格列佛游记读后感英文第2篇：《格列佛游记》英文读后感第3篇：格列佛游记英文读后感Don’t be a Yahoo Originally accomplished by an English writer Jonathan Swift in 1726, and later on adapted for a film by Charles Sturridge and a cartoon by Peter R.Hunt, Gulliver’s Travels is such a famous satirical novel that influences both adults and children.The editionI read is one of the adaptations, published by Oxford University.I was completely absorbed in its fantastically designed plot and the deep meaning it conveys to my mind.The author, Jonathan Swift, is an English satirist, statesman and poet.He was born in a poor family in Ireland and was brought up by his uncle.When he grew up, he became a private secretary in Moore Park with other’s help.The master of the park was an experienced politician and philosopher.There’s no doubt that he gave a huge impact on Swift.During those years, Swift went through so much that after he left the park, he spared no effort to fight for freedom and independence for Irish people.The Gulliver’s Travels, wrote by the year 1726, exposing the darkne of the society at that time.The leading character—Gulliver, who travels to the imaginary lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and the country of the Houyhnhnms, hadexperienced much during the expedition.All of these four voyages brought new opportunities and future to Gulliver’s life, and these are also for satirizing the way of the English.The first voyage is to Lilliput where people are extremely small, so Gulliver is a giant to Lilliputians.Lilliputians seem friendly but actually they are very ridiculous and stupid, the king even wanted to kill Gulliver because he made water to put out a fire to save the queen’s life.The second voyage is to Brobdingnag which is absolutely different from Lilliput.Gulliver is like a Lilliputian in Europe and he began to understand how a very small creature feels before a giant.Luckily, his master is very kind to him.But the king laughed at his country, which is famous for its beautiful places, its brave and honest people and criticized its inhuman, cruel ideas about murdering people.The third voyage is to putans are strange-looking and their main interests are music and mathematics.They pay little attention to others, so it’s very difficult to talk with them.Gulliver also went to the Glubdugdribb and Luggnagg nearby.In a visit to Glubdugdribb, Gulliver was able to call ghosts to answer his questions.In Luggnagg, he learnt something about Stuldbrugs, who are miserable for their long lives with poor heath.The last voyage is to the country of Houyhnhnms, which is controlled by horses.Gulliver felt happy with these sensible, gentle creatures, which never lied or stole, ina country which had no disease, no crime, and no wars.But at last, he had to leave.On returning to England, Gulliver felt disappointed with other humans, including his children and wife.He found himself is so stupid to think that he could bring reason and truth into their lives and thoughts.So he told others to keep away from him.As the narrator said “human are all Yahoos and Yahoos they will remain”.Yahoo, described as an ugly animal, is a reflection of human beings.Yahoos had human faces and they also so violently fond of the pieces of gold or silver that they dig for days to get them out of the ground, and hide them jealously from other yahoos.This is really an action of human.I don’t like people who are always thinking about how to attack other countries and kill tens of thousands of people who have never hurt them.They do these only with the purpose of conquering more lands.As far as I’m concerned, if we think like the horses in Houyhnhnms, don’t let lies, crimes and wars exist, our world would be more beautiful and peaceful.In a word, don’t be a Yahoo!第4篇：格列佛游记英文读后感Gulliver's Travel格列佛游记英文读后感（原创，人格保证）"When bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I perceiveda human not six inches high!" I haven't read this book since I read it as a child, and it was amazing how much of it had stuck with me, and how vividly.Gulliver's Travels is one of the most exciting adventures novels.I like reading the adventure stories ,and I read many books,but Gulliver's Travels is one of the most exciting fantasy adventures ever written.Gulliver's Travels are broken up into four parts.The first two parts are the most famous, where Gulliver visits is a land in which he is a giant and another in which it is filled with giants。
《格列佛游记》英文读后感
《格列佛游记》英文读后感One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whetheron the other hand they are the butt of Swift's satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously. For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos andthey throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some morerational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even moredextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" . As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of CharlesDickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II. Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island. First she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. But when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "As I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr. Pope being fitted by a clothier. She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. My horse sniffed the creature and turned away." It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. But it makes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here: it is the female Houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century England. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse. Gulliver imagines the horse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held Mr. Pope on her back makes me queezy .A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself aprideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee). The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .He has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. Swifts clear implication is that even though the Houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.Throughout Gullivers Travels, the Houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. Though their intent might have been good, they don't know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. They mislead Gulliver and they even mislead themselves. The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born Houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "With this sort of entrance, what must I expect from the rest of my life!" .。

格列佛游记英文读后感 1 Gulliver’s Travel is a fairy tale written by Jonathan Swift. It’s a very interesting story full of imagination. Besides, the description is vivid and appealing, when I read it I feel like I’m traveling with the hero in the story.Jonathan Swift was born in Ireland, but his parents are English. He has written many books such as A Tale of A Tub and The Battle of Books, respectively criticizes and attacks the corruption of religion and prejudice of scholar authority. His Drapier’s letters reveals the attempt of England to destroy the economy of Ireland. For this reason, English government awarded 300pounds for catching Swift. However, nobody in Ireland betrayed him. Swift died in 1745, and he said in his testament that he would give all his property to the charity.Gulliver’s Travels tells a story of Captain Gulliver’s unique experience. Gulliver has a strong desire of traveling around the world since he grew up. However, when he became a captain, he travels not between different countries but between strange places we never imagine.The first time, his boat encountered a storm and he swan to the shore. When he woke up he found himself surrounded by small men later he realized he had come to the country “Liliput”，which was a country of small men. In the country, the people treated him very friendly, they gave him food and drink and wine. He? lived happily and he was nice to them as well. Later, the king asked him to help fight the other country Blefuscu for a very amusing reason: people there break their eggs at the big end while people in Liliput break eggs on the small end. Gulliver helped the king win the battle and soon after that he went home.The second time, he set sail and met a fierce storm again. This time he found a land which was a country named Broadingnag. It was a country of giants. You can guess his whereabouts. The huge people treated him as a pet. They put him on show, give speech and do sword drill, till he was tired out. Later he was sent to the Queen, the Queen liked him very much and had him dine with her everyday. But life was not easy for him. Nevertheless, something interesting happened. When he wanted to read, he had to climb up on the book and walk from left to right to read a line. Imagine that scene I couldn’t help laughing. Another story is playing the piano. He had to strike the keys hard with his first.People comment the book as a satire to England even to the whole Europe. In detail, that is, the first experience use the amusing reason of war to criticize the parties and religion of England, the second experience satirizes the boast and conceit of the whole Europeans. Nevertheless, in my opinion, I only see the vivid portrayal and the interesting imagination. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I read the story and know not so much about the background and situation of the author and his society, but the story really impresses me. I like the exotic experience of Gulliver, and I like Swifer’s imagination. A masterpiece which can influence generation after generation surely has its reason, maybe for the profound understanding of history, maybe for the description of people’s life. This novel may have something to do with sarcasm, but to me, at least by now, is a pure fantasy and a wonderful fairy tale.格列佛游记英文读后感 2 On this holiday, I read a book called Gullivers travels. Theauthor of the book is the best satirical expert and politician in Britain in the early eighteenth Century - Jonathan Swift.The first place in Gullivers adventures was the villain. There he was able to drag the entire naval fleet with one hand, a large number of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and lots of barrels of wine at a meal. In order to send the giant to the capital, he used five hundred craftsmen, countless ropes, nine hundred big men, fifteen thousand big royal horses, and so on. In a small country so that all competition and war inevitably seem small petty.

No wonder our parents and teachers have taught us to be vigilant and not to be deceived. This is very difficult to unite with others, who help others and love others. When I meet someone who is in trouble, I want to lend a helping hand. I hesitate. When someone comes to help me out, I cant accept it. All this makes me feel miserable, contradictory and at a loss what to do. Isnt it sad that it prevents me from "loving" other people and also "missing" other peoples love?I am looking forward to the day when our society is like the kingdom of Hui, the childrens eyes no longer have doubts, and education and reality are united.

This book is a famous satirical novel written by swift, a famous British satirist (I only know this later). When I bought the book, I knew the general contents of the book, because I had read the essence of the book before. There are many fantastic contents in this book. Its clearly a fantasy, but its portrayed so truthfully by the author. It seems that the author has made great efforts in creating this book. This book, written in the first person, describes the fantastic experience of a doctor named Gulliver. The doctor liked to explore the sea, but the bad luck seemed to follow him all the way -the ship capsized, the pirates met, or the crew mutinied. However, due to these misfortunes, he came to four magical islands. On the four islands he came to, either the people on the island were very small, or the people on the island were very big, and there was also an island where there were no people but horses. All in all, these islands are unimaginable. What left me the most profound influence is "Lilliputian country". The people on this island are surprisingly small. High is only as high as one finger. On this island, Gulliver is regarded as a giant. Lilliputian is not a whole, it is divided into many pieces. Like our world, people are divided. As a result, wars are often waged there. Gulliver helped his "King" to defeat the enemy many times and was greatly praised by the king. However, one day, the princesss bedroom caught fire. The fire was very fierce. Gulliver was in a hurry and doused the fire with a bubble of urine. This made the princess very angry. The king read that he was a "meritorious minister" in Gulliver and pardoned his "crime". But the princess kept pestering him and had to put him to death. So, she came up with a vicious idea - now prick Gullivers eyes, and gradually reduce his food until he finally starved to death. Gulliver knew the news. So he took a boat all night and ran away. If Gulliver were me, I would not run away! I would punch the damnedPrincess hundreds of meters, and then throw her into the sea! Kill all those ungrateful people! Even if their "firepower" was no stronger, I would not be subdued. After letting them all pay the price, just leave! In fact, this kind of jealousy also exists in our class - Zhang Tianyis gang beating is a good example - which should be the first in the class, so we were beaten violently. This kind of jealousy should not exist. If I were, I wouldnt plead for the dead midget! Gulliver has also been to the "flying island country", which floats in the air by a large magnet. People on the island are always afraid. What are you afraid of?The earth should be destroyed for various reasons. They are afraid of collision with the earth, rupture of the ozone layer, depletion of the suns energy, expansion of the sun, and swallowing up the earth I think that even if its the end of the world, theres no way for you to avoid it. Since theres no way to avoid it, its better to live happily. Dont think about those things. Thinking about them is consuming your brain cells! And the last island he came to was only horse. The horse here was more spiritual, had its own language, and lived in peace without war. Its very different from the villain in front. This makes the author envious. Its just as good to pretend to be in our world. Unfortunately, it is impossible Gulliver, the doctor, impressed me deeply. His fantastic experience has inspired us a lot and made us understand many things we didnt understand. This book is of great value to watch.格列佛游记英文读后感 6 “Gullivers Travels,” the author of Swift was born in Dublin, Ireland, his father was a British settlement in Ireland.He is a posthumous child, dependent adult by his uncle.His masterpiece “Gullivers Travels,” published in 1726, was regarded as a childrens literary works, but it is actually attacked, the British social degradation and corruption of satirical writing.In this book, write a hero, a surgeon, Gullivers adventures, some of them breathtaking.In Lilliput, he became a monster, invulnerability, a few dozen head of cattle are still Liantun famished stomach;in a giant country, he became a giant peoples dolls, was played in between the palm of your hand, and with flies and bees fight against the child;later, he came to a mysterious flying island, where people use the lower part of the birds natural magnet and bottom magnet under the power of arbitrary move, which was also ready to summon the ghost of a dialogue, specially engaged in some baffling The study of strange countries;also deeply embarrassed the country of the Hui Yin, in the Sagittarius-turvy world, there are many incredible stories.Reading reading, I would like, together with the Gulliver walked into that fantasy world.Of those doll-like villain, the tall and mighty giant, looked like flying fish, island residents and Hui Yin and Yehuda who gave

accomplished by an Englishwriter Jonathan Swift in 1726, and later on adapted for a film by Charles Sturridge and a cartoon by Peter R.Hunt, Gulliver’s Travels is such a famous satirical novel that influences both adults and children.The editionI read is one of the adaptations, published by Oxford University.I was completely absorbed in its fantastically designed plot and the deep meaning it conveys to my mind.The author, Jonathan Swift, is an English satirist, statesman and poet.He was born in a poor family in Ireland and was brought up by his uncle.When he grew up, he became a private secretary in Moore Park with other’s help.The master of the park was an experienced politician and philosopher.There’s no doubt that he gave a huge impact on Swift.During those years, Swift went through so much that after he left the park, he spared no effort to fight for freedom and independence for Irish people.The Gulliver’s Travels, wrote by the year 1726, exposing the darkness of the society at that time.The leading character—Gulliver, who travels to the imaginary lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and the country of the Houyhnhnms, had experienced much during the expedition.All of these four voyages brought new opportunities and future to Gulliver’s life, and these are also for satirizing the way of the English.The first voyage is to Lilliput where people are extremely small, so Gulliver is a giant to Lilliputians.Lilliputians seem friendly but actually they are very ridiculous and stupid, the king even wanted to kill Gulliver because he made water to put out a fire to save the queen’s life.The second voyage is to Brobdingnag which is absolutely different from Lilliput.Gulliver is like a Lilliputian in Europe and he began to understand how a very small creature feels before a giant.Luckily, his master is very kind to him.But the king laughed at his country, which is famous for its beautiful places, its brave and honest people and criticized its inhuman, cruel ideas about murdering people.The third voyage is to putans are strange-looking and their main interests are music and mathematics.They pay little attention to others, so it’s very difficult to talk with them.Gulliver also went to the Glubdugdribb and Luggnagg nearby.In a visit to Glubdugdribb, Gulliver was able to call ghosts to answer his questions.In Luggnagg, he learnt something about Stuldbrugs, who are miserable for their long lives with poor heath.The last voyage is to the country of Houyhnhnms, which is controlled by horses.Gulliver felt happy with these sensible, gentle creatures, which never lied or stole, in a country which had no disease, no crime, and no wars.But at last, he had to leave.On returning to England, Gulliver felt disappointed with other humans, including his children and wife.He found himself is so stupid to think that he could bring reason and truth into their lives and thoughts.So he told others to keep away from him.As the narrator said “human are all Yahoos and Yahoos they will remain”.Yahoo, described as an ugly animal, is a reflection of human beings.Yahoos had human faces and they also so violently fond of the pieces of gold or silver that they dig for days to get them out of the ground, and hide them jealously from other yahoos.This is really an action of human.I don’t like people who are always thinking about how to attack other countries and kill tens of thousands of people who have never hurt them.They do these only with the purpose of conquering more lands.As far as I’m concerned, if we think like the horses in Houyhnhnms, don’t let lies, crimes and wars exist, our world would be more beautiful and peaceful.In a word, don’t be a Yahoo!格列佛游记英文读后感8 My Opinions on Gulliver’s Travels Jonathan Swift Recently I read a novel called “Gulliver’s Travels’.As far as I am concerned, it is a very fantastic book and it gives people an adventurous feeling to read the novel.Before I read the novel, I reallydidn’t know anything about the author of this novel.But after I have read the novel, I learned that the author of this novel is Jonathan Swift, who was born in 1667.According to what I learned from the book,I know the novel through spicy Satires and Humors, quirky imagination and exaggeration, describes the passion for Gulliver’s sailing adventure.In my opinion, there is a certain connection between the background of the novel and the social conditions.Take this novel ,for example, the background of the novel is based on the social reality in England of that time.If I have the chance, I would like to be a man like Gulliver, because I am greatly inspired by his courage.Gulliver is the person, who travels several lands.Today I will share one of his voyages with you.The voyage is to Lilliput.People of the lands of Lilliput are very small, it seems like the ant to us, and so Gulliver in the place is very big.The local people regard him as a monster.From the chapter of the novel, we can learn that people of Lilliput are of great kindness in giving Gulliver food and drink.While he was eating, they had prepared a platform to carry him to the capital city.Five hundred men built a special wooden platform with twenty－two wheels．Nine hundred of the strongest men worked for about three hours to lift him on to the platform．But he has experienced much, not only happy things but also unhappy things.As a reader of this novel, I can imagine how exciting the voyage was through the words written by the author.At last ,I hope I could have the chance to travel the world like Gulliver.I eagerly want to live in a magic land ,I think it must be exciting.In fact ,I more hope our classmates can help and understand each other like characters of the novel.And make our class more harmony ,make us more happy.Thank you!。

Sturridge and a cartoon by Peter R.Hunt, Gulliver’s Travels is such a famous satirical novel that influences both adults and children.The editionI read is one of the adaptations, published by Oxford University.I was completely absorbed in its fantastically designed plot and the deep meaning it conveys to my mind.The author, Jonathan Swift, is an English satirist, statesman and poet.He was born in a poor family in Ireland and was brought up by his uncle.When he grew up, he became a priva te secretary in Moore Park with other’s help.The master of the park was an experienced politician and philosopher.There’s no doubt that he gave a huge impact on Swift.During those years,Swift went through so much that after he left the park, he spared no effort to fight for freedom and independence for Irish people.The Gulliver’s Travels, wrote by the year 1726, exposing the darkness of the society at that time.The leading character—Gulliver, who travels to the imaginary lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and the country of the Houyhnhnms, had experienced much during the expedition.All of these four voyages brought new opportunities and future to Gulliver’s life, and these are also for satirizing the way of the English.The first voyage is to Lilliput where people are extremely small, so Gulliver is a giant to Lilliputians.Lilliputians seem friendly but actually they are very ridiculous and stupid, the king even wanted to kill Gulliver because he made water to put out a fire to save the queen’s life.The s econd voyage is to Brobdingnag which is absolutely different from Lilliput.Gulliver is like a Lilliputian in Europe and he began to understand how a very small creature feels before a giant.Luckily, his master is very kind to him.But the king laughed at his country, which is famous for its beautiful places, its brave and honest people and criticized its inhuman, cruel ideas about murdering people.The third voyage is to putans are strange-looking and their main interests are music and mathematics.They pay little attention to others, so it’s very difficult to talk with them.Gulliver also went to the Glubdugdribb and Luggnagg nearby.In a visit to Glubdugdribb, Gulliver was able to call ghosts to answer his questions.In Luggnagg, he learnt something about Stuldbrugs, who are miserable for their long lives with poor heath.The last voyage is to the country of Houyhnhnms, which is controlled by horses.Gulliver felt happy with these sensible, gentle creatures, which never lied or stole, in a country which had no disease, nocrime, and no wars.But at last, he had to leave.On returning to England, Gulliver felt disappointed with other humans, including his children and wife.He found himself is so stupid to think that he could bring reason and truth into their lives and thoughts.So he told others to keep away from him.As the narrator said “human are all Yahoos and Yahoos they will remain”.Yahoo, described as an ugly animal, is a reflection of human beings.Yahoos had human faces and they also so violently fond of the pieces of gold or silver that they dig for days to get them out of the ground, and hide them jealously from other yahoos.This is really an action of human.I don’t like people who are always thinking about how to attack other countries and kill tens of thousands of people who have never hurt them.They do these only with the purpose of conquering more lands.As far as I’m concerned, if we think like the horses in Houyhnhnms, don’t let lies, crimes and wars exist, our world would be more beautiful and peace ful.In a word, don’t be a Yahoo!第四篇：《格列佛游记》英文读后感One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swift's satire.In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously.For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything.Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return untilthey run away.He says, “I must needs discover some more rational being,” even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is.This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain.But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati.They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people.As Gulliver says, “It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz.T o my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke”.As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful.For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II.Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well.One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island.First she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse.But when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: “As I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr.pope being fitted by a clothier.She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up asacrifice.My horse sniffed the creature and turned away.” It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover.But it makes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here: it is the female Houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century England.The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse.Gulliver imagines the horse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held Mr.pope on her back makes me queezy.A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society.He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water(itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee).The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: “The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan.Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door”.He has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed.Swifts clear implication is that even though the Houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.Throughout Gullivers Travels, the Houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong.Though their intent might have been good, they don't know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride.They mislead Gulliver and they even mislead themselves.The satire on them isparticularly well explained by the new born Houyhnhm who, having just been born, e xclaims, “With this sort of entrance, what must I expect from the rest of my life!”.第五篇：格列佛游记英文读后感Gulliver’s TravelsWhen writing the experience in the country of Houyhnhnms, Jonathan Swift satirizes a lot of hideous phenomena and social figures—lawyers, doctors, chief ministers and noble persons in chapter wyersAt the beginning of this chapter, the author mentions lawyers by using such words--perplex, disquiet, weary and injustice, totally the opposite what a lawyer should be like.When Gulliver tries to describe the reason why they do so many evil things, the horses just can’t understand.Of course, for those civil horses who do things in a manner of justice and law, how can they understand these indecent deeds.The sharp contrast between horses and yahoos strongly satirizes the degenerate society in England at that time, where there was no justice and equality at all.Money was the only thing those people chased throughout their life.Then the author talks about the money, the lust and the exploitati on.By using hyperbole that “This whole globe of earth must be at least three times gone around, before one of our better female Yahoos could get her breakfast, or a cup to put it in” to satire the luxurious rich people’s ruthless persecution on the poor.Here Swift makes a long list of crimes—such as begging, robbing, stealing, by doing which poor people can seek their livelihood, making the life of lower class much more miserable.II.DoctorsIn the following paragraphs, Swift talks about diseases which have killed a large number of people, some even propagating tolater generations.To cure these diseases, a magic tribe emerged.Just as the so-called lawyers Swift mentions at the very beginning, the doctors and their “miraculous” diagnostics follows to be satir ized.In the author’s description, doctors here never fail to predict their patients’ diseases, or they would make their predictions seemingly accurate by all means—deadly poison or something like that.All in all, anyone who has been unluckily sentenced dea th by those doctors will soon die.“They are likewise of special use to husbands and wives who are grown weary of their mates, to eldest sons, to great ministers of state, and often to princes.” In this sentence, here “they” refer to those death-like doctors.With the special help of them, people with some evil thoughts can achieve what they desperately expect.Very cleverly, by criticizing the doctors’ immorality, Swift also satirizes the social ills like disloyalty between couples, betrayals among brothers and offices.III.Chief Ministers In the next paragraph, Swift turns his sharp nib to the chief ministers.Those people are so hypocritical and deceptive that they discard all their human feelings, but to chase power, wealth and titles—as Swift directly points out.No one can guess their true feelings.Here Swift uses several antitheses to show their hypocrisy.Truth for lie;lie as truth.Both praise and deformation are bad omens.What’s more, their promise resembles the curse.Then the author jokingly offers three methods about how to become a chief minister.That’s where the highlight is.“First, by knowing how with prudence todispose of a wife, a daughter, or a sister;the second, by betraying or undermining his predecessor;and the third is, by a furious zeal in public assemblies against the corruptions of the court.” shows that only by betrayal, conspiracy and somethingimmoral can one become a chief minister.“The palace of a ’chief minister’ is a seminary to breed up others in his own trade.” By using metaphor, the author ironically criticizes the English chief ministers, who are dirty and corrupted.IV.Noble PersonsLast but not least, Jonathan Swift reveals the true figures of the nobility.The author takes Gulliver himself—who is much healthier and cleaner than those Yahoos but born the lower class as an example to satire the noble persons.With odious diseases derived from lewd females and terrible personality caused by being spoiled, they regard their unhealthy complexion as grace, and mock those robust persons instead.Their twist and reverse values actually reflect the deformed social value system at that time.Money worship leads them to marry those they don’t love, even to give birth to malformed children.How ridiculous!“Without the consent of this illustrious bod y no law can be made, repealed, or altered, and these have the decision of our possessions without appeal.” At the end of the this part, the author again uses irony to mention that all the society is under the control of those both physically and psychologically ill persons, as implicates that the whole society is in the darkness of sickness.V.ConclusionJonathan Swift is a genius in sarcasm.Reading his novel—Gulliver’s Travels, one can find that every page is filled with his sharp sarcasm and irony.。
《格列佛游记》英文读后感
《格列佛游记》英文读后感After finishing reading Jonathan Swift's masterpiece Gulliver's Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, I was left with a mix of emotions - an intriguing, satirical, and ultimately thought-provoking experience.The novel, first published in 1726, is a classic of English literature and is often considered a satirical commentary on the political and social state of the time. The novel follows the travels of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's doctor, who first visits Lilliput, where he encounters a society of tiny people who have absurd and petty divisions leading to war. He later travels to the land of Brobdingnag, where he meets giants who are kind, generous, and intelligent. In the third part of the book, he visits various societies with bizarre customs such as floating islands inhabited by scholars who are so absorbed in their thoughts that they cannot stand still, and Houyhnhnms, intelligent horses who manage a society of Yahoos, human-like creatures who are as irrational and savage as the beasts.The novel made me laugh out loud of the sheer absurdity of some of the incidents and customs described, but also forced me to confront the dark side of human behavior, particularly the futile nature of war, the pettiness of politics, and the danger oframpant individualism. Most intriguingly, the novel presents a vague and unsettling question; what if the so-called civilized nation is the most uncivilized one? Reflecting on contemporary times, one might refer to the “savage” behavior of countries claiming to be civilized in modern-day conflicts and politics.The concept of the travelogue as a means of satirical commentary was innovative at the time and is still relevant today. Gulliver's Travels may have been written almost 300 years ago, but its relevance to contemporary society is astounding. Moreover, Jonathan Swift's use of humor to denounce social and political behaviors has laid the foundation for many satirical writers who have followed in his footsteps.In conclusion, Gulliver's Travels is a novel that left me feeling both entertained and thoughtful. It challenged my beliefs, made me consider our nature as a society, and opened my mind to ponder satirical writing as a means of social commentary. I would recommend this novel to anyone interested in social and political satire, as well as to anyone looking for an entertaining story that makes them look at the world in a different way.。

格列佛游记观后感英语
格列佛游记观后感英语**Reflections on Gulliver's Travels**As I closed the final page of "Gulliver's Travels," a sense of wonderment and curiosity lingered in my mind. Jonathan Swift's satirical novel, first published in 1726, takes the reader through a series of remarkable adventures in exotic and bizarre lands, all the while commenting on the follies and vices of human nature. What initially seems like a harmless journey of exploration transforms into a profound exploration of society, culture, and human values. The story revolves around Lemuel Gulliver, a doctor by profession who finds himself on a series of extraordinary voyages. Each journey takes him to a different land, each with its own unique set of challenges and lessons. The Lilliputians, for instance, are a race of tiny people who value precision and exactitude above all else, a commentary on the excesses of scientific rationalism. The Brobdingnagians, on the other hand, are giants who emphasize the importance of reason and common sense, mocking the puerility of human vanities.But what struck me the most about this book is itsability to seamlessly blend humor and satire, making its points about society without being too heavy-handed.Swift's use of irony and sarcasm is particularly noteworthy. For instance, when Gulliver is forced to eat the flesh of the Houyhnhnms, a race of horses that represent rationality and wisdom, he experiences a sickening revulsion. This, in turn, comments on our own hypocrisy and willingness to compromise our principles for the sake of convenience or expediency.The book also raises important questions about powerand governance. The Yahoos, a野蛮种族 that resembles humans in appearance but lacks reason, are slaves to the Houyhnhnms. This, Swift seems to suggest, is a commentaryon the oppressive nature of human society and the abuse of power by the ruling elite.In addition to its social and political commentary, "Gulliver's Travels" is also a testament to the power of imagination. Swift's vivid descriptions of the strangelands and creatures he encounters are not just a product of his fertile imagination but also a tool to explore andunderstand the unknown. His ability to create entire worlds and cultures from scratch is truly remarkable.The book's enduring popularity can be attributed to its timeless themes and Swift's unique writing style."Gulliver's Travels" is not just a story about far-off lands and extraordinary adventures; it's also a mirror reflecting our own society and values. It's a book that encourages us to question, to think critically, and to always seek the truth.**《格列佛游记》观后感**读完乔纳森·斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》，我的内心充满了惊奇与好奇。

One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swift's satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously. For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous thanthe Lord Edmund Burke" . As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II. Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island. First she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. But when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "As I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr. Pope being fitted by a clothier. She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. My horse sniffed the creature and turned away." It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. But it makes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here: it is the female Houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century England. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse. Gulliver imagines the horse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held Mr. Pope on her back makes me queezy .A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to betaken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee). The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .He has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. Swifts clear implication is that even though the Houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.Throughout Gullivers Travels, the Houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. Though their intent might have been good, they don't know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. They mislead Gulliver and they even mislead themselves. The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born Houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "With this sort of entrance, what must I expect from the rest of my life!"。

用英语写格列夫游记读后感
用英语写格列夫游记读后感英文回答：Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" is a timeless satirical masterpiece that explores the absurdities and follies of human nature through the extraordinary experiences of its protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver.In the first part of his travels, Gulliver finds himself on the island of Lilliput, inhabited by tiny people who view him as a giant. This encounter serves as a microcosm of human pettiness and hubris, as Gulliver's initial admiration for the Lilliputians turns to disdain and contempt when he realizes their vanity, envy, and irrationality.The second part of Gulliver's travels takes him to Brobdingnag, a land of giants where he is reduced to a mere plaything. This experience forces him to confront his own insignificance and vulnerability, exposing the fragility ofhuman power and the absurdity of the pursuit of grandeur.In the third part, Gulliver encounters the floating island of Laputa, an allegory for the pursuit of knowledge and Enlightenment. Laputa's scientists are so preoccupied with their studies that they ignore the practical concerns of life, a satire on the dangers of excessive intellectualism and the disconnection between academia and the real world.Finally, Gulliver's travels lead him to the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses who rule over the brutish Yahoos, a filthy and savage race that represents the basest aspects of human nature. This encounter challengesGulliver's preconceived notions of human superiority, forcing him to question the true nature of civilization and the potential for human degradation.Throughout his travels, Gulliver encounters a myriad of strange and fantastical creatures, each representing a particular aspect of human folly. From the Struldbrugs, immortal beings cursed with perpetual old age, to theGlubbdubs, who value excrement above all else, Swift'ssatire spares no aspect of human behavior, exposing the absurdity, pettiness, and irrationality that can drive usto both great heights and abysmal depths.中文回答：《格列佛游记》是乔纳森·斯威夫特创作的永恒讽刺杰作，通过其主角莱缪尔·格列佛的非凡经历探索了人性的荒谬性和愚蠢。

格列佛游记英文观后感After reading ＂Gulliver's Travels"， I was deeply impressed by Jonathan Swift's vivid imagination and sharp satire This novel is not just an adventure story but also a profound reflection on human society and human natureThe protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, embarks on several extraordinary voyages, each taking him to a strange and fantastical land In Lilliput, where the people are tiny, he discovers the pettiness and absurdity of power struggles The tiny Lilliputians fight over trivial matters like which end of an egg to break, and this absurdity mirrors the equally petty and often meaningless disputes among humans in our own world Their obsession with power and status, despite their minuscule size, shows that human vices are not dependent on physical stature but are deeply rooted in our natureIn Brobdingnag, the opposite occurs Gulliver is the tiny one among giants Here, Swift contrasts the physical enormity of the Brobdingnagians with their simple, virtuous, and wise nature This contrast makes us question our assumptions about size and significance Are we, in our ＂normal" size, any more intelligent or virtuous than those who are either smaller or larger than us? It forces us to look beyond appearances and consider the true value of wisdom and moralityThe flying island of Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms also offer unique perspectives Laputa represents the absurdity of theoretical knowledge divorced from practical application, and the selfabsorbedintellectuals who float above the realities of life The Houyhnhnms, on the other hand, are noble and rational horses, while the humanlike Yahoos are depicted as brutish and vile This inversion challenges our notions of what it means to be civilized and intelligentSwift's satire is not only humorous but also cutting He uses these fantastical settings and characters to expose the follies and vices of human society, such as war, corruption, greed, and vanity Through Gulliver's experiences, we see how power corrupts, how pride blinds, and how ignorance limits our progressThe book also makes me think about the nature of exploration and discovery Gulliver's travels are not just physical but also intellectual and moral He is constantly challenged by the new and the unfamiliar, and through these challenges, he （and we, the readers) are forced to reevaluate our beliefs and values It reminds us that true exploration is not just about visiting new places but about opening our minds and hearts to new ideas and ways of thinkingIn conclusion, ＂Gulliver's Travels" is a timeless classic that continuesto resonate with readers of all ages It is a reminder of our flaws and potential, and a call to be more critical, more compassionate, and more wise in our dealings with the world and each other It is a book that makes us laugh at the absurdity of human behavior while also encouraging us to strive for betterment Reading it has been a thoughtprovoking and enriching experience that I will carry with me for a long time。
格列佛游记英文读后感
格列佛游记英文读后感篇一：格列佛游记英文读后感One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swift's satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously. For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain.But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" . As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II. Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle ofpetition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island. First she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. But when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "As I watchedin amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr. Pope being fitted by a clothier. She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. My horse sniffed the creature and turned away." It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. But it makes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here: it is the female Houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century England. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse. Gulliver imagines the horse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held Mr. Pope on her back makes me queezy .A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water （itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee）。
格列佛游记英文影评
I want to tread carefully here, and not because I might step on a Lilliputian and squish him. I want to explain who "Gulliver's Travels" is for, and who it might not be for.One person it is definitely for is Gloria DeMent, the 84-year-old grandmother who wrote AP film critic Christy Lemire in horror after spending $96 to take four generations of her family to see "The Nutcracker in 3-D." She wrote: "It broke my heart when we left the theater that my little great-granddaughters (ages 5-13) had sad little, confused faces."Believe me, Auntie Glo, there would have been smiles on those faces after this movie.However, this is not really a movie for Jack Black fans — not the Jack Black of "School of Rock," for sure. They're used to seeing Jack with his shirt off, but to see their bad boy getting tiny cannonballs embedded in his belly may not be what they have in mind, not even when he sticks out his gut and the cannonballs pop out again and demolish an enemy armada.He is standing up to his waist in the ocean at the time. No, not near the shore. Way out where a big enemy navy has massed its warships. Not only is Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) a giant in the land of the Lilliputs, but the sea surrounding their land is apparently Lilliputian as well — about three feet deep, I'd guess, judging by Jack Black's not towering stature.As the film opens, Gulliver is celebrating his 10th year in the mail room of a New York newspaper. He has a crush on Darcy, the travel editor (Amanda Peet), who is a good sport and gives him an assignment to write a piece from Bermuda. He falls asleep on board his speedboat and enters the Bermuda Triangle, which, come to think of it, of course is where Lilliput must be. In the land of these 6-inch people, he awakens to find himself tied down with ropes staked to the ground, which is also what happened in Jonathan Swift's classic, but boy, would Swift not ever recognize the rest of this story. Gulliver soon finds himself not a captive but more like a hero, god, adviser and warrior for the Lilliputians, whose society resembles an Arthurian, not a Swiftian, fantasy. On an island with a seaside castle, they wear the costumes and play the roles of medieval romantic swashbucklery. And they talk the talk. To paraphrase one Lilliputian, "Whyeth musteth we always speaketh with all these eths?"The kingdom centers on the beloved and beautiful Princess Mary (Emily Blunt), and the rivals for her affection: King Theodore (Billy Connolly) and Gen. Edward (ChrisO'Dowd). Lemuel is able to participate in these intrigues by peering over ramparts or taking a seat on battlements. He is about 12 times as tall as they are. I wonder how he can so easily hear their little voices; if he said "speak up!" they'd be blown away. No matter. Darcy, of course, turns up in search of Lemuel, battles wage, tables are turned, romances blossom and so on.It just occurred to me that you may be imagining this is an animated film, and that Jack Black is voicing Lemuel Gulliver. Not at all. This is live action, and despite the 3-D, it'ssorta old-fashioned, not that that's a bad thing. The problem is to contain Lemuel and the Lilliputians in the same frame when he towers over them. It makes for (1) long shots, or (2) shots of Black's enormous face peering at the little folks from over the edge of something. As he stands on the beach with the little fellas, I was immediately reminded of the genie in Michael Powell's masterpiece "The Thief of Bagdad" (1940).I wouldn't describe the special effects as seamless. Far from it. But that brings us back around to our grandmother, Gloria DeMent. Do you think her great-grandchildren are going to be sitting there, saying, "You can see that's done with green screen?" I don't think so. They're gonna be saying, "Thanks, Grandma Glo! This is ever so much better that that scary ‘Nutcracker' movie! There isn't a single Holocaust reference anywhere in it!"Well, in all fairness, the entire Earth is ripped to pieces in a brilliant cartoon that plays before the feature. "Scrat's Continental Crack-Up" stars the manic creature from the "Ice Age" movies, who would destroy the globe to save a nut.。

He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself aprideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee). The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door .He has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. Swifts clear implication is that even though the Houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.Throughout Gullivers Travels, the Houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. Though their intent might have been good, they don't know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. They mislead Gulliver and they even mislead themselves. The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born Houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, With this sort of entrance, what must I expect from the rest of my life! .。
