格列佛游记 书评(英文版)
This paper attempts to comment on Jonathan Swift how to use Gulliver’s voyage to satire the darkness of the social at that time.
Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels is usually considered as a classic of satire, and the author himself a most skillful satirist.
In appearance, this book is the personal effort of Lemuel Gulliver who has recorded his four voyages to some remote countries as a contribution to human knowledge. Since the prominent intention of the book is satire.
In the first story, Gulliver went to Lilliput Where the tallest people were six inches high. The emperor is taller than any of his court, and he believed himself to be the delight and terror of the universe, but it appeared quite absure to Gulliver who was twelve times as tall as he.
自己去下吧
11月里，我读了英国作家乔纳森;斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》，小说以辛辣的讽刺与幽默、离奇的想象与夸张，描述了酷爱航海冒险的格列佛，四度周游世界，经历了大大小小惊险而有趣的奇遇。
游记中小人国、大人国里光怪离奇的故事深深地吸引了我，然而给我印象最深的是，1710年格列佛泛舟北美，巧访了荒岛上的慧因国，结识了具有仁慈、诚实和友谊美德的慧因。在慧因国的语言中没有“撒谎”和“欺骗”这样的字眼，人们更不理解它的含义。他们不懂什么叫“怀疑”、什么是“不信任”，在他们的国度里一切都是真实的、透明的。
格列佛在慧因国里度过了一段美好的时光，他完全融入这个社会，以致于与暗喻人类的耶胡交往时形成强烈的反差，因为他们总是以怀疑的眼光看待他的诚实，使他感到失落，对人类产生了极度的厌恶。 我很羡慕文中的主人公有幸能到慧因国，慧因国是我们所追求和向往的理想境地，在这里你不需顾虑别人说话的真假，而在现实的世界，有着太多我们不愿看到的事情常常发生：有人用花言巧语骗取别人的血汗钱、有人拐卖儿童谋取暴利、有人甚至为了金钱抛弃自己的亲身父母。难怪我们的老师、长辈从小就教育我们要提高警惕，不要上当受骗。这与我们提倡的帮助他人、爱护他人是很难统一的。当我遇到有困难的人，要伸出援助之手时，我迟疑；当有人替我解围时，我不敢接受。这些都让我内心感到痛苦、矛盾，无所适从。既妨碍了我去“爱”别人，同时也错过了别人的“爱”，在难道不是一种悲哀吗？
我不知道十八世纪美国的辉格、托利两党缠绵悱恻、暧昧的关系，当然也就无从体会斯威夫特笔下的争论吃鸡蛋应先敲哪头、 鞋跟之高低等"原则"问题的"高跟党"与"低跟党"的妙处。
我错怪斯威夫特了，我要有一颗宽容的心。而后来的斯威夫特也渐渐变得可以理解了，给我的感觉是他很正义。
他讽刺地道出了当时英国的特点："贪婪、党争、伪善、无信、残暴、愤怒、疯狂、怨恨、嫉妒、淫欲、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、屎尿横飞、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。看完《格列佛游记》之后，我们不能不审视自己，我们身上有没有这些顽疾劣根的影子。
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大白话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。
这是书评：
Context
Jonathan Swift, son of the English lawyer Jonathan Swift the elder, was born in Dublin, Ireland, on November 30, 1667. He grew up there in the care of his uncle before attending Trinity College at the age of fourteen, where he stayed for seven years, graduating in 1688. In that year, he became the secretary of Sir William Temple, an English politician and member of the Whig party. In 1694, he took religious orders in the Church of Ireland and then spent a year as a country parson. He then spent further time in the service of Temple before returning to Ireland to become the chaplain of the earl of Berkeley. Meanwhile, he had begun to write satires on the political and religious corruption surrounding him, working on A Tale of a Tub, which supports the position of the Anglican Church against its critics on the left and the right, and The Battle of the Books, which argues for the supremacy of the classics against modern thought and literature. He also wrote a number of political pamphlets in favor of the Whig party. In 1709 he went to London to campaign for the Irish church but was unsuccessful. After some conflicts with the Whig party, mostly because of Swift’s strong allegiance to the church, he became a member of the more conservative Tory party in 1710.
Unfortunately for Swift, the Tory government fell out of power in 1714 and Swift, despite his fame for his writings, fell out of favor. Swift, who had been hoping to be assigned a position in the Church of England, instead returned to Dublin, where he became the dean of St. Patrick’s. During his brief time in England, Swift had become friends with writers such as Alexander Pope, and during a meeting of their literary club, the Martinus Scriblerus Club, they decided to write satires of modern learning. The third voyage of Gulliver’s Travels is assembled from the work Swift did during this time. However, the final work was not completed until 1726, and the narrative of the third voyage was actually the last one completed. After his return to Ireland, Swift became a staunch supporter of the Irish against English attempts to weaken their economy and political power, writing pamphlets such as the satirical A Modest Proposal, in which he suggests that the Irish problems of famine and overpopulation could be easily solved by having the babies of poor Irish subjects sold as delicacies to feed the rich.
Gulliver’s Travels was a controversial work when it was first published in 1726. In fact, it was not until almost ten years after its first printing that the book appeared with the entire text that Swift had originally intended it to have. Ever since, editors have excised many of the passages, particularly the more caustic ones dealing with bodily functions. Even without those passages, however, Gulliver’s Travels serves as a biting satire, and Swift ensures that it is both humorous and critical, constantly attacking British and European society through its descriptions of imaginary countries.
Late in life, Swift seemed to many observers to become even more caustic and bitter than he had been. Three years before his death, he was declared unable to care for himself, and guardians were appointed. Based on these facts and on a comparison between Swift’s fate and that of his character Gulliver, some people have concluded that he gradually became insane and that his insanity was a natural outgrowth of his indignation and outrage against humankind. However, the truth seems to be that Swift was suddenly incapacitated by a paralytic stroke late in life, and that prior to this incident his mental capacities were unimpaired.
Gulliver’s Travels is about a specific set of political conflicts, but if it were nothing more than that it would long ago have been forgotten. The staying power of the work comes from its depiction of the human condition and its often despairing, but occasionally hopeful, sketch of the possibilities for humanity to rein in its baser instincts.
