英文电影:阿甘正传观后感(中英文对照) 阿甘有自己的坚持,他不断地跑步,JUST RUNS. 他跑步不为任何理由。他说:"人要裤山往前看,千万不要被过去拖累。我想我跑步就是这个意义”和过去告别,不停留在原处。也许这世界上太多人随拨逐流,很少人会坚持做一件事,阿甘坚持自己的坚持,于是他成漏纯脊了“神”。影片中还有一位主要人物是上校丹。他在越南战争中失去了双腿。他说他的命运就是战死。然而阿甘却救他,让他活了下来。失去双腿后他开始憎恨生活,生活得很颓废,责怪阿甘当初救了他。然而当他调整心态,去和阿甘一起捕鱼生活,有了收获后,开始感觉到生活的美好。感谢阿甘当初就了他。影片试图通过这个角色告返渗诉观者生活总是美好的。乌云后有彩虹,绝境后有重生。关键是看我们给不给自己一个好心态,一个机会去改变不好的现状。影片试图向观者传达这样一个信息:或许做好我们该做的每一件事,生活就会给我们一个好的回馈。只要有一种坚持就会出现一个奇迹。 Mr. A Gan has his own perseverance, keeping on running without of any reason, JUST RUNS. He said: “Man has t look forward, and never encumbered by foretime. I thank that's the meaning of my running.” Say goodbye to foretime and don't stay in-place. Although so many people in the world are used to follow others and few people can stick to one thing, Mr. A Gan does and bees “GOD”. There is another character Captain Dan. Dan lost his legs in Vietnarm War. He said that his fate is death in war. However, Mr. A Gan saved him and let him be alive. After losing legs, Dan was decadent and disgusted with life, plaining that A Gan shouldn't save him. When he adjusted his mind, living on fishing with A Gan, he started to enjoy the wonderful life and thank A Gan's help. The movie is intended to tell people that life is wonderful by this character. Rainbow is always after cloud. The key point is that whether we have a good mind and an opportunity to ourselves to change bad situation. The movie is also sent such a message to us: do well what we should do, and life will return us well. There will be a miracle if only there is perseverance. 超人(super man)Today I go to see a movie ,and the name is Super Man.In this movie the man have very big power and his dream is to protect everyone who is in trouble.That movie teaches us that the life is not as bad as most people feel and don't give up no matter what happens.There is always someone who can help you as if you insist. can shouldnt save him 一篇英语观后感50字带翻译。不要太难。初一好吧

㈤ 英语电影的读后感
童话就在身边——观《曼哈顿奇缘》有感
《曼哈顿奇缘》——老早就想看的电影了,只不过一直没有时间,前两天终于在凌晨时坐在电脑前看完了。多么具有童话色彩,但结局却大大出乎我的意料,王子带着现实世界的女孩回到了童话里,而公主却留在了现实中。不过还好,他们两最终在不同的世界里都找到了自己的真爱。
本来以为自己已经很大了,不会再被这些不切实际的童话故事所欺骗,但没想到还是会被打动。不要只把现实放在眼中,有时候不切实际地幻想一下也未尝不可。虽然不是现实,但总能给你但来些许快乐。况且,总会有奇迹发生的时候。就像电影里一样,Robert最终还是相信了童话里的true love`s kiss,也相信了真爱。
随着年龄的增长,我们变得越来越现实,对于那些虚幻的童话,可能只停留在童年记忆的某个角落里。但为什么不去试着相信童话,相信奇迹呢?不要因为长大而变得太实际,就像电影里的小Morgan一样,永远用天真的双眼观察世界,用纯洁的心灵温暖世界,用简单的行动感动世界,也许奇迹就真的会降临在我们身上。
如果每个大人都像童话故事中的人一样简单,善就是善,恶就是恶,没有复杂的勾心斗角,也许每个故事的结局就都会变得简单而美好了。
童话并不只属于孩子们,年龄渐长,回过头看看儿时读过的童话故事,你会发现,其实奇迹已经发生在了我们生活的点点滴滴之中。
㈥ 电影《幸福终点站》的英文剧情简介和英文读后感
简介:Viktor Navorski, a man from an Eastern European country arrives in New York. However after he left his country war broke out.
Suddenly Navorski is a man without a country - or one that the U.S. cannot recognize, thus he is denied entrance to the U.S. However, he also can't be deported so he is told by the Security Manager that he has to remain in the airport until his status can be fixed.
And also Navorski doesn't speak English very well, so he cannot talk to or understand anyone.
来自东欧国家的维克多·纳沃斯基抵达纽约。然而,在他离开他的国家后,战争爆发了。突然间,纳沃斯基成了一个没有国家的人——或者说是一个美国无法识别的国家,因此他被拒绝进入美国。
然而,他也不能被驱逐出境,所以安全经理告诉他,在他的身份确定之前,他必须留在机场。而且纳沃斯基英语说得不太好,所以他无法与任何人交谈或理解任何人。
读后感:In the film Frank Dixon asks Viktor” everyone is afraid, why are you not? For example, do you, at this time, have any fear of returning to your own country?” Viktor says, “No, it is my home, I am not afraid of my home.”
And so Viktor has to live in the airport. Later, when the civil war ends, Viktor renews his country’s nationality. It is not too uncomfortable to live in an airport because the many people around him have warm hearts.
在电影中,弗兰克·迪克森问维克多:“每个人都害怕,你为什么不害怕?”?例如,你现在害怕回到自己的国家吗?”维克多说,“不,这是我的家,我不怕我的家。”
因此维克多不得不住在机场。后来,当内战结束时,维克多恢复了他的国家国籍。住在机场并不太不舒服,因为他周围的许多人都有一颗温暖的心。
英语翻译技巧:
第一、省略翻译法
这与最开始提到的增译法相反,就是要求你把不符合汉语,或者英语的表达的方式、思维的习惯或者语言的习惯的部分删去,以免使所翻译出的句子沉杂累赘。
第二、合并法
合并翻译法就是把多个短句子或者简单句合并到一起,形成一个复合句或者说复杂句,多出现在汉译英的题目里出现,比如最后会翻译成定语从句、状语从句、宾语从句等等。
㈦ 求电影 肖申克的救赎 英语读后感(字数不限)急急急!
第一篇Shawshank Redemption is a film co-operated by white people and black people. It told a story about the life in the prison.A man called Andy Dufresne, was sent into the prison, Shawshank, for he murderer his wife and her lover in bed. However, he was innocentas he said. The new days in the prison were hard to live. It’s violent, heartless and cruel. A month later, Andy began to make friendswith other prisoners. One of them called Red, who could get anything what he wanted. Andy bought a mallet from him and started his plan to escape. During this time, he did many things: expanding the library, caving stones, making tainted money for the prison governor, etc. It took him 20 years to tunnelsecretly and he successfully escaped from the prison. Before that, Andy had told his best friendRed that his dream---Zihuatanejo, a warm place without memory. After escaping, Andy lived a free life in another identity and made the prison governor arrested. Several years later, Red was approved to leave. He had lived inside for 40 years. He was institutionized. Sometimes he thought of getting back again as he didn’t belong the world, but he didn’t, for the promise to Andy. Finally, in Zihuyatanejo, they met.It is a good film. The cruel prison life terrified me and the friendship moved me. The story goes to a happy ending---redemption. 第二篇When I had finished watching the movie,I was excited and wanted to watch it again.Wheather the figures and details or the spirit that the music conveyed to."Hope is dangerous" Red had ever said,But Andy has always sticked to it.He didn’t cry when he was thrown into prison though he was innocent. On contrary, he found ways to kill long time to escape. He helped the head of the prison do the illegal things in order to gain some freedom. He rebuilt a library and helped the other prisoners. All the prisoners liked him, for he helped them find hope again. Perhaps it was time to escape, in a lightening and thundering night, he escaped from the prison through the holehe had g for twenty years . He was free eventually .I like Andy ,for his talent and his wisedom . And the most important thing that I like is his spirit—never giving up.I have never seen such an amazing film since I saw The Shawshank Redemption. Shawshank encompasses friendships, hardships, hopes, and dreams. And what is so great about the movie is that it moves you, it gives you hope. Even though the circumstances between the characters and the viewers are quite different, you don't feel that far removed from what the characters are going through.
It is a simple film, yet it has an everlasting message. Frank Darabont didn't need to put any kind of outlandish special effects to get us to love this film, the narration and the acting does that for him. Why this movie didn't win all seven Oscars is beyond me, but don't let that sway you to not see this film, let its ranking on the IMDb's top 250 list sway you, let your friends recommendation about the movie sway you.
Set aside a little over two hours tonight and rent this movie. You will finally understand what everyone is talking about and you will understand why this is my all time favorite movie.
二、《肖申克的救赎》的影评
The story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. Not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; but also for the jail gnawed at people’ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could survive. That’s where the story happened.
The part impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky. Under the light, I could feel my recreant innermost being shivering as his voice said: “Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”
That’s why I like this film: it encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important is to keep hope forever. He once that is born, that is die. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough. The faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark, the hope is the chief happiness that this world affords, and the life should be full of the singing of the bird and the happiness hope brings. " What’s that do you think? It’s the trembling of the heart, the singing of the mind, the flying of the soul and the hope to be free.”
这个故事也许看似简单,但是其中的道理却是发人深思的。我第一次听到这电影的名字时,曾以为“肖申克”是个人名,但事实上它是一所监狱的名字--鲨堡。说它是人间地狱,不仅那里狱卒残暴,狱霸横行,而且它还侵蚀着人的心灵。生命在漫漫无期的等待中消逝,似乎只有那些行尸走肉般放弃了所有的人才能够活下去。
这就是故事的开始。最让我感动的是安迪逃出牢狱时候的情景。大雨滂沱之中他伸出手臂似乎在迎接新鲜空气和自由。此刻,我看见自信战胜了黑暗,其光芒照亮了深蓝天空中的眼睛。在此光辉下,我可以感觉到自己那颗怯懦的心在颤抖,似乎在说:记住,希望是好东西,也许是人间至善,而美好的东西永远不会消逝。
它激励人们为人类的尊严而斗争,为生命的美丽而感恩,最重要的是它让我们永怀希望。这就是我喜欢这部电影的原因。
有出生,就会有死亡,人人均是如此。唯一不同的是--忙着活,还是劳碌死。电影告诉我们,虽然人只能活一次,但是如果带着信心和希望好好地活,一次也就足够了。信心就像在黎明前看到曙光的鸟,而希望则是这个世界给我们的最重要的礼物,生命应该充满鸟儿的歌声和希望带来的快乐。
你认为如何你呢?我想这是心房的跳舞,思想的歌唱,灵魂的翱翔,以及对自由的渴望。
三、Have you ever known a famous experiment of the flea? In my point of view, I think it has
some commons with the film Shawshank Redemption.
First I'd like to introce the experiment. It was an experiment about the flea. A zoologist
put some fleas in a glass cylinder,then used a piece of glass to cover it. At first every flea did
all it can in jumping. It must be painful.So after several times,they jumped a little lower,in case
of knocking the glass.After three days,when the zoologist took off the glass,he found that no
flea would jump out of the glass cylinder.Why? Because they got used to jump gently.
We can find the glass is a visible prison to the fleas,but they build an invisible prison for
themselves after three days.
The same with the film,the characters like the fleas in a visible prison which is called Shawshank.
There are three characters made a deep impression on me. They are Andy 、 Red and Brooks.
Though they are the same in the visible prison,they are different .The difference
between them is whether there located an invisible prison in their heart.
Brooks who lives in the Shawshank for fifty years.He likes the flea in the experiment,when
he gets the chance to leave Shanwshank, he chooses to threaten his mates in order to stay in Shanwshank.
But he fails,his only hope is broken.During the fifty years,he builds an invisible prison for himself.
I remember the first time I watched this film was in my senior high school,and I still remember
that I cried hard when I saw Brooks hung himself.At that time I thought it's the fault of the
society,but now I think it's the fault of the invisible prison.Red's words proves my point:"Man's
been here fifty years. This place is all he knows. In here, he's an important man,
an ecated man. A librarian. Out there, he's nothing but a used up old con with
arthritis in both hands. Couldn't even get a library card if he applied. You see what
I'm saying?”“Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then
you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."”
It is the "institutionalized" put Brooks into the invisible prison.He has no hope in the
invisible prison,life becomes meaningless.He gets dying.
Red,is an man who can break his invisible prison.He is another kind of flea.
At first he likes Brooks,he build an invisible for himself.He told Andy that hope
is a dangerous thing,hope can drive a man insane,it's got no use the inside,you’d
better get used to that idea.At that time,he has already built the invisible prison
and broke his hope.He couldn't hack it on the outside.Been in here too long, he
is an institutional man now.Like old Brooks Hatlen was.In the prison he is the
guy who get it for the others.Out there, he wouldn't know where to begin. But
Andy's word influences him"get busy living,or get busy dying."At that time,Red
picks up his hope which breaks the invisible prison.When a man has the courage
to break the invisible one,let alone the visible one.At the end of film,Red get out
of the Shawshank and has a new life in the society with his hope! Red,may short
of the word"redemption",and he redeems himself.
Andy who is the hero in this film.And he is an amazing flea! There is no prison
in his mind.Shawshank is the visible prison which seems very sturdy .But he just uses
a small hammer to dig a hole,then he breaks the prison.19 years is a long time! But to Andy,his
hope supports him so that he can ignore the time! As the famous sentence goes hope can set
you free.I think another different between Andy and the others is that he never has an invisible
one in his heart.From the beginning to the end,he is free in his mind.That's why he can do what
the others cannot do! During the 19 years,he holds his hope,he still remember the hight which
he can reach.
The three man are three different kinds of fleas.The fleas tells us not to be prisoned in the invisible
prisons and remember hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever
dies.
We should set us free with our hopes!Let's break the invisible prison!

这个杀手不太冷
This film was absolutely amazing. I have spent hours re-watching various scenes and noticing all the perfection with which they are acted and directed. It's not the violence or action sequences that make this movie so great (although they are well done...), but rather moments like where Mathilda knocks on Leon's door. It would be so easy to just film the door opening, but instead we see light illuminating Natalie Portman's face, symbolizing something angelic. And the moment has so much more meaning.
I know a lot of people who have seen this film because they are action fans. I'm not. But I'm glad I finally found it, because it's a wonderful film in so many other ways.
哈利波特
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the eponymous adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his best friends. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world, after which he seeks to subjugate the Muggle (non-magical) world to his rule.
动画喜剧 海底总动员
Somewhere, under the sea, weak-finned clown fish Nemo (Alexander Gould) lives with his fretful father, Marlin (Albert Brooks). Smothered by pop's paranoia, he ventures away from the reef, but his dad's dread is justified when a passing diver whisks him away.
Taken to a tank in a Sydney dentists, Nemo meets Gill (Willem Dafoe) and co - friendly fish who dream of escaping to the ocean. Meanwhile, Marlin bumps into a blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), and sets out to save his son...
The splendour of natural history hit The Blue Planet is matched by the wit of the script and stars. Barry Humphries has a terrific cameo as a great white shark who's sworn off killing (Remember, fish are friends, not food!), while DeGeneres provides perfect timing and tone as Dory, whose short-term memory loss is a gag that never stops running

㈨ 求一篇英文电影的英文读后感
功夫熊猫 1
I still remember way back in 2005 when I first heard about Kung Fu Panda I thought it was a pathetic idea. My thoughts had to do with 2 things… the concept and using Jack Black. Both I thought were terrible ideas that seemed to me to lend themselves to yet another cookie cutter, annoying, cheap and witless animated film (non-pixar) that would just rely on fart jokes, burp jokes, fart jokes and basically any simple little thing it takes to amuse 10 year old kids (which is just about anything) without bother to put any quality story telling or themes or idea into it. Just have Jack Black talk in outrageous tones, flash some pretty colors and have Po (that’s the name of the Panda) fart.
Yes, I thought I could already see the entire movie playing itself out in my head just from hearing the concept alone. So off I went to see Kung Fu Panda the other day. Was I correct in my first impressions? Actually… no I wasn’t. It’s actually not a bad film at all.
“The most important element” in any film will vary according to its genre. For a film like Kung Fu Panda clearly the most important element it needed to pull off was comedy. If a film like this one doesn’t make you laugh… then there isn’t much left to fall back on. Thankfully the movie succeeds quite well on this level. I can’t recall any more than 1 hard belly laugh (usually a decent comedy needs much more than that), but it felt like it at least always had me smiling or giggling through the run time. Almost none of the joke were home runs… but then did all work. The end result was I found myself entertained almost all the way through.
Coming up with a good villain in a kids film is no easy task. The character has to be menacing, but at the same time you can’t give kids nightmarish visions and make them crap themselves. I mean come on… it’s Kung Fu Panda… you can’t exactly have Violator (from the Spawn comics) showing up can causing kids across the nation to spontaneously crap themselves in their theater seats… then requiring therapy for the next 3 years to make the nightmares go away! It is a fine and delicate balance… and the villain in Kung Fu Panda, Tai Lung, was PERFECT. He was certainly menacing… but at the same time easy enough for the kids to handle without needing pampers. I think the presence of such a villain really helped the film work.
Doing good action in an animated film is also no easy task. I mean, it’s easy enough to DO… just not so easy to do WELL. However, Kung Fu Panda and the folks at Dreamworks really did pull of some BEAUTIFUL animation with complex yet extremely smooth kung fu fighting that was a treat to watch. It was also a lot of fun seeing how each character had a totally different fighting style in keeping with which animal they were. I mean come on… how on earth do you animate a snake doing Kung Fu and have it look cool? Well… they found a way!
功夫熊猫2
Kung Fu Panda is an American animated comedy film released in 2008. After its release it is welcomed by most alts and children and receives very positive and favorable reviews. I think the film is trying to tell us that if you have a dream and hold on to it, you will be successful one day.
The movie is about a lazy, fat and clumsy panda called Po. He helps his goose father in his family noodle shop every day. And his father expects him to take over the shop and tell him the secret ingredient of making noodle soup. However, Po is fanatic of Chinese Kung Fu and is always dreaming to become a Kung Fu fighter.
Everyone is surprised to find the result but they have to accept the reality. Eventually Shifu takes sage advice from Oogway and begins to teach Po martial arts. Po is carefully prepared to fight. But is Tai Lung defeated in the end by the panda? I urge you to find out the result on your own.
In my opinion, the most impressive part of the movie is the sacred Dragon Scroll and the secret ingredient of making noodle soup. When Po is ready to open the sacred Dragon Scroll, which promises great power to its possessor, he finds nothing but blank. He was in despair and everyone is shocked and desperate. So Shifu has to order his students to lead the villagers to safety while he stays to delay Tai Lung for as long as he can. Then Po meets his father on the way back, and unexpectedly his father tells him the secret ingredient of the family's noodle soup: nothing. He explains that things become special when people believe they are. I think this is the theme of the movie. Once you hold a firm belief, you can get what you want.
On the whole, the movie is funny and entertaining. Its theme of “believe in yourself” is loved by the parents. And for alts there are some wonderful actions and sceneries. If you have not watched the Kung Fu Panda, I sincerely recommend you to watch it and enjoy the enthusiastic and funny Panda.
音乐之声1
Watching the DVD of "The Sound of Music" wasn't exactly a revelation -- after all, I was a teenager when the film came out, and saw it in a theater, lo those many years ago -- but it was a delight.
I hadn't seen it for many years, and it was a great treat to see it again via the excellent proction values of the THX digitally mastered DVD.
That long tracking shot over the Alps to Julie Andrews' wonderful, crystal-ringing voice set the pace for a delightful movie.
There are people who turn a cynical eye and ear to this film, which is too bad for them. Musicals have a limited audience in this age, I suppose, but for those who love music in any form, and who can stand some sweetness from time to time, this film is deeply enjoyable.
The music is almost completely great (there is one tune I just can't warm up to), the performances are charming, the Austrian locales are beautiful and the story is touching, involving love, personal drama and world drama. What else do you want?
"The Sound of Music" is a mostly true story, of the Von Trapp Family Singers. Austrian Captain von Trapp, wife Maria and his children had sung in the Salzburg Music Festival in 1936, then scooted out of Europe in 1938 to get away from Hitler and his evil ways. Eventually they opened a music school, then an inn, in Vermont.
Maria wrote a book, "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers," which became a German film, "Die Trapp Familie," in 1956. By 1959, the story of the von Trapps had become a successful Broadway musical, with a little help from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The movie version -- directed by Robert Wise and somewhat improved from the stage version, most agree -- was released in 1965.
It is the story of the lively novitiate nun, Maria (Andrews), who -- too flighty to concentrate on religious ties -- is sent to be governess to the von Trapp children. She soon thaws out the icy Captain von Trapp (played by Christopher Plummer) and he sings "Edelweiss" with his children, and before too long he's in love with the noviate and eventually they are wed.
Watching the DVD -- again, many years after the last time I'd seen the film -- I was continually thrilled by Andrew's great charm and beautiful voice, which rings as pure as the finest crystal. She is so delightful in the role that it is no wonder she has been the star she is for so long.
There are photographs of the real Maria, and interviews with some of the von Trapp children. It's amusing to hear them talk about the liberties the film took with their story.
"The Sound of Music" was the most popular movie ever made to that date, and held the box-office record for a long time. For good reason. It is a complete delight, and still highly recommended.
音乐之声2
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) was one of the most popular films of the 1960s. Although a bit corny, it is a joyous musical odyssey suitable for the entire family. Today, too often what goes for musicals, see for example EVITA, is little more that a show with a single decent song. In THE SOUND OF MUSIC every song is tuneful and most are memorable and moving.
Some shows are meant to be seen in a movie theater on a large screen with an impressive sound system to match. THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one of them. Nevertheless, our family enjoyed it at home. We have a high quality home theater setup, but the full effect can only be experienced in a real theater. I have not seen the film that way in thirty years. This review is from the home viewing rather than my memory.
The movie is filled with songs, and there are even some simple dance numbers. When Liesl dances in the conservatory at night with Rolfe (Daniel Truhitte), she ends up giving him a single kiss. This sends him into total rapture. I can remember a time when I was a teenager like him and one kiss from a girl, especially a beautiful one, could evoke a response as strong as Rolfe's. Times change and teenagers are regretfully much more sexually sophisticated now. Still, the lone kiss in that scene remains powerful.
In a show that is so upbeat it has been criticized as being sappy, there is the tension of the looming war. The Captain's friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn) is apolitical and ignores the coming Anschluss. "What's going to happen is going to happen," he advises the Captain. "Just make sure it doesn't happen to you." Although this war reality is ever-present and although the film is based on a true story, the movie feels like a lovely and enring fairy tale.
This is a movie filled with exuberance, memorable songs, and great beauty. A joy to be savored and seen by each generation.
