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 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

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：格列佛游记的读后感

文/许炜曦

莎士比亚曾经说过：“生活里没有书籍，就好像没有阳光；智慧里没有书籍，就好像鸟儿没有翅膀。”而文学著作里蕴含这的伟大人物的光芒与智慧和先哲的人生经验往往给后人带来丰富的遐想。而对于它跨时代的思想性给后人带来的是心意与个性。一代人甚至是几代人都不断的从中吸取着心灵的养料。

《格列佛游记》正是这样的一部名著

有人说它是世界讽刺学上的一部著作，有人说它是最有影响力的书之一，也有人说它是就算所有的书都被毁灭也要保留的六本书之一。它成就了十八，十九世纪新一代的文学狂潮。

今天，我有幸看到了这部名著。

《格列佛游记》中最富有讽刺意味的章节是“慧驹国游记”。

格列佛出外航海，当了船长。而他的部下共谋不轨，把他长期禁忌再舱里，后来又把他抛弃在不知名的陆地上，正是在这片陆地上他遇到了神奇的一种生物“慧驹”

“友谊与仁慈是”慧驹“的两种主要美德；这两种美德并不限于个别”慧驹“类，而是遍及全”慧驹“类。从遥远的地方来的客人和最亲近的邻人一样都会受到款待，不管它到哪儿都想到了家里一样。它们非常有礼貌，但是一点也不拘泥形式。它们绝不溺爱小马，但是他们对子女的的教育却完全以理性为绳准。我看见我的主人爱抚邻人的儿女像爱抚自己的儿女一样，它们遵从大自然的教育热爱自己的同类。只有理性才可以把人分为几等，因为有的人德行较为优越。”

当然，慧驹国也有另一种生物“耶胡”

“我的主人告诉过我，”耶胡“还有几种很突出的特性，它却没有听见我说起过人类是否也有这几种特性。它说这种牲畜跟别的牲畜一样有公的，有母的，但是和别的动物有一点不同，母”耶胡“就是怀了孕也还会个别公”耶胡“交接。同时公”耶胡“和母”耶胡“也像两头公”耶胡“一样拼命地争吵，打架。这两件事都达到了参保无耻的地步，这是在是任何其他有感情的动物都做不出来的。”

《格列佛游记》这部著作倾其作者一生的心血，生命超越了时代和地域，成为世界文学辉煌的瑰宝。这本书的构思源与朋友的一次聚会，斯威夫特谈到当时政界种种贪婪无耻的行径万分激动，信笔开始了《格列佛游记》第一卷的创作。200多年来，它被译成几十种文字，在世界各地广为流传。

作者斯威夫特年轻时患有脑病，几年后日益加剧，时常昏迷不醒。1754年10月19日，斯威夫特在黑暗与孤寂中告别人世，享年78岁。墓碑自撰的铭文表现了他一生的矛盾：“他去了，狂野的怒火再也不会烧伤他的心。”同事不忘激励世人：“前进，过路人，如果可能你就学着做一个光荣的自友事业的热情保卫着吧！”

斯威夫特，不朽的传奇；斯威夫特，不灭的神话！

格列佛游记的读后感

格列佛，在羚羊号上担任医生，船长布利查是我的好朋友，我们一起出海6年了。

羚羊号不幸撞上了几块礁石，格列佛又到了岸上。第2天，有几个很小很小的人，站在格列佛的身上。有许许多多的小人在射格列佛的眼睛可是他们的

剑法太差了。

有一个小小演讲台，台上以经站好了三个人，在他们演讲的时候，我感到了饥饿难忍……

这个故事的道理太多太多了让我明白了太多太多

的大道理比如落水的时候可以游……

看来我一定要像格列佛好好得学习学习了。

格列佛游记的读后感

当双手合上斯威夫特写的《格列佛游记》时，我的思绪以飘向那遥远的印度洋。在海上跟勇敢的格列佛经历着一次又一次不平凡的经历。

莱妙尔格列佛是一名英国人，他是一名随船医生，更是一名勇敢的探险家，他曾多次远渡重洋，周游列国。他去过很多地方，团结有善的小人国，热爱和平的大人国，信仰占星学又有点忧天的飞岛国，品质高尚的慧因国，每去一个地方，他都会遇到许多危险，但最后总能化险为夷，格里佛的一生是精彩的！他的生命充满的冒险与挑战，尽管生活也有冷酷的一面，但他却勇敢的将命运的重担挑起来，让其尽情的绽放生命之花。

诚然我们的生命没有格列佛那般离奇刺激，但我们却不能没有格列佛勇敢的精神。我们每个人都是一首歌，让我们像格列佛一样笑对生活，笑对人生。

第四篇：格列佛游记读后感

在这些虚构的国度里可以找到当时英国社会的痕迹。作品集中反映了18世纪前半期英国社会的种种矛盾，对英国政治制度作了辛辣的讽刺。如小人国里的高跟鞋代表的是当时的辉格党，而低跟鞋代表的是托利党，关于打破鸡蛋是从大的一头打还是从小的一头打的争论反映了宗教战争。主人公格列佛勤劳、勇敢、机智、善良。作品想象丰富，构思奇特，

勾画出一个五彩缤纷的神奇世界。幻想与现实的有机统一是这部作品的最大特点。

第五篇：格列佛游记读后感

《格列佛游记》是一部杰出的讽刺小说，它以辛辣的讽刺与幽默、离奇的想象与夸张，

描述了酷爱航海冒险的格列佛四度周游世界，大大小小惊险而又有趣的奇遇。

游记中小人国、大人国里光怪离奇的故事深深地吸引了我，然而给我印象最深的是，1710

年格列佛泛舟北美，巧访了荒岛上的慧因国，结识了具有仁慈、诚实和友谊美德的慧因。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。

我很羡慕文中的主人公有幸能到慧因国，慧因国是我们所追求和向往的理想境地，在这

里你不需顾虑别人说话的真假，而在现实的世界，有着太多我们不愿看到的事情常常发生：

有人用花言巧语骗取别人的血汗钱、有人拐卖儿童谋取暴利、有人甚至为了金钱抛弃自己的

亲身父母。难怪我们的老师、长辈从小就教育我们要提高警惕，不要上当受骗。这与我们提

倡的帮助他人、爱护他人是很难统一的。当我遇到有困难的人，要伸出援助之手时，我迟疑；

当有人替我解围时，我不敢接受。这些都让我内心感到痛苦、矛盾，无所适从。既妨碍了我

去“爱”别人，同时也错过了别人的“爱”，在难道不是一种悲哀吗？

无法想象：曾经来往繁密，友好的两个国家，不来夫斯古帝国和利里浦特国，受贪婪

野心的驱动，导致兵戈相向，发动战争，主人公帮助利里浦特人打败了不来夫斯古帝国的入

侵，受到厚赏。而之后主人公因心存正义而直接拒绝他国国君的无理要求，却让国君无法接

受，从此在国君心中种下憎恨的幼苗，再加上官员暗中中伤主人公，他在国君心目中的形象

一下子宛如天使变为魔鬼，以至与个别朝廷官员想把主人公置之死。

这本书给我留下最深刻印象的是格列佛在慧骃国的经历。这个国家的统治者是富有理

性，公正而又诚实的马，供马驱使的耶胡却是一群丑陋龌龊、贪婪淫荡、残酷好斗的畜类。

耶胡好吃懒做，贪得无厌，特别喜欢在田间寻找一种发亮的石头，还为了争夺石头，大打出

手，甚至发动大规模的战争。从耶胡的种种特性来看，当时的社会罪恶者诸如贪财好斗、酗

酒荒淫。作者所创造的耶胡无非是对当时英国的社会政治生活和恶劣风尚的集中讽刺。

作者讽刺地道出了当时英国的特点："贪婪、党争、伪善、无信、残暴、愤怒、疯狂、怨恨、

嫉妒、淫欲、阴险和野心。他挖苦地描述了人兽颠倒的怪诞现象：马成了理性的载体，而人

则化作脏臭、贪婪刁难的下等动物。他大谈人的天性，不心甘情愿被金钱所奴役，就是奢侈

浪费、贪得无厌。

看完《格列佛游记》之后，我们不能不审视自己，我们身上有没有这些顽疾劣根的影子。
