瓦尔登湖读后感英文(通用3篇)
《瓦尔登湖》记述了梭罗在他两年中的湖边隐居生活。他描绘了大自然的新奇与完美,延伸了无限的感慨与思考。他将两年的观察与思考合成一年来写。自然的规律是恒久不变的。梭罗是一个自由的人,他拥有非凡的生活技能,能摆脱世俗的羁绊。最重要的是,他乐于探索未知世界——这个世界还包括他的内心。他鼓励人们纯洁与简单,勇于按照人们更高的天性行事。
瓦尔登湖的寂静给了作者思考的空间,使作者必须程度上摆脱了无聊的应酬和社交活动等。他在湖边似乎孤身一人,但他其实并未断绝与外界的联系。准确地说,梭罗所厌恶的是毫无真诚与热情的社交活动,而且它们常常与豪奢联系在一齐。相反地,自然往往更接近真理。
立在清澈的碧蓝色湖水旁,那幢他亲手建造的木屋是他思考的居所。他凭直觉和自己的意愿,来到那里进行他的生活实验。整整三百页的纸张,都透露出对“我”这一种生活方式作为固定的习惯。作者在湖边隐居的确——正如他所说的那样——是一个生活的实验。并且带领读者同他一道,在情节的发展之中,获得无法言喻的启迪。入殓师影评
限于人生阅历和学识的浅薄,我不敢说这十几万字我都能读透,更何况它囊括了太多的资料。然而无论如何,每个人结论都会是相同的,只但是明白的程度深浅不一而已。的确,这本书很难读,凡是浮躁的情绪都不得不抛弃这本书。另一方面,唯有沉静的人在沉静的时空中方可与这高尚的思想共鸣。一旦沉静的心读进来了这本书,必获益匪浅。
我们所阅读的,并非是褒贬“仁义道德”之流,而是真理。书中描述的全部是真实的大自然,与城市中灯红酒绿的嘈杂迥异,湖边的鸟兽虫鱼鸣叫的喧嚣更接近于自然的真理。更广义地来讲,作者竭力强调的心灵和精神上的宁静和探索,并非简单的远离世俗退居山林。有人渴望像他一样,拥有一片属于自己的山林。这显然不贴合他的思想境界。真正的瓦尔登湖是一种生活方式,存在于作者以及每个人的心中,不是一成不变仅存在山林中的,并且值得注意的是,作者在瓦尔登湖边始终是一位占住者。即使作者生活在一座大都市中,他同样能够凭自己的意愿,到内心的海洋中探索。
尽管如此,作者还是可惜地感觉到,城市离真理太远了。城市在人们的意识中建造起来,早已被人类狭隘的观念充满了。作者逃离都市,隐居湖畔;同样他也逃离固定的思维模式,隐居到自由、孤独的思想中去。作者正因贞洁,以至于他都感到自己永远不能拥有绝对纯洁了;来不及为自己的哀悼,他又向自己提出了新的要求,要以人类更高的天性去生活。
他不去追名逐利,又困惑于我们顽固的思维方式。有时你感到他在颠倒是非,其实每次都有一个思维敏捷的人紧跟他的思想,跃过腐朽思想的栅栏,体悟到其中真正的含义。因此,贫穷能够是富有,劳动能够是苦役,虚度光阴、野蛮能够是高尚,聪明能够是愚蠢,购买能够不花费任何钱财,最终复杂也能够是简单。要想做到这一切,就得回归到最基本的精神实质。齐组词
水的简单赋予了它最丰富的内涵。就好像科学家合成出的物质,无论多么复杂,都不可能超越水的简单一样,《瓦尔登湖》也是一座不能逾越的巅峰。
read through some of the more than half of the "walden pond", to be honest look at a lot of paragraphs do not really understand, but say it is fun sections of animals that people read fresh.
the first animal is the rooster attention, and that the most common birds, however the author's pen in the air all of a sudden and very poor. thoreau is the author described them this way: the rooster, pheasant was originally, and their chirping is the world's most beautiful music, better than all the other animals, but most of the time to fill the gaps in their voice is their wife - the mother chickens are noisy, it's no wonder that they ultimately can only be the poultry, not to mention what kind of a chicken egg. these words can not help people desperately want to remember the music chenming rooster, the result was a loss, except in writing from the mechanical "oo" sound. as for the hen, they can only remember them after the end of each time it is under the "giggle" to stop the called.

Walden is a masterpiece written by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), who was born in Concord, Massachusetts. The age he lived had witnessed the flourish of capitalism as well as the prosperity of industrialization and urbanization. During the 19th century, the American economy developed at so fast rate that most people were bound up in pursuing the material satisfaction , while ingored the spiritual life to a great extent. But Thoreau was quite different from other people, he disdained the modern civilization and attached more importance to the spirit than the material. He thought many people of his time lived in a non-human-like modern society and many modern appliances, such as trains and telegraphs, had done harm to people's harmonious life peace and also broken the relationship between human and nature.
In order to prove that without the modern instruments , people can also live a happy life, in 1845, he moved into a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and live there alone for two years to get close to the nature .Walden, is the famous book mainly talks about his life and thoughts during those days living in the woods .
Thoreau was so happy with the life living near the lake of Walden that he felt it a sweet grace to have the nature' accompany and even the sounds of rain and the sights around his house were full of sincere friendship. In his eyes, the nature was an intimate friend of him and all things in the nature were lively and vivacious. And all kinds of animals in the wood, such as field mouses, robins and wild rabbits were amicably treated and regarded as his adorable companions. He even thought that plants were also had the right to live equal with human beings. Just because of this, he even blamed himself for hitting chestnut trees with stones. From many words or sentences, we can easily feel Thoreau's deep love and care towards nature.
Besides, Thoreau was a pioneering nature lover, who called on people to stop destorying nature but protect it by setting himself an example to others. The consciousness of the environmental protection is becoming more and more important in our modern society, while the whole world is trapped in some serious ecological crisises resulting from hunting and killing animals, cutting down trees and polluting the rivers for pursuit of human beings' own interests. We all have the common sense that the number of wildlife is decreasing, the area of lake is shrinking, and the water is not clear any more. What's worse, environment problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution are deteriorating during the commercial process . So it's high time that we should realize we never be the dominator of the whole world conquring nature, but should spare no efforts to improve the environment right away. That is, we should comply with the natural laws, make reasonable utilization of natural resources and keep the harmonious development between the society and the environment. Only in this way will we has an opportunity to embrace a bright future and achieve a sustainable society .
In the book, Walden, Thoreau not only advocated the protection of nature, but also encourage people to comprehend and return to nature. He told us using his own experience that by living a simple life close to nature, we human beings will find out the true value of life and significance of existence.
After reading the book, what impressed me most is the description of the fascinating scenery around the Walden pound, especially these sentences: "A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows". To Thoreau, the Walden lake is like a charming and melting girl , who has slender eyelashes and likes to dress herself in different beautiful clothes with the changes of different seasons.
Every morning after getting up, Thoreau would have a bath in the Walden lake to start a new day. After that, he used to wander around the pond and refresh himself with the fresh air. In summer days , he cultivated a piece of land and growed beans, blackberries, johnsworts and the like. The depiction of his leisure rurality spontaneously reminds me of Tao Yuanming, the famous Chinese poet, who lived in the Jin Dynasty and made his life meaningful by returning to the nature and perfecting himself. If Thoreau and Tao Yuanming lived in the same period and place, they would probably become best friends.
From the book, we know that during the years when Thoreau lived near the Walden, he did not completely isolate himself from the outside world. Sometimes he went to the town and did odd jobs and would receive visitors and friends in his cabin at times. As I mention before, the intention for his living in the woods was that he wanted to teach people how to live a simple life, achieve enjoyment from the nature, free oneself from the strained daily life and what is more important is to reevaluate the value of social life.
Thoreau's though of enjoying a simple life has a more realistic significance and have become a valuable spiritual wealth in our modern society. With the development of the material civilization, people's desires are swelling limitlessly and many people are busy with the pursuit of wealth and luxurious life by any means, including at the expense of nature. However, even in the society materially affluent and technologically advanced , people are not be more happier than those people who lived centuries ago, but even feel less satisfactory and complaint more about their present life as a result of having unbounded desires of getting more and better. Therefore, many people who possess a lat have become slaves of machine, working more but do not have the ability to enjoy what they have.
In the book Walden, Thoreau had realize this problem several hundreds ago. Thus, he set his mind to give a enlightenment to awake people and encourage them to live a simple life. His thoughts have great similarity with the belief of our Chinese humanism, that is, the meaning of life lies in the sane and healthy enjoyment of a simple life. In fact, Thoreau and his teacher and friend Emerson praised highly on Confucianism and both them benefited a lot from it. I am very happy to see the interlinked place between Chinese culture and western culture.
Reading this book is like having a tranquil steam flow through my heart, washing the dust in my mind. It teaches me how to keep a pure spirit in the complex society, set proper goals for my life as well as enjoy the endows of nature. In short, I feel it quite worthwhile to read the book Walden. I sincerely hope more and more people would like to read this book and receive benefits from it .
