《木馬贏家》英文版讀后感
木馬贏家,寫了因為錢等誘惑,而把愛丟掉。下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編給大家準(zhǔn)備的《木馬贏家》英文版讀后感,僅供參考!
一:《木馬贏家》內(nèi)容簡介
選篇故事中的男孩保羅渴望母愛,但是母親卻不能感覺到愛,因為對金錢的追求已經(jīng)窒息了她的母愛的天性,使她喪失了愛的能力。保羅從母親眼中看不到愛,卻能在家中聽見一個聲音不斷輕聲低語:“一定要有更多的錢!一定要有更多的錢!”為了討母親歡心,也為了讓家里那個令人無法忍受的聲音停止下來,保羅騎上木馬,讓木馬帶他到一個“幸運的”地方去,因為母親告訴他好運可以帶來金錢。他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在騎木馬騎到瘋狂的狀態(tài)時,就能夠預(yù)知將會贏得下一場比賽的賽馬的名字。他贏了很多錢,但是家里的那個聲音不僅沒有消失,反而越來越大,說明人對金錢的渴望是沒有止盡的。保羅對賽馬結(jié)果的預(yù)見不再那么靈驗,在做了最后一次預(yù)測之后,他從木馬上摔了下來,不久死去。男孩保羅通過賭馬賺錢,男孩的母親、叔叔以及其他為金錢而瘋狂的人其實也是在賭博,為贏得金錢而犧牲了人的價值。 在《木馬贏家》中,對金錢的追求扭曲了人世間最珍貴的母子親情,母親無法去愛兒子,而兒子為了得到母愛,竟只能用錢去買。母親因而不再是愛的源泉,而成了造成兒子悲劇的根源。從這一點來看,這篇故事也反映了母親對兒子的負(fù)面影響,與《兒子與情人》似有相通之處。
二:《木馬贏家》原著選段
There were a boy and two little girls. They lived in a pleasant house, with a garden, and they had discreet servants, and felt themselves superior to anyone in the neighborhood.
Although they lived in style, they felt always an anxiety in the house. There was never enough money. The mother had a small income, and the father had a small income, but not nearly enough for the social position which they had to keep up. The father went into town to some office. But though he had good prospects, these prospects never materialized. There was always the grinding sense of the shortage of money, though the style was always kept up.
