在电影《Shadowlands 影子大地》中，C.S.路易斯说了这样一句话：

        读完《小公主》，我更加确信了我对“公主”这两个字的理解是对的。“公主”这个名称和一个女人的头衔、门第、财富无关。引用原文的一句话。“A princess has nothing to do with what you look like, or what you have. It has only to do with what you THINK of, and what you DO." 翻译：一位公主和她的长相以及拥有的东西无关。它和你想什么与做什么有关。

        公主这两个字的分量是由一个女人背后代表的品质或精神决定的。就像欧洲中世纪的骑士。他不仅代表一个身份，更代表一种精神。比如骑士的八大品质：谦卑(Humility)、荣誉(Honor)、牺牲(Sacrifice)、英勇(Valor)、怜悯(Compassion)、诚实(Honest)、公正(Justice)、灵魂（Spirituality)。

        这本书还让我想起了曾经陪侄子看的一部动画片，《小公主索菲亚》。这部迪士尼动画片非常地契合这本书。有女儿的，这部动画片不容错过哦。
        第二，这本书更加坚固了我要每日阅读的信念。这本书里面的小公主，她的成熟度和面对苦难的承受力都离不开她平常日积月累的阅读，连她的教养也是通过阅读训练起来的。提到阅读，我还想推荐一本李伟文的《阅读是最浪漫的教养》。这本书实践性特别地强，它有很多的步骤和案例分析。它会教导你如何培养孩子从小爱上阅读？
        第三，这本书在庆祝“人性的美好”。因为身边的人，我的状态原本不好，但这本书提醒了我人除了恶的一面，还有善的一面。

        有兴趣的，读完，欢迎一起交流意见。

        

        

           

“A Little Princess”
A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett—a famous novelist and dramatist. It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts it talks about creating miracles, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book can bring me into a world that is more than reality while reading it. The extraordinary story makes me ponder a lot and gives me a deep impression that every girl can be a princess.
In my opinion, it is impossible for every rich girl to act like a well-behaved princess, but Sara, the heroine of the novel, did it! She was an imaginative little girl who had such intelligent small face and such perfect manners. Sara was a very nice girl who had a gentle, appreciative ways of saying, such as “If you please” “Thank you” which was very charming. So, not only her teachers and classmates liked her, but also her servants liked her. There was a time when Sara became a poor and pitiful servant insulted by the snobbish headmaster of the school. In spite of this, she had never complained to anyone about the horrible suffering she had endured. Sara was confident, brave, optimistic and kind-hearted just like before and she had never given up her enthusiasm of life. No matter when, Sara acted like a princess, and on account of this, she had accomplished a great deal of miracles over and over again.
After reading this outstanding book, I was shocked by Sara, a little girl who suffered such unimaginable pain and tortures, but still had an opposite attitude towards life. What impresses me most is that Sara put on her act of being a princess when she wore thin bottom shoes, wading in the street of London. From my point of view, her spirit of being so strong-minded when she was in hard times is worth admiring.
Truly, every girl is a princess coming into common life. The “princess” I mean is not a princess living in the palace and being regarded as the apple of everyone’s eye. As the matter of fact, the “princess” is at heart. I am in the belief that every ordinary girl in the world can be a princess. The way for a girl to be a princess is quite simple. Just suppose! You can suppose yourself to be a princess, and go about your business confidently without caring how the others would treat you. If you want to have more resemblance to a princess, be more kind and try your best to help the people in need. The most important thing you are supposed to do is that to feel like a real princess at any occasion, particularly when you are involved with enormous melancholy. Do not feel the conditions you faced are extremely wretched and attempt to get rid of the feeling of hopelessness and uneasiness. The less you look like a princess, the more you need to feel like a princess at heart.
Every girl can be a princess if she can do all I mentioned, no matter she is rich, beautiful or not. To speak truthfully, I cannot do as well as Sara. However, I will exert myself on being a princess mentally.
Do not feel depressed any more, to be a well-thought-of princess like Sara. You can do it, because Every Girl Can Be A princess.

“One Thousand and One Nights”
This book is simply wonderful. The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf, of Bagdhad, Arabia, and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula. Sinbad the Sailor is in there, as is Aladdin in it's original form, and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wife's unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed. A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories, and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages. I won't tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess, but you will find humor, enchantment, wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life. I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature. Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting, lively stories. I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them. Any child would enjoy these stories, and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.
After reading<Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp>
This holiday, I read a book named “Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp”. It is a famous fairy tale written by an English auther named Judith Dean. It tells us a story about how a “good-for-nothing” becomes to a rich man by an enchanted lamp.
The story is like this: When Aladdin was a boy, he just want to play. He talked and laughed and played with his friends all day at the maket. By accident, he got the enchanted lamp from a magician named Abanazar. And used it to get food and money. Soon, Aladdin and his mother were rich.
Five years later, he married the Sultan’s daughter, Princess Badr-al-Budur. And built a very beautiful palace for her. They lived very happily. But soon, Abanazar came back and deceived the lamp from the princess. And snatched the palace and the princess. So Aladdin went to Morocco by the jinnee of the ring, rescued the princess and took the lamp away. Afterwards, Aladdin and his princess lived happily.
I think, Aladdin is really a bad boy. He is so lazy and did not do any work. His mother always says to him:“You are a lazy boy—a good-for-nothing!” Yes, Aladdin is really good-for-nothing. But he can do one thing,that is calling the jinnee. Ture,is a good thing. But in our real life, we don’t have a jinnee and we can’t do the things like Aladdin. Everybody has many wishes, but we can’t just want to find short cuts. We should believe ourselves. We should work hard by ourselves. If we just want to live off the labour of others, we will be good-for-nothing. We should realize our wishes by ourselves, not by others.
I think, everybody has a jinnee, it just lives in our hearts but we can’t see it. In fact, we are the jinnee in our life. We can let the dreams come ture. As long as we can try hard and work hard, we can discover success is not far from us. So believe ourselves, we’re the jinnee of ourselves.
"Romeo And Juliet" impressions of after-reading
In present's soap opera, we hear that“the child are frequently innocent” , but at the end of the story, child's destiny was the most pitiful. For family's benefit, Romeo and Juliet is pacing back and forth, when having no way out, they chosen the extrication. Likes urging them to make great strides forward to the death, the sentiment urged that was full they to abandon the family to arrive at the same place, the enmity has actually been doomed their destiny repulsing, behind the painful has too many unaided. Romeo and Juliet's story is not only a play, it certainly was also at that time the real life the portrayal, too many too many involuntary, innumerable had no alternative, this was love takes to the memory which the people remembered with eternal gratitude.
Love is the thing which the underage child guardian most abstained from, love is the thing which the youth men and women most want to have, love is the old prestige in old age when the partner feels grateful thing. It is playing many roles, it may be the tragedy direction may also be the comedy moving spirit; It may be the toxicant may also be the honey, nobody can trace passes it. Once jumps in love the trap is similar to the string arrow also cannot receive again, is only flies tenaciously toward own goal, does not pay attention to the distance, passes through the air very straightly, finally falls to the ground. After the landing, has two kind of possibilities: One kind arrived at the goal perfectly, another kind was because of certain reasons, has broken off the wing ......
Very obvious, Romeo and the Juliet's arrow of love is folded the smashing, the destroyer strength is formidable is similar to may break out the pine and cypress the thunder and lightning. Do not think that the firm love can be long-time, once it harms in third party's benefit, then this section of sentiments will certainly to receive the danger which is compelled to break up. No matter they to be whether innocent, no matter how they do revolt, this story's background has made the upholstery for theirs result. They are pitiful? Perhaps, because they have not been able to defend old, but is the young person prime of life dies young, perhaps is not, because they sought belonged to their other half finally.
A happy story's result, usually comes to an end by the comedy, the reader looked no doubt happily, may look at later several days to forget. If a story by tragedy ending, then it certainly will leave behind anything at heart in the reader, perhaps regretted that perhaps was a pity, will let the reader chew repeatedly, ponder. The human are the pursue are perfect. Meanwhile, the people also extol the incomplete beauty, this is as if very contradictory, but not as if is not contradictory.
"Romeo And Juliet" are the tragedy, is similar to, it which above me writes in me at heart has left behind anything, I also do not talk clearly, perhaps is the regret ....
"The Merchant of Venice"
Rarely has The Merchant of Venice, one of Shakespeare's most complex plays.In a decadent version of renaissance Venice, a young nobleman named Bassanio seeks to woo the lovely Portia , but lacks the money to travel to her estate. He seeks support from his friend, the merchant Antonio ; Antonio's fortune is tied up in sea ventures, so the merchant offers to borrow money from a Jewish moneylender, Shylock . But Shylock holds a grudge against Antonio, who has routinely treated the Jew with contempt, and demands that if the debt is not repaid in three months, the price will be a pound of Antonio's flesh.
The Merchant of Venice is famous as a "problem play"--the gritty matters of moneylending and anti-Semitism sit uncomfortably beside the fairy tale elements of Portia and Bassanio's romance, and some twists of the plot can seem arbitrary or even cruel. The strength of Radford's intelligent and passionate interpretation is that he and the excellent cast invest the play's opposing facets with full emotional weight, thus making every question the play raises acute and inescapable. Irons is particularly compelling; kindness and blind prejudice sit side by side in his breast, rendering the clashes in his character as vivid as those in the play itself.

我最喜欢的名著是《小公主》，它的作者是白涅德夫人。白涅德[（Frances Hodgson Burnett）1849—1924]曾被誉为美国最好的女作家之一。她一八四九年生于英国，四岁时父亲不幸去世，家里也变得一无所有。此后，她与母亲相依为命历尽艰辛，辗转到美国。白涅德夫人自身的经历让她对生活的艰辛有着深刻的体会。同时，对幸福的生活也有着强烈的向往。几乎在白涅德夫人所有的书中，自始自终萦绕着一种善良、美好的氛围，散发着人性的光芒。白涅德夫人一生都勤奋写作，不仅是位颇有才气的儿童文学作家，而且还是位卓有成就的剧作家和多产的小说家。她一生著作五十多部小说与故事集。她的作品题材广泛，构思巧妙，代表作有《小公主》、《秘密花园》、《小公子》、《高尚的夫人》等。她的书中常常流露出感伤、浪漫的色彩。而主人公往往都能在残酷的现实考验下，以自信、乐观的生活态度坦然面对，能够为了既定的目标勇往直前，百折不挠。而其中的情节往往充满情趣和人性的光明与温暖。
我从会读书到现在，已经读过了白涅德夫人的好几部作品，尤其是《小公主》我已经不知读了多少遍，可每重读一次，都有一种无限的趣味和新鲜的感觉。
本故事的主角撒拉•库尔，是一位富有的千金小姐，一位驻印度英国军官女儿。她具有崇高的品德、纯真而仁慈的心肠，行为和风度都像童话中的公主一般。可怜的撒拉自幼便死了母亲，由父亲一手把她养大。在她七岁的时候，她的父亲莱福•库尔为了让她接受更好的教育，于是花了大笔的钱让撒拉到英国一所“明贞女子模范学校”学习。
可没想到明贞校长竟是一个虚荣心极强 ，见钱眼开的女人。那里的女孩子们大多爱慕虚荣，嫉妒心极强。老师对待学生的态度是由学生家里的经济状况决定的。因为撒拉父亲的挥金如土，学校的校长和老师对撒拉百般疼爱，但是却遭到了许多富家女学生的强烈嫉妒和排斥。
尽管很多同学不喜欢撒拉，但她还是善意地对待每一个人，因此她也交下了不少朋友，像亚美、乐蒂、蓓琪等。有人挖苦撒拉叫她“公主”，也有人喜爱撒拉叫她“公主”，久而久之，撒拉渐渐觉得自己好像是真的公主了。在学校，明贞校长为了表现她多么喜爱撒拉，所以对她确实是千般宠爱，并且为她花费了很多钱。虽然心里非常心痛，但一想到撒拉父亲将来必定的补偿，便觉得一切都值得了。
天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福，就在大家庆祝撒拉十一岁生日的时候，远方传来消息，撒拉的父亲在采钻石矿的时候被一个朋友骗了，而且得了热病，已经去世了，并已宣告破产---没有给撒拉留下一分钱。明贞校长气得差点昏过去，马上命令撒拉和其他女仆住在一起。从此撒拉过着女佣一般的生活，受尽欺凌。这些遭遇使她开始逐渐地洞澈人情冷暖。但她始终真诚待人，乐观面对一切的苦痛。她的善良、高贵以及点石成金般使人赞叹的想象力，使得她不论身处何地，最终都受到了人们的尊重与喜爱，就像一位真正的公主。最后他父亲的朋友找到了她，原来钻石矿不但没有失败，反而大获成功，一切只是一场误会。就这样，撒拉丢失的幸福又重新被找了回来。
在现实生活中，我们的周围有很多面临各种困境的孩子，有的家里极端贫困，有的身患重病，还有的对学习完全失去兴趣…虽然大家也都懂得：经历一番风雨后会有彩虹，但有很多人遇到困难后，便一撅不振，再也不想爬起来。而撒拉却能以坚忍不拔的意志和勇气，始终保持一贯的态度，勇敢乐观地走下去，我们为什么不能呢？我们要是遇到困难，就应该想一想撒拉，想想她所经历的所有的艰难困苦和她在这些困难面前的自信、乐观和永不低头的态度，难道我们还会遇到比她所经历的更困难的事么？
就拿我自己来说吧，我从小在家里就娇生惯养，家里从来没有什么事需要我来操心，所以我干什么都能推就推，能拖就拖，遇到困难马上就想找父母解决，很少想过为父母分忧，为自己负责。心里一直对我自己这样说：“没事，天塌下来还有爸妈顶着呢！”
再比如说我们班有些的同学，见爸妈来接了，把书包向他们一扔，也搞不清到底是谁刚刚上完学;回到家，父母去做饭，自己做完作业，就往沙发上一靠，看起了电视；吃完了饭，爸爸妈妈去洗碗，收拾屋子，自己坐在电脑前玩起了游戏；有时父母说他们几句，他们就和家长顶嘴。我相信如果我们碰上像撒拉这样的事，一定很难像她那样勇敢面对。
所以，看了这本书之后，我感触很深：人的一生怎么可能永远是一帆风顺呢？如果我们现在不多多锻炼并磨练自己，如果以后遇到挫折该怎么办呢？自信、乐观、宽容、豁达，得意时不骄傲，失意时不气馁；笑对人生，把快乐带给自己，也带给身边的每一个人。为自己所设定的目标，坚持不懈，努力奋斗，相信没有不能跨越的障碍！---这就是我在这本书里学到的

小公主英文读后感
Every Girl Can Be A Princess
Every girl can be a princess, even though she lives in a low attic, even though she is in shabby clothes, even though she is not beautiful, nevertheless, she can be a real princess at heart.
