Gulliver’s Travels Part Ⅳ A Voyage to the Country of Houyhnhnms Chapter Ⅶ In what ways are Yahoos comparable to human beings in Gulliver’s Travels? 1、Features of body/shapes.(身体特征，体型，相貌） “As to myself, it was manifest I had neither the strength nor agility of a common yahoo; that I walked infirmly on my hinder feet; had found out a contrivance to make my claws of no use or defence, and to remove the hair from my chin, which was intended as a shelter from the sun and the weather.

(好吃懒做，肮脏，不爱清洁） “……it produced in
