Gulliver's Travel格列佛游记英文读后感（原创，人格保证）

"When bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I perceived a human not six inches high!" I haven't read this book since I read it as a child, and it was amazing how much of it had stuck with me, and how vividly. Gulliver's Travels is one of the most exciting adventures novels.

I like reading the adventure stories ,and I read many books,but Gulliver's Travels is one of the most exciting fantasy adventures ever written. Gulliver's Travels are broken up into four parts. The first two parts are the most famous, where Gulliver visits is a land in which he is a giant and another in which it is filled with giants。

When Lemuel Gulliver sets off from London on a sea voyage, little does he know the many incredible and unbelievable misadventures awaiting him. Shipwrecked at sea and nearly drowned, he washes ashore upon an exotic island called Lilliput-where the people are only six inches tall! Next he visits a land of incredible giants called Brobdingnagians. They are more than sixty feet tall! He travels to Laputa, a city that floats in the sky, and to Glubbdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers. His final voyage brings him into contact with the Yahoos-a brutish race of subhumans-and an intelligent and virtuous race of horse, the Houyhnhnms.

After I have read this book，I admire for Gulliver's Wisdom , courage and Spirit taking risks very much，He is a man different from the rest. As soon as he see the sea ,he could not keep his impetuous of adventure. As a doctor，he often took the travelling ship to everywhere.thought that the crew sees a doctor for the excuse to travle around the world and everywhere risk.

This is the spirit being bold in making innovations. By the Gulliver's Travels ,the writer not only satirized the United Kingdom system at that time ，but also made a hero who like taking risks.We should learn the spirit being bold in making innovations ,don’t afraid of difficulty and dangerous , just like Gulliver.

I have been enchanted when reading this book . Seem to be that I and he adventure together. And I admired him for his resourceful and brave .

 

第二篇：格列佛游记读后感 英文

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 edition I 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!
