Buildingafenced-ininhabitation每個(gè)成長(zhǎng)中的青少年，尤其是男孩子都應(yīng)該讀讀它。

——盧梭魯濱孫漂流記笛?！遏敒I孫漂流記》一問(wèn)世即風(fēng)靡全球又歷久不衰。至今已出了幾百版，幾乎譯成了世界上所有各種文字。據(jù)說(shuō)除《圣經(jīng)》之外，《魯濱孫漂流記》是再版最多的一本書(shū)。在歐美國(guó)家是兒童的必讀書(shū)?！遏敒I孫漂流記》生存問(wèn)題生存，還是毀滅，這是一個(gè)值得思考的問(wèn)題。魯濱孫及時(shí)調(diào)整悲觀絕望的心態(tài)，決定在島上頑強(qiáng)地生存下去。吃喝住穿是人生存所依賴(lài)的物質(zhì)條件。物質(zhì)問(wèn)題計(jì)算時(shí)間、獲得的東西、缺乏的東西、打造木柵欄圍墻、每天覓食……人沒(méi)有精神寄托，靈魂就無(wú)所依附。精神問(wèn)題寫(xiě)日記，思考處境；得出經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)，希望得到理解；安心于荒島生活……

在海難中，同船的11人中，死了十個(gè)，就他一個(gè)人活著，這是上帝對(duì)他的特別關(guān)照。從船上獲得大量維持生活的必需品，這是上帝對(duì)他的特別恩賜。

他日記本上列出的六大“好處”更體現(xiàn)了他要頑強(qiáng)活下去的理由。魯濱孫雖身陷絕境,但他說(shuō)服自己頑強(qiáng)的活著,并打定主意在島上獨(dú)自生活一輩子,這需要巨大的勇氣。可以看出他是一個(gè)非常熱愛(ài)生命、珍惜生活的人。他活著也許并非為了什么,僅僅是因?yàn)樽约菏且粭l生命,既然是生命就應(yīng)該善待它。況且他活的積極、主動(dòng),活出了尊嚴(yán),這樣的人值得活著。魯濱孫是一個(gè)珍惜生命，熱愛(ài)生活；意志堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，生存信念執(zhí)著；勇于創(chuàng)造，務(wù)實(shí)肯干的人?！霸谧畈恍业奶幘持?，我們也可以把好處和壞處對(duì)照起來(lái)看，從而找到聊以自慰的事情?！笨梢愿爬橐粋€(gè)人在逆境中不要悲觀失望，而要努力看到積極的因素，從而改變自己被動(dòng)的局面。

魯濱孫記錄時(shí)間,是為了清楚地了解自己是怎么活著的,可以活多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。這表明了他對(duì)生存下去充滿信心。

記敘了他制作日歷,記錄時(shí)間,從船上獲得物品,艱難地打造木柵欄圍墻,以及每天在島上各處尋找食物。這樣寫(xiě),從一個(gè)側(cè)面體現(xiàn)了人類(lèi)創(chuàng)造生活的艱難,也表現(xiàn)了魯濱孫勤于創(chuàng)造、務(wù)實(shí)肯干的精神。

日記是為了記錄生活，撫慰心靈，而且要面對(duì)自我。魯濱孫記日記的行為，表明他作為一個(gè)文明人精神方面的需要，為了使自己的精神有所寄托，減輕心中的苦悶，便于深入思考當(dāng)前的處境。在荒島上，魯濱孫有理由相信上帝的存在（這部作品里多次提到《圣經(jīng)》及魯濱孫對(duì)上帝的祈禱，有了這個(gè)前提，魯濱孫就有了活下去的精神支柱，活的有理由，有意義。

本文沒(méi)有生動(dòng)的故事，作者是通過(guò)心理描寫(xiě)來(lái)刻畫(huà)人物性格表現(xiàn)作品主題的。用第一人稱(chēng)來(lái)寫(xiě)，便于展現(xiàn)“我”的內(nèi)心世界,使作品更具真實(shí)感,縮小了作品和讀者之間的距離。壞處我陷在一個(gè)可怕的荒島上,沒(méi)有重見(jiàn)天日的希望。我現(xiàn)在被剔出來(lái),與世隔絕,困苦萬(wàn)狀。我與人類(lèi)隔絕,仿佛一個(gè)隱士。我沒(méi)有衣服穿。我沒(méi)有抵御野人和野獸襲擊的防御力和手段。我沒(méi)有人可以說(shuō)話,也沒(méi)有人來(lái)解除我的愁?lèi)灐?/p>

好處但我還活著,沒(méi)有想我同船的伙伴們一樣,被水淹死。但我也從全體船員中被剔出來(lái),獨(dú)免一死,上帝既然用神力把我從死亡里救出來(lái),一定也會(huì)救我脫離這個(gè)境地。但我并未因?yàn)闆](méi)有糧食,餓死在這不毛之地。但我是在一個(gè)熱帶氣候里,即使有衣服,也穿不住。但我所流落的島上,沒(méi)有我在非洲看到的那種野獸。假使我在那里覆了舟,我又將怎樣？但上帝卻不可思議把我送到海岸附近,使我可以從里面取出許多有用的東西,使我終身用之不盡。
