　　《黑駿馬》英文讀後感

“Animals deserve our kindness, sympathy and understanding,” that is what Anna Sewell-the author of Black Beauty-wanted to convince her readers. Thanks to Sewell, I now think about the animal-human relationship from both the human and the animal's point of view.

The inspiration for Anna Sewell's novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses. Anna Sewell was born on March 20th, 1820 in Norfolk, England and was crippled while still very young. Due to her disability, she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result. She also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book In the second year of work on the book, she was told that she had only eighteen months to live, but she persevered in order “to induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses.” Five years later, she was still working on Black Beauty, her only book. Unfortunately, Sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book's huge success. Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous.

The novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in Britain during the Victorian Era. In that time period, the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable. In order to call people's attention to horses' hard life, Sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse. This innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success. Readers heard the stories straight from the horse's mouth, literally, as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering. People were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals.

Sewell formed the novel with three kinds of characters: Black Beauty, Ginger and other farm animals. Through their different experiences, I saw similarly painful lives led by the animals. This method made the earnest appeal for animal rights become more and more persuasive.

As a domestic animal, Black Beauty was continuously sold from one family to another. Over the years Beauty enjoyed good masters but also endured mean ones. Sometimes, he was cared for and at other times tortured. In the end, everything turns out all right in a story that is so tender and yet meaningful. His story was so vivid that caught the readers' heart. The novel brought people laughter and tears and also enlightened them to understand animals at the same time.

Animals cannot speak so understanding is significant to them. Once, for example, Beauty was drawing the carriage to a wooden bridge. The bridge was flooded out in the river and John, the groom, was not aware that it was cracked. But the quickly realized that something was wrong because of Beauty's abnormal behavior. Momentarily, a man shouted to them, “Stop! Stop!…The bridge is broken in the middle. If you come across, you'll fall in the river!” Beauty had saved John. However, if John had not tried to understand what Beauty wanted to tell him, there would definitely have been an accident. I learnt from the story that understanding animals is not only essential to them but is also beneficial to us ourselves.

In order to emphasize the importance of understanding animals, the writer created Ginger as a negative example. Ginger was the friend of Beauty who led a much more miserable life than Beauty did. Once she told Beauty: “When I was trained, several men caught me in a corner of the field and one held my nose so hard that I could only just breathe. Then others pulled my mouth open to put the bit in, and I was pulled along and beaten from behind. They didn't give me a chance to understand what they wanted.”

Poor Ginger, kindness was all she needed. She was frightened seriously so she bit or kicked to defend any possible attacks. The more she was whipped the more she bit, the more she bit the more she was whipped. In this way, both animals and humans were trapped in a terrible cycle made by human beings. Consequently, humans were frequently hurt by frightened horses. The author thus portrayed Ginger to tell me that harming animals may also harm us.

When I have a sketchy look at other farm animals the writer depicts, it is simple to find more examples of cruel things humans do to animals out of ignorance. This part of the novel expanded people's scope from only horses to all the animals and deepened the plea for animal rights and that made the novel more successful.

Sir Oliver, the old horse, had a 20-centimeter-long tail. His beautiful long tail was cut off just because the owners thought it was fashionable. Humans never understood how pained a horse is when he can't brush flies off his sides and back legs.

Sky, the terrier, had had a part of her ears sheared off. Her owners wanted to make her look cute and ignored that parts of her ears were intended to protect the delicate parts from injury. “Why don't people cut their own children 's ears to make them look lovely?” Asked the poor dog angrily. Yes, why can't we think from the animals' perspective?

“Black Beauty is a heartbreaking story,” I thought when my mother read it to me when I was a child. As a child I was haunted by the described cruelty to those horses. Now I deeply hope, in the future, we will be able to tell our children that because of the book, and others like it, such mistreatment of animals no longer exists. And they just need to enjoy the novel as a beautiful historical documentary recording the progress of upholding animal rights. At that time, the dream of the author will have come true and her hard work will have been rewarded.

《黑駿馬》，相信許多人都讀過這本書，它被稱爲“第一部真正的動物小說”，是安娜·西維爾出版的唯一一部著作。下面我就來說說《黑駿馬》一書的具體內容和我的讀後感。

《黑駿馬》採用第一人稱，從純種良馬”黑寶”的視角娓娓道來,講述一匹歷盡坎坷終獲幸福的馬的故事.黑寶血統純正,出生在貴族的莊園裏,它天性溫順，善良聰明，而且從小就受到了精心的訓練.因爲生活中一個又一個的變故,黑寶被多次賣掉，經歷了各種各樣的生活環境,又遭遇了形形色色的人，飽嘗了世間的酸甜苦辣。小說細膩地描繪了黑寶的心理，生動表現了它的喜怒哀樂。作者在刻畫動物形象的同時，也審視了人類的性格品質和對待動物的態度，探討了人與動物和諧共處的可能。

文中的黑寶是幸運的。幼年時，它過的無憂無慮，它有着美好的環境和關心自己的媽媽,並且還有一位慈善的主人。長大了，它來到了波特維克莊園，這便是它的第二個家，這個家裏沒有壞人，只有好人。它的馬伕是約翰，主人是戈登先生，還有一位小夥子叫詹姆斯，他們個個都是懂行的人，約翰還發明瞭一種藥，叫“波特維克丸藥”，做法是把“耐心”，“溫柔”，“毅力”和“撫愛”每各取一公斤混在一起,再加進小半升“常識”，調和而成。我們都爲黑寶有這樣的一個好主人而開心，可人的命運況且不可能是一帆風順的，更何況是馬呢?因爲戈登先生的太太得了重病，到了一個溫暖國家去療傷原因，它被送到了爵府，遇到了可怕的短繮繩，還有一名醉馬伕，把它折騰得生不如死之後，又變成了出租馬的生活，嚐盡了苦、辣、酸。到了最後，苦盡甘來，在拍賣會上被一名老鄉紳買了回來，通過在波特維克莊園工作的小馬伕喬·格林會到了戈登一家，黑寶最終在經歷波折之後有了一個溫暖、可愛的家。

讀完之後，整個故事給人一種高興與氣憤的感覺，氣憤的是文中的一些人輕視動物，隨便殘害它們，虐待它們。高興的是有着許多像戈登先生一樣的人，他們強力反對這種情況，並做一些力所能及的事去善待動物和保護動物，我們應該向他們學習。請記住，動物也是有感情的、有生命的，它們是我們人類的好朋友！
