, satire, often with funny witty language to foil character's personality.This kind of artistic

innovation made her works have their own characteristics

2.What is the part of this book that had the greatest impact on you? Why?(≥

50words)

With the revealing of the truth, Elizabeth’s prejudice on Darcy becomes deeper.Until when Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s long love letter, she experiences the fierce shock.After undergoing a period of painful and profound thought, she could not help but to shout how despicable she is。When we see the blame from heart, we find her

shortcomings and the courage that she could face herself directly.It is her bringing that plays a role;she starts to give up the bias caused by self-esteem, truly and seriously understand Darcy.Elizabeth wouldn't believe the shameless lies about

Darcy said by Han and eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice.She finally falls in love with Darcy.Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, or beautiful?(≥50words)

I think it is helpful.The different treatments and attitudes towards these marriages reflect Jane Austen’s views on marriage.It’s wrong for marriage to pursue property,money and high status.She stresses the importance of an ideal marriage and takes the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of the ideal marriage.We also learn that pride and prejudice are the very common problems and weaknesses in human’s personality.Everyone is easy to be driven by their own subjective

consciousness or other people’s wrong comments.It may cause a misunderstanding toward a thing or a person.What we should do is to avoid these weaknesses and make them under good regulation.Everything must be based on objective sense and commented with a deeper understanding.1.If you could talk to the author, what would you say?(≥50words)

In this great book, you amply demonstrates your point about love and marriage.And you let me know that at that time, according to the social conditions in

Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical.And in the 19th

century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society.There was no equality.between woman and man.Women were

considered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity.Now

through this book I find the courage to show ourselves.What did you learn about yourself as a result of reading this book?(≥50words)Thank you.after reading your book I form a positive attitiud to the marrige.now, I thinklove and marriage only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding and true love, but also by satirizing the marriage founded on the basis of origin and desire.The marriage based on social position and money can’t bring happy life.3.Note down five useful expressions you learned from your reading and make

[Sentence you made]: I remember hearing you once say , that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable

5)[Useful expression](p.292)Elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a slight inclination of the head.[Sentence you made]: However, because they don’t have the emotional tools to integrate the hurt caused by abusive adults, they often repress their feelings as their first line of defence.General remarks:(≥200words)

The writer Jane Austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of marriage and love through describing the different ways in which the Bennet girls doing with their marriage problems, and this undoubtedly shows the writer’s idea about love and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.Jane Austen just attached great

significance to marriage through her novel by telling people that marriage should be regarded carefully because it is not a game you could just enjoy without prudent

consideration.She also wanted to deliver information that marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.The female subject Elizabeth is a mid-class girl, and Darcy proposed to her regardless of the gap between them, but Elizabeth refused

because of his pride had formed Eli’s prejudice.Cause Darcy’s pride was a suggest of status gap between he and Eli, he wouldn’t have the same thought with Eli and

consequently the ideal marriage.But later Darcy’s doings especially his change of the prideful manner eliminated Eli’s misunderstandings and prejudice about him, and Eli accepted his proposal.Those two opposite attitudes reflect females pursue of

independent personality and equality.I think Elizabeth has personality ethic which caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence she earned a happy life.There’re also Eli’s sisters’ love stories served as contrasts to the female subject’s ideal marriage, such as Charlotte and Collin’s life: they do had a luxury life, but there’s noreal love between them and this kind of marriage is surely a tragedy of society.(_270_ Words)
