坎特伯雷故事集读后感
看到这里，本人有些疑惑了。Knight翻译为“武士”，Chivalry 翻译为“武士道精神”实在是让在下有点无法接受。就好像友人从外国带回一精美工艺品赠与在下，爱不释手把玩许久，却发现座底屹然印着大大的三个单词“Made in China”那样的愕然。相对“骑士”，“武士”也许会更容易让中国人接受，且Knight也的确有“武士”的意思。不过在这篇文章中，这样的归化翻译是否会有些过头?如若不知原文，且对西欧文化了解甚少，这样的翻译岂不会给人“这个朝圣者是日本人”的感觉?毕竟就本人看来，“武士道精神”已深深根植于日本文化之中了。还有一处就是“出道”二字让本人有种奇怪的感觉，虽然在《中华在线词典》中，“出道”有——方言，指年轻人走上社会，能独立工作和生活——这层意思，但毕竟在现实生活里用得不广泛，故觉得这么翻译略有不妥。
不过，有些地方不去深究也并不影响正确理解和顺利阅读，因此从整体意义上来说，这个译本还是很有价值的，比较真实流畅地传达了作者的本意。这也就为本人接下来的文字和分析提供了一个较科学的基矗
整本书看下来，最大的感言是——乔叟这厮太油菜了(油菜=有才)!且不论他的写作是采用十音节“双韵体”(后来发展为著名的‘英雄双韵体’)的抑扬格诗再加上两篇散文，光是看他塑造的那些栩栩如生的人物就足矣。从高贵的骑士到贫贱的农夫，从尊荣的女修道院长到口无遮拦的巴斯妇，各行各业各个阶层，无一雷同。他们的语言，行为，外貌，无一不反映了14世纪英国的社会现状。他们并不是生活在远古字里行间的虚构人物，而是活生生地存在于那个时期甚至是现在的，我们身边的普通人。
客店老板和乔叟自己在整部故事集里可算是特殊的存在。正是由于热情豪爽的客店老板提出的建议和乔叟这个文学家的记录，这些朝圣者的故事才得以流传。客店老板算是个穿针引线掌管全局的人物，风趣幽默，聪明又不失严谨，懂得在最恰当的时机说出最符合环境的话语。乔叟一直默然，一度被人忽略甚至忘记他的存在，但最后他那个关于梅利比和他夫人慎子的故事，着实给本人留下了印象深刻。
骑士的故事反映了那个时期典型的骑士精神和骑士恋爱观。两个落难皇子爱上了敌国皇后的妹妹，最终反目，酿成悲剧(虽然某些方面来说算是圆满结局)。年轻美貌的贵族女子，没有任何肉体接触的“柏拉图”式恋情，为了心爱的女子决斗，战神Mars和爱神Venus的争战……典型的骑士传奇。最后的结局又隐隐透露出只能用爱去换取爱，而不是用武力。
管家(田产经纪人?)的故事讽刺报复了磨坊主，因磨坊主讲了个讽刺木匠的故事(仅为推测，因乔叟并未写出该故事)，而管家以前是个木匠。同样的事情发生在法院差使和游乞僧的身上，两个人相互以故事讥讽打压对方。却让读者从中看出二者半斤八两，都是以各种手段讹骗百姓钱财的骗子。他们故事的结局里，法院差使成为魔鬼的奴隶，游乞僧则受到了生平最大的羞辱。
律师用了散文形式，讲述了一位信心十足的公主康丝顿司的曲折故事。这位公主的美貌与信心成正比，她因在耶稣基-督的面前称义而备受神的怜悯。两次婚姻虽都遭受婆婆的迫-害，并受到魔鬼的攻击，但神的使者一直在保守这个圣洁的女子，最后的结局也算是苦尽甘来皆大欢喜了。
巴斯妇这个人物不可谓不是对传统的大挑战，她在故事前说的序言尤其精彩。她的五个丈夫，她的贞操观，她的婚姻观……每句话都是对这个男权主义至上社会的质疑与挑衅。正如她说 “假如史书由女人来编纂的话，如教士们保藏在经堂里的那么多，她们所记的男人的罪恶，恐怕所有亚当的子孙，都偿还不清”一样，她对男人的态度是带轻蔑的，她认为幸福的婚姻中唯有女人掌控一切才为美满。她的故事也充分说明了这一切。当骑士最后决定把一切主权交给妻子，让妻子有选择的权利时，婚姻才进入最美好的状态，这位妻子也就成为了年轻美丽，又忠诚又温柔的好妻子。
学者的故事语言优美逻辑清晰。格莉茜妲虽然出生低贱，却有着无尚的美德。她美丽，温柔，顺服，谦卑，孝顺，智慧，忠贞……具备一切贤德女子应有的品质。

福尔摩斯英文读后感
Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son
Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.
As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.
Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.
As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a GREat discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.
Baby Shark
Review:
The story of baby shark is tragic, page-turning and horrific. A teen witnesses the murder of her father, endures the unthinkable, and then barely lives to be haunted by it. The choice she makes to overcome is understandable and that is where the reader begins to accept the road, the blood-soaked, slippery road, Kristin begins to walk,
Baby Shark is the nickname Kristin earns as she picks up the pool cue that was ripped prematurely from her hustler father. Pool is only one of the skills she masters. The others are far more important than a game. They boil down to life and death, mostly the latter.
When I began reading Baby Shark, I, within pages of her physical recovery, knew where the story was going. You will, too. However, even though the situation borders on stereotypical, there is enough new and unique to make the story fresh and engaging and the characters real.
I'd caution chickens to avoid visiting Kristin's Texas as there are some pretty intense scenes. PI and vendetta/underdog-out-to-clean-up-the-world fans will likely find much to like in Baby Shark, both the character and the book.
