英文的书评,准确的说是 review。
和任何文章一样,都由introduction,body和conclusion 组成。
开篇需要对文章或书籍的内容进行简短的概括,大约占文章总篇幅的20%。
接着是最关键的部分,正文。
首先需要表明观点,比如,你是赞同作者的观点,还是反对,或者作者的观点有哪些缺陷等等。
然后就是详细的论述,你可以举其他的例子或引用原文来支持自己的观点。
最后是总结,再次表明观点就可以了。
PS:critical reading 是非常重要的,也是写好review 的关键。
根据所阅读的文章的类型(genre of literature),review的写法会有细微的差别,但都离不开对中心思想的分析,个人的理解和论述更是文章的核心。
希望能对你有帮助,多多练习是永远的良方。
Review:
1. A report or an essay giving a critical estimate of a work or performance.。
评论:给出对一部著作或行为批评性评价的报告或评论。
2. A periodical devoted to articles and essays on current affairs, literature, or art.。
定期专栏评论:时事、文学及艺术方面文章或评论的期刊。
例如:
一些评论相关的杂志:
纽约书评 (New York Review of Books) 。
纽约大学法学评论 (NYU Law Review)。
税法评论(Tax Law Review)
诊所法律评论(Clinical Law Review)
东欧宪法评论(East European Constitutional Review)
国际宪法杂志(International Journal of Constitutional Law)。
英国艺术杂志 (Art Review)。
书评就应该像我在加拿大这边的Reading。
Response吧。
首先是你是因为什么选择这一本书,它是什么地方吸引你的,以及作者。
然后是summary,梗概
那后可以讲一讲你对这本书的了解,写一些像是你最喜欢的这本书的part是什么,你为什么很喜欢这个部分,也可以讲一讲他的高潮或是结尾,自己喜好定。你最喜欢的character(人物)是某某,你为什么喜欢他,他是不是和你有一些相像的地方。还有像是这本书有没有和你的生活有任何的connection,它教会了你什么,或是在什么地方感动了你。
最后可以写一些,This

我想这就应该是一个很棒的书评了吧,自己在学校都是这个套路写的。
希望你喜欢我的答案。^^
《简·爱》英语书评:
Jane Eyre gives me much useful inspiration after reading it. I respect Jane Eyre’s independence and I am most impressed by the true love between jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester who was a poor blind man, twenty years older than her.。
Jane Eyre never felt herself inferior as a tutor before Mr. Rochester and gained an equal status. She had lofty sentiments and was pure in mind. She had not been contaminated by common customs, so Mr.Rochester was attracted by her independent personality and falling love with her.。
In the story, Jane Eyre dismissed the chaise and driver with the double remuneration, which reflected her determination to come back to Mr. Rochester. She did not know whether Mr. Rochester was really there, but she still groped about in the twilight and came to the desolate house.。
She missed him that much. She only hoped that Mr Rochester let her live with him even if she found Mr Rochester blind and mutilated.。
Mr rochester became extremely excited when he heard and felt his beloved Jane was still living. He suggested that Jane marry one of the other young men because he thought himself as a sightless block. But he also showed his jealousy when Jane talked about St. John’s proposing marriage. All in all, Mr. Rochester was always loving Jane deeply.。
Mr. Rochester once exclaimedJane,Jane!Janeand Jane heared Rochester’s voice calling to her. Her voice replied,I am coming. Wait for me I think these are the call of love and the answer of love.。
Later on, after their marriage, Mr.Rochester miraculously regained his sight and lived happily with Jane.。
Personally, love can fasten the hearts of lovers tightly. Love is beyond time and space and the miracle of love can lead prayers to become reality.。
翻译
简爱读完后给了我很多有用的启发。我尊重简爱的独立性,最让我印象深刻的是简爱和比她大二十岁的可怜的盲人罗切斯特先生之间的真爱。
简爱在罗切斯特先生面前,从来不觉得自己作为导师自卑,获得了平等的地位。她有高尚的情操,心地纯洁。她没有被世俗的风俗所污染,所以罗切斯特先生被她独立的个性和对她的爱所吸引。
故事中,简爱以双倍报酬解雇了贵妃和司机,体现了她重回罗切斯特先生身边的决心。她不知道罗切斯特先生是否真的在那里,但她还是在暮色中摸索着来到了那座荒凉的屋子。
她是那么的想念他。她只希望罗切斯特先生让她和他住在一起,即使她发现罗切斯特先生又瞎又残。
当罗切斯特先生听到并感觉到他心爱的简还活着时,他变得非常兴奋。他建议简嫁给另外一个年轻人,因为他认为自己是个盲人。但当简谈到圣约翰的求婚时,他也表现出嫉妒。总而言之,罗切斯特先生一直深深地爱着简。
罗切斯特先生曾大声喊叫简,简!简和简听到罗切斯特的声音在呼唤她。她的声音回答说,我来了。等我我想这些是爱的呼唤和爱的回答。
后来,他们结婚后,罗切斯特先生奇迹般地恢复了视力,和简幸福地生活在一起。
就个人而言,爱情可以将恋人的心牢牢固定。爱是超越时空的,爱的奇迹可以使祈祷成为现实。

The old man and the sea "book such a story, the Cuban fisherman Santiago didn't catch fish for eighty-four days, by other fishermen as failure, but his perseverance, finally caught a big marlin.。

译文
《老人与海》一书中有这样一个故事,古巴渔民圣地亚哥八十四天没钓到鱼,被其他渔民视为失败,但他的毅力,终于钓到了一条大马林鱼。
虽然鱼要咬人,但什么也不能践踏他的英勇意志。这本书揭示了这样一个真理:人不是为失败而生的,人可以毁灭,但不能被打败。
以前,我做什么事只要不顺利,就会退缩,有时说几句郁闷的话。在学习上,我只要有几次考试都不是很理想,就没有信心。读完这本书后,我知道了自己的缺点,因为学习不再一帆风顺而失去信心,但考试不好,更应该好好学习。
《老人与海》,孤独的老渔夫圣地亚哥是个硬汉,他所体现的精神价值,是古希腊悲剧精神与现代的呼应。在《老人与海》中,海明威终于为他心爱的硬汉找到了灵魂,这种精神在人类永恒的价值中是不变的。
