第二篇:【格列佛游記】書評)
【格列佛游記】書評
寒假里,我讀了英國作家喬納森·斯威夫特的《格列佛游記》,小說以辛辣的諷刺與幽默、離奇的想象和夸張,描述了酷愛航海冒險(xiǎn)的格列佛,四度周游世界,經(jīng)歷了大大小小驚險(xiǎn)而有趣的奇遇。
格列佛歷險(xiǎn)的第一地是小人國。在那里,他一只手能拖動(dòng)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(gè)龐然大物運(yùn)到京城,動(dòng)用了五百工匠,無數(shù)繩索,九百個(gè)“大漢”,一萬五千匹高大的御馬等等。在如此的一個(gè)微縮國度里,所有的政爭和戰(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。
而后,格列佛又來到了大人國,他與大人國國王的一段對話,不僅構(gòu)成對英國的批評,也展示了兩種不同的思路,并使它們互為評議。
在這本書里給我印象最深的是:1710年格列佛泛舟北美,訪問了荒島上的慧因國,結(jié)識了仁慈、誠實(shí)和友善的慧因。在慧因國的語言中沒有“撒謊”和“欺騙”這樣的字眼,人們更不理解它的含義。他們不懂什么叫“懷疑”、什么是“不信任”,在他們的國度里一切都是真實(shí)的、透明的。
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、有人拐賣兒童謀取暴利、有人甚至為了金錢犧牲自己的一切。難怪我們的老師、長輩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(cuò)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(huì)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(gè)社會(huì)多一點(diǎn)真誠、少一點(diǎn)虛偽。
給我觸動(dòng)最大的是格列佛的執(zhí)著精神。當(dāng)然,無論任何事情僅僅有執(zhí)著是不夠的。在這方面,我們就要承認(rèn)格列佛是一個(gè)十分有頭腦的人,雖然青年時(shí)期的格列佛一直積極的尋找各種機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)知識,提高自己的能力和素質(zhì),零零散散地、東拼西湊地、他掌握了各種航海知識和技能,為自己的航海打下了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。厚積方能勃發(fā),這些積累讓他日后受益匪淺----有足夠的能力應(yīng)對各種惡劣的條件。而對于我們哪?青年時(shí)期正是積累知識,提高能力的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻,雖然說人應(yīng)該活到老學(xué)到老,但人一生中畢竟只有一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)的最佳時(shí)機(jī)。“時(shí)過而后學(xué),則勤苦而難成”。我讀過這樣一首詩:曾經(jīng)想穿過那段最無暇的時(shí)光,去實(shí)現(xiàn)所有繽紛的夢想,當(dāng)回首那深深淺淺的腳印,不禁頓足扼腕,恨冬日太短,夏日不長,總想把那段沒走好的時(shí)光再走一遍,便知該如何珍惜每一抹霞光,每一縷黃昏,從此再也不管懵懂與疏狂。正當(dāng)年少的我們,正處在“最無暇的時(shí)光”,好好的珍惜時(shí)間,好好學(xué)習(xí)知識,不致回首時(shí)再“頓足扼腕”,悔不當(dāng)初。

Book’s name: Gulliver’s Travels
Author’s name: Jonathan Swift
The book was published by Tsinghua University Press
(2008.5)
Abstract
1.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 various
revolution of states and empires;the changes in the lower and upper world
4.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 isolated societies 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 strong
storm ,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 him.Later 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 plot
attracted me so much that that I can clearly remember the story when I close the book.What’s more, through the 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, this book 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.
第五篇:格列佛游記英文讀后感
Gulliver’s Travels
When writing the experience in the country of Houyhnhnms, Jonathan Swift satirizes a lot of hideous phenomena and social figures—lawyers, doctors, chief ministers and noble persons in chapter VI.I.Lawyers
At the beginning of this chapter, the author mentions lawyers by using such words--perplex, disquiet, weary and injustice, totally the opposite what a lawyer should be like.When Gulliver tries to describe the reason why they do so many evil things, the horses just can’t understand.Of course, for those civil horses who do things in a manner of justice and law, how can they understand these indecent deeds.The sharp contrast between horses and yahoos strongly satirizes the degenerate society in England at that time, where there was no justice and equality at all.Money was the only thing those people chased throughout their life.Then the author talks about the money, the lust and the exploitation.By using hyperbole that “This whole globe of earth must be at least three times gone around, before one of our better female Yahoos could get her breakfast, or a cup to put it in” to satire the luxurious rich people’s ruthless persecution on the poor.Here Swift makes a long list of crimes—such as begging, robbing, stealing, by doing which poor people can seek their livelihood, making the life of lower class much more miserable.II.Doctors
In the following paragraphs, Swift talks about diseases which have killed a large number of people, some even propagating to later generations.To cure these diseases, a magic tribe emerged.Just as the so-called lawyers Swift mentions at the very beginning, the doctors and their “miraculous” diagnostics follows to be satirized.In the author’s description, doctors here never fail to predict their patients’ diseases, or they would make their predictions seemingly accurate by all means—deadly poison or something like that.All in all, anyone who has been unluckily sentenced death by those doctors will soon die.“They are likewise of special use to husbands and wives who are grown weary of their mates, to eldest sons, to great ministers of state, and often to princes.” In this sentence, here “they” refer to those death-like doctors.With the special help of them, people with some evil thoughts can achieve what they desperately expect.Very cleverly, by criticizing the doctors’ immorality, Swift also satirizes the social ills like disloyalty between couples, betrayals among brothers and offices.III.Chief Ministers
In the next paragraph, Swift turns his sharp nib to the chief ministers.Those people are so hypocritical and deceptive that they discard all their human feelings, but to chase power, wealth and titles—as Swift directly points out.No one can guess their true feelings.Here Swift uses several antitheses to show their hypocrisy.Truth for lie;lie as truth.Both praise and deformation are bad omens.What’s more, their promise resembles the curse.Then the author jokingly offers three methods about how to become a chief minister.That’s where the highlight is.“First, by knowing how with prudence to
dispose of a wife, a daughter, or a sister;the second, by betraying or undermining his predecessor;and the third is, by a furious zeal in public assemblies against the corruptions of the court.” shows that only by betrayal, conspiracy and something immoral can one become a chief minister.“The palace of a ’chief minister’ is a seminary to breed up others in his own trade.” By using metaphor, the author ironically criticizes the English chief ministers, who are dirty and corrupted.IV.Noble Persons
Last but not least, Jonathan Swift reveals the true figures of the nobility.The author takes Gulliver himself—who is much healthier and cleaner than those Yahoos but born the lower class as an example to satire the noble persons.With odious diseases derived from lewd females and terrible personality caused by being spoiled, they regard their unhealthy complexion as grace, and mock those robust persons instead.Their twist and reverse values actually reflect the deformed social value system at that time.Money worship leads them to marry those they don’t love, even to give birth to malformed children.How ridiculous!
“Without the consent of this illustrious body no law can be made, repealed, or altered, and these have the decision of our possessions without appeal.” At the end of the this part, the author again uses irony to mention that all the society is under the control of those both physically and psychologically ill persons, as implicates that the whole society is in the darkness of sickness.V.Conclusion
Jonathan Swift is a genius in sarcasm.Reading his novel—Gulliver’s Travels, one can find that every page is filled with his sharp sarcasm and irony.
