Third, a selection of good words and sentences in Gulliver's Travels:
1. The king asked Gulliver about European customs, religions, laws, governments and academics. Gulliver told him about the great events that happened in England in the last hundred years. But after listening, he said, "These major events are just a lot of conspiracies, rebellions, assassinations, massacres, revolutions and exile" and accused that "most of your compatriots belong to the most harmful category of disgusting little poisonous insects crawling on the ground in nature."
The king should govern the country with reason and kindness. His evaluation of people is: "whoever can make two ears of grain and two leaves of grass grow on the land that originally produced only one ear of grain and one leaf of grass will make greater contribution to mankind and the country than all politicians."
Gulliver believes that "this monarch has all kinds of qualities that are respected, loved and admired: he is outstanding in talent, infinite in wisdom, knowledgeable, well-governed and deeply supported by the people."
The scientists here are doing all kinds of funny research with great interest: some are burying their heads in designing how to extract sunlight from cucumbers; Some want to reduce feces into food; Farmland with pigs; Others want to use spiders to weave webs, use bellows to treat diseases and so on. In school education, people here intend to cancel vocabulary, thinking it is good for health.
A professor is writing a book about how to detect anti-government conspiracy. So Gulliver introduced Langdon's practice in this respect to him. Gulliver said: "Almost all the residents there are detectives, witnesses, informers, appellants, prosecutors, witnesses, sworn plaintiffs and their minions ... Most people who conspire in this kingdom are trying to improve their statesmanship, revitalize a weak government, suppress or alleviate people's dissatisfaction, steal confiscated property to enrich themselves and influence public opinion to make it conform to personal interests."
6. He also compared the Roman parliament with the modern parliament and thought: "The Roman parliament seems to be a collection of heroes and demigods, while the modern parliament is like a group of vendors, pickpockets, robbers and thugs."
7. Gulliver said: "Sometimes it is because the monarch is ambitious and always thinks that the ground of rule is not big enough and the population is not enough; Sometimes, because ministers are corrupt, they instigate their masters to go to war to suppress or divert people's dissatisfaction with domestic administrative affairs. "
Gulliver also talked about the use of law and money. He said that Yahoos in Europe think: "No matter whether they use money or save money, the more money, the better, and there is not enough time, because they are born like this, either profligate or greedy." The rich enjoy the fruits of the poor, and the ratio of the poor to the rich is one thousand. "
Gulliver felt that "these outstanding quadrupeds have many virtues." Compared with human corruption, I have opened my eyes and broadened my horizons. "
10, he recorded these personal experiences. "The only purpose is for the benefit of the public, so I can't be disappointed anyway."
A selection of excellent passages in Gulliver's Travels;
1, Volume 1 Chapter 1 I'm going to get up, but I can't move. I was lying down, only to find that my arms and legs were tightly tied to the ground; My hair is long and thick, and it sticks to the ground. I think there are several ropes tied horizontally from armpit to thigh. I can only look up, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun hurts my eyes. I heard a lot of noise around, but I just lay there and saw nothing but the sky. After a while, I only felt a living creature crawling on my left leg. It went through my chest and slowly moved forward, almost reaching my chin. I tried to look down with my eyes. It turned out to be a living person less than six inches long, with a bow and arrow in his hand and an quiver on his back. At the same time, I think at least forty identical people (I guess) are following him. I shouted in surprise, scaring them to run back. Appreciation: At the beginning of the novel, it sets the tone of the book with its unique conception. Gulliver was blown to a desert island by a storm, and when he woke up, he found himself tied up by more than a hundred thugs. This passage vividly describes the words and deeds of young people who entered Gulliver's field of vision for the first time, especially their behavior of constantly shooting Gulliver with arrows, which laid the groundwork for the future plot development. The opening writing is concise and clear. The writer once said: "I would rather tell ordinary facts in the simplest and simplest style, because I wrote this book mainly for you, not for entertainment." Although Gulliver's roaming scenes and experiences in different countries are different, the layout and style of the whole novel are consistent. Gulliver described the cause and effect of each voyage in detail, and the complicated plot was described in the order of time and space. The text is concise and vivid, with strong story, which appeals to both refined and popular tastes. At this time, I found that my arms and legs were firmly tied to the ground, and my long and thick hair was tied up. I feel that what binds me is a thin belt. After a while, I felt something crawling on my left leg, moving forward gently, over my chest and almost reaching my chin. I tried my best to look down and found a man less than six inches tall, holding a bow and arrow and carrying an quiver! At the same time, the emperor held several meetings to discuss the measures taken against me. I have a high-ranking friend who participated in this confidential incident. Later, they confirmed to me that because the imperial court faced various difficulties, they were afraid that I would break free and escape, and my food expenses were too expensive, which might lead to famine. They once decided to starve me to death or shoot me in the face and hands with poisonous arrows, so that I could be executed soon. But they also consider that such a huge body, which smells bad, may cause plague in the capital and may spread throughout the kingdom. Brescu Empire is an island country located in the northeast of Lilliput, with only 800 yards of strait between the two countries. According to the scout's report, the enemy is moored in the port and will set sail as soon as there is a downwind. They also told us that the high water level in the center of the Strait is 70 "Gramgrove" deep (about 6 feet). I arrived at the enemy fleet in less than half an hour. When the enemy saw me, they were terrified out of their wits and jumped off the boat and swam to the shore, with about 30 thousand people. I took out my tools, fixed the hooks in a hole in the bow of each boat and tied the other ends of all the cables together. When I did this, the enemy fired thousands of arrows, many of which hit my hands and face, which not only caused me great pain, but also greatly interfered with my work. What worries us is that His Royal Highness, the heir to the throne, is a little inclined to follow the party. At least we can clearly see that one of his heels is higher than the other, so he limps. Gulliver had a wonderful time in the countryside of Yin Hui, and he was completely integrated into this society, so that there was a strong contrast when he interacted with Yehu, a metaphor for human beings, because they always looked at his honesty with suspicion, which made him feel lost and extremely disgusted with human beings. Appreciation: I envy the hero in the article for being lucky enough to go to the countryside of Yin Hui, which is the ideal place we pursue and yearn for. Here you don't have to worry about whether what others say is true or not, but in the real world, there are too many things we don't want to see: some people cheat others of their hard-earned money with sweet words, some people kidnap children for profiteering, and some even abandon their parents for money. No wonder our teachers and elders have taught us to be vigilant and not to be deceived since childhood. This is difficult to be unified with our advocacy of helping others and caring for others. When I met someone in trouble and wanted to lend a helping hand, I hesitated; I dare not accept that others help me out. All these make me feel painful, contradictory and at a loss. It not only prevented me from "loving" others, but also missed the "love" of others. Aren't you sad now? I look forward to the day when our society is like Yin Hui countries. There is no doubt in the eyes of children that education and reality are unified. I am willing to work hard for this, and I hope that everyone will start with me, and from now on, let this society be more sincere and less hypocritical.
