一堂法文课再普通不过，但这是最后一课。小学教师韩麦尔是再普通不过的教师，小学生弗郎士是再普通不过的学童，欧塞尔老爷爷也是再普通不过的文盲村民。等等，这些极普通人在极普通的小学校上最后一堂法文课．就极不普通了。只因这些普通的自然感情聚在一起．生发出来一种伟大而高尚的情感——爱国精神。《最后一课》表现爱国精神，大多是激昂的：在祖国的危难关头，血性男儿抛头颅洒热血，为国捐躯，何等激昂壮烈！（A French lesson is normal, but it is the last one. The primary student Francis is just an ordinary one. And primary school teacher Hamel is also a common one. The old man Hauser, who was an illiterate villager, was also an ordinary man. However, when these common people gathered to have the last French lesson, nothing was normal at all. These common emotions were pooled to produce the great and lofty patriotism. The Last Lesson presents the positive patriotism. In the dangerous time of the nation, all men were ready to make sacrifice for the nation. ）
