“一艘船越过世界的尽头,驶向未知的大海,船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜,旗帜上,舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限!”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。

《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫,独自一个人出海打鱼,在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大,拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜,老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验,终于把大鱼刺死,拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说:“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”,“人尽可以被毁灭,但却不能被打败。”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。不可否认,只要是人就都会有缺陷。当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候,无论最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼还是一副空骨架,这都已经无所谓了,因为一个人的生命价值已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了。曾经为自己的理想努力追求过、奋斗过,难道他不是一个胜利者吗?老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。

从世俗胜利观的角度看,老渔夫不是最后的胜利者,因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼,但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了,他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上,也就是说,鲨鱼才是胜利者。可是,在理想主义者眼里,老渔夫就是胜利者,因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁,但我不能被征服”。 人性是强悍的,人类本身有自己的限度,但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战,超越它们,这个限度才一次次扩大,一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。在这个意义上,老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄,不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败,都是值得我们永远敬重的。 因为,他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信!

我非常钦佩老人那种毫不畏惧、坚持不懈的精神,虽然知道对手实力很强,但他没有丝毫退缩,而是迎难而上。正因为有了这种精神,老渔夫才获得了这场生死较量的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神,做事情不怕困难,才能取得成功。 在读到大鱼的血腥味被一群鲨鱼嗅到了,争相游来抢食,老人的左手正好在抽筋,他只能使用右手,用木棒、捕到的剑鱼的嘴等一切可以用来攻击的武器自卫,并最终赶走了这群鲨鱼。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半,而老人还风趣地批评自己的左手“该工作的时候却在休息”的时候,我也被老人乐观的精神所折服。在生活中,有些损失是不可避免的,我们应该以乐观的态度来对待,不能斤斤计较。

看《老人与海》这本节的时候,我会经常性的感觉到老人仿佛是海中一条久经沙场的大鱼,也许这样的形容不准确,或者说老人就是海,可却是历尽沧桑的海。老人的眼睛如文中所提一样,时间在变老,可那双眼睛却像海水一样蓝,是愉快的,毫不沮丧的。 老人与小孩都时常用谎言去修饰那穷迫的生活,小孩对老人的尊重甚至充满了崇拜,他对老人的信心有增无减,并不断地激励他、照顾他。我有时在想,老人就像一条大鱼,虽然身疲力尽,可是绝不向大海和渔人屈服。老人的身体、力量在逐渐缩小,可老人那长年积累的经验和技巧促使他存有信心,能捕捉到大鱼的信心。 老人始终做着与别人不同的事,他做的是别人敢想而不敢做的事,虽然有许多人不理解他,可他照样做。老人在海中经历了太多的事,当他捕到一条大青花鱼的时候,也兴奋的嚷了起来,经过两个多月来,他没有捕到一条鱼的事实,他开始自言自语,在海上交谈是一件不好的事情,这仿佛成了所有出海的渔人之间的一种品德,可老人却由于孤单也许有其他的外在因素,促成老人嚷出了自己心中的话,老人渴望遇见走失的鱼群,因为大鱼肯定会在其中,老人在八十五天的时候用大青花鱼做为诱饵,太阳在他的脑后,海岸远离了他,在他的视眼里有的只有一片一望无际的海与那青青的山。

《老人与海》是一本能让人了解,什么才是真正的人生,什么才是坚强的书,一本实实在在的好书。在现实生活中,我们会不断地受到挫折、失败还有许多负面的情绪,许多人因此而消极、失去对生活的热爱。而《老人与海》却刻画出一个与大海搏斗,在艰难的环境下,奋力生活的老渔夫。大家应该记得,在书中提到过,老人的渔船上那破旧的帆布,就像是一面失败的旗帜,仿佛在宣告着老人永远都捕不到鱼的倒霉运气。但是,他没有放弃,仍然出海捕鱼。而在现实中,某些人却不能坚持,面对挫折就选择了放弃,选择了逃避。和那已经生活窘迫的老渔夫相比,那些逃避的人真的是不知道什么才是挫折。我们可能会因为考试的失利,而对自己失去信心。或者因为别人的批评,而自暴自弃。在那时候,想想这个坚强的老渔夫,他是如何面对生活的。自己的心,自然就会释然许多。

 

第二篇:《老人与海》英语读书报告《The old man and the sea》

The Old Man and the Sea

Nowadays I have read a book called The Old Man and the Sea. This novel written by Hemingway told us a story about an old man whose name is Santiago. It was one of Hemingway’s most famous novels and helped Hemingway made great achievement in his literature career. What’s more, this book was published by YILIN PRESS in April 1, 2007.

The hero of The Old Man and the Sea was a senior fisherman who called Santiago. He was ordinary but brave and great. Whatever the weather, he had to fish to make a living. His life was very hard, but he never gave up. Santiago faced his life positively and lived well by himself. Fortunately, he was not lonely because of the company of a little boy. The cute boy’s name was Manolin. In Manolin’s heart, this old fisherman was not only a hero, but also his idol. He treated Santiago very well and often helped him. Though Manolin’s parents prevented him staying with Santiago, this little boy didn’t do this. He still chose to accompany and learn from the senior fisherman, who was a hero in his eyes. He believed that Santiago was a good fisherman and he could obtain some knowledge from him.

I think that we should also learn from Santiago due to his great spirit. Although he was very poor, he was still confident enough to overcome all the difficulties in his life. His body was weak, but his mind was strong. For about 84 days, Santiago hadn’t got any fishes. However, he didn’t stop trying. He just made good preparation and set out in the 85th day. Through the 3-day fight, the old fisherman got the first fish in those 88 days. It was a big marlin fish. Seeing it, Santiago was quite tired out but also excited. Unexpectedly, after he made the big marlin fish surrender, he met across some big and fierce sharks. Those sharks wanted to eat the big marlin fish too. Certainly, Santiago wouldn’t allow it happen. Facing those terrible sharks, Santiago wasn’t afraid. He fought against them bravely. Finally, those sharks ate the meat of the big marlin fish, just leaving the bone of the big marlin fish to the old man.

Maybe someone would regard Santiago as a loser, but from my point of view, Santiago didn’t lose. He was a hero and his spirit would exit in people’s heart forever. 

Nowadays, more and more people lack the spirit of bravery and insistence. That was what we should learn from the old man. Santiago was quite aware of the trouble he would get into. He just tried his best to solve it, though. So, in fact, he was a real winner. We ought to set the senior fisherman as an example. Santiago was worthy to be learned by Manolin. The little boy’s choice was right and sensible.

As far as I am concerned, whatever and whenever difficulty we may come across, we shouldn’t be scared. First, we ought to calm down and be confident and rational to face it. Second, trying our best to find the appropriate way to settle the problem is very important. Third, whatever the result will be, we just work hard to realize it as possible, or we may regret. Only in this way, can we succeed and make more achievements in the future.
