這是部浪漫又現實的愛情。愛情沒有浪漫就失去其美好的色彩了。但是小說中種種關于門當戶對，以及財富對婚姻的考量卻充斥其中。

　　伊麗莎白為自己家人的行為給自己帶來的影響萬分懊惱，達西也因此勸賓利先生離開 簡，后來自己也是在理智與情感較量之后萬分矛盾地向伊麗莎白吐露心事。所以說什么是愛情？那種純粹的感情，愛的不顧一切，單純的潔白如雪的愛情是不是真如鏡中花水中月，是不是只不過是人們心中的美好幻想和追求罷了，而現實生活中人們總是尋找二者之間的最佳平衡點。

　　伊麗莎白在知道威克姆的真實面目前對其充滿好感，她的姨媽卻說這樣的青年托付終身不會幸福，因為他沒有財產沒有穩定收入，伊麗莎白接受這樣的看法，并且主動克制了自己的感情。小說描寫了一位老漁夫在海上捕魚，經過了84天，他還沒有捕到一條魚，大家都說他運氣不好，不吉利，等到第85天，他決定去漁夫們從未去過的深海去打魚，以證明自己的能力和勇氣。在海上，老人發現了一條很大的馬林魚，它克服了重重困難，經過艱難的搏斗，終于在第三天早晨，把魚叉刺進了馬林魚的心臟。在返回的途中，老人與到了鯊魚的五次襲擊，他用魚叉、船槳和刀子勇敢反擊。當他駕駛小船回到港口時，馬林魚只剩下一幅巨大的白骨架。

　　The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

　　I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

　　Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.

　　My first impression of this story was from screen.

　　Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.
