《格列佛游记》中“英国性”的重建

The Reconstruction of Englishness in Gulliver's Travels

斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》是世界讽刺文学的典范。小说中的幻想国度以现实中的英国为背景,斯威夫特通过叙述人格列佛对英国性首先进行建构,然后在反思中进行消解,并对其进行讽刺和批判,体现了作者对虚构的英国性的清醒认识,呈现了他对英国性的理解和定义,表现出其理想主义思想和改革社会的主张。

Swift＇s Gulliver; Travels is the model of satire works in the world. The fantasy countries in the novel are based on the background of the reality in England. Swift arranges Gulliver as a narrator who first feels pride in Englishness and then deconstructs the imaginary Englishness. The Novetist also critici- zes this phenomenon in the ironic way, conveying his clear-headed consideration to the illusory ＂English- hess＂. Besides, Swift presents his own understanding and definition to Englishness, which conveys his ideology of idealism and assertion of reformation to society.
