初中美文赏析《一一风荷举》读后感

第一篇：初中美文赏析《一一风荷举》读后感

风荷一一举

——读《一一风荷举》有感

初读张晓风的《一一风荷举》，便觉得她的文字广阔如人生，淡有淡味，浓有浓情，发人深思。

不同于我读过的其他散文，张晓风的作品在释怀散文家怀旧动人温情的同时，将满腔柔情与深刻哲思相互融合，令人回味无穷。

翻开荷花映衬的扉页，两行字便映入眼帘：“或见或不见，花总在那里。或盈或缺，月总在那里。” 是啊，不要做一朝的看花人吧，不要做一夕的赏月人吧，人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，世间万物有哪一个不曾完美，又有哪一个时时刻刻都美好完满呢？

阅读目录，才发现这本书是集她半世纪出版以来的八十余篇精华而成的精粹本。泛泛地读了读，很快便爱上了张晓风前两章描写大自然及其在自然中无限的遐思的段落。

再细品，发觉她的文风，既涵盖了古典散文的含情脉脉，就似姑苏小巷中流淌的涓涓细流；又囊括了现代文简洁明了、通俗易懂的平常特色，看似平实，读着读着便会惊叹，中国文字的博大精深。

张晓风的文字值得斟酌。每个动词，每个名词，每个量词，每个形容词，都传神得能将静物刻画得自然逼真，活灵活现。好比《魔季》中，“蓝天打了蜡，．小树叶儿也都上了釉彩。”“阳光的酒调得很淡，却很醇，浅浅的斟在每一个杯形．．．．．．的小野花里。”“所有柔嫩的枝叶都被邀舞了，窸窣地响起一片搭虎绸和细纱相擦．．．．．．的一群声。四月是音乐季呢。”

张晓风笔下的颜色也格外新鲜明快。“相思树是墨绿的，荷叶桐是浅绿的，．．．．新生的竹子是翠绿的，刚冒尖儿的小草是黄绿的，藤萝植物是嫩绿的，树下的苔．．．．．．藓是鲜绿的。”当然，娇美如昔的花朵儿也是色彩斑斓的，浅绿的，嫩黄的，肉．．粉的，水红色的，熟杏色的，月牙白的，樱桃红的，天蓝色的，紫罗兰色的······真是让我眼花缭乱，应接不暇。

紧接着又在自然中“观音”，“宽广的音乐台上，响着甜美渺远的木萧，古典的七弦琴以及综综然的小银铃，合奏着繁复的自然之声。”

纵览全文，处处都氤氲着作者爱的香气息，对大自然的爱，对生活的爱，对诗词的爱，对人生的爱，对书籍的爱······张晓风似乎无所不爱，是她，将这份爱的暖流，通过书这条一望无际的河道，缓缓传入每位读者的心灵、脑海，传向世界······

《一一风荷举》，一本自然清新的散文集，正如张晓风自己所说：“世间万物，或如荷花，或如橘柚之花。皆各有其芳香郁烈，而我是那多事的风，把众香气来作四下播扬。”

细细想来，这不同的花，就如不同的人所作的文章，风格迥异，而张晓风的文字则是集万千风格于一本书的文字，时而轻柔，时而坚毅，时而明朗，又时而阴沉······

读她的文章，能体会到女子一切好气象，好情怀；读她的文章，能跟随文字漫步到另外一个境界，明白生命的意义；读她的文章，能恍悟人原来也可以有权不知不识到大而大剌剌地活下去······

第二篇：读《一一风荷举》有感

读《一一风荷举》有感

闲暇之余，偶然发现书堆下的新书《一一风荷举》，信手拿来，如饥似渴地读起来。

这是张晓风的一本散文集，作者将自己的所见所闻所感，全部凝结于笔尖，纸上，每一篇散文短而巧，精致而又细腻。读者从中可以了解到她的价值观、人生观。很朴实，却又不乏典雅。

《生命，以什么单位计量》，我看完后顿时沉思了，文中讲述了一个小男孩跟作者比电动玩具的多少、大小。而作者却回答：“我没有电动玩具，大的没有，小的也没有。”

如此的一个小孩，竟会懂得与别人比物质上的享受，而不明白作者根本看不起。孩子，会用电动玩具的多和少，大与小来跟别人作对比。以此来谋求胜别人一筹的感受，以此来感受攀比的成功。这其实就好比两个大人之间，比钱、比权、比车……如今，这种庸俗的习气，已“传染”给了小孩。小孩也学会了与别人攀比。如果自己赢了，就好像自己生命更有价值，似乎有种“飘飘欲仙”，“君临天下”的感觉。

然而，真正的财富，并不局限于金钱、权力、车。而是人对世界，对别人作出的`贡献。如今，巴菲特不就是一个好例子吗？比钱，没几个人比得过他，他富可敌国。他却仍住老式公寓，开二手车，家里椅子还缺一条“腿”。他不攀比，不奢侈，节俭低调，他立下遗嘱，死后99%的财产捐给慈善机构，他将流芳百世，因为他不仅拥有财富，而且懂得如何看待财富，如何支配财富。他不拿别人的生命同自己比，同样也不以金钱、权力、工作、智商来评价一个人。这才是真正完美的生命，这才是拥有人生真正的财富。

文章中说得好：“我是我，不以公斤，不以公分，不以智商，不以学位，不以畅销的‘册数’来计量。我，不纳入计量单位。”

第三篇：美文赏析读后感

美文赏析读后感

它有4片金灿灿的花瓣，这桂花闪闪发光，如同黄澄澄的灿烂光茫，桂花的样子像千姿百态的孙悟空的七十二变，有的像给我们打招呼，有的像可爱无比的小动物，温顺可爱，还不停的发出香气，有的像一家人在放风筝，……这些变-态万千的动物，美文赏析读后感。这些小小的桂花，竟然可以把全世界都香住了，还把蚂蚁的鼻子都给香透了，这些小小的桂花，真让人不可思议。早晨，天气晴朗，阳光明媚，让人神清气爽，在到屋后看看那美丽的桂花，更让人精神百倍走起路来都轻轻松松的。这就是我们家乡的桂花，如果你来，你就像来到天堂般的香气迷人的世界朋友之间不是存在着一种爱吗?亲人之间不是存在着爱吗?摔倒时，朋友的一次搀扶;生病时，朋友的问候声;节日时，互赠贺卡，这全是爱的表现。爱，是无处不有的，它就像空气一般，能穿越全世界。前阵子，非典型肺炎祸害着人们，医生用他们的爱，精心医治患者，与非典作了一场无硝烟的战争。曾几何时，人们的爱战胜了无情的非典。我们需要爱，但我们更需要别人付出爱。走在街道上，把钱施舍给一位乞丐;或走上献血车无偿献血等，这些虽然是在无意中进行着，但也是一种爱。有了爱，我们的生活不再单调、枯燥了，读后感《美文赏析读后感》。我只得坐在位置上发呆，这感觉是多么难熬啊，更何况旁边那位仁兄还在一个劲儿地抽烟，烟味把我熏得够戗。鼻子难受得要命，我只好转过身去。再看看周围，大家有说有笑，没有一丝烦躁。“他们怎么那么有耐心啊?”我生气地想。时间似乎故意和我作对——走得慢极了，烦躁、焦急一起涌上心来，我不停地看表，盯着那慢慢移动的秒针。41、42、43……我慢慢地数着，心里冒出一股无名火——你咋跑得这么慢呢!读后感:一提到《西游记》大家肯定能将其中的一些片段记得滚瓜烂熟，我也一样，再一次拿出那本在书架上已微微发黄的《西游记》，爱不释手，道一杯香茗，没翻开几页，随着吴承恩爷爷的精彩描绘，就被其中的情节给吸引住了。读了《西游记》我深有感触，文中曲折的情节和唐僧师徒的离奇经历给我留下了深刻的印象。本书作者罗贯中为读者讲述了唐僧以及其他的三个徒弟一路上历尽艰险、降妖伏魔经历了九九八十一难取得了真经的故事。《西游记》向人们展示了一个绚丽多彩的神魔世界，人们无不在作者丰富而大胆的艺术想象面前惊叹不已。然而，任何一部文学作品都是一定社会生活的反映，作为神魔小说杰出代表的《西游记》 通过《西游记》中虚幻的神魔世界，我们处处可以看到现实社会的投影 这四个人物形象各有特点，性格各不相同，恰好形成了鲜明的对比，这使我不得不佩服作者写作技艺的高超，也许作者善于刻画人物形象便是他的精妙之处。其中我最喜欢的便是孙悟空，因为他神通广大、技艺高超，一路保护唐僧成功地取得了真经，他就成了我心目中的英雄。而且在他身上还有一种叛逆心理，以及他敢于和强大势力做斗争的勇敢的精神令我十分欣赏。书中写唐僧师徒经理了八十一个磨难有让我联想到了他们的执着、不畏艰险、锲而不舍的精神。这着实是一种值得我们学习的精神。再想想自己的半途而废、虎头蛇尾，我不禁惭愧自己当初为何不能像他们一样坚持到底呢?也许这就是我所缺少的，只要我能把一件事情从头做到尾，不管我是成功了还是失败了，只要我尽力去做了，这对我来说也是一种成功啊!因为我去做了，而且坚持到了最后

第四篇：美文赏析——《钢铁是怎样炼成的》读后感

人最宝贵的东西是生命，生命属于人只有一次，美文赏析——《钢铁是怎样炼成的》读后感。人的一生应该是这样度过的：当他回首往事的时候，他不会因为虚度年华而悔恨，也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。《钢铁是怎样炼成的》这本书描写的是主人公保尔•柯察金怎样从一个沙皇统治时代的懵懂少年成为苏维埃政权里的一个优秀青年的历程。保尔是一个是一位刚强而无私的人。他像牛忙一样忠诚地坚持着为革命、为人们贡献自己。少年时期，他为掩护革命者而入狱；中年时期，他为革命在沙场上与敌人抗争；后来又去做工人，为人们服务；不久，由于疾病被迫退伍后，为人们作文学贡献。相比之下，那些庸碌的人又是多么的渺小。为金钱的贪婪，为地位的奸诈，为荣誉的虚伪，哪一个都比不上保尔为革命的坚贞。他们为达到目的而不择手段，他们那花天酒地的应酬，一点不比保尔在雪中披着单衣铲雪有意义，读后感《美文赏析——《钢铁是怎样炼成的》读后感》。保尔确实把整个生命和全部精力都献给了世界上最壮丽的事业了。而我们呢？所谓的“祖国的花朵”，不应该为祖国美好的未来而绽放自己吗？“好好学习，天天向上”不仅是口上说的，更重要的是行动。但看看当今社会的青少年，吸烟的，赌博的，追潮流的，有些最终走上了不归路。这样好吗？经不起挫折，容易轻生，好吗？当然不好。生命宝贵，而在珍爱生命的基础上，更要延伸生命的价值，为社会、为全人类作贡献。人生是崎岖的，幸运的是我们知道保尔。他的坚强、乐观、无私，将鼓舞我们勇敢地接受磨练，成为一块坚硬的钢铁。杨霆轩

A Strange Present One day, when I was 14, my uncle sent me a pink T-shirt from ST.Louis, Missouri as my birthday present.On a beautiful Sunday morning, I wore this pink T-shirt and walked gently to the market.On the way, some boys whistled at me.I became very nervous, so I walked faster and more properly with more decorum, but more and more boys whistled at me later.Therefore, I couldn’t help but become more agitated.Suddenly, I turned back and run to my home.I asked my mother, “Why did the boys whistled at me?” My mother looked at my T-shirt with a smile and said nothing.Then I turned to my father.“Why did the boys whistle at me?” My father looked at my beautiful new T-shirt and then laughingly asked, “Are you lonely?” Suddenly, I realized why the boys were whistling at me.The message on my pink T-shirt was“I am lonely”.[注释]：

whistle: a small wind instrument for making whistling sounds by means of the breath 口哨

properly: characterized by appropriateness or suitability;fitting 恰当的decorum: the conventions of polite behavior 礼貌

It will cost you about 20 million US dollars.At least that’s what Dennis Tito recently paid for a trip to the International Space Station.What if you aren’t rich, but still want to travel in space? Don’t worry.Research supported by NASA might make your dream come true.Scientists are refining a process that, if successful, will enable rockets to take off from the back of an airplane.If people do end up taking vacations in space, don’t worry about finding somewhere to stay.Businessmen like British Richard Branson are already thinking about building hotels out there.[注释]：

NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration(美国)国家航空航天局；美国航天及太空总署

end up: 结束；告终

Keeping Pleasant In these grim times, weighed down with tension and pressure from the realities of life, many people have lost their sense of humor.They tend to keep a straight face all day long and fail to keep life in perspective.They forget how to smile and finally become physical and mental wrecks.They regard life as a burden, and tend to look on the dark side of things.Well goes a saying, “Laugh, and grow fat.” Laughter releases tension, and smiling helps create a pleasant social atmosphere.And, thus, in a way, a sense of humor is an elixir that helps cure mental diseases.Some patients even improve their physical and mental health by reading humorous stories or watching funny movies.This proves that a sense of humor helps us look at the world in a true and healthy light and makes our life worth living.[注释]：

grim: rigid 无情的，严酷的

tension: uneasy suspense 紧张(状态)，不安

perspective: subjective evaluation of relative significance;a point of view 观点，评价； in dim bimbo 又笨又坏的女人

The Man I Respect Most My father is the man I respect most.Stern as he may be, he never fails to show his care and consideration.Once I broke a neighbor’s window.Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately.When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what had happened.I could only tell him the truth.Rather than scold me, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor.I learned from this episode that not only does Dad take care of our health but he also teaches us how to be good citizens.How lucky I am to have such a good father!

[注释]：

stern : severe, strict 严厉的

consideration : careful thought;deliberation 体谅，考虑

uneasiness : 不安

episode : an incident or event that is part of a progression or a larger sequence 插

My Time of Happiness Each Day As a student, most of my time is spent on school work and other school-related activities.Consequently, my time of happiness each day is very limited.However, this is not to say that I am not happy every day.In fact, I really enjoy coming home from school each evening and having dinner with my family.After dinner, I read or watch some TV with my family.This is a happy time for me every day.But my happiest time of a day is just before I fall asleep.Lying in bed, I think about all I achieved that day, and it makes me happy to know that the day was full.[注释]：

consequently : therefore 从而，因此

achieve : to perform or carry out with success;accomplish 完成，达到

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening 《风雪夜 林边停》是一首著名的诗歌。写的是雪夜美景？写的是守诺如一？写的是 人生不得不向前行？不同的读者会有完全不同的理解。这大概就是文学批评中所说的“接受 美学”的观点吧。

Whose woods these are I think I know,His house is in the village though.He will not see me stopping here,To watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queer,To stop without a farmhouse near,Between the woods and frozen lake,The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake,To ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound’s the sweep，英语晨读精华

Home—A Joy Forever Home means a lot to me.“Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.” I appreciate the warmth of my home, and regard it as one of the brightest and dearest spots on earth.It is the place where I can take refuge whenever I meet with difficulties, failures and even frustrations in my daily life.At home, my dear parents and brothers and sisters will comfort me and cheer me up.And with their concern and encouragement, I will regain my self-confidence and muster up all my strength and courage to face the stern realities of life.To me, home is forever a joy where I can always find love, understanding, care and help.[注释]：

I chanced to rise very early one particular morning this summer, and took a walk into the country to divert myself among the fields and meadows, while the green was new, and the flowers in their bloom.As at this season of the year every lane is a beautiful walk, and every hedge full of nosegays, I lost myself, with a great deal of pleasure, among several thickets and bushes that were filled with a great variety of birds, and an agreeable confusion of notes, which formed the pleasantest scene in the world to one who had passed a whole winter in noise and smoke.The freshness of the dews that lay upon everything about me, with the cool breath of the morning, which inspired the birds with so many delightful instincts, created in me the same kind of animal pleasure, and made my heart overflow with such secret emotions of joy and satisfaction as are not to be described or accounted for.—Joseph Addison, Tulips

Exploring the Oceans

洋世界到底有多少未知的秘密? Ever wonder what lives in the Earth’s waters? Some 300 scientists from 53 different countries are wondering the same thing.For the first time in history, scientists are trying to count how many species of fish, animals and plants live under water.They are conducting a census of life in the world’s oceans, which cover 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface.The study began in 2000 and is expected to end in 2010, at a cost of US$1 billion.So far, scientists have counted more than 15,000 species of fish and around 200,000 species of animals and plants in the oceans.They expect to find at least another 5,000 species of fish.Scientists believe that the animals and plants they’ve found so far represent just 10 per cent of the world’s total underwater population.That means that they expect to find almost 2 million species of animals and 英语晨读精华

plants by 2010.“Our goal by 2010 is to know as much about life in the oceans as we know about life on land now,” says a marine biologist who is working on the project.The newly-discovered species are not all new species.Many of them have just never been recorded before.Scientists fear that the growing human population is decreasing the variety of species living in the ocean.They hope the census will help them learn how human activity, such as fishing and agriculture, is affecting the oceans.[注释]：

New Pictures of an Old Universe 这段科技文章看似复杂难懂，其实不难。读的同时不妨仔细分析这类文章的特点，这对 于在考试中阅读理解同类文章一定有帮助。

For thousands of years humans have wondered how and when the universe first began.Now, thanks to some photographs taken by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe(WMAP), scientists are much closer to understanding, even seeing, the universe in its beginning years.This is all possible thanks to the WMAP satellite in orbit about one million miles above Earth.The satellite is specially designed to record one kind of cosmic energy: microwave radiation.It can use this radiation to show us what the universe looked like 13.3 billion years ago!

Wait a minute...how can this satellite show us a picture of the universe billions of years ago? The Big Bang created the universe in a huge explosion, and at the same time it created a specific field of radiation—called the cosmic microwave background, or CMB.This CMB still lingers in the universe today.What the satellite actually does is take pictures of the CMB.So what did scientists learn from these new pictures? First, they learned that stars formed very soon— merely 200 million years— after the Big Bang.And they were able to confirm estimates of the universe’s age: it was born about 13.7 billion years ago.This is the age that 英语晨读精华

scientists long suspected to be true, but now they have the birthday pictures to prove it!

Three Days to See 下面的文字摘选自海伦·凯勒的自传《假如给我三天光明》。海伦虽然自幼丧失了视力 和听觉，但却是一个生活在黑暗中而给人类带来光明的女性。她在1904 年获得学位，成为 优秀的讲师和作家。“我要把别人眼睛所看见的光明当作我的太阳，别人的耳朵听见的音乐 当作我的乐曲，别人嘴角的微笑当作我的快乐。”她接受了命运的挑战，获得了超越自己的 喜悦。我们为之感动的不仅是文字本身的优美和其中所含的真情，还包括字里行间所反映的 那颗伟大心灵。

Most of us, however, take life for granted.We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future.When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable.We seldom think of it.The days stretch out in an endless vista.So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.„

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they 英语晨读精华

see.Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed.“Nothing in particular,” she replied.I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such reposes, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf.I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine.In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter’s sleep.I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions;and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush through my open finger.To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.——Helen Keller

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor’s lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall 英语晨读精华
