《格列佛游记》的作者乔纳森.斯威夫特是英国著名的小说家，是一位伟大的战士和超级讽刺大师。不置可否，《格列佛游记》这本书同样是一部优秀的讽刺小说。他讽刺地道出了当时英国的特点："贪婪、党争、伪善、残暴、愤怒、怨恨、嫉妒、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耶胡。他大谈人的天性，就是心甘情愿被金钱所奴役，不是奢侈浪费就是贪得无厌。作者不仅讽刺了当时英国社会的种种，我认为更重要的是否定了整个人类社会。耶胡代表人类，而主人公却是如此厌恶耶胡。书中的字里行间都透露出作者对社会的不满。

但随着时代的变化，英国现在的政府与社会现状早就有了很大改观，也就是说作者原来的写作意图已经不再具有现实意义，但这并不妨碍《格列佛游记》在今天赢得的广泛关注，新时期的读者们又赋予了它新的内涵?

下面来让我们说一说具体内容吧：

格列佛一生的航海旅行，屡遇惊险，小人国里，先被小人们俘虏，后来又差点被刺瞎双眼；大人国中被巨人威胁卖命的演出，几乎命丧黄泉??格列佛遇到的危险不胜枚举，然而，在每次开始新的航海时他都义无反顾，这就是他对航海的执着。我们不能说格列佛最后是成功了还是失败了，但他的确获得了丰富的人生经历，让生命更有意义。这就使执着的结果，当你认定了自己的方向后，执着的追求吧，不要轻易放弃，没有人能随随便便成功。冰心说过，成功之花，人们往往惊羡它现时的明艳， 然而当初，它的芽儿却浸透了奋斗的泪泉， 洒满了牺牲的血雨??

当然，无论任何事情仅仅有执着是不够的。在这方面，我们就要承认格列佛是一个十分有头脑的人，虽然青年时期的格列佛一直积极的寻找各种机会学习知识，提高自己的能力和素质，零零散散地、东拼西凑地、他掌握了各种航海知识和技能，为自己的航海打下了坚实的基础。厚积方能勃发，这些积累让他日后受益匪浅----有足够的能力应对各种恶劣的条件。而对于我们哪？青年时期正是积累知识，提高能力的关键时刻，虽然说人应该活到老学到老，但人一生中毕竟只有一个学习的最佳时机。“时过而后学，则勤苦而难成”。我读过这样一首诗：

曾经想穿过那段最无暇的时光

去实现所有缤纷的梦想

当回首那深深浅浅的脚印

不禁顿足扼腕

恨冬日太短

夏日不长

总想把那段没走好的时光再走一遍

便知该如何珍惜每一抹霞光

每一缕黄昏

从此再也不管懵懂与疏狂。

正当年少的我们，正处在“最无暇的时光”，好好的珍惜时间，好好学习知识，不致回首时，悔不当初。

第四次航海，格列佛被聘为船长。中途水手叛变，他被放逐到“慧马国”。在那里，他遇见了一种有智慧的马，而且那里的马儿通人性，善良、仁爱、品格高尚。这是作者

把自己对社会理想注入到了慧马国，把最完美的人性灌注在慧马身上。人无完人，我们每个人不可能像慧马一样完美无暇，但有的基本品格我们还是应该具备的。比如慧马们从来就不知道什么是“撒谎”，而我们这里哪？

有一句话，我认为评论得很经典：以夸张渲染时代的生气，藉荒唐痛斥时代的弊端；在厌恨和悲观背后，应是一种苦涩的忧世情怀。

没有想到在那些朴实得如同流水账的游记中竟蕴含着这么深邃的内涵。

我期盼着有一天我们的社会也像慧因国，孩子们的眼中不再有疑虑，教育与现实是统一的。我愿为此付出努力，也希望大家与我一道，从自己做起，从现在开始做起，让这个社会多一点真诚、少一点虚伪。

 

第二篇：格列佛游记 影评

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 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 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, 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, they 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!" .
