黑骏马读后感英文版黑骏马读后感英文版《黑骏马》是由译林出版社出版的‘,作者是安娜•塞维尔,以下是精心准备的黑骏马英文版,大家可以参考以下内容哦!“Animals deserveour kindness,sympathy andunderstanding,“that iswhat Anna Sewell—the authorof Black Beauty—wantedto convinceher readers.Thanks toSewell,I nowthink abouttheanimal—human relationshipfrom boththe humanand the animalspoint ofview.The inspirationfor AnnaSewell snovel wasdrawn fromherown relationshipwith horses.AnnaSewellwas bornon March20th,1820in Norfolk,England andwas crippledwhile stillvery young.Due toher disability,she reliedon horse-drawn carriagesandgrew tolove horsesas a result.She alsobecame appalledby thecarelessand crueltreatment horsesoften receivedfrom humansanddetermined towrite abook..In thesecond yearof workonthe book,she wastold that she hadonly eighteenmonths tolive,but shepersevered in order“to inducekindness,sympathy andanunderstanding[of the]treatment ofhorses.Five yearslater,she was still workingon Black Beauty,her onlybook.Unfortunately,Sewell dieda fewmonths afterpublication andneverlearned of the books hugesuess.Black Beautyformed animpassioned pleafor animalrights humanhaveno rightto abusethem,or killthem.On thecontrary,weshould protectthem,which isour realsacred andgloriousobligation.Do notput the〃bearing reinon theanimals.It iscruel.Do not always focus on ourown happiness.It isselfish.Try toopen oureyes toanimals that are sufferinga hard life.Try to understand TheBlack Beauty,and theauthor.Try togive ahand inending the abuse of animals.At last,I wantto concludeby asentence fromthisbook,“there isno religionwithout love,and peoplemay talkasmuch as they likeabout theirreligion,but ifit dosenot teachthemto begood andkind toother animalsas wellas humans,itis alla shame”atatime whensuch anotion hadbeen dismissedas ridiculous.The novelportrayed thereal conditionof workinghorsesliving inBritain duringthe VictorianEra.In that time period,the wealthythought thattheir horseswere treatedwell becausetheynever steppedinto thestable.In orderto callpeople sattentionto horseshard life,Sewell tellsthe storythroughthe first-person narrativevoice ofa horse.This innovativepersonificationofananimal made the booka realsuess.Readersheard thestories straightfrom the horse smouth,literally,as ananimal spokeof extremesof joyand suffering.People wereshockedby thetruth exposedby the novel andchanged theirattitudestowards animals.Sewell formedthenovelwith threekinds ofcharacters:BlackBeauty,Ginger andother farmanimals.Through theirdifferentexperiences,I sawsimilarly painfullives ledby theanimals.This methodmadetheearnest appealfor animalrights beemoreand morepersuasive.As adomestic animal,Black Beauty was continuouslysold fromonefamily toanother.Over theyears Beautyenjoyed goodmastersbut alsoendured meanones.Sometimes,he wascared for and atothertimes tortured.In theend,everything turnsout allrightin astory thatis sotender andyet meaningful.His storywasso vividthat caughtthe readersheart.The novelbrought peoplelaughterand tearsand alsoenlightened themto understand animalsat thesame time.Animals cannotspeak sounderstanding issignificant tothem.Once,for example,Beauty wasdrawing thecarriage toa woodenbridge.The bridgewas floodedout inthe riverand John,the groom,was notaware thatit wascracked.But thequickly realizedthatsomething waswrong because of Beautys abnormalbehavior.Momentarily,a manshouted tothem,Stop!Stop!•••The bridgeisbroken inthe middle.If youe across,you11fall inthe river!Beauty hadsaved John.However,if Johnhad nottried tounderstandwhat Beautywanted totell him,there woulddefinitely have beenan aident.I learntfrom thestory thatunderstanding animalsisnot onlyessential tothem butis alsobeneficial tous ourselves..Usually,we havecontact withmany world-famous novels,telling theessence oflife.The storiesof charactersvlife moveusgive usa lotof enlightenment.However,Anna Sewellvs Black Beauty is a differentone,asits maincharacter isa black,handsome horsecalled Black Beauty.Sewell hasspent6years onthis book,while she was seriouslysick.Unfortunately,she diedsoon afterher onlybook inher wholelifewas published.As Sewellwas crippledand unableto walksince ayoungage,she bynature hadsympathy on the poor animals.Therefore,Black Beautyit isnotafairy tale,but abook whichseriouslytalks theissue ofthe abuseof animals.And thisstory isnarrated inthe firstperson as anautobiographical memoirby Black Beauty himself.In thisway,itbees easierfor readerstounderstandthe wholestory betterandmore clearly.When Ibegin toread this book,I amabsorbed inthis bookimmediately,as ifI werethe horse,experiencing hislife withdifficultiesand set-backs.Black Beauty,who haschanged hisname forseveral timesduringdifferent periodsof lifetime,isahandsome horsewitha lifefull ofboth happinessand suffering.He hasbeen welltrained,so healways triedto behavewell.However,then hewas sold from oneowner toanother,he begantorealize howtragic hisfate is.His life story hasmoved allthereaders deeply.The authorstarted thisstory byBlack Beautydescribing hismemoryabout hishappy childhood,when hewas aompaniedby hismotherand taughtto bea goodhorse.At the age of2,Black Beautywitnessedan aidentof huntingforahare,which causedthe riderfallingfrom thehorse,dead.Later thatwounded horsewas killed.And attheageof4,BlackBeauty wasold enoughto beginthe useof saddle,bridle,carriageharness andshoes.Then hewas sentto Birtwick Park andnamedof Black Beauty byMrs.Gordon.BirtwickParkbecame hisfirstpleasant homefor threeyears,where hegrew strongand metmanyfriends withdifferent characteristicsand experiences.One ofhis friendswas Ginger,who wasill-tempered becauseofa hardlife withprevious owners.And as aresult,Ginger oftengotwild andbit others.Sir Olivergot ashortened tailbecausehis previousowner thoughtit wasfashionable.Also,there wasagroom,little JoeGreen.At first,hewastoo youngto knowhow toproperly how to takecareofthehot andtired Black Beauty afteran emergency,makingBlack Beautyseriously sick.Grieved,Joe beganto dohis besttolearn horscare.However,soon,the Gorgonshad tomove becauseofMrs.Gordon“s health,so theysold Black Beauty andGingerto EarlshallPark.In EarlshallPark,the useof bearing rein madeGinger andBlackBeauty painful,so finallyill-tempered Gingerrebelled.Then shewas usedas ahunter,but BlackBeauty wasmuch praisedbecauseonce hesaved LadyAnne.However,his unfortunatelifehas notchanged sincethen.Our poorBlackBeautygot hiskneesruined becauseMr.Rubber Smith,who wasdrunk,took BlackBeautyon adangerous rideand at last killed himself afterfalling down.As aresult,BlackBeautywas soldasajob horse.Although,hewas arrangedby asmart customerto besold toa gentlemanafterwards,he stillhad ahardlife,because thegroom stoletheoats inhis food.Tired ofthe troubleof keepinga horse,thegentleman soldBlackBeautyagain,This time,BlackBeautywas luckyto havea kind-hearted newowner;a cabdriver inLondon calledJerry.What”s more,Jerryvs familieswere allkind-hearted,which madeBlackBeautyhappyto bearthe hardwork ofpulling a cab everyday.By chance,hemet Ginger.She wasmistreated asacab horse;in sucha greatpainthatshewas longingfor death.And soon,it cametrue.Atthe sametime,Jerry becameweaker andweaker,and finallyhe wasillin bedafter waitingfor twocustomers ona bittercold night.After hisrecovery,Jerry wastold notto workasscab driveranymore,so BlackBeautywassold again.BlackBeauty“s new owner,a corndealer,was kindto him,but thedealer“s foreman,Jakes,often overworkedthehorseandused thebearingrein.Once advertisedby akind lady,Jakes waseasieron BlackBeauty.However,the darkstables nearlymadeBlack Beautyblind.After soldto workasacabhorseagain,Beautywas tooold andtoo weak.Once hewas exhaustedbecause oftheheavy load.Saved frombeing putdown bya doctor,Beauty foundanewowner,afarmer.With fulleffort,he rejuvenatedBeauty andsold him toMiss Ellenand MissBlomefield.To Beauty”s surprise,he metJoeGreen there.Form thenon,BlackBeautybegan ahappy lifeathis lasthome.After readingthisbook,one mayadmire BlackBeauty”sstrong will,persistence,and loyalty,or feelsympathetic onhimand feelhappy forhimtoget ahappy ending.However,it needsourdeeper thinking,a muchdeeper thinking.In fact,Sewelldoesn”t onlyfocusonshowing BlackBeauty“s greatcharacteristics.By tellingBlackBeauty”s whole lifestory,she aimedat revealingthe hardlife of animals at that timeandaltering usthe crimeof thosewho abuse animals.From Beauty”s sufferingduring hiswholelifetime,we canseethe tragiclife of animals atthattime.Some peopleran aftertheso-called fashionblindly.In orderto satisfytheir ownvanity,they ignoredanimals”great pain.For example,SirOliver”s shortenedtail.What theso-called fashiongaveanimals isgreat painrather thana beautifulappearance.Somepeople knewnothing abouthowtokeep animals,and werealwaysmaking themwork allday long.They abusedtheanimalsto makeasmuch moneyas possibleuntil theydied.Therefore,onthedaywhen theanimals died,their holidaywas onthe way.For example,the poorGinger thatdied foroverwork.Though somepeople keptanimalswell,their mainpurpose wasto havefun andto showoff.They weremore abominable.For example,inorderto huntfor ahare,the riderkilledhimselfatlastand causedthe woundedhorsevs death.As Beautysaid,it wasn“t worthwhile,wasn titThose peoplewho abusedanimalsshowed nosympathy orloveon thepooranimalsat all.When theyneeded animals,they keptanimals;when theydidn“t needanimals,they killedanimalsruthlessly.To them,all animalswere toys,from whichthey couldmakefun,or tools,from whichthey couldmake money.And thefateof animalsatthattime,like horses,was beingsoldfromone ownertoanother,experiencing differentkinds ofsuffering inthe wholelife.From thestandpoint ofanimals,it mustbe terribleto besoldagain andagain.Let“s seewhat the result is.Sir Olivergot greatannoyanceand disfortbecauseofits shortenedtail.Ginger wasill-temperedand bitothers often.What”s more,numerous animalsdied becauseofover work.What atragedy!In fact,the abuseofanimalsnot onlyhappened inthe past,but alsotoday,maybe rightat thismoment,a civilizedage.Yearsago,I gotto knowthat afew girlscut downa cat“s feet,andthen threwit onthe street,leaving itbleeding todeath.Andthe yearbefore,it wasreported thata studentfrom QingHuaUniversity,gave blackbears sulfateto drink,which gaveblackbears agreat pain.As tothe factsthat someold orsick animalsareabandoned,it hasbeen verymon.Although someorganizationsaiming atprotecting animalshavebeenset up,the abuseof animalscannot beprevented.Maybe nowadaystheabuseofanimalswascaused bylife pressure,but lifepressure cannot bean excusetoabuseanimals.Those peoplewho liveunder lifepressure shouldfindother waysto solvethe problem,but notavoid itby hurtinganimals.However,if onecan treatanimals kindly,theresultwill bedifferent.Kind peoplewho loveanimals,such asMrs.Gordon,Joe,Jerry,get animals“love andrespect inreturn.As theywerefriendly tohorses,horses arefriendly tothem andwould liketodo asmuch workastheycan forthem,even sacrificethemselveswhen theirowners werein danger.I amsure,animals andhuman canbee goodfriends.No animalswilldo harmto human,if humanhave notfrightened themfirst.If youwould liketo tryto havea closeand friendlytouch withanimals,whether tigersor dogs,you willfind thatthey arelovely.Its truethat weare muchcleverer thananimals,but ourintelligenceshould notact asthe toolto dominantanimals.Infact,we humanand animalshave thesame feeling,because weareall createdby one nature,and shareonenaturetogether.Therefore,。
