Are our faculties lost?
• When I had answered all his questions, and his curiosity seemed to be fully satisfied, he sent for me one morning early, and commanded me to sit down at some distance (an honour which he had never before conferred upon me). He said, "he had been very seriously considering my whole story, as far as it related both to myself and my country; that he looked upon us as a sort of animals, to whose share, by what accident he could not conjecture, some small pittance of reason had fallen, whereof we made no other use, than by its assistance, to aggravate our natural corruptions, and to acquire new ones, which nature had not given us; that we disarmed ourselves of the few abilities she had bestowed; had been very successful in multiplying our original wants, and seemed to spend our whole lives in vain endeavours to supply them by our own inventions; that, as to myself, it was manifest I had neither the strength nor agility of a common yahoo; that I walked infirmly on my hinder feet; had found out a contrivance to make my claws of no use or defence, and to remove the hair from my chin, which was intended as a shelter from the sun and the weather. lastly, that I could neither run with speed, nor climb trees like my brethren," as he called them, "the yahoos in his country.
1. loss of natural faculties (para.1, pp42) 2. fond of wars (international and civil)(para.3, pp42-43) 3. avarice for shining stones (para.2-3, p43) 4. undistinguishing appetite to eating and drinking(Para.5-6,p43) 5. subject to diseases (para.7 pp43-44) 6. contracted with infamous brutality (para.4, p44) 7. disposition to nastiness and dirt (para.5, p44) 8. spleen on the lazy, luxurious and rich (para.6, pp44-45) 9. rudiments of lewdness, coquetry, censure and scandal in womanhood (para.2-4, p45) C. the constitution and administration ( with parallel cases and comparisons) 1. gross defects in reason and virtue (para.2, p42) 2. Courts of Equity (para.4, p43) 3. courts and favourites and ministers of states (para.2, p44)
• The changing claims of Houyhnhnm:
a race of mortals– excellent quadrupeds— so acute a judgment as my master– so strict an examiner—his honour
My stronger motive
A. two motives (an irony: his great love for native country) 1. to disclose the truth (para.1, p41) 2. never to return to humankind (Para.2, p41)
B. Human nature (compared with Yahoo)
• Appreciate the beauty of the following texts and feel the art of satire !
My first motive to disclose the truth!
•
The reader may be disposed to wonder how I could prevail on myself to give so free a representation of my own species, among a race of mortals who are already too apt to conceive the vilest opinion of humankind, from that entire congruity between me and their yahoos. But I must freely confess, that the many virtues of those excellent quadrupeds, placed in opposite view to human corruptions, had so far opened my eyes and enlarged my understanding, that I began to view the actions and passions of man in a very different light, and to think the honour of my own kind not worth managing; which, besides, it was impossible for me to do, before a person of so acute a judgment as my master, who daily convinced me of a thousand faults in myself, whereof I had not the least perception before, and which, with us, would never be numbered even among human infirmities. I had likewise learned, from his example, an utter detestation of all falsehood or disguise; and truth appeared so amiable to me, that I determined upon sacrificing every thing to it.
Gulliver's_Travels
在第四卷里，关于“钱”的那段议论就是如此。格列佛来 到没有金钱，没有军队警察的慧駰（马）国，向他的马主人解 释说：“我们那里的野猢认为，不管是用还是攒，钱都是越多 越好，没有个够的时候。因为他们天性如此，不是奢侈浪费就 是贪得无厌。富人享受着穷人的劳动成果，而穷人和富人在数 量上的比例是一千比一。因此我们的人民大多数被迫过着悲惨 的生活……”。作者注意到资本主义社会人与人之间的纯粹的 金钱关系。并由此对人性产生了疑问。
故事梗概

第二卷：布罗卜丁奈格（大人国）游记。格列佛在利立浦 特人的心目中是个宠然大物，但一到布罗卜丁奈格，他就 象田间的鼬鼠一般小了。格列佛被当作小玩艺装入手提箱 里，带到各城镇表演展览。后来，国王召见他，他慷慨陈 辞，夸耀自己的祖国的伟大，政治的贤明，法律的公正， 然而均一一遭到国王的抨击与驳斥。
----Jonathan Swift

格列佛游记（英文原版，Gullivers Travels）"的介绍"When bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I perceived a human not six inches high!"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.First published in 1726, Gulliver's Travels remains one of the most exciting fantasy adventures ever written."格列佛游记（英文原版，Gullivers Travels）"的作者简介(1667-1745), ed. at Trinity College, Dublin, entered household of Sir W.

Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)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. There were sections (particularly in Brobdingnag) where I could almost recite word-for-word what was going to happen next.Happily, like Alice in Wonderland, this is a book that ages very well. There was still the element of being just a plain old good travel story with strong images (particularly in the Lilliput and Brobdingnag sections) but there was also awicked sense of satire that continues to be relevant and funny now more than three hundred years after the book was originally written.The latter two sections of the book-- Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms-- are perhaps a little less vivid for being more pointed in their satirical content (interestingly I have no memory of these sections from my childhood reading) but that in no way detracts from the value of the book.A must-read.Reviewer: Brian P. McDonnell (Holbrook, MA USA)Gulliver's Travels are broken up into four parts. The first two parts are the most famous, where Gulliver visits a land in which he is a giant and another in which it is filled with giants. Although they are very good, I found them somewhat boring. This is probably due tot he fact that I had heard these stories in so many variations already, they no longer had that originality to them. The next two parts however I found to be excellent. Several authors have expounded upon these stories or have continued them in one form of another of them. It is good to finally find the source of such great insight. For example the world in the clouds is quite humorous, and Douglas Adams makes a similar use of this satire in one of his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe series. The island of wizard's where you can call up any of the dead to have them tell their part in history can be seen in "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" by Philip Jose Farmer (a Hugo award winner.) The final part about humans being nothing but Yahoos, and inferior to Horses is brilliant. A reversal of roles with other animals to give us a new perspective of ourselves is imitated in other such classics as "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells, "The Island of Dr. Monreau" also by H.G. Wells, "Planet of the Apes", "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, plus several Star Trek and Twilight Zone episodes.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 whySwift 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" .。
英国文学读书报告Gulliver’s Travels
班级：英语1班学号：姓名：Gulliver’s TravelsBy Jonathan SwiftJonathan Swift (1667-1745) , the author of Gulliver’s Travels .He was born in Dublin, Ireland on 30 November 1667, second child and only son of Jonathan Swift1 . And he was compelled to accept aid from relatives, who gave it grudgingly. In 1726, he wrote and published his greatest satiric work, Gulliver's Travels. Swift was a man of great moral integrity and social charm. He had many friends in the literary circle and was also admired and loved by many of the distinguished men of his time. A man with a bitter life experience, he had a deep hatred for all the rich oppressors and a deep sympathy for all the poor and oppressed. His understanding of human nature is profound. In his opinion, human nature is seriously and permanently flawed. To better human life, enlightenment is needed, but to redress it is very hard. So, in his writings, although he intends not to condemn but to reform and improve human nature and human institutions, there is often an under—or over tone of helplessness and indignation.Swift is a master satirist. His satire is usually masked by an outward gravity and an apparent earnestness which renders his satire all the more powerful. Swift is one of the greatest masters of English prose. He is almost unsurpassed in the writing of simple, direct, precise prose. He defined a good style as "proper words in proper places." Clear, simple, concrete diction, uncomplicated sentence structure, economy and conciseness of language mark all his writings essays, poems and novels.The book begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver, in the style of books of the time, gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages. He enjoys traveling, although it is that love of travel that is his downfall.During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches tall, who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behavior, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court.When the sailing ship Adventure is blown off course by storms and forced to put in to land for want of fresh water, Gulliver is abandoned by his companions and found by a farmer who is 72 feet tall (the scale of Brobdingnag is about 12:1, compared to Lilliput's 1:12, judging from Gulliver estimating a man's step being 10 yards.)A V oyage to Laputa , Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan, After Gulliver's ship is attacked by pirates, he is marooned close to a desolate rocky island, near India. Fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics but unable to use them for practical ends.A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms，A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms, Gulliver becomes a member of a horse's household, and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle, rejecting his fellow humans as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them.Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726, Jonathan's first big dive into prose. Though it's been pretty solidly labeled a children's book, it's also a great satire of the times that is pretty much beyond most children. It shows Jonathan's desire to encourage people to read deeper and not take things for granted: readers who paid attention could match all of Gulliver's tall tales with current events and long-term societal problems. From this story, we can see the author’s deep though for the human society. The authors used the irony to write the absurd and bizarre plot, profoundly reflects the meaningless partisan struggle of British Parliament at that time, the fatuity and corrupt of ruling clique, and criticized the cruel colonial war. At the same time, in a certain extent, it praises of the colonial people against the ruler of the struggle. After reading the book, I can see that these four different places reflect the complex and ugly of human society .Swift was intensely critical of his time, its rational thinking ,its corrupt institutions, and its social evil and injustice in general. To ourselves in the little thing of our society , we every one should examinate ourselves that if we can get rid of bad habits. We can take care of those little things in life. Although the Houyhnhnms society are still far away from us, there are also many virtuous people trying hard to help the world. If everyone keep their good side in the society all the time, the society will be more better. This work of Swift is not only a children’s book, but also a great work for people to rethink profoundly for their life, their society and theirselves. Maybe the human beings is intolerable and terrible in Swift’s book, but so it does, we need the book to urge us .。

Gulliver makes our deep-sea voyages, which are described in the four parts of the book.
Houyhnhnms Laputa
Lilliput Brobdingnag
The first part tells about his experience in Lilliput, where the inhabitants are only six inches tall, twelve times smaller than the normal human beings and all the things they have or say or do are simply miniatures of what is the real world. In the second part, Gulliver is left alone in Brobdingnag where people are not only ten times taller and larger than ordinary human beings, but also superior in wisdom. The third part deals mainly with his accidental visit to the Laputa , where the philosophers and projectors devote all their time and energy to the study of some absurd problems. The last part is a most interesting account of his discoveries in the Houyhnhnm land, where horses are endowed with reason and all good and admirable qualities, and are the governing class.

Gulliver’sTravels读书报告
姓名：班级：学号：日期：A Book Report on Gulliver’s TravelsGulliver’s Travels is a immortal novel by Jonathan Swift(1667-1745), an English great satirist as well as essayist, political pamphleteer, poet and priest of the eighteenth century. Jonathan Swift, born in Dublin, Ireland, studied at Dublin's Trinity College. At 19, he went to England to serve as a private secretary to Sir William Temple, a powerful English statesman.In 1710, he was the editor of the official Tory organ, The Examiner and became dean of St. Patrick’s Ca thedral in 1713. Later, he joined in the struggle of the Irish people against their English oppressors. In 1742 he was declared of unsound mind and memory and died on 19 October 1745.The plot of the Gulliver’s Travels comprises the extraordinary adventures of Doctor Lemuel Gulliver, descriptions of fantastic lands visited by him, their social systems, ways and customs of their inhabitants.Gulliver’s Travels includes four parts.The first part: adventures on the island of Lilliput where the people are only six inches tall!The second part: adventures on the island of incredible giants called Brobdingnagians. They are more than sixty feet tall and the King of Brobdingnag is wise and kind, the inhabitants are civilized race and the law is used to protect freedom and happiness to censures social evilsThe third part: the least interesting, the hero’s adventures at several places—the floating island of Laputa, a city that floats in the sky, and to Glubbdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers.The fourth part; the best part, his voyage to the country of Houyhnhnms, which brings him into contact with the Y ahoos-a brutish race of subhumans and an intelligent and virtuous race of horse-the Houyhnhnms.The book is commonly presented to young children as a kind of 'fairy story', but it is clear that Swift intended many levels of meaning within the novel, and these are not always visible to younger readers. The four sections of Swift's satire each comment on different aspects of society. The firstsection, detailing a voyage to Lilliput, a land of tiny people, shows how society reacts to larger people; namely with fear. The second part, his voyage to Brobdingnag, a land of giants, shows how society often treats smaller people; as curiosities. The third section, Laputa, shows how society treats people who are different, while the fourth, the land of the Houyhnhnms details slavery and class ideas within Swift's society.Swift uses many literary techniques in Gulliver's Travels to convey his ideas including irony, humour, comments on individuals and society in general and long lists followed by sharp statements. The book is easy to read for young children, while still providing a challenge to the thinking adult. Y oung readers may see only the surface of the story, while adults can penetrate the depths of his writing. Such adults may be confused, even vexed, as to Swift's meaning, primarily because of his humour and comparisons between several different societies.。

格列佛游记英文书
格列佛游记英文书Gulliver's Travels: An Adventure Across Time and SpaceGulliver's Travels, also known as "Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships," is a satirical novel written by Jonathan Swift. Originally published in 1726, this timeless masterpiece has captivated readers for centuries.The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a professional surgeon turned sea captain, as he embarks on a series of extraordinary adventures. The novel is divided into four parts, with each part taking Gulliver to a different remote nation.In the first part, Gulliver finds himself in Lilliput, a land of tiny people who are approximately six inches tall. He becomes a giant among them, and the Lilliputians are both fascinated and wary of his presence. Gulliver is initially welcomed, but as the story unfolds, he becomes entangled in political conflicts and power struggles that expose the absurdities of human nature and society.The second part takes Gulliver to Brobdingnag, a land of giants where he becomes the tiny one. In this nation, Swift presents a contrasting perspective, highlighting the flaws and vices of humanity when viewed from a different scale. Gulliver's encounters with the inhabitants of Brobdingnag challenge his own understanding of himself and his world.The third part sees Gulliver arrive at the flying island of Laputa, a realm inhabited by intellectuals and scientists. Here, Swift directs his satire towards the pursuit of knowledge and the dangers of detached intellectualism. Laputa's inhabitants, with their absent-mindedness and impractical inventions, are a critique of those who prioritize theory over practicality.In the final part, Gulliver lands in the land of Houyhnhnms, an equine race of intelligent creatures who rule over the Yahoos – savage human-like beings.
