Gulliver‘s Travels is the most famous work of the Irish priest Jonathan Swift, and the first part of it, Gulliver in Liliput (小 人国), has now been made into a BBC television series. It is often regarded as an adventure story or even a children‘s book. In fact Swift wrote it, in 1726, as a savage satire on the politics and customs of the day, and children‘s editions are usually adapted. Many of the Liliputian celebrities are recognizable as powerful figures in the England of Swift‘s time; Treasurer Flimnap, for example, is Swift‘s old enemy, the politician Sir Robert Walpole. The satirist cuts them right down to size. Swift wrote ironically, pouring forth poetry, letters and political pamphlets as well as satire. His rich sense of humor and sharply perceptive mind were affected by his early struggles in life and a chronic kidney complaint. The contradictions in his character resolved themselves in a love of irony, jokes, and humor; through his own weaknesses and struggles he had a profound understanding of human natures and recorded them as they were. His acid eye and sharp pen made him popular with the wits of the day. His first satire, "A Tale of a Tub", attacking the church, was well received. The society enthusiastically embraced the quiet Irish priest. In 1745 Jonathan Swift died after five years of agony (痛苦) and madness. 请大神帮我翻译一下, 谢谢!
