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的格列佛,四度周游世界,經歷了大大小小驚險而有趣的奇遇。
格列佛歷險的第一地是小人國。在那里,他一只手能拖動整支海軍艦隊,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到京城,動用了五百工匠,無數繩索,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,所有的政爭和戰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勝并奴役對方,還要爭論吃雞蛋應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,結識了仁慈、誠實和友善的慧因。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,而在現實中,有著太多我們不愿看到的事情發生: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,不要上當受騙。這與我們提倡的幫助他人、愛護他人是很難統一的。當我遇到有困難的人,要伸出援助之手時,我遲疑;當有人替我解圍時,我不敢接受。這些都讓我內心感到痛苦、矛盾,無所適從。既妨礙了我去“愛”別人,同時也錯過了別人的“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,教育與現實是統一的。我愿為此付出努力,也希望大家與我一道,從自己做起,從現在開始做起,讓這個社會多一點真誠、少一點虛偽。
給我觸動最大的是格列佛的執著精神。當然,無論任何事情僅僅有執著是不夠的。在這方面,我們就要承認格列佛是一個十分有頭腦的人,雖然青年時期的格列佛一直積極的尋找各種機會學習知識,提高自己的能力和素質,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實的基礎。厚積方能勃發,這些積累讓他日后受益匪淺----有足夠的能力應對各種惡劣的條件。而對于我們哪?青年時期正是積累知識,提高能力的關鍵時刻,雖然說人應該活到老學到老,但人一生中畢竟只有一個學習的最佳時機。“時過而后學,則勤苦而難成”。我讀過這樣一首詩:曾經想穿過那段最無暇的時光,去實現所有繽紛的夢想,當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。正當年少的我們,正處在“最無暇的時光”,好好的珍惜時間,好好學習知識,不致回首時再“頓足扼腕”,悔不當初。

第五篇:格列佛游記英語讀后感
格列佛游記英語讀后感
Gulliver’s Travel 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 traveling 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 Travels tells a story of Captain Gulliver’s unique experience.Gulliver has a strong desire of traveling around the world since he grew up.However, when he became a captain, he travels 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 gave 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 have something to do with sarcasm, but to me, at least by now, is a pure fantasy and a wonderful fairy tale.
