故事的主人翁吉姆，是一个十岁大的小男孩，吉姆的父母在黑山海湾旁经营一家旅馆名为「本鲍上将」。有一天，旅馆来了一位脸上带着刀疤、身材高大结实、非常引人注目的客人，原来他就是比尔船长。

吉姆非常喜欢听比尔船长讲故事，那些听起来挺吓人的经历，像是罪犯被处以绞刑、海盗双手被绑而且蒙眼走跳板、突如其来的海上大风暴、遍地骨骸的西班牙海盗巢穴等，每次都让吉姆又爱又怕，也让宁静的小镇增添了不少新鲜刺激的话题。

没多久，比尔船长因为饮酒过量加上受到惊吓而死在旅馆中，吉姆无意间发现比尔身上带着的一张藏宝图，那是海盗普林特船长所遗留下的，于是吉姆和一群人的金银岛寻宝的故事就此展开。心怀不轨的海盗们乔装成一般的水手，当中还包括阴森诡谲的独脚水手西尔弗。大伙儿假装跟着吉姆和利弗希医生一起去寻宝，航海的过程中，充满了千辛万苦和千奇百怪的事。不仅发生了足以让人丧命的疟疾病乱，还曾经发生海盗们群体叛乱的恐怖事件。惊涛骇浪中，到底吉姆一行人最后有没有找到传闻中那座遍地满是黄金宝藏的金银岛呢？他们又是否能平安地带着宝物归来呢？而独脚水手西尔弗又会在紧要关头使出什么阴谋诡计呢？

充满冒险乐趣、惊心动魄、精彩生动的金银岛，绝对让你有高潮迭起、意想不到的深刻体验！

斯蒂文森的《金银岛》对后世的影响也非常大，《金银岛》在好莱坞已经被数次改拍成电影电视，依旧十分受欢迎。可以这么说：如果说中国的孩子是看着《西游记》长大的，那么美国的孩子就是看着《金银岛》长大的，《金银岛》可算是有史以来最好看的海盗小说。

编辑本段作品起源

《金银岛》(又译《宝岛》)是史蒂文森所有作品中流传最广的代表作，其故事情节起源于史蒂文森所画的一幅地图。一八八一年冬，新婚不久的史蒂文森携夫人和养子回到苏格兰的住所。此时天气十分寒冷，屋外雨雪纷飞，全家人只好整天呆在屋内烤火。史蒂文森的养子劳埃德·奥斯本——一位十二岁的男孩要求他干一些有趣的事情来打发时光。于是史蒂文森拿起画笔,画了一幅题为“金银岛”的海岛地图，并把岛上的小山、河流和海港一一命名。史蒂文森后来回忆道：“当我望着金银岛地图时，本书中未来人物的面孔一一浮现在我的脑海里，他们在这几平方英寸的平面图上为探宝而厮杀搏斗，来回奔走。我记得我做的第二件事便是铺开一张纸，在上面写出本书各章目。”

第三篇：金银岛英文读后感

Book Report of

Lots of people may read the masterpiece called .This is an exciting adventure story about a poor boy who lives in a small inn, the Admiral Benbow, run by his parents in Black Hill Cove.The boy’s name is Jim Hawkins.One day, unexpectedly, he finds a treasure map which indicates the treasure hidden by the pirates in Skeleton Island.Then Jim, Dr.Livesey, Captain Smollett and his friend, with a group of sailors, set out journey for the treasure.After a short time, some greed sailors who are led by Long John Silver rebel for the map.These two groups fight fiercely.Evil can never prevail over good.Through each justicial person’s effort, Jim and Captain Smollett win the battle.And later then they go back home with the boat filled with treasure.At the end of the story, Silver runs away with one of the bags of coins, perhaps three or four hundred coins.Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea.Gray, Jim’s friend, saves his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship.Ben Gunn, who is marooned by pirates, gets a thousand pounds.However, he spends all his money in three weeks.Then he has to beg and luckily is given a job as a gatekeeper when he comes back.Though I don’t have a chance to adventure as Jim does, the face of Jim often appears in my mind.Jim is a kind-hearted, brave and ambitious boy.He can always find a good way to solve the problems or beat the pirates.And this book shocks me when I read this part: You are in trouble.Ship lost, treasure lost, men lost.And if you want to know who did it—it was me!I was in the apple barrel the night we saw the island, and I heard every word you said.And the ship? It was me who cut her ropes and killed the men aboard her……Why am I shocked? Because I can’t believe a young boy has such great courage to say those words, and this is admired by me.There’s someone I admire, and of course, there’s someone I hate, like Silver.What I can only find from the pirates are cruelty and selfishness.He kills people without mercy and even becomes crueler.His sole pursuit of treasure results in his red hand never dry.Although it is only a novel, the scenes of the novel always come to my mind.It gives me a lesson.We can’t be selfish, because the selfish one only focuses on himself and can commit immorality or even crimes when trying to protect his own interest.We can see the justice of the spiritual wealth from Jim.What’s more, in my point of view, we should save money in the bank instead of wasting it in our daily life.Wasting money is a bad behavior.The less money we use, the higher spirit level we will have.If we use up our money like Ben Gunn one day, we will be in a big trouble.As a saying goes, “No pain, No gain”.If we try our best to do everything as Jim, I think we will make more progress in many fields.That’s all.Thank you.浙江省金华市永康市二中

第四篇：老人与海(英文书评)

老人与海（The Old Man and the Sea）英文书评(book reviews)

这本书讲了古巴(Cuba)的一个名叫圣地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获(to achieve nothing)的84天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼的劲(vigor)非常大，拖(to drag)着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验，终于把大鱼刺(to stab)死，拴(to tie)在船头(the bow)。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼(a shark)，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗(put up a good fight)，结果大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回只剩下一副光秃秃bald的鱼骨架(a fish skeleton)和一身(all over the body)的伤。最后却得到了人们的赞赏。

《老人与海》完全可能成为当代一部名副其实的经典作品。厄纳斯特·海明威的这部短篇小说处理方法谨严(exact)、注意时间和地点的统一(unite)，行文(a style of writing)简洁而内涵(intension)很深(deep)。另外，和极大多数巨著(a great work)一样，海明威的这篇小说读起来可有不止一层的意思。一方面，这是一个激动人心的带有悲剧性(tragedy)的冒险故事。故事讲到一个精神沮丧(depress)的老渔人，在他对职业的自豪感的支持之下，冒险远航至墨西哥湾流并在那里钓住了一条该水域中从未见过的最大的马林鱼。故事接着说到他孤零零地、在因奋力叉住这条大鱼而耗尽了力气之后，被迫投入一场和一群海盗似的鲨鱼的绝望的搏斗之中，结果是那些鲨鱼只给他留下了猎获物的一具骨架。另一方面，这又是一个寓言，它描述

(describe)了人所具有(possess)的不可征服(conquer)的精神力量——一个人如何从灾难和实际失败的环境中攫取精神上的胜利。再一方面，这是带有宗教意义的一种隐喻(a metaphor)，作者不引人注目地给这一主题添加了基督教(Christian)的一些象征和比喻。一种注意写实(writing or painting realistically)，有着动人的情节(plot)；另一种则侧重(to lay special emphasis on)道德说教，充满象征(badge)的意义。

Translation:(book reviews)

This book tells us a story about a Cuban old man.He went fishing at sea on his own.After more than eighty four days , he fished an extremely large fish.The old man hadn’t ever seen such a big fish that was two meters longer than his boat.The vigor of fish was sostrong that it dragged the boat drifting for two days.During the two days,the old man experienced the difficulties that he had never met with.Finally,he stabbed it and tied the fish on the bow.However,he came across a shark.Then,the old man put up a good fight with a shark.As a result, the fish was eaten by the shark.So,the old man carried a bald fish skeleton and being hurt all over the body to reach home.But in the end, he attained admiration by people.The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most immortal

works.The book may very well become one of the true classics of this generation.Certainly, Ernest Hemingway's short novel is processed exact , well united time and places and it’s style of writing is very deep.In addition, as the most great works, his novel contains not only one meaning.First of all,this is an exciting tragedy adventure story.Because I see a picture how an old man killed the large fish and fought a shark via his wisdom.Furthermore, it’s also a fable that describes a spirit strength------how a person achieved success from a bad envirnoment.Lastly, the story implied a religious metaphor as well.The author added some Christian symbols and figure of speech inconspicuously.So, in my opinion, this novel tells not only a moving plot,but also lays special emphasis on moral meanings that are full of the symbol of badge.The spirit that the old man possessed impressed me deeply.meaning

When Pride Encounters Prejudice, Everything is Different

—the report of Pride and Prejudice

张文莹 Nancy 外汉一班 0091114047

Ⅰ:

Jane Austen(16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817), one of the most famous novelists in Britain, was born in Hampshire.She lived in the villages throughout her life.Although there were 2 suitors, she never married.She finished her first novel when she was only 21 years old.This work’s name was First Impressions(After amending, it had a new name: Pride and Prejudice).Ⅱ:

Pride and Prejudice is a humorous story of love and marriage.Mr.Bennet was an English gentleman living in Hertfordshire with his wife.He had five daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia.Because of the law, after the death of Mr.Bennet, their house would be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met.This family's future happiness and security dependent on the 5 daughters’ marriages.One day, a rich gentleman Mr.Bingley came and rented a large house in this country.His sisters and his best friend Mr.Darcy came together.Love was soon in the air for one of the 5 sisters, while another had a prejudice against Mr.Darcy.Then they experienced many things, but at last, Mr.Bingley married the oldest sister Jane, and Elizabeth overcame the prejudice and married to Mr.Darcy.It’s a happy ending.Ⅲ：

Although Mr.Song said the book report should be objective，but I had to say this book touched my heart deeply.The women written by Jane Austen still live in our world.Some like Charlotte Lucas, they choose a marriage without love just for money and a stable life.Some like Lydia, they are so frivolous and foolish that they flatter themselves that they can do anything well.Some like Mary, they are not good-looking but think themselves are the best ones.They look down every man while they are eager for a man’s love in their hearts.Some like Jane, they are kind and beautiful, but they are also reserved and feminine。They don’t have courage to fight for the love of their own but wait here in vain.And there are also some girls like innocent Ms Darcy or like vainglorious and superficially clever Bingley sisters.Of course, some girls like Elizabeth, they are clever, gentle, open-minded, and they know their own hearts.They never give in even facing a difficult situation.1

They are good ladies who are worth loving and cherishing.Jane Austen’s wisdom always appeals to me, which makes me smile through the whole reading.In fact, the life of Jane Austen was unremarkable，she nearly didn’t leave the villages where she lived.Therefore, in her books, you can’t find any historical plots or any abstruse things making you feel bored.She just wrote some common people about their happiness, little trouble, sorrow and perplexity again and again by her keen observation and her outstanding ability of writing.Although those stories happened in the villages of Britain 200 years ago, they are vivid today.Maybe she was not really a great writer in the world, but she is the cleverest and cutest woman in my heart.However, reality is not the novel.It is always cruel.Jane Austen never married throughout her life, her best friend was her sister.She was such a clever and naughty girl, whose gentleness and beauty were ignored.It’s a pity that there was no one like Mr.Darcy to appreciate and love her.Jane Austen and Eileen Chang were very like.Their works had many things in common.For example, both of their works focused on the life which they were familiar with, and they both had the sharp observation.Although they liked to write some satires, Austen was gentler than Eileen Chang.In Pride and Prejudice, you can find some very interesting dialogues.Such as in the CHAPTER 1, Mrs.Bonnet said: “Mr.Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me.You have no compassion on my poor nerves.” “You mistake me, my dear.I have a high respect for your nerves.They are my old friends.I have heard you mention them with consideration these 20 years at least.” the Mr.Bennet answered with a forced smile.What sarcastic humor it contained!She successfully depicted Mrs.Bennet as a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper by few words.And the two of them left a deep and clear imprison on the readers.Love is the eternal theme of novels.Pride and Prejudice was no exception, but it not only talked about “love”, also mentioned “marriage”.The novels about love or marriage are countless in the world.So standing out among them is not an easy thing.Pride and Prejudice can be one of the masterpieces and be loved by thousands upon thousands people from different countries, which proves that it does have its special glamour.I mainly want to talk about Elizabeth’s 2 rejections.As readers or outsiders，we can easily reject anyone and don’t accept a marriage without love just for respecting our own hearts.But if you think it over and read the book again, you will find it needs great courage to reject a man who can support you a life without worrying about clothes and food.Rejecting her cousin Mr.Collins, an unpleasant person, seemed easy, however, her best friend Charlotte chose to marry him.This contrast shows very clearly that this rejection is difficult for a woman in those days.Maybe you can find some reasons to explain why Elizabeth did that to Mr.Collins, but I’m sure there is no reason to refuse Mr.Darcy’s marriage proposal.He was such a perfect gentleman!Elizabeth couldn’t inherit her father’s fortune, which meant she had to marry a rich man to support her and live a comfortable life.But faced with Mr.Darcy, she said “no” without any hesitation.When Darcy proposed to her by saying his sense of her inferiority-of its being a degradation-of the family obstacles which judgment had always opposed to inclination.Elizabeth said: “It is nature that obligation should be felt, and if I could feel gratitude, I would now thank you.But I cannot —I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly.”

I like this self-respecting girl and look down upon those girls who give in just for fortune, fame, even some petty profits

In fact, I don’t like a happy ending.I think a tragedy is more attractive and can reach the deepest part of my heart while a comedy is read just for relaxation.But I am also moved by this story.Pride gave way to sincerity，prejudice was replaced by love.They lived a happy life together.We can image that they sat on the lakeside bench at twilight and talked about that green years when the pride met the prejudice。
