本书是狄更斯最受推崇的一部短篇小说。故事并没有落于俗套地为我们描写炉边夜话和风雪之夜,而是突出了当时的社会问题。主人公是一位商人,一生只知攒钱,毫无人性。但在圣诞夜受到教益,改变了自己的人生。
《圣诞颂歌》于1843年问世,也是狄更斯最受推崇的一部短篇小说。故事并没有落于俗套地为我们描写炉边夜话和风雪之夜,而是突出了当时的社会问题。主人公斯克鲁济是一位商人,他成天与钱柜、账本和发票打交道,一生只知道攒钱,毫无人性。他克扣员工的工资,拒绝外甥的问候和祝福,不施舍分文给穷人。然而,平安夜出现的三个精灵带领他回到了过去、现在和未来的一些生活情境,并让斯克鲁济从自制的陷阱和枷锁中解脱出来,领悟到圣诞节的意义和生活的意义。他在圣诞颂歌奏响时开始了自己新的人生。 《教堂钟声》于1844年问世。小说的主人公是一位名叫托比的脚夫。此人因为肉体和精神上的摧残而认同了富人对他们“天生就是坏人”的看法。铜钟精灵让他在新年钟声敲响之前做了一场噩梦。他终于认清了富人的伪善和自己应处的立场。作者抨击了压迫者,鼓舞了被压迫的民众。当教堂钟声敲响的那一刻,他终于摈弃了谎言而投奔了真理。
2. 根据下列要点写一篇关于《圣诞颂歌》100词左右的英语书评
Major themes
The story deals extensively with two of Dickens' recurrent themes, social injustice and poverty, the relationship between the two, and their causes and effects. It was written to be abrupt and forceful with its message, with a working title of "The Sledgehammer." The first edition of A Christmas Carol was illustrated by John Leech, a politically radical artist who in the cartoon "Substance and Shadow" printed earlier in 1843 had explicitly criticised artists who failed to address social issues. Dickens wrote in the wake of British government changes to the welfare system known as the Poor Laws, changes which required among other things, welfare applicants to "work" on treadmills, as Scrooge points out. Dickens asks, in effect, for people to recognise the plight of those whom the Instrial Revolution has displaced and driven into poverty, and the obligation of society to provide for them humanely. Failure to do so, the writer implies through the personification of Ignorance and Want as ghastly children, will result in an unnamed "Doom" for those who, like Scrooge, believe their wealth and status qualifies them to sit in judgement on the poor rather than to assist them.
Scrooge “embodies all the selfishness and indifference of the prosperous classes who parrot phrases about the ‘surplus population’ and think their social responsibilities fully discharged when they have paid their taxes.”
3. 《圣诞颂歌》读后感怎么写
在写《圣诞颂歌》的读后感时可讲述说书中主要想表达的内容,结尾的时候加入自己一点感想即可。
范文:
今天读了《圣诞颂歌》这本书。
书中讲述了史克鲁齐是一个心地冷酷、性情刻薄的守财奴,在圣诞前夕,他拒绝施善,讨厌快乐的庆祝。
于是,他已故的合伙人马利的灵魂来看望他,警告他将象自己一样在死后饱受折磨,摆脱这一命运的一线希望在于三个幽灵对他的访问。
果然,昔日圣诞精灵、今日圣诞精灵、来日圣诞精灵分别带着史克鲁齐见证了他昔日的堕落,他的雇员和外甥今日的快乐以及他来日遭人唾弃的孤独的死亡。史克鲁齐从中获得了感召,终于醒悟,并最终成为一个充满爱心,乐善好施的人。
读完这篇文章,我明白了做人要充满爱心,乐善好施,不能心地冷酷,性情刻薄。当这个世界充满爱,世界就会更美好。
[你想要什么样的人生?---电影《圣诞颂歌》观后感]你想要什么样的人生?---电影《圣诞颂歌》观后感作者:武志红活着的时候,我的注意力从未走出我们的账房,从未走出这个小范围,现在面临的是无止境的旅程,你想要什么样的人生?---电影《圣诞颂歌》观后感。一直都在走在找,没有休息,没有安宁。我糊涂啊!我糊涂啊!我看不透自己的人生!虚度一生,我好苦啊!--摘自迪斯尼动画片《圣诞颂歌》电影《圣诞颂歌》海报。假如,你突然能拥有了一个机会,可以清晰地看到你的过去、现在和你的未来,你还会像现在这样生活吗?迪斯尼最新推出的动画片《圣诞颂歌》就描绘了这样一个故事。故事中的男主人公埃比尼泽斯克里奇是一个超级守财奴,"令人讨厌,吝啬、冷酷、没有人性"。但在1983年的平安夜,他先后遇到了四个异灵--他已逝的合伙人雅各布马里的鬼魂、圣诞过去之灵、圣诞现在之灵和圣诞未来之灵,从而看到自己的过去、现在和未来比雅各布马里还要恐怖的命运。这奇异的经历令斯克里奇一夜剧变,从吝啬鬼变成了一个仁厚、宽容、宽容而热情的慈善家。这部影片改编自英国小说家查尔斯狄更斯的同名作品,正是因为狄更斯的这部杰作,才有了"Merry Christmas"这句流行语,并且圣诞节中的许多祝贺节日的仪式也是因为他这部小说才开始广为流传。超一流的小说家都有一种能力,他们所编织的故事,假如从心理学理论推论的话,你会发现完全站得住脚。写过《双城记》、《雾都孤儿》和《大卫科波菲尔》等名著的狄更斯毫无疑问是超一流的小说家,而他在《圣诞颂歌》中所勾勒的故事,并不仅仅是一个虚幻的神鬼故事。譬如,可以说,如果有非常优秀的心理治疗师,能够帮助斯克里奇这样的人清晰地看到他的过去、现在和未来,那么,他势必会从一个守财奴变成一个乐善好施的人。一切都是鬼话,只有钱可靠影片一开始就刻画了斯克里奇的超级守财奴形象。他的合伙人马里去世了,而斯克里奇作为"唯一的遗嘱执行人、唯一的财产管理人、唯一的财产受让人、唯一的剩余财产受赠人、唯一的朋友和唯一的送葬人",为马里操办了葬礼。马里和斯克里奇都是"好生意人",懂得节省每一枚硬币。但是,操办葬礼的牧师像斯克里奇伸出手索要相关费用时,脸上鬼魅的笑容令斯克里奇心惊,那只手则像魔鬼的手,要扼在他的脖子上。他不甘心地给了一枚硬币,那只手仍没有落下来,他只好又给了一枚硬币。牧师的手总算落了下来,但斯克里奇心理失衡了,他突然间将手伸向马里的尸体,干脆利落地将覆盖在马里眼睛上的两枚硬币取了回来,并狠狠地从嗓子里逼出几个字来:"两便士,两便士也是钱!"在死者的两只眼睛上各放一枚硬币,这个传统源自古希腊。古希腊的钱币上有众神的雕像,将这样的钱币覆盖在死者眼睛上,是让众神通过死者的眼睛看到死者清澈的一生,从而帮死者更好地安息。也有一个比较俗的说法称,死者的灵魂在渡过冥河时,要将两枚硬币交给船夫做船资,否则就会成为无所归依的孤魂野鬼。不管什么传说,斯克里奇都不吃那一套,他宁愿拿回那两枚硬币,好让内心找到平衡。再说,有什么比钱更可靠吗?不仅如此,斯克里奇还认为,关于圣诞节的种种说法也是鬼话。圣诞节?圣诞节是什么玩意?每个人都可以在圣诞节得到上帝的保佑,每个人在这一天都应该相互关爱?凭什么?!这是骗人的把戏。斯克里奇只信金钱,金钱是唯一能给他带来快乐、满足和安全感的东西。除此以外一切都见鬼去吧。也许是这种信仰让他身上透着一种杀气,他走在路上时,乞丐都不敢找他乞讨,唱颂歌的人都会被冻得停下来,小孩子见了他也不再调皮而只想逃走,甚至连狗遇见他都要落荒而逃。马里去世的时候如此,7年后的圣诞节仍然如此。也不是谁都不敢接近斯克里奇。他的事务所有一个叫鲍勃克莱奇特的小职员,每周拿15先令。克莱奇特谨小慎微,担心失去这份勉强可以养活一家人的工作,所以一直没有离开斯克里奇。斯克里奇的侄子弗雷德也是例外。不管斯克里奇多么冷漠,弗雷德都想去祝福和拥抱舅舅,想让他火一般的热情融化舅舅身上散发着的冰冷。他闯进舅舅的事务所,快乐地喊道:"舅舅!上帝保佑你!""鬼话!"斯克里奇不耐烦地反驳。"圣诞快乐!"弗雷德继续欢快地祝福舅舅。"你有什么快乐的?你这么穷。"斯克里奇嘲讽说。"你怎么这么闷闷不乐?你这么富有。"弗雷德反问,但神情已黯淡下来。没什么好快乐的,斯克里奇继续说,他讨厌圣诞节,"圣诞节意味着没有钱也可以买东西,意味着又老了一岁,钱却没有多一分。""圣诞节一起吃饭吧,舅舅。"弗雷德执着地邀请。"除非我死了。""但为什么?你为什么这么冷酷?舅舅。""你为什么结婚?""因为我爱她。""因为,你,爱,她?"斯克里奇眼神变得更犀利起来,弗雷德终于受不了想逃了,但在逃之前,他还是拥抱了舅舅并再次大喊"Merry Christmas!"热情似火的弗雷德似乎没有融化舅舅哪怕一丁点的冰冷。接下来,当有人来事务所中为穷人募捐时,斯克里奇无比冷血地说:"没有监狱吗…劳动救济所还开门吗…我想你知道该怎么安排他们了…(穷人如果活不下去)那就去死好了,正好可以减少多余的人口。"和弗雷德一样,募捐人也落荒而逃。不过,斯克里奇的心也并不是全然冰冻着的,他还有一个小缝隙能透露出一点人味。尽管极其不甘心,但他还是忍受着"不公平"感的折磨,给克莱奇特放了一天的"带薪假"。斯克里奇的心是如何一点点冻结的一个传说称,上帝一次动了恻隐之心,想从地狱中救一个恶鬼出去,但却在他心中发现不了一毫善念,只好作罢。也许正是因为斯克里奇对克莱奇特还有那么一丁点的恻隐之心,所以上帝决定派四个异灵到斯克里奇的家里来点化他。第一个到来的是马里的鬼魂。他拖着几道长长的铁索,铁索的尽头是没有用的钱箱,对着被吓得半死的斯克里奇喊道:"苦啊!我好苦啊!"为什么这么痛苦?"马里"无限懊悔地说:"活着的时候,我的注意力从未走出我们的账房,从未走出这个小范围,现在面临的是无止境的旅程。""一直都在走在找,没有休息,没有安宁。我糊涂啊!我糊涂啊!我看不透自己的人生!虚度一生,我好苦啊!"斯克里奇安慰说,你的人生也有亮点,"你一直是一个好生意人。"孰料这正是"马里"痛心之处,他的下颌都在悲叹中掉了下来,"生意?我的生意本应该是为人类做贡献,本应该是慈善、宽容和仁慈。"最后,"马里"对老朋友说"你还有一个机会,一线希望摆脱我的命运",将有三个灵魂过来找他。"马里"临走时还将斯克里奇拖到了窗户前,斯克里奇看到,窗外有无数鬼魂在懊悔地大喊大叫,其中许多鬼魂在拿钱箱砸自己的头颅,还有一个鬼魂在对着街边一个无家可归的乞丐喊:"抱歉,我帮不了你啊--"斯克里奇被吓得躲在床上。但当圣诞日来临的钟声敲响时,第一个异灵--圣诞过去之灵如期而至,他带着斯克里奇回到过去。与过去取得链接,在心理治疗中是一个很重要的工作。因为,我们总是因为过去太痛苦才将心关闭,本来我们想关闭的只是和某几件痛苦往事的链接,但最终我们关闭的,却是心的整个通道,从而失去了与其他人乃至万物的链接。例如,斯克里奇的事务所和家都有几把锁,而他锁上门后总是不放心,还要进行检查。但是,他真正要锁住的是什么呢?小偷,还是内心的恐惧、无助和受伤感?在治疗中打开这些锁相当不易,通常要等心理医生与来访者建立起深度信任的关系,这时来访者的心锁才会脱落,内心隐藏着的一些回忆才会涌现。异灵是不需要这样做的,他直接将斯克里奇带回到童年即可。但当站在家乡时,斯克里奇落泪了。圣诞过去之灵问他:"你的脸上是什么?眼泪吗?""不是!"斯克里奇回答说,"是眼里进沙子了。"这时斯克里奇还在坚持一份虚假的坚强,这份坚强曾帮助他防御过去的痛苦所带来的无望,观后感《你想要什么样的人生?---电影《圣诞颂歌》观后感》。的确,他的童年是非常不幸的。一个圣诞节,偌大的学校,孩子们都回家团聚去了,只有"一个孤独的孩子,正静静地留在这里"。老斯克里奇感慨说"我那时的圣诞节不快乐",但是,小斯克里奇的心并没有完全冻结,他一个人坐在空荡荡的教室中时,嘴里还在哼唱着圣诞颂歌。又一个圣诞节时也是如此,已是少年的斯克里奇还是独自一人坐在空荡荡的教室中,但情形已有改观,妹妹范尼跑过来找他,兴奋地喊着:"埃比尼泽,埃比尼泽,我来带你回家。"原来,斯克里奇之所以不能回家,是酒鬼爸爸不喜欢他,但这个圣诞节前爸爸变得和蔼了,范尼求爸爸让哥哥回家,他答应了。这时,妹妹还可以敲开少年斯克里奇尚未彻底冰冻的心,但她的儿子弗雷德却无法敲开老斯克里奇的心。这并不是因为痛苦在日益累积,而是因为他想逃避这些痛苦而逐渐将心关闭,而钱是帮助我们将心关闭的最佳工具之一。又一个圣诞节时,斯克里奇已是青年,他在一个事务所做学徒,师傅是一个快乐的人。在平安夜,他们把事务所腾空,举办盛大的舞会,而斯克里奇的爱情正是在这个圣诞节中降临了。那一刻,他的生命似乎被爱情的光芒照亮了。但爱情也恰恰是令斯特里奇的心彻底关闭的一个关键。多年后的又一个圣诞节,斯特里奇已是精干的成年人,但妻子对他说"我要解除婚约",因为"别的东西取代了我在你心目中的位置。""什么东西?"斯克里奇问。"金钱。"妻子回答说。斯克里奇不想离婚,但他不肯直接表达这个意思,而是反问:"我发出要解除婚约的信号了吗?""语言上没有。"妻子回答说。"那哪里有?""你变了的灵魂,还有生活方式,而且我对你的爱已经不重要了。"妻子逼问他,如果你像现在这样富有,而我还是一个贫穷的女子,你会爱我吗?斯克里奇继续反问:"你以为我不会吗?"妻子则继续说:"你一切都以金钱来衡量,我给你自由,希望你在你选择的生活方式中找到幸福。"她转身而去。心化开了,就可以看到别人的痛苦了这一段对话中,他们都是脆弱的。斯克里奇一定不是相信金钱比她重要,但他却没有底气坦承。看着呈现在自己眼前的这一个圣诞节的画面,斯克里奇痛苦起来。处于这个令他无比懊悔的节点时,他的心不敢打开,他咆哮着,让过去之灵带他走,最后他用帽子将过去之灵的光芒罩住,用尽了全身的力气。他也是这样对待他过去的痛苦的。他胜利了,过去之灵的光芒完全不见了,那些痛苦也看不到了。这时,他的脸上露出了一丝特别的微笑,带着苦楚。但突然间,过去之灵的帽子像火箭一样将斯克里奇击入虚空,最后又彻底消失,斯克里奇开始坠落,没有任何凭借。这一幕也有很强的象征意义。内心藏着太多痛苦的人,非常害怕失控,而从空中向下自由坠落,是他们最恐惧的事情之一,不知有多少人对我说过这样一句话:"失控,等于死亡。"彻底的失控并不会带来死亡,反而常常带来自由。当斯克里奇与自己的过去取得链接后,他就可以睁开眼睛,全然地看到自己现在的生命状态了,也包括可以看到其他重要人物的存在了。在心理治疗中,我屡屡发现,一旦与过去的痛苦取得了链接,一个人就可以更好地感受别人的感受了。斯克里奇也是如此。他从虚空中坠落,结果不是死亡,而是来到了圣诞现在之灵的空间中。圣诞现在之灵带着他,"从天堂的角度"去审视自己所在的世界中的一切,而他开始看到穷人的苦。他质问现在之灵,"你为什么要关闭穷人一周只能吃一顿像样的饭的地方?"最触动斯克里奇的,是他的小职员克莱奇特一家。他们非常贫穷,但家里充满了温情,他们过圣诞节时有一只烤鸭就满足了。并且,在进餐前,克莱奇特竟倡议为斯克里奇祝酒,尽管太太很不情愿,但他们还是一起祝福了他。斯克里奇心中的坚冰彻底融化了,他注意到克莱奇特的儿子小蒂米好像生了重病,于是忧心忡忡地问现在之灵,小蒂米是不是会死掉,你能为帮他吗?现在之灵回答说,小蒂米的确大事不妙,但为什么要帮助他呢,"如果要死那就死好了,可以减少多余人口。"这正是斯克里奇以前的言语,现在再听到如此冰冷的话,斯克里奇痛苦起来。现在之灵又带他来到弗雷德家里。一样的,尽管弗雷德用字谜游戏开舅舅的玩笑,但当他倡议为舅舅祝酒时,所有人都举杯祝福斯克里奇。圣诞节就要过去了,现在之灵的寿命即将结束。他给斯克里奇看了人类的两个孩子,男孩叫无知,女孩叫贪婪,他们两个一遍又一遍在斯克里奇耳边重复他过去的话"没有监狱吗?没有劳教所吗?"现在之灵在大笑中而来,也在大笑中死去。接下来,斯克里奇最恐惧的圣诞未来之灵出场了。斯克里奇对未来之灵说,他很恐惧,但他还是做好了准备,准备在未来之灵的陪伴下去看看自己的未来。你愿意有什么样的墓志铭未来,是斯克里奇死去了。据佛教的说法,对于缺乏觉知力的灵魂,在生与死之间的空间中,命运之风就像暴烈的鞭子一样,令这些灵魂无比恐惧,于是不断地狂奔,而无形中就投胎了。狄更斯应该是基督徒,但电影中却着力刻画了这一幕。斯克里奇的灵魂被一辆来自地狱的拘魂马车追逐。他逃命,中间两次无意中投胎。一次躲过拘魂马车后又逃了出来,但第二次他完成了投胎的过程,成了一个贫穷而可怕的家庭的婴儿。那个家庭的男主人是一个可怕的、没有一点情绪控制能力的暴徒,而女主人竟然是斯克里奇的佣人迪尔博太太。投胎到这样的家庭已经够可怕了,更可怕的是,似乎没有人为斯克里奇之死有一点哀伤。迪尔博太太没有,欠斯克里奇债务的一对夫妻没有,相反他们都很开心。克莱奇特一家很哀伤,但他们是为小蒂米的离去而哀伤。"人之将死,其言也善",因为,人在临死的一刻,会突然间拥有一种能力看到自己的一生,那时无数人会无比懊悔,但悔之已晚。斯克里奇则不仅看到了自己过去的一生,还看到了可怕而荒芜的未来。他未来的父亲,要比他的酒鬼父亲更要可怕。所以,当未来之灵将他带到墓地上,让他看到那块铭记着"埃比尼泽斯克里奇"的墓碑时,斯克里奇恐惧到了极点,他拼命地问:"什么样的人就有什么样的结局,如果人改变了,结局也会改变…告诉我还有改变的可能,改变做人就可以…我不会忘记从过去、现在和未来得到的教训。"未来之灵没做任何回答,他将斯克里奇推向地狱,斯克里奇不断地向地狱坠落…但还好,这一切都像是一个梦,斯克里奇醒来后发现,他的确是坠落,不过是从床上坠落到地上。这时,恰恰是圣诞节的清晨。这一刻,他无比喜悦,他身轻如燕,他欢欣跳跃,虽然四个异灵都没教导他该怎么做,但他完全明白。他先给克莱奇特一家送去了一份礼物--有两个小蒂米大的火鸡。心打开后,他像"不良少年"那样玩耍,他的气场也打开了,他能注意到所有人的存在,带着欢乐和他们打招呼。遇见募捐者时,他向他承诺捐很多钱,并由衷地谢谢他,因为他知道,看起来他是在帮助别人,实际上是在帮助自己,他为能有这样的机会有充满感激。他和路人一起唱圣诞颂歌,他还参加了弗雷德的晚宴。他倒没有食言,他的确是在自己死过后才做到了这一点。第二天,他给迟到的克莱奇特加薪,还改变了工作方式,要和克莱奇特一边喝酒一边守着暖炉工作。他身上的杀气消散了,他的心从如铁坚冰变成了热情的火焰,最终这团火温暖了整个城市,他成为这个城市最会过圣诞节的人。司汤达的墓碑。最会过圣诞节的人正是狄更斯本人,他的这部作品教会了英国人乃至全世界怎么过圣诞节,以至于他被称为"发明圣诞节的人",当他去世时,还多孩子问自己的父母,圣诞老人怎么会死呢?有趣的是,这部电影在迅雷和豆瓣两个网站上得到的评价截然不同。在迅雷上,它得到了9.7分的高分,而在豆瓣上,它只得到了6.8的分数。迅雷上,很多网友说被打动,而豆瓣上,很多网友说觉得电影像恐怖片,并且尤其不喜欢电影的说教意味。然而,作为一个心理治疗师,我非常喜欢这部影片,一点都不觉得它是在说教。因为,假如这一切可以是事实怎么办?至少,在治疗中我发现,当一个人能够逐渐与过去链接时,他的心就会发生巨变,当一个人能够学会站在别人的角度看现在的自己时,他的心也会发生相当的改变。至于看到未来,美国心理学家欧文亚隆在治疗中常用一个技巧--设想一下你的墓志铭,如果你现在死掉了,你的墓碑上会有什么样的墓志铭,这个墓志铭是你想要的吗?许多哲学家也说,死亡是最严肃的哲学问题。这也是同一个意思,你死去的时候你的心会突然拥有一种能力,可以清晰地看到自己的一生。但那时,你已经没有了改变的可能,如果是严重的懊悔,那该是什么样的折磨?我很喜欢《红与黑》的作者司汤达的墓志铭"活过、爱过、写过",更喜欢另一位忘记了名字的名人的墓志铭:如果这就是生命,那好,请再来一次。你呢?你想要什么样的人生?--电影《圣诞颂歌》的链接:()〔你想要什么样的人生?---电影《圣诞颂歌》观后感〕随文赠言:【人生舞台的大幕随时都可能拉开,关键是你愿意表演,还是选择躲避。】

To Regain the Nature of Goodness
-- Review of ‘Oliver Twist’
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

9. 《圣诞欢歌》英文读后感
这些都是你找不到的:
1
Do I need to give an introctory synopsis to this story? A Christmas Carol has been done over and over and over and... Whether it has been done as a movie, a stage play, or in a TV show (for example, I saw both "Quantum Leap" and "Highway to Heaven" do episodes based on it). The book has been read in many an English speaking school classroom. There is a reason for this. It's an excellent story that can be retold and reread constantly.
If you never had the chance to read the novel, do so at least once in your lifetime. Do not rely on all the adaptations available. There is still magic in Dickens' words. I had not remembered that Ebenezer started learning his lesson after the first ghost. Usually in adaptations it takes through the third ghost for him to realize the error of his ways.
As well as A Christmas Carol, which is a short novel, this edition also includes some of Dickens' short stories. Ghosts or supernatural occurrences are in most of them. This includes another one of Dickens' Christmas stories, The Haunted Man.
Now for the confession. I have not wanted to read Dickens since 7th grade when I read The Curiousity Shop for a book report. I wasn't sure I would care for the stories included with A Christmas Carol (which I have always liked) because of my distaste for Little Nell's story. The first of the other stories I read only reinforced my long held opinion. Finally, though, the man's storytelling brilliance showed through. I found most of the short stories and stage readings well done and leaving me wanting more. I guess I'll have to pick up one of his "masterpiece" novels next year. I may be glad I did.

This is one of Charles Dicken's most enring stories. The tale of Scrooge is so famous that the word has entered the vernacular as any miserly person who does not enter into the spirit of the season.
The tale of Ebenezer Scrooge is a fascinating look at the human psyche of a certain type of indivial, who is mean and lonely and ultimately not happy.
The ghosts of the past, present and future visit Scrooge and help him see how his behaviour has impacted on his life, and the way that he is treated by other people as a consequence.
An interesting story, and an enring classic that everyone should read!

This past December, I read Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for the first time. Of course, I have seen the story done on stage a number of times (mostly as a child), and the various movies are a yearly Christmas tradition. (My favorite is Albert Finney's portrayal in the early 1970's British musical version "Scrooge.") But despite being very familiar with the story itself through stage and film, and despite having bought a of the book some years back, I had never taken the time to sit down and read the story.
So, having bought a new edition of the book after Christmas last year, I finally sat down in December and began the original story.
It was absolutely sublime!
As much as I love the film and stage adaptations of the story, the book was just wonderful. So full of color and imagination and description - you could fairly feel the 19th century London cold, the piles of apples and oranges on the street carts, the hawkers calling out to passers-by bundled head-to-toe in woolen coats and boots.
This really is the quintessential Victorian Christmas story. I suppose I'm only about 170 years late in determining that, but now that I have read the story, I can see why it was such an instantaneous hit with readers. It was so successful ring his lifetime, in fact, that Dickens began a tradition of writing Christmas stories every year. The edition of A Christmas Carol that I purchased last year has two other Dickens Christmas stories in it as well, although I have not yet dived into those two.
So I highly recommend this book. If you have seen any or most of the various Scrooge movies that have been made over the years, much of the book will be familiar, but there are a few scenes here and there that I have never seen re-enacted in a play or a movie, including a trip out to a mining colony on the coast of England, and a hovering ride over the English Channel to view Christmas on a Navy ship.
Even after all these years of watching movies and plays based upon this story, I was still moved, emotionally, while reading this book, particularly ring the scenes with the Cratchit family. And at the end, I almost felt a tear well up when Scrooge showed up on his nephew's doorstep for Christmas Lunch.
To end, let me quote one of the more poignant passages from the book. The Ghost of Christmas Present has just reminded Scrooge of his harsh words about how if the poor are going to die "then they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." The Ghost quoted the same phrase after Scrooge expressed concern about whether or not Tiny Tim would die. The Ghost goes on to say the following:
"Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! To hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the st."
That last line, in particular, strikes a powerful chord. How relevent, 170 years downstream, and in another country, for the self-righteous protestations of the wealthy American!

A Christmas Carol' was a 19th century novel written by Charles Dickens. Dickens concerns were poor children and how they were treated, he was mainly made aware of their terrible plight when he visited the Field Lane Ragged School' and was appalled at what he saw. Dickens had queries on how to release his concerns about the fate of the poor, considering procing them in the form of a pamphlet, but as he was the most popular novelist of the day he realised that more people would take notice of the poor if he wrote about them in a story. Dickens aimed his story at the wealthy, as they were the ones who could make a significant difference. Dickens wanted to make the wealthy realise what was happening and how bad it was.
The style Dickens wrote in was typical of the period because, around the 19th century most knowledge was accessed by writing, so Dickens incredible use of imagery was very effective in conveying his message and making A Christmas Carol' the popular novel it is. For example on the first page of the first stave Dickens uses a lot of complex sentences. "And even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event, but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral, and solemnised it with an undoubted bargain." This use of complex sentences is very good because complex sentences are very detailed and give a lot of information to the reader, and because readers take in the information, Charles Dickens gets his message across and this is through Dickens use of complex sentences and use of imagery.
The main character in A Christmas Carol' is called Scrooge. Scrooge is a stereotype of those who had power over those who didn't. Throughout the opening stave the character of Scrooge is established and it is quite clear what he is like. For example Dickens describes the character of Scrooge: "No wind that blew was bitterer than he". This (beautiful) use of metaphorical tells the reader a lot about the character Scrooge, and that he does not have a very good attitude or personality. This is shown especially because in the winter streets of London it is very cold and for Scrooge to be more bitter than the cold air just says that he is a mean and horrible person.
So the text show what the character Scrooge is like. Dickens uses Scrooge to show one of the messages of the story. With great power comes great responsibility', and in A Christmas Carol' Scrooge is the character with the great power, and throughout the story it show the character Scrooge transform to take on his responsibility. Also in the text, Scrooge is described as "Hard and as sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire;" What this tells us about Scrooge is that he is not only solid but he does not give anything away and he is self contained. To be reassured the character Scrooge is self contained the text also says: "Secret, self contained and as solitary as an oyster." Although this comments again on Scrooges characteristics and we are shown a ll, mean, horrible character there is a glimmer of hope because like an oyster Scrooge is very hard to open up, but maybe, just maybe there is a pearl that lies within Scrooges heart that is kind, caring and loving.
One of the things that make A Christmas Carol' what it is, are the spirits: the ghost of Christmas past, present and yet to come. The great thing about this use of character is that nobody can say what they have to look like, and also a sense of mystery is added to the story because they are ghosts and do not have a fixed appearance. Another clever thing Dickens does when writing A Christmas Carol' was setting the story around Christmas time. One of the reasons I believe he did this was to create a contrast between Christmas; a time of love and family and Scrooge; unloving and self contained.
The first Spirit; The ghost of Christmas past', in my opinion, is the most important out of the three spirits as it personifies memory. For example "It was a strange figure like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man." So the spirits description suggests to us that the character Scrooges childhood experiences can come back to him if he allows them to. Also the spirit is described here as: "from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light". Remembering that the ghost of Christmas past is the personification of memory this light symbolises the illumination that comes from ones past and the cap the spirit wears symbolises the ability everyone has to extinguish the light of memory, if he or she choose to do so, however at the end of stave two Scrooge tried to remove memories from the past but was unsuccessful: "though Scrooge pressed it down with all his might, he could not hide the light: which screamed form under it". That quote also shows Dickens intelligent use of words because if you Screamed' you are trying to escape. Other phrase Dickens used to describe the ghost of Christmas past are: "Its hair which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age;"and "The arms were very long and muscular; the hands the same". Both of these quotes compliment Dickens use of imagery as they give you a clear picture in your mind of what the spirits properties are. One other phrase in the story Dickens wrote was: "It wore a tunic of the purest white; and round it waist was bound a lustrous belt, the sheen of which was beautiful." This says one thing, and that is that memory is pure, it can't be modified and it's free from any influence to change.
When the character, Scrooge meets the first spirit, the spirit starts to show Scrooge his past. Scrooge is taken to a country field and Scrooge himself recognises the place as it was where he spent his childhood. "'Good heaven' said Scrooge, clasping his hands together, as he looked about him. I was bred in this place. I was a boy here!'" There is an overwhelming flood of sensory connection with the place; this even brings a tremble to Scrooges lip and a tear to his cheek. This is evidence that in a moment, the past has become more alive to Scrooge than ever before. This shows already a big change in the character Scrooge has happened because this same character who could spare no time over his deceased business partner now tremble at the confronting memories of his youth. This evidence tell the reader that in a short time Scrooge has learnt lessons and that potentially as the story goes on Scrooge will learn more vital lessons
So next Scrooge was ready to encounter the second of the three spirits The Ghost of Christmas Present', and given Scrooges experiences with the last spirit he was prepared for anything. I believe the Ghost of Christmas Present personifies generosity and this is reflected in the spirits physical description. Its dark brown curls were long and free", "it's open hand" and "sparkling eye". These quotes give a good image of what the spirit could look like. Also the line: "Capacious beast" suggests the ghost is quite large, but as the story make the readers realise; the ghost not only is large in size but it has a large heart.
After analysing the spirits in A Christmas Carol' I have seen how Dickens message has been conveyed. Dickens has successfully used the character Scrooge and shown his transformation. By using the spirits to personify various aspects, Dickens has effectively shown the reader what they can be like. This is why the book is so popular now, because the message still applies today. Because in the current world there are those with much and those with nothing, it is the responsibility of those with much to help those with nothing. And to conclude this essay I would like to say that the story of A Christmas Carol' would not be held together without Dickens use of metaphors and imagery.

Well, I love it, simple as that. Despite the cold and callous ways of Ebenezer Scrooge there is warmth that springs fourth from the book. The writing is powerfully descriptive and gives the reader a real feel for London in that era complete with gas lamps, biting cold and the rich / poor divide. During the visitations of Marley's ghost and the three other spirits the fear that Scrooge feels practically leaps from the page. The language used is also laden with oldie worldly sayings and words which add to the sumptuousness of the tale, and the narrative is well paced so that the story moves apace. Each and every character is described to perfection be it the rotund and jolly Mr Fezzwig or the frail and crippled tiny Tim. I was amazed that my of the book was just ninety-two pages long and yet so much happens in the story no doubt thanks to the skills of Dickens making every word count. Above all else though A Christmas Carol is an enring story of hope over circumstance, of the ultimate good that lays in every man, woman and child, and of the joy that a little kindness can deliver.
