The story shows an old man who lives in helpless, isolated and adverse circumstances but still has indomitable, strong and unyielding spirit to face violent and death.His bloody battle demonstrate incomparable strength and courage, never break the dignity of people, glory to be defeated.The sea and shark symbolize relentless society and natural power.Summary：

Ernest Hemingway said ”A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

A stronger who catches the belief to fight with fate will always stand with his own courage and perseverance, no matter how hard the life is.Although the fate is full of distress, he will never give in.He embodies the great spiritual strength of self-esteem and self-improvement.

Abstract

The Old Man and the Sea tells the frustrated experience that the old fisherman fishes in the course.The theme is deep, and it is a song of praise of heroism.“But man is not made for defeat.A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has been the classic saying and the old man also has been the most typical and the most representative of the Hemingway’s “tough guy”.When Hemingway talked about the successful factors later, the little boy was mentioned in the same breath with the old man.This paper starts with the details and it is divided into two main parts to discuss the indispensable roles of the little boy in the novel.It is him who helps to perform the theme of “grace under pressure”: during 40 days, the old man with the little boy went to fish but without taking a fish, when his situation was getting worse step by step, the little boy’s leaving was the heavy pressure that achieved the extreme stern for certain.However , it was so “heavy pressure” that his manner was graceful when the old man faced afterwards defeat and his optimistic, generous life attitude was worthy tasting by people carefully;it is him who plays the role of leading, inspiring to the readers, and increasing the appeal of the work, enriching the content of the work: although the little boy appears only at the beginning and the ending in the novel, there is nothing in his inner state but the old man, so his attitude and emotions towards the old man affects the readers’ emotions for the old man quietly and gradually.And it is unavoidable that his inner feeling leads and impacts the readers’ emotions.Key words: roles;the little boy;the old man;grace under pressure。

摘要

《老人與海》講述了老漁夫捕魚過程中的坎坷經歷，主題深刻，是一部英雄主義的贊歌。“一個人不是生來就要被打敗的，你可以消滅他，但就是打不敗他。”已經成為至理名言，老人也成為海明威式“硬漢子”的最典型、最完美的代表。當海明威談到小說成功的因素時，曾頗為自得地將小男孩與老人相提并論。

本文擬從有關細節入手，分析 討論小男孩在《老人與海》中所起的微妙且不可或缺的作用：是他幫助表現了“重壓下的優雅風度”這一主題：在老人84天沒有捕到魚，處境一步步惡化的厄運中，小男孩的離去無疑讓老人的“重壓”達到了極度嚴峻的地步，然而正是由于如此的“重壓”，老人后來面對失敗時的態度才可謂“優雅”，所表現的大度、樂觀的人生態度才值得人們仔細地品味；是他對讀者發揮著一定的牽引、打動和啟發作用，從而增強了作品的感染力，豐富了作品的內涵：孩子雖然只出現在小說的首尾兩處，但是孩子的內心世界里別無他物，只有老人，他對老人的態度和感情潛移默化地左右著讀者對老人的感受，他的內心情感無可避免地要牽動 影響 著讀者的情緒。

老人與海的讀后感

the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation.It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world.Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers.Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro.But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.I first read this book when I was in my fifteens.And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.My first impression of this story was from screen.It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books.I don't remember which movie edition I had seen.But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume.I was very favor of a section of music in its balls.It's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird.Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didn't think she's beautiful.But she's smart.However, I didn't pay much attention to the plot.I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored.By now, I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either.I owe it to my prejudice.In fact, I didn't understand the story at that time.I didn't know why it called Pride and Prejudice.Of course someone was pride, but I didn't find where' s the prejudice.I thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that.I considered prejudice would be very disgusting.But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length.Now, I think I have understood more about it.I'm a prejudiced person so I can't find where's wrong.I merely like to do the things I like.Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull.The senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up.Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.When I read “ the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place...” When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance.Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly.We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.When I read “ the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fish's life, it was static static floats on the water surface...” When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls.I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above.Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success.We also must study senior fisherman's spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully

第三篇：老人與海簡介

老人與海》是現代美國小說作家海明威創作于1952年的一部中篇小說，也是作者生前發表的最后一部小說。

小說描寫了一位老漁夫在海上捕魚，經過了84天，他還沒有捕到一條魚，大家都說他運氣不好，不吉利，等到第85天，他決定去漁夫們從未去過的深海去打魚，以證明自己的能力和勇氣。在海上，老人發現了一條很大的馬林魚，它克服了重重困難，經過艱難的搏斗，終于在第三天早晨，把魚叉刺進了馬林魚的心臟。在返回的途中，老人與到了鯊魚的五次襲擊，他用魚叉、船槳和刀子勇敢反擊。當他駕駛小船回到港口時，馬林魚只剩下一幅巨大的白骨架。

《老人與海》的內容很簡單，海明威選用了簡單的詞匯，簡單的句型結構和簡單的句間邏輯關系，顯示出一種樸素的尊嚴。“一個人可以被消滅，可你就是打不敗他”。初讀起來十分簡單明了，但是細究下去，會發現簡單的故事具有難以窮盡的內涵，具有極其獨特的表現手法。下面談點自己的粗淺認識：

永不屈服的靈魂——《老人與海》賞析

風吹向空寂的海面，一個孤獨的老人拖著疲憊不堪的身子漂泊在茫茫的海面上活像個大戰后的勇士。為了治服那條龐大的馬林魚，他已經費下了自己近乎所有的力氣。而今，他帶著自己捕獲的大魚航行回家，他希望運氣的眷顧，可那些不斷襲來的鯊魚卻讓這個老人在疲累中一次又一次的奮力作戰。他什么也顧不得了，他只是想保住他的魚，哪怕剩下的再少。

海明威讓這個老人具有了一種不可征服的精神力量。他一次又一次地用他那雙傷痕累累的手將粗陋的武器刺進鯊魚的頭顱。即使最終的結果仍是只剩下那十八英尺的魚骨架。從老人的身上，我們不難看出海明威想要傳達給我們的那種靈魂的尊嚴。

書中的老人曾說：“人不是為失敗而生的，一個人可以被毀滅，但不能給打敗。”這正是海明威借老人的口告訴讀者的本書的主題吧，我想，從此看來這本書并不是什么寓言而是一部令人折服的現實主義佳作。

當我們翻開書的扉頁，就好像打開一個塵封已久的木箱，里面盡藏著珍貴的古器，訴說著曾經的偉岸勇毅，使靈魂洗禮在充滿力與美的殿堂中。

《老人與海》寫的是一個老人,卻展現了一個世界。小說內容十分豐富,含義深刻,是一部現實主義的杰作,讀后令人回味...我不知道未來會怎樣，我的航行究竟結果如何，但作為一個不被擊敗的人，你看那太陽總是要落下去的，但是明天——太陽照常升起！

一艘船越過世界的盡頭，駛向未知的大海，船頭上懸掛著一面雖然飽經風雨剝蝕卻依舊艷麗無比的旗幟，旗幟上，舞動著云龍一般的四個字閃閃發光——超越極限！” 作者海明威是這樣評價他的作品《老人與海》的。

信仰可以是一個人，如同《幻城》；信仰亦可以是一句托付，如同母親對你的關照。我們曾有那么多的理想像吹泡泡一樣接連破滅，但仍剩下對生活與生命的信念。去相信吧，如同沒有被欺騙過一樣。

縱使老人一次次失敗，他從沒有絕望過，那份淡定，平息了一切波濤。老漁夫，雖然老了，倒霉、失敗；但他仍舊堅持努力，而能在失敗的風度上贏得勝利。這部小說表現了一種奮斗的人生觀，即使面對的是不可征服的大自然，但人仍然可以得到精神上的勝利。也許結果是失敗的，但在奮斗的過程中，我們可以看到一個人如何成為一個頂天立地的大丈夫。

海明威為什么沒有讓老人最終勝利呢? 用小說中老人的話來說：“一個人并不是生來就要被打敗的”，“人盡可以被毀滅，但卻不能被打敗。”這就是《老人與海》

想揭示的哲理。不可否認，只要是人就都會有缺陷。當一個人承認了這個缺陷并努力去戰勝它而不是去屈從它的時候，無論最后是捕到一條完整的馬林魚還是一副空骨架，這都已經無所謂了，因為一個人的生命價值已在那追捕馬林魚的過程中充分地體現了。曾經為自己的理想努力追求過、奮斗過，難道他不是一個勝利者嗎？老漁夫就是敢于挑戰自身缺陷及自己勇氣和信心的勝利者。從世俗勝利觀的角度看，老漁夫不是最后的勝利者，因為盡管開始他戰勝了大馬林魚，但是最終大馬林魚還是讓鯊魚吃了，他只是帶著大馬林魚的白骨架子回到了岸上，也就是說，鯊魚才是勝利者。可是，在理想主義者眼里，老漁夫就是勝利者，因為他始終沒有向大海沒有向大馬林魚更沒有向鯊魚妥協和投降。就如音樂大師貝多芬所說“我可以被摧毀，但我不能被征服”。

人性是強悍的，人類本身有自己的限度，但正是因為有了老漁夫這樣的人一次又一次地向限度挑戰，超越它們，這個限度才一次次擴大，一次次把更大的挑戰擺在了人類面前。在這個意義上，老漁夫桑地亞哥這樣的英雄，不管他們挑戰限度是成功還是失敗，都是值得我們永遠敬重的。因為，他帶給我們的是人類最為高貴的自信！

人生本來就是一種無止境的追求。它的道路漫長、艱難，而且充滿坎坷，但只要自己勇敢頑強地以一顆自信的心去迎接挑戰，他將永遠是一個真正的勝利者！
