man like Gulliver, because I am greatly inspired by his courage.Gulliver is the person, who travels several lands.Today I will share one of his voyages with you.The 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.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．But he has experienced much, not only happy things but also unhappy things.As a reader of this novel, I can imagine how exciting the voyage was through the words written by the author.At last ,I hope I could have the chance to travel the world like Gulliver.I eagerly want to live in a magic land ,I think it must be exciting.In fact ,I more hope our classmates can help and understand each other like characters of the novel.And make our class more harmony ,make us more happy.Thank you!

第三篇：格列佛游记英文读后感
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!
第四篇：《格列佛游记》英文读后感
One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms r
老人与海英文读后感epresent 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 Gullver 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 g
reatest 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.A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society.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, the
y 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 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!”.
