　　瓦尔登湖的英语读后感篇二

　　ＷhenＨenryＤavidＴhoreau（1817⑴862）setoutfortheＷaldenwoodsinＭassachusettsonＩndependenceＤay,1845,theＵnitedＳtateswasstillayoungnation.Ｔhebookthathepublishedin1854,Ｗalden,isbaseduponhisexperiencesasayouth.

　　1845年美国独立日那天，亨利·戴维·梭罗出发前往位于马萨诸塞州的瓦尔登湖畔的树林，那时美国还是一个年轻的国家。

1854年出版的《瓦尔登湖》，即是他基于自己年轻时的经历所著。

　　Ｔheyoungdon’tyetknowhowtolive.Ｔheymustexperiencetheworldandreflectupontheirexperiencesinordertogainknowledge.Ｔhesameistrueofanation.Ｔhebook’sstatusasaclassicshowsthatwhatＴhoreauhadtosayechoedinthesoulsofotherＡmericans.

　　年轻人还不懂得如何生活。

为了获取知识，他们必须感受这个世界并反思本身经历。

一个国家也是如此。

这本书的经典之处就在于梭罗书中所言在其他美国人的心中产生了共鸣。

　　Ａndit’snotjusthisfellowcountrymenwhorelatetothestory–Ｗaldenisreadallovertheworld.Ｉfitcanbeenjoyedbynon-Ａmericans,thisisbecauseＴhoreausetouttofindwhatthebasicprinciplesoflifeare,nomatterwherewe’refrom.Ｗemaynotagreewithhisanswers,butweidentifywithhisquestformeaning.ＴhisisprobablywhyＷaldenisstilllovedbysomanypeople,even200yearsafterＴhoreau’sbirth,theanniversaryofwhichwillfallonＪuly12thisyear.

　　不单单是他的同胞和这个故事息息相关——《瓦尔登湖》在世界各地都广泛流传。

假如美国之外的读者也喜欢这本书，那是因为梭罗是从寻找人生真理出发的，不管我们来自于何处。

我们或许其实不赞同他的答案，但我们和他对于生活意义的追求是一致的。

这或许即是《瓦尔登湖》在梭罗诞生200年后仍然深受喜欢的原因。

今年的7月12日，梭罗将迎来诞辰200周年。

　　Ｔhoreaulookedaroundhimandsawthebeginningsofindustrialismandfounditugly.Ｈedislikedthefactoriesandhedislikedwhattheyproduced.Ｈeobjectedtoconsumerism,suspectingthatittookpeopleawayfromtheirrealconcerns.Ｍenandwomenlivedlivesof“quietdesperation”becausemodernlifewasleadingthemastray.

　　梭罗环视周遭，目睹了工业主义的开端并发现了其丑恶之处。

他其实不喜欢工厂，也不喜欢它们生产的东西。

他回绝消费主义，疑心它会将人们带离他们真正关心的事情。

男男女女都生活在“沉寂的绝望”之中，因为现代生活将他们引入歧途。

　　ＩnＷalden,hewouldfindwhathehopedwasreally“essential”.Ａshewritesnearthebeginningofthebook,“ＩwenttothewoodsbecauseＩwishedtolivedeliberately,tofrontonlytheessentialfactsoflife,andseeifＩcouldnotlearnwhatithadtoteach,andnot,whenＩcametodie,discoverthatＩhadnotlived.”Ｔhisisthemajorthemeofthebook.Ｈehopednaturecouldbehisguideandhisteacher.

　　在《瓦尔登湖》一书中，他发现自己所希望之事确实十分“基本”。

正如他在该书开篇所写“我到林中去，因为我希望慎重地生活，只面对生活的基本事实，看看我是否学得到生活要教育我的东西，免得到了临终之时，才发现我根本就没有生活过。

”这是该书的重要主习题。

他希望自然能够成为他的向导和教师。

　　ＷeshouldnotthinkthatＴhoreauwassimplywithdrawingfromtheworld.Ｈedidn’tgotoＷaldenonlytostareintothesurfaceoflakesandobservewildlife.Ｈewenttherebecausehewasdisgustedbymoderncivilization.Ｉronically,someofthepeoplethatＴhoreaumetaroundＷaldenwantedtheoppositetohim.Ｉfhewantedtoescapefromcivilization,theywantedtogetoutofnatureandleaveitforamoreexcitingexistenceinthetown.

　　我们不该认为梭罗只是在逃避现实世界。

他前往瓦尔登湖，不单单是为了凝视湖面，观察野生动物。

他去那儿是因为他对现代文明感到腻烦。

挖苦的是，梭罗在瓦尔登湖四周遇到的一些人和他的想法恰恰相反。

假如说，梭罗想要的是逃离文明社会，那么这些人想要
