有一池清澈的水。
池塘附近有一些大树。
草地的一边是一块地,另一边是我们主人的房子,农民灰色,我和母亲在草地上跑来跑去。
晚上我躺在她旁边。
当天气炎热时,我们站在池塘边的树下。
天冷时,我们在温暖的棚子里,草地上有六只小马驹。
我过去常和他们一起玩,玩得很开心。
但是有一天,我母亲对我说,小马没有礼貌,但你很有教养,长大后会变得温柔善良。
现在,记住,做好你的工作,不要咬或踢我母亲的建议。
-13我和其他小马吃草时,我们听到他们闻到野兔的声音。
“我母亲说。
就在这时,一只野兔试图穿过篱笆。
我们听到尖叫声,她就这样结束了。
-14“那个男人的脖子断了,”我母亲说。
骑手是George Gordon,一个高个子的年轻人,他是Squire gordon的独生子,兽医看到他的黑马摇了摇头。
几声巨响,几天后,马再也不动了,我们听到教堂的钟声。
一些人把George Gordon带到教堂墓地。
我知道一匹漂亮的马和一个年轻人都死了。
小野兔说。
-15随着年龄的增长,我变得漂亮了。
我的外套是和黑色,我有一只白色的脚和一个漂亮的白色星星在我的上!额头我四岁的时候,乡绅戈登决定原谅我。
然后农夫格雷开始打断我的动作,意思是教马穿鞍和缰绳,背着一个人。
他不能和其他的马说话,咬或踢,但他必须总是做什么。
-16我嘴里咬了一口。
这是可怕的像金属手指在我的牙齿之间。
马鞍还不错。
一天早晨,我的主人骑着我绕过草地。
我很自豪地带着他,我很快就习惯了,但我不喜欢铁鞋。
他们很僵硬,很重。
-17-1维莫特纳告诉我:这里有像我们的主人一样的好人,但也有坏人。
我希望你有好的主人。
但永远,永远尽自己最大的努力。
-17-2伯特威克的拉格。
我的新马厩又大又舒服,5月份,一个男人带着尼尔在我旁边,是一只小灰马,你好吗你叫什么名字”我说:“我的名字叫Merrylegs。
我希望你脾气好,不像马匹在一匹高大的栗色马身上咬过的东西。
下午,当Merrylegs出去的时候,她告诉我她的生姜。

blackbeauty读后感《黑骏马》(Black Beauty)是英国女作家安妮·S·温特斯(Anna Sewell)所著的一部儿童小说,讲述了一匹名叫“黑骏马”的马儿,从小奴役开始经历了一系列的遭遇,最终获得了自由和幸福的故事。
这本书以其独特的方式,向我们展现了动物的感受、尊严和价值,引领着我们反思关于动物的道德操守和人与动物之间应该如何相处的问题。
我在阅读完《黑骏马》后,感受颇深,在此谈一下自己的阅读感受。
首先,我被书中所描绘的马匹的生命之路所打动。
小说的主人公黑骏马,从小生活在一个美好的环境中,享受着人们的关爱和呵护。
然而,黑骏马的生活从此变得颠沛流离,被迫从一个主人到另一个主人,身体不断被虐待,甚至奋斗到生命的最后一刻。
黑骏马的生活历程以及它的思考和感受,令读者更好地了解普通动物的生存现状以及它们的尊严和价值。
其次,书中描写了不同类型的人与动物之间的关系,使我不禁想起"动物权"这个词。
小说中,黑骏马通常在不同的主人之间转移,因此我们可以清楚地看到每个主人与黑骏马之间的关系。
在书中,主人们与马儿的互动方式大不相同。
其中有些主人像约翰和威尔法特先生一样,对待花费时间培养生物生命的方式相当谨慎和体贴。
另一方面,卡尔文医生本着同情动物的心态对待马匹,并表达了他对于马的深刻关切。
而另一些人则像吉纳饶斯夫人一样,不顾马儿的感受,为了自己利益而勉强动物干活,并忽略它们的身体状况和健康。
因此,从这部小说中,我们可以看到人与动物之间应如何相处的重要性。
最后,书中所表达的终极思想是:每个生命都是值得尊敬和珍惜的。
书的作者温特斯是一个动物爱好者,她创作《黑骏马》的初衷就是为了呼吁人们关注动物的权益。
这本书使得她的观点传达给了无数儿童,并且成为了一部经典的文学作品,不仅让我们了解了动物的思想、感受,同样也在一定程度上影响了读者的成长。
总而言之,《黑骏马》是一部描写生命、尊严和价值的精彩小说。

但是他诞生的那个年月,作为一匹马,那他的命运就注定是坎坷的。
在小的时候,他亲眼目睹了自己个哥哥——一匹同样美丽强健的黑马,由于一次奔跑中的意外葬送了自己的生命。
小的时候,妈妈就就告知过他:遇到好的仆人就是他的福气,遇到虐待自己的仆人就只能自认倒霉。

Crazy English2024.1Black Beauty (Excerpt)《黑骏马》(节选)Anna SewellOne day inthe autumn, my master had to go to a distant town on business. John harnessed me to the carriage and the three of us wentoff. There had been a lot of rain, and the wind was very strong. When we came to the river, the water was so high that itnearly reached the wooden bridge, and many of the fields were under water. In onelow part of the road, the water was halfway up to my knees.We got to the town and the master sbusiness took a long time. It was late in the afternoon when we started to go back home. The wind was much stronger, and as we drove through a wood, I heard my master say, “I ve never been out in a storm as bad as this, John.” Indeed, I thought so too, hearing the terrible noise of that wildwind in the trees. “I wish we were out ofthis wood,” said my master. “Yes,sir,” agreed John. “We don t want one of those54疯狂英语 (新读写)branches coming down on top of us.”But just as he finished speaking,there was a great noise of wood breaking, and a big tree came crashing down through the other smaller trees and fell across the road right in front of us! I was very frightened and I stopped immediately, but I didn t turn round or try to run away. John jumped out and quickly ran to my side.“What can we do now, John?” said my master.“We can t drive over the tree or get round it, sir,” said John. “We ll have to go back to the crossroads, and take the longer road round to the wooden bridge. It will make us late, but the horse isn t tired.” It was nearly dark when we got to the wooden bridge. We could see water over the middle of it, but this often happened when theriver was high. But the moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I was sure something was wrong, and I stoppedsuddenly.“Go on, Beauty,” said my master, andhe touched me with the whip. I did not move, so he hit me sharply, but I would not go forward. “There s something wrong,” said John, and he jumped from the carriage and began to look round. He tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty, what s the matter?” Of course, I could not tell him, but I knew the bridge was not safe. Just then, a man ran out of the house on theother side of the bridge. “Stop! Stop!” hecried. “What s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle,” said the man, “and part of it was carried away. If you cross it, you ll fall intothe river!”“Thank you, Beauty!” John said to me, and turned me gently round to the righthand road by the riverside. It got darker and the wind got quieter as I trotted towards home by another, much longer road. The two men were quiet for sometime, but then my master spoke.“We were very close to drowning inthat river, John,” he said. “Men may be clever enough to think of things for themselves, but animals know things without thinking, and that s often saved a man s life, as it has ours tonight. People don t realize how wonderful their animals are,nor do they make friends with them as they should.”When we arrived back at BirtwickPark, the mistress ran out to meet us. “I ve been so worried!” she said. “Are you all right? Did you have an accident?”“We nearly did,” said my master.“But Black Beauty was cleverer than we were, and saved us all from drowning!”ReadingCheckUse your own words to share this storywith your friends.55。
【微书评】《黑骏马》(Black Beauty)【推荐理由】《黑骏马》(Black Beauty)是英国女作家安娜·休厄尔最受欢迎的一部作品,也是她一生中唯一的一部小说作品,小说一出版即轰动全球。
作者以第一人称的手法叙述了黑骏马一生的辛酸经历。
黑骏马是一匹性格温顺、精力旺盛、身强力壮的优种马,出生在一个善良的农场主家里。
它血统纯正,浑身乌黑油亮,只是右蹄和额头有一块星状白斑。
在接受了严格但并非残酷的训练之后,它被卖给了一个乡绅。
在那里它展示了它所有的高尚品格:忠诚、勇敢、机智,并救过主人的性命。
那是它一生中最幸福的一段:得到了主人的悉心照料,并结识了很多的朋友。
可好景不长,黑骏马很快就过上了苦难的日子。
它被卖到了伊儿莎,残酷的女主人坚持要给马戴上紧缰绳,因为这样看上去才有气派。
它的朋友金儿不堪折磨,奋起反抗,结果得到了更加严厉的惩罚。
黑骏马只是默默忍受,因为它相信情况一定会有所好转。
可事情并没有那么简单。
因为一个愚蠢的马夫的缘故,黑骏马的膝盖受伤,影响到外观,所以遭到再次转卖。
后来,它终于遇到了一个慈爱的出租马车车夫,度过了一段辛苦但快乐的时光。
出租马车车夫改行之后把黑骏马卖给了一个玉米商,它拉的货物总是超出它的体能负荷。
在又一次被卖给一个出租马车车夫之后,黑骏马的日子生不如死。
它的主人残忍至极,用带金属鞭鞘的鞭子抽打它,有一次还差点把它累死在半路上。
不管境遇如何,黑骏马总是默默承受,直到最后与它幼时的马夫相遇,才结束了苦难的生涯,过上了幸福生活。
正是由于坚韧,它才得以存活下来并向人们讲述了这个故事,它以一匹马的亲身经历告诉人们什么是忠诚和仁爱。
作者安娜·休厄尔,英国著名儿童文学作家,出生于19世纪英国的一个富裕家庭。

Black BeautyBlack Beauty is an 1877 novel by English author Anna Sewell. It was composed in the last years of her life, during which she was confined to her house as an invalid.The novel became an immediate bestseller, with Sewell living just long enough (five months) to see her first and only novel become a success. This story is about a horse that is sold from place to place. On his way, he meets many different horses, each of which have different personalities. He also meets lots of owners that treat him differently. Each chapter talks about a different incident in Black Beauty's life, and they all contain a lesson related to the treatment of horses.Although not originally intended as a children's novel, but for people who work with horses, it quickly became a children's classic. With fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time.While outwardly teaching animal welfare, it also contains allegorical lessons about how to treat people with kindness, sympathy and respect. Despite recollections to the contrary, there is no evidence that this book was ever banned in South Africa.Crippled and unable to walk since a young child, Anna Sewell began learning about horses early in life, spending many hours driving her father to and from the station from which he commuted to work. Sewell's introduction to writing began in her youth when she helped edit the works of her mother, Mary Wright Sewell (1797-1884), a deeply religious, popular author of juvenile best-sellers. By telling the story of a horse's life in the form of an autobiography and describing the world through the eyes of the horse, Anna Sewell broke new literary ground.Sewell said that her purpose in writing the novel was "to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses"—an influence she attributed to an essay on animals she read earlier by Horace Bushnell (1802-1876) entitled "Essay on Animals".Her sympathetic portrayal of the plight of working animals led to a vast outpouring of concern for animal welfare and is said to have been instrumental in abolishing the cruel practice of usng the checkrein (or "bearing rein", a strap used to keep horses' heads high, fashionable in Victorian England but painful and damaging to a horse's neck).Black Beauty also contains two pages about the use of blinders (calling them blinkers) on horses, concluding that this use is likely to cause accidents at night due to interference with "the full use of" a horse's ability to "see much better in the dark than men can.""There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a shame."—Black Beauty, Chapter 13, last paragraph.The book describes conditions among London horse-drawn taxicab drivers, including the financial hardship caused to them by high licence fees and low legally-fixed fares. A page footnote in some editions says that soon after the book was published, the difference between 6-day taxicab licences (not allowed to trade on Sundays) and 7-day taxicab licences (allowed to trade on Sundays) was abolished and the taxicab licence fee was much reduced.“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 fromhumans 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 understandi ng [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 a nimal 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. Re aders 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 o f 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.。
