喜马拉雅的听众朋友,你好,我是汪洪章,我选取了《格列佛游记》中的两节文字与你分享,这两节文字极其夸张的表现了格列佛厌恶人类的情绪。
My wife and family received me with great surprise and joy, because theyconcluded me certainly dead; but I must freely confess the sight of them filledme only with hatred, disgust and contempt, and the more by reflecting on thenear alliance I had to them. For although, since my unfortunate exile from theHouyhnhnm country, I had compelled myself to tolerate the sight of Yahoos, andto converse with DonPedro de Mendez; yet my memory and imaginations wereperpetually filled with the virtues and ideas of those exalted Houyhnhnms. Andwhen I began to consider, that by copulating with one of the Yahoo species Ihad become a parent of more, it struck me with the utmost shame, confusion, andhorror.
As soon as I entered the house, my wife took me in her arms, and kissed me,at which, having not been used to the touch of that odious animal for so manyyears, I fell in a swoon for almost an hou. At the time I am writing it is fiveyears since my last return to England: during the first year I smell of themroom. To this hour they dare not presume to touch my bread, or drink out of thesame cup; nerther was I ever able to let one of them take me by the hand. Thefirst money I laid out was to buy two young stone-horses, which I keep in agood stable, and next to them the groom is my greatest favourite; for I feel myspirits revived by the smell he contracts in the stable. My horses understandme tolerably well; I converse with them at least four hours every day. They arestrangers to bridle or saddle; they live in great amity with me, and friendshipto each other.
我的妻子和家人迎接到我是又惊又喜,因为他们都断定我就死了。但是我必须承认,见到他们我心中只充满了仇恨、厌恶和鄙视,而一想到我同他们的密切关系,就更是如此了。因为虽然我不幸从“慧骃”国里被放逐了出来,强忍着同“野胡”们见面,同彼得罗·德·孟德斯先生说话,可我记忆里、想象中还都时时刻刻一直被那些崇高的“慧骃”们的美德和思想满满占据着,而我想到自己曾和一只“野胡”交媾过,从而成了几只“野狐”的父亲,这就叫我感到莫大的羞耻、惶惑和恐惧。
我一进家妻子就拥抱我、吻我;多少年不习惯碰这种可厌的动物了,所以她这么一来,我立即就晕了过去,差不多一个小时后才醒过来。现在写这部书的时候,我回英国已经五年了。第一年当中,我都不准我妻子和孩子到我跟前来,他们身上的气味我受不了,更不要说让他们同我在一个房间里吃饭了。时至今日,他们还是不敢碰一碰我的面包,或者用我的杯子喝水,我也从来不让他们任何一个牵我的手。我花的第一笔钱是用它买了两匹小马,我把它们养在一个很好的马厩里。小马之外,马夫就是我最爱的人了,他在马厩里沾染来的那种气味我闻到就来精神。我的马颇能理解我,我每天至少要同它们说上四个小时。它们从不带辔头和马鞍。我同它们和睦相处,它俩之间也很友爱。
这段文字很能提现斯威夫特的厌世情绪,他讨厌的是没有理性和美德的世界与人性,他渴求理性的光芒照耀大地,欣赏智慧与理智。他为自己也曾经也是这样的人感到羞愧,但实际上他无非抛开自己的出身,无法得到纯粹的理性,就像他会被慧骃国王流放一样,纯粹理性的梦总会醒来。1.4
通过老师这两节英文分享,极其夸张的表现了格列佛厌恶人类的情绪,有时候人类的虚伪真赶不上动物的纯真,和动物相处,人往往会感觉不累,2019年1月4日
