⑴ 求企鹅英语《王子与贫儿》梗概
《王子与贫儿》是美国作家马克·吐温的代表作[1]。它描写王子爱德华和贫儿汤姆通过一个阴差阳错的偶在机会互相换了位置,王子变成了贫儿,贫儿成了王子。贫儿汤姆穿着王子的衣服在王宫里尽享荣华富贵,还当上了英国的新国王。而真正的王子爱德华却在外四处流浪,不得不忍受贫穷和乞丐们的欺凌和嘲讽。在好人霍顿的帮助下,爱德华王子经历了重重劫难,改正了自己的坏习惯,最后终于回到了王宫。而贫儿汤姆在良心的谴责下,将不属于自己的王位还给了真正的王子。此后,爱德华成了一位仁慈的君主,和他的子民一起过着幸福的生活。故事的想像极其丰富、语言幽默风趣,在带给儿童快乐的同时,能极大地激发儿童的想像力和对纯洁、善良、美好事物的向往。
这篇小说是以16世纪的英国为背景,描写一个贫苦儿童汤姆和一个富贵王子爱德华交换社会地位的童话式故事。 贫儿汤姆从小过着衣不蔽体、食不果腹的贫困生活,幻想着自己能有一天当上富贵的王子,而爱德华因厌倦死板、空虚的宫廷生活,也幻想着能到民间尝尝作贫儿的滋味。于是有一天,他们交换了身份,开始了新的生活。 通过这个童话情节,小说首先用鲜明的对比手法,展现了劳动人民生活的极端艰难困苦和统治阶级生活的极端豪华奢侈。在此同时,小说还鲜明地表明了人生生来平等的民主主义思想和环境决定人物性格的唯物主义观念。 汤姆并非天生就只能当贫儿,爱德华也不是生来就只能当王子,全部的不同只在服饰和地位。爱德华就曾跟汤姆说:“要是我们光着身子走出去,谁也分不清哪个是你,哪个是我!”的确,当贫儿穿上王子衣服时,大家都把他当成王子;而爱德华穿上贫儿衣服后,大家便认定他是贫儿,这里既没有什么“天生富贵”,也没有什么“天赋王权”,问题的关键只在穿什么服饰和处在什么地位。 不仅如此,汤姆在穿上王子衣服,被人推上王位后,便立即颁发仁慈的法律,释放无罪的囚犯,否定封建法律的荒谬,指责宗教裁判所的草菅人命,成了被万民拥戴的开明君主。而爱德华在穿上贫儿衣服后,也能在重新当上国王时废止酷刑,昭雪冤狱,颁布新法,以改善人民的处境。这是他俩突然心血来潮或良心复苏吗?不,这是环境对人物性格的客观影响,是健康、朴素的人民生活对人的改造作用。汤姆从人民中来,健康、朴素的人民生活使他从小就具有善良、正直的品质和同情苦难、嫉恶如仇的性格。而爱德华从王宫走到人民中去以后,受人民生活的影响,也逐渐具有了跟统治者截然不同的品质和性格。 最后还有一点,小说虽然取材于16世纪英国,但读者从小说所描写的人民大众的苦难生活,很自然会联想到19世纪七八十年代美国劳动人民的艰难处境;从小说所描写的统治者的为所欲为,很自然会联想到当时美国资产阶级政府的专横欺诈;从汤姆和爱德华交换身份后的思想言行,也很自然会联想到深刻的种族歧视。因此,小说虽然取材于16世纪英国,但其批评的矛头是指向19世纪的美国。
误会和交换身份,就是这一部童话的主要情节,而这看似俗套的设置,却在马克.吐温笔下显出了隐含的光辉。这篇读后感,语言质朴平实,从手法、思想和社会背景三方面阐述了作者意图,笔风简洁,眼光犀利,是本不错的好书。
⑵ 求《王子与贫儿》的英语版的读后感,一百字左右,语法正确,必须原创
今天,我读了一本美国著名作家马克·吐温写的代表作品——《王子与贫儿》。
Today, I read the book"The Prince and the Pauper",a popular novel writen by a famous American author Mark Twian.
故事是这样的:它描写王子爱德华和贫儿汤姆通过一个阴差阳错的偶在机会互相换了位置,王子变成了贫儿,贫儿成了王子。
The story describes a prince, Edward and a pauper,Tom changed their position ocassionally.The prince became a pauper while the pauper became the prince.
贫儿汤姆穿着王子的衣服在王宫里尽享荣华富贵,还当上了英国的新国王。
The pauper Tom worn a prince's clothes in the palace and became the new king of the Great Britain.
而真正的王子爱德华却在外四处流浪,不得不忍受贫穷和乞丐们的欺凌和嘲讽。
And the true prince Edward can not be a true king.He had to live with poor people and beggers.
在好人霍顿的帮助下,爱德华王子经历了重重劫难,改正了自己的坏习惯,最后终于回到了王宫。
Under the help of a good man,Hoton,prince Edward changed his bad habit and finally went back to the palace.
而贫儿汤姆在良心的谴责下,将不属于自己的王位还给了真正的王子。此后,爱德华成了一位仁慈的君主,和他的子民一起过着幸福的生活。
And pauper Tom felt very sorry and had to leave. The real prince became the real king.Finally, Edward became a good king and live with his people happily.
读了这本书后,我想到了以前从未想过的:人在任何时候,都不可能使自己的生活十全十美,做什么事都有利有弊,因为所有事情都是相对的:你拥有了这样,就必须放弃另一样。而且,我还感受到人不论是在荣华富贵中,还是在贫困交加中,都要本着一颗善良的心,为大家,为别人做好事!
After reading this book,I thought a lot which I never thought before:people couldn't make their life be perfect in any time.Any thing we do has both good results and bad results,because all things are connected:if you choose one thing,you have to give up another thing.Besides, i feel that we should have a kind heart,no matter when we rich or poor and make many good things to others.
