<百万英镑>读后感

Mark Twain"s short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.

"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the heroine of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other people"s doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.

See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things ... ...

马克吐温著的短篇小说《百万英镑》是一部很好的作品。文章对“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的”的想法进行了讽刺，揭穿了资本主义社会的丑恶面容。

《百万英镑》是讲一个贫穷、诚实的人，也就是这个故事的主人公收到了一对兄弟的信，信里面送给了他一百万英镑。原来这对兄弟打了一个赌，赌如果一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑，他会有怎样的结果？哥哥认为他会饿死，因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的，会受到别人的怀疑，连银行都不会让他存钱。弟弟则认为他会过得很好，于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的支票借给了这个贫穷的人，并出国呆了三十天。没想到在这段时间内，人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁，竟拼命地拉拢他，从免费吃饭，买衣服，到免费住宿，一个个像乞丐一样讨好他，并不断提高他的社会地位，一直到了除王室外最高的公爵之上！不光如此，他还得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息，最后还从两兄弟那儿得到了一份很好的工作。过着非常非常幸福的生活。

看到这儿，我很羡慕这位如此“幸运”的主人公，但同时我又想：人们之所以讨好他，不就是因为当时人们太看重金钱了吗？拜金主义是可耻的，不劳而获更不应该！金钱不是万能的，世界上还有许多比金钱更重要的东西……
