Gulliver's travel notes


Gulliver's travel notes

Gulliver's Travels is a great satirical novel in the history of American literature. It is said that Voltaire, Byron, Gorky and Lu Xun also highly praise Swift's works. I deeply admired Lu Xun. He used the yellow but thin fingers to point the direction of the youth, so I went in that direction and looked at Gulliver's Travels - Love House and Wu. However, after reading it, it is not helpful to shout "Dangdang". The only comfort is to ask others how to look at Swift to show that they are "literary youths". What is more practical is to write a non-negative post-reading feeling. Go up and make up the number.

Whenever I look back at this famous book, the vicissitudes of history have come to my mind. Those days have no sense of accomplishment and have failed. Just a dozen pages a day, to raise the "eyes" difficult, cold and not to take the sentence "the past is unbearable to look back", from the lungs!

For example, reading "The Besieged City" is a kind of enjoyment of pleasure. It is like playing a devil with a territorial warfare. It is more and more enjoyable. It is at the juncture. Mr. Qian Zhongshu will put a big deal and the devil will surrender; read "Camel Xiangzi" is also quite cool. It should belong to the three major battles. The Communists rushed to Chiang Kai-shek in the third, fifth, and second places. I also killed the old gold in three places and five places; but read Gulliver. "Travel Notes" is very different, it is a kind of sin, just like the bloody battle of Taizhuang, the tug-of-war, especially hard and arduous, not only to fight with Sweet, but also to fight against the sleepy insects, but "do not break Loulan will not return" I still achieved the "Grelevish Great Victory", but the loss was heavy, and I still think about it.

Therefore, after seeing Lu Xun holding a pipe with a sigh of anger, he always sang in his mouth: "It’s all your fault, you lied to me, and let me unconsciously satisfy the vanity of being cheated." „„

However, despite being deceived and not affecting Lu Xun’s position in my heart, I still stubbornly believe that Swift cannot be the same as Lu Xun.

Lu Xun, China's great proletarian writer, thinker, revolutionary; Swift is also a member of the bourgeoisie of the eighteenth century. Their class attributes are fundamentally different. Second, Lu Xun is made in China, and Swift is a foreign commodity. As for the third point, I think it is the most important. Although Lu Xun’s article is sturdy, but I am vaguely identifiable, although Swift’s translation is a vernacular, I just don’t know what to say and what to say.

After some empathy, I made the following assumptions: The lovely young people of Great Britain will not know what Lu Xun is saying, what to express, and the "probably - that is simply certain" kind of contradiction of Lu Xun's characteristics. Sentence pattern.

They are just like me.

The reason is that they are in different countries and inherit different cultures. For the past, for history, they know themselves from an early age, and others rarely touch them. It is not surprising that there is no certain knowledge to read the works of this kind of mulberry in a specific environment in a specific period of time.

I don't know the relationship between the two sides of the United States in the eighteenth century, the fascinating and embarrassing relationship between the two parties. Of course, there is no way to understand the "principle" problem of Swift's pen and the top of the heel. The beauty of the "high-heeled party" and "low-heeled party."

I am wrong with Swift, I want to have a tolerant heart. Later, Swift gradually became understandable, giving me the feeling that he is very just.

He sarcastically expressed the characteristics of Britain at the time: "greed, party struggle, hypocrisy, unbelief, brutality, anger, madness, resentment, jealousy, lust, insidiousness, and ambition." He sarcastically described the grotesque phenomenon of human beings: The horse became the carrier of reason, and the human being turned into the inferior animal wild Hu who was dirty, squatting, and greedy. He talks about human nature, is willing to be enslaved by money, not extravagant waste or greed. After reading "Gulliver's Travels", we can't help but look at ourselves. We have these shadows of stubbornness and bad roots.

There is a saying that I think the commentary is very classic: to exaggerate the anger of the era, to rid the ills of the times by absurdity; behind hate and pessimism, it should be a bitter feeling of sorrow.

I did not expect that there is such a profound connotation in the vernacular travels that are as simple as running accounts.

I know that Gulliver's Travels still needs to be read again, or more. This should be the future.

Gulliver's travel notes

One,

Gulliver has encountered several disasters in total. What makes him have an adventure?

A: A total of four times.

For the first time, arrive at Lilipot

Surgeon Gulliver was in distress with the voyage, escaped from the dead, floated to Lilipot, and was tied to the king by the villain. The performance of Gulliver's meekness gradually won the favor of the king and the people, and he gradually became familiar with the customs and habits of the small country. With the help of Gulliver, Lilipu defeated the "Breifsku" empire, which is also a small country, but Gulliver did not want to destroy the ancient empire of the Beavers, making the emperor very unhappy. . At this time, the Queen's palace was in a fire, Gulliver was in a hurry, and sprinkled a bubble of urine to extinguish the fire. Who knows that the Queen was greatly annoyed. Therefore, the villain and the monarch are ready to get rid of Gulliver. Gulliver heard the wind and quickly escaped from Lilipot. Later he came to the ancient empire of Buflav and finally returned to England safely.

The second time, arrived at Brobudinger

Gulliver was a giant in the minds of Lilipu, but as soon as he went to Brobdinig, he was as small as a mole in the field. When Gulliver went to the sea again, he was hit by a storm and was scraped into a strange land. The residents there were like towers. He was brought back as a plaything by a farmer in the Great Man. In order to make money, the farmer put Gulliver into the suitcase as a small play, and brought it to the towns to perform exhibitions, let him play tricks for people to watch. Later, he was bought by the Queen and was able to help the King. The king summoned him. He made a generous statement, boasting the greatness of his motherland, the wiseness of politics, and the justice of the law. However, he was attacked and refuted by the king.

In the third year of the country, Gulliver accompanied the king to visit the frontier. Because of his homesickness, he pretended to be sick and came to the beach to breathe fresh air. The eagle in the sky mistaken the box he lived as a turtle. Several hawks competed in the air, the box fell into the sea, and was discovered by a passing ship. After Gulliver was rescued, he returned to England by boat.

The third time, arrived in Leipzi, Barnibabi, Lagneig, Geller, Japan

After staying at home for a while, Gulliver went to the sea with the "Good Hope." This time, Gulliver’s boat was hijacked by a thief boat. Gulliver escaped and was rescued by a flying island called “Lepita.” These people’s appearances were unusual, their clothes were weird, and they meditated all day long. The king and the nobles lived on the island, and the people lived on three islands, such as Barnibabi. After leaving the island, Gulliver came to Barnibabi to visit and visited the "Lagdo Academy" on the island. This academy studied all the absurd subjects, which resulted in the desolateness of the country, the collapse of houses, and the people without food and clothing.

Then, Gulliver came to the Witcher Island. The Governor of the island mastered the magic and could summon any ghosts at random. Gulliver therefore met many celebrities in ancient times and found that many records in the history books were not in line with historical facts, even non-inverted. Gulliver also visited the Kingdom of Lagnegue and saw a long-lived old man, "Strubrug". After leaving the country, Gulliver came to Japan, then took a boat to the Netherlands and returned to the UK. .

The fourth time, arrived at Huiyi

Gulliver was exiled to the "Hui Hui Country." Here the horse is a rational resident and ruler of the country. And "" is the animal that the horse has raised and served. Gulliver’s behavior in the eyes of Ma Min, who is a "Hui Yi Guo", is a rational "Li Hu". Under the influence of various virtues of "Hui Yiguo", Gulliver wanted to stay in the "Hui Hui" country. However, the resolution of the "Hyeon" country was to eliminate Lehu there. Therefore, Gulliver's wish could not be realized. In desperation, Gulliver had to leave the country by boat to go home. With a yearning for "Hui Yiguo", Gulliver has always been a friend of the horse. He has rejected the secularism and is determined not to collude with others. Comparing Hummer with Li Hu highlights the value of reason, greed, unbelief, and ugliness of reason, kindness, and friendship.

Second, the author introduces

Jonathan Swift, a British satirist, politician, writer, and poet, has a history of satirical works, representing the "Gulliver's Travels" and "The Story of a Barrel". He is a pastor, a political writer, and a talented person.

3. Why should the author defamiliarize familiar things?

The author uses an insincere writing technique. Because it is unwise to directly expose the dark side of British society at the time, the writer blurs the reality scene and deeply dissects the British at that time with absurd and ridiculous words.

Social reality and ironic criticism of the British political situation at the time. The work fuses reality and fantasy with a furnace, compares the two, and uses the contrast between the real and the real to perfect the artistic effect of satire, which has a strong appeal.

4. Find a few ironic chapters to understand what rhetorical methods the author used to satirize those lines of thought and characters.

P.21 - Court Games

Select the officials and get the position by dancing on the ropes. Those who are waiting for important positions or who want to get the favor of the court perform dances, jump high and get jobs without falling, but often fatal accidents occur. The main irony is the decay and incompetence of the British courts and ministers.

Jumping up and down on a special festival performance stick, the top three were awarded blue and green ribbons. The main irony is the British medals and ribbons. The big men in the imperial court almost all decorated with this kind of ribbon, indicating that the winners of the high officials are all flattering.

P.30 - Conversation between Gulliver and Reese

Gulliver’s conversation with his friend, Reese, made him understand the two major crises in Lilipot’s existence. Crisis 1: Low-heeled party and high-heeled party

The emperor prefers the low-heeled party. His heel is the lowest, and his rights are in the hands of the low-heeled party. However, the high-heeled party has a large number of people. The prince is inclined to high-heeled parties, and his heels are high and low. The main irony is that the British Whigs and Tories are fighting for power. Crisis 2: The neighboring country is not a sight

The reason for the outbreak of the war: Liliputes used to eat eggs and knocked on the big end. The emperor’s grandfather had hurt his fingers when he was eating eggs at an early age, so his father announced that he could only knock on the little end. The common people have rebelled many times, and these rebellions have been supported by the incitement of the husband. The dispute between the big and the small is a religious dispute.

The war between Lilipot and Buevus:

Gulliver used 50 hooks and 50 cables to drag the 50 largest ships of Bryvus to Lilipot. The king hoped that Gulliver would drag all the remaining ships back and turn the Beavers. For his own province, the big endian was wiped out and he became a unique emperor. Gulliver refused.

Gulliver peeed from the fire of the Queen's palace, causing the Queen's resentment, so he secretly sentenced Gulliver to treason and decided to stab his eyes and starve to death. The main irony is the greed, ambitiousness, cruelty and ruthlessness of the ruling class. P.40 - The situation of Lilippo residents, etc.

The crime of fraud should be punishable by death, the goddess of justice - reflecting the good conduct of the Lilitian people

P.43 - The author's shortcomings

Due to the limitation of the times, the author has a serious feudal hierarchy thought, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the school divides men and women and divides the nobility and civilians, while the children of the villagers and laborers cannot receive education.

P.107~112 - The second section uses irony to satirize the British Parliament

Using the mouth of the king to criticize the British election of an opaque parliamentary system and unfair courts, judges and lawyers, over-expenditure of time management, large forces and costly large-scale wars, called the most detrimental of the most abominable pests, It is ironic and criticizing the corruption of the British ruling class and the irrationality of the political and social system. Gulliver recommended the gunpowder to the king. The king was shocked and resolutely rejected. Gulliver believed that the chance of the king giving up was due to "difficult dogma and short-sighted eyes." This is the bloody and brutal use of breeding and profound criticism of British overseas colonial aggression.

Gulliver's travel notes

Swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels, was born in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. His father was an Englishman who settled in Ireland. He is a posthumous son, raised by an uncle. His masterpiece Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726 and was regarded as a children's literature. In fact, it was a satirical novel that criticized the fall and corruption of British society at that time. In this book, it is written by the protagonist, a surgeon Gulliver's adventure story, some of which are shocking. In the country of the villain, he became a giant, invulnerable, and swallowed dozens of oxen still filling his stomach; in the giant country, he became a doll of the giants, being played between the palms, and with flies and bees After the struggle, he came to the mysterious Flying Island State, where the people used the natural magnets of the lower part of the bird and the magnets under the sea to move as they wish. This is also a dialogue that can be called at any time to make a ghost conversation. The bizarre country of the study; there is also a deeply sultry Huiyi country, in this world of people and horses, there are many incredible stories. Reading and reading, I seem to walk into the fantasy world with Gulliver. I am deeply impressed by the doll-like villains, the tall and mighty giants, the residents of the flying islands who look like fish, and the Hui and Yehu. I think the most special thing is the residents of the island nation. Their eyes are on one side, and they are a nation that loves musical instruments. They also have their own favorite instruments on their clothes. The attendants there must always beat the heads of the ministers, otherwise they always love whimsy. „„ After reading this book, I admire Gulliver’s wisdom, courage and adventurous spirit. He is a different man, and he can’t suppress the impulse of inner adventure when he sees the sea. As a doctor, he took the boat to travel around the country, thinking that the crew was visiting the country, going around the world and taking risks everywhere.

After reading this book, I gradually felt that these books were actually very interesting, and I wouldn't be invisible. Instead, after reading it a few times, I fell in love with these books. Books are the ladder of progress for people. Traveling in the world of books is the dream of everyone. Open the book in your hand and plunge into it. One day you will find the fun.

Wonderful language

1. The surrounding fields are like inexhaustible gardens. The fields that are circled are usually forty feet square, like many flower beds. The fields are interspersed with woods, and the woods cover about one-eighth of an acre. According to my estimation, the tallest tree is about seven feet high. I look at the city on the left, which looks like the setting of the city wall painted in the theater.

2. There are many Yehu in the yard of the horse for its service. These animals "faces are flat and wide, with noses, thick lips, and a big mouth", which looks ugly. The horse compared the shape of Gulliver and Yehu and called him Yehu. Gulliver is very ashamed. Gulliver talked to the owner of the horse. In the United Kingdom, the horse was used by people to ride and pull the car. The horses were very angry. 1. The surrounding fields are like incomplete gardens, and the fields that are circled are generally Forty feet square, like a lot of flower beds. The fields are interspersed with woods, and the woods cover about one-eighth of an acre. According to my estimation, the tallest tree is about seven feet high. I look at the city on the left, which looks like the setting of the city wall painted in the theater.

3. The first person I saw described it as a dry, hands and face were black like smoke, hair and beard were long, ragged, and several were burned. His coat, shirt and skin are all in one color. For eight years, he has been immersed in the design of the sun from the cucumber, sealed in a small glass bottle, in the rainy and cold summer, it can be released to make the air warm. He told me that in the next eight years he could undoubtedly supply the chief's garden with sufficient sunshine at a reasonable price; but he complained that the raw materials were insufficient and asked me to donate something to encourage the invention, especially because of the cucumber in this season. The price is especially expensive. I sent a gift, but my aristocratic friend specially prepared enough money for me because he knew they were used to visiting.

People want money. I walked into another room, but I was about to quit, and I was almost smothered by a terrible stench. My guide urged me to walk in and quietly told me: Don't offend them, they will hate you. So I was scared that I couldn’t even block my nose. The designer in this room is the oldest scholar in the college. His face and chin are pale yellow; his hands and clothes are covered with filth. When I was introduced to him, he hugged me tightly. How I wanted to find an excuse to decline his kindness. Since he went to work at the Academy of Sciences, he has studied how to restore human feces to food. He divided the stool into several parts, removed the color from the bile, evaporated the odor, and removed the floating saliva. Every week people give him a bucket of manure, which is about the size of a Blissian barrel. There is also one of the most ingenious architects who invented a new way of building a house, starting with the roof and building it from top to bottom. His basis is that his approach is the same as the two most savvy insects, bees and spiders. In another room, I was very happy to see a designer come up with a way to use pigs to cultivate the land. This method does not require tillage, livestock, and manpower. In an acre of land, every six inches, eight inches deep, a lot of oak, dates, chestnuts, and other scorpions and vegetables that the animal loves; Then rush six hundred or more pigs to the field. A few days later, in order to find food, they will dig all the soil, not only suitable for the next species, but also the fertilizer that has been filled with the earth. Although they have been experimented, they find that the cost is too high, it is too laborious, and there is almost no harvest, but everyone thinks that this invention is undoubtedly a possibility of improvement.

4. The people on the island are always uneasy because they have a lot of research on astronomy. Fear that the sun will approach the earth every day, the earth will be swallowed by the sun. When they meet an acquaintance in the morning, they first greet the health of the sun. This flying island is only about 10,000 acres. The bottom layer is made up of diamond layers, which can be lifted and lowered by a magnet. The king and his nobles live on the island, and there are also craftsmen, women and children.

5. Once I understand the difference between life and death and find that I am happy, first, I will make up my mind to use all means to get rich; in this process, rely on diligence and painstaking efforts, about two hundred years. After that, I am very likely to be the richest person in the whole kingdom. Second, I have always liked art and scientific research since I was a child, so that in the end I will be more than anyone else in learning. Finally, I have to carefully record every important event and event of the public, and justly depict the character of the kings and ministers of the past according to their own observations.
