格列佛游記英文讀后感 2
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. 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 Swifts 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 Gulliver seriously. For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" . As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II.
Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle 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 . Throughout Gullivers Travels, the Houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. Though their intent might have been good, they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. They mislead Gulliver and they even mislead themselves. The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born Houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "With this sort of entrance, what must I expect from the rest of my life!" .
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 Kings 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.

Gulliver’s Tra一vel is a fairy tale written by Jonathan Swift. It’s a very interesting story full of imagination. Besides, the description is vivid and appealing, when I read it I feel like I’m tra一veling with the hero in the story.
Jonathan Swift was born in Ireland, but his parents are English. He has written many books such as A Tale of A Tub and The Battle of Books, respectively criticizes and attacks the corruption of religion and prejudice of scholar authority. His Drapier’s letters reveals the attempt of England to destroy the economy of Ireland. For this reason, English government awarded 300pounds for catching Swift. However, nobody in Ireland betrayed him. Swift died in 1745, and he said in his testament that he would give all his property to the charity.
Gulliver’s Tra一vels tells a story of Captain Gulliver’s unique experience. Gulliver has a strong desire of tra一veling around the world since he grew up. However, when he became a captain, he tra一vels not between different countries but between strange places we never imagine.
The first time, his boat encountered a storm and he swan to the shore. When he woke up he found himself surrounded by small men later he realized he had come to the country “Liliput”， which was a country of small men. In the country, the people treated him very friendly, they ga一ve him food and drink and wine. He? lived happily and he was nice to them as well. Later, the king asked him to help fight the other country Blefuscu for a very amusing reason: people there break their eggs at the big end while people in Liliput break eggs on the small end. Gulliver helped the king win the battle and soon after that he went home.
The second time, he set sail and met a fierce storm again. This time he found a land which was a country named Broadingnag. It was a country of giants. You can guess his whereabouts. The huge people treated him as a pet. They put him on show, give speech and do sword drill, till he was tired out. Later he was sent to the Queen, the Queen liked him very much and had him dine with her everyday. But life was not easy for him. Nevertheless, something interesting happened. When he wanted to read, he had to climb up on the book and walk from left to right to read a line. Imagine that scene I couldn’t help laughing. Another story is playing the piano. He had to strike the keys hard with his first.
People comment the book as a satire to England even to the whole Europe. In detail, that is, the first experience use the amusing reason of war to criticize the parties and religion of England, the second experience satirizes the boast and conceit of the whole Europeans. Nevertheless, in my opinion, I only see the vivid portrayal and the interesting imagination. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I read the story and know not so much about the background and situation of the author and his society, but the story really impresses me. I like the exotic experience of Gulliver, and I like Swifer’s imagination. A masterpiece which can influence generation after generation surely has its reason, maybe for the profound understanding of history, maybe for the description of people’s life. This novel may ha一ve something to do with sarcasm, but to me, at least by now, is a pure fantasy and a wonderful fairy tale.
格列佛游記英文讀后感 4
On this holiday, I read a book called Gullivers travels. The author of the book is the best satirical expert and politician in Britain in the early eighteenth Century - Jonathan Swift.
The first place in Gullivers adventures was the villain. There he was able to drag the entire naval fleet with one hand, a large number of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and lots of barrels of wine at a meal. In order to send the giant to the capital, he used five hundred craftsmen, countless ropes, nine hundred big men, fifteen thousand big royal horses, and so on. In a small country so that all competition and war inevitably seem small petty. With the height of heel partisan divide, "high-heeled party" and "low with Party infighting, neighboring countries not only irreconcilable opposed to; want to conquer and enslave each other, but also should eat egg debate where head knock like trifles" principles "problem.
Giant in the country, he has become giants of the doll, was playing in the palm of your hand, and fight against flies and birds; later, he came to the mysterious flying island, people here use the flying island of the lower part of the natural magnet and the seabed under the force of a magnet, want to move, this is also a at any time, engage in some special summoned the ghost of dialogue rather baffling the study of the strange country.
I admire the hero to honor to Hui from country to country, Hui from country to country is the pursuit of the ideal situation and yearning, here you dont need to worry about other people say is true, but in reality, there are so many things we dont want to see someone with blandishments cheat other peoples hard-earned money, people and children profiteering and some people even sacrifice their all for money. No wonder our parents and teachers have taught us to be vigilant and not to be deceived. This is very difficult to unite with others, who help others and love others. When I meet someone who is in trouble, I want to lend a helping hand. I hesitate. When someone comes to help me out, I cant accept it. All this makes me feel miserable, contradictory and at a loss what to do. Isnt it sad that it prevents me from "loving" other people and also "missing" other peoples love?
I am looking forward to the day when our society is like the kingdom of Hui, the childrens eyes no longer have doubts, and education and reality are united. I would like to work hard for this, and I hope all of you will join me in doing it yourself, and from now on, let this society be more sincere and less hypocritical.
翻譯：
在這個假期，我讀了一本名叫格列佛游記的書。這本書的作者是英國十八世紀(jì)前期最優(yōu)秀的諷刺專家和政治家——喬納森·斯威夫特。
格列佛歷險(xiǎn)的第一地是小人國。在那里，他一只手能拖動整支海軍艦隊(duì)，一餐飯要吞吃一大批雞鴨牛羊外加許多桶酒。小人國的人為了把他這個龐然大物運(yùn)到京城，動用了五百工匠，無數(shù)繩索，九百個“大漢”，一萬五千匹高大的御馬等等。在如此的一個微縮國度里，所有的競爭和戰(zhàn)事都不免顯得渺小委瑣。黨派之爭以鞋跟高低劃分陣營，“高跟黨”與“低跟黨”你爭我斗，勢不兩立；相鄰的國家不但想戰(zhàn)勝并奴役對方，還要爭論吃雞蛋應(yīng)敲哪頭之類雞毛蒜皮的“原則”問題。
在巨人國里，他變成了巨人們的玩偶，被玩弄于手掌間，并與蒼蠅和巨鳥展開斗爭；后來，他來到神秘的飛島國，這里的人利用飛島下部的天然磁鐵和海底下的磁鐵的力量，隨心所欲地移動，這同時(shí)也是一個可隨時(shí)傳喚鬼魂對話、專門搞些莫名其妙的研究的離奇國家。
我很羨慕文中的主人公有幸能到慧因國，慧因國是我們所追求和向往的理想境地，在這里你不需顧慮別人說話的真假，而在現(xiàn)實(shí)中，有著太多我們不愿看到的事情發(fā)生：有人用花言巧語騙取別人的血汗錢、有人謀取暴利、有人甚至為了金錢犧牲自己的一切。難怪我們的.父母、老師從小就教育我們要提高警惕，不要上當(dāng)受騙。這與我們提倡的幫助他人、愛護(hù)他人是很難統(tǒng)一的。當(dāng)我遇到有困難的人，要伸出援助之手時(shí)，我遲疑；當(dāng)有人替我解圍時(shí)，我不敢接受。這些都讓我內(nèi)心感到痛苦、矛盾，無所適從。既妨礙了我去“愛”別人，同時(shí)也錯過了別人的“愛”，這難道不是一種悲哀嗎？
我期盼著有一天我們的社會也像慧因國，孩子們的眼中不再有疑慮，教育與現(xiàn)實(shí)是統(tǒng)一的。我愿為此付出努力，也希望大家與我一道，從自己做起，從現(xiàn)在開始做起，讓這個社會多一點(diǎn)真誠、少一點(diǎn)虛偽。
格列佛游記英文讀后感 5
Don’t be a Yahoo Originally accomplished by an English writer Jonathan Swift in 1726, and later on adapted for a film by Charles Sturridge and a cartoon by Peter R.Hunt, Gulliver’s Travels is such a famous satirical novel that influences both adults and children.The editionI read is one of the adaptations, published by Oxford University.I was completely absorbed in its fantastically designed plot and the deep meaning it conveys to my mind.The author, Jonathan Swift, is an English satirist, statesman and poet.He was born in a poor family in Ireland and was brought up by his uncle.When he grew up, he became a private secretary in Moore Park with other’s help.
The master of the park was an experienced politician and philosopher.There’s no doubt that he gave a huge impact on Swift.During those years, Swift went through so much that after he left the park, he spared no effort to fight for freedom and independence for Irish people.The Gulliver’s Travels, wrote by the year 1726, exposing the darkness of the society at that time.The leading character—Gulliver, who travels to the imaginary lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and the country of the Houyhnhnms, had experienced much during the expedition.All of these four voyages brought new opportunities and future to Gulliver’s life, and these are also for satirizing the way of the English.The first voyage is to Lilliput where people are extremely small, so Gulliver is a giant to Lilliputians.Lilliputians seem friendly but actually they are very ridiculous and stupid, the king even wanted to kill Gulliver because he made water to put out a fire to save the queen’s life.The second voyage is to Brobdingnag which is absolutely different from Lilliput.Gulliver is like a Lilliputian in Europe and he began to understand how a very small creature feels before a giant.Luckily, his master is very kind to him.
But the king laughed at his country, which is famous for its beautiful places, its brave and honest people and criticized its inhuman, cruel ideas about murdering people.The third voyage is to Laputa.Laputans are strange-looking and their main interests are music and mathematics.They pay little attention to others, so it’s very difficult to talk with them.Gulliver also went to the Glubdugdribb and Luggnagg nearby.In a visit to Glubdugdribb, Gulliver was able to call ghosts to answer his questions.In Luggnagg, he learnt something about Stuldbrugs, who are miserable for their long lives with poor heath.The last voyage is to the country of Houyhnhnms, which is controlled by horses.Gulliver felt happy with these sensible, gentle creatures, which never lied or stole, in a country which had no disease, no crime, and no wars.But at last, he had to leave.On returning to England, Gulliver felt disappointed with other humans, including his children and wife.He found himself is so stupid to think that he could bring reason and truth into their lives and thoughts.
So he told others to keep away from him.As the narrator said “human are all Yahoos and Yahoos they will remain”.Yahoo, described as an ugly animal, is a reflection of human beings.Yahoos had human faces and they also so violently fond of the pieces of gold or silver that they dig for days to get them out of the ground, and hide them jealously from other yahoos.This is really an action of human.I don’t like people who are always thinking about how to attack other countries and kill tens of thousands of people who have never hurt them.They do these only with the purpose of conquering more lands.As far as I’m concerned, if we think like the horses in Houyhnhnms, don’t let lies, crimes and wars exist, our world would be more beautiful and peaceful.In a word, don’t be a Yahoo!

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

Throughout gullivers travels,the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong.Though their intent might have been good,they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride.They mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves.The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who,having just been born, exclaims,“with this sort of entrance,what must I expect from the rest of my life!”

During the summer vacation, I read Gullivers Travels. In the novel, Gulliver, who loves sailing and adventure, travels around the world, and has experienced great and small adventure and interesting adventure with acrid irony and humor, strange imagination and exaggeration.
I was deeply attracted by the strange stories of the country of adults and the country of Lilliputians in my travel notes. However, in 1710, Gulliver sailed in North America, met the country of Huiyin on a desert island by chance, and met the king of Huiyin with kindness and honesty.
There are no such words as "lying" and "cheating" in the language of Huiyin State, and people do not understand their meaning. They do not understand what is "doubt" and what is "distrust". In their country, everything is real and transparent.
I envy Gulliver for being lucky to go to Huiyin, where we are pursuing and yearning for an ideal place. You dont need to worry about the truth of others words here. In the real society, some people use rhetoric to cheat others hard-earned money; Some people even abandon their biological parents for money
I also hope that one day our society will be like Huiyin, where children will no longer have doubts in their eyes, and education and reality will be unified. I am willing to work hard for this, and I hope that everyone can start from me and around me, so that this society can be more sincere and less hypocritical.

Gullivers Travels can be said to be the novel I have read the most times, because I have been reading this book since primary school. Its not like a novel, because it doesnt make me read a novel. Of course, how I look at it depends on how I feel at different ages.
When I was in primary school, I didnt know much about novels. Generally speaking, I read fairy tales or fables. Therefore, when I saw Gullivers Travels, I thought it was an interesting adventure fairy tale, so I bought it. However, because of this, I saw something interesting in it.
I looked at it like other stories. When I saw rope skipping on the rope, I thought it was a special game. When I saw it, it was interesting to see that Lilliputians used this to choose their official positions. When I finished reading Gulliver, I told my classmates Gullivers story in school and recommended the book to others.
Many people went to buy Gullivers Travels, which even the teacher thought was incredible. Later, the teacher understood what I had told them, and didnt say anything but smiled.
When I was in primary school, Gullivers Travels was a required reading, so I was glad I had read it. But later, through the teachers introduction to us, I understood what I had not seen - it was a satire. But I still dont understand half of it. Why does an interesting fairy tale become a satire, A novel satirizing human society? Although I still understand something through the introduction, I still cant accept this form of symbol.
Later, when I came to junior high school, I gradually understood the meaning of Gullivers Travels and many things that I had never known before. When I read Gullivers Travels again, I read it with a feeling of exclusion, because I understand that the content is an image of ugly things, a satire on things, so I dont want to think about it.
But I didnt think that when I knew I would read this book, how would I look at it? Why dont I look at this book that I have seen enough before with such eyes now? Because of growth, growth may bring us maturity and stability, but it also takes away innocence and carefree. This may be the change of human nature, and no one can escape.
Gullivers Travels gave me a view at different times, perhaps witnessing my growth and transformation day by day. We all have different views on things, but perhaps sometimes we have to think about it. If it is a different time, will we still look at things with the same eyes?
Perhaps what we should learn from this book is not satire, but to understand the passage of the world.
格列佛游記英文讀后感 12
I once read such a book, and the content in it made me feel deeply. That is Gullivers Travels. Gulliver, the hero of the book, makes me admire him very much.
The main content of the book is as follows: Gulliver, the hero, has traveled to Lilliput, Giant, Isle Kingdom, Wisdom Kingdom and other places, and encountered various strange things. He used his wisdom to survive in other countries.
For example, in Lilliput, he is a monster to those people; In the giant country, he can only be controlled by others like a child everywhere... Through these interesting stories, the author satirizes the various drawbacks of the British society at that time, reflects the main contradictions of the British society in the early 18th century, and exposes the corruption and crimes of the upper class ruling society at that time.
What impressed me most in this book was the story of Gullivers travels in Lilliput. Gulliver was a doctor. He sailed with the boat and came to Lilliput halfway.
He won the unanimous trust of villains through his calm, calm, kind and gentle character. In fact, Gulliver has the ability to subdue the residents here, but he is kind-hearted and does not choose violence to conquer. He likes to make friends with them. He is a person who treats them sincerely.
Gullivers Travels was written by Jonathanxxx The representative work of. This is an outstanding travel satirical novel. It is a portrayal of an era, "one of the great treasure houses of literature", and also a childrens travel book that can never be tired of reading. Therefore, I recommend you read it. Its good for you.
格列佛游記英文讀后感 13
These days, I read a novel called Gullivers Travels, which has brought me into a strange artistic conception with clear words and described a turbid society in humorous and ironic language. After reading, the spiritual pleasure brought by it is like a lingering sound, lasting for three days.
Of course, the twists and turns of the plot also made me jumpy. However, what impressed me most was the heros experience in Lilliput.
Driven by greed and ambition, the two countries that once had a close and friendly relationship with each other, the Brevskus Empire and the State of Lilliput, fought against each other and launched wars. The hero helped the Lilliput people defeat the invasion of the Brevskus Empire, and was highly rewarded.
After that, the hero refused to accept the unreasonable demands of other monarchs because of his justice, but the monarchs could not accept it. From then on, he planted the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the monarchs. In addition, officials secretly vilified the hero. His image in the eyes of the monarchs was like an angel turned into a devil, so that he and some court officials wanted to put the hero to death.
This is just like what the book says: "Great achievements are nothing in the eyes of the king. If you refuse to meet the kings extravagant expectations for a while, you can never be forgiven even if you have made great contributions before.".
When I read this, I trembled and felt a little chilly... The so-called advice is harsh, and the loyal minister cant please the monarch; The villain is suspicious of the gentleman, and the gentleman is naturally slandered. Thinking of this, I cant help sighing that how many loyal ministers in history can finally be treated kindly by the king? But at least the hero is almost one of them.
What I wrote in this travel note presents in my mind is a turbid and merciless life, a miniature of the past life! From the implied irony and contempt described by the author, the spirit of resistance is reflected everywhere. The social style of the country at that time reflected in the travel notes also made me understand that the progress of the times is often full of misfortune and thorns, but in any case, it is life after all, and this novel can be described as a mixture of sadness and joy.
In daily life, it seems that very few people are adventurous and brave. Once, I was taking a walk with a classmate. Suddenly, there was a spider on the wall in front. When we noticed it, the student was so scared that he hid behind me until he left. Now think about it. Its ridiculous that we should be afraid of insects a hundred times smaller than ourselves. Then we are too fragile. When we think of Gulliver fighting with a mouse a hundred times bigger than himself in the "adult country", we cant compare with him.
Gullivers adventurous spirit also made me admire him very much, which made me think of the day when the teacher asked us to go around the house to observe things and write compositions. I went to look for something under a big tree.
When I found a broken shoe, I opened it. It was full of watermelon worms. After a look, I left screaming. Now I think: What about a bunch of watermelon worms? Why dont you observe for a while? Maybe there is something to gain. While Gulliver was sailing, he encountered danger, but he still strove forward and finally succeeded.
This book is a great harvest for me!
格列佛游記英文讀后感 14
I like to have fun in the sea of books. Today, I accidentally saw a newly bought book Gullivers Travels on the bookshelf. The author of this book is an outstanding British novelist, Gullivers Travels is one of his masterpieces! When I opened Gullivers Travels, I was immediately attracted by several headlines on the catalog; The story of Lilliputian Country, the travel notes of the Lord Country, the travel notes of the Bird Country, and the travel notes of the Houyhnhnms Country. As soon as I see these, I want to look down and quickly understand the stories in Lilliputian Country, Adult Country, Bird Country.
In the book, Gulliver went to sea with a ship as a marine surgeon. Later, he encountered storms and pirates who attacked some magical countries alone and experienced many interesting and dangerous things. This book is vivid in content, which makes Gullivers writing so vivid that I am fascinated when I read it, as if I saw it.
I like the chapter of Lilliput best. Gulliver is in the Lilliputian Kingdom, just like a mountain. He can trample several Lilliputians to death if he is not careful.
A meal needs hundreds of people to cook. He can also let Lilliputians dance on his palm! When Lilliputian meets foreign enemies, the king asks Gulliver for help. Gulliver happily agrees. Lilliputian wins the war with the advantage of Gulliver, who is tall and strong.
However, Gulliver disagreed with the kings request to occupy the failed country. From the book, I found that Gullivers Travels not only wrote strange fairy tales, but also satirized.
After reading my introduction, are you excited? Would you like to read this book.
