内容简介
第一卷
“利立浦特（小人国）”
1699年，外科医生格列佛随“羚羊号”出航南太平洋。不幸中途遇险，格列佛死里逃生，漂到利立浦特（小人国），被小人捆住。利立浦特人用专车把体积巨大的格列佛运到京城献给国王，他的出现几乎吸引了小人国所有的人。格列佛温顺的表现逐渐赢得了国王和人民对他的好感，他也渐渐熟悉了小人国的风俗习惯。当时，另一小人国不来夫斯古帝国准备从海上入侵利立浦特帝国，格列佛涉过海峡，把50艘最大的敌舰拖回利立浦特国的港口，立了大功。但是格列佛不愿灭掉不来夫斯古帝国，使皇帝很不高兴。这时，王后寝宫失火，格列佛情急生智，撒了一泡尿把火扑灭，谁知却让王后大为恼火。于是，小人国君臣沆瀣一气准备除掉格列佛。格列佛听到风声，赶快逃到不来夫斯古帝国，后来平安回到英国。
第二卷
“布罗卜丁奈格（大人国）”
格列佛回家不久，就随“冒险号”再次出海，不幸又遇上风暴，船被刮到布罗卜丁内格（大人国）。格列佛被一位高达20米的农民捉住。农民带格列佛到全国各大城市展览，最后来到首都。这个农民发财心切，每天要格列佛表演10场，把他累得奄奄一息。当这个农民眼看无利可图时，便把格列佛卖给了皇后。由于小巧伶俐，格列佛在宫廷中非常得宠，但是也常常遭到老鼠，小鸟等动物的侵袭。面对国王，格列佛沾沾自喜地介绍了英国各方面的情况及近百年来的历史，但被国王一一否定。
格列佛在该国的第三年，陪同国王巡视边疆。由于思乡心切，他假装生病，来到海边呼吸新鲜空气。天空中的鹰错把他住的箱子当成乌龟叼了起来。几只鹰在空中争夺，箱子掉进海里，被路过的一艘船发现，格列佛获救后，乘船回到英国。
第三卷
“勒皮他、巴尔尼巴比、拉格奈格、格勒大锥、日本游记”
在家待了一段时间，格列佛又随“好望号“出海。这一次，格列佛所乘的船遭海盗船劫持，格列佛侥幸逃脱，被一座叫“勒皮他”的飞岛救起。这些人的相貌异常，衣饰古怪，整天沉思默想。国王和贵族都住在飞岛上，老百姓则住在巴尔尼巴比等三座海岛上。格列佛离开飞岛后，来到巴尔尼巴比进行访问，并参观了岛上的“拉格多科学院”。这所科学院研究的都是些荒诞不经的课题，结果造成全国遍地荒凉，房屋坍塌，人民无衣无食。
接着，格列佛来到巫人岛。岛上的总督精通魔法，能随意召唤任何鬼魂，格列佛因此会见了古代的许多名人，结果发现史书上的记载很多不符合史实，甚至是非颠倒。而后，格列佛又游览了拉格耐格王国，见到一种长生不老人“斯特鲁布鲁格”。离开该国后，格列佛来到日本，然后乘船回到英国。
第四卷
“慧骃国游记”
格列佛回家后五个月，受聘为“冒险号”船长，再次乘船出海。途中水手叛变，把他囚禁了几个月，然后被放逐到“慧骃国”。在这里，格列佛遭到一种形状像人的名为“耶胡“的畜生的围攻。幸亏一匹具有智慧的马——“慧骃”来给他解了围。原来马是该国有理性的居民和统治者，而“耶胡”则是马所豢养和役使的畜生。格列佛的举止言谈在“慧骃”国的马民看来是一只有理性的“耶胡”，因此引起了他们的兴趣。格列佛很快学会了该国语言，应主人的邀请，他谈到在世界其他地方马是畜生，而像他那样的“耶胡”则具有理性，并且是马的主人。这使“慧骃”感到很震惊。
在“慧骃”各种美德的感化下，格列佛一心想留在“慧骃”国。然而“慧骃”国全国代表大会通过决议要消灭那里的耶胡。所以格列佛的愿望无法实现。无奈之下，格列佛只好乘小船离开该国打道回府。格列佛怀着对“慧骃国”的向往，一辈子与马为友。 [2]

人物介绍
格列佛
他是18世纪一个普通的英国人，同样他也是一个不寻常的鲁滨逊（18世纪英国作家笛福作品《鲁滨逊漂流记》中的主人公），是一个天生喜欢冒险，不甘寂寞与无聊的人。他是一个勤劳勇敢、机智善良的人。他记忆力很强（这一点让他在语言学习方面远远超过了鲁滨逊，在他的旅行中起到重要作用），善于学习和观察，善于思考，有独特的思维，性情朴实温和，对人态度友好，举止善良，容易与人交往，知恩图报，有君子之风，愿意帮助朋友，为了朋友他甘愿冒生命危险，也会随时准备抗击一切对朋友不利的人。同时他聪明机智，有胆识，处事圆滑合理，说话巧妙伶俐，做事坚决果断，能够见机行事，抓住一切机会追求自由，有着极强的自信心，相信自己能够成功。他为人坦率，爱国，也十分顾惜自己的面子，对敌视他，和无耻的人（比如“耶胡”）充满了仇恨、厌恶与鄙视，但敬重高尚的人、知识丰富的学者。总的来说他是一个具有质疑精神，酷爱真理，有忍耐力的勇者。他在游历之中，洞察到社会现实的日趋堕落，得出英国社会并不文明的结论。格列佛的形象，是作者思想的体现者。作者将自己的种种美德赋予笔下的人物，格列佛不计较个人的得失，而对别人关怀备至。格列佛是个正面的理想的人物。他总是坦率地叙述自己的弱点和错误，而对自己的优点则只字不提。他谦逊好学，努力用新眼光去认识新的现实。他从不自暴自弃，纵使将他当作玩物到各地供人观赏，仍泰然自若，保持自身的尊严，以平等的姿态与大人国的国王交谈。他勇于帮助小人国抵抗外族入侵，但断然拒绝为小人国国王的侵略扩张政策效劳。 [5]
佛林奈浦
即利立浦特王国的财政大臣，佛林奈浦是利立浦特国王的一个宠臣，对于国王一昧阿谀奉承，为了能够讨好国王，他会想方设法让其开心，甚至愿意做出威胁自己生命安全的行为来得到国王的欢心，反过来对人民却颐指气使，看不起平民，认为他们比自己低级。佛林奈浦有才能和本领，但却不将此运用到正途上来，没有为百姓做多少好事。他猜忌、阴险、狠毒、狡诈，心眼极其狭小，嫉妒心强，对于党派斗争十分熟悉，痛恨比自己有能耐的人，并且睚眦必报，喜欢暗地里给人打小报告，诬蔑他人，做事毒辣，狠的下心来，不计较后果，不惜一切代价寻找机会来进行打击报复，不给对手留下丝毫的余地。相关情节：格列佛的仁怀宽厚和俘获不来夫斯古国舰队的军功受到小人国国王的赏识，佛林奈浦就大为恼火，就联络其他大臣设谋陷害、大加污蔑，最后迫使格列佛逃往不来夫斯库。 [6]
斯开瑞士
小人国的海军大将，野心勃勃，且善妒，在格列佛受到小人国国王重用时。曾与财政大臣合谋谋害格列佛。 [6]
布累卜丁奈格国王
大人国国王，博学多识，性情善良。是一位博学、理智、仁慈、治国能力强的开明国君，他用理智、公理、仁慈来治理国家，他厌恶格列佛所说的卑劣的政客、流血的战争。 [6]
飞岛国的科学家
凶狠且愚蠢，一边从事着从黄瓜中提取阳光把粪便还原为食物这类虚无缥缈、毫无结果的科学研究，一边采取残暴的手段对付当地的居民，人民稍有叛逆，就驾飞岛阻隔阳光，甚至压在居民头上。 [6]
慧骃国国王
理智贤明、勤劳勇敢、仁慈友爱、公正诚信，是作者心目中的理想人物。 [6]

Gulliver’s ship crashed against the rocks. He tried his best to swim to the b 1 . By the time he f 2 the land under his feet, he was t 3 out. He fell down on the sand and went to sleep.
He woke up as the sun was r 4 , but he could not move. He was tied to the ground. Then something moved on his leg, up to his stomach and neck u 5 it was standing near his face. It was a tiny man, as tiny as his little finger. Soon more small men climbed up. Gulliver shouted at them. The loud n 6 made them all fall over. But they didn’t run away. I 7 , they got up again and continued moving across his body.
One of the small men began talking. H 8 , Gulliver couldn’t understand him. He didn’t know what to say e 9 . He tried to pull one hand free and f 10 managed to break the ropes.

At last I decided to run away. I went to the north of Lilliput, where our ships were. I took my c 11 off and put them into one of the warships (战舰). I also put a blanket into it. Then I stepped into the sea and swam to Blefuscu. When I arrived, the king of Blefuscu sent two guides to show me the way to the capital. That night, as the buildings there were too small for me, I slept on the ground, covered with my blanket. It was not a 12 comfortable as my bed in Lilliput, but I did not mind.
I didn’t spend long in Blefuscu. Only three days after my arrival, I noticed a boat in the sea, near the beach. It was a real boat, large e 13 for me. I swam out and tied (绑) r 14 to it. Then, with the help of twenty of Blefuscu’s ships and three thousand sailors, I pulled it on to the beach. It was not badly damaged (损坏的), and it was exciting to be able to start planning my j 15 back to England and my home.
The king asked his workmen to r 16 the boat and prepare everything I needed. About one month later, I left Blefuscu, on September 24th, 1701. On the third day, September 26th, an English ship picked me up. I told the captain my s 17 . In the beginning, he thought I was crazy, but w 18 I took the live animals out of my pocket to show him, he believed me. I arrived home at last and saw my family a 19 . I made a lot of money by showing my Lilliputian a 20 to people, and in the end, I sold them for a high price. But as the days passed, I became restless, and wanted to see more of the world. Only two months later, I said goodbye to my family and sailed away again.
(adapted from Gulliver’s Travels)

I was very happy to be with my family again. But I am a t 21 by nature and after only two months I looked for another job as a ship’s doctor.
I set off for Surat in India, on a ship called the Adventure. The first part of our j 22 went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean there were some t 23 storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course. Finally, when the storms s 24 , we saw an island. We had no more drinking water so I went to find some f 25 water. When I returned there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them.
I ran as fast as possible in the opposite direction. I then climbed a big hill and h 26 behind a tree. I looked around and saw some other giants c 27 grass in the fields. On my last journey I was a giant of tiny people and now I am a tiny person of giants! It was not a nice feeling. “W 28 did I leave the comfort of my home and family to travel again ” I asked myself.
S 29 , a giant bent down and picked me up and I felt like one of the tiny Lilliputians.
“Please don’t hurt me,” I called to the giant.
He answered in a strange l 30 and I didn’t understand. Then he lifted me to his face and looked at me with great interest. I thought he wanted to eat me but he put me into his hand and carried me home.

Gulliver managed to get away from the small men. He found a boat and t 31 to sail home. H 32 , there was a great storm at sea. The strong winds drove his boat to a strange island.
Everyone on the island was very 1 33 . They were all more than 20 meters tall. A farmer found Gulliver first and took him home to his daughter. Gulliver seemed very small to them, like a toy or a pet. The farmer’s daughter took Gulliver to town. Everyone in the town was s 34 to see such a small person.
The Queen heard about Gulliver and bought him from the farmer. She gave Gulliver to the King as a p 35 . The King enjoyed l 36 to Gulliver talk about his home country and his travels. All their objects, such as chairs, tables, forks and plates were too big for Gulliver to use, so they built a small house with small objects for him to live in. Wherever the King and Queen went, they carried Gulliver with them in his house.
One day they went to the beach. W 37 they were there, a large eagle picked up Gulliver’s h 38 , with Gulliver in it, and carried him high up into the air. But the house was too h 39 , so the eagle dropped it into the sea. Gulliver used his house as a boat u 40 a ship found him. The ship took him home.

Late one night, Gulliver received a warning that some nobles wanted him killed. Quickly, he wrote a letter to the emperor of Lilliput, “I’m off to visit Blefuscu, as I promised.”
Then he hurried down to the sea b 41 Lilliput and Blefuscu. The king of Blefuscu himself came out to meet him.
“Welcome!” cried the king. “Stay as l 42 as you like.”
Walking on the beach a week later, Gulliver saw a small boat—but a full-sized one. It was floating upside down in the water.
Gulliver rushed to the king and begged, “Can you help me rescue the boat This could be my c 43 to go home.”
“Of course,” said the king. “Take some ships to help you.”
Gulliver s 44 out to the boat, holding ropes from each of the ships.
With the ships pulling and Gulliver p 45 , the boat was brought safely to shore.
Gulliver and the k 46 men set about fixing the boat for his long journey home. Soon, the boat was finished.
“I’d like to leave now,” Gulliver told the king. “But n 47 one at home will believe my story. Could I take some of your people with me ”
“I can’t possibly allow that,” said the king. “But you may take some cows and a sheep.”
He a 48 gave Gulliver fifty bags of gold coins. “I don’t want you to go,” he said. “But I understand why you have to.”
“Thank you,” said Gulliver. “I’ll never forget you all.”
After only a few days at sea in his boat, Gulliver saw a ship. He shouted and waved wildly.
He was l 49 ! One sailor found him. The ship sailed over and picked up Gulliver. “Where have you come from ” asked the captain. “A place called Lilliput.” said Gulliver and he showed the captain the p 50 from the emperor.
The captain was so surprised. For a few gold coins and a couple of cows, he agreed to take Gulliver all the way home.

Dear reader, my name is Lemuel Gulliver. I was born in London. I liked traveling and I made several unbelievable journeys. I saw things that you will find d 51 to believe: People no bigger than this book; other people taller than the tallest tree; a country in clouds above us; and animals more civilized (文明) than h 52 . It was an interesting life.
I want to talk about my journeys, you may think I am mad. But please remember, as you read, that I am an honest man and that my words are t 53 .
When I was a young man, I studied medicine at Cambridge University to be a d 54 . I worked at London at first, but it was not easy to make money there. I d 55 to work as a ship’s doctor. One ship I w 56 on was called the Antelope. Our journey went well at first, but one day there was a great s 57 . The wind drove our ship on to a rock, which broke the ship in half. As I threw m 58 into the sea, I thought that this was the end.
But luck was with me. I could swim quite well and I did not want to end my days w 59 a fight. I swam for many hours in the water and I was very tired. Suddenly, I realized that the water was not deep any more—my feet t 60 the ground!
Do you want to know what happened after that Read by yourself and try to find the answers.

One morning there was a loud knock at Dean (牧师) Swift’s door. The servant (仆人) opened it. A man handed her a fine duck and said, “Here’s a present for the Dean. It’s from Mr. Boyle.”
Then he walked a 61 . Mr. Boyle was a sporting neighbour and he was a fan of Dean Swift. The next time, the man brought a quail. “Here’s s 62 else for the Dean,” he said simply, and threw it to the servant.
“That man has no m 63 ,” the servant complained. “The next time he comes,”said the Dean, “let me know, and I will go to the door.” It was not long u 64 the man came with a present. The Dean went to the door.
“This is Mr. Boyle’s rabbit,” said the man. “See here,” said the Dean in a s 65 voice, “that is not the way to send a message. Just walk inside and pretend (假装) that you are Dean Swift. I will go out and pretend that I am bringing him a present.” The man a 66 and he walked inside. The Dean took the rabbit and went out. Then he knocked gently at the door. The door was o 67 by the man.
The Dean bowed (鞠躬) and said, “If you please, sir, Mr. Boyle’s compliments (致意), and he wishes you could a 68 this fine rabbit.” “Oh, thank you,” said the man very politely. Then, he gave the Dean a shilling (先令<货币单位>). “And here is something for your trouble.”
The lesson in manners was not forgotten; the man was always very p 69 when he brought the presents. And the Dean always gives the man a “tip” for his problem. Jonathan Swift, often called Dean Swift, was famous as a w 70 . Among other books he wrote Gulliver’s Travels.

Gulliver’s Travels tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s doctor, who has the most unbelievable e 71 on his travels.
The story is told by Gulliver himself and every journey he makes ends w 72 his ship being destroyed or attacked by pirates. Each time this happens Gulliver finds h 73 in a strange land with even stranger people.
The book was a s 74 when first published and is still popular today because both young readers and adults enjoy it. This is because it can be enjoyed on many different l 75 : as a young reader’s fantasy story about travel and adventure and a 76 as a political satire(讽刺) for adults.
In fact, Gulliver’s Travels is a travel book and Gulliver is a great adventurer. He always wants to leave h 77 and travel on the seas another time. All these make the book a classic which people are never t 78 of reading.
At the end of the story Gulliver finally ends his travels but he is strongly c 79 by them. He learns that there are many different ideas of what makes a civilized (文明的) society and that we must not feel b 80 than others because they are different .

Living with giants is not easy. But the man and his family were kind to me. They were simple farmers and they s 81 to like me. They gave me food and drink and were gentle with me.
“Where am I ” I asked the father of the family. He did not speak English but he seemed to understand the sense of my question. I l 82 that the name of the island was Brobdingnag.
The family, I repeat, was very kind but I discovered（发现）very quickly that life as a tiny person is f 83 of dangers. For example, the family I lived with had a one-year-old son who wanted to p 84 with me and he even tried to eat me!
But the biggest danger came from a group of rats. When I arrived the man’s wife put me into a room to rest. I thought I was a 85 but I soon discovered another family in the room: a family of rats. These rats were the s 86 of elephants beside me and for them I was food. They began to attack（攻击）me from every corner and I only s 87 myself because I still had my sword（剑）with me.
“After only one day on Brobdingnag,” I thought, “I have almost died twice. Can I survive here ”
But not everything was b 88 on Brobdingnag and the best thing about the farmers’ family was his nine-year-old daughter. She was very protective towards me and we soon became close f 89 . She called me Grildrig, which means ‘doll’ in their language, and I called her Glumdalclitch, which means ‘little nurse’, as she always l 90 after me.
Gradually more and more people heard about me and came to the farmers’ house to see me.

He woke up as the sun was rising, 93 he found he could not move. His arms, legs and hair were 94 to the ground!
Then he felt 95 on his leg. It moved up over his stomach and neck 96 it was standing near his face. He was very 97 when he saw such a small man. He found the small man was the same size 98 his little finger! “Where was I Who was this tiny person ” he asked himself.
Soon some of us started climbing all over him. There were around 40 of us. He shouted at us—the loud noise 99 us all fall over. However, we soon got up again and continued 100 across his body.
One of our leaders began talking to him, but Gulliver could not 101 him. He did not know what to say either. He tried to pull one hand free and finally managed 102 the ropes. When he 103 one of his hands into the air, we began to shout. He looked 104 and saw a huge army.

Late one night, Gulliver received a warning that some nobles wanted him killed. Even the emperor of Lilliput wanted to give him less food to save 106 . It was true Gulliver was very expensive.
Quickly, he wrote a letter to the emperor, “I’m 107 to visit Blefuscu, as I promised.”
Then he hurried down to the sea 108 Lilliput and Blefuscu.
The king of Blefuscu himself came out to meet him.
“Welcome!” cried the king. “Stay as 109 as you like.”
Walking on the beach a week later, Gulliver saw out at sea a small boat—but a full-sized one. It was 110 upside down in the water.
Gulliver rushed to the king. He begged, “Can you help me rescue the boat This could be my chance to go home.”
“Of course,” said the king. “Take some ships to help you.”
Gulliver swam out to the boat, holding ropes from each of the 111 .
With the ships pulling and Gulliver 112 , the boat was brought safely to shore.
Gulliver and the king’s men set about fixing the boat for his long journey home. Soon, the boat was finished.
“I’d like to leave now,” Gulliver told the king. “But no one at home will 113 my story. Could I take some of your people with me ”
“I can’t possibly 114 that,” said the king. “But you may take some 115 and a sheep.”
He also gave Gulliver fifty bags of gold coins. “I don’t want you to go,” he said. “But I understand 116 you have to.”
“Thank you,” said Gulliver. “I’ll never 117 you all.”
After only a few days at sea in his boat, Gulliver saw a ship. He shouted and waved wildly.
He was 118 ! One sailor found him. The ship sailed over and 119 Gulliver. “Where have you come from ” asked the captain. “A place called Lilliput.” said Gulliver and he showed the captain the 120 from the emperor.
The captain was so surprised. For a few gold coins and a couple of cows, he agreed to take Gulliver all the way home.

Gulliver soon grew tired of living at home and wanted to go 121 again. He went to sea on a boat and came to a new island. There were some people in it. 122 , they were dirty and had long hair, and they didn’t wear clothes. They just had some tree leaves 123 . They lived like animals and were not very clever.

131 the horses were so kind and gentle, Gulliver loved living among them. However, to the horses, people were nothing but 132 . People also sometimes fought and killed each other. Because Gulliver was human and could think and speak like they did, the horses soon became 133 him. They did not want him to make trouble, so they made him leave.
Gulliver built himself a small boat and sailed away. Finally, he 134 home. However, he did not want to be with other people any more. He wanted to be with horses.

In 1674, I was born on my father’s small farm in Nottinghamshire, England. I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. ▲ .
One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future I think you would be a good doctor.”
I wanted to make him happy, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke I was thinking, “At university I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor (水手).”
After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things.
“Mary,” I said one day. “I need more adventure in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.”
So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope leaving from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port (港口) in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal!
“Welcome aboard, Doctor Gulliver,” he said. “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.
“I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said. “I think a storm is coming.”
Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane (飓风), made a terrible sound.
“The wind is blowing the ship off course (航线)!” shouted the captain. “Look out!”

One morning, Reldresal, the principal secretary for private affairs (内务大臣), came to me. He let me hold him in my hand while we talked. He told me about a terrible war (战争) between Lilliput and a country nearby.
“My dear Gulliver,” he said, “please don’t think that everything is perfect here in Lilliput. The truth is very different. These days we are fighting against a country called Blefuscu.”
I was surprised to hear the news.
“More than 30,000 Lilliputians have died in this war,” he said.
“How terrible,” I said. “But why are you fighting ”
“We are fighting because of eggs,” he answered.
I could not believe my ears, but Reldresal continued to explain.
“On Lilliput we have always opened our boiled eggs from the bigger end. One day, however, the king’s grandfather cut his finger while doing this. As a result, the king made a new rule: everyone must open their eggs at the smaller end.”
“But why start a war because of this ” I asked. “Small end or big end, is it important ”
“It is very important for some Lilliputians,” Reldresal continued. “There have been many rebellions (反叛). Some of the people have escaped (逃离) to the island of Blefuscu because they do not want to change their egg-breaking habit.”
“Why have they moved to Blefuscu ” I asked.
“On the island of Blefuscu, they don’t have this new rule. They continue to break their eggs at the big end. The people there don’t want to go against their tradition. For this reason, the king of Blefuscu declared (宣布) war against Lilliput.”
The story seemed amazing to me. Can you imagine two countries fighting because of boiled eggs But I didn’t want to offend (冒犯) my friend. So I continued to listen with interest.
“The problem is,” Reldresal continued, “we think Blefuscu is preparing a new attack very soon and they have more ships than we do.” I saw the worry on his face.
I was also worried about the king and his people because they treated me well, so I decided to go to the king and offer my help.
“To thank you for your kindness, I am ready to defend (保卫) Lilliput and all the Lilliputians.”
The king thanked me for my offer, and we began to prepare a plan for the war at once.

“The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!”
Suddenly, with a loud crack, the Antelope hit some rocks and broke in half. The sailors fell into the sea. Many of them could not swim. The ship sank quickly, and I suppose everyone but me drowned.

When his ship was destroyed in a storm, Gulliver was washed up on the island of Lilliput. All of the people, animals and things in that country were tiny. The average (平均) Lilliputian stood only six inches (英尺) tall—so to them, Gulliver was a giant (巨人)!
He soon made friends with the Emperor of Lilliput and the emperor’s family. They made sure that their guest was well taken care of! Each day, he was served with good meals.
Gulliver repaid the Lilliputians’ kindness by doing jobs for them. He could plough (耕) a field with his comb (梳子), lift rocks without difficulty and construct stone houses as if he was playing with toy blocks.
The only problem for Gulliver was getting a good night’s sleep! He had a quilt that was made of many Lilliputian blankets (毯子), and it was very comfortable. But his bed was made from lots of tiny beds tied together—and it was terribly uncomfortable! He couldn’t sleep well. After too many sleepless nights, Gulliver had an idea.
He made a plan on the largest piece of paper he could find. The emperor and empress looked at it, nodded, and began giving orders to their people. People in Lilliput tried their best to help to make his “invention”.
After many days, Gulliver’s invention was ready, and all the tiny people gathered to see it. The thing was about two metres long, and it looked like a strange floppy (耷拉的) balloon.
The crowd watched as Gulliver picked it up and began blowing into it through a tiny valve (阀门) in the side. It started to puff up (膨胀) as he filled it with lungfuls of (一大口) air.
At last, it was full, and he plugged (堵，塞) the valve with a cork (塞子). The object looked like a huge rectangular (矩形) cake as it sat on the ground!
Gulliver lay down on it with a sigh of (短暂的) satisfaction and pulled the patchwork (拼缝的) quilt up to his chin (下巴). His new air mattress (床垫) was much more comfortable than dozens of (几十个) little beds joined together. It was like sleeping on a cloud! He fell asleep as the crowd quietly go back home.

I have heard of many wars which have started for the funniest reasons, but can you imagine two countries fighting because of boiled eggs
Lilliputians thought Bleuscu was preparing a new attack very soon and they had more ships than we had here on Lilliput. I was worried, too. I was also sorry for the emperor and his people because they always treated me well. So I decided to go to the emperor and offer him my services.
“To thank you for your kindness, Emperor, I am ready to put my life in danger to protect Lilliput and all the Lilliputians. I will fight the Blefuscans for you!”
The emperor thanked me for my offer and understood that with my ‘great’ help, Lilliput had a good chance of winning the war. So we immediately began to prepare a plan of action.
The island of Blefuscu is separated from Lilliput by a narrow channel of water. I planned to swim across and catch the Blefuscan fleet before they attacked Lilliput. I knew that the Blefuscans did not know anything about me. So I had the great advantage of surprise. When they saw me coming across the water for the first time, you can imagine their fear.
I swam across the channel with some ropes. When the enemy saw the Man Mountain they all screamed and jumped off their ships into the sea. And so as planned, I caught the Blefuscan fleet of ships. I tied their ships to my ropes and pulled the ships back to Lilliput.
I arrived back on Lilliput pulling the enemy’s ships behind me. My plan was a success! I immediately became a national hero and the emperor gave me the highest honour in the country:I became a ‘nardac’(which in the Lilliputian language means a very important person).

In the days that followed, dear readers, I slowly became friendly with the emperor and his people. They did their best to make me feel at home and brought me food and drink. I learnt that the name of their country was Lilliput. The emperor of Lilliput was a noble-looking (仪态高贵的) man. He wore expensive clothes and had a big hat decorated with feathers. The queen was also very elegant (优雅的). Hundreds of little people worked together to make new clothes for me and they gathered six hundred mattresses (床垫) to make me a bed.
The people of Lilliput called me “Man Mountain” and they came from all over the country to see me. People had to pay to see me and the money made the emperor very rich.
One day the emperor organized a parade for his people. He asked me to stand and his army walked through my legs to make everyone laugh happily. There were thousands of soldiers, some of them on horses. Everyone was happy.
The emperor and his people always treated me well and helped me in many ways. They organized language lessons for me. So gradually I began to understand and communicate with the Lilliputians and learn more about their lives. But I was still a prisoner in my temple home and every day I asked the emperor the same question:
“________”
“You must be patient,” he always answered.
Then one day the emperor gave me the freedom to walk about Lilliput. This made a big difference to me. I was able to explore the land. I was careful not to hurt the people or damage their houses as I walked. Everyone stayed inside and ran to their windows to look at me. I enjoyed looking into the windows of the emperor’s beautiful palace to see how he lived.

On 20th June 1702, I set off for Surat, on a ship called the Adventure.
The first part of our trip went well. But later there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship off course. We didn’t know where we were.
At last, when the storms stopped, we saw an island. We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water.
That was a big mistake. When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing back to our ship with a giant (巨人) following them in the sea! They were very afraid.
I ran as fast as I could. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields. Then I saw other giants working in the fields.
“On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny (小的) people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!” It was not a nice feeling. I was so sad and hid behind a big tree. I had to think of a plan, but at that time one of the giants saw me.

Lots of people came to the temple to see me. The emperor and his men were kind to me. They brought food and drink. And then six teachers from the university taught me the language of the country. In three weeks, I was able to speak their language and learned much about their country, Lilliput.
Soon after that, the emperor told two officers to look into my pockets. So, I picked up the two officers, and put them into one of my coat pockets. Then I put them into all my other pockets.
They found a pencil, a watch, and several other things there. The officers made a list of the things which they had found in my pockets, and gave the list to the emperor. He told me to throw down my sword, my pistol, and some other things. The emperor liked my watch. He told two officers to take it away. They carried it on a pole.
My pistol was also very strange to them. The emperor wanted to know how to use it. I had to fire the pistol in front of the emperor and his men. When I shot it, hundreds of small people fell to the ground.
The emperor often came to see me to learn different things.
One day when I was talking with the emperor, a messenger came to him. The messenger said to the emperor:
“When we were walking along the beach, we found something huge and black. Nobody knows what it is. It may be some great sea-beast, but it is not alive, for it doesn’t move.”
Soon I learned that the strange thing was my hat. I was wearing it when I was in the water, but I lost it when I was up on the beach.
The emperor told some men to bring it to him.
The next day, they made two holes in the brim and fastened a piece of rope to the thing and tied the rope to five horses. The horses pulled the hat for half a mile.

In 1674, I was born on my father’s small farm in Nottinghamshire, England. I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often daydreamed about going to sea.
One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future I think you would be a good doctor.”
I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.”
After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things.
“Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.”
So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal!
“Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.
“I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.”
Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound.
“The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!”

I was careful to behave as well as possible, to persuade the King to give me my freedom. Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me. They called me the Man-Mountain. Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair. By now I was able to speak their language well.
One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments, which are greatly enjoyed by him, his family, and his lords and ladies. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional (偶尔的) deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials.
There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon (缎带) to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one. Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.

It was a happy time for me, but there were many dangers because of my small size. There are some incidents (事件) that I remembered clearly.
Every morning Glumdalclitch carried my box to the window. One day she carried me to the window as usual, and then she left me there. Some huge wasps came in through the window, and entered the box. They were the size of birds in England, and they were very fierce (凶猛的). I was afraid of them. I took out my sword and fought them. I killed four of them. Luckily, the others flew away.
Another dangerous moment that I remembered was this: Glumdalclitch left me in the garden one day, and the weather was very bad. First it rained, and then it hailed (下冰雹) very hard. The hailstones were the size of tennis balls, and they hurt me badly. I tried to hide under a tree, but I was still hit by some of them.
Another danger came from an idea that the Queen had. She knew that I liked boats, and she ordered one of her servants to make a little boat for me. The servant put the boat into a tank of water on the table. I spent many hours in this boat. One day, however, a frog jumped out of the water into the boat. I thought the boat would sink, and I was afraid. I was lucky, and I managed to push the frog out of the boat.

My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up.
The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going.
I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servant tapped him on the mouth and he spoke.
I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested (抗议，反对) very quickly.
“I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa.
