《小王子》读后感(英文版).doc

精品 Little Prince This is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. Its been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. Its this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy of our attention, despite the fact that many readers claimed this book to be designed for adults. Anyway, as a well-acknowledged book, it must possess unique feature to maintain its position. And its reputation and popularity will by no means be destroyed by what an unknown man says. I will talk about the main contents of the book, and the inspiration it renders as usual. This book mainly tells us the experience of a prince from a tiny planet, who traveled to many other planets and finally came to the earth and met the pilot in a desert. The prince and the pilot became good friends, and the pilot gradually got to know the feeling and experience of his friend. Before he came to the earth, little prince had been to other 6 little planets where he made acquaintance with some strange people. The first man he met was a king on a little planet, yet he claimed to be the king of the space and ridiculously justified his unshakable governance over all. The second person was a man of vanity, who enjoyed compliments of any form without considering whether its sincere or not. The third person was an alcoholic who tried to forget the fact that hes addicted to acohol by drinking like a fish. The fourth person was an abosolute money-oriented businessman, who cared nothing but his fortune. Next came the lamp-lighter who performed his duty blindly. The last one was a geographer who knew too much about geography to solve a real problem related to it. These six people each represented one kind of person like us. The author satirized peoples conceit, emptiness, fakeness, innocence and blindness through the tone of a child. I see eye to eye with the author in that the cause of peoples loneliness can be concluded to the negligence of the bonds that connects them. People are supposed to care about each other, cherish whats really important for them, and be grateful for the happiness that theyve gained. We all believe knowledge and experience enable us to see clearly and make right judgements all the time. But we may sometimes lose the right to speak straighforwardly, think creatively or love courageously resulting from what weve experienced. That why in our middle school textbooks, its the little kid that breaks the illusion of the emperor by saying ”but mum, he aint were anything”. When I was a child, I was definitely a good boy who went home on time after school and did his homework and never tried anything without moms permission. And now I am a grown-up, and still I am a good man, at least, thats what I heard. Sometimes when I was lonely and I began to think about my childhood, then all the happiness and care-free life came back to me as it were yesterday. Kids that once accompanied me during my childhood now become fathers and mothers of their kids and I myself am a child no more. Thinking about all these things have made me moody. Therere changes happening in our lives whether we are happy about it or not. People told me life is a journey which will never stop once its started. Whats left behind are happiness and sorrow, pride and shame, success and regret. Theres good old time to reminisce and theres sad hours that reminds us of the pain. Your feeling makes them real, and you know you lived. I want to conclude by saying some positive words that each yestersday used to be today, and each today is the future of yesterday, so making the most of today is the best way to cherish your lives. Our mortal beings are doomed to die. Its not sad, instead, death its just a process of our lives. After all, weve lived our lives and its what we do and how we think that determine who we are.
