了解《格列佛游记》
Gulliver's Travels 简介
《格列佛游记》是英国作家乔纳森·斯威夫特的一部杰出的游记体讽刺小说,以主角格列佛的角度描述在四个国度历险的奇遇:小人国、大人国、飞岛国和慧駰国。
格列佛遇海难,来到小人国。这里居民身高仅六英寸,君臣贪婪、国家战祸连绵。作者以居高临下的角度,用巨人的眼光俯视人类的荒唐渺小。格列佛好奇心起,误闯大人国。这里居民身高如尖塔,武器精良、国威赫赫。作者以小矮人的角度,仰视人类的粗俗和铁石心肠。
格列佛逢海盗,造访飞岛国。这里属地被笼罩控制,城市和乡间颓败、荒芜。作者以平常的心态,平视人类的疯狂和邪恶本性。
格列佛被叛变,遍历慧駰国。这里统治者高度理性,人形动物邪恶、低劣。作者以理性动物的角度,审视人类的本质。
《格列佛游记》深刻反讽时政的腐败,以离奇、甚至令人作呕的情节,讽刺学究的愚蠢可笑,并且省思人性的不同面向。是冒险故事,是奇幻小说,是游记,是政论,是讽喻文学,它是值得览读的经典之作。
Sandy loves reading novels. She is reading a book called Gulliver's travels, by Jonathan swift (1667-1745). Here is an extract from the book.
After our ship crashed against the rocks, I swam as far as I could. By the time I finally felt the land under my feet, I was tired out. I fell down on the beach and went to sleep.
I woke up as the sun was rising, but I found I could not move. My arms, legs and hair were tied to the ground!
Then I felt something on my leg. It moved up over my stomach and neck until it was standing near my face. I looked down and saw a very small man. He was the same size as my little finger! Where was I Who was this tiny person
Soon more small men started climbing all over me. There were around 40 of them. I shouted at them — the loud noise made them all fall over. However, they soon got up again and continued moving across my body.
One of these small men began talking to me, but I could not understand him. I did not know what to say either. I tried to pull one hand free and finally managed to break the ropes. When I lifted my left hand into the air, the small men began to shout.
I looked down and saw a huge army of tiny people. They were coming straight towards me. “I must run away from them,”
I thought, but I did not know how to get away.
