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 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 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, sblo

od, 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 don't 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 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 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 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

conclusion ：

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.

第三篇：格列佛遊記的讀後感

文/許煒曦

莎士比亞曾經說過：“生活裏沒有書籍，就好像沒有陽光；智慧裏沒有書籍，就好像鳥兒沒有翅膀。”而文學著作裏蘊含這的偉大人物的光芒與智慧和先哲的人生經驗往往給後人帶來豐富的遐想。而對於它跨時代的思想性給後人帶來的是心意與個性。一代人甚至是幾代人都不斷的從中吸取着心靈的養料。

《格列佛遊記》正是這樣的一部名著

有人說它是世界諷刺學上的一部著作，有人說它是最有影響力的書之一，也有人說它是就算所有的書都被毀滅也要保留的六本書之一。它成就了十八，十九世紀新一代的文學狂潮。

今天，我有幸看到了這部名著。

《格列佛遊記》中最富有諷刺意味的章節是“慧駒國遊記”。

格列佛出外航海，當了船長。而他的部下共謀不軌，把他長期禁忌再艙裏，後來又把他拋棄在不知名的陸地上，正是在這片陸地上他遇到了神奇的一種生物“慧駒”

“友誼與仁慈是”慧駒“的兩種主要美德；這兩種美德並不限於個別”慧駒“類，而是遍及全”慧駒“類。從遙遠的地方來的客人和最親近的鄰人一樣都會受到款待，不管它到哪兒都想到了家裏一樣。它們非常有禮貌，但是一點也不拘泥形式。它們絕不溺愛小馬，但是他們對子女的的教育卻完全以理性爲繩準。我看見我的主人愛撫鄰人的兒女像愛撫自己的兒女一樣，它們遵從大自然的教育熱愛自己的同類。只有理性纔可以把人分爲幾等，因爲有的人德行較爲優越。”

當然，慧駒國也有另一種生物“耶胡”

“我的主人告訴過我，”耶胡“還有幾種很突出的特性，它卻沒有聽見我說起過人類是否也有這幾種特性。它說這種牲畜跟別的牲畜一樣有公的，有母的，但是和別的動物有一點不同，母”耶胡“就是懷了孕也還會個別公”耶胡“交接。同時公”耶胡“和母”耶胡“也像兩頭公”耶胡“一樣拼命地爭吵，打架。這兩件事都達到了參保無恥的地步，這是在是任何其他有感情的動物都做不出來的。”

《格列佛遊記》這部著作傾其作者一生的心血，生命超越了時代和地域，成爲世界文學輝煌的瑰寶。這本書的構思源與朋友的一次聚會，斯威夫特談到當時政界種種貪婪無恥的行徑萬分激動，信筆開始了《格列佛遊記》第一卷的創作。200多年來，它被譯成幾十種文字，在世界各地廣爲流傳。

作者斯威夫特年輕時患有腦病，幾年後日益加劇，時常昏迷不醒。1754年10月19日，斯威夫特在黑暗與孤寂中告別人世，享年78歲。墓碑自撰的銘文表現了他一生的矛盾：“他去了，狂野的怒火再也不會燒傷他的心。”同事不忘激勵世人：“前進，過路人，如果可能你就學着做一個光榮的自友事業的熱情保衛着吧！”

斯威夫特，不朽的傳奇；斯威夫特，不滅的神話！

格列佛遊記的讀後感

格列佛，在羚羊號上擔任醫生，船長布利查是我的好朋友，我們一起出海6年了。

羚羊號不幸撞上了幾塊礁石，格列佛又到了岸上。第2天，有幾個很小很小的人，站在格列佛的身上。有許許多多的小人在射格列佛的眼睛可是他們的

劍法太差了。

有一個小小演講臺，臺上以經站好了三個人，在他們演講的時候，我感到了飢餓難忍……

這個故事的道理太多太多了讓我明白了太多太多

的大道理比如落水的時候可以遊……

看來我一定要像格列佛好好得學習學習了。

格列佛遊記的讀後感

當雙手合上斯威夫特寫的《格列佛遊記》時，我的思緒以飄向那遙遠的印度洋。在海上跟勇敢的格列佛經歷着一次又一次不平凡的經歷。

萊妙爾格列佛是一名英國人，他是一名隨船醫生，更是一名勇敢的探險家，他曾多次遠渡重洋，周遊列國。他去過很多地方，團結有善的小人國，熱愛和平的大人國，信仰占星學又有點憂天的飛島國，品質高尚的慧因國，每去一個地方，他都會遇到許多危險，但最後總能化險爲夷，格里佛的一生是精彩的！他的生命充滿的冒險與挑戰，儘管生活也有冷酷的一面，但他卻勇敢的將命運的重擔挑起來，讓其盡情的綻放生命之花。

誠然我們的生命沒有格列佛那般離奇刺激，但我們卻不能沒有格列佛勇敢的精神。我們每個人都是一首歌，讓我們像格列佛一樣笑對生活，笑對人生。

第四篇：格列佛遊記讀後感

在這些虛構的國度裏可以找到當時英國社會的痕跡。作品集中反映了18世紀前半期英國社會的種種矛盾，對英國政治制度作了辛辣的諷刺。如小人國裏的高跟鞋代表的是當時的輝格黨，而低跟鞋代表的是託利黨，關於打破雞蛋是從大的一頭打還是從小的一頭打的爭論反映了宗教戰爭。主人公格列佛勤勞、勇敢、機智、善良。作品想象豐富，構思奇特，

勾畫出一個五彩繽紛的神奇世界。幻想與現實的有機統一是這部作品的最大特點。

第五篇：格列佛遊記讀後感

《格列佛遊記》是一部傑出的諷刺小說，它以辛辣的諷刺與幽默、離奇的想象與誇張，

描述了酷愛航海冒險的格列佛四度周遊世界，大大小小驚險而又有趣的奇遇。

遊記中小人國、大人國裏光怪離奇的故事深深地吸引了我，然而給我印象最深的是，1710

年格列佛泛舟北美，巧訪了荒島上的慧因國，結識了具有仁慈、誠實和友誼美德的慧因。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

麼叫“懷疑”、什麼是“不信任”，在他們的國度裏一切都是真實的、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嚮往的理想境地，在這

裏你不需顧慮別人說話的真假，而在現實的世界，有着太多我們不願看到的事情常常發生：

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、有人甚至爲了金錢拋棄自己的

親身父母。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”，在難道不是一種悲哀嗎？

無法想象：曾經來往繁密，友好的兩個國家，不來夫斯古帝國和利裏浦特國，受貪婪

野心的驅動，導致兵戈相向，發動戰爭，主人公幫助利裏浦特人打敗了不來夫斯古帝國的入

侵，受到厚賞。而之後主人公因心存正義而直接拒絕他國國君的無理要求，卻讓國君無法接

受，從此在國君心中種下憎恨的幼苗，再加上官員暗中中傷主人公，他在國君心目中的形象

一下子宛如天使變爲魔鬼，以至與個別朝廷官員想把主人公置之死。

這本書給我留下最深刻印象的是格列佛在慧駰國的經歷。這個國家的統治者是富有理

性，公正而又誠實的馬，供馬驅使的耶胡卻是一羣醜陋齷齪、貪婪淫蕩、殘酷好鬥的畜類。

耶胡好吃懶做，貪得無厭，特別喜歡在田間尋找一種發亮的石頭，還爲了爭奪石頭，大打出

手，甚至發動大規模的戰爭。從耶胡的種種特性來看，當時的社會罪惡者諸如貪財好鬥、酗

酒荒淫。作者所創造的耶胡無非是對當時英國的社會政治生活和惡劣風尚的集中諷刺。

作者諷刺地道出了當時英國的特點："貪婪、黨爭、僞善、無信、殘暴、憤怒、瘋狂、怨恨、

嫉妒、淫慾、陰險和野心。他挖苦地描述了人獸顛倒的怪誕現象：馬成了理性的載體，而人

則化作髒臭、貪婪刁難的下等動物。他大談人的天性，不心甘情願被金錢所奴役，就是奢侈

浪費、貪得無厭。

看完《格列佛遊記》之後，我們不能不審視自己，我們身上有沒有這些頑疾劣根的影子。
