1、英语的读后感英语的读后感(一)格列佛游记读后感One of the mostinterestingquestionsaboutGullivers Travels is whethertheHouyhnhnmsrepresentan idealof rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun atthe talkinghorsesor doeshe intendfor us to take t
2、hem 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 doesnot 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 soundsmuch li
3、ke gullible, which suggeststhat he will believe anything.Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrementon him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says,"Imustneedsdiscoversomemorerational being," even though as a human he is already the most ration
4、albeing there is. This is why Swiftrefers to Erasmus7Darwins 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, soare the Houyhnhnms,whosevoicessoundlikethe call of castrati
5、. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much likepeople.As Gulliversays,"Itwas withthe utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playingthe flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than
6、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, andthat he can singlehande
7、dly 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 middleof the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well.
8、 One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapplegrey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre hasbroughtwithhim to the island.Firstshe actsflirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. But when this does not have the desiredeffect,she getsanotheridea: "AsI watched in amazement fr
9、om 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 upa sacrifice.Myhorsesniffedthecreatureand turned away."It mightseem that
10、 we shouldtake this scene seriouslyasafailedattemptatcourtship,andthat 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, whichwouldnothavehappened in eighteenth-century E
11、ngland. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pridethat makes him unableto impressGullivershorse. Gulliverimagines 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 a
12、re not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes intoa room in which a scientistis trying to turn wine into water(itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee)。The scientisthas been workingha
