The Million Pound Note

Written by mark twain, the million pound note tells about a notion that money is superior to everything and I thought that it also showed reliance need to be strengthened in this modern society. In the story, a poor but honest man accidentally received a million pounds from a pair of brothers who had made a bet that if a poor but honest man would have one million pounds what the end he would get. One hold the view that he would starve to death because he would not prove the pounds to public that money is his and the bank would not help him. On the contrary, the little brother insisted that the young man would live a good life with one million pounds. Then the young man began his ridiculous but comfortable, rich life. As a result, he safely had a good life and gained a romantic love.

It sounds ridiculous in the real life, as no one would give one strange such a large number of money securely. So I think the pair of brothers believed in the young man and the young man kept his promise at the end. Nowadays, the confidence and trust between person and person are feeble. We had a survey about confidence and trust in the street. We gave some people bottles of water in the street. Different people have different reflect. Old people and children would receive water in a pleased smile. Young adult would say in a appreciated tone and rejected accepting it. They must think we have something poisonous into the

water and they would be cheated. It showed that the relationship between people have become more and more feeble. As the development of society and economy, walls of hearts have become thicker. Brothers and the honest man set a good example for us. It is no delay to rebuild the good faith system.

When the young man came to a small tailor-shop, he asked if they had a misfit suit that had been thrown on their hands. The fellow he spoke to nodded his head towards another fellow, and gave him no answer. he went to the indicated fellow, and he indicated another fellow with his head, and no words. he went to the fellow, and he said:" 'Tend to you presently." The young man waited till he was done with what he was at, then he took the man into a back room, and overhauled a pile of rejected suits, and selected the rattiest one for him. so he didn't find any fault on the new clothes, but said, with some diffidence:" It would be an accommodation to me if you could wait some days for the money. I haven't any small change about me." The fellow worked up a most sarcastic expression of countenance, and said: "Oh, you haven't? Well, of course, I didn't expect it. I'd only expect gentlemen like you to carry large change." It shows that almost everyone in the society thinks highly of appearance at the first sight. Although the appearance is not the decisive element in doing something but at least it can help us leave a good impression on

others. There are many funny scene in the story. the young man gave them a cheque for charge ,the fellow guy received it with a smile, one of those large smiles which goes all around over, and has folds in it, and wrinkles, and spirals, and looks like the place where you have thrown a brick in a pond; and then in the act of his taking a glimpse of the bill this smile froze solid, and turned yellow, and looked like those wavy, wormy spreads of lava which you find hardened on little levels on the side of Vesuvius. I never before saw a smile caught like that, and perpetuated. We found it humorous to imagine the fellow’s expression, from large smile to shock with a mouth open. Then the boss asked the young man to try the fashion clothes in his shop, and bring him so many good clothes and told him when he paid for them depends on him. a notion that money is superior to everything is obviously revealed in this. A poor man can be treated as a royal because of a piece of irredeemable cheque. Besides, in the bobbs hotel, the manager drove off the real royal and made a new decoration in that luxurious bedroom for the man who owned a 500million pounds in cheque. But when the cheque was lost, everyone doubled whether the young man had had the million cheque, and the managers who allowed him to pay his bill whenever he wanted began asking him to pay his huge bill. It is so realistic. Money was over everything in the world except in this modern society. Only through demonstrating money can we have

our states in this money-oriented society. It has become a trend to through money to show our state. In the end the little brother won the bet. Not only did the young man have a good life during 30days, but get a beautiful wife and have much more money.

The Million Pound Note is worth to read.

 

第二篇：百万英镑观后感

百万英镑观后感

我怀着激动的心情在语文课上再次重温了一下《百万英镑》。

很多人渴望着有金钱,这并非是个错误,但是拥有太多的钱往往也会带来很多的麻烦.而电影《百万英镑》正是讲述了一个贫穷、诚实的人，也就是这个故事的主人公亨利?亚当斯在收取了一对兄弟的信之后带来的与其说是幸福还不如说是麻烦.因为在信里面送给了他一百万英镑。原来这对兄弟打了一个赌，赌如果一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑，他会有怎样的结果？哥哥认为他就这样继续潦倒下去,直至饿死，因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的.弟弟则认为他会过得很好，于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的支票借给了这个贫穷的人，并出国呆了三十天。谁也没有想到，你身边周遭的人对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁，竟然拼命地拉拢他，巴结他.所以亨利?亚当斯也在无缘无故的得到了大家所给予的一切,从刚开始免费吃饭，买衣服，然后再到免费住宿，他被人们不断的抬高身份,每个人对他就像仆人对主人一样.电影最后，虽然亨利?亚当斯归还了那张百万英镑的支票,但是最后如他从两兄弟那儿所愿得到了一份很好的工作并且意外的得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息.

看完整部电影,我不得不思考,到底是什么东西驱使那些人臣服于亨利,难道是他的个人魅力吗?显然不是,只是因为亨利有钱,是个难得一见的百万富翁,仅此而已.在那个时代,那个社会,人们都奉行着“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的”的理论,而亨利意外的获得却让他们都望尘莫及,人人都蜂拥般的涌向他,想进一切办法靠近他,只因为他手里有张百万英镑的支票.那张百万英镑的支票到了最

后已经不是钱的问题了,它的价值远远超过钱,而是地位和虚荣的象征和代表.

当人们都用“敬仰”的目光注视着亨利时,确切的说是敬仰那张支票时,那张百万英镑的支票却找不到了,人们开始怀疑猜测,近乎疯狂的用愤怒的言语吼叫着,他们指责着亨利,咒骂着嘎该死的骗子.可是当亨利重获那张支票的时候,势利的人们却又俯首称臣.这个恐怖的资本主义社会,在拜金主义的充斥下,人们都显得麻木不仁.也许亨利自己都没有想到怎么去利用那张支票,但是是人们的嘴脸让那张支票的价值发挥到了及至,那是对资本主义社会最大的讽刺.

我在想钱真的很重要吗?以说我，货币只是一张纸，一位数额，一张卡。而人们对货币的反应才是货币价值的体现。面包是我们必须的,但是精神的东西我们更加需要.当今这个社会这种现象依然存在着,有些人为了自己的前途低声下

气的去阿谀奉承,满足自己的的虚荣心.用虚伪的嘴脸去讨好那些有钱人,甚至不惜出卖自己的人格和尊严.这些人终究是要被社会淘汰的,他们对于钱的强烈欲望会让他们的人格扭曲,最后导致犯罪的发生,伤害了自己也危害到了别人.

我们不得不记住一点,钱绝对不是万能的,金钱万能论是非常错误的.金钱能买到床铺,却买不到睡眠;金钱能买到食物,却买不到口味;金钱可以买到书本,却买不到知识??金钱的确可以满足人们的虚荣心,但是这些都是虚假的,最真实的还是人坦荡的生活.就像亨利一样,他失去了金钱,但是他依然乐观的生活着,因为对于一个积极向上的人太多的钱只是一种羁绊.我们所要做的是用一颗坦然的心对待自己的生活,自己的生活要靠自己去争取,天下没有免费的午餐,只有勤劳的人才会有收获.即使你很有钱,也不见得你肯定得到你所想要的一切.再多的钱到最后也只是在数字上的改变,其他的你将得不到什么,金钱真正的价值是你如何去拥有它,如何去利用它.

也许看完百万英镑有些人会说亨利很傻,他本可以拿着那张百万英镑过去富裕,受人羡慕的生活.但是亨利依然选择了说出真相,并且履行自己的诺言,也正是因为这样,亨利得到了一份好的工作的并且赢得了不慕名利权势追求真爱的 贝西利 小姐的芳心.难道这不是一个皆大欢喜的结局吗?
