读《格列佛游记》有感

在今年暑假里，我读了英国著名作家乔纳森?斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》。小说通过辛辣的讽刺与离奇的想象与夸张，描写了酷爱航海冒险的格列佛，周游世界，经历了许多惊险而有趣的故事。

我被这本书中的故事深深吸引了，给我印象最深的是：1710年格列佛泛舟北美，访问了荒岛上的慧因国，结识了仁慈、诚实和友善的慧因。在慧因国的语言中没有“撒谎”和“欺骗”这样的字眼，人们更不理解它的含义。他们不懂什么叫“怀疑”、什么是“不信任”，在他们的国度里一切都是真实的、透明的。还有我觉得最特别的要数飞岛国的居民。他们的眼睛都长在一侧，而且是一个爱好乐器的民族，在他们的衣服上也有各自喜欢的乐器。那里的侍从必须要时刻敲打大臣们的脑袋，否则他们总爱异想天开。……读了这本书后，我很佩服格列佛的智慧、勇气和冒险的精神，他是个与众不同的男子汉，他一见到大海就抑制不住内心冒险的冲动。作为一名医生，他专门搭乘去各地旅行的船只，以为船员看病为由，去环游世界，到处冒险。我是一个比较胆小的人，从格列佛身上我学会了人要勇敢，无所畏惧，勇于挑战自我。在以后的生活中，我要改变自己，相信自己，做一个真正的男子汉。

《格列佛游记》这部小说不仅抨击了社会现状，还直接讽刺了人性本身。在第四卷里，关于“钱”的那段议论就是如此。格列佛来到没有金钱，没有军队警察的慧骃国，向他的马主人解释说：“我们那里的野猢认为，不管是用还是攒，钱都是越多越好，没有个够的时候。因为他们天性如此，不是奢侈浪费就是贪得无厌。富人享受着穷人的劳动成果，而穷人和富人在数量上的比例是一千比一。因此我们的人民大多数被迫过着悲惨的生活……”。作者注意到当时社会人与人之间的关系是纯粹的金钱关系，由此对人性产生了疑问。

当我读完这本书以后，我的心情久久难以平静。这本书带给读者深深的思索，让人深思当时社会的黑暗。书是人类进步的阶梯，让我们在书的大海里遨游吧，只要你愿意，你会采撷到属于自己的几朵浪花。

My Opinions on Gulliver’s Travels

Recently I read a novel called “Gulliver’s Travels’. As far as I am concerned, it is a very fantastic book and it gives people an adventurous feeling to read the novel. Before I read the novel, I really didn’t know anything about the author of this novel. But after I have read the novel, I learned that the author of this novel is Jonathan Swift, who was born in 1667. According to what I learned from the book, Jonathan Swift was brought up by his uncle.

In my opinion, there is a certain connection between the background of the novel and the social conditions. Take this novel for example; the background of the novel is based on the social reality in England of that time.

If I have the chance, I would like to be a man like Gulliver, because I am greatly inspired by his couragement and brave. Gulliver is the person, who travels the lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and the country of the Houyhnhnms. I think he must have experienced much during the voyages. These four voyages brought new future to Gulliver’s life.

The first voyage is to Lilliput. People of the lands of Lilliput are very small, it seems like the ant to us, and so Gulliver in the place is very big. The local people regard him as a monster. From the chapter of the novel, we can learn that people of Lilliput are of great kindness in giving Gulliver food and drink. While he was eating, they had prepared a platform to carry him to the capital city. The people of Lilliput，known as the Lilliputians，are very intelligent and clever with their hands．Five hundred men built a special wooden platform with twenty－two wheels．Nine hundred of the strongest men worked for about three hours to lift him on to the platform，and one thousand five hundred o f the King's largest horses（each eleven and a half centimeters high）pulled him to the capital．But he has experienced much, not only happy things but also unhappy things. As a reader of this novel, I can imagine how exciting how exciting the voyage was through the words written by the author. The next voyage is to Brobdingnag, which is completely different from Lilliput. Gulliver is like a small man in Lilliput, because people in Brobdingnag are very big,

all of them are giants. Gulliver is clever to e please the king and the queen with his intelligence in music. In my opinion, Gulliver is patriotic for he argued with the king, because the king laughed at his country. In Gulliver’s mind, his country is very harmonious, people are honest and brave. No one can criticize his country. I admire him for this characteristic.

The third voyage is to Laputa. From the chapter, I can learn Laputans are certainly strange people. Their heads always turn either to right or left：one of their eyes turns in－wards，the other upwards．Their main interests are music and mathematics．They spend so much time thinking abut mathematical problems that they do not notice what is happening around them．As far as I am concerned, their life must be very boring, because they have nothing to do except thinking about mathematical problems.

The last voyage is to Houyhnhnme.I think the country is very interesting, because it is controlled by horses. At first, the two horses helped Gulliver to drive away animals. Then, the horses led Gulliver to their house. Their house is very different from

Gulliver’s house; it has no furniture and is very low. Unlike previous experience, this time Gulliver had to learn how to learn their language. It is very difficult to learn another language in a short time. So Gulliver only had learned a little of their

language. Honestly speaking, I want to live in Houyhnhnme, because in this country which had no disease, no crime, and no wars.

When Gulliver returned to England, he was disappointed by people, because they cannot learn from the Houys. At first ,he was hoping that perhaps human beings

would change their ways after reading the stories of his life with the Houys．But they accuse him of lying in his book．And then he realized that people still lie，steal，and fight，just as they have always done，and probably will always do．He felt he was stupid to think that he could bring reason and truth into their lives and thoughts Humans are all Yahoos

I hope I could have the chance to travel the world like Gulliver. I eagerly want to live in Houyhnhnme. Its society is very harmonious, I hope our society could become like that one day in the future. What we can do is to learn to help everyone around us

who needs help, and try to understand others.
