百万英镑英文读后感范文 第一篇

This time I want to talk about a very famous short story written by Mark Twain---------“The Million Pound Note”. Referring to Mark Twain, you must feel familiar, because we must have read his works before. I still remember the article“The Bite Events on the Train”in our textbook when I’m in the middle school. What touched me most at that time were his ironic words. Yes, he is a great humorist, novelist, writer and orator in America in nineteenth century. During his 40 years’ writing career, he created dozens of short or long stories.

This story tells about a poor but honest American Adam Henry. When he was wandering in the street of London, he was given by two billionaires a letter, in which he surprisedly found a￡1,000,000 pound bank-note. Later he got to know that the two billionaires who were brothers had made a bet about the results after he got a one million-pound note at once. One of them thought the note wound count for nothing to the poor man because he could not prove that the money was his own while the other considered just as the opposite.

Dramatically, the plot went just out of my expectation. Herry went to a restaurant to have dinner first. The manager was mean to him at the beginning but his attitude changed quickly when Herry took out the note and asked for change. Faced with a millionaire, the manager apologized again and again and obsequiously told Herry that he didn’t need to pay for the bill right now. So Herry managed to have a free dinner. Then similarly, Herry went to a clothing shop and got a suit of clothes costing him nothing.

Like the plot above, people are curious of such a rich man and tried every means to cozy up to him, from free food，free clothes to free accommodation. At the same time, his social status was becoming higher and higher and finally higher than most dukes. Apart from that, he later got a beautiful wife and 200,000 pounds of bank interest. I can imagine a bright future was waiting for him.

The writing style of this story is so humorous. Mark Twain used hyperbole describing how our hero defeated snobbishness repeatedly. What I appreciate most is the detailed description of different people’s ridiculous actions before one million pounds, vivid, funny, ironic and humorous, which forms a Caricature.

In terms of the theme, it is apparent that the author wanted to denounce the overflowing mammonism in the society. Even now it gives us an impressive lesson. Yes, I cannot deny the importance of money to a person who wants to survive. We won’t live without money, with which we get food, clothes, house and many other necessities. But we must know that there are many things which can’t be bought with money such as love or friendship. So in my opinion, money may be important to us, but not the most important. We need to build up the correct sense of money.

To sum up, this story is a really good work of Mark Twain. The lesson I’ve learnt from it makes me want to be an honest man sincerely and lets me not to worship money too much. I begin to regret not reading it earlier.

Based on Mark Twains novel, The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost.

Interestingly, The Millionaire also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were welcomed as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that hes an outsider either makes him more appealing or the complete opposite. The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society.

The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith, as Pecks sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.

Worship of money is shameful, and something for nothing we should not! Money is not a panacea, in the world there are many more important things than money .

Mark Twain"s short story with one million pounds is a very good work. Article on the money is everything Money is omnipotent, the ideas of irony, exposed the ugly face of capitalist society.

Millions of pounds refers to a poor, honest man, that is, the hero of this story has received a pair of brothers, a letter which gave him one million pounds. It turns out that the brothers played a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest man knocking on the door of one million pounds received, he will be what results?

The guy put on a very mean face and said, "ah, really? Well, of course, I didn't expect you to have any change. I think a rich man like you will only bring big bills. " This made me angry, so I said, "my friend, don't judge a stranger by his clothes and hats alone. I can afford this suit, but I don't want to embarrass you. I'm afraid you can't change a big bill

This is the highlight of the million pounds. At that time, the shop assistant scorned and ridiculed the tramp Adams, and then saw the surprise expression of a million pounds, which was described by the author. I was deeply attracted by the humorous story.

This book is the classic of Mark Twain of America. The book tells about a clerk of a mining agent who lost his way in sailing a yacht too far away. He was rescued by a double masted sailing ship bound for London, and used it as a sailor to pay for his journey. After arriving in London, he was still penniless. At this time, an old gentleman, calling him and giving him a letter, told him to leave (liuxuue86. Com). He came to a small restaurant and opened the letter. He was almost stunned by the contents of the letter! There was a one million pound note in it! So, overnight, he became a household name. In London, everyone knew him. At a dinner party, he fell in love with an English girl named Portia longham and married her. After that, he knew that the old gentleman who gave him money was her adoptive father. At his wedding ceremony with Portia, the old gentleman gave him the one million pound note as a gift, and he also found a good job.

This book satirizes some people who can't resist the temptation of money. They think that money is omnipotent. In reality, I think money is absolutely not omnipotent. The theory of money omnipotence is very wrong. Money can buy a bed, but not sleep; money can buy food, but not taste; money can buy books, but not knowledge Money can really satisfy people's vanity, but these are all false, and the most real thing is people's magnanimous life. Like Adams, he lost his money, but he still lives an optimistic life. What we need to do is to treat our life with a calm heart. We should strive for our own life by ourselves. There is no free lunch in the world, only the hardworking people will have harvest. Even if you're rich, it's not sure you'll get everything you want.

Today, I read a million pounds, almost finished with a smile. Mark Twain's writing is very humorous, and uses exaggeration to describe the hero's "killing the snobbish eye with a million dollar bill" again and again. In his cartoon style, he depicts the various ugliness of different characters in front of "million pounds", which is humorous, funny and full of interest. It is just like a caricature of the world, which vividly shows what the common people see and hear, which makes people laugh.

"Million pounds" describes an American living in London, Henry Adam, lost for some reason, was rescued by a ship, and then came to London with the ship. He was penniless and lonely. His two rich brothers lent him a check for a million pounds and made a bet on his survival if he didn't cash the check for one million pounds in 30 days.

He went to the restaurant to eat first, and the boss was very mean to him first, and then, when he "carefully said," please change. " The boss returned to normal and repeatedly apologized that he couldn't find the big ticket. No matter what I said, he didn't take it. He wanted to see it. He looked at the big ticket. It seemed that he could not satisfy his eyes, but he was afraid to touch it. It was as if ordinary people would lose their life when they took the immortal spirit on the ticket. I said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I have to do something about it. Change, please. I have no other tickets with me

He said that it doesn't matter. I'll talk about it later. I said, I won't be here again for a while; but he said it doesn't matter, he can wait, and besides, I can come whenever I want, and I can settle the account whenever I want. " I can't help but laugh at this, and I can't help but despise the shopkeeper in the eyes of power.

After that, Henry went to the clothing store to buy clothes, but he was often blinded. When he took out a million dollar bill, he took it with a smile. It was the ubiquitous smile, with wrinkles and folds in it. It was like throwing a brick into a pool of water; But at a glance at the banknote, his smile froze and his face changed, like the undulating, insect like solidified lava you see on the ledges of Mount Vesuvius. I've never seen anyone's smiling face freeze into such an awkward situation. " At this time, the shopkeeper came with a flattering smile. "Sir, please take off these things and throw them into the fire. Please look forward to wearing this shirt and this suit; it's appropriate, too appropriate - simple, elegant, solemn, it's completely noble Look, here! It's amazing. I've never seen such a beautiful dress in my life You are holy, sir, holy; I dare say that this suit will last for a while Reading this, I can't help but sigh at people's snobbishness. The rich flatter the rich and roll their eyes when they see the poor. What an unequal society

Mark Twain emphatically exposed the money worship of the society at that time, money! Became the standard to measure everything! These plots are ridiculous, and they reflect people's snobbish eyes. I can't help but think that some doctors can do unnecessary examination for patients, take unnecessary medicine for patients, and make fake more serious than real! In the eyes of such doctors who have lost medical ethics and humanity, money is more valuable than life! This kind of behavior is worse than the phenomenon in million pounds! Recently, I saw a news that excellent students in high school entrance examination were impersonated If Yu Ding's father has money, he can make his children take the place of others, not only by scores, but also by name, identity and household registration It's all replaced. For more than ten years, the victim has been reduced to a black family to work outside. Because he is bullied, the other is educated and paid

Mark Twain's short story million pounds is a good work. The article satirizes the idea that "money is everything" and "money is omnipotent". In fact, there are many things more precious than money in the world: morality, friendship and honesty. So I think, between money and conscience, morality, we can make the right choice!
