《老人與海》英語讀后感范文一：
Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.
The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.
In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

讀《老人與海》有感
讀了美國著名作家海明威的小說《老人與海》。我十分佩服小說中老漁夫的意志，他讓我懂得了一個人一定要有堅持不懈的精神，才能獲得成功。
小說描寫的是一個年近六旬的老漁夫，在一次單身出海打魚時，釣到了一條大魚，卻拉不上來。老漁夫同魚周旋了幾天后，才發現這是一條超過自己漁船數倍的大馬林魚，雖然明知很難取勝，但仍不放棄。后來又因大馬林魚傷口上的魚腥味引來了幾群鯊魚搶食，但老人仍不愿就這樣放棄，最終突出重圍，將大魚帶回了漁港，讓其他漁夫佩服不已。
當我讀到“老漁夫想：這里離海岸實在是太近了，也許在更遠的地方會有更大的魚……”時，我十分佩服這位老漁夫，因為他這時已經打到了一些魚，但他沒有安于現狀，而是向著更大的目標前進。再看看我們，平時遇到一點小困難，我們都叫苦連天。我們是祖國的未來，應該像這位老人一樣胸懷大志，去追求更好、更大的目標。
當我讀到“大馬林魚開始快速地圍著小漁船游動，將纜繩纏繞到了桅桿上，老人右手高舉著鋼叉，在它躍出水面的一瞬間，竭盡全力地向它的心臟擲去，一聲哀鳴結束了大魚的生命，它靜靜地浮在水面上……”時，我的心也像一塊大石頭落了地。我非常欽佩老人那種毫不畏懼、堅持不懈的精神，雖然知道對手實力很強，但他沒有絲毫退縮，而是迎難而上。正因為有了這種精神，老漁夫才獲得了這場生死較量的勝利。我們在生活中也要學習老漁夫的精神，做事情不怕困難，才能取得成功。
在讀到大魚的血腥味被一群鯊魚嗅到了，爭相游來搶食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，用木棒、捕到的劍魚的嘴等一切可以用來攻擊的武器自衛，并最終趕走了這群鯊魚。但大魚的肉已經被吃了一大半，而老人還風趣地批評自己的左手“該工作的時候卻在休息”的時候，我也被老人樂觀的精神所折服。在生活中，有些損失是不可避免的，我們應該以樂觀的態度來對待，不能斤斤計較。
最后，小說以一個少年看到老漁夫在度量足有十八英尺長的大馬林魚，再次描寫了這條魚的巨大，說明老漁夫所克服的困難之大，非比尋常。
小說歌頌了老漁夫不畏艱險努力奮斗的精神，我們也應該像他那樣，不能滿足于現狀，應該積極向上，做任何事都要堅持不懈，遇到困難要迎難而上，決不能半途而廢。只有這樣，我們才能獲得更大的成功和勝利。
