第三篇:純真年代英文讀后感
THE AGE OF INNOCENCE
The Age of Innocence is an unfading novel which has been regarded as the perfect one of Edith Wharton's.The author created the characters and refined the materials from her personal experience and familiar environment.Its theme was rooted in realism.In this novel, the clue of Beaufort's fate stood in contrast to the plotline of Archer's disastrous love, which had left the common love story with the profound social significance.In the 1870s, it was immoral for women to get a divorce in the American upper class.Ellen Olenska, a countess coming back to New York from Europe, was such a shameless woman.However, her coming back provoked a commotion in the lifeless upper class.Ellen's cousin, May Welland, was engaged to Newland Archer.Faced with all kinds of behaviours of Ellen after her coming back, Archer, unlike other high-society people who thought of her as a over-coquettish and loose woman , quite appreciated Ellen who had the courage to break the stereotypical image.He was never satisfied with such rigid rules that women couldn't express their feeling freely and catch other people's eyes.They couldn't divorce their husbands even though their marriage was unhappy.At this point, Ellen's appearance stirred up his rethinking of his own marriage, the freedom of women and even the deeply conservative society where he lived.Gradually, the appreciation that Archer showed for Ellen turned to love.At the same time, Ellen was slowly coming to accept Archer' love.However, Archer had many constraints from traditional etiquette that always reminded him that he could not run counter to what he had been given.He should stick to the old system to keep his engagement to May.He should do his best to preserve the honor of two families, which would not allow him to rebel against orthodoxy and do anything wilder.Finally, Archer married May under such mundane situation.But Archer soon began to lose himself with their marriage's bondage and more profoundly, he knew that the woman he really loved was Ellen.Archer could not cheat himself any more and decided to pour his heart out about his love to Ellen who was suffering equally.Although May already suspected that Acher had an affair with Ellen, she kept silent and told them that she was pregnant.Ellen realized that she might hurt May and her child if she continued to pursue happiness and love.Finally, she chose self-sacrifice and then left New York.Years later, Archer finally got the chance to meet Ellen.However, faced with Archer who had come a long way to visit her, Ellen just quietly closed the window that was open.This may be the perfect ending.The love triangle raised questions of duty, passion and morality and finally ended quietly.In my opinion, Ellen was the bravest woman among those characters for she always lived just like her desire.She, unlike other women who were afraid to cross secular and
traditional boundaries, had the courage to express her love and her final leaving proved her spirit of self-sacrifice.Another three novels:

第四篇:《純真年代》我的讀后感
[《純真年代》我的讀后感]《純真年代》我的讀后感2011-02-27 23:27編者按,【錦江歲月】里《純真年代-懷念八十年代錦江》一文所反映的昔日單純美好的猶如世外桃源般三線生活和913廠廠友們童年的經(jīng)歷是相通的,《純真年代》我的讀后感。故把這篇文章的讀后感歸類到913昔日生活點(diǎn)滴欄目。作者:913棋王讀《純真年代-懷念八十年代錦江》一文,作者文字質(zhì)樸生動,短短數(shù)語就能把我們帶入到了一個,我們也曾經(jīng)感受過的那段單純的、無憂無慮的三線生活歲月。我相較《純真年代-懷念八十年代錦江》一文的作者作者是79年的而言還要大上好幾歲,從出生年份上說作者基本上可以歸納到80后的群體,相對來說我們童年時的物質(zhì)豐富度比之作者還要差一點(diǎn)。從作者回憶自己經(jīng)歷的純真的八十年代看,那時的生活單純而充滿樂趣。譬如這段那時人們的娛樂生活比較簡單。廠里會放電影,大人買兩毛錢的奶油瓜子,帶著我們一起去。小一點(diǎn)的時候,我們也看不懂,就和其他小朋友在外面瘋,制造噪音。夏天最棒,有壩壩電影,我就在媽媽坐的藤椅上爬來爬去。,還有這段夏天傍晚我們就到山上去采野果子,捉蚱蜢。冬天會下雪,上學(xué)的路上我們從屋檐上摘下個冰柱舔一舔,或是用白白的雪捏成一串糖葫蘆,咬幾口。,這樣生動的文字無疑是很富有感染力的。在文章中我也注意到了兩個不好的小現(xiàn)象,即作者上幼兒園時某些阿姨就會把好的玩具分給當(dāng)官的孩子,作者就玩不到自己羨慕很久的玩具,還有就是錦江二村住工人,作者小時候的感覺是停電好像也總先停二村的。進(jìn)入到九十年代后作者隨家搬到了新都,學(xué)校的老師上課不講普通話大約就是一個開始變化的信號,作者開始察覺到人與人的關(guān)系開始變淡了,眼看著大人們整天忙碌著下海,作者直觀地感到九十年代失去了八十年代那般單純美好、猶如世外桃源般的小幸福。其實(shí)我認(rèn)為九十年代的不美好是源自于八十年代的緩慢積累,所謂量變引起了質(zhì)變。以作者童年經(jīng)歷里玩不到喜歡的玩具和二村先停電實(shí)的例子,就可以從中發(fā)現(xiàn)一點(diǎn)蛛絲馬跡。這就好比職工從享有老大哥地位到最后淪為了弱勢一樣,完成這一步并非是突然而至,顯然是一步一步地緩慢變化而來的,只不過最開始的變化尚未引人注目而已。難能可貴的是,作者從豐富的物質(zhì)生活中看到了精神生活卻變貧瘠起來,從錦江不好的變化中樸素地看到了造成這些丑陋現(xiàn)象的來源是這個時代,這反映出一個錦江青年人的獨(dú)立思考和成熟。總之本篇文章不單喚起我們重新回憶起昔日三線生活的美好,同時也引起我們對時代變遷的思考,的確是一篇好文章!附錄原文:純真年代--懷念八十年代的錦江作者:莊艷八十年代,提起自己是錦江人,倍感自豪。那是一個團(tuán)結(jié)奮進(jìn),朝氣蓬勃的年代。那里有我父母揮灑的青春,有我無比懷念的童年生活。那時的錦江廠,就如世外桃源,培養(yǎng)出來的人都非常優(yōu)秀,讀后感《《純真年代》我的讀后感》。而我當(dāng)時的結(jié)論是認(rèn)為錦江廠的水不一樣,喝了就會變聰明。為什么會有人講普通話,上海話,四川話呢,我那時想是因?yàn)樗麄兂缘氖瞧胀垼虾o埡退拇垺S里住宅分一村、二村和三村。感覺上三村住的大部分是上海人和當(dāng)官的,一村住的也是很多當(dāng)官的,二村住工人,停電好像也總先停二村的。聽說幼兒園老師為了方便我們上廁所,直接把我們放在痰盂上坐著,等爸爸媽媽來接我們的時候,我們一站起來,痰孟還在屁股上吊著。那時的某些阿姨就會把好的玩具分給當(dāng)官的孩子,我就從來沒有玩到過有些令我羨慕很久的玩具。社會的不平等早早的在這個時候就在我們幼小的心里埋下了種子。那時人們的娛樂生活比較簡單。廠里會放電影,大人買兩毛錢的奶油瓜子,帶著我們一起去。小一點(diǎn)的時候,我們也看不懂,就和其他小朋友在外面瘋,制造噪音。夏天最棒,有壩壩電影,我就在媽媽坐的藤椅上爬來爬去。印象比較深的電影有大西洋底來的人,超人。那時沒有象現(xiàn)在的大型商店可逛,不過我們還是常常去郵電樓對面的礦貿(mào)店看看,再走遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn),那就是去趕中和廠。偶爾能坐廠交通車去一趟成都,還可以買個娃娃頭、雪糕,那真是享受啊。上了小學(xué)后,還會懷念幼兒園的那個有滑梯和轉(zhuǎn)亭的小小游樂場,周日就和別的同學(xué)一起冒生命的危險翻墻進(jìn)去玩。都不知道大人有多擔(dān)心。小學(xué)生活豐富多彩,每年六一兒童節(jié)是我最興奮的時候。我們班一年級跳的舞蹈七七號巡洋艦,二年級跳的鐵臂阿童木都得了全校一等獎。三年級隔壁班有幾個男生自導(dǎo)自演的霹靂舞引起了全校轟動。每年還有風(fēng)箏節(jié),我爸爸幫我做的風(fēng)箏飛得最遠(yuǎn),但是不高,還有一年有燈籠比賽,爸爸給我做了只小白兔燈籠,里面放的日光燈,白白的,真好看。印象中還經(jīng)常有各種體育比賽在俱樂部舉行。我們那時正刮學(xué)騎自行車的風(fēng),成天在俱樂部的草地上騎。最羨慕的是有的小朋友有自行車,后輪兩邊各有兩個小輪,怎么騎都不會倒。夏天傍晚我們就到山上去采野果子,捉蚱蜢。冬天會下雪,上學(xué)的路上我們從屋檐上摘下個冰柱舔一舔,或是用白白的雪捏成一串糖葫蘆,咬幾口。改革開放的春風(fēng)吹啊吹,終于還是吹進(jìn)了這世外桃源。大人們也忙著下海了。那時從二村走到俱樂部的一路上,都是麻辣燙,串串香。一毛錢一串的萵苣,在紅油鍋里涮一涮,拿出來后再裹上一層干海椒面,嗯,現(xiàn)在想起了還流口水呢。自由市場生意也很紅火,還記得有個賣日用品的老財(cái)迷嗎?自由市場對面有個蒸飯的大鍋爐,我們中午放學(xué)會去端飯,還要回家開火門,不然等爸爸媽媽回來就做不成飯了。后來要搬新都了,印像中大概爸爸媽媽們就不會打麻將了,因?yàn)樗麄兠恐芸梢匀毠馑潞凸鸷珗@玩。心目中的新都,真是個金碧輝煌的地方。但是去了新都才發(fā)現(xiàn)我們進(jìn)了一個大社會。學(xué)校的老師上課居然不講普通話,害得我現(xiàn)在的普通話都不標(biāo)準(zhǔn)了。同學(xué)的背景各不相同,人和人之間的關(guān)系也變淡了。我就這樣離那純真年代越來越遠(yuǎn)。可是多年以后回頭再看我們現(xiàn)實(shí)的錦江廠,她不知道什么時候也悄悄地變了,她也逃脫不了社會各種垃圾的污染。物質(zhì)生活變得豐富了,精神生活卻變貧瘠。人們忙忙碌碌,不知道要追求什么。現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)長大成人,我為錦江廠失去那單純美好、猶如世外桃源般的小幸福,和她最終的沒落而惋惜。但這一切都是這個時代造就的。我將永遠(yuǎn)懷念八十年代的錦江廠。作者于2005年8月發(fā)自美國華盛頓州立大學(xué)
第五篇:純真年代影評
衣冠楚楚,斯文敗類-------觀《純真年代》有感
提起純真年代你會想到什么?
是天真無邪的年紀(jì)里,小心翼翼的暗戀,還是年輕的你用難以想象的熱情去完成一個個夢想?
我說的“純真年代”卻恰恰相反。
它不純真,不美好,相反,它是人們優(yōu)雅高貴的表象下精于算計(jì)的殘忍和冷漠,艾迪斯伊頓用生動的筆觸將我們帶入那個沉悶壓抑的年代,諷刺的將其稱之為《純真年代》。
1992年馬丁斯科西斯將其改編成電影。丹尼爾劉易斯,米歇爾菲佛和薇諾娜賴德三人用可圈可點(diǎn)的演技上演了一段上流社會的悲劇愛情。
這是發(fā)生在19世紀(jì)上流社會的三角戀情。
紐蘭是一位聲名遠(yuǎn)播的律師,與大家閨秀梅定下婚約。可命運(yùn)卻沒有讓他和其他人一樣平靜的接受命運(yùn)。紐蘭愛上了歐洲歸來的艾倫。但是出于畏懼世俗的壓力,迷茫中的紐蘭選擇和梅結(jié)婚。可婚后的紐蘭,還是無法抑制的深愛著艾倫,當(dāng)他終于下定決心拋棄一切去歐洲和艾倫相守一生時,梅卻告訴他,自己懷孕了。紐蘭積蓄的勇氣一下子被擊垮,他無法承受世俗壓力的譴責(zé),他害怕失去一切。最終,紐蘭選擇向命運(yùn)繳械投降。
艾倫作為一位社會的反叛者,勇敢的選擇與丈夫離婚,主宰自己的人生,這個行為導(dǎo)致她成為是社會的異類,成為了人們茶余飯后的笑料。恰恰相反,梅卻是典型的上流社會乖巧聽話的大小姐,彬彬有禮的她臉上總掛著溫柔的笑意。很顯然,作為紐蘭的妻子,整個社會的輿論導(dǎo)向都站在梅的一邊,人們盲目的團(tuán)結(jié)
著,用無形的壓力鞭策違背規(guī)則的人,卻并不考慮別人的行為的正確與否。世俗的規(guī)則讓紐蘭一次次放棄真愛,導(dǎo)致這場了愛情的悲劇。
在那個年代,人們有條件追求奢華享樂的生活,卻打不破社會無形的束縛。,正如艾倫所說:“紐約就是這樣一座迷宮嗎?我認(rèn)為它的一切都像第五大道一樣筆直。所有的十字路口都標(biāo)上了數(shù)字,這里的一切都貼上了讓人一目了然的巨大的標(biāo)簽。”人們吃飯,交談,相見,結(jié)婚等等都有著固定的模式,沒有人有勇氣突破這種規(guī)則。突破規(guī)則的人,比如艾倫,便成為眾矢之的。人們衣冠楚楚的表象下,品行上卻是斯文敗類般的殘忍和冷漠。電影中,梅稱別人粗魯,卻不知自己也不過是個穿著華服的小人而已。
紐蘭和梅的婚后生活,運(yùn)用了蒙太奇的鏡頭,從酒店,馬路,馬車等空間上的跳躍闡述了紐蘭和梅婚后的生活,四處游玩購物,看似琴瑟和諧,卻是建立在物質(zhì)的基礎(chǔ)上,缺乏心靈溝通漸漸喪失自我的生活,正如影片中的臺詞:“人們說新婚后的半年最難相處,之后,雙方的棱角都被磨平了,但梅的施壓把紐蘭最初想保持的棱角都快要磨平了。”而這也正是絕大多數(shù)人的生活,慢慢變老的同時漸漸麻木。影片的畫面里到處都充斥著維多利亞時代的特征,精美的油畫,精致的餐具,高貴的天鵝絨,耀眼的水晶等等,這些奢華的物件和畫面中豐富的跳躍的色彩卻更加突顯了人們靈魂上的貧乏,單一和寂寥。
人生如果能多一點(diǎn)勇氣和執(zhí)著,或許就會是截然不同的生命歷程。紐蘭和艾倫的愛情悲劇源于無形的社會規(guī)則,更源于紐蘭自身勇氣的匱乏。
而這這些無形的束縛,在當(dāng)今社會中依舊存在。找工作,交朋友,結(jié)婚生子,生活中到處充斥著無形的社會壓力。若太過在意別人的想法,我們便無法做出心靈正確的選擇。有時候,人就要瘋狂一點(diǎn),勇敢的去與命運(yùn)抗?fàn)帲非笞晕摇?/p>
影片的結(jié)尾,暮年的紐蘭只是在艾倫的窗下仰望了一會便轉(zhuǎn)身緩緩離開。無法相守依舊可以相愛。
他與艾倫的愛超出了物質(zhì)和性,是銘刻于靈魂上的真愛。愛到最后,在不在一起早已不再重要。
年輕的艾倫一直活在紐蘭的心中,笑靨如花。
