瓦尔登湖英文读后感 1
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), the author of Walden, was born in Concord, Massachusetts. When he was a child, he always went to the woods and field with his old brother. So he loves the nature very much. In the middle of 19th century, American economies developed so rapidly that most people pursuit the material life and ignore the spiritual life. But Thoreau wants to live a simple life. Also for the Transcendentalist Movement was centered in Concord and Emerson had a great influence on him. All these made Thoreau go to build a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and live alone to close to the nature in 1845. Later, he wrote the famous book, Walden, which mainly talks about his life and thoughts during he lived alone in the woods near Walden Pond.
When Walden was published in 1854, it was not well accepted by people. Instead it was regarded as.
He also writes that though he lives alone in the woods, he is close to nature and makes himself as a part of nature. He lives alone, but sometimes he also talks with his visitors who are honest, sincere, thinkable and loving their life.
Thoreau also mentions that the noise in the town and the whistle of train disturb the quite life of the town. However, in the woods life is quite. When he lives in the woods, he can listen to animals sounds such as birds singing, owl’s hooting, cockerel’s crowing etc. He lives with animals friendly. He also describes the Walden Pond. The water, blue and green, clear and pure, freezes in winter and melts in spring.
When I was reading Walden, I felt that I was listening to a wise man’s talking. The words and phrases about the nature especially the Walden Pond are beautiful and fascinating. The sentences are full of wisdom and philosophy.
Reading this book re
minds me of those people who work hard to earn money, waste lots of money to buy luxury and expensive things, waste time to entertain themselves. In my point of view, they may easily lose themselves, and though their bodies are full, their minds are hungry. The real life is to make every complicate thing to be simple and enrich our heart and soul. In a word, just simplicity 、simplicity and simplicity!
One of Thoreaus thoughts about solitude attracts me deeply for I’m the person who likes to be alone. There are some reasons for why I like to be alone: Firstly I think that living with others is easy going to have a conflict whatever you are best friends. Secondly just as Thoreau saying ‘a man thinking or working always alone and let him be where he will’. I always spent most of time to study, and I like to make myself busy all the time, so I have little time to stay with others. In addition to, what
Im thinking and interested in is quite different from others. I like studying at library and reading books but dont like pursuit fashionable and new trend things for it makes me feel tired and bored. So I always live alone and people who around me think I must be lonely. Actually its not true. They dont understand me at all. When Im studying, learning or reading, I dont think other things, just immersing in the ocean of knowledge .My heart is quite calm. And if learn new knowledge I got a feeling of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment. So I was so surprised that what Thoreau said was exactly same to what I thought. I was so glad to find a person who has the same idea with me. When Thoreau lived alone in the woods, people did not understand him, even Emerson thought what he did was wrong. And now, people who around me think my life is not good. But I think Thoreau’s life was successful, meaningful and happy, so do I. Because I think that the success and happiness of life all come
from exactly value. Everyone deeply desires of themselves life. When you know what the value of yourself is, meanwhile you can enjoy your life according to the value every time. You will find that everyday you have full of energy and enthusiasm to do anything, hear the sure sound from your heart, and often feel intense achievement, the most important is that your heart is peace and calm.
Last but not least, I envy Thoreau so much for he lives in such a beautiful and comfortable nature environment. He can breathe the fresh air, live with wild animal friendly; appreciate the scenery of Walden Pond etc. While in modern society, people pursuit their own interests to hunt and kill animals, cut down trees and pollute the rivers and so on. As a result, the number of wildlife is decreasing, the area of lake is shrinking, and the water is not pure any more. The environment problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution have been becoming increasingly serious. Reading this book makes me be aware of protecting the environment to realize the harmony between human and nature.
The concept of responsibility is a necessary fiction. Although socities
must hold their individuals accountable for their own actions, peoples behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making.
On one hand, the highest social animal as human being is, any individual has his specific role in a certain society. And this specific role gives one social identity and individual responsibility through education in schools and influence of ethical and moral standards. Though some times one would feel that the certain responsibility is obligation from the society and organizations rather than his individual responsibility at first, in most cases, the accountability would presumably become ones own eventually followed by the final identification of his specific social identity, and then direct ones behaviors without the force from the exterior world. For example, a soldier would think it is his duty to obey the rules without any hesitation; a surgeon would consider healing the patients as his
accountability; and a historian would feel it is his responsibility to discover what is behind the historical descriptions. In fact, different careers and roles form diverse individual responsibilities, which result in individuals’voluntary behaviors.
On the other hand, there are not only specific individual responsibilities in diverse areas but also some fundamental values and accountabilities, which we all human beings cherish. From the moment one can speak or even is born, the society begins to instill the moral and ethical standards, which is so called humanity in every ones mind. The older one is, the deeper influence the humanity would be. When one is just a little child, he would go directly to what he like and claim it. Then when he is old enough, he would realize that it is incorrect and ashamed. And because of the awareness of what is right and wrong, one would probably never do any misdeed again. Actually, humanity is just the common individual responsibility shared by all of us.
However, every one lives in a certain society thereby ones behavior is more or less influenced by forces not of their own making. And to operate normally, every society has its laws, though many times have differences among them. It is true that humanity plays an essential role in ruling individuals behaviors; yet laws are necessary. Under the control of laws, people who have little individual responsibility would probably not dare to do any crime in fear of law punishment. Besides laws, for example in school, rules are also an important factor as well as individual responsibility. Nowadays, in most universities, a student who does not pass some certain courses in his four years college life would not get his diploma of bachelors degree. So even if a student does not like his discipline, or dose not care about his GPA, the pressure of graduating forces him not to playing computer or basketball all the time.
In addition, individual responsibility and forces from outside world have overlapped parts some times. For instance, studying diligently is some hard- working students individual responsibility as well as the pressure from schools and society.
Generally speaking, it is hasty and incorrect to conclude that the concept of individual responsibility is a necessary fiction. On the contrary, individual responsibility plays an important role which cannot be replaced. However, laws and the exterior force also have their significance as well. Thus we can not put either of them aside and pay more attention to another
Although I may not understand Thoreaus thoughts completely, I’m really benefited from reading the book, Walden.

瓦尔登湖英文读后感 3
Walden is a masterpiece written by Henry David Thoreau （1817-1862）， who was born in Concord, Massachusetts. The age he lived had witnessed the flourish of capitalism as well as the prosperity of industrialization and urbanization. During the 19th century, the American economy developed at so fast rate that most people were bound up in pursuing the material satisfaction , while ingored the spiritual life to a great extent. But Thoreau was quite different from other people, he disdained the modern civilization and attached more importance to the spirit than the material. He thought many people of his time lived in a non-human-like modern society and many modern appliances, such as trains and telegraphs, had done harm to peoples harmonious life peace and also broken the relationship between human and nature.
In order to prove that without the modern instruments , people can also live a happy life, in 1845, he moved into a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and live there alone for two years to get close to the nature .Walden, is the famous book mainly talks about his life and thoughts during those days living in the woods .
Thoreau was so happy with the life living near the lake of Walden that he felt it a sweet grace to have the nature accompany and even the sounds of rain and the sights around his house were full of sincere friendship. In his eyes, the nature was an intimate friend of him and all things in the nature were lively and vivacious. And all kinds of animals in the wood, such as field mouses, robins and wild rabbits were amicably treated and regarded as his adorable companions. He even thought that plants were also had the right to live equal with human beings. Just because of this, he even blamed himself for hitting chestnut trees with stones. From many words or sentences, we can easily feel Thoreaus deep love and care towards nature.
Besides, Thoreau was a pioneering nature lover, who called on people to stop destorying nature but protect it by setting himself an example to others. The consciousness of the environmental protection is becoming more and more important in our modern society, while the whole world is trapped in some serious ecological crisises resulting from hunting and killing animals, cutting down trees and polluting the rivers for pursuit of human beings own interests. We all have the common sense that the number of wildlife is decreasing, the area of lake is shrinking, and the water is not clear any more. Whats worse, environment problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution are deteriorating during the commercial process . So its high time that we should realize we never be the dominator of the whole world conquring nature, but should spare no efforts to improve the environment right away. That is, we should comply with the natural laws, make reasonable utilization of natural resources and keep the harmonious development between the society and the environment. Only in this way will we has an opportunity to embrace a bright future and achieve a sustainable society .
In the book, Walden, Thoreau not only advocated the protection of nature, but also encourage people to comprehend and return to nature. He told us using his own experience that by living a simple life close to nature, we human beings will find out the true value of life and significance of existence.
After reading the book, what impressed me most is the description of the fascinating scenery around the Walden pound, especially these sentences: "A lake is the landscapes most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earths eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows". To Thoreau, the Walden lake is like a charming and melting girl , who has slender eyelashes and likes to dress herself in different beautiful clothes with the changes of different seasons.
Every morning after getting up, Thoreau would have a bath in the Walden lake to start a new day. After that, he used to wander around the pond and refresh himself with the fresh air. In summer days , he cultivated a piece of land and growed beans, blackberries, johnsworts and the like. The depiction of his leisure rurality spontaneously reminds me of Tao Yuanming, the famous Chinese poet, who lived in the Jin Dynasty and made his life meaningful by returning to the nature and perfecting himself. If Thoreau and Tao Yuanming lived in the same period and place, they would probably become best friends.
From the book, we know that during the years when Thoreau lived near the Walden, he did not completely isolate himself from the outside world. Sometimes he went to the town and did odd jobs and would receive visitors and friends in his cabin at times. As I mention before, the intention for his living in the woods was that he wanted to teach people how to live a simple life, achieve enjoyment from the nature, free oneself from the strained daily life and what is more important is to reevaluate the value of social life.
Thoreaus though of enjoying a simple life has a more realistic significance and have become a valuable spiritual wealth in our modern society. With the development of the material civilization, peoples desires are swelling limitlessly and many people are busy with the pursuit of wealth and luxurious life by any means, including at the expense of nature. However, even in the society materially affluent and technologically advanced , people are not be more happier than those people who lived centuries ago, but even feel less satisfactory and complaint more about their present life as a result of having unbounded desires of getting more and better. Therefore, many people who possess a lat have become slaves of machine, working more but do not have the ability to enjoy what they have.
In the book Walden, Thoreau had realize this problem several hundreds ago. Thus, he set his mind to give a enlightenment to awake people and encourage them to live a simple life. His thoughts have great similarity with the belief of our Chinese humanism, that is, the meaning of life lies in the sane and healthy enjoyment of a simple life. In fact, Thoreau and his teacher and friend Emerson praised highly on Confucianism and both them benefited a lot from it. I am very happy to see the interlinked place between Chinese culture and western culture.
Reading this book is like having a tranquil steam flow through my heart, washing the dust in my mind. It teaches me how to keep a pure spirit in the complex society, set proper goals for my life as well as enjoy the endows of nature. In short, I feel it quite worthwhile to read the book Walden. I sincerely hope more and more people would like to read this book and receive benefits from it .
瓦尔登湖英文读后感 4
Closing the white cover of the book ’Walden’， I just quite confused because so many new words that I can’t recognize. With the help of Chinese version downloaded from the internet, after I catch the general idea, a burst of cold water pours into my heart, pure and limpid, clarify my shattered mind without any dirt existing. As some said in preface “Walden is a book with loneness and solitude and a book with a single person.” When your mind is uneasy, you ha一ve no need reading the book. It requires you to come down and to be at leisure.
The book was written in the middle of the 19th century-a period that is a rapid development of capitalism. Under such a background, most people would rather pursue benefits as possible as they can and try every means to ob一tain higher power and money no matter what it would cost. Industrial civilization and noisy society was gradually corrupting the nature of the humanity. However, at this situation, a illuminati graduating from Harvard University, carried an axe along with his lone single shadow. Then away from the city he ran into the uninhabited Walden at the edge of the mountain forest and settled down over here. He insisted on his own ways with a yearning for nature as well as set out the trace of the soul. At the land of the so-called Walden” drops of god”。 He became unperturbed in space，lonely in thought.
He quietly uploaded the noise in the city. Then he wrote down the solitude by heart. Every time when people read his book, they definitely will be shocked. He fell into meditating about the life. It made people’s heart become as clear as the pure water. I stand in awe of him, his life turned out to be such simple and meanwhile glamorous. It is rather than momentary but significant. His spiritual world is colorful even exquisite beyond compare. Maybe in the world seldom exist such a sage like him.
Throughout Thoreau’s short lifetime, he attempted to encourage people to simplify the life and spare the time to go deep into the real life. At the same time, he let them enjoy it. He told people not to be confused with complicated life by his own experiences. In the direction of Thoreau, they would not lose a flash of hope or lose their way in life. They should be a rudder of the life thus start on a new journey. He thought that if people were able to set the simple life by universe regulation, it would not arouse many anxieties which disturbed the inner peace of the heart. The so-called tomorrow would not approach in spite of the ending of the time. We regarded a flash of light as darkness. As we were sober, the first light of morning was going to break.
He calls on people live a simple life that is in order to make people experience something new instead of sa一ving money. Maybe this is the value of a person. There’s not any pretence, only be surrounded with solitude and quietness.
At the shore of Walden, the author exactly chased for depth, rather, it was pursuing the depth. In a lonely state of mind, he thought about the life and explored the real meaning. Solitude inspired his profound thought. “Do not give me love, money or reputation, please give me the truth.” This was what he was calling in his heart.
Though we can’t live a life in woods around the mountain and Walden has disappeared forever, it’s impossible to hinder us ha一ve a Walden of our own. Our heart need being clarified as Thoreau has said that let your spirit set out to explore.
瓦尔登湖英文读后感 5
"Walden" by Henry David Thoreau is a profound and thought - provoking book that takes readers on a journey into the heart of nature and the essence of a simple life. Thoreaus two - year sojourn at Walden Pond is not merely a physical retreat but a spiritual and philosophical exploration.
The descriptions of nature in the book are nothing short of breathtaking. Thoreau has an extraordinary ability to observe and convey the beauty and complexity of the natural world. He writes about the changing seasons at the pond, the way the sunlight dances on the water, and the diverse wildlife that inhabits the area. Reading his words, one cant help but feel a deep sense of connection to nature. It makes me realize how often we overlook the wonders of the natural world in our busy modern lives. For example, when he describes the ice on the pond in winter, "The ice was not yet firm, but was full of cracks, which were not visible from the surface, but made a tinkling sound under my feet," I can almost hear the sound and feel the delicate ice beneath my own feet.
Moreover, Thoreaus ideas about simplicity and self - reliance are truly inspiring. He chose to live a life away from the hustle and bustle of society, relying on his own labor to meet his basic needs. He believed that people should simplify their lives and focus on what truly matters. In todays consumer - driven society, we are constantly bombarded with the idea that more is better, that we need the latest gadgets and the biggest houses. Thoreau challenges this mindset. His life at Walden Pond shows that a fulfilling life can be achieved with very little. He built his own cabin, grew his own food, and spent his time in deep thought and communion with nature. This makes me reflect on my own life and the unnecessary things I accumulate. I often find myself buying things I dont really need, and this book has made me more aware of the importance of living a more minimalist lifestyle.
However, I also find that some of Thoreaus ideas are a bit too extreme for modern times. In todays globalized world, its almost impossible to be completely self - reliant. We are all interconnected, and our lives depend on the work of people from all over the world. But his overall message of simplicity and a deeper connection to nature is still relevant and valuable. It serves as a reminder to slow down, appreciate the beauty around us, and not get caught up in the rat race of modern life.
瓦尔登湖英文读后感 6
Henry David Thoreaus "Walden" is a literary masterpiece that has withstood the test of time. After reading this book, I was deeply touched by Thoreaus unique perspective on life, nature, and society.
At its core, "Walden" is a celebration of nature. Thoreaus love for the natural world is evident on every page. He describes the woods, the pond, the animals, and the plants with such vividness and detail that the reader can easily imagine being there. The way he observes the behavior of ants in their battles, the flight of birds, and the growth of plants makes me see nature in a whole new light. It makes me realize that there is a whole world of wonder and complexity in the natural environment that we often take for granted. For instance, his description of the loon diving in the pond, "It was a pretty sight, and yet, when I looked upon it from the bank, I thought more of its loneliness and its wildness than of its beauty," shows how he not only sees the physical beauty but also the deeper essence of nature.
In addition to his love for nature, Thoreau also advocates for a simple and self - sufficient life. He believed that people should free themselves from the burdens of material possessions and social conventions. By living in a small cabin by Walden Pond, he demonstrated that one can live a fulfilling life with very little. His experiences taught him the value of hard work, self - reflection, and independence. This aspect of the book has made me question my own lifestyle. I am constantly surrounded by consumer culture, where the pursuit of wealth and material goods seems to be the norm. Thoreaus example makes me wonder if I am truly happy with all the things I have accumulated or if I am just following the crowd. It has inspired me to simplify my life, to focus on the things that bring me real joy and fulfillment, such as spending time in nature, reading, and having meaningful conversations with friends.
Another important theme in "Walden" is Thoreaus critique of society. He was critical of the way people in his time were so caught up in making money and conforming to social expectations that they lost touch with their true selves. He believed that society often imposed unnecessary restrictions on individuals and that people should have the courage to think for themselves and live life on their own terms. This message is still relevant today. In modern society, we are often pressured to fit into certain molds, whether its in our careers, our relationships, or our appearance. Thoreaus words encourage us to break free from these constraints and to live authentically.
Overall, "Walden" is a book that challenges us to think differently about our lives. It is a call to return to nature, to simplify our existence, and to be true to ourselves. Although it was written over a century ago, its message is timeless and has the power to transform the way we live.
瓦尔登湖英文读后感 7
"Walden" is a remarkable book that offers a unique insight into Henry David Thoreaus life and his philosophy. Thoreaus decision to live in solitude near Walden Pond was a bold and revolutionary act in his time, and it continues to inspire readers today.
One of the things that struck me the most about "Walden" is Thoreaus detailed and immersive descriptions of his daily life at the pond. He writes about everything from building his cabin to growing his crops, from observing the changing seasons to interacting with the local wildlife. His account is so vivid that it makes me feel as if I am right there with him, experiencing the joys and challenges of a simple, self - sufficient life. For example, when he describes his efforts to grow beans, "I came to love my rows, my beans, though so many more than I wanted. They attached me to the earth, and so I got strength like Antaeus," it gives me a sense of the connection he felt to the land and the satisfaction he derived from his labor.
Thoreaus thoughts on the relationship between humans and nature are also very profound. He believed that nature was not just a resource to be exploited but a source of spiritual nourishment and wisdom. He spent hours observing the natural world, learning from it, and finding meaning in its every aspect. This view is quite different from the dominant attitude towards nature in modern society, where nature is often seen as something to be conquered or used for economic gain. Reading "Walden" has made me more conscious of the need to respect and protect nature. It has made me realize that we are all part of the natural world and that our well - being is closely tied to the health of the environment.
Furthermore, Thoreaus musings on the nature of happiness and the purpose of life are both thought - provoking and inspiring. He argued that true happiness does not come from material possessions or social status but from living a life of integrity, simplicity, and connection with nature. He questioned the values of a society that placed so much emphasis on wealth and consumerism, and he urged people to find their own path to happiness. This message is particularly relevant in todays world, where many people are constantly chasing after the next big thing in the hope of finding happiness, only to end up feeling empty and unfulfilled.
However, I must admit that at times, "Walden" can be a bit challenging to read. Thoreaus writing style is rather complex, and his ideas are often presented in a somewhat meandering way. But despite these difficulties, I believe that the rewards of reading this book are well worth the effort. It has broadened my perspective on life, deepened my appreciation for nature, and encouraged me to live a more intentional and meaningful life.
瓦尔登湖英文读后感 8
Henry David Thoreaus "Walden" is a literary gem that has had a profound impact on me. This book is not just a memoir of Thoreaus time in the woods but a profound exploration of the human condition, the relationship between man and nature, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.
The books opening lines, "When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only," immediately draw the reader in. They set the tone for a story of self - discovery, independence, and a return to nature. As I read further, I was struck by Thoreaus meticulous observations of the natural world. He describes the colors of the sunset over the pond, the sounds of the birds in the morning, and the way the leaves rustle in the wind with such precision that its as if hes painting a picture with words. His descriptions made me long to escape the noise and chaos of modern life and find solace in nature, just as he did.
Thoreaus ideas about simplicity are also a central theme in "Walden." He believed that people had become too caught up in the pursuit of material possessions and social status, and that this had led to a loss of true happiness and fulfillment. By living a simple life in the woods, he showed that it was possible to be content with very little. He built his own cabin, grew his own food, and spent his days in quiet reflection and contemplation. This concept of simplicity is something that I find particularly appealing in todays consumer - driven society. We are constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need more things to be happy, but Thoreaus example shows that true happiness can be found in the simplest of things, such as a beautiful sunset, a good book, or the company of a friend.
Another aspect of "Walden" that I found fascinating was Thoreaus critique of society. He was highly critical of the way that people in his time were willing to sacrifice their individuality and their freedom in order to conform to social norms. He believed that people should have the courage to think for themselves and to live life on their own terms. This message is still relevant today, as many of us are still struggling to find our own voices and to break free from the constraints of society. Thoreaus words serve as a reminder that its important to stay true to ourselves, even if it means going against the grain.
In conclusion, "Walden" is a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a deeper understanding of themselves, nature, and the world around them. It is a book that challenges us to think differently about our lives and to make choices that are true to our values. Despite being written over 150 years ago, its message is still as relevant and powerful as ever.
瓦尔登湖英文读后感 9
"Walden" by Henry David Thoreau is a book that delves deep into the realms of simplicity, nature, and the human spirit. Thoreaus experiment of living in solitude near Walden Pond for two years offers a unique perspective on life that is both refreshing and enlightening.
One of the most appealing aspects of "Walden" is Thoreaus vivid portrayal of nature. His descriptions of the pond, the forest, and the various creatures that inhabit the area are so detailed and beautiful that they transport the reader to that idyllic setting. He writes, "The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star." This passage not only showcases his love for nature but also his belief in the transformative power of a new perspective. Through his eyes, we see nature not just as a backdrop but as a living, breathing entity that has much to teach us.
Thoreaus ideas about simplicity are also a major highlight of the book. He believed that by simplifying our lives, we can free ourselves from the unnecessary burdens of society and focus on what truly matters. His life at Walden Pond was a testament to this belief. He lived in a small cabin, made his own clothes, and grew his own food. This minimalist lifestyle allowed him to have more time for self - reflection and to pursue his interests. In todays world, where we are constantly bombarded with consumerism and the pressure to keep up with the latest trends, Thoreaus message of simplicity is more relevant than ever. It makes me stop and think about how much of my life is spent chasing after things that dont really bring me happiness.
Moreover, "Walden" is also a book about self - discovery. Thoreaus time in the woods was a journey of exploration, both of the natural world and of himself. He used this time to reflect on his values, his beliefs, and his place in the world. He wrote, "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." This quote sums up his quest for a meaningful life. Reading his words has inspired me to take more time for self - reflection and to be more intentional about the way I live my life.
However, like any book, "Walden" is not without its limitations. Some of Thoreaus ideas may seem a bit idealistic or even unrealistic in todays complex world. For example, his vision of complete self - reliance is difficult to achieve in a society where we are all so interconnected. But despite these limitations, the overall message of the book is still powerful and relevant. It serves as a reminder to slow down, appreciate nature, simplify our lives, and seek out our own truths.
