百万英镑英语读后感第1篇
I knew Mark Twain when i was a middle school student. In my memory, there is an article in my English textbook that written by him. At that time, I pay no attention to Mark Twain. However, i knew more about him after I learned the History and Anthology of American Literature, he appeals to me dearly and deeply. As a result, I read a part of his novels in part time. Here I will introduce Million Pounds to you. Before that, I will give some information about Mark Twain to you. And last, it comes my though.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens （November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910） was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer, better known by the pen name Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri and brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his fathers death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brothers newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, Mark Twain was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym. He often uses exaggerated ways to show his irony.
Mark Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his life, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and European royalty. For I love the One Million Pounds Note best, I would introduce it to you.
Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kind of “free lunch” strikes the poor and honest young man Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers （Roderick & Oliver）。 As a matter of fact, the brothers had made a bet, if a poor, honest and clever people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, what will be happening to his life? The elder brother think that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money belongs to him, will be arousing others suspicion,and even the banks do not let him deposit the money. On the contrary, the younger brother believes that he would live in a very good life. So the brothers lend the one million pounds to Henry Adams, and spent 30 days abroad. From then on, Henry Adams becomes a bright focus of the money-priority society. Later, the lucky young man experiences two sharply different treatments in the tailor shop. In the ball, people from every social class try every chance to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Adams never has the chance to spend a penny because no one can change the million and he is soon living in a luxurious hotel suite, wearing expensive suits. No one asks him to pay bill, these are forwarded for later payment. He even gets the chance to go to the Party that held by Duke. Fortunately, Henry meets Jane Griffiths and fall in love with this beautiful woman. He also comes across his good friend. The man gives him some advice to earn money. 30 days has passed, Henry Adams asks his girlfriend company him to meet the brothers. Out of his expectation, his girlfriend is the daughter of one of the brothers. And finally he got a very good job from the brother. And he lived a very happy life.
Mark Twains short story of “one million pounds note” is a very good work. The article satires the thoughts of “money is everything,” “money is omnipotent,” and expose the ugly face of capitalist society. As we all know, the root of the story was the bet of the brothers. What is the bet actually? Where does the attraction of the bank note lie in?
As far as i am concerned, the One Million Pounds Note takes an interesting, satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The novel shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when 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. The story was based on 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 novel from being a mockery of the British society. The love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.
In my heart, Herry was so luckily, not everyone can get the chance to use the million. I am so envious of the “lucky” of the heroine, but at the same time I would like to think that the reason why people carry favor with him is just that they attract too much important to money, isnt it? Money worship is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, and in the world, there are many things that more important than money.

Ive realized people for the money, try very hard to bring one person, to the bow, and all aspects from obedience to him and arranged everything in place, just for the money. To have no money people, rude, arrogant to the rich people, honestly.
It makes me feel very angry, everything should be equal, and these people have only value money, as long as the rich man will treat him very well, but have no money will be arrogant rude. Everyone is equal the reasonable use where go to?
In our life, but also often have such a thing, everyone cried out, should be equal, but see the rich man, but the lack of one by one all, just want to get more money, earn a little more, I dont think this is a very vital qi, I hope everyone can, put the correct injustices in the city!
这个暑期中，我读了《百万英镑》这本书，我懂得了虽然钱不是万能的，但这钱却会让许多人对有钱人点头哈腰，他们为了这张英镑，拼命地拉拢故事的主人公——亨利·亚当斯，为了这张英镑，从对亨利傲慢无礼一下子转变为了对他点头哈腰，这种行为是非常可耻的。
这个故事讲述了主人公无意中不小心漂泊到了伦敦，伦敦的两位富翁兄弟打了一个赌。哥哥认为如果给他一张百万元的英镑，30天后他会因为无法证明这些钱是自己的而饿死，而弟弟却认为他会活得很好。于是他们就把一张百万英镑给了亨利，自己两人出国旅游了30天。回来后得知亨利因为那张百万英镑被所有人追捧，想拉拢他，几乎所有东西都让他免费买下。并因为这张英镑不断提高社会地位，最后到了除王室外的最高地位公爵之位，还娶到了一个漂亮的老婆，得到了三万元的银行利息。又从兄弟那儿得到了很好的工作，过上了幸福的生活。
我从中体会到了人们会为了钱，拼命拉拢莫个人，对这个人点头哈腰，以及对他从各个方面都顺从和安排得事事到位，就只是为了钱。对没钱的人高傲无礼，对有钱的人低声下气，老老实实。
这使我感到很愤怒，凡事都应该人人平等，而这些人却只看重钱，只要有钱人都会把他招待得很好，可遇到没钱的就会高傲无礼。这人人平等的道理用到哪里去了？
在我们生活中，也经常有这样的事，大家都喊着应该人人平等，但看到有钱人，却缺一个个都低声下气，只想多拿些钱，多赚一点，我认为这是很不正气的表现，希望大家都能一起，把城市中的不正之风改过来！

Based on Mark Twains novel, The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the 50s 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.
