Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)I haven't read this book since I read it as a child, and it was amazing how muchof it had stuck with me, and how vidly. There were sections (particularly inBrobdingnag) where I could almost recite word-for-word what was going tohappen next.Happily, like Alice in Wonderland, this is a book that ages very well. There wasstill the element of being just a plain old good travel story with strongimages(particularly in the Lilliput and Brobdingnag sections) but there was also awicked sense of satire that continues to be relevant and funny now more thanthree hundred years after the book was originally written.The latter two sections of the book-- Laputa and the land of the Houyhnms--are perhaps a little less vid 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)One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether theHouyhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other handthey are the butt of Swift's satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking funat the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as theproper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnms act, wecan see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously:he uses them to showthe dangers of pride.First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously. Forinstance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he willbelieve anything. Also,when he first sees the Yahoos and they throwexcrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they runaway. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," eventhough as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why"As I watched in amazementfrom my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned witha yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr. Pope being fittedby 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 thatwe should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and thatconsequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. But itmakes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here:it is the femaleHouyhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened ineighteenth-century England. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is thatpride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse. Gulliver imagines thehorse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with animal who had held Mr. Pope on her back makes me queezy .AfinalindicationthattheHouyhnmnsarenotmeanttobetakenseriouslyoccurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visitstheFrenchRoyalSociety.Hegoesintoaroominwhichascientistryingtoturnwineinto water(itselfapridefulactthatreferstothemarriageat Gallilee).

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.。

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" .。

Gulliver's travels is a famous work by English writer Jonathan swift. The protagonist of the book, like Robinson, loves sailing adventures, and travels around the world to a lot of strange places, such as the adult country, the lilliputian, the flying island and the huizhou. I was deeply attracted by the thrilling, funny and funny stories that happened to him.What interests me most is the experience of gulliver in Lilliput. The people here were all like tiny little men, and here, in the eyes of the little people, gulliver became a giant of the sky. After he was found by the king, he was subdued by a large group of small men, and tied up with a fly, and with a fly. The ban was confined to an abandoned building. At first, his life was good, it was a war, and the fate of gulliver fell to the ground and became the king's battle tool. Fortunately, he later went to another small country to win the love of the king and queen, and enjoyed the prosperity. But gulliver was still very much in love with his family and home, and asked the king to let him go. The king helped him build the "aircraft carrier" of the little man. Eventually he returned home. Gulliver's fate was in a moment of triumph, a moment of triumph, and a moment of despair, and it was under the control of others. And I, with the plot of the book in a moment of fear, a long sigh.

I can't remember how many falls, broken skin, also shed a lot of blood, even nearly fracture, but I do not have the slightest fear, persistence! Now, I can play a lot of tricks too!

The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship surgeon who embarks on four separate journeys to strange and fantastical lands.In the first voyage, Gulliver arrives in Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people only six inches tall. Here, he becomes embroiled in a political struggle between two factions, the High-Heels and the Low-Heels, satirizing the political climate of Swift's time.In the second voyage, Gulliver finds himself in Brobdingnag, a land of giants where he is the tiny one. Here, he is displayed as a curiosity to the giant inhabitants and witnesses their flaws up close, including their vanity and disdain for human nature.The third voyage takes Gulliver to Laputa, a floating island where the inhabitants are absorbed in abstract thinking and have no practical skills. Swift criticizes the excessive focus on theory over practice in the intellectual elite of his time.In the final voyage, Gulliver lands in the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses who rule over the Yahoos, human-like creatures who are savage and uncivilized.Gulliver comes to realize the flaws of humanity as the Houyhnhnms view him as a Yahoo and treat him as such.Through these journeys, Swift uses satire to critique various aspects of society, including politics, human nature, intellect, and morality. Gulliver's Travels remains a classic work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.。

格列佛游记英语作文60词In the realm of literature, few works have captured the essence of adventure and satire like "Gulliver's Travels". This remarkable novel by Jonathan Swift takes readers through a series of extraordinary voyages, each offering a unique perspective on human nature and society. Through Gulliver's encounters with bizarre creatures and extraordinary cultures, Swift masterfully crafts anarrative that both entertains and challenges the reader to think deeply about the world.Gulliver's first voyage to Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people, exposes the folly of human arrogance and the dangers of warfare. His giant size relative to the Lilliputians makes him a hero, but his own human instincts and biases often lead him to make mistakes. This journey teaches us that even the smallest beings can have immense power and influence, and that we should approach all encounters with humility and respect.His second voyage to Brobdingnag, a land of giants, reverses the scale, highlighting the insignificance of the individual in the vastness of the universe. Here,Gulliver's tiny size forces him to rely on the kindness of others and to重新认识 his own limitations. This experience reminds us of our own smallness in the grand scheme of things and encourages us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world.The third and fourth voyages, to Laputa and Houyhnhnms, respectively, further explore themes of human nature and society. Laputa, a floating island inhabited by scientists obsessed with useless inventions, satirizes the folly of intellectual pretension and the dangers of ignoring practical concerns. In contrast, the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses, offer a vision of a more enlightened and just society. Their peaceful coexistence and moral superiority challenge Gulliver and the reader to reconsider our own values and aspirations.Throughout "Gulliver's Travels", Jonathan Swift uses humor and irony to expose the flaws and follies of human nature. His vivid imagination and masterful storytelling create a world that is both fascinating and thought-provoking. This book is not just a tale of adventure; it isa profound commentary on the human condition and a call for us to examine our own behaviors and beliefs."Gulliver's Travels" remains relevant today because it speaks to the timeless themes of human nature and society. Its lessons about humility, respect, and the importance of practical wisdom are as important now as they were when the book was first published. By taking us through Gulliver's extraordinary voyages, Jonathan Swift teaches us thattravel is not just about seeing new places; it is about seeing ourselves and the world in a new light.**格列佛游记:奇幻之旅的深邃启示**在文学的世界里,很少有作品能像乔纳森·斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》那样,完美融合冒险与讽刺的元素。

格列佛游记英语作文80字全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan SwiftHi friends! Today I want to tell you about one of my favorite books, Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. It's an amazing adventure story about a guy named Lemuel Gulliver who goes on these crazy trips to fictional places filled with tiny people, giants, talking horses and so much more!It all starts when Gulliver is working as a ship's surgeon and his boat gets caught in a storm. He ends up shipwrecked on an island called Lilliput where everyone is only 6 inches tall! Can you imagine a whole country of tiny little people? At first the Lilliputians tie Gulliver down because they think he's a monster. But then they see he's harmless and actually help him.Even though Gulliver is a giant compared to them, the Lilliputians figure out clever ways to take care of him. Like it takes hundreds of tiny tailors to make his clothes and thousands of workers to serve him food! Gulliver has to be careful not to stepon the little people or knock down their houses by accident. It's a funny image picturing this huge man in their miniature world.After a while though, Gulliver gets in trouble in Lilliput for putting out a fire by peeing, which the Lilliputians find disgusting. He's put on trial and sentenced to be blinded and starved! Luckily Gulliver escapes to the neighboring island of Blefuscu. That's when his second crazy adventure begins.In Blefuscu, Gulliver finds another group of tiny people who are enemies with Lilliput. This time Gulliver uses his massive size to help them by stealing the Lilliputian navy and capturing the palace. But soon Gulliver realizes the Blefuscudians are exactly the same as the Lilliputians - just tiny, petty people fighting over silly things like which end of an egg to crack open.Gulliver eventually gets captured again trying to escape Blefuscu and is rescued by a normal-sized crew and taken home to England. But his travels are just getting started! On his next trip, Gulliver ends up a tiny person in the land of Brobdingnag, where everyone is a race of 72-foot tall giants!Now the tables are turned and Gulliver is the little one. The Brobdingnagian farmer who finds him keeps him as a weird pet. Gulliver has to live in a fancy house made for him by the Queen. He gets carried around in little boxes and has to swing around onropes just to move. One time the Brobdingnagian monkeys grab Gulliver and want to eat him, thinking he's a toy! It's terrifying until the farmer's daughter saves him.Even though the Brobdingnagians are more advanced than Lilliput, Gulliver learns that they have serious flaws too. Like the court ladies only care about how their outfits look and the intellectuals waste time on dumb projects. Gulliver sees that humans are equally ridiculous whether they're tiny or gigantic.After many years in Brobdingnag, a bird snatches up the portable house Gulliver is living in and carries him away to sea. He gets shipwrecked again on new islands like one with scientific horse-like creatures called Houyhnhnms who are disgusted by the savage human-like Yahoos that also live there.On his final voyage, Gulliver visits the islands of Luggnagg and Japan before finally returning home to England an old man. Throughout all his journeys to these weird places with their quirky inhabitants, Gulliver gains so many funny and fascinating perspectives on humankind.That's what I love most about Gulliver's Travels - how it makes you think about big questions like what really makes someone civilized or uncivilized. Even though the book waswritten a long time ago in 1726, the satire of different societies still feels so creative and imaginative today.Whether Gulliver is a massive giant or a tiny littleperson, he experiences both how ridiculous and amazing humans can be up close. The Lilliputians fighting endless wars over which side of an egg to crack. The vain Brobdingnagian ladies obsessed with silly fashions. But then the intelligent, rational Houyhnhnm horses. It's all so fun and funny while also making you ponder human nature.If you haven't read Gulliver's Travels yet, you absolutely should! It's a classic adventure filled with crazy worlds and characters. But it's also a smart book that makes you see humans in a new light, whether they're tiny or huge. I'm sure kids and adults alike will love traveling to all the wacky islands with Gulliver as much as I did! Let me know what you think after reading it.篇2Gulliver's Awesome AdventuresHave you ever wondered what it would be like to be a giant? Or maybe a tiny little person?

Gulliver had to be really brave to live among those huge people.But that's not all! Gulliver also went to some very strange places. He visited an island where the scientists were trying to make food out of things like mud and hair. Yuck! He also went to a floating island called Laputa, where the people were so busy studying and thinking that they sometimes forgot to eat or sleep.Throughout his travels, Gulliver met all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures. There were talking horses calledHouyhnhnms that were smarter than humans. And there were these ugly creatures called Yahoos that acted like wild animals.Gulliver's adventures were sometimes scary, but they were always exciting. He got to see and do things that most people could only dream about.

It's a classic book that has been entertaining readers for hundreds of years. And who knows, maybe it will inspire you to go on some awesome adventures of your own one day!篇3Gulliver's Awesome Adventures!Have you ever read the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift? It's about a guy named Lemuel Gulliver who goes on the craziest adventures to these weird lands filled with tiny people and giants! It's one of the wildest books I've ever read. Let me tell you all about Gulliver's nutty journeys!It all started when Gulliver was a ship's surgeon sailing across the sea. There was a huge storm that wrecked his ship andhe ended up on the island of Lilliput. The Lilliputians were like tiny little people, only about 6 inches tall! Gulliver woke up on the beach tied down by millions of tiny threads. Can you imagine being tied up by a bunch of tiny people? It would be like ants tying you down!The Lilliputians were afraid of Gulliver at first since he was a giant compared to them. But then they realized he was friendly. Gulliver helped them fight a war against their enemies from the island of Blefuscu by capturing the Blefuscan navy's fleet of boats. He just reached into the water and grabbed all their ships! How cool would it be to be able to pick up entire boats?After staying with the Lilliputians for a while, Gulliver went on another sea voyage. But there was another crazy storm that wrecked his ship! This time, he washed up on the island of Brobdingnag, which was populated by giants! The Brobdingnagians were all about 72 feet tall, so Gulliver was tiny compared to them. A giant farmer found him and kept him as a weird little pet in his pocket.Gulliver had to be really careful not to get stepped on by the giant people and their giant animals like rats the size of huge dogs! He even got tied up and almost eaten by a monstrous rat at one point. A Brobdingnagian girl was the one who saved himby driving the rat away. Gulliver lived in the girl's dollhouse and she treated him like her own little toy to play with.After many adventures and close calls, Gulliver finally managed to get rescued by an English crew and sailed back home to England. But he just couldn't stay put for long! Soon he was off on another journey across the sea. This time, his ship was taken over by pirates and he ended up swimming to yet another bizarre island.This island was inhabited by scientific geniuses called Projectors who were always coming up with crazy inventions. There was one guy who had invented a way to get sunbeams out of cucumbers! How weird is that? The Projectors were so busy with their wacky ideas that they could barely take care of themselves. It was a society of really smart people who were also totally impractical at the same time.Gulliver didn't stay on that island long before he was on the move again to the country of the Houyhnhnms. These were a race of intelligent, talking horses who were the leaders. The actual humans, called Yahoos, were nasty, foul, uncivilized creatures who acted like animals! The Houyhnhnms were highly logical and lived in a perfect society without greed, pride, orproblems. Gulliver really admired them and even started copying their behavior, living more like a horse than a human.In the end, Gulliver had to leave his beloved Houyhnhnm horses and return to England. But he was forever changed by his incredible voyages around the world to all those bizarre lands. He started living more like a horse, avoiding humans as much as he could. His family thought he had gone completely nutty from his adventures!I just love the Gulliver's Travels book because it's full of such imaginative lands and crazy situations. Having tiny people tie you down or living with giants would be so wild! Jonathan Swift's vivid descriptions really make you feel like you're there experiencing all Gulliver's unbelievable journeys. It's an awesome book that every kid should read to stretch their imagination to the limits!篇4Gulliver's Awesome AdventuresHave you ever heard of Gulliver's Travels? It's a really cool book about a guy named Gulliver who goes on the most amazing adventures! Let me tell you all about it.Gulliver was a sailor who loved exploring the world. One day, his ship got caught in a terrible storm, and Gulliver was thrown overboard! He washed up on the shore of a strange island called Lilliput. When he woke up, he found that the people living there were tiny – only about six inches tall! Gulliver was a giant compared to them.At first, the Lilliputians were scared of Gulliver, but they soon realized he was friendly. They tied him down with tiny ropes and took him to their city. Gulliver had to be really careful not to step on anyone or knock down their houses! The Lilliputians even made him a special giant-sized bed and brought him lots of food to eat.While Gulliver was in Lilliput, he learned all about their culture and customs. The Lilliputians were always fighting with their neighbors, the Blefuscudians, over silly things like which end of an egg to crack open first! Gulliver thought their wars were really dumb and tried to make peace between them.Eventually, Gulliver was able to escape Lilliput by hitching a ride on a giant bird. His next adventure took him to the land of Brobdingnag, where the people were giants! This time, Gulliver was the tiny one. He was kept as a pet by a kind giant girl, but hehad to be careful not to get stepped on or eaten by the giant rats and cats!In Brobdingnag, Gulliver saw everything from a tiny perspective. He was amazed by how huge and clumsy the giants seemed. He even got to ride on the king's hand like a little coach! The Brobdingnagians were fascinated by Gulliver and treated him like a curious little toy.Gulliver's travels didn't end there. He also visited the islands of Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and the country of the Houyhnhnms. Each place was stranger and more fantastical than the last!On the island of Laputa, the people were so obsessed with math and music that they couldn't even have a normal conversation. In Balnibarbi, the scientists were always working on bizarre projects like trying to extract sunbeams from cucumbers! Gulliver met immortal beings called Struldbrugs in Luggnagg, and in Glubbdubdrib, he got to talk to famous people from history like Julius Caesar and Homer.The country of the Houyhnhnms was inhabited by intelligent, talking horses who lived in peace and harmony. The Yahoos, who looked like humans, were savage and uncivilized. Gulliver wasamazed by the Houyhnhnms' wisdom and way of life. He even started acting like a horse himself!After all his crazy adventures, Gulliver finally made it back home to England. But he was forever changed by the strange and wonderful things he had seen. He had a hard time fitting back into normal society and kept thinking about the different lands he had visited.Gulliver's Travels is full of excitement, humor, and important lessons about human nature. It's a classic story that has been loved by readers for hundreds of years. So what are you waiting for? Go on an adventure with Gulliver today!篇5Gulliver's Travels - An Amazing Adventure!Hi everyone! My name is Tommy and I'm going to tell you all about one of the most exciting books I've ever read - Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. This book is full of crazy adventures that Gulliver, the main character, goes on. It's so much fun to read!The book starts off with Gulliver working as a surgeon on a ship. While he's at sea, there's a huge storm that wrecks the ship.Gulliver ends up on an island called Lilliput where all the people are only about 6 inches tall! Can you imagine how tiny that is? Gulliver feels like a giant!At first, the little Lilliputians are scared of Gulliver because he's so big. But then they use a whole bunch of tiny ropes and cables to tie him down while he's sleeping. When Gulliver wakes up, he's completely tied down and can't move! The Lilliputians set up ladders to climb on top of him. They bring him food and water through a big wooden machine that reaches up to his mouth. Isn't that wild?Gulliver has to follow all the rules of the Lilliputians or else they'll prick him with their tiny spears. He learns their language and helps them out with things only a giant could do, like putting out fires and capturing enemy ships. Eventually, the Lilliputians come to really like and respect Gulliver.But then Gulliver gets in trouble for putting out a fire by peeing on it to douse the flames! The Lilliputians think that's really rude and gross. They decide to execute Gulliver by poking out his eyes so he'll be blind. Yikes! Thankfully, Gulliver is able to escape to the ocean and gets rescued by another ship.On his next adventure, Gulliver ends up in a country called Brobdingnag. Here, everything is huge instead of tiny! Thepeople are sixty feet tall, the cows are as big as elephants, and the bugs are monstrous. A drooling puppy is big enough to eat Gulliver in one bite! A humble farmer ends up finding Gulliver and keeping him as a cute little pet in his pocket. The farmer's kids love playing with little Gulliver like a doll.Gulliver gets to see the massive royal palace and capital city of Brobdingnag, riding around in the huge people's coat pockets. He meets the mighty king and queen of the giants. At one point, he even gets trapped in a glass case by a mischievous monkey! Gulliver uses his tiny pistols to scare the monkey away. Being tiny is sure dangerous when everything around you is absolutely massive!On later voyages, Gulliver visits islands with weird inhabitants like the Yahoos, who are smelly and rude humanlike creatures. He also meets the wise and virtuous Houyhnhnms, who look like intelligent horses. Gulliver prefers the Houyhnhnms' simple way of life to the greedy and dishonest ways of his fellow Europeans.Overall, Gulliver's Travels is such an imaginative and fun book! The crazy size differences that Gulliver experiences make for the most unbelievable adventures. From being tied down by a bunch of tiny people to riding around in a giant's pocket,Gulliver goes through some unreal situations. Parts of the book can get a bit complicated for a kid, but the basic premise of a normal man encountering tiny and giant beings is so creative and entertaining. I've never read another book quite like it!If you're looking for an amusing fantasy story full of excitement and humor, you've got to give Gulliver's Travels a try. Just imagine how wild it would be to suddenly find yourself a giant or a tiny little person! That's exactly what happens to poor Gulliver over and over again on his incredible voyages across the world. It's an unforgettable tale that will blow your mind!篇6Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan SwiftGulliver's Travels is one of the most amazing books I've ever read! It's full of crazy adventures about a guy named Gulliver who goes on four awesome voyages to weird lands. The places he visits are so strange and the people and creatures he meets are totally whacky!On his first trip, Gulliver ends up in the land of Lilliput where all the people are teeny tiny, only about six inches tall! Can you imagine how small that is? Gulliver looks like a giant monster to them. The Lilliputians tie him down with millions of tiny ropesand he has to follow all their rules or they'll poke him with their tiny swords and arrows. How funny is that?Later, Gulliver sails to Brobdingnag, which is the opposite - everything is super huge! The people are as tall as church steeples and Gulliver is shrimpy next to them. A normal rat looks as big as an ox to little Gulliver. The Brobdingnagians could squish him like a bug if they weren't careful! Gulliver has to live in a special tiny house that the kids carry around and play with like a dollhouse. I'll bet that was pretty annoying for him after a while!The wildest part is when Gulliver ends up on an island of talking horses called Houyhnhnms. No, not tiny little ponies, these are full-sized horses that walk upright and are way smarter than humans! They have their own language and live in houses and towns just like us. Horses being smarter than people - how weird is that?The Houyhnhnms have ugly servant creatures called Yahoos who look almost human but are gross and disgusting. The Yahoos represent the worst behaviors of people - they're selfish, nasty and violent. Gulliver feels so ashamed to be like a Yahoo. By the end, he wants to stay with the Houyhnhnms instead of returning to live with nasty human Yahoos in England.My favorite voyage is probably Gulliver's visit to the island of Laputa though. The people there are so silly and have such a goofy way of life! They're always staring up at the sky and bumping into things. They won't listen to anybody and are obsessed with weird ideas and inventions that are totally impractical. The best part is the scientists on Laputa who try to figure out things like extracting sunbeams from cucumbers! How random is that?I also got a big kick out of the islands around Laputa that specialize in different ridiculous things. On one island, everyone is an artist or poet, and they have to constantly beg for food because they're so bad at actually working or doing anything useful. Another island is just for scientists focused on crazy experiments like remaking things that already exist like gravity! My personal favorite is the island where they only speak by carrying bundles of things and putting them down in a certain order to communicate. No one would ever get anything done if they talked that way!Overall, Gulliver's Travels is totally wacky but in a really clever way. Jonathan Swift was satirizing the dumb things people do by making everything super extreme and exaggerated. The little Lilliputians show how tiny our worries and disagreementsreally are. The big ol' Brobdingnagians demonstrate how our pride about being human isn't such a big deal in the grand scheme of things.The horses being better than the Yahoos make you think hard about human failings like greed and violence. And the nutty scientists of Laputa parody how smart people can fixate on ideas so impractical and useless. It all makes you realize that we humans do some pretty peculiar stuff sometimes!I think Gulliver's Travels is a total blast to read with all the crazy places Gulliver visits and oddball characters he encounters. But it's also really thought-provoking about human nature and society. Jonathan Swift was a satirical genius to come up with such an entertaining yet insightful way to gently mock people's flaws and stupidities. I'll never forget zany old Gulliver's wild and meaningful adventures!。

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.

格列佛游记人物介绍英文

格列佛游记人物介绍英文Gulliver's Travels - Introduction to CharactersPart I: Lemuel GulliverLemuel Gulliver, the protagonist of Jonathan Swift's satirical novel "Gulliver's Travels," is a British surgeon and sea captain. The story begins with Gulliver's adventurous spirit, as he embarks on several voyages that take him to various fantastical lands and encounters with extraordinary beings. Throughout his travels, Gulliver's character undergoes transformation, both physically and mentally.Initially, Gulliver presents himself as a rational and objective observer. He describes his journeys and the peculiar inhabitants he encounters with utmost detail and objectivity. Gulliver's encounters with the Lilliputians, a tiny race of people measuring only six inches tall, reveal his reaction to the unexpected. Despite the diminutive stature of the Lilliputians, Gulliver remains respectful and curious, illustrating his open-mindedness and tolerance.As the narrative progresses, Gulliver encounters other strange civilizations, such as the Brobdingnagians. Here, Gulliver's physical transformation becomes apparent, as he diminishes in size compared to the gigantic inhabitants. This reversal of stature serves as a literary device to provoke reflection on the nature of power and authority. Gulliver's vulnerability in Brobdingnag exposes human flaws and challenges traditional hierarchical structures.Part II: The LilliputiansThe Lilliputians play a significant role in Gulliver's journey. These tiny people embody flaws of a typical ruling class. Despite their size, they exhibit arrogance, pride, and a focus on trivial matters. Through satirical exaggeration, Swift criticizes the frivolous nature of politics and the shortcomings of the ruling elite. The Lilliputians' small stature serves as a metaphor for their limited perspective and narrow-mindedness.Part III: The BrobdingnagiansIn contrast to the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnagians represent a more rational and morally-driven society. Their colossal size juxtaposed with Gulliver's reduced proportions exposes the flaws and follies of humanity. Gulliver's observations of the Brobdingnagians' treatment of him, as a miniature specimen, lead him to question social norms and virtues. He engages in philosophical conversations with the Brobdingnagian king, highlighting the importance of reason and emphasizing the detrimental effects of excessiveness.Part IV: Laputans, Balnibarbians, and HouyhnhnmsGulliver's later travels bring him to encounters with the Laputans, a society of intellectuals consumed by abstract ideas and impracticality. The Laputans' obsession with theoretical knowledge reveals a detachment from reality and lack of practicality. Swift satirizes the vanity of scientific pursuits without any practical application.Gulliver's last voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, a society governed by highly intelligent and rational horses. The contrast between the Houyhnhnms and the Yahoos, human-like creatures that are savage and irrational, showcases Swift's criticism of humanity. TheHouyhnhnms' emphasis on reason and logic challenges Gulliver's understanding of his own society and forces him to question humanity's place in the world.ConclusionThrough the development of Gulliver's character and his encounters with various societies, Swift presents a scathing critique of human nature, politics, and society. The characters in "Gulliver's Travels" are used to expose the flaws and deficiencies found within human society and to provoke reflection and introspection. Swift's work remains a timeless piece of literature that challenges readers to question societal norms and consider the consequences of unchecked power and irrationality.。
