篇1：《伟大的盖茨比》英文读后感

What is true happiness for a woman? Is it a rich husband who has no feelings for each other, or a poor boy who loves each other but has no money? Daisy, a woman who lost her love and dignity due to dependence and was played by two men with strong desire for occupation, is pitiful and pathetic. So the answer is independence, dignity and persistence. Without this premise, no matter how noble a woman is, she can only kneel forever.

Daisy loved Gatsby, once. But love is like a cicada. She runs away for him in the middle of the night, endures endless superficial accusations from the world, even gets drunk the day before marriage and throws away the wedding ring. Unfortunately, life is not an idol drama for her. Independent, and then earn money to run a family, just for love, for the deep attraction when the eyes touch, no, she didnt have the courage to bet. So at the cost of a lifetime of happiness. She compromised and satisfied the possessiveness of Tom, the first man. Tom, selfish, vulgar, hypocritical, new and old, but he has money and fame, and whats more, he needs a beautiful wife who can fill the scene. So she married Tom successfully. Step by step, step by step. For money, she lost the initiative. She endured her husbands affair and did nothing. She became pretentious and her voice was full of money. Five years made her lose her self-esteem due to compromise. At this time, the infatuated Gatsby suddenly appeared. He made every effort to arrange his “chance” meeting with Daisy, and took her to visit her luxurious villa. All this was just to let the disillusioned “American Dream” continue in Daisys regretful and shocked tears. Daisy was shaken in the face of the man who once loved and now is rich and invincible. So Daisy was controlled by two men at the same time. Nick said: you cant ask her too much. The saddest thing in life is that you cant stand the time, including conscience. Gatsby loved her, but her only love was herself, just as she had given up Gatsby. This time, after Mollys death, Gatsby let go of her own guilt and escaped at Toms instigation. Then in the future, Tom will deal with her by more severe means, no matter in emotion, power or family property. Now he has a more deadly handle: dont forget that you are a murderer!!

If Daisy is independent and insists, she will not marry the man she does not love. She will not lose herself step by step in order to please him. Think of the growing social problems of today. To give up a boyfriend who really loves himself for a wealthy semi old man, and then to use all kinds of fawning and various means for money. In the end, he feels fresh and faces the situation of being spit out and unable to get money. Everything is created by his own stupidity, dependence and greed.

A woman, in the face of the war, never is a group of beautiful, not how to rely on beauty and means to get more mens money, but in the competition of time, still have the courage to be independent, stick to, and be pure. So it doesnt make any difference whether Im married to a rich family or a weak one, because Ive always been on my own way. I can support my career with my own independence, stick to my love and keep my original self. Although the risk is greater, harder and more tortuous, this is life, isnt it?

篇2：《伟大的盖茨比》英文读后感

Know when to adopt this habit, and always write something after reading a book. For this did not hear less opposition voice, at that time was very upset for a while, thought I would like to write on their own things. But later in order to study, can not help but write unfamiliar, but found that the original thought that a very bad thing. A lot of things, but the fool said it was just a dream. Its better to compromise before its too early. If you dont kill, youll get the best of both worlds.

But I always dont give up. Although I cant see the future, I can understand what I dont want. However, after watching the Great Gatsby, I had a kind of wake-up shock, shivering with cold. This book was finished on the evening of September 4, and I have been procrastinating until now. At the beginning of reading, I didnt think how good the book was. Its amazing that it can become the second best English novel in the 20th century. I would say that Gatsby, the protagonist, is stupid. First, he fell in love with a girl who paid money because she didnt have money to be rejected. Then, he tried hard to make money and became an American breakout. He wanted to reunite with her dream. But he knew that the woman who had been married was full of the voice of money, but he could not help but coax her with a mansion and a sports car. At last, he inexplicably charged the woman and was shot dead. In addition to the “I” in the novel, there was also a fat man who had stayed in his library. There was nothing else in the funeral, which was quite different from the scene when he had a banquet and the guests were full of tents. I still remember in the novel that a car of oranges came to extract juice, and the Rolls Royce sports car became a bus from 9 a.m. to midnight, which was sent to the guests, like a beautiful and erosive dream, with gold as the base. In fact, Gatsbys tragic ending is not hard to predict. What he got in exchange for money is hypocrisy. Where can he do it really. Surprisingly, Gatsby had already seen the clue, but he was willing to jump in.

The first thing that appears in the novel is Thomas Parker danviriers saying: if you can make her happy, wear a gold hat, if you can jump high, jump for her too, until she cries out: “lover, lover with gold hat and high jump, I have to ask you!” Its exactly what Daisy, the gold digger, looks like. This is a very successful image - “her words are full of money flavor - this is the infinite charm of her voice cadence, the jingle of money, the singing of cymbals It seems that in the White Palace, the kings daughter, the golden girl... ”. Daisy, in Chinese, means Daisy, a small yellow white flower that symbolizes money and emptiness. When she met Gatsby for the first time, she wore white clothes and drove a white sports car. On the surface, she was innocent and pure. It was the pure image of white clothes that became his dream that he pursued for his whole life but could never reach. In fact, Daisys heart was empty and her soul smelled of copper. Though she was often dressed in white, she wore copper buttons and a small gold pen. Her goal in life is to have fun, and love is naturally based on money. She refused Gatsbys marriage to Tom because of this. When she saw Gatsbys expensive shirts, she was so excited that she buried her face in her clothes and cried. Im afraid she mostly regretted that she didnt marry Gatsby. Superficiality, emptiness, ignorance, indifference and selfishness are the essence of daisy, and in fact the root of Gatsbys tragedy. In fact, Daisy itself is the symbol of the American dream, which not only represents Gatsbys pursuit, but also represents the spirit of the whole “Jazz Age”, as well as the hypocritical values and moral standards of the bourgeoisie. Gatsbys deep yearning for the pure Daisy became his spiritual support, but the cruel reality once again hit him deeply. Thats why some people call this book a gorgeous elegy of the jazz age, “the most touching American tragedy.”.

As for the title of the Great Gatsby, forgive me for my stupidity, but I still havent read it. I just think he is not only stupid, but also pitiful. He wants to integrate into the upper class society, and he has hosted many banquets with his strong economic strength. He is also a man of the moment. But when he believed that he was going to a noble family dinner party and rushed into the inner room to change clothes and come out, he was just a car to meet him. The novel is written in the tone of “I”, a third party. It also mentions that Gatsbys efforts to squeeze out Wenzous words make it more clumsy. But “I” couldnt help but look at him and shout “they are all bastards, and their group of bastards together cant compare with you.” They mainly refer to Tom and Daisy, “they are irresponsible people - they smash things, destroy others, and then retreat to their own money or apathy, carelessness, or anything they hold together, and let others clean up the mess they left behind.”. I cant help thinking about where I stand when I say Gatsby is stupid and pitiful. Gatsbys way of hoarding wealth by selling moonshine was disgraceful, but those Daisy people were not clean enough to go there. Capital comes into the world, from head to toe, and every pore of it flows with blood and filth. Why should Gatsby be excluded because of this?

If I want to say that the whole novel is described as disillusionment by one word, Gatsbys tragedy lies in the pursuit of the wrong things. So is what weve been pursuing all our lives a mistake from the beginning?

篇3：《伟大的盖茨比》英文读后感

Theyre a bunch of jerks, “I cried across the lawn.” theyre all in a bunch thats no match for you “-- Fitzgeralds the Great Gatsby describes the book as a mere disillusionment of the American dream, which is obviously a regrettable mistake. The long life experience of Fitzgerald, a Washingtonian, in the eastern big city, his friendship with the western youth and his complicated attitude towards them make this novel most clearly show the American character in the huge literary world. Gentlemen, this is not the complicated and historical story of gangs in the past of America. They are ordinary American youth. From the long west coast to the eastern dream city, Gatsby, the dreamer, has the ambition and rudeness of a pioneer. Like part of the traditional character of the country, they are fond of predatory construction. Its just that Gatsbys line is the opposite of that of his adventurous ancestors: the East after the war represents all that life can enjoy, and where young people can exert all their chasing abilities. The historical background of cruelty and war brought up the militarists and adventurers first. So Gatsby they have to go to the middle or the east to chase and enjoy the wine and women the world has given us.

But Gatsby, who had returned from his service, was poor and his beloved girl was in the arms of others all day. The inferiority and self-esteem of rural youth Gatsby are growing at the same time, while the vanity of human nature will evolve into a huge struggle energy when it comes to the right opportunity. All these characters hearts and experiences are easy to understand. What is complicated is the world they live in. The world is complicated because it seems cold and cruel. But if you are at a high point, all these things will become lovely. Fitzgerald begins his story with the upstart Gatsby, who holds a grand party on a generous week. Celebrities come here, and Gatsby waits for the arrival of the beloved woman in a corner. In the end, the inferiors Gatsby, the nouveau riche Gatsby and the lonely Gatsby, like the Russians of lemontov, fought this life with failure. When he was born, no one saw him off, and everyone spat at him. The splendid feast is gone, the luxury houses and grass are reborn, and the indifference and silence are returned. Compared with his predecessors, Hawthorne or Henry. James Fitzgerald is one of them. In his eyes, maybe nothing is worse than the American schools. So Hawthorne wrote about his native England, Henry, in a charming and rich style. At the turn of the old world and the new world, James described the Americans as deeply as a European philosopher, while Hemingway, a dangerous bull, brought American perplexity to the ”Beat Generation“ of the worlds citizens, and then wrote the whole human perplexity. Among them, only Gerard is so simple: he faces the same dream of the youth in the West and the youth in the East. He looks at their poetic indulgence and revelry, and sees the brilliance and gloom of American life. He has no Oxbridge and Cambridge full of cattle and people, and he has only a poor professor in Princeton.

So southerners like Mohist love this pure American writer, while talented people like Faulkner have the opposite attitude. Compared with Gerard, the poet Whitman wrote America better and bolder, mark. Twain is more accurate than him in capturing the bitter tears of American humor. Henry has encountered more than him and portrayed America more richly. Fitzgeralds mediocrity is evident, however, in this man he wrote for an era. That era is so similar to todays China: vanity, money, power, and illegal business operations, the unreserved release of desire in the brilliant lights, people talk about celebrities and famous brands all day, without philosophy, poetry and real schools. This era and that era, the most naked reflection of human nature, but no one to write more moving human nature, the lack of real spiritual traction: everyone is so, there is no comparison. So the beauty of the Great Gatsby lies in its simple story, ordinary characters, and honesty. It does not have the vanity to describe the more magnificent crowd, does not take on the writing of the sense of history, such a simple story environment, appropriately depicts the vanity and human nature. When we see the upstart Gatsby asking himself over and over whether he is successful or trustworthy, and his goal of becoming a upstart is simply to regain his beloved woman, then Fitzgerald, a Washington native, finally stands firmly on Gatsbys side. Compared with those celebrities who live in a bright and empty heart, Gatsby, a western farmer, asks himself and is simple It is warm, firm and hopeful because he has fulfilled his dream and has generously shared his dream with others.

篇4：伟大的盖茨比英文读后感

伟大的盖茨比英文读后感

The Great Gatsby is ranked second in the Modern Library’s list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century, I got to know this brilliant work through Japanese writer Murakami Haruki’s work Norwegian?Wood in which he spoke highly of it.

The main plot is that a young man named Nick Caraway, who came to New York City in spring of 1922. He became involved in the life of his neighbor at Long Island, Jay Gatsby, a very rich man, who entertained hundreds of guests at his party. Gatsby revealed to Nick, that he fell in love with Nick's cousin Daisy before the war. At that time he was poor. However, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, a rich but boring man of good social position. Gatsby lost Daisy because he had no money, but he was still in love with her. He persuaded Nick to bring him and Daisy together again. ”You can't repeat the past,“ Nick said to him. Gatsby tried to convince Daisy to leave Tom, who, in turn, revealed that Gatsby has made his money from bootlegging. So they asked Daisy whom she loved. Daisy began to sob helplessly: “ I did love him once-but I loved you too.” Daisy, driving Gatsby's car, hit and killed Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, unaware of her identity. Gatsby remained silent to protect Daisy. Tom told Myrtle's husband Wilson it was Gatsby who killed his wife. Wilson murdered Gatsby and then committed suicide. Nick was left to arrange Gatsby's funeral, attended only Gatsby's father and one former guest. Nick returned to the his Midwest home, reflecting on Gatsby's dreams and the sad and cyclical nature of the past.?I think one of the clues is Gatsby’s dream-get back his lost love, the text describes the whole?thought-provoking story with how to get his dream come true? and the failure of the dream?.The author described this story by heart for he held the same story himself. In fact, he was the main character Gatsby. On the surface, The Great Gatsby is a story of the thwarted love between a man and a woman. Actually it is a story of the distorted American dream failing in an era of unprecedented prosperity and material excess.?

I have searched the Internet that Hemingway once said that it was woman that had ruined F. Scott Fitzgerald. The woman who loved deeply by him is a beautiful lady named Ginevra King. It seems that they have suffered the same condition in real life. Ginevra’s father has warned Gatsby, poor boys shouldn’t think of marrying rich girls, which hurt him so much. Apparently, this is an usual thing in reality, almost everyday we can hear this kind of news. Gossip journalists prefer the news about giants, especially some privacy and scandals. Love seems is the big potato among them. We know so many love tragedies about stars who married the giant that I just can’t understand why there are so many people choose to marry a rich man like?moths?to a flame. Daisy was a woman alike, I don’t think she was happy , maybe she was just adapted to a lavish life. This is a big question for every girl, Mr. Right should be a poor man who loves her or a playboy who owns a big fortune? Love is an internal topic for everyone. Gatsby’s story was a love tragedy, but it really reflected the general mood of society, material was much important than true feeling. In this money crazy modern times, many people make money from fraud, bribery, exploitation and smuggling. Also in this material world, we are thirsty, worried and lost. However, we should keep ourselves in the rapidly changed world. Above are my thoughts about the heroine’s experience. Also it is no doubts that the book is a famous work with literary heft. Some critics said that this work is an elegy of the jazz age. Maybe it’s true, anyway it reflected the life in 19th 20s, and it’s really amazing.

篇5：《伟大的盖茨比》读后感

他们是一帮混蛋，”我隔着草坪喊道，“他们那一大帮子都放在一堆还比不上你” ――费茨杰拉德《了不起的盖茨比》仅仅用“美国梦”的幻灭来形容这本书，显然是个令人遗憾的错误。华盛顿人费茨杰拉德在东部大城市漫长的生活经历，和西部青年的友谊和面对他们复杂的态度，使这本小说在庞大文学世界里，最清楚大线条的凸现了美国的性格。

先生们，这不是《美国往事》里的深具历史感的故事，他们是几个普通的美国青年。从漫长的西海岸直达东部梦想之城，梦想者盖茨比身上具备着开拓者的野心和粗暴，像这个国家传统性格的一部分，他们钟情于带有掠夺性的建设。只是盖茨比的路线与他那些善于冒险的祖先相反：大战后的东部代表了人生能享受的一切，以及年轻人施展一切追逐能力的地方。残忍和战乱的历史背景，最先造就的是军事家和冒险家。所以盖茨比他们必须到中部或者东部，去追逐和享受世界赐予人类的美酒和女人。

然而服役归来的盖茨比贫困潦倒，心爱的姑娘整日在别人的怀抱中。农村青年盖茨比内心的自卑和自尊正在严酷的同时增长，而虚荣的人类天性在遇到适当的机会时，会演变为巨大的奋斗能量。这一切人物的内心和经历都易于理解，复杂的是他们所处的世界，世界复杂是因为它显得冷漠而残酷；但是如果你身处一个高点，那么这一切都会变得可爱。

费茨杰拉德从暴发户盖茨比开始他的故事，这个暴发户慷慨的周周举行盛大的晚会，社会名流们闻声而来，而盖茨比则毫不起眼的在某个角落等待心爱女人的来临。在最后，自卑者盖茨比、暴发户盖茨比、孤独者盖茨比，像莱蒙托夫的俄罗斯人一样，以失败的决斗了此一生。生后无人送行，众人唾沫对他。灿烂的华宴散去，豪宅荒草重生，回归冷漠和寂静。相对于前辈霍桑或者亨利.詹姆斯，费茨杰拉德是土包子一个，在他眼中，或许没有什么比美国本土的学校糟糕了。因此霍桑以其迷人而丰富的笔调写他的故乡英格兰，亨利.詹姆斯在旧世界和新世界交替的时候，像一个欧洲哲学家那样深刻的描写美国人，而海明威这头危险的公牛则把美国的迷惘带到世界公民群体“垮掉的一代”中修炼，然后写成整个人类的迷惘。这其中只有杰拉德是如此单纯：他面向西部青年和东部青年们同一个梦想，他看着他们毫无诗意的放纵和狂欢，目睹美国生命的灿烂和黯淡，他没有牛人遍地的牛津和剑桥，他只有普林斯顿的蹩脚教授。

所以南方人爱墨生热爱这个纯种美国作家，而才华横溢者如福克纳则态度相反。相比杰拉德，诗人惠特曼比他更好更豪迈的写出了美国，马克.土温比他更准确的捕捉了美国幽默下的辛酸血泪，欧.亨利则比他遭遇更多，比他更丰富的刻画美国。费茨杰拉德的平庸由此可见，然而，这个人，他写了一个时代。那个时代和今天的中国如此相像：虚荣、金钱、权力，以及非法的商业操作，欲望在灯火辉煌中毫无保留的释放，人们整日谈论名流和名牌，没有哲学、诗歌和真正的学校。

这个时代和那个时代，最赤裸的映照了人性，然而却无人把人性写得更加动人，缺少真正的精神牵引：人人如此，无从对照。也因此，《了不起的盖茨比》的动人之处，在于它简简单单的故事，普通的人物，和诚实。它没有虚荣的去描写更波澜壮阔的人群，没有担负历史感的写作，这样单纯的故事环境，恰当的刻画了虚荣和其中的人性。当我们目睹暴发户盖茨比一遍遍的问自己是否成功，是否值得信赖，而他成为暴发户的目的单纯到仅仅因为要夺回心爱的女人，这时候华盛顿人费茨杰拉德终于坚定站在盖茨比这一边，相比起那些生活光鲜而内心空洞冷漠的名流，西部农民盖茨比的自我发问和单纯令人温暖而坚定，带来希望，因为他完成了自己的梦，并曾慷慨的与众人分享他的梦。

篇6：盖茨比读后感

听完香港传媒人梁文道道长对《The Great Gastby》的简评后，对这本书产生了不低的兴趣，关键是五六万字的书想来读完也不会有什么压力（国富论确实把我虐的不轻），于是从网上找来电子书欣赏一番。想着翻译总会缺失些原文的内涵，所以找到英文原版想要品尝纯天然的味道，结果翻了不到一章就发现高估了自己的英文水平，实在是云雾弥漫，艾艾，应该说好比隔着雾霾看京城，实在让人提不起兴致。只好老实翻起中文版，果然很快，花了一个晚上的时间就把全书看完，意犹未尽。于是隔天又花时间大致浏览了下澳洲导演巴兹鲁赫曼拍摄的电影。不得不说，这个导演确实厉害，非常善于把梦幻般的爱情与无奈的现实生活捆绑起来进行展示，而且能基本遵从原著的意味，特别好。后来得知巴兹导演的《红磨坊》《罗密欧与朱丽叶》《澳洲乱世情》等都是由云泥之间的交融来引发读者对世俗的深思，略去不表。《了不起的盖茨比》亦是如此，乍一看通篇好像是写在纸醉金迷中那不一般的凄美爱情，稍微咀嚼便发现有不一样的味道。

上世纪二十年代第一次世界大战结束后，人们开始在废墟上重建世界，没有被战火侵袭的美国更是迎来一个最繁华的年代。在这个时代，所有的美国人几乎陷入一种狂热的状态――所有人认为不论出身什么阶级、有何背景或是受教育程度如何，只要付出努力就一定能在北美这片沃土获得巨大的成功，这也确是美国梦的典型特征（“万恶的”资本主义可以毫无顾忌的追求个人财富、享受物质生活等消费享乐主义）。菲茨杰拉德说这是爵士时代，这个时代也确实造就了一大批的新富豪。但是物质金钱地位的成功并没能弥补这些新富豪们曾经的遗憾，他们回过头想要改变过去，想要再次踏进那条河流，盖茨比正是是他们的缩影。

“盖茨比的梦幻过高过大，超越了黛西本身，超越了一切，他以一种创造性的激情投入这个梦幻，不断增光添彩，用迎面飘来的每一根绚丽的羽毛加以缀饰。”

盖茨比始终不渝的忠于自己年轻时构建的理念，正如书中所说，盖茨比是柏拉图式理念的产物，是为主效命的上帝之子，致力于寻求一种博大的、纯净的、超越世俗的虚幻之美。

不知什么原因，菲茨杰拉德的这本小说让我却想起了《爱丽丝梦游仙境》这个童话故事，爱丽丝追随揣着怀表的白兔先生进入奇幻疯狂的仙境，她不断探险，同时又不断追问“我是谁”，到最后猛然惊醒，才发现原来这一切都是自己的一个梦境。两本书好像都是要展示无论经历多么绚丽的旅程，无论付出多大的努力，获得多大的成功，最后都不过是一场空。爱丽丝从梦境醒来，盖茨比在对梦境的憧憬构建中被人枪杀，可是谁又能说爱丽丝要比盖茨比更幸运呢？就好比尘世中的人们只能无奈接受人生的根本困境：人生有梦，但梦终究会醒。

人生在世为什么要有梦想，时下比较盛行的“生活不仅有苟且的当下，还有诗和远方”中，诗和远方实际就是每个人心中的梦。哪怕生活的压力让你以为所有的梦想早已随风而去，但终有那么一瞬你会发现那个远方的梦其实一直都在。当然这个远方对于每个人来说千差万变，远方也不仅仅是从南极跑到北极这么简单。

人为什么需要梦想和远方，究其根本，是因为来到世上的每个人都是不完整的，就像“心”中间好像缺了什么，人生就是在寻找如何填充这个缺口的过程，我们都想要找到什么东西去弥补生来自有的遗憾。这个东西一定是可以给自己带来充实感、安全满、满足感或是幸福感的东西。有的人选择物质金钱，有的人选择名利权力，也有的人选择用爱情，不一而足。这里不想对此评判高下贵贱，换个角度看，都是在寻找人生来就失去的东西，都是为实现自我的完善。有的人比较幸运可以实现最初的梦想，所以人们说不忘初心；有的人在追寻最初梦想的过程中实现了另外的梦想，人们又说无心插柳柳成荫；可是大多数人的梦想可能永远无法实现，或者说梦想已经成为油盐酱醋茶，成为生活中实实在在的东西。当如此平平淡淡、简简单单的度过一生时，人生的印记最终会像留在沙滩上的足迹一样被浪潮冲刷的一丝不剩。几十年几百年之后，谁都不会记得有过“我”这样一个人，“我”也什么都不会留下，甚至好像没有来过这个世界一样。听起来让人有点恐慌，但换个角度，对每个个体来说，在世上走这么一遭确实又好像实现了些什么，虽然已经实现了的好像不是那么清晰。这是因为真正的人生不是结果导向，我们并不是要追求那一颗“果”，而是在追寻梦想、实现梦想的过程中不断完善自己的那颗“心”。

“盖茨比相信那盏绿色的灯，它是一年一年在我们眼前渐渐远去的那个美好未来的象征。从前它从我们的面前溜走，不过没关系，明天我们将跑的更快，手臂伸的更远……总会有一个明朗的早晨……

于是我们奋力搏击，好比逆水行舟，那怕不停被水浪冲退，回到了过去。”

人生是场修行，需细细品味。

篇7：盖茨比读后感

我年纪还轻，阅历不深的时候，我父亲教导过我一句话，我至今还念念不忘。“每逢你想要批评任何人的时候，”他对我说，“你就记住，这个世界上所有的人，并不是个个都有过你拥有的那些优越条件。”

盖茨比苦等了五年，买了一座豪宅，在那里把星光施予来来往往的飞蛾――目的只是在某天下午到一个陌生人的花园里“转一下”。

他以一种创造性的热情投入了这个幻梦，不断地添枝加叶，用飘来的每一根绚丽的羽毛加以缀饰。

当我坐在那里对那个古老的、未知的世界思索时，我也想到了盖茨比第一次认出对岸黛西家码头上那盏绿灯时，他是多么的惊奇。他走过了漫长的道路才来到这片蓝色的草坪上，他的梦似乎近在咫尺，唾手可得，几乎不可能抓不住的。他不知道那个梦已经远他而去，把他抛在后面，抛在这个城市后面那一片无垠的混沌之中，在那里合众国的黑色原野在夜色中滚滚向前伸展。盖茨比相信那盏绿色的灯。它是一年一年在我们眼前渐渐远去的那个美好未来的象征。从前它从我们面前溜走，不过那没关系--明天我们将跑得更快，手臂伸的更远，总有一个明朗的早晨……

于是我们奋力向前划，逆流而上的小舟，不停地倒退，进入过去。

读完之后我脑子里就冒出来马老板的一句歌词：穷极一生做不完一场梦。

前言中，姚乃强先生一直强调这是菲茨杰拉德在讲一个美国梦。通过写那个时代美国社会种种腐败现象，感受菲氏对二十年代美国表面繁荣的忧心，写因为时代的不同，美国梦的破裂，写东西部的差距和冲突。

“当我坐在那里对那个古老的、未知的世界思索时，我也想到了盖茨比第一次认出对岸黛西家码头上那盏绿灯时，他是多么的惊奇。他走过漫长的道路才来到这片蓝色的草坪上，他的梦似乎近在咫尺，唾手可得，几乎不可能抓不住的。他不知道那个梦已经远他而去，把他抛在后面，抛在这个城市后面那一片无垠的混沌之中，在那里合众国的黑色原野在夜色中滚滚向前伸展。”

而我更中意的是小说里讲述的爱情故事。

“当黛西洁白的脸贴近他的脸时，他的心越跳越快。他知道他跟这个姑娘亲吻，便把他那些不可言喻的憧憬与她的生命气息永远结合在一起了。他的心像上帝的心一样专一，绝不可痴心旁骛。因为他等着，再倾听一会那已经在一颗星上敲响的音叉。然后，他亲吻了她。经他的嘴唇一碰，她就像一朵鲜花一样为他绽放，于是这个理想的化身就完成了，“他诉说的一切，以及他黯然神伤的表情，使我回想起一点什么……我很久以前在什么地方听过的一个迷离恍惚的音调，几句零落的歌词。”

迷离恍惚，歌词零落。作者自己其实已经通过尼克卡拉韦这个视角把这份美好初恋看穿。这仅是存于盖茨比心里的美好。可就是为了这份美好，盖茨比一直在努力，直到付出了自己的生命。

“他站在那里双手插在口袋里，仰望像洒落的胡椒粉般布满夜空的银色繁星。我以一种奇怪的方式朝幽暗的海边望去，那里除了一盏绿色的灯之外，什么都没有。灯光微弱又遥远，也许那时一个码头的尽头。”

河对面是黛西的房子，里面住着她和她的丈夫。

盖茨比远远地望着，他知道总有一天，他会再次与黛西相遇，再次接着初恋那美丽的场景，接着把生活重新来过。

作者这个可恶的家伙又通过尼克卡拉韦这个视角把这份惦念看穿，对面什么都没有，也许那是一个码头的尽头。突然巨大的悲哀袭来。其实什么都没有。盖茨比怀着这份惦念，望了四年。

“整个夏天的夜晚我邻居家的音乐声不绝于耳。在他的蓝色花园里，男男女女像飞蛾一般在笑语、香槟酒和星光中来回晃悠。下午涨潮时，我看到他家的客人从搭在木筏上的高台上跳水，或者在晒得发烫的沙滩上晒日光浴，同时两条汽艇划破海湾的水面，拖着滑水板在飞溅的泡沫中破浪前进。每逢周末，他的那辆罗尔斯罗伊斯轿车就成了公共汽车，从早上九点到深更半夜穿梭来往，接送从城里来的一批批客人，而他的那辆旅行车则像一只敏捷的黄色甲壳虫蹦来跳去接送所有的火车班次。到了星期一，八个仆人，外加一名园丁，用拖把、刷子、锤子和修枝剪苦苦干上一整天，收拾头天晚上留下的一片狼藉。”

这是个盛大的宴会，盖茨比每周都要举行。很多人都没有接受邀请。有的时候，他们从来到走，压根没

有见过盖茨比。他们就是一心奔着晚会来的。其中很多甚至每次都来，吃饱喝足，然后对盖茨比先生大骂一番，骂到痛快后，开车离开，然后下一次再来。盖茨比可能打心底里就看不起他们，尽管都标称社会名流，无非就是一些混吃混喝的家伙罢了。他心里想的只是能见到黛西一面，于是宴会一如既往，终于因为我尼克卡拉韦和黛西兄妹的关系，黛西来了。

“这些衬衫多美，我看了很伤心，因为我从来没有见过这么这么美的衬衫。”

这是盖茨比和黛西见面后，黛西的话。重重的一个伏笔，我看了很伤心，因为我没有见过这么美的衬衫。其实你早已经见过比衬衫美10倍100倍的这么美的爱情，但仅是见过而已，你满足于见过，然后就像丢掉旧衬衫一样丢掉了，嫁给了名气和力气都称职的汤姆。再次见面，眼中仍然是漂亮的衬衫。

“要不是有水雾，我们可以看见海湾对面你家的房子，你家码头的尽头总有一盏通宵不灭的绿灯。”

我不敢想象盖茨比先生说这话时有多么辛酸，他知道黛西只不过是一个以享乐为人生最高目标的资产主义阶级小姐，没有思想，没有情操，浅薄虚假，百无聊赖，无所事事。而他自己心里却总有一盏通宵不灭的绿灯，那是他这些年源源不竭的动力。

篇8：盖茨比读后感

知何时养了这一习惯，每每看完一本书总要写点什么。为这也没少听到反对的声音，当时很是懊恼了一会，心想我要写就写了，自己的事。可后来为了学业奔波，不由得笔下生疏，却发现原来以前认为很了不得的事不过尔尔。很多事情，不过痴人说梦罢了，倒不如趁早妥协，缴枪不杀，也好落个两全其美。

但我总是不死心，虽然看不清未来的路，却明白什么是自己不想的。然而看了《伟大的盖茨比》后，我却有种一棒打醒的激灵，冷得直哆嗦。这本书是九月四号晚就看完的，拖拖拉拉到现在才提笔。初看的时候没觉得这本书有多好，能成为20世纪百部最佳英语小说第二名实在是匪夷所思。要我说，里面的主人公盖茨比简直傻透了，先是爱上一个拜金的女孩因为没钱被拒绝，然后拼命赚钱一跃成为美国爆发户想要和她鸳梦重圆。可是他明明知道这个早已嫁作人妇的女人满嘴都是金钱的声音，却还是忍不住用豪宅，用跑车来诱哄她，最后还莫名其妙的替这个女人顶了罪，被人一枪打死。送葬时除了小说里面的“我”，还有一个曾经在他家图书馆里逗留过的胖子，再无其他，同他生前大摆宴席时宾客满棚的场景实在是极大的反差。我还记得小说里写到一车车的橙子运来榨汁，劳斯莱斯跑车成了公共汽车从早晨九点直到深更半夜送往来宾，仿佛一场绮丽糜烂的梦，用金子打底。其实盖茨比悲惨的结局不难预料，用金钱换来的都是虚情假意，哪里做得了真。令人惊讶的是盖茨比早已看出端倪来了，却还是心甘情愿地往里跳。

小说里首先出现的就是托马斯・帕克・丹唯里埃的这么一段话：如果能让她心动，那就戴顶金帽子，如果你能跳得高，就为她也跳一跳，直到她高呼：“情郎，带金帽、跳得高的情郎，我非得把你要！”完全符合拜金女郎黛西的写照。这是一个塑造得很成功的形象――“她言语中却是充满了金钱味――这正是她声音抑扬顿挫的无穷魅力所在，金钱的叮当作响声，铙钹齐鸣的歌声……好像高高在上的白色王宫里，国王的女儿，黄金女郎……”。黛西这一词Daisy，中文意思就是雏菊，一种黄色的小白花，象征着金钱和空虚。她第一次与盖茨比见面时穿的是白色的衣服，开的是白色的跑车，从表面上看是天真纯洁，也正是这种白衣飘飘的纯洁形象成为他追求一生、却又始终无法企及的梦想。实际上黛西内心空虚，灵魂充满着铜臭味。她虽然常着一袭白衣，却缀着铜纽扣，携带着一支小金笔。她的生活目标就是享乐，爱情自然也是建立在金钱之上的。她拒绝盖茨比后嫁给汤姆就是因为如此，后来见到盖茨比那些名贵的衬衫，竟然激动地把脸埋在衣服里哭起来，恐怕多半是后悔自己当初怎么没有嫁给盖茨比。浅薄、空虚、无知、冷漠、自私，这正是黛西的实质所在，实际上也恰恰是盖茨比悲剧的根源。事实上，黛西本身就是美国梦的象征，不仅代表了盖茨比的追求，更代表了整个“爵士时代”的精神面貌，以及资产阶级虚伪的价值观和道德标准。盖茨比内心深处对纯洁的黛西的向往化为支持他的精神支柱，然而残酷的现实再次给他以深深的打击。这就是为什么会有人把这本书称作是一阕华丽的“爵士时代”的挽歌，“最为动人的美国悲剧”。

至于书名说伟大的盖茨比，恕我愚笨，我还是没有读出来，只是觉得他不仅傻，而且可怜，他想要融入上流社会，凭着雄厚的经济实力办起了一次次的宴会，也算是一个风云人物。但是当他信以为真要去参加一个贵族的家庭晚宴兴冲冲的跑进里屋换身衣服出来时，迎接他的不过是绝尘而去的汽车罢了。小说是以“我”这个第三方的口吻来写的，里面还提到盖茨比努力的措辞试图挤出文邹邹的话来结果愈发显得笨拙。然而“我”在最后却忍不住对他看喊“他们全是混蛋，他们那帮混蛋加在一起也比不上你。”他们这里主要是指汤姆和黛西，“他们是不负责任的人――他们砸碎了东西，把别人给毁了，然后就退缩到自己的金钱或者麻木不仁，漫不经心当中，或者是任何吧他们维系在一起的东西当中，让别人去收拾他们留下的一堆烂摊子”。写到这里我不禁在想当我说盖茨比傻、可怜的时候是站在谁的立场上来讲的呢。盖茨比靠贩卖私酒囤积财富，手段是不怎么光彩，但那些黛西之流也干净不到那里去。资本来到这个世界，从头到脚，它的每一个毛孔，都流淌着血和肮脏。凭什么盖茨比要因为这一点而受到排斥呢？

要我说的话整部小说用一个词形容就是幻灭，盖茨比的悲剧就在于追求了错误的东西。那么我们所毕生追求的是不是从一开始也就是个错误呢？

篇10：了不起的盖茨比英文读后感

了不起的盖茨比英文读后感

I have heard of the famous novel The Great Gatsby for many years. However, until recently have I got the time and mood to read it. As soon as I finish reading, I find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong.

This is a story about Gatsby and his pursuit for the ‘American dreams’。 During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named Daisy. But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided to marry Tom, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby. Broken-hearted Gatsby then held the conviction that money was of the greatest importance. He strongly believed in the ‘American dreams’， which as we all know, advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts. He strived for five years to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisy’s to attract her. He was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be. Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.

After reading it, something reverberates in my heart. I can’t help thinking of the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey. One thing may be the lonely void of people’s spiritual world. I am deeply impressed by chapter 3, where a vivid description of a party is given. There were beautiful girls, drunk men, and boisterous crowds there, but none of them perceived the pointless of their lives and the barren of their minds. To see this phenomenon deeper, there were two circumstances underlying it. The first is the lack of dreams. Some people, especially the people of the upper class, lived an aimless life. They wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life. They chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity, namely Daisy and Tom. The second is the misleading of dreams. Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursued their dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously. They might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as equality. Unfortunately, when they were busy chasing their dreams, everything changed with time. When they were anxious about the to-gets, they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes. The excellent use of symbolization illustrates this idea perfectly. The imagery of ‘green light’ is the most important symble which occurred three times in the novel. The green-light’s obscure in the mist indicates the dim of Gatsby’s dreams.

As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us. To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue. And in the process of fulfilling our dreams, we should always be concious about what we really desire. Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness.

篇11：了不起的盖茨比读后感英文

篇12：了不起的盖茨比读后感英文

At the beginning of the review, I am afraid but I need mention that I read The Great Gatzby from my paper book, not online, so it might be a little strange in the record of my reading history and also the lack of comments.

After reading the novel, I sympathized deeply for Gatzby, who dedicated almost his whole life into pursuing Daisy, but eventually was shot down for Daisy’s fault, and also Nick, who narrate this heart-broken story to us. But I believe that all is destined, not only his success, but also his miserable, dramatic ending.

First, Gatzby meant to be succeed, which was determined by his personality. He was such an absolute perfectionist, fairly speaking, a paranoiac, that he never accept he was inferior to others in all kinds of aspects. He scheduled his life when he was young in order to achieve his goal. He couldn’t live like Tom who dissipated his time on women, also couldn’t like Wilson live so meaninglessly, and his ambition made it impossible for him to be content with common life. After the moment he denied his poor family background, changed his name into Jay Gatzby, he either succeed, or die.

No matter how, he will succeed. I always believe it because his characteristic promised.

And I also believe Gatzby would fall in love with a lady with a celebrated background. Because he was a perfectionist , he must long for a charming, wealthy, graceful aristocracy. Daisy was just a representation of perfection, a concrete thing in his dream.

However, Daisy falls far short of Gatzby’s ideal. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, and hypocritical. She is careless person who smashes thing up and then retreats behind her money. She allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle ever though she herself was driving the car. Finally, rather than attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no contact address.

Gatzby knew exactly what kind of person she was. And the very beginning of the novel, he said “Her voice is full of money”. But how can it matter? His puzzle of life would be incomplete without Daisy, and as we know, he was such a paranoiac that never let it happen. It’s impossible for him to restart.

Gatzby’s obsession about Daisy and Daisy’s characteristic determined the trend of plot.

So, it is destined.

And not only from the plot development we can say Gatzby’s fate was destined, but also from the writer himself. Technically, Gatzby wasn’t a only fictional character, but also the reflection of writer, Fitzgerald himself. He also had a complex relationship of his own. His own experience made him believe that there’s a huge gap between the “natural” rich and the ”new” rich.

In rich boy, his another novel, he showed his attitude directly:

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.

They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.

Because of the poverty and adversity they had been through, they always cherish the first glamorous thing dropping in their life. Some of them even take it as the highest goal in life, like Gatzby who considered Daisy as his whole world. When their dream faded out gradually, they might behave like Gatzby, deceive themselves to protect their “little green light” in their heart until their hearts are beaten to pieces by reality.

At last, I want to use the final sentence in The Great Gaztby as the end, which I consider as the most profound ending I have ever read and inspire me a lot. Gatzby’s dream was always behind him, from the moment he met Daisy and fell in love with her. So what he did was just striving hard back into the past against the current of time, like the ending says:

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

篇13：了不起的盖茨比英文读后感

Recently read ”the great gatsby, a story of hegemony set up dawn. The north American continent, is hundred years ago, the economic development of the train sped forward; Friction machines roar, but also too much to hide a moment of the heart. The book, that history is a little mark.

Investigate its likelihood is a person's tragedy, is the tragedy of the society as a whole, may not be important. Wine party smallpox, extravagant luxury residence, colorful gorgeous clothes, just for the sake of his heart love Daisy. Think first, young and beautiful, sketched a period of time; Flies away and alternative fate lane person, in the heart of love is someone else's confidante. The deep love, the injury the farthest, cut; Not reality, immersed in the beautiful dream, but blurred the forward field of vision. Weakness of gunfire, all the dreams and beautiful, vulnerable to burst, scattered in the wind, without trace.

Gatsby, his great, because he was the degree of potential energy, but because of his pursuit of the good feelings. He hasn't done anything wrong, but also had to the empty rooms. A dream, how to do, easy, but also how to away, difficult to achieve. In an age of people pursuit of material, to be backed by real emotions. Buckish, stained with money, odour, lost a condition is a pure heart. Leave a piece of pure land, at that time, doomed to oblivion the audacity of commitments.

Finally wrote: “we continue to strive to move forward, stream, after being constantly push, until the return to the days of the old one.”

Heart can not help a Chu. Accustomed to another potential, accustomed to the intrigue, people, really happy? Blundering world, difficult times, disguise the Buddhism, purports to recall the mood like that is like water. This, is the only thing we can do?

“Day after day, excitement consumed by gradually.” Reality, kill too much like real unreal image. Those beautiful like a castle in the air, and hollow crowd away already. In between dreams and reality, we go from here?

Gatsby is the choice of the former. Even if the cruel reality, fate, his image is still great; Pure love is hard to stop, right and wrong about his, also make them in a glorious situation across the sphere of a bygone era. Quietly away, few people look at the light. Through one hundred, is the ray of light, to the left a dark era deserves stay have story.

Even if you, in the reality, still mark a dream back without regrets. That is worth pity era, these moving words, bring us infinite daydream.
