理智与情感英文读后感
After watching the film Becoming Jane played by Anne Hathaway and reading the book Sense and Sensibility , I feel complicated because it seems that all in Jane’s life, she made a decision between sense and sensibility. The book could be regarded as her real story or someone else’s. Who knows? Love and sense are enemies at any age.
There was an important person in her career, the authoress Mrs Radeliffe whose novels were filled with romance, danger and terror, anything her life was not.
At that time, a woman’s dream of being an authoress was not so easy to come true. As if the writing a woman did not display the greatest powers of mind, knowledge of human nature, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour. And people thought having a wife with a literary reputation was nothing short of scandalous. But with an independent thought, she made it!
In her love world, there were two men. One was Tom Lefroy, a handsome, social guy but totally depending on his uncle. Another was Wisley, a booby having a respectable property of 2000a year, in addition to even greater expectations as Lady Gresham’s heir. So Tom standed for love or sensibility and Wisley standed for money or sense.
Jane didn’t believe the saying “Affection is desirable, money is absolutely indispensable.” In other words, she gave up a splendid home, a comfortable life and chose Tom. But when she found their love will destroy Tom’s family, her sense told her to make the great decision to leave him to avoid a long slow degradation of guilt and regret and blame.
What a pity she can’t marry with the one who she doesn’t love even a loved one!
In her short life, Jane Austen wrote six of the greatest novels in the English Language.
Tom Lefroy had a successful career as a lawyer and named his eldest daughter Jane.
Jane never married in her life.
第二篇:《理智与情感》读后感
今天终于把《理智与情感》看完了,怎么说呢,有一种空荡荡的感觉,有点失落。就像一个人一直在追赶某样东西,而突然之间那件东西又不见了,此时的我就是这样的感觉。
再来说说这部小说,它将爱情,亲情,友情,人心丢弃在那个社会的大背景下。虽然是喜剧的结局,却也给了人不少的压力。小说围绕埃莉诺与玛丽安两姐妹各自的“三角”爱情展开,埃莉诺爱慕爱德华,却受到嫂子的阻挠,认为他的弟弟要娶一个有财产的贵族小姐,在听到爱德华与地位甚至不及埃莉诺的露西订婚时,气的晕倒。这就是那个社会,人的价值就是用金钱衡量,爱情什么也不是。约翰夫人,明显就是一个理智有余,感情不足的典型代表。而约翰先生,更是亲情寡淡,答应亡父照顾寡母和两个妹妹,最后却为了省下金钱,将他们赶出去。张口闭口就是“钱”。爱德华明明已经与露西订婚,却又与埃莉诺暧昧,在后来给埃莉诺带来极大痛苦。而露西却又是一个狡诈的女人,在听到埃莉诺爱慕爱德华的消息时,故意与她交好,又装作对她的信任,告诉其与爱德华订婚的事实,这无疑是在埃莉诺的伤口上撒盐。露西打着友情的幌子,在埃莉诺的面前极度炫耀。而同时她也将自己的无知,势力,巧言令色展露无遗。埃莉诺固然是一个理智凌驾于感情之上的的人,她将自己的情绪控制的很好,没让家里担心,但是自己无疑是痛苦的。所以说太过理智的女孩子是很难让人心爱的,因为她令人心疼。
相反,妹妹玛丽安,一个对爱情充满着浪漫的幻想,认为人生如果没有一场浪漫的爱情是不圆满的。在她与威洛比的爱情中,她把自己所有的感情都给了他,在得知自己被抛弃后,她陷入了难以自拔的境地中,整日避开人群,躲在角落里。对于一个浪漫的女孩来说,现实无疑能使她快速成长,只有经历过痛苦,才能意识到这个世界不是她心中的象牙塔。威洛比这个人一直游手好闲,大手挥霍,最后迫于破产的压力,娶了一个有财产的姑娘。他也只不过是有一副漂亮的外表,内心却是空乏的。
故事里的所有人的人生,都是自己选择的,而他们的价值观却是在这个社会大环境的熏陶中渐渐形成的,我们是该谴责他们的无情与虚伪还是该同情他们呢?理智与情感,到底该如何选择的?
英国学者沃尔波尔有句名言,“这个世界,凭理智来领会是个喜剧,凭感情来领会是个悲剧。”单就这部小说而言,它无疑是切合主题的,但是现实生活中我却是无法苟同的。如果生活只能靠理智的约束,缺乏一时冲动的激情,那么生活会失去很多乐趣。人的生命不在于长短,在于是否痛快活过。三毛也说过,“等我长大了,我要做个拾破烂的……拾荒人眼底下的垃圾场是世界上最抚媚的花园。因为这种职业,不但可以呼吸新鲜的空气,同时又可以大街小巷的游走玩耍,一面工作一面游戏,自由快乐得如同天上的飞鸟。更重要的是,人们常常不知不觉的将许多还可以利用的好东西当作垃圾丢掉,拾破烂的人最愉快的时刻就是将这些蒙尘的好东西再度发掘出来,这……” 这样洒脱的人生与心态,是一个理智在先的人永远无法体会的。
第三篇:《理智与情感》读后感
Book Reading
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
“Sense and Sensibility”Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (April 2010)
information about the writer: An English writer, who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime, she published her works anonymously. The most urgent preoccupation of her bright, young heroines is courtship and finally marriage. Austen herself never married. Her best-known books include PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1813) and EMMA (1816). Virginia Woolf called Austen "the most perfect artist among women."
Extract: 1.As these considerations occurred to her in painful succession,she wept for him, more than for herself. Supported by the conviction of having done nothing to merit her present unhappiness, and consoled by the belief that Edward had done nothing to forfeit her esteem, she thought she could even now, under the first smart of the heavy blow, command herself enough to guard every suspicion of the truth from her mother and sisters.
2. But it was a matter of great consolation to her, that what brought evil to herself would bring good to her sister; and Elinor, on the other hand, suspecting that it would not be in her power to avoid Edward entirely,
comforted herself by thinking, that though their longer stay would therefore militate against her own happiness, it would be better for Marianne than an immediate return into Devonshire.
3. She received the news with resolute composure; made no observation on it, and at first shed no tears; but after a short time they would burst out, and for the rest of the day, she was in a state hardly less pitiable than when she first learnt to expect the event.
My comments: The story in this book concerns two sister, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood Along with their mother and young sister, they were evict from their residence Norland Park after the death of their father, they moved to a country cottage offered by a generous relative with on other choice.
Whereas Elinor is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic. I like both of the sisters very much.
Elinor loves Edward not because his status and fortune but his excellent personality. When she heard Edward has engaged with Lucy, Elinor still tries her best to control her emotion and accept the fate. She doesn’t tell anyone about her sadness even her sister and mother just because she doesn’t want to bother them. Later, although Edward is abandoned by his mother and fiancée, Elinor still loves him the same as before. Finally they got married and find their happiness.
As a female at that age of England, it is not easy to keep being sane. But Elinor does it, her love for her sister, mother and Edward are so pure and self-giving. Maybe this is one kind of female’s arousal.
In contrast, Marianne just wants to find a husband who is not only
handsome but also gentle and charming. So she is attracted by Willoughby who is dashing and fiery, and she never pays attention to Brandon who loves her deeply just because he is much older than her. Unfortunately, Willoughby marries another girl who is rich, though he has engaged with Marianne. When Marianne is forsaken by Willoughby, she becomes self-abandon and tearful every day, which makes she becomes so silk that she almost lose her life. Finally, under her elder sister’s persuader, Marianne restrains her sensibility and marries Brandon.
Although Marianne does not as sensible as her elder sister, I also appreciate her courage—to love the person she loves and express the emotion she wants to.
Life is combined with sense and sensibility. Of course it’s never easy too distinguish one from the other .Half sense and half sensibility also is difficult to be balance, most times we just take everything for granted. As for the fact, that’s a king of life.
Sense and Sensibility is absolute worth reading. The foremost of the book is that it still can direct people in the discussion of sense and sensibility, moral and criterion nowadays. It reminds us that choose to be sensible, we will be more mature.
第四篇:理智与情感读后感
作者:晓艳
《理智与情感》是英国着名女作家简·奥斯丁的处女作。埃莉诺和玛丽安两姐妹生在一个体面的英国乡绅家庭,姐姐善于用理智来控制情感,妹妹却往往情感毫无节制,因此在恋爱中碰到挫折时,她们作出了不同的反映……情节围绕着两位女主人公的择偶活动展开,揭露当时英国资本主义社会,以婚配作为女子寻求经济保障、提高经济地位的一种风俗,重门第而不顾儿女感情和做人权利的丑陋时尚。如同书名展现的那样,整个故事集中表现了“理智”与“情感”的矛盾冲突。本书和作者的代表作《傲慢与偏见》堪称姐妹篇,同样以细腻的笔触和生动的对白叙述没有富裕嫁妆的少女恋爱结婚的故事。
《理智与情感》无时不散放着理性的光芒,并以书中主人公卓越的理智的头脑和其机敏与智慧,当然了,还少不了她心中炽热的感情,来表现保持自我的完整与满足社会的要求这一中心思想。《理智与情感》是一部寓于情趣与幽默的作品。它以两姐妹曲折复杂的爱情故事为主线,表达出了理智与情感的关系,以及很多情况下,理智应更胜于情感的主张。在简。奥斯汀的时代,对情感的赞美是当时文学的主流内容,许多人都认为有无法克制的强烈情感才是优秀人物的表现,而无论这种感情是否会给其自身或其家人带来痛苦。如果想要克制或隐藏,那便是错误。而简则通过两姐妹的故事对这种观点表达了不同的看法,从书中可看出,她认为诚挚热烈的感情固然重要与可贵,但仍需理智去控制与调节,毕竟情感是感性的,任其随意发展可能会带来许多不必要的痛苦,不论对自己还是家人都会有伤害。只有同时具备理性的头脑和思维,才能避免或把这种伤害降为最低,这无疑对大家都是有好处的。
《理智与情感》塑造了一系列的人物形象,各有各独特的个性,然而就读者接触最多和作者想要着重表现的,那就要数达什伍德家的两姐妹了。
埃丽诺,达什伍德家的大女儿,一个感情丰富而又富于理智的姑娘。从故事一开始就显示出了她比她的母亲和妹妹更加有头脑与理智。埃丽诺办事缜密,考虑周全,谈吐智慧。不论是对他所爱慕的爱德华还是厌恶的露西,在众人面前,她都能以礼相待。而且,不论是埃丽诺好奇,喜爱或是厌恶的话题,大家共同讨论时,她总能保持一定的冷静与思考的头脑,既不显示出异常的过分的关注,也不让大家感到自己是个扫兴的角色。任何事,埃丽诺总是拿捏得那么有分寸,那么合适。此外,埃丽诺还是个善良的姑娘,善于从他人身上发现优点,善于替他人着想。对于詹宁斯太太,虽然她的行为充分说明了她缺乏大脑,但埃丽诺却总在自己的朋友与妹妹面前谈起她的热心,慷慨与正义。并且为了詹宁斯太太在伦敦自己家中的时光能舒适的度过,而不受玛丽安的嘲讽与冷漠,也为了玛丽安不做出过火的事儿而使自身受到伤害,即使自己并不心甘情愿,还是同意接受邀请,陪妹妹一道前往。以上的一切都显示了埃丽诺理智的头脑,但并非说明她是一个缺乏感性的人。相反,埃丽诺同她妹妹一样,拥有一颗富于情感的心,只不过她更善于控制这种情感。她对爱德华的倾心,无论在他身上发生了什么情况都从未改变过。她没有因爱德华的不善言谈,行为呆板忧郁以及众人对他的指责而遗弃他,她看中他的正直,诚实,稳重,宽容的人品,为他在家中所受到的不公平待遇而表示不平,为他不幸的第一次订婚表示同情。并且无时无刻不在为爱德华着想,为能使他的境况有所好转而努力。甚至在听说了爱德华早已订婚的消息后,埃丽诺依然钟情于他。得知这消息后即使她极力掩饰,还是不难看出这个消息对她的巨大打击。可见,她对爱德华的感情是强烈的,忠实的,实际的以及是一成不变的。这证明了埃丽诺不仅理智,同样有颗富于情感的心。并有一个清晰而理智的头脑来时刻提醒她去制约一些无谓的感情冲动。理智,善良,机智是她特有的魅力。
同理智思维发达的埃丽诺相比,她的妹妹玛丽安则要显得感性许多。拿中国名着《红楼梦》中的两个女主角与之相比,若把埃丽诺比作八面玲珑的薛宝钗,那么玛丽安当之无愧的要数林黛玉型了。聪明伶俐,却又过于多情善感。看到秋日的落叶与萧瑟,玛丽安会觉得有种悲伤萦绕心头,正如当初葬花的黛玉一般。玛丽安对待爱情总抱着富有浪漫色彩的幻想,总想嫁个“人品出众,风度迷人”的如意郎君,对待感情总追求来的轰轰烈烈,浪漫传奇。对感情的表露也是十分的直白明显,以致于多次被詹宁斯太太拿来取笑。与埃莉诺不同,玛丽安在社交上同她的感情观十分相似,对待自己喜欢的人热情十分,关怀备至,对待不喜欢的连最起码的以礼相待也难以做到,总是冷潮加热讽,给予一副冷漠的面孔。这种情感或许是当时那个时代最推崇的情感观,但简借助玛丽安充分说明了这种情感观的不妥。玛丽安最后被威洛比抛弃,在他们所引以自豪的情感观的支配下限入痛苦的深渊,无法自拔,差一点丢掉性命,也给朋友和家人带来了不可摆脱的痛苦。这就是过于感性的弊端。但抛开玛丽安“感情有余,理智不足”的缺点,她也是个十分优秀的姑娘。玛丽安聪明机智,有正义感,对于自私狡诈的势力之徒的攻击,总是立即给与不客气的还击。她酷爱读书,头脑充实有思想,不同于缺乏常识的平凡之辈。玛丽安十分爱自己的妈妈和姐妹,无论是感性过头的她,还是后来受到教训,最终变得理智的她,都不愿让自己的朋友,尤其是亲人因为她而感到痛苦和不安。并且,在变得理智后,尽力去弥补自己因过于感性而带来的损伤。像故事里说的“一但玛丽安意识到自己做错了,他会用一切行动来弥补自己的过错。”他的确是个好姑娘,不是吗?
说完了故事中的两位女主人公,再来谈一位同样生着俏丽面容,拥有理智头脑的姑娘把,她就是露西。斯蒂尔,詹宁斯太太的亲戚,爱德华的第一个订婚对象。这位小姐既不同于玛丽安,有丰富的情感,也不同于埃莉诺,有理智善良的心。她在感情上可谓是一贫如洗,“理智”上也只能仅仅被称作富有。她是个冷漠自私的人。行事上机关算尽,貌似很有理智,很有情感,实际上满脑子歪门邪道,虚情假意。她财产不多,为了生活的富裕,先与爱德华订婚,当爱德华因为她被剥夺了财产继承权之后,又将其抛弃,转而嫁给爱德华的弟弟。在这同时,还总是对埃丽诺进行恶意中伤,以满足自己的妒忌心理,表面上还装得无比可怜无辜。好在埃丽诺每次都能给予不卑不亢的还击,让露西无法得逞,看时真是大快人心。露西善于拍马奉承,为此赢得了许多人的欢心,被视为掌上明珠。但要问她究竟喜欢谁,爱慕谁,我想出了金钱也别无他人了。
玛丽安是理智不足而感情有余;约翰·达什伍德夫妇是理智有余而感情不足;而威洛比是感情上十分虚伪,表面上似乎很有情感,实际上却冷漠无情,自私透顶。简·奥斯汀在故事里对珍重感情的人物加以赞扬,尽管对哪些人在理智上的欠缺也不时加以讽刺;然而对缺少感情仅有理智或是在感情上虚伪的人,却表现出极度鄙视的态度。简·奥斯汀最赞赏的是埃莉诺,因为她即重感情又有理智。这里也阐述了简·奥斯汀在这个问题上的看法,即不能没有感情,也不能过于理智。故事的女主角均追求与男士思想感情的平等交流与沟通,要求社会地位上的平等权利,坚持选择伴侣的自由。这在当时的英国,应该是一种叛逆的行为。
通过这三个人,想必作者已经把自己的观点表达的很清楚了。人要有丰富的情感,但不能感情用事。必要的时候应受到理智的制约。简认为谨慎行事和内心冲动应保持平衡。她对金钱可以买到高雅生活的观点表示尊重,但对简来说更重要的还是人与人之间的感情。这部作品是围绕着理智与情感而展开的,实际上也是为绕着保持自我的完整与满足社会的要求这一主题而延伸的,重在说明人固然是一个情感个体,但也需要融入社会。做一个具体的社会人,既有自己独特的情感与个性,又有必要的理智加以制约,使其能与社会融洽,这样才能获得真正的幸福。
理智与情感好比一把双刃剑,坚持理智,可能会伤了情感,照顾情感,可能又失去理智。能很理智地处理情感,能在情感的一定范围内保持理智,当然最好,这是运用这把双刃剑的最好方式。但是,现实生活中,往往会面临着取舍时,你是理智多于情感呢?还是情感多于理智?或是像威洛比先生哪样,表面上很有情感内心却很自私自利。所以,愿我们每一个人都能驾御自己的理智与情感,而不是被它所奴役。
第五篇:《理智与情感》读后感(6)
无论是在沙尘肆掠的古代埃及还是侬喃细语的秦淮河畔,也无论是18世纪的欧洲宁静乡村还是如今这个高度文明的时期,爱情始终是人类生命中一种亘古不变、圣洁纯真的美丽情怀。也许在不同的时期、地域它以不同的方式面貌得以展现,然而支撑它的力量从未改变。那,便是恋爱的精神。
沐浴在春日一个午后的阳光里,当我轻轻翻开手中的《理智与情感》,心神便缓缓沉浸与一行行散发着油墨清香的文字中并为之摇曳。书的作者是十八世纪末英国伟大的女性作家简?奥斯丁。如同简一贯的文学风格,作者以其细致入微的观察视角,精巧微妙的故事构思,以及其作为女性而特有的细腻睿智的文笔生动地向我们展示了十八世纪英国乡村中产阶级的各色人群与他们的情感及日常生活场景。静静品读字里行间,书中的语句或许并不是那么华丽,甚至是朴实得有几分琐碎,但却清新隽永,似清风拂过心头,表面琐碎的叙述读来颇耐人寻味,更像是作者本人将文中的内容如儿时睡床前的故事一般向你娓娓道来,恍然间,其中的深刻情感已了然于心。
故事的情节围绕着埃莉诺与玛丽安姐妹俩的择偶活动而展开。文中不乏个性鲜明的代表人物:感情丰富,热情单纯的少女玛丽安;自私无情,道德沦丧的青年威洛比;品格高尚,真诚稳重的布兰登上校;虚伪势力的小人物约翰?达什伍德夫妇女主人公善良周到,成熟理智的埃莉洛。。。各色人物轮番上场为我们上演了发生在十八世纪盛行着以情感、人权同金钱、地位做交易的丑恶时尚,当时的英国一个在追求爱的过程中也曾痛苦挣扎,但终在对自我灵魂、道德的理智、忠诚与对爱人、亲友的情感责任的指引下寻找到真爱的浪漫故事。轻轻合上书本,无论是书中对于自由恋爱、人权平等的反抗呐喊,还是作品的睿智文笔对于真、善、美的歌颂及对假、丑、恶的鞭挞,都引发着我内心的欢呼喝彩。然而,更有一种思想深深触动着心底最柔软的地方促使着我不断地思考、探寻,那便是恋爱的精神理智与情感间的平衡。在爱情中,尤其对于热恋中的双方而言,理智与情感看似矛盾却都是恋爱过程中的必需。若要经营好爱情不能没有情感的投入,而这情感也应受到理智的制约,绝非仅凭一颗热恋中的心盲目地横冲直撞。一如书中的玛丽安,理智不足而情感有余。热恋中的激情蒙蔽了她的双眼,使她再也不能理智地看待一切,因此受到了感情骗子威洛比的欺骗,为此后的一系列不幸和痛苦埋下了导火线。作者在书中虽对珍重感情的人报以赞扬,然而对他们在理智上的欠缺也不时加以讽刺。其良苦用心正在于告诫人们即使是面对着看似世上最热烈的情感也切勿闭上理智之眼,用心把握理智与情感间的平衡体味恋爱的精神。在文中最喜爱的当数埃莉洛,情感之余不忘理智,理智之中不乏情感。爱情来临了,就勇敢的接受,不躲闪,不计较得失,这便是爱得起,是忠于自己情感的态度。在爱情悄然而逝时亦能毅然地转身,再见面仍能以礼相待,从容面对,这是放得下,是跟随理智的选择。终究埃莉洛怀着这种恋爱的精神收获了爱情失而复得的莫大幸福。在恋爱精神支撑下的爱情必定是恒远的,无须担心若有一天,当激情褪去留下的只有一具写满厌倦的冰冷空壳。这样的爱情亦如同舒婷笔下那橡树式的爱情我如果爱你,绝不像攀援的凌霄花,借你的高枝炫耀自己;我如果爱你,绝不学痴情
的鸟儿,为绿荫重复单调的歌曲。我必须是你近旁的一棵木棉。根,紧握在地下。叶,相触在云里。每一阵风过,我们都相互致意。我们分担寒潮,风雷,霹雳,我们共享雾霭,流岚,虹霓。仿佛永远分离,却又终身相依。这才是伟大的爱情这样的爱情亲密有间,彼此信赖依靠,却又有着独立的人格与灵魂,不仅充满着真诚的情感,也闪耀着理性的光辉。世间安得双全法?不负如来不负卿。在令人心醉的爱情中仍保持心智的清明,这不仅是忠于自我的价值与生命,也是忠于爱情本身。古往今来,理智与情感的平衡作为恋爱的的重要精神融汇于爱情才散发出感人至深的动人光辉。
