格列佛游记.英文版
简介格列佛于1699年开始第一次旅行,在海上遇到风暴,到了一个叫做利力浦特的国家,那儿的人只有15厘米高。
他后来逃走了,回到家乡。
可是不久又进行下一次旅行,先是到布罗卜丁奈格,然后是勒皮他和拉格奈格,最后到了更为奇怪的慧骃国……作为一个年轻人,格列佛为人类、为他的祖国——英国而自豪。
他在这些奇特的国家旅行,与巨人、魔术师和马交谈,开始时他还为他们的异常主张和奇怪看法感到好笑。
但是随着时光流逝,他开始困惑,扪心自问:“为什么我们人类要进行战争、撒谎、诈骗、互相残杀?难道没有更好的方式生活?”约翰·斯威夫特1667年出生于爱尔兰都柏林,1745年去世。
他的许多书都对当时政治生活进行了猛烈抨击,不过他自己深受人们喜爱。
他把三分之一的钱财用来帮助穷人。
《格列佛游记》是他最有名的作品。
1 A voyage to LilliputI was born in Nottinghamshire and was the third of five sons.My father was not a rich man,but he was able to send me to Cambridge University,where I studied for three years.When I left college,I continued my studies and became a doctor.But I always wanted to travel,and so I made several voyages as a ship's doctor.When I married my wife Mary,however,I planned to stay at home for a while.But aftera few years I discovered I was not earning enough money from my patients.I decided to go to sea again,and this time I joined a ship sailing to the islands in the South Pacific Ocean.We started our journey from Bristol on May 4th,1699.At first our voyage went well.We sailed across the Atlantic,round the coast of Africa and into the Indian Ocean.But before we could reach the Pacific,a violent storm hit us and drove us to the north-west of Tasmania.The wind drove our ship on to a rock,which broke the ship in half.Some of the sailors and I managed to get a boat into the water,and we rowed away to look for land.But when we were too tired to row any more,a great wave hit our small boat,and we all fell into the sea.I do not know what happened to my companions,but I suppose they were all drowned.The wind and waves pushed me along as I struggled to keep my head above water.I became very tired and soon felt I could not swim any more.Luckily,just then my feet touched the ground.I walked out of the sea and on to a beach,where there was no sign of any people or houses.I was so exhausted that I lay down and went to sleep.When I woke up next morning,and tried to get up,I could not move.I was lying on my back and my whole body,my arms and legs were strongly fastened to the ground.Even my hair,which was long and thick,was tied to the ground.The sun began to grow hot,and I was veryuncomfortable.Soon I felt something alive moving along my leg and up my body to my face,and when I looked down,I saw a very small human being,only fifteen centimetres tall.He had a bow and arrow in his hands,and there were forty more of these little men fol-lowing him.I was so surprised that I gave a great shout.They all jumped back,very frightened,and some hurt themselves by falling off my body.Meanwhile,I was struggling to unfas-ten myself,but just as I managed to pull my left arm free of the ropes,I felt a hundred arrows land on my free hand,and more arrows on my face and body.This was very painful,and made me cry aloud.I lay quietly,to see what would happen next.When they saw I was no longer struggling,they quickly built a platform next to my head,and an official climbed up there to speak to me.Although I could not understand his lan-guage,I understood that they would be friendly towards me-if I did not try to harm them.By now I was extremely hungry,so I used sign language to beg the official for food.He seemed to understand me,because immediately ladders were put against my sides and little men climbed up with baskets of food and drink.They were surprised at how much I could eat and drink.In just one mouthful I ate three of their meat dishes and three of their loaves of bread.I drank two of their barrels of wine,and was still thirsty,because that was only half a litre.While they were bringing me food,I wonderedwhether to pick up a handful of the little men and throw them to their death.But I was afraid they would shoot at me again,and anyway I was grateful for their kindness in giving me food and drink,so I did not move.After some time,another official climbed up to the platform and spoke to me.From his signs I understood that they were going to move me.The King of this country(which was called Lilliput)had ordered his people to carry me to the capital city,about a kilometre away.I made signs to ask whether I could be untied,but the official politely refused.While I was eating,a platform had been prepared to carry me.The people of Lilliput,known as the Lilliputians,are very intelligent and clever with their hands.For me,five hun-dred men built a special wooden platform with twenty-two wheels.Nine hundred of the strongest men worked for about three hours to lift me on to the platform,and one thousand five hundred of the King's largest horses(each eleven and a half centimetres high)pulled me to the capital.I did not know about any of this,because they had put a sleeping powder in my wine,and I was in a deep sleep.The King had decided I would stay in the largest available building,just outside the city gates.Its door was only a metre high and half a metre wide,so I could only just get inside on my hands and knees.My guards put ninety-one chains on my left leg,so that I could not escape.Thenthey cut the ropes that tied me and I was able to get to my feet.As I stood up,I heard cries of astonishment all around me.I felt rather miser-able,but at least I could walk about now,in a two-metre cir-cle.I was certainly an interesting sight for the Lilliputians,who had come out of the city in crowds of several thousand to see me.Now I had a good view of the countryside.The fields looked like flowerbeds in a garden,and even the tallest trees were on-ly two metres high.I was soon visited by the King himself.He has a strong,handsome face,and is very popular among his people.He ar-rived with his Queen,his children,and his lords and ladies,all dressed in beautiful gold and silver clothes.In order to make conversation easier,I lay on my side so that my face was close to him.I spoke to him in all the languages I knew,but we still could not understand each other.The King ordered his people to make me a bed,using six hundred Lilliputian beds.It was not very comfortable,but it was better than sleeping on the stone floor.He ordered the crowds of sightseers to go back to their homes,so that the work of the country could continue and I would not be annoyed.For a long time he discussed with his lords in private what should be done with me.I was told all this later by a good friend of mine.Clearly,such a large person could be a danger to his small people.At last it was decided that,as I had behaved so well up to now,I would be kept alive.Food and drink would be brought to me every day from all the vil-lages,six hundred people would be my servants,three hun-dred men would make me a new suit,and six teachers would teach me their language.And so in about three weeks I began to speak the language of Lilliput.The King often visited me,and every time he came,I asked him to take off my chains.He explained that first I must promise not to fight against Lilliput or hurt Lil-liputians,and that I must be searched for weapons.I agreed to both these things and carefully picked up two of his officers in my hands.I put them first in one pocket,then moved them to all my other pockets,except two which I kept secret.As they searched,they wrote down in a notebook details of all the things they found.Afterwards I read some of their report:‘In the second coat pocket we found two very large pieces of wood,and inside them were great pieces of metal,very sharp.In another pocket there was a most wonderful engine,at the end of a long chain.The engine was inside a huge round con-tainer,which was made half of silver and half of another metal.This second metal was very strange as we could see through it to some mysterious writing and pictures.The en-gine made a continuous loud noise.’The officers could not guess what these things were,but they were,of course,my two pocket knives and my watch.They also found my comb,a purse with several gold and silver coins,my gun and bullets.The King wanted to know what the gun was used for.‘Bring it out,’he ordered me,‘and show me how it works.’I took the gun out and put a bullet into it.‘Den't be afraid,’I warned the King.Then I fired the gun into the air.It was the loudest noise the Lilliputians had ever heard.Hundreds of them thought they were dead,and fell down.The King himself was very frightened.As I gave my gun to the officials to keep,I warned them to be careful with it.They allowed me to keep all my other things,and I hoped that one day soon I would be free.2 Life in LilliputI was careful to behave as well as possible,to persuade the King to give me my freedom.Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me the Man-Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand,and from time to time children came to play games in my hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertain-ments,which are greatly enjoyed by him,his family,and his lords and ladies.I was most interested in the rope-dancing.A very thin rope is fixedthirty centimetres above the ground.People who want to become the King's most important officials jump and dance on this rope,and whoever jumps highest with-out falling gets the best job.Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope,to show that they can still do it.This sport is,of course,rather dangerous,and there are occa-sional deaths as a result.It seems a strange way of choosing of-ficials.There was another interesting entertainment.The King holds a stick in front of him,and sometimes moves it up and down.One by one,people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it.They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick.The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time,and he receives a blue ribbon to wear round his waist.The second best receives a red ribbon,and the third best gets a green one.Many of the Lil-liput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.I had cer-tainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.Some days later a strange black thing was seen on the beach where I had first arrived in Lilliput.When the people realized it was not alive,they decided that it must belong to the Man- Mountain,and the King ordered them to bring it to me.I thought I knew what it was.When it arrived,it was rather dirty because it had been pulled along the ground by horses.But I was delighted to see that it was in fact my hat.I had lost it in the sea when swimming away from the ship.I begged the King so often for my freedom that at last he and his lords agreed that I need not be a prisoner any longer.However,I had to promise certain things:·to help the Lilliputians in war and peace·to give two hours’warning before a visit to their capital,so that people could stay indoors·to be careful not to step on any Lilliputians or their animals·to carry important messages for the King if necessary·to help the King's workmen carry heavy stones·to stay in Lilliput until the King allowed me to leave.On his side the King promised I would receive food and drink,enough for 1,724 Lilliputians.I agreed to everything at once.My chains were broken,and I was free at last!The first thing I did was visit the capital city.The people were warned,so that they would not be in danger.I stepped carefully over the city wall,which was less than a metre high,and walked slowly through the two main streets.It is usually a very busy city,with shops and markets full of people,but to-day the streets were empty.There were crowds watching me from every window.In the middle of the city is the King's palace.The King had invited me to enter it,so I stepped over the surrounding wall into the palace garden.But unfortunately the palaceitself has walls a metre and a half high around it.I did not want to damage these walls by trying to climb over them.So I walked carefully back out of the city and into the King's park.Here I cut down several of the largest trees with my knife,and made two wooden boxes.When I returned to the palace with my boxes,I was able to stand on one box on one side of the wall and step on to the other box on the other side.I lay down on the ground and looked through the win-dows,right into the King's rooms.You cannot imagine a more beautiful place to live in.The rooms and furniture are perfect in every detail.As I was looking in,I could see the Queen,surrounded by her lords and ladies.She kindly put her hand ont of the window for me to kiss.I think I should give you some general information about Lilliput.Most Lilliputians are about fifteen centimetres tall.The birds and animals are,of course,much smaller than the people,and the tallest trees are only a little taller than I am.All crimes here are punished.But if someone is accused of a crime and then it is proved that the accuser is lying,the accus-er is immediately killed.Lilliputians believe that there are two sides to the law.Criminals must be punished,but people of good character must be rewarded.So if a man can prove that he has obeyed every law for six years,he receives a present of money from the King.They also believe that any man who is honest,truthful,and good can serve his King and country.It is moreimportant to have a good character than to be clever or intelligent.However,only those who believe in God are al- lowed to be the King’ s officials.Many of their laws and customs are very different from ours,but human nature is the same in every country.The Lil-liputians,like us,have learnt bad ways—choosing officials because they are able to dance on a rope is just one example.Now I shall return to my adventures in Lilliput.About two weeks after my first visit to the capital,I was visited by one of the King’ s most important officials.His name was Reldresal,and he had helped me many times since I had arrived in Lil-liput.I started the conversation.‘I'm so glad they've taken away my chains,’I told him.‘Well,my friend,’he answered,‘let me tell you some-thing.You're only free because the King knows we're in a very dangerous situation.’‘Dangerous?’I cried.‘What do you mean?’‘Lilliput has enemies at home and abroad,’he explained.‘For six years now we've had two political groups,the High-Heels and the Low -Heels.Perhaps the High-Heels were more popular in the past,but as you can see,our present King and all bis officials wear the lowest heels.The two groups hate each other,and a High-Heel will refuse tospeak to a Low-Heel.That's the problem in Lilliput.Now,we're getting in-formation that the people of Blefuscu are going to attack us.Have you heard of Blefuscu?It's an island very near us,almost as large and important as Lilliput.They've been at war with us for three years,you see.’‘But how did this war star t?’I asked.‘Well,you know,of course,that most people used to break their boiled eggs at the larger end.But our King's grandfather once cut a finger while breaking his egg this way,and so his father the King ordered all Lilliputians,from then on,to break the smaller end of their eggs.People who do that are called Small Endians.But Lilliputians feel strongly about this and some Big-Endians have fought angrily against this law.As many as eleven thousand people have been killed because they refused to break their eggs at the smaller end.Some of the Big-Endians have escaped to join our enemies in Blefuscu.The King of Blefuscu has always wanted to defeat Lilliput in war,and now we hear that he's prepared a large number of ships,which will attack us very soon.So you see,my friend,how much our King needs your help,in order to defeat his enemies.’I did not hesitate for a moment.‘Please tell the King,’I answered warmly,‘that l am ready to give my life to save him or his country.’3 Lilliput at warThe island of Blefuscu is only about a kilometre to the north of Lilliput.I knew that just beyond the narrow sea separating the two countries there were at least fifty war-ships ready to attack us,with many other smaller ships.But I kept away from that side of the coast,so that the people of Blefuscu would not see me.I had a secret plan.From the King's workmen I ordered fifty heavy metal hooks,each fastened to a piece of strong rope.I took off my coat and shoes,and walked into the sea with the hooks and ropes in my hands.The water was deep in the middle,so I had to swim for a few metres.But it only took me half an hour to get to Blefuscu.When the Blefuscans saw me,they were so frightened that they jumped out of their ships and swam to the beach.I then used one hook for each ship,and tied all the ropes together at one end.While I was doing this,the enemy shot thousands of arrows at me,which caused me a lot of pain.I was afraid of getting an arrow in my eyes,but I suddenly remembered I still had an old pair of reading glasses in my pocket,so I put them on and continued my work.When I was ready,I started walking into the shallow water away from Blefuscu.As I walked through the waves,I pulled the enemy's warships be-hind me.When the people of Blefuscu realized that all their warships were disappearing,their cries were terrible to hear.As I came nearer to Lilliput,I saw the King and all his lords and ladies standing on the beach.They could only see Blefuscu's warships coming closer,as I was swimming and my head was occasionally under the water.Therefore,they sup-posed that I had drowned,and that the Blefuscan ships were attacking.But when they saw me walking out of the sea,they welcomed me warmly with cries of astonishment and delight.The King himself came down to the water to meet me.‘Everyone in Lilliput is grateful to you!’he cried.‘For your bravery,you will be one of my lords from now on.’‘Thank you,sir,’I replied.‘And now,’he continued,‘go back and steal all the ene-my's ships,so that we can defeat Blefuscu for ever!We'll de-stroy theBig-Endians,and I'll become King of the whole world!’But I would not agree to this plan.‘Sir,’I replied,‘I will never help to take a brave nation's freedom away.Lilliput and Blefuscu should live in peace now.The King could not persuade me,and unfortunately he nev-er forgot that I had refused to do what he wanted.Although I had saved his country from attack by Blefuscan warships,he preferred to remember my refusal.From this time on,I heard from my friends that there were secretconversations in the palace between the King and some of his lords,who were jealous of me.These conversations nearly led to my death in the end.About three weeks later,the King of Blefuscu sent his offi-cials to ask for peace between the two countries.After the Ble-fuscans had arranged everything with the Lilliputian officials,they came to visit me.They had heard how I had prevented the King from destroying all their ships.After thanking me,they invited me to visit their country.However,when I asked the King of Lilliput if I could visit Blefuscu,he agreed,but very coldly.I learnt later that he and some of his lords considered I was wrong to have a conversa-tion with enemies of Lilliput.Now I was beginning to under-stand how difficult and dangerous political life can be.A few days later I had another chance to help the King.I was woken at midnight by the cries of hundreds of Lilliputians outside my house.‘Fire!Fire!’they shouted.‘The Queen's rooms in the palace are burning!Come quickly,Man-Mountain!’So I pulled on my clothes and hurried to the palace.A large part of the building was in flames.People were climbing lad-ders up the walls,and throwing water on the flames,but the fire was burning morestrongly every minute.At least the Queen and her ladies had escaped,but there seemed to be no way of saving this beautiful palace.Suddenly I had an idea.The evening before,I had drunk a lot of good wine,and very luckily I had not made water since then.In three minutes I managed to put out the whole fire,and the lovely old building was safe.I went home without waiting for the King's thanks,because I was not sure what he would say.Although I had certainly saved the palace,I knew it was a crime,punishable by death,to make water anywhere near the palace.I heard later that the Queen was so angry that she refused to enter any of the dam-aged rooms ever again,and promised to take her revenge on me.4 Gulliver escapes from LilliputI soon discovered that Flimnap,one of the King's highest officials,was my secret enemy.He had always disliked me,although he pretended to like me,but now he began to suspect his wife of visiting me privately,and he became jealous.Of course his wife did visit me,but always with her daughters and other ladies who came for regular afternoon vis-its.When visitors arrived at my house,I used to bring the coaches and horses inside,and put them carefully on my table.There was a high edge round the table,so that nobody would fall off.I sat in my chair with my face close to the table,and while I was talking to one group of visitors,the others used to drive round the table.I spent manyhours like this,in very enjoyable conversation.In the end Flimnap realized that his wife was not in love with me,and had not done anything wrong,but he was still angry with me.There were other lords who also disliked me,and together they managed to persuade the King that I was a danger to Lilliput.I knew they were discussing me in private,but I was seriously alarmed when I discovered what they had decided.Luckily,as well as Reldresal,I had another good friend among the King’ s officials.Late one night he visited me secretly,in order to warn me.‘You know,’he began,‘that you've had enemies here for some time.Many of the lords are jealous of your great success against Blefuscu,and Flimnap still hates you.They accuse you of crimes against Lilliput,crimes punishable by death!’‘But…’I cried,‘that's not right!I only want to help Lilliput!’‘Listen,’he said.‘I must tell you what I've h eard,al-though my life is in danger if I do.They've accused you of making water in the King's palace,refusing to take all the en-emy's ships,refusing to destroy all the Big-Endians,seeing the enemy's officials privately,and planning to visit Blefuscu in order to help the enemy against Lilliput.’‘This is unbelievable!’ I cried.‘I must say,’continued my friend,‘that our King remind-ed hislords how much you had helped the country.But your enemies wanted to destroy you,and they suggested setting fire to your house at night.Then you would die in the fire!’‘What!’I shouted angrily.‘Be quiet,nobody must hear us.Anyway,the King decided not to kill you,and that's when your friend Reldresal started speaking He agreed you’d made mistakes,but said that a good King should always be generous,as our King is.And he suggested that a suitable punishment would be for you to lose your sight.You’d still be strong enough to work for us,but you wouldn't be able to help the Big-Endians.’I covered my eyes with my hands.I had wanted to help these people and their King.How could they decide to punish me as cruelly as this?‘Your enemies were most disappointed with Reldresal’ s plan,’my friend went on.‘They said you were a Big—Endi-an in your heart,and reminded the King how much you cost Lilliput in food and drink.Reldresal spoke again,to suggest saving money by giving you a little less food every day.In this way you’d become ill,and in a few months you’d die.And so they all agreed.In three days Reldresal will be sent to explain your punishment to you.He'll inform you that the King has been very kind to you,and that you're lucky to lose only your eyes.You'll be tied dowu,and very sharp arrows will be shot into youreyes.The King's doctors will make sure that you can no longer see.’‘This is terrible news!’ I said,‘but thank you for warning me,my dear friend.’‘You alone must decide what to do,’ he replied,‘and now I must leave you,so that nobody suspects me of warning you.’When I was alone,I thought about the situation for a long time.Perhaps I was wrong,but I could not see that the King was being kind and generous in ordering such an inhuman pun-ishment.What should I do?I could ask for a trial,but I was not confident of the judges’honesty.I could attack the capital and kill all the Lilliputians,but when I remembered the King’ s past kindness to me,I did not want to do that.At last I decided to escape.And so,before Reldresal came to tell me of my punishment,I went to the north of Lilliput,where our ships lay.I took my clothes off and put them into one of the largest warships.I also put a blanket into it.Then I stepped into the sea,and swam to Blefuscu.By pulling the Lilliput warship behind me,I kept my clothes and blanket dry.When I arrived,the King of Blefuscu sent two guides to show me the way to the capital.There I met the King,the Queen and the lords and ladies in their coaches.I explained that I had come to visit Blefuscu,as Ihad been invited.How-ever,I did not say anything about the punishment waiting for me in Lilliput.They welcomed me warmly.That night,as there was no building big enough for me,I slept on the ground,covered by my blanket.It was not as comfortable as my bed in Lilliput,but I did not mind.I did not spend long in Blefuscu.Only three days after my arrival,I noticed a boat in the sea,near the beach.It was a real boat,large enough for me.Perhaps it had been driven there by a storm.I swam out to it and tied ropes to it.Then,with the help of twenty of Blefuscu's ships and three thousand sailors,I pulled it on to the beach.It was not badly damaged,and it was exciting to be able to start planning my journey back to England and my home.During this time,the King of Lilliput had written to ask the King of Blefuscu to send me back,as a prisoner,so that I could receive my punishment.The King of Blefuscu,however,replied that I was too strong to be taken prisoner,and that I would soon be returning to my country anyway.Secretly he invited me to stay and help him in Blefuscu,but I no longer believed in the promises of kings or their officials,so I politely refused.I was now impatient to start my voyage home,and the King ordered his workmen to repair the boat and prepare everything I needed.I had the meat of one hundred cattle and three hun-dred sheep to eat on thejourney,and I also had some live ani-mals to show to my friends in England.About one month later,I left Blefuscu,on September 24th,1701.The King,the Queen and their lords and ladies all came down to the beach to wave goodbye.After sailing all day,I reached a small island,where I slept that night.On the third day,September 26th,I saw a sail,and was delighted to discover that it was an English ship,on its way home to England.The captain picked me up,and I told him my story.At first he thought I was mad,but when I took the live animals out of my pocket to show him,he be-lieved me.We arrived home at last on April 13th,1702,and I saw my dear wife and children again.At first I was delighted to be at home again.I earned quite a lot of money by showing my Lil-liputian animals to people,and in the end I sold them for a high price.But as the days passed,I became restless,and wanted to see more of the world.And so,only two months later,I said goodbye to my family and sailed away again.5 A voyage to BrobdingnagI left Bristol on June 20th,1702,in a ship which was sailing to India.We had good sailing weather until we reached the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa,where we landed to get fresh water.We had tostay there for the winter,however,because the ship needed repairs and the captain was ill.In the spring we left Africa and sailed round the island of Madagascar into the Indian Ocean.But on 19th April the wind began to blow very violently from the west,and we were driv-en to the east of the Molucca Islands.On 2nd May the wind stopped blowing and the sea was calm.But our captain,who knew that part of the world very well,warned us that there would be a storm the next day.So we prepared the ship as well as we could,and waited.The captain was right.On 3rd May the wind began to get stronger.It was a wild,dangerous wind,blowing from the south this time.We had to take down our sails as the storm hit our ship.Huge waves crashed down on to us,and the wind drove our helpless ship eastwards into.the Pacific Ocean.For several days we struggled with the wind and waves,but at last the storm died away and the sea was calm again.Luckily,our ship was not badly damaged,but we had been driven over two thousand kilometres to the east.None of us knew exactly where we were,so the captain decided to contin-ue sailing eastwards,where we had never been before.We sailed on for another two weeks.Finally,on 16th June,1703,we saw a large island with a small piece of land joined to it.I later discovered that this country was called Brobdingnag.The captain sent some of his sailors in a boat to land there。

导语:
作家往往通过自己的作品来表达自己对 人生,对现实的一些看法和理想。例如, “世外桃源”就是陶渊明的理想国。在《格 列佛游记》的前两卷,我们读出了斯威夫特 对现实中的英国社会的厌憎,那么他理想当 中的国度应该是什么样子的呢?在三、四卷 里,他告诉我们了吗?
(设计意图:引导学生理解作者虚构慧马国的意义, 以便于对作品现实意义的把握。)

格列佛游记主要人物及事件
《格列佛游记》是英国作家乔纳森·斯威夫特(又译为江奈生·斯威夫特)创作的一部寓言小说,主要人物和事件如下:
1. 主人公:里梅尔·格列佛(Lemuel Gulliver),一名英国外科医生,后来成为船长。
他是个受过良好教育、为祖国自豪的人,在职业和政治两方面似乎都颇有见识。
然而,他本质上是一个平庸的人,作者通过他的视角来展现各种讽刺和批判。
2. 小人国(利立浦特):游记第一卷描绘了格列佛在小人国的经历。

格列佛游记故事梗概
《格列佛游记》(光泽县整理)一、主要内容:讲述的是英国船医格列佛因海难等原因流落到小人国、大人国、飞岛国以及马国等地的经历。
二、内容简介:第一卷利里浦特游记(小人国游记)1699年5月4日,我(格列佛)接受“羚羊号”船主威廉·普利查的高薪聘请,在船上当外科医生。
当时我正要到南太平洋一带去航海。
最初的航行很顺利,但在往东印度群岛的途中,一阵突如其来的强风把我们刮到了另一个方向,船又撞上礁石,一下就粉身碎骨,我们全掉到海里。
我死里逃生,漂到利里浦特(小人国),被小人捆住。
利里浦特人用专车把体积巨大的我运到京城献给国王,我的出现几乎吸引了小人国所有的人。
皇帝担心我的伙食费用太大,可能会引起饥荒,一度决定杀死我,但又怕我庞大的尸体散发的臭气可能会造成瘟疫。
经过观察,他们觉得我温和善良,我的表现逐渐赢得了国王和人民对我的好感,我也渐渐熟悉了小人国的风俗习惯。
一天,皇帝招待我观看他们国内的几种表演。
我最喜欢的是“绳上跳舞”。
他们在离地十二英寸高的地方悬一根两英尺长的细绳,由那些希望得到皇帝宠幸或盼着候补朝中重要官职的人来表演。
谁跳的最高,而且没有跌下来,就接任这一官职。
大官们常常表演这种技艺以获得皇帝的恩宠。
朝中大臣一致认为财政大臣佛林奈浦的技术最高。
但这种表演具有很大的危险性。
还有一种游戏很有趣。
皇帝手拿一根棍子,与地面平行,官员们依次跑上前去根据棍子的上升或下降爬跃腾闪,谁的动作最敏捷,跳来爬去的时间最长,就赐他一根蓝丝线;第二名赏给红丝线;第三名赏绿丝线。
得了赏赐的都把丝线缠在腰间。
内务大臣找我商谈要事,他告诉我朝廷正处于内忧外患。
内忧在于国内党派之争日益激烈。
大臣们根据鞋跟高低分为高跟党和低跟党。
皇帝倾向于低跟党,但皇太子有些骑墙,他的鞋跟一个高,一个低。
外患在于另一小人国不来夫斯古帝国又大举入侵,目前两国已苦战三十六个月了。
战端的产生是由于对吃鸡蛋时先打破大端还是小端一事争执不下。
利里浦特皇上的祖父当年吃鸡蛋打破大端时不留神割伤了手,就颁布圣旨命令全体臣民吃蛋时要先打破小端,违者重罚。

格列佛游记.英文版
简介格列佛于1699年开始第一次旅行,在海上遇到风暴,到了一个叫做利力浦特的国家,那儿的人只有15厘米高。
他后来逃走了,回到家乡。
可是不久又进行下一次旅行,先是到布罗卜丁奈格,然后是勒皮他和拉格奈格,最后到了更为奇怪的慧骃国……作为一个年轻人,格列佛为人类、为他的祖国——英国而自豪。
他在这些奇特的国家旅行,与巨人、魔术师和马交谈,开始时他还为他们的异常主张和奇怪看法感到好笑。
但是随着时光流逝,他开始困惑,扪心自问:“为什么我们人类要进行战争、撒谎、诈骗、互相残杀?难道没有更好的方式生活?”约翰·斯威夫特1667年出生于爱尔兰都柏林,1745年去世。
他的许多书都对当时政治生活进行了猛烈抨击,不过他自己深受人们喜爱。
他把三分之一的钱财用来帮助穷人。
《格列佛游记》是他最有名的作品。
1 A voyage to LilliputI was born in Nottinghamshire and was the third of five sons.My father was not a rich man,but he was able to send me to Cambridge University,where I studied for three years.When I left college,I continued my studies and became a doctor.But I always wanted to travel,and so I made several voyages as a ship's doctor.When I married my wife Mary,however,I planned to stay at home for a while.But aftera few years I discovered I was not earning enough money from my patients.I decided to go to sea again,and this time I joined a ship sailing to the islands in the South Pacific Ocean.We started our journey from Bristol on May 4th,1699.At first our voyage went well.We sailed across the Atlantic,round the coast of Africa and into the Indian Ocean.But before we could reach the Pacific,a violent storm hit us and drove us to the north-west of Tasmania.The wind drove our ship on to a rock,which broke the ship in half.Some of the sailors and I managed to get a boat into the water,and we rowed away to look for land.But when we were too tired to row any more,a great wave hit our small boat,and we all fell into the sea.I do not know what happened to my companions,but I suppose they were all drowned.The wind and waves pushed me along as I struggled to keep my head above water.I became very tired and soon felt I could not swim any more.Luckily,just then my feet touched the ground.I walked out of the sea and on to a beach,where there was no sign of any people or houses.I was so exhausted that I lay down and went to sleep.When I woke up next morning,and tried to get up,I could not move.I was lying on my back and my whole body,my arms and legs were strongly fastened to the ground.Even my hair,which was long and thick,was tied to the ground.The sun began to grow hot,and I was veryuncomfortable.Soon I felt something alive moving along my leg and up my body to my face,and when I looked down,I saw a very small human being,only fifteen centimetres tall.He had a bow and arrow in his hands,and there were forty more of these little men fol-lowing him.I was so surprised that I gave a great shout.They all jumped back,very frightened,and some hurt themselves by falling off my body.Meanwhile,I was struggling to unfas-ten myself,but just as I managed to pull my left arm free of the ropes,I felt a hundred arrows land on my free hand,and more arrows on my face and body.This was very painful,and made me cry aloud.I lay quietly,to see what would happen next.When they saw I was no longer struggling,they quickly built a platform next to my head,and an official climbed up there to speak to me.Although I could not understand his lan-guage,I understood that they would be friendly towards me-if I did not try to harm them.By now I was extremely hungry,so I used sign language to beg the official for food.He seemed to understand me,because immediately ladders were put against my sides and little men climbed up with baskets of food and drink.They were surprised at how much I could eat and drink.In just one mouthful I ate three of their meat dishes and three of their loaves of bread.I drank two of their barrels of wine,and was still thirsty,because that was only half a litre.While they were bringing me food,I wonderedwhether to pick up a handful of the little men and throw them to their death.But I was afraid they would shoot at me again,and anyway I was grateful for their kindness in giving me food and drink,so I did not move.After some time,another official climbed up to the platform and spoke to me.From his signs I understood that they were going to move me.The King of this country(which was called Lilliput)had ordered his people to carry me to the capital city,about a kilometre away.I made signs to ask whether I could be untied,but the official politely refused.While I was eating,a platform had been prepared to carry me.The people of Lilliput,known as the Lilliputians,are very intelligent and clever with their hands.For me,five hun-dred men built a special wooden platform with twenty-two wheels.Nine hundred of the strongest men worked for about three hours to lift me on to the platform,and one thousand five hundred of the King's largest horses(each eleven and a half centimetres high)pulled me to the capital.I did not know about any of this,because they had put a sleeping powder in my wine,and I was in a deep sleep.The King had decided I would stay in the largest available building,just outside the city gates.Its door was only a metre high and half a metre wide,so I could only just get inside on my hands and knees.My guards put ninety-one chains on my left leg,so that I could not escape.Thenthey cut the ropes that tied me and I was able to get to my feet.As I stood up,I heard cries of astonishment all around me.I felt rather miser-able,but at least I could walk about now,in a two-metre cir-cle.I was certainly an interesting sight for the Lilliputians,who had come out of the city in crowds of several thousand to see me.Now I had a good view of the countryside.The fields looked like flowerbeds in a garden,and even the tallest trees were on-ly two metres high.I was soon visited by the King himself.He has a strong,handsome face,and is very popular among his people.He ar-rived with his Queen,his children,and his lords and ladies,all dressed in beautiful gold and silver clothes.In order to make conversation easier,I lay on my side so that my face was close to him.I spoke to him in all the languages I knew,but we still could not understand each other.The King ordered his people to make me a bed,using six hundred Lilliputian beds.It was not very comfortable,but it was better than sleeping on the stone floor.He ordered the crowds of sightseers to go back to their homes,so that the work of the country could continue and I would not be annoyed.For a long time he discussed with his lords in private what should be done with me.I was told all this later by a good friend of mine.Clearly,such a large person could be a danger to his small people.At last it was decided that,as I had behaved so well up to now,I would be kept alive.Food and drink would be brought to me every day from all the vil-lages,six hundred people would be my servants,three hun-dred men would make me a new suit,and six teachers would teach me their language.And so in about three weeks I began to speak the language of Lilliput.The King often visited me,and every time he came,I asked him to take off my chains.He explained that first I must promise not to fight against Lilliput or hurt Lil-liputians,and that I must be searched for weapons.I agreed to both these things and carefully picked up two of his officers in my hands.I put them first in one pocket,then moved them to all my other pockets,except two which I kept secret.As they searched,they wrote down in a notebook details of all the things they found.Afterwards I read some of their report:‘In the second coat pocket we found two very large pieces of wood,and inside them were great pieces of metal,very sharp.In another pocket there was a most wonderful engine,at the end of a long chain.The engine was inside a huge round con-tainer,which was made half of silver and half of another metal.This second metal was very strange as we could see through it to some mysterious writing and pictures.The en-gine made a continuous loud noise.’The officers could not guess what these things were,but they were,of course,my two pocket knives and my watch.They also found my comb,a purse with several gold and silver coins,my gun and bullets.The King wanted to know what the gun was used for.‘Bring it out,’he ordered me,‘and show me how it works.’I took the gun out and put a bullet into it.‘Den't be afraid,’I warned the King.Then I fired the gun into the air.It was the loudest noise the Lilliputians had ever heard.Hundreds of them thought they were dead,and fell down.The King himself was very frightened.As I gave my gun to the officials to keep,I warned them to be careful with it.They allowed me to keep all my other things,and I hoped that one day soon I would be free.2 Life in LilliputI was careful to behave as well as possible,to persuade the King to give me my freedom.Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me the Man-Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand,and from time to time children came to play games in my hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertain-ments,which are greatly enjoyed by him,his family,and his lords and ladies.I was most interested in the rope-dancing.A very thin rope is fixedthirty centimetres above the ground.People who want to become the King's most important officials jump and dance on this rope,and whoever jumps highest with-out falling gets the best job.Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope,to show that they can still do it.This sport is,of course,rather dangerous,and there are occa-sional deaths as a result.It seems a strange way of choosing of-ficials.There was another interesting entertainment.The King holds a stick in front of him,and sometimes moves it up and down.One by one,people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it.They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick.The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time,and he receives a blue ribbon to wear round his waist.The second best receives a red ribbon,and the third best gets a green one.Many of the Lil-liput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.I had cer-tainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.Some days later a strange black thing was seen on the beach where I had first arrived in Lilliput.When the people realized it was not alive,they decided that it must belong to the Man- Mountain,and the King ordered them to bring it to me.I thought I knew what it was.When it arrived,it was rather dirty because it had been pulled along the ground by horses.But I was delighted to see that it was in fact my hat.I had lost it in the sea when swimming away from the ship.I begged the King so often for my freedom that at last he and his lords agreed that I need not be a prisoner any longer.However,I had to promise certain things:·to help the Lilliputians in war and peace·to give two hours’warning before a visit to their capital,so that people could stay indoors·to be careful not to step on any Lilliputians or their animals·to carry important messages for the King if necessary·to help the King's workmen carry heavy stones·to stay in Lilliput until the King allowed me to leave.On his side the King promised I would receive food and drink,enough for 1,724 Lilliputians.I agreed to everything at once.My chains were broken,and I was free at last!The first thing I did was visit the capital city.The people were warned,so that they would not be in danger.I stepped carefully over the city wall,which was less than a metre high,and walked slowly through the two main streets.It is usually a very busy city,with shops and markets full of people,but to-day the streets were empty.There were crowds watching me from every window.In the middle of the city is the King's palace.The King had invited me to enter it,so I stepped over the surrounding wall into the palace garden.But unfortunately the palaceitself has walls a metre and a half high around it.I did not want to damage these walls by trying to climb over them.So I walked carefully back out of the city and into the King's park.Here I cut down several of the largest trees with my knife,and made two wooden boxes.When I returned to the palace with my boxes,I was able to stand on one box on one side of the wall and step on to the other box on the other side.I lay down on the ground and looked through the win-dows,right into the King's rooms.You cannot imagine a more beautiful place to live in.The rooms and furniture are perfect in every detail.As I was looking in,I could see the Queen,surrounded by her lords and ladies.She kindly put her hand ont of the window for me to kiss.I think I should give you some general information about Lilliput.Most Lilliputians are about fifteen centimetres tall.The birds and animals are,of course,much smaller than the people,and the tallest trees are only a little taller than I am.All crimes here are punished.But if someone is accused of a crime and then it is proved that the accuser is lying,the accus-er is immediately killed.Lilliputians believe that there are two sides to the law.Criminals must be punished,but people of good character must be rewarded.So if a man can prove that he has obeyed every law for six years,he receives a present of money from the King.They also believe that any man who is honest,truthful,and good can serve his King and country.It is moreimportant to have a good character than to be clever or intelligent.However,only those who believe in God are al- lowed to be the King’ s officials.Many of their laws and customs are very different from ours,but human nature is the same in every country.The Lil-liputians,like us,have learnt bad ways—choosing officials because they are able to dance on a rope is just one example.Now I shall return to my adventures in Lilliput.About two weeks after my first visit to the capital,I was visited by one of the King’ s most important officials.His name was Reldresal,and he had helped me many times since I had arrived in Lil-liput.I started the conversation.‘I'm so glad they've taken away my chains,’I told him.‘Well,my friend,’he answered,‘let me tell you some-thing.You're only free because the King knows we're in a very dangerous situation.’‘Dangerous?’I cried.‘What do you mean?’‘Lilliput has enemies at home and abroad,’he explained.‘For six years now we've had two political groups,the High-Heels and the Low -Heels.Perhaps the High-Heels were more popular in the past,but as you can see,our present King and all bis officials wear the lowest heels.The two groups hate each other,and a High-Heel will refuse tospeak to a Low-Heel.That's the problem in Lilliput.Now,we're getting in-formation that the people of Blefuscu are going to attack us.Have you heard of Blefuscu?It's an island very near us,almost as large and important as Lilliput.They've been at war with us for three years,you see.’‘But how did this war star t?’I asked.‘Well,you know,of course,that most people used to break their boiled eggs at the larger end.But our King's grandfather once cut a finger while breaking his egg this way,and so his father the King ordered all Lilliputians,from then on,to break the smaller end of their eggs.People who do that are called Small Endians.But Lilliputians feel strongly about this and some Big-Endians have fought angrily against this law.As many as eleven thousand people have been killed because they refused to break their eggs at the smaller end.Some of the Big-Endians have escaped to join our enemies in Blefuscu.The King of Blefuscu has always wanted to defeat Lilliput in war,and now we hear that he's prepared a large number of ships,which will attack us very soon.So you see,my friend,how much our King needs your help,in order to defeat his enemies.’I did not hesitate for a moment.‘Please tell the King,’I answered warmly,‘that l am ready to give my life to save him or his country.’3 Lilliput at warThe island of Blefuscu is only about a kilometre to the north of Lilliput.I knew that just beyond the narrow sea separating the two countries there were at least fifty war-ships ready to attack us,with many other smaller ships.But I kept away from that side of the coast,so that the people of Blefuscu would not see me.I had a secret plan.From the King's workmen I ordered fifty heavy metal hooks,each fastened to a piece of strong rope.I took off my coat and shoes,and walked into the sea with the hooks and ropes in my hands.The water was deep in the middle,so I had to swim for a few metres.But it only took me half an hour to get to Blefuscu.When the Blefuscans saw me,they were so frightened that they jumped out of their ships and swam to the beach.I then used one hook for each ship,and tied all the ropes together at one end.While I was doing this,the enemy shot thousands of arrows at me,which caused me a lot of pain.I was afraid of getting an arrow in my eyes,but I suddenly remembered I still had an old pair of reading glasses in my pocket,so I put them on and continued my work.When I was ready,I started walking into the shallow water away from Blefuscu.As I walked through the waves,I pulled the enemy's warships be-hind me.When the people of Blefuscu realized that all their warships were disappearing,their cries were terrible to hear.As I came nearer to Lilliput,I saw the King and all his lords and ladies standing on the beach.They could only see Blefuscu's warships coming closer,as I was swimming and my head was occasionally under the water.Therefore,they sup-posed that I had drowned,and that the Blefuscan ships were attacking.But when they saw me walking out of the sea,they welcomed me warmly with cries of astonishment and delight.The King himself came down to the water to meet me.‘Everyone in Lilliput is grateful to you!’he cried.‘For your bravery,you will be one of my lords from now on.’‘Thank you,sir,’I replied.‘And now,’he continued,‘go back and steal all the ene-my's ships,so that we can defeat Blefuscu for ever!We'll de-stroy theBig-Endians,and I'll become King of the whole world!’But I would not agree to this plan.‘Sir,’I replied,‘I will never help to take a brave nation's freedom away.Lilliput and Blefuscu should live in peace now.The King could not persuade me,and unfortunately he nev-er forgot that I had refused to do what he wanted.Although I had saved his country from attack by Blefuscan warships,he preferred to remember my refusal.From this time on,I heard from my friends that there were secretconversations in the palace between the King and some of his lords,who were jealous of me.These conversations nearly led to my death in the end.About three weeks later,the King of Blefuscu sent his offi-cials to ask for peace between the two countries.After the Ble-fuscans had arranged everything with the Lilliputian officials,they came to visit me.They had heard how I had prevented the King from destroying all their ships.After thanking me,they invited me to visit their country.However,when I asked the King of Lilliput if I could visit Blefuscu,he agreed,but very coldly.I learnt later that he and some of his lords considered I was wrong to have a conversa-tion with enemies of Lilliput.Now I was beginning to under-stand how difficult and dangerous political life can be.A few days later I had another chance to help the King.I was woken at midnight by the cries of hundreds of Lilliputians outside my house.‘Fire!Fire!’they shouted.‘The Queen's rooms in the palace are burning!Come quickly,Man-Mountain!’So I pulled on my clothes and hurried to the palace.A large part of the building was in flames.People were climbing lad-ders up the walls,and throwing water on the flames,but the fire was burning morestrongly every minute.At least the Queen and her ladies had escaped,but there seemed to be no way of saving this beautiful palace.Suddenly I had an idea.The evening before,I had drunk a lot of good wine,and very luckily I had not made water since then.In three minutes I managed to put out the whole fire,and the lovely old building was safe.I went home without waiting for the King's thanks,because I was not sure what he would say.Although I had certainly saved the palace,I knew it was a crime,punishable by death,to make water anywhere near the palace.I heard later that the Queen was so angry that she refused to enter any of the dam-aged rooms ever again,and promised to take her revenge on me.4 Gulliver escapes from LilliputI soon discovered that Flimnap,one of the King's highest officials,was my secret enemy.He had always disliked me,although he pretended to like me,but now he began to suspect his wife of visiting me privately,and he became jealous.Of course his wife did visit me,but always with her daughters and other ladies who came for regular afternoon vis-its.When visitors arrived at my house,I used to bring the coaches and horses inside,and put them carefully on my table.There was a high edge round the table,so that nobody would fall off.I sat in my chair with my face close to the table,and while I was talking to one group of visitors,the others used to drive round the table.I spent manyhours like this,in very enjoyable conversation.In the end Flimnap realized that his wife was not in love with me,and had not done anything wrong,but he was still angry with me.There were other lords who also disliked me,and together they managed to persuade the King that I was a danger to Lilliput.I knew they were discussing me in private,but I was seriously alarmed when I discovered what they had decided.Luckily,as well as Reldresal,I had another good friend among the King’ s officials.Late one night he visited me secretly,in order to warn me.‘You know,’he began,‘that you've had enemies here for some time.Many of the lords are jealous of your great success against Blefuscu,and Flimnap still hates you.They accuse you of crimes against Lilliput,crimes punishable by death!’‘But…’I cried,‘that's not right!I only want to help Lilliput!’‘Listen,’he said.‘I must tell you what I've h eard,al-though my life is in danger if I do.They've accused you of making water in the King's palace,refusing to take all the en-emy's ships,refusing to destroy all the Big-Endians,seeing the enemy's officials privately,and planning to visit Blefuscu in order to help the enemy against Lilliput.’‘This is unbelievable!’ I cried.‘I must say,’continued my friend,‘that our King remind-ed hislords how much you had helped the country.But your enemies wanted to destroy you,and they suggested setting fire to your house at night.Then you would die in the fire!’‘What!’I shouted angrily.‘Be quiet,nobody must hear us.Anyway,the King decided not to kill you,and that's when your friend Reldresal started speaking He agreed you’d made mistakes,but said that a good King should always be generous,as our King is.And he suggested that a suitable punishment would be for you to lose your sight.You’d still be strong enough to work for us,but you wouldn't be able to help the Big-Endians.’I covered my eyes with my hands.I had wanted to help these people and their King.How could they decide to punish me as cruelly as this?‘Your enemies were most disappointed with Reldresal’ s plan,’my friend went on.‘They said you were a Big—Endi-an in your heart,and reminded the King how much you cost Lilliput in food and drink.Reldresal spoke again,to suggest saving money by giving you a little less food every day.In this way you’d become ill,and in a few months you’d die.And so they all agreed.In three days Reldresal will be sent to explain your punishment to you.He'll inform you that the King has been very kind to you,and that you're lucky to lose only your eyes.You'll be tied dowu,and very sharp arrows will be shot into youreyes.The King's doctors will make sure that you can no longer see.’‘This is terrible news!’ I said,‘but thank you for warning me,my dear friend.’‘You alone must decide what to do,’ he replied,‘and now I must leave you,so that nobody suspects me of warning you.’When I was alone,I thought about the situation for a long time.Perhaps I was wrong,but I could not see that the King was being kind and generous in ordering such an inhuman pun-ishment.What should I do?I could ask for a trial,but I was not confident of the judges’honesty.I could attack the capital and kill all the Lilliputians,but when I remembered the King’ s past kindness to me,I did not want to do that.At last I decided to escape.And so,before Reldresal came to tell me of my punishment,I went to the north of Lilliput,where our ships lay.I took my clothes off and put them into one of the largest warships.I also put a blanket into it.Then I stepped into the sea,and swam to Blefuscu.By pulling the Lilliput warship behind me,I kept my clothes and blanket dry.When I arrived,the King of Blefuscu sent two guides to show me the way to the capital.There I met the King,the Queen and the lords and ladies in their coaches.I explained that I had come to visit Blefuscu,as Ihad been invited.How-ever,I did not say anything about the punishment waiting for me in Lilliput.They welcomed me warmly.That night,as there was no building big enough for me,I slept on the ground,covered by my blanket.It was not as comfortable as my bed in Lilliput,but I did not mind.I did not spend long in Blefuscu.Only three days after my arrival,I noticed a boat in the sea,near the beach.It was a real boat,large enough for me.Perhaps it had been driven there by a storm.I swam out to it and tied ropes to it.Then,with the help of twenty of Blefuscu's ships and three thousand sailors,I pulled it on to the beach.It was not badly damaged,and it was exciting to be able to start planning my journey back to England and my home.During this time,the King of Lilliput had written to ask the King of Blefuscu to send me back,as a prisoner,so that I could receive my punishment.The King of Blefuscu,however,replied that I was too strong to be taken prisoner,and that I would soon be returning to my country anyway.Secretly he invited me to stay and help him in Blefuscu,but I no longer believed in the promises of kings or their officials,so I politely refused.I was now impatient to start my voyage home,and the King ordered his workmen to repair the boat and prepare everything I needed.I had the meat of one hundred cattle and three hun-dred sheep to eat on thejourney,and I also had some live ani-mals to show to my friends in England.About one month later,I left Blefuscu,on September 24th,1701.The King,the Queen and their lords and ladies all came down to the beach to wave goodbye.After sailing all day,I reached a small island,where I slept that night.On the third day,September 26th,I saw a sail,and was delighted to discover that it was an English ship,on its way home to England.The captain picked me up,and I told him my story.At first he thought I was mad,but when I took the live animals out of my pocket to show him,he be-lieved me.We arrived home at last on April 13th,1702,and I saw my dear wife and children again.At first I was delighted to be at home again.I earned quite a lot of money by showing my Lil-liputian animals to people,and in the end I sold them for a high price.But as the days passed,I became restless,and wanted to see more of the world.And so,only two months later,I said goodbye to my family and sailed away again.5 A voyage to BrobdingnagI left Bristol on June 20th,1702,in a ship which was sailing to India.We had good sailing weather until we reached the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa,where we landed to get fresh water.We had tostay there for the winter,however,because the ship needed repairs and the captain was ill.In the spring we left Africa and sailed round the island of Madagascar into the Indian Ocean.But on 19th April the wind began to blow very violently from the west,and we were driv-en to the east of the Molucca Islands.On 2nd May the wind stopped blowing and the sea was calm.But our captain,who knew that part of the world very well,warned us that there would be a storm the next day.So we prepared the ship as well as we could,and waited.The captain was right.On 3rd May the wind began to get stronger.It was a wild,dangerous wind,blowing from the south this time.We had to take down our sails as the storm hit our ship.Huge waves crashed down on to us,and the wind drove our helpless ship eastwards into.the Pacific Ocean.For several days we struggled with the wind and waves,but at last the storm died away and the sea was calm again.Luckily,our ship was not badly damaged,but we had been driven over two thousand kilometres to the east.None of us knew exactly where we were,so the captain decided to contin-ue sailing eastwards,where we had never been before.We sailed on for another two weeks.Finally,on 16th June,1703,we saw a large island with a small piece of land joined to it.I later discovered that this country was called Brobdingnag.The captain sent some of his sailors in a boat to land there。

格列佛游记简介英语作文
格列佛游记简介"Gulliver's Travels" is a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift, first published in 1726. The work is a collection of voyages and adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon and naturalist. Through his extraordinary journeys to far-flung lands, Swift mocks and criticizes the vices andfollies of human society, particularly those of the English society of his time.Gulliver's first voyage takes him to the island of Lilliput, where he is captured and becomes a giant in the eyes of the tiny inhabitants. His experiences there highlight the absurdities of war and political ambition. In his second voyage, he visits the island of Brobdingnag, where he is shrunk to a mere fraction of his original size and becomes a curiosity to the giants who inhabit the land. Here, Swift criticizes the arrogance of scientific pretension and the folly of human vanity.In his third voyage, Gulliver visits the flying island of Laputa and its neighboring islands, where he encounters academics and politicians who are obsessed with mathematical theories and political intrigues. This voyagemocks the emptiness of intellectual pursuits divorced from practical application. Finally, in his fourth voyage, Gulliver visits the land of the Houyhnhnms, where he encounters a race of intelligent horses who possess noble qualities such as reason, virtue, and kindness. This utopian society serves as a sharp contrast to the corrupt and degenerate human society he has encountered elsewhere. Throughout the novel, Swift employs irony, satire, and parody to expose the vices and foolishness of human nature. His critique of society is particularly severe in his portrayal of the English upper classes, who are often depicted as vain, arrogant, and self-serving. However, Swift's satire is not without humor, and his vivid imagination and skillful storytelling make "Gulliver's Travels" not only a profound social commentary but also a delightful read.The novel's influence has been felt across the globe, with its themes and characters resonating through the ages. It has been translated into numerous languages and adapted for stage and screen, making it one of the most enduring and popular works of literature in the English canon.**《格列佛游记》简介**《格列佛游记》是乔纳森·斯威夫特于1726年首次发表的一部讽刺小说。
介绍《格列佛游记》英语作文
介绍《格列佛游记》英语作文Gulliver's Travels is a classic work of satire written by Jonathan Swift in the early 18th century. This novel follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who finds himself shipwrecked on a series of fantastical islands inhabited by strange and fascinating peoples. Through Gulliver's experiences, Swift offers a biting commentary on the foibles and flaws of human society.The novel begins with Gulliver setting out on a series of voyages that take him to the tiny nation of Lilliput where the inhabitants are only six inches tall, the land of the giant Brobdingnagians, the floating island of Laputa, and the country of the Houyhnhnms where intelligent horses rule over human-like Yahoos. Each of these settings provides Gulliver with a unique lens through which to view the societies and customs of his own world.In Lilliput, Gulliver is at first seen as a threat by the diminutive citizens but eventually wins their trust and becomes an advisor to the emperor. The Lilliputians' petty political squabbles and absurd traditions provide a satire of the European power struggles and courtintrigues of Swift's time. Gulliver is appalled by the Lilliputians' more ridiculous practices such as the complex system of religious and political allegiances determined by how one cracks open a boiled egg.When Gulliver is marooned in Brobdingnag, the tables are turned and he becomes the tiny one, dwarfed by the 60-foot-tall inhabitants. Here, the satire shifts to an examination of the failings of Gulliver's own society as seen through the eyes of the Brobdingnagian king, who is horrified by the violence and corruption he learns of in Gulliver's homeland. The king's lengthy critiques of European civilization stand as a scathing indictment of the perceived moral and political decline of the continent.Gulliver's journey to the flying island of Laputa provides an opportunity for Swift to satirize the pretensions of scientists and philosophers. The Laputans are so absorbed in abstract theorizing that they have become utterly impractical, to the point of starving because they cannot be bothered to grow their own food. Gulliver is struck by their obsession with mathematics and music to the exclusion of more practical concerns.The final and most unsettling part of Gulliver's travels takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent, rational horses who live in harmony and balance. In contrast, the human-like Yahoosare portrayed as brutish, irrational creatures driven by base desires. Gulliver is so impressed by the Houyhnhnms' virtues that he comes to see his fellow humans as little more than Yahoos. This part of the novel represents Swift's most scathing indictment of humanity itself.Throughout Gulliver's Travels, the protagonist serves as a kind of lens through which the reader can examine the foibles and absurdities of human civilization. As Gulliver encounters one strange culture after another, his perceptions of his own world are radically altered. The reader is invited to see the familiar through new eyes and to question the assumptions and prejudices that underlie their own society.At its core, Gulliver's Travels is a work of profound social and political satire. Swift uses the fantastic premise of a man traveling to bizarre lands to make pointed critiques of the corruption, injustice, and irrationality he saw in 18th-century Europe. The novel's enduring popularity and influence stem from its ability to engage with timeless questions about the human condition.While the fantastical settings and characters of Gulliver's Travels may seem like mere flights of fancy, Swift's underlying message is deadly serious. Through Gulliver's experiences, the author invites the reader to reflect on the flaws and shortcomings of their own world and to consider whether humanity is truly deserving of its vaunted status. Inthis way, the novel remains a challenging and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers centuries after its initial publication.。

The story follows the titular character, Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon with an insatiable thirstfor exploration and a penchant for finding himself in themost peculiar of predicaments.Our journey begins with Gulliver's first voyage, where he finds himself stranded on the island of Lilliput. Here, he encounters the diminutive Lilliputians, who are but sixinches tall. Their society, with its intricate political machinations and petty squabbles, serves as a humorous microcosm of the larger world. Swift uses this setting topoke fun at the follies of mankind, highlighting theabsurdity of human conflicts when viewed from a different perspective.Gulliver's second voyage leads him to Brobdingnag, a land inhabited by giants. Here, the roles are reversed, andGulliver is the one who is small. The Brobdingnagians, with their towering stature and superior wisdom, offer a freshlens through which to view the human condition. Swift's witis sharp as he satirizes the vices and virtues of the human race, all while Gulliver navigates the perils of being a tiny spectacle in a land of giants.The third voyage takes Gulliver to the flying island ofLaputa, where the inhabitants are so engrossed in mathematical and scientific pursuits that they've lost touch with practicality. The absurdity of their obsession with abstract thought is a comical critique of the intellectualism of Swift's time.Finally, Gulliver's fourth and most poignant journey brings him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, a society of horses who possess reason and virtue, and their human counterparts, the Yahoos, who are depicted as brutish and vile. This voyage serves as a stark contrast between the ideal and the base, prompting readers to reflect on the nature of civilization and the true meaning of humanity.Throughout his travels, Gulliver's experiences are a blend of the fantastical and the philosophical, a narrative that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" is not just a tale of adventure; it is a mirror held up to society, reflecting our own follies and virtues back at us with a healthy dose of humor and a touch of the extraordinary.。
格列佛游记英语读书报告
格列佛游记英语读书报告篇一:Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel that takes its readers on a journey through four extraordinary lands. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship surgeon, as he embarks on various voyages, encountering bizarre creatures and societies along the way.The first part of the book takes place in Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people no more than six inches tall. Gulliver finds himself a giant among them and becomes an object of fascination and curiosity. Swift uses this setting to criticize the pettiness and absurdity of human politics and society. The constant power struggles and ridiculous laws in Lilliput reflect the flaws and shortcomings of the larger world.In the second part, Gulliver finds himself in Brobdingnag, a land of giants. Here, he becomes the tiny one, facing various dangers and challenges. Swift's intention in this section is to highlight the flaws of humanity when observed from a different perspective. The giants' disgust with Gulliver's appearance and their brutal honesty in discussing his flaws emphasizes the pettiness and insignificance of human vanity and pride.The third voyage takes Gulliver to Laputa, a floating island inhabited by intellectuals who are completely disconnected from the real world. Swift uses this part to criticize the obsession with abstract knowledgethat doesn't serve any practical purpose. The inhabitants of Laputa are so engrossed in their theoretical pursuits that they neglect the needs and problems of their society.The final part of the book is set in the land of the Houyhnhnms, where intelligent horses rule over a race of savage humanoid creatures called Yahoos. Gulliver is initially fascinated by the noble and rational Houyhnhnms, but as he spends more time among them, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with humanity. The Yahoos, representing the worst traits of humanity, stand in stark contrast to the intelligent and virtuous horses. Swift uses this part to criticize human nature itself, suggesting that humans are no better than the vilest of creatures.Overall, Gulliver's Travels serves as a scathing critique of human society, politics, and nature. Swift uses the absurd and fantastical elements of the story to present a mirror to the flaws and follies of his contemporary world. The novel remains a classic in English literature and a timeless commentary on the human condition.。

英语作文我最喜欢格列佛游记Amidst the vast literary landscape, there are numerous works that captivate the imagination and inspire the spirit. However, among these, "Gulliver's Travels" by JonathanSwift stands out as a favorite of mine. This essay explores my affection for this timeless classic and the reasons it holds a special place in my heart.The allure of "Gulliver's Travels" lies in its unique blend of adventure, satire, and profound philosophical insights. The narrative follows the misadventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon who finds himself in a series of extraordinary and surreal situations. His journey takes him to lands where he encounters giants, dwarfs, horses, and other fantastical creatures. These encounters not only provide thrilling adventures but also serve as a mirror reflecting the social and political realities of Swift's time.One of the most compelling aspects of the novel is its use of satire. Through Gulliver's interactions with the various inhabitants of his fantastical lands, Swift skewers the folly and hypocrisy of human society. For instance, inthe land of the giants, Gulliver's small size exposes the arrogance and vanity of the giants, who see him as a mere curiosity rather than a fellow sentient being. Similarly,in the land of the dwarfs, Gulliver witnesses the decadence and corruption of the ruling class, who are obsessed with power and luxury.The philosophical underpinnings of "Gulliver's Travels" are also noteworthy. Swift explores themes such as the nature of human society, the relationship between reason and emotion, and the role of government. Through Gulliver's eyes, we are presented with a critique of society's ills and a vision for a better world. Swift's insights are as relevant today as they were centuries ago, making the novel a timeless classic.The writing style of Jonathan Swift is another reason for the book's enduring appeal. His wit, humor, and irony are employed masterfully, keeping the reader engaged and amused throughout. The narrative flows seamlessly, with each adventure building upon the previous one, creating a compelling narrative arc. The characters, too, are well-drawn and believable, with Gulliver himself embodying the spirit of curiosity and exploration.In conclusion, "Gulliver's Travels" is not just a story of adventures; it is a profound exploration of human society and the human condition. Its timeless themes, incisive satire, and captivating narrative make it a must-read for any literature lover. As for me, it remains one of my favorite books, a testament to the enduring power of Jonathan Swift's genius.**我最喜欢的格列佛游记**在文学的广袤天地中,有无数作品激发着人们的想象力,鼓舞着人们的精神。

It was fascinating to see them building everything on a smaller scale. The houses,the trees, even the food! They had their own little armyand I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of them marching. It was like a scene from a comedy movie.In Brobdingnag, I encountered the complete opposite.The people were giants, towering over me. It was quite intimidating, to say the least. I felt like a tiny ant in their presence. Everything around me seemed enormous, from the trees to the animals. It was a humbling experience, to say the least.Then, I found myself in Laputa, a floating island inthe sky. The people there were so absorbed in their studies and experiments that they seemed detached from reality.They had no interest in the world below and were more interested in their own intellectual pursuits. It was astrange and surreal place, where logic and reason ruled over everything else.In the land of the Houyhnhnms, I encountered a race of intelligent horses who were far superior to humans. They lived in harmony with nature and had a deep understanding of the world around them. They were kind and rational beings, unlike the savage and uncivilized Yahoos, who were human-like creatures but lacked any sense of morality or reason.Throughout my journey, I learned valuable lessons about different societies and their peculiarities. It made me appreciate the diversity of the world and the importance of understanding and accepting different cultures and ways of life. It was a truly eye-opening experience that I will never forget.。

格列佛游记(英文原版,Gullivers Travels)"的介绍"When bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I perceived a human not six inches high!"When Lemuel Gulliver sets off from London on a sea voyage, little does he know the many incredible and unbelievable misadventures awaiting him. Shipwrecked at sea and nearly drowned, he washes ashore upon an exotic island called Lilliput-where the people are only six inches tall!

He travels to Laputa, a city that floats in the sky, and to Glubbdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers.

Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)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. There were sections (particularly in Brobdingnag) where I could almost recite word-for-word what was going to happen next.Happily, like Alice in Wonderland, this is a book that ages very well. There was still the element of being just a plain old good travel story with strong images (particularly in the Lilliput and Brobdingnag sections) but there was also awicked sense of satire that continues to be relevant and funny now more than three hundred years after the book was originally written.The latter two sections of the book-- Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms-- are perhaps a little less vivid for being more pointed in their satirical content (interestingly I have no memory of these sections from my childhood reading) but that in no way detracts from the value of the book.A must-read.Reviewer: Brian P. McDonnell (Holbrook, MA USA)Gulliver's Travels are broken up into four parts. The first two parts are the most famous, where Gulliver visits a land in which he is a giant and another in which it is filled with giants. Although they are very good, I found them somewhat boring. This is probably due tot he fact that I had heard these stories in so many variations already, they no longer had that originality to them. The next two parts however I found to be excellent. Several authors have expounded upon these stories or have continued them in one form of another of them. It is good to finally find the source of such great insight. For example the world in the clouds is quite humorous, and Douglas Adams makes a similar use of this satire in one of his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe series. The island of wizard's where you can call up any of the dead to have them tell their part in history can be seen in "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" by Philip Jose Farmer (a Hugo award winner.) The final part about humans being nothing but Yahoos, and inferior to Horses is brilliant. A reversal of roles with other animals to give us a new perspective of ourselves is imitated in other such classics as "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells, "The Island of Dr. Monreau" also by H.G. Wells, "Planet of the Apes", "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, plus several Star Trek and Twilight Zone episodes.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 whySwift 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 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 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" .。

格列佛游记英语书评第一篇:格列佛游记英语书评Book’s name: Gulliver’s TravelsAuthor’s name: Jonathan SwiftThe book was published by Tsinghua University Press(2008.5)Abstract1.The country round appear like a continued garden;and the enclosed fields, which were generally forty feet square ,resembled so beds of flowers.These fields were intermingled with woods of half a stag , and the tallest trees , as I could judge , appeared to be seven feet.I viewed the town on my left hand , which looked the painted scene of a city in a theatre.2.However I made a shift to creep on all four , and shelter myself , by lying flat on my face on the lee-side of a border of lemon thyme , but so bruised from head to foot , that I could not go abroad in ten days.3.Add to all this , the pleasure of seeing the variousrevolution of states and empires;the changes in the lower and upper world4.Doubting or not believing, are so little known in this country , that the inhabitants cannot tell how to behave themselves under such circumstances.5.In the trial of persons accused for crimes against the State , the method is much more short and commendable : the judge sends to second the disposition of those in power;after which he can easily hang or save the criminal , strictly persevering all forms of low.Recently I read a book called Gulliver’s Travels.In the book, Gulliver came across many wonderful experiences.He went to some isolatedsocieties where he met different kinds of creatures.Rebellion as Gulliver was , he was unwilling to follow in his father’s step, to be a famous doctor.What he liked was to travel and adventure at the sea.By a chance , he found a job on a ship , then he began his adventure.Unfortunately, the ship ran into a strongstorm ,and all the people sunk into the water.Another day , Gulliver came to himself on a beach.However , to his surprise , he was tied down to the ground with small ropes, a lot of tiny person walking around ter he knew that this country was called Lilliput.After Gulliver’s endeavor , citizens in this country began to like him.What’s more , he acquainted himself with the king and some officials.In the meanwhile , Gulliver helped to defeat the enemy , put off a big fire , teach the tiny people.However , Gulliver’s second adventurehappened in a giant country.In this country ,was much bigger than Gulliver had met.Certainty this bring damager to him.At first he nearly became the child’s dessert , then one night , he got into trouble again.He defeated two enormous rats only with his tiny sword.In the following days Gulliver lived under a frightened life , for every creature here could threat his life.Different from the former countries , Gulliver entered a country at his third adventure, where horses were the directors ,the creatures similar to men were severed as slaves…I spent many weeks finishing the book.The plotattracted me so much that that I can clearly remember the story when I close the book.What’s more, through t he knowledge of the author’s background ,I also learn a lot under the words.For instance , the plot that the tiny people break out a war just for a ridiculous reason reflects on the reality.At that age ,people who had power and wealth tried to gain whatever they want without thinking of other’s feelings.Besides, thisbook reveals people’s evil character.The creatures in Houyhnhnms is the epitome of people who are cruel, crazy and inferior.As far as I am concerned, if man continue to behave like today , maybe in the future , other high creatures will appear, like the giant ,the horse in the book, to direct the world ,at that time man suffer misery what they had ever composed on others.第二篇:【格列佛游记】书评)【格列佛游记】书评寒假里,我读了英国作家乔纳森·斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》,小说以辛辣的讽刺与幽默、离奇的想象和夸张,描述了酷爱航海冒险的格列佛,四度周游世界,经历了大大小小惊险而有趣的奇遇。
