瓦尔登湖读后感英文 篇1

梦,似真似幻,一如泡沫般易碎,又如钢特般坚韧。我读着梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》,体味着他的,自由之梦。

每个梦都是特别且唯一的。或许正是这一种特别,造就了《瓦尔登湖》。梭罗用他真挚的情感与纯粹的初心来见证着、思考着这个社会,或许正是这颗纯粹的初心和执着的精神,展现了他与众不同的一面。他那孩童般的好奇心与任性、轻蔑的态度,也让我们看到了这个社会不同的一面。

他不愿意与这忙碌的社会有太多的交集,所以他跑到森林里去了。每天过着农民般自给自足的生活,但是又不完全等同于农民。他近乎虔诚的挥洒着汗水,过着隐士的生活,但他有大把大把的时间来研究这里的一草一木,来研究四季的更替,来思考!恰恰是这一生的思考,留下了太多太多。他的真理、他的顿悟、他的明朗,给后人留下了不朽的瑰宝,时刻警醒着世人:勿忘根本,勿忘!

梭罗曾说,致力于耕作时,我充满了难以形容的自信,愉快地从事劳动对未来信心十足。虽然从事劳动学时辛劳的,伴着甘冽的泉水品味着成熟硕果,这滋味难以言述!但他不止于此,他还想播种真诚、真理、朴素、信心、单纯等种子,这些珍惜的品质,大都散失四方。一方面,他恳切地希望人与人之间少一点客套虚伪,停下忙碌的脚步善待这些珍贵之物。另一方面,他高昂着头颅,以批判的态度审视着这个资本社会,充裕的时间给予了他思维的活性,他的思考深入人心、鞭辟入里,带着对社会的批判,带着对他梦想的执着追求。

梭罗有一种与众不同的追求,不同于城市人对金钱名利的执着追求,而是一种更高级的生活,他将其称之为——本能。像大多数人那样的精神生活的本能,所以他阅读、交流、思考,但同时还追求原始状态和野性的本能,这是一种毫不掩饰的释放自己,与大自然融为一体。他可以坐在树下,安安静静地读一本书,也可以坐在小船里挥舞着船桨击打着水面,看碧波泠泠,听回响不穷。他的真性情,丝毫不作为的处事,让我隔着墨香四溢的纸张,透过近两百年的光阴,也能清晰地感受到。

我最爱他的小诗:

“把你的视线转向内心

你会发现心中一千个未发现的地区

到这些地方去旅行

是自己成为家中宇宙学的专家”

有梦,没什么办不了,只要你愿意,太阳也可以因你而破晓。他,不拘于时,率真活泼,高傲又任性。他的散文,与之批判,更像是一场命中注定的追梦之旅。

瓦尔登湖读后感英文 篇2

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 .

瓦尔登湖读后感英文 篇3

26个月的时间,不仅隔着文明与原始的距离,还横亘了平静与喧嚣的对话。美国作家亨利·梭罗以沉思者的身份,隐居在他自己亲手搭建的木屋中,在康桥德城的瓦尔登湖上,过着与世隔绝般的闲适生活——建房、开阡陌、种豆,“一蓑烟雨任平生”。

他说:“来到这片树林仅仅是因为自己想过一种静静省察的生活,有时间去面对人生最本质的问题。”瓦尔登湖很美,梭罗乐此不疲重复着单一的事情,钓鱼、烘焙蛋糕、接受访客;一天虔诚劳动休憩、阅读。瓦尔登湖很美,晨昏下变幻的树林,四季迥异的湖面,沼泽上低飞的鹰隼。那是青春女神赫柏经过的伊甸园,即使经历凛冽、炎热,仍不变春天漫溯的蹁跹。“若至春和景明,波澜不惊,上下天光,一碧万顷;沙鸥翔集,锦鳞游泳;岸芷汀兰,郁郁青青。”在纤尘不染的美中,我们开始“省察”文明人需要铅色冰冷的物质世界。

“文明人走过的足迹,只留下一片荒凉。”原始与文明,隔了时间,隔了人本质的迁途。在那个茹毛饮血的年代,人们敬畏它,爱护它;但在这个日日笙歌的年代,人类挑衅它、剥削它!这是一张在私欲中暴露的人类狰狞的面孔!“你侮辱着大地,居然还敢议论天堂。”梭罗愤懑地说,但尽管如此,瓦尔登湖仍在生长着,如同大自然宽恕了我们无节制的打击,以强者的姿态,漠视了我们可笑的癫狂。

大自然的美是一种本返璞归真后的自由。李太白懂这个道理,仕途失意流连祖国山河,一壶酒饮尽蜀道庐山白帝城;陶潜懂这个道理,傲骨不为三斗米折腰,隐居“中无杂树,芳草鲜美”的桃花源;周庄懂这个道理,论鱼梦蝶逍遥游,不争世俗与天共生与物为一。

孟子曰:“数罟不入洿池,鱼鳖不可胜食。”家中的长者说“靠山吃山,吃山养山。”自然的馈赠,是古人珍惜的,乃我们践踏的,我们视如草芥的,将来人们视如珍宝。

大自然是贫匮而风雅的智者,安之若素走过颠沛流离的岁月,被战火、硝烟泯灭了模样,却依旧笑傲人间。而我们,要做仁者,仁慈宽厚对待环境,才能永存。

瓦尔登湖读后感英文 篇5

寻找宁静——读《瓦尔登湖》有感

那两年,时光像一条清澈的溪流在他的生命里留下深深的印记。

他永远不会忘记那些沐浴着冬日阳光的铺满松针的小径,那些在清澈湖水里游弋的银色鳟鱼;那些恣意盛开的蓝菖蒲,像冰蓝的火焰轰轰烈烈地燃烧在短暂的花季:那些春末夏初时突然晕开了绿色的白桦,挺拔地朝向湛蓝的天空:还有那道湖面上架起的神奇虹桥,那串挂在屋檐下的晶亮冰凌。当然,他一定会记得在田埂上挥动锄头的日子里,汗水顺着脸颊淌下,他看着它融进土地,内心生出满足愉悦的情绪;在悠然荡漾于湖面的午后,他伸手轻轻拨动碧绿的湖水,一只细长的虫子摆着身子惊慌地跑开了。

梭罗,我念着他的名字,抚摩这本《瓦尔登湖》,感受到一种令人震惊又无比神奇的力量。世上竟有这样一个人,他用两年的光阴离群独居,以证明人类实际上只需要最简单的物质资料即可过上正常而充实的生活。梭罗,他于简单的生活里寻觅着宁静,他心如明镜,涟漪不起。这是一种返璞归真的淡定从容,是一次思想崇高的涅槃。可是,这位哲人的名字如今还有多少人能够记起?

或许,物欲横流的当今,人们已经遗忘了阿卡德米学院的林荫道上,亚里士多德和柏拉图关于“世界是否真实?我们是否应当追寻现世的幸福”的争论;人们也许不屑于“荒山野屋间二三素心之人培养之事”的成就境界;人们也许偶然听到“悟已往之不谏,知来者之可追”时低头一阵轻愁,终究还是匆匆而去。

是繁华的现代都市生活迷失了我们原本明澈的双眼,是喧嚣嘈杂覆盖了朴实和谐的自然之音。灯红酒绿的酒吧,人声鼎沸的商场,不安的灵魂游走在寂寞的都市里。有人抱怨社会的残酷,有人质疑生活的意义,还有人忙碌地奔走,却陷入更茫然的空虚。我们在红尘里沉浮,找不到心灵栖息的港湾。心是何物?身是何物?为何眼前总有漫天尘埃?

茫然间,窗外有一阵清风拂来,吹开桌头《瓦尔登湖》的书页。有一股油墨的芳香袭来,我一声叹息,仿佛这一声叹息可以减轻我思索不得的苦恼。低下头,细细抚摩着右手粗糙的茧,恍惚中,才想起自己竟快过了十八个春秋了。为名次痛苦过,为富足得意过,却终究未能参透生活的真谛。我望望马路上行色匆匆的人们,准不是在为更舒适的生活忍受着压在肩上的沉重担子?(范文网 )我们的眼睛总是看外界太多,关注心灵太少,所以,我们注定浑浑噩噩地走在路上,寻不得片刻宁静。

一千多年前,一个人写下这样几句偈语:“菩提本无树,明镜亦非台。本来无一物,何处惹尘埃?”清峻的面容像是佛龛上盛开的白莲,朗朗的声音清泉般滋润世人燥热的心田。他就是中国禅宗道统继承人第六代祖师慧能。若有这样一份境界,纵然山崩海摧,沙起云行,总得一份超然清幽。纵使在霰雪无垠的冬季,纵使哲人的脚步声已经远去,我依然记得瓦尔登湖碧绿、深幽的平静湖面。
