《天路历程》读后感400字
不知道是否因为是作品为古典文学名著,所以翻译过来后完全没有了“古典”作品应该有的韵味。说实话,语句读起来不是很美。所以仅就内容说一下自己的感想。
这本书一共分为两个部分,第一部以毁灭城出身的基督徒为主角,讲述了他走天路的经历。第二部以基督徒的妻子,女基督徒为主角。
作为一个生活在无神论环境中的人,在我看来,第一部要比第二部好太多太多。在第一部中,每一个城市、每一个人物、甚至他们所说的话都有非常有代表性,它们和故事本身都有较为深刻的寓意。其中最明显的就是浮华市。浮华市有些影射现实世界,里面贩卖的都是物质和罪恶,里面居住的人都是些狂妄又无知的小人。而更为讽刺的是,他们并不觉得自己是不对的,所以有意思的一幕发生了:“盲目”说自己把别人的罪恶看得清清楚楚,“纵欲”说自己再也忍受不了别人了,“无用”说世界上不需要这种人。他们所说的话恰好证明了他们的缺点,正应了那句“卑鄙是卑鄙者的`通行证”,读了让人忍俊不禁又咬牙切齿。只可惜作者没有对所有浮华市的陪审团成员们用这种妙到好处的语言描写,甚至有几人的言行是和自己的名字相符的。
同时,作者并没有否定“出淤泥而不染”这一现象,一些不好的城市偶尔也会出现几个盼望神的人。例如忠信、盼望。但在第一部,这样的人物少之又少。
可能是因为第一部太出色了。所以作者在讲述第二部的故事时只好另辟蹊径。这一次,故事里涌现出了许多出身于不好城市的天路客。第一部时,主角一路上基本孤身一人,有人相伴的时候不多。而到了第二部,女基督徒从出发时就有伙伴,越到后来越多,甚至有一个名叫“大无畏”的勇士保护她们。因此,她们在天路上遇到的试探和危险少了,而大无畏倒是增加了不少显示英勇的桥段。与第一部相比,第二部的故事情节丰富了,但寓意性却大大降低。我还是更喜欢第一部。
另外,书中大片大片的神学讨论感觉很枯燥——即使对我这个有神论的人而言。另外,我在把书读完之后,整理了书中所出现的所有地名、人物和一些有代表性的话语和场景,本以为轻轻松松,结果没想到居然有将近四千字。
天路历程英语读后感
The pilgrim"s progress can be said to be a very famous and very influential book in the Christian literature and a lot of people have read it. Actually when I first read the pilgrim"s progress I am not interested in it,even feel boring, and the result is I want to give up halfway. Why,because I don"t have experience of the Christian in this book. He encountered many difficulties, but I have not experienced, so I am not interested in it when I readied it.
As time goes by I read it more and more, and I began to feel deeply the process of Christian struggling against difficulties. Then I find all sorts of experience of protagonist Christian is the mirror of most of ordinary people.
The difficulties he met,also is that we met. His failure was also that we had been through. And each time he regained faith, which also brought us a great joy and hope, because we also are the people who have pursuit and ideal.
From the knowledge level to see,The pilgrim"s progress is the most vitality predictions. This work is to write a virtual world, but it is the reality of the world in essence. This can make us more aware of the complexity behind the real world.
This work mainly displayed that human losing himself needed redemption, and only can be saved through confessing their iniquity and believing God. All kinds of people Christian meet on the road are the people banyan met in any market, or any other streets in that era of Britain. This is the reason that novel have b vitality.
Reading this book, what make me feel touched and shock is that Christian faithfully began his difficult lonely journey for the beliefs in his heart. All the way he went through despair mire, humiliation valley, the valley of the shadow of death, vanity fair, doubt fort, and all the way he defended entanglement of atheist, ignorance, Mr. Smart, Mr. Apple, Mr. Love money and so on,and finally came to the kingdom of heaven to pay a formal visit god.
Did you ever have the experience like Christian being overcome by difficulties?
Did you ever same to feel very sad, and even discouraged?
Let Christian’ s words remind us once again:
My enemies!
Do not rejoice over me,when I fall, I will rise up, I sit in darkness, and Jehovah will be a light unto me.
Although we are not Christian, we can get a lot of valuable spiritual wealth from the Christian. In order to the paradise of the heart, he insisted on their beliefs, had indomitable sprint,did not be afraid of all kinds of difficulties and hardships, and ultimately achieved himself ideal. In the process toward the pilgrim, the Christian experienced all kinds of hardships and temptation, but the power of the divine in his heart drove him constantly.
This is the power of faith. At each stage of the novel Christian has experienced many tests, frustrated. At the same time, he also got edification, friendship, understanding and joy. This is life"s most precious wealth. only unswerving firmly believe that their beliefs, oneself will have the possibility of success. Give up is not successful. In the fiction, soft wanted to follow the Christian went to the kingdom of heaven, but while he encountered difficulty he hesitated and turned back. stubborn is so sure for everything,and he adhered others to accept his point of view, even he think himself he did not need the help of others, also did not need any guidance. Succinct forthright language of Christian shows that he was a man of determination and perseverance.
only such as Christian, it will be possible to achieve their ideal. But, no one else will meet with difficulties. For example, in the valley of the shadow of death the heart of Christian appeared straggliest and hesitation. Christian had not set out on a journey yet and he was laughed at the family and the neighbor"s taunt.He met despair mire when he left not a long time. This kind of trouble continued until he reached the kingdom of heaven.
The way of going the kingdom of ideal heaven is not only bright and sunny, but also has the dark clouds. I think we can get some enlightenment from the book to solve problems we are facing today. Christian started the journey to the kingdom of heaven. We saw him on the way to heaven, and in every step he was faced with choice weather continue or not. It also makes us associate that we are always faced with the same choice like Christian in our current life journey.
The description is enough to tell everyone: faith is not a simple matter. Faith is not diversion,Even more is not a easy way of recreation In our time. everyone ,who has the ideal and faith,is the need to pay the price. A belief is not allowed to be satisfied with a smattering of knowledge. Beliefs demand people must devote your whole heart to the life of the whole to embrace that beautiful flame.
