《格列佛游記》英語讀后感1
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 why swift 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.”
He has accomplished the scientists goal,but the scientist is not happy,for his livelihood has now been destroyed.Swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart,they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society,only for their own prideful agrandizement.
Throughout gullivers travels,the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong.Though their intent might have been good,they don't know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride.They mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves.The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who,having just been born, exclaims,“with this sort of entrance,what must I expect from the rest of my life!”
《格列佛游記》英語讀后感2
拜倫曾說過，“百日莫空過，青春不再來”。人生最美好的時光莫過于擁有青春的時刻，生如夏花的我們應讓青春插上夢想的羽翼，讓青春閃爍奮斗的光亮。每個人都有屬于自己的理想，每個年輕人都應有屬于自己的青春主張。20X年x月x日至x日的短短x天的暑期實踐活動，從開始籌備到實踐
在實踐中，我親眼目睹了弱勢群體的辛酸與無奈，我親耳聆聽了來自社會各個階層的公民的心聲，同時我也感受到了團結協作的默契和同學之間真摯的友情。
一、準備
此次暑期實踐活動的申報工作要求在x月x日前完成，而此時間也正是準備期末復習的階段，即使如此，我小隊隊員們仍抽出時間，分工合作，認真完成了實踐前以下的準備：
1、明確任務，分工合作，完成實踐前期準備理論材料的工作及實踐活動策劃工作。
2、主動與實踐地X鎮司法所取得聯系，并得到其接受的傳真。
3、制作了兩份針對留守兒童和普通公民的調查表，完成了自制的《普法宣傳小手冊》制作。
4、與X大學青年志愿者協會取得聯系，爭取到贈送給留守兒童的物資。
在準備階段，雖然大家的學習負擔很繁重，但是大家沒有一句抱怨，相反，大家還經常聚在一起針對實踐活動的準備工作進行積極探討，將任何事都追求做到盡善盡美。在準備
二、實踐
朱熹曾說過“行之愈篤，則知之益明”。的確如此，只有通過深入的實踐我們才能將我們“關愛留守兒童，普及法律知識”的實踐主題理解的更加透徹。為此，我們展開了以下實踐活動。
1、x月x日抵達當天，我們對X鎮司法所，當地醫院，教育中心，民政局等進行了走訪，從他們那里得到了關于留守兒童初步的生活學習狀況，根據調查我了解到，當地的相關部門采取了多種措施關愛留守兒童，如將留守兒童進行登記注冊，給其設立健康卡定期檢查身體，學校為孩子們開通
據該局
2、x月x日——x日，我們真正的實現了“下鄉”，開始走訪留守兒童的家庭，與他們進行面對面的'交流。通過走訪我們了解到了孩子們生活的艱苦，通過交流，我感受到了孩子們內心的孤獨。面對他們我們實踐的意義或許會顯得蒼白，除了贈送我們的一點愛心，那一刻，我們也倍感無奈，除了希望，我們似乎什么也給不了，在此，我懂得了現實的殘酷。
3、x月x——x日，我們進行了面向當地居民的知法情況調查活動。我們分成兩個小組，走街串巷面向不同社會階層的人進行調查，他們都很配合我們的工作，積極的提出一些有價值的意見，紛紛發表自己對法的看法。同時，我們向他們發放了自制的《法律宣傳手冊》。從調查的反應來看，實際上大多數公民還是十分關注法律的，只是他們沒有合適的渠道去了解法律知識，他們總體上對我國現行法律滿懷信心，但同時一些非法現象也會影響著他們的觀念。我從中可以看出，真正實現發的公平公正，真正實現法律面前人人平等是人們的共同心聲。
4、x月x日，我們舉辦了一次以“青少年與法”為專題的宣講會。當地的居民們認真聆聽，并和我們互動，氣氛很活躍。他們對武漢大學給予極高
5、x月x日，我們將剩下的物資捐贈給了當地教育中心，希望通過他們把我們的愛心傳遞給孩子們。緊張的忙碌后，我們沿著盤山公路，踏上了返校的路途。
三、
盤山公路的顛簸，沉重的行囊，漫長的候車時間以使每一位隊員疲憊不堪?；氐綄W校，隊員們經過一天的休整又重新投入到時間后期的
為期x天的暑期實踐就這樣結束了，難忘那段在X縣X鎮的日子，是這些日子讓我接觸了真實的社會，發現了法學對社會重要意義；難忘與隊員們共同奮戰的日子，是這些日子，讓我學會了尊重，包容，讓我體會到了團結的樂趣，讓我獲得了真摯的友誼。最后，我要對我親愛的隊友們說一句：謝謝你們！
