This novel tells us Gulliver’s amazing adventures in some countries.The novel contains four parts.
Part I: A Voyage to Lilliput (小人国)
During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore (在岸上) after a shipwreck (船舶失事) and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches tall, who are inhabitants (居民) of the island country of Lilliput. Part II: A Voyage to Brobdingnag (大人国)
When the sailing ship Adventure is blown off course (航向) by storms and forced to sail for land in search of fresh water, Gulliver is abandoned (抛弃) by his companions (同伴) and found by a farmer who is 72 feet (22?m) tall. The farmer treats him as a curiosity and exhibits (展览) him for money. Part III: A Voyage to Laputa (飞岛国), Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan
After Gulliver’s ship was attacked by pirates (海盗), he is marooned (陷于孤立无援困境的) close to a desolate (荒凉的) 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. Gulliver is then taken to Balnibarbi to await (等待) a trader who can take him on to Japan. While waiting for a passage, Gulliver takes a short side-trip to the island of Glubbdubdrib, where he visits a magician’s (魔法师) dwelling (住处) and discusses history with the ghosts of historical figures, the most obvious restatement of the "ancients versus moderns" theme in the book. In Luggnagg he encounters the struldbrugs [斯特勒尔布勒格(虚构的永不死亡的人)],
unfortunates who are immortal (长生的). They do not have the gift of eternal (永恒的) youth, but suffer the infirmities (虚弱) of old age and are considered legally dead at the age of eighty. After reaching Japan, Gulliver asks the Emperor “to excuse my performing the ceremony imposed upon my countrymen of trampling upon the crucifix (请求天皇赦免执行践踏十字架的仪式：十字架踩踏仪式涉及17世纪的日本历史，从前日本人反对耶稣教，外国人去通商的不准登岸，除非在十字架上踩踏而过，表明自己不是基督教徒),” which the Emperor does. Gulliver returns home, determined to stay there for the rest of his days.Part IV: A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms (慧骃国/智马国)
Despite his earlier intention of remaining at home, Gulliver returns to the sea as the captain (船长) of a merchantman (商船). He is abandoned in a landing boat and comes upon a race of hideous (可怕的), deformed (丑陋的) and savage (野蛮的) humanoid (像人的) creatures. Shortly afterwards he meets a race of horses who call themselves Houyhnhnms (which in their language means "the perfection of nature"). Gulliver’s Travels
A Voyage to Lilliput1699年5月4日，格列佛应“羚羊号”船长的雇请，乘船到太平洋一带航海，因遇风暴，“羚羊号”触礁沉没了。他和五个水手跳入救生艇中逃生，可是半途救生艇也翻了。格列佛只身被风浪刮到利立浦特岛上。上岸后，他由于过度疲乏，躺在草地上酣睡了一觉。待他醒来时，他觉得全身都动弹不得，他的四肢、身体被紧紧捆缚住了，连他的头发也一根根地被缚牢在地上。 他被献给了国王。后来格列佛温顺的表现逐渐赢得了国王和人民对他的好感，他也渐渐熟悉了小人国的风俗习惯。在格列佛的帮助下，该小人国打败了另一个小人国，但是格列佛不愿灭掉该国，国王对此很不高兴。一次，皇宫失火。由于运水困难，格列佛撒了一泡尿浇灭了大火。这使皇后十分反感。加上海军大臣嫉妒他的功劳，于是国王召开了一次密谋会，准备除掉格列佛。格列佛得知后，慌忙逃到那个被打败的小人国。再从那儿找到了一只小船，便乘船离去。他在公海上遇到一只英国商船。他便搭乘这只商船，于是1702年回到伦敦。从而结束了他的第一次游历。 His ship crashed against the rocks.
