　　老人与海读后感英文版[由整理]

　　When I was a middle school student， I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English，I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least， for my part， that is true.

　　Firstly，I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background，major characters and the topic of it.

　　The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway， written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works， it centers upon Santiago， an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

　　The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingway's literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Its publisher， Scribner's， on an early dust jacket， called the novella a "new classic，" and many critics favorably pared it with such works as William Faulkner's "The Bear" and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.

　　This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

　　In this book， in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it， Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ， who， according to Christian theology， gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line， the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later， when the sharks arrive， Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr， saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore， the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway empl

　　oys these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ， who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain， defeat into triumph， and even death into renewed life.

　　The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

　　Santiago?，the old man of the novella’s title， Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise， he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble， yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures， and of his craft， is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

　　The marlin?，Santiago hooks the marlin， which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet， on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?，a boy presumably in his adolescence， Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck， Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin， however， still cares deeply for the old man， to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

　　Joe DiMaggio， although DiMaggio never appears in the novel， he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and mitment， and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?，Perico， the reader assumes， owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel， but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

　　Martin，like Perico， Martin， a café owner in Santiago’s village， does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin， who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says， Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

　　From the very first paragraph， Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle， the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin， tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight， and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey， even though he knows the battle is useless.

　　Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea， some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world， but the novella is， more accurately， the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride， honor， and bravery， and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore， where it will inevitably meet the hawk， the world is filled with predators， and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world， death is inevitable， but the best men （and animals） will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly， man and fish will struggle to the death， just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catc

　　h.

　　The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact， the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed， a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight， just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago， though destroyed at the end of the novella， is never defeated. Instead， he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather， it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

　　While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman， and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster， Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary， Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride， and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat， pride bees the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride， that battle would never have been fought， or more likely， it would have been abandoned before the end.

　　Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel， no matter how baleful his circumstances bee， the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives， Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact， his moment of glory， like the marlin’s meat， would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues es not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

　　Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition， the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin， and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact， the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth， the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally， because Santiago imagines the lions， fierce predators， playing， his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death， love and hate， destruction and regeneration—of nature.

　　This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream，and never say give up .

　　老人与海英文读后感(4):

　　I have read many books， which I learned a lot of knowledge， let me know a lot of truth in life， including a book， let me experience a deep， it is a famous writer Ernest Hemingway wrote， "Hits." 我读过许多书，它们让我学到了许多知识，也让我懂得了许多做人的道理，其中有一本书，让我体会很深，它就是著名作家海明威写的《老人与海》。

　　"Hits" This book talked about such a story， old fisherman Santiago de Cuba consecutive 84 days did not catch the fish， was another loser as a fisherman， but he was persistent， and finally caught a big marlin large Marlins his boat dragged on for three days at sea， exhausted， was tied to the boat he was killed on one side， and then Return Journey repeatedly been shark attacks， he has exhausted all means to counterattack. Back to Hong Kong only the head and a fish tail spine. Although the fish have bitten gone， but what can not destroy the will of his bravery. This book reveals to us a truth: people are not born to fail， and a person can be destroyed， but can not be defeated. 《老人与海》这本书讲了这么一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看做失败者，但是他坚持不懈，最后钓到了1条大马林鱼，大马林鱼将他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，再归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，他用尽了一切手段来反击。回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和1条脊骨。尽管鱼肉都被咬去了，但什么也无法摧残他的英

　　勇意志。这本书向咱们揭示了这样一个真理：人不是为了失败而生的，一个人能够被毁灭，但不能被打败。

　　Before I do anything as long as there is one point does not work well， they will retreat， and sometimes even say a few words dejected to say. In learning， I have a few tests as long as there is not very good there will be no confidence that their getting good grades. "Hits"， the hero fighting with the shark， shark harpoon was taken away， he put the knife blade tied to tie chaos. Knife broke， he used truncheons. Batons have lost， and he used the rudder to e to play. This book reveals the truth， not to explain a man no matter what my greatest fear is the lack of confidence. Confidence is like a motor car， is a human motivation. If you do one thing with the confidence， you mean half the battle. The hero in this book are full of confidence and perseverance， not exactly what I indispensable? 以前，我做什么事只要有一点不顺利，就会退缩，有时还会说上几句垂头丧气的话。在领悟上，我只要有几次考试不是很理想就没有信心，认为自我考不到好成绩。《老人与海》中，主人公与鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了，他把小刀绑在桨把上

　　乱扎。刀子折断了，他用短棍。短棍也丢掉了，他用舵把来打。这本书揭示出的真理，不就说明了人无论怎样，最怕的就是没有信心。信心就好比是汽车的马达，是人前进的动力。如果你做一件事有了信心，你就等于成功了一半。这本书中主人公充满信心、锲而不舍的精神，不正是我所缺少的吗？

　　Since reading this book， I know that his lack of learning is no longer due to a loss of confidence in the two do not go well， but more poorly in an exam， the more to be a good test. In the final exam the day， the morning two homework results， I do not have a certain class of students is good， but I admit defeat， but confidence that the determination to fight a turnaround. Language examinations in the afternoon， I have done every Road topics are especially careful. Sure enough， I was class of the first language examinations， total score， I am also a first. 自从读了这本书之后，我知道了自我的不足，领悟上不再正因一两次不顺利而失去信心，而是越考不好，就越要考好。在期末考试的那一天，上午的两门功课成绩，我没有班里的某一个同学好，但是我并不服输，反而信心倍增，决心打一个翻身仗。下午的语文考试，我做每一道题目都格外仔细。果然，我语文考试是班里的第一名，总成绩上，我也是第一名。

　　In the future， I do not care what difficulties we encountered， we must face with confidence， persist in the end， and never retreat. I want to thank the book， for which I have learned so much， thank it for me to understand so many reasons， for it let me know his own shortings and correct their shortings in time， so I became a socially useful people. 今后，我不管遇到什么困难，都要信心十足地去应对，坚持到底，决不退缩。我要感谢书，感谢它让我学到了那么多知识，感谢它让我懂得了那么多道理，感谢它让我知道自我的不足，及时改正自我的缺点，使我成为一个对社会有用的人。

　　"Hits"， the lonely old fisherman Santiago has been not only be tough guy， his spiritual values embodied in the body is entirely the spirit of the ancient Greek tragedy， a modern echo. In the "Hits"， the Hemingway finally for his beloved tough guy to find the soul， this soul is everlasting eternal values of mankind. Thus， in the "Hits"， the tough-guy character of Santiago's fortitude has bee the novel's surface. By Santiago tough-guy character to praise the eternal values of mankind， became the real theme of the novel. "Hits" and demonstrated what eternal value?

　　《老人与海》中，孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥已经不仅仅仅是条硬汉，他身上所体现的精神价值，完全是古希腊杯具精神的现代回响。在《老人与海》中，海明威最后为他所钟爱的硬汉找到了灵魂，这灵魂就是人类亘古不变的永恒价值。因此，在《老人与海》中，硬汉桑提亚哥的刚毅性格，已经成为小说的表面。透过桑提亚哥硬汉性格来礼赞人类的永恒价值，才成为小说的真正主题。《老人与海》中展现了哪些永恒的价值呢？

　　The first is people's self-confidence. Santiago consecutive 84 days at sea， and did not catch a fish. However， the "pair of eyes， ah， like water， like blue， is happy， not depressed." Originally to follow Santiago on fishing expeditions children， spoke of his father called him to the other boat and said， : "He did not much self-confidence." "Yes." the old man said， "But we have， you say is not it?" 首先就是人的自信。 桑提亚哥连续出海八十四天了，1条鱼也没捕到。但是，“那双眼睛啊，像海水一样蓝，是愉快的，毫不沮丧的。”原先跟随桑提亚哥出海捕鱼的小孩，谈到他父亲把他叫到别的船上去，说道：“他没多大的自信。”“是的。”老头儿说，“但是咱们有，你说是不是？” Santiago in self-confidence is absolute self-confidence， is not to environmental change and changes in self-confidence， it does not pare with others， self-confidence. In Santiago's philosophy of existence， even when confronted with a pole of the unlucky people can only self-confidence. 桑提亚哥的自信是绝对自信，是不以环境变化而变化的自信，是不用与他

　　人比较的自信。在桑提亚哥的生存哲学中，即使遭遇到了极点的背运，人也只能自信。 People alive， the only way to determine the necessity， that is， to death. In addition， there is no bound to what can rely on. Since the person is alive by chance， then the courage to support human life， the only confident. If we lose self-confidence， in the continuing unlucky so many days after the Santiago there is the courage and perseverance on fishing expeditions do? Therefore， people live to be confident， not self-confidence is for human consumption can not afford luxury. It is precisely because Santiago had an absolute self-confidence， he was called away to the children to express a plete tolerance and understanding. Here， Hemingway has demonstrated the link between self-confidence and tolerance. "Hits" in the main space， describing the lonely old fisherman Santiago， in the open sea and in large marlin and a variety of sharks entangled， fought for three days and three nights experience. By Hemingway fullest descri

　　ption， we felt the Santiago desperate struggle with the fate of the heroic and noble. Last drag home for the elderly only a 18 feet-long fish skeleton， the only plete skeleton is the head and beautiful fish tail. 人活着，唯一能确定的必然，就是走向死亡。除此之外，没有任何必然的东西能够依靠。既然人是靠偶然活着的，那么支撑人生存勇气的，就只有自信了。如果丧失了自信，在持续那么多天的背运之后，桑提亚哥还有勇气和毅力出海捕鱼吗？因此人活着就务必自信，不自信是人消费不起的奢侈品。正正因桑提亚哥有着绝对自信，他对小孩被叫走，表示了完全的宽容和明白。在那里，海明威展现了自信与宽容之间的联系。《老人与海》的主要篇幅，是描述孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥，在茫茫大海上和大马林鱼和各种鲨鱼纠缠、搏斗了三天三夜的经历。透过海明威淋漓尽致的描述，咱们充分感受到了桑提亚哥与命运作殊死抗争的悲壮与崇高。老人最后拖回家的只是一副十八英尺长的鱼的骨架，骨架上唯一完整的是鱼头和漂亮的鱼尾巴。 From the physical point of view， elderly people fought for three days and three nights a result of failure; but the human spirit， from the person's self-confi

　　dence self-esteem， courage and destiny from the human to make every effort to struggle for victory Santiago . 从物质上来说，老人搏斗了三天三夜的结果是失败了；但从人的精神、从人的自信自尊，从人勇于和命运作竭尽全力的抗争来说，桑提亚哥取得了胜利。 After all， the true victory can only be a triumph of the spirit. No matter who made much material success， they can not win our respect and thanks. Only the spirit and the spirit of victory， it moves us， that we have to follow the elderly and children， for his tragic tears. 说到底，人的真正胜利也只能是精神的胜利。人在物质上无论取得多大的成就，都不能赢得咱们崇高的敬意。而只有精神和气魄的胜利，才使咱们感动，才使咱们和追随老人的孩子一样，为他的悲壮落泪。
