之前在一篇文章里说要写一篇英文原著的入门参考,这篇算是吧。
我的想法是,先把20本相对比较简单的英文原著按阅读难易程度排列出来,从易到难。 选书这个步骤我觉得是非常重要的,比阅读方法、查词复习都要重要多了,我们选的英文原著的难易程度直接决定了我们能否读得下去。 我见过太多刚开始读原著的人去读《The Great Gatsby》,但没读几页就被满页的变态生词和长难句给吓退了,从此再也不碰英文原著,实在是可惜啊。
所以,我来按照难易程度把20本原著列出来,作为参考(部分原著在这篇文中已经推荐过了), 文末简单写一下阅读方法和建议。
01
Who Moved My Cheese?
《谁动了我的奶酪?》
这本书相信大家都听过吧,一本很短的心灵鸡汤,以寓言的形式讲了一个简单的道理。英文原版非常简单,而且篇幅也很短。 有四级基础的话一两个小时就可以看完了,实在是一本入门英文原著的绝佳之选。
02
The Little Prince
《小王子》
火遍全球的《小王子》,但严格意义上来讲,它并不能被称为英文原著,因为原书是用法语写成的。但次书的英文版的确很适合入门,语言简单,而且篇幅很短,一天差不多就可以看完了。相信很多朋友应该是看过中文版的,沙漠、狐狸、玫瑰、蛇、各种奇奇怪怪的星球,这些唯美的元素共同构成了一个忧伤的成人童话,一本不可多得的好书。
03
Charlotte's Web
《夏洛的网》
这本书之前也推荐过了,读起来给人一种很舒服的感觉,而且因为是童话的缘故,所以语言也比较简单。我个人非常喜欢这本书里营造出的“美国乡村田园风”的意境,下雨天里安静的牧场、酣睡的各种动物、从水面中跃出的小鱼,很美。
04
《纳尼亚系列》
这一系列也推荐过了,是英国作家C?S?刘易斯创作的一系列奇幻。因为是儿童文学的缘故,篇幅短、情节和语言较为简单,所以非常适合作为英文原著入门之选。一共有七本,我只看了前四本。我个人觉得这套书的情节相对来说是有些低幼了,看多了也会腻,所以看个一两本感受一下难度就很好了。
05
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
《查理和巧克力工厂》
这本书是英国的儿童文学作家Roald Dahl写的,情节有趣、语言幽默、想象力天马行空,小时候你也幻想过自己能有一座用巧克力做成的房子吧?来看这本书吧,满足你的幻想。总之,这本书读起来给人的感觉很舒服很流畅,我当时是一口气用半天时间读完的。
除了这本之外,Roald Dahl的其他作品也非常值得推荐,可以搜来看看。
06
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
《爱德华的奇妙之旅》
强推!强推!!强推!!!
这本书,真的太好看了好吗!!!
看过韩剧《来自星星的你》的朋友应该会觉得这本书挺眼熟的,是的,这本书就是剧中男主都教授的枕边书。其实我是先看的书,喜欢得不得了,然后听说这也是某部韩剧男主的枕边书,于是我想,这男主的品味这么高(变相地夸自己2333)?那我姑且就看看这部韩剧咯。
之前我一直觉得韩剧都是拍给女生看的,所以没怎么看过韩剧。但这部剧真的让我中毒了。它的精神内核简直和《爱德华》这本书完美契合,不得不说编剧的功力真的太强了。所以我强烈建议各位看过这部韩剧的、或者没看过的,都去找来这本书看看。
07
Daughter of Deceit
《欺骗的女儿》
这是我读的第一本英文原著,不过现在看来,它可能并不是最适合入门的。 因为篇幅较长,情节拖拉,容易消磨人的耐心,不适合刚开始接触原著的人。而且剧情真的蛮狗血的,男女主相爱了,然后发现两人居然是亲兄妹!然后,又发现搞错了,并不是亲兄妹!男女主终于觉得能和对方在一起了,结果又插进来一个第三者,后来第三者被男主妈妈neng死了。怪不得作者被称为英国的琼瑶啊。
08
Bridge to Terabithia
《仙境之桥》
这本也推荐过了,就不多说了。同名翻拍**也很好看,推荐搜来看看。
09
Flipped
《怦然心动》
这本也强推!!!
这本书也是我非常喜欢的一本,还专门给它写了一篇推荐文章 。 分别以男主和女主的口吻娓娓道来青春期里特有的烦恼和心动,成长的过程中一直有摩擦和误解,但是最终还是放下了偏见、互相地去理解对方。以一个有趣的初恋故事传达出成长的道理。读完后自己也有怦然心动的感觉,不知道在此之前有多久没有读到这样一本让人看完后很愉悦的书了。
10
The Hy Prince and Other Stories
《快乐王子童话集》
王尔德的童话。 其实这本书的整体难度不大,更适合放在一星难度里,但是因为王尔德他老人家啊,描写风景时总是喜欢写各种奇花异果,用一些非常生僻的词汇。 这些词汇不查的话其实也不影响大致情节,但是读王尔德的童话就是要感受他笔下的唯美嘛,单单粗略了解大致情节而不去感受字里行间的唯美,其实是有些暴殄天物了。所以思虑再三,把这本书放到了二星难度行列。
11
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
《当我谈跑步时,我谈些什么》
这本书我也非常喜欢, 村上春树的一本关于跑步、写作、人生的随笔集, 也不能算是英文“原著”,因为原书是用日语写成的。虽然是翻译版,但读起来真的是出奇的流畅简洁,文风淡如水,毫无违和感。作者用诙谐清淡的笔调,言语间便将自己的人生哲理传递给读者,读完就像喝了一瓶冰啤酒一般,舒舒服服,清清爽爽。
我虽然不是村上春树的粉丝,但我真的无比佩服他这个人。坚持长跑、写作二十余年不间断,毅力惊人,自律、专注、严格、节制,这些优点他全占了。读来也真是惭愧,反观自己,作息不规律,自制力也不强,的确要像他学习啊。
全书最喜欢也最经典的一句话:“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” 这句话使得英文之美一展无疑,简洁,对称,隽永。 而且意境深远,即使跑了二十多年的马拉松,在每一次的后程身体还是会感到痛苦无比,虽然pain是inevitable的,但Suffering却是可以主观避免的。
12-14
A Walk to Remember
《初恋的回忆》
The Notebook
《恋恋笔记本》
Dear John
《分手信》
这三本都是Nicholas Sparks写的,所以放在一起来介绍。 这个作家在美国被称为“纯爱天王”,他的书都是一些很纯的爱情故事,非常细腻。这种书呢,喜欢的人会很喜欢,不喜欢的人就读不下去。
《恋恋笔记本》知道的人应该比较多,因为同名翻拍**名气很大,经常被列为最催泪**之一。《分手信》这本呢,我是在高考后的暑,在北京的一家网吧里通宵读完中文版的,到了大学后又找来了英文版看了看,期间经历了一些事情,第二次看时也多了一些新的感悟,还不错的一本书。这三本都被翻拍成了**,感兴趣的话可以找来看看。
Nicholas Sparks的作品还是很多的,喜欢的话可以都找来读完,阅读能力和词汇量一定能够上一个台阶。
15
Rage of Angels
(没有中文名)
这本书是Sheldon, Sidney写的,号称美国金庸,擅长写悬疑推理题材。 的文笔浅显易懂,长难句不多,偏爱用小词和小词组成的地道短语。作品也挺多的,喜欢这种风格的话可以把他的书全读了,阅读能力也可以上一个台阶。
16
Animal Farm
《动物农场》
这本书也介绍过了,乔治奥威尔的名作。如此大名鼎鼎的一本书,应该没几个人没看过吧,就不多说了。
17
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
《七堂极简物理课》
这本书我个人也很喜欢。这是一本物理学科普,全书很短,大概只有90多页。作者仅用这么短的篇幅便将量子力学、相对论、粒子物理学、热动力学以及其他领域的科学精粹,浓缩到七堂课中,阐释了几个世纪以来人类对于物理学的认知。
更难能可贵的是,虽然是物理学科普,但作者却将其写得像诗歌一般美,用文学作品一样笔触带着我们置身于宇宙的浩淼浪漫之中。 也不奇怪,我们的世界,这个宇宙,本来就是最美的东西,当以最美的语言写出来。
18-20
何伟三部曲
Oracle Bones《甲骨文》
River Town《江城》
Country Driving《寻路中国》
彼得?海斯勒(Peter Hessler),中文名何伟,曾任《纽约客》驻北京记者。 这三本书记录的是是他在上世纪末旅居中国时的一些见闻和感想,我个人真的太喜欢这三本书了。 说起来呢,作为在上世纪西方对中国的偏见之下成长起来的美国人,真的很难不带有色眼镜地去看待中国,但何伟做到了。看他的书中你能感到,何伟整体上融入了当地的生活,但某种程度上又置身其外,以一种冷静的笔调和态度去观察和记录中国。不过这种观察却并不带盲目的偏见,而是有温度的、有人文关怀的。读他笔下的文字,你真的很难做到不喜欢他。
特别是在读《江城》的时候,因为我在成都上学,所以何伟笔下对上世纪重庆的描写简直让我读着感同身受。一方面,很多东西变化微乎其微,好像那些文字并不是二三十年前写成的,而是几天之前写成的。另一方面,川渝这二三十年来变化发展日新月异,我想如何伟有朝一日再次来到这里,也会有诸多感慨吧。
读一读何伟吧,换一个视角来看看我们的祖国。
以上,一共介绍了20本,这20本都是我已经读过了的,推荐给大家,入门的话足够了。 大家也不要局限于我这篇文章,活用互联网,豆瓣、知乎上也有很多非常好的英文原著推荐书单。我以后可能也会定期推荐一些,所以这篇文章,未完待续。
好吧,其实也没有什么复杂的方法啦。 就像文章开头说的,首先一定要选与自己水平相当或高一点的书,然后慢慢进阶,过渡到难度较大的书。
当然,即使选好了书,生词还是会有的。有一种说法是“ 透析法 ”,什么是透析法呢?是指一部分单词透过不查,一部分单词查词析出,这个度最好控制在每页或每两页查一个生词。切忌遇到每个生词都查,这样既效率低下,又打击积极性。
但我个人倒觉得不必拘泥,如有些词你觉得不查也无所谓,那就不查。或者有几页你觉得那些生词很重要,那多查几个也无妨。 重要的是,一定不要让“查词”过度影响你的阅读体验就是。
至于查出的词,一定要复习! 我建议放到里,强推欧路词典,然后自己制定复习,你觉得怎么适合就怎么来,这个就不多讲了。
用什么工具阅读比较好呢?当然首推我们可爱的kindle了!
Kindle比较好的一点就是可以看到生词 即点即查 ,而且你查过的生词它会自动帮你收集到自带的生词本里,简直方便到哭啊有没有!但是!这还不是最方便的, 有一个电脑端软件叫kindle mate,这款软件到底有多强大?它可以将你在kindle查过的生词批量导出,这样你就可以直接将生词再导入欧路词典里了,简直太感人了。
当然,如果没有kindle的话,用手机也是可以的。但kindle更加有纸质书的质感啦。
这样读个几十本原著,阅读能力和词汇量一定能够有很大的进步,与诸君共勉。
以上,感谢阅读。

心灵鸡汤读后感英文版
Whether sixty orsix, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, theunfailing childlike etite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wirelestation: so long asit receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men andfrom the infinite, so long are you young.
无论是60岁还是16岁,你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底,有一座无线电台,它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息,你就会年轻多长时间。
An individualhuman existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly containedwithin its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterf-alls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow morequietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in thesea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
人的生命应当像河流,开始是涓涓细流,受两岸的限制而十分狭窄,尔后奔腾咆哮,翻过危岩,飞越瀑布,河面渐渐开阔,河岸也随之向两边隐去,最后水流平缓,森森无际,汇入大海之中,个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。
Youth means atemperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the etite foradventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than aboy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old bydeserting our ideals.
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致,更主要的是不思进取的结果。
Years may wrinklethe skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
光阴可以在颜面上留下印记,而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂,并将青春化为灰烬。
"Jack" Book
A few days ago, I read Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen wrote "Jack", after reading deep feelings.
The book's more than 300 stories, each of which contains a profound truth, let me learn to love to others, with confidence to meet life's challenges. When I face setbacks and frustrations, it would be my encouragement and consolation; in my face when successful, it will allow me to the future with hope. It will always be my life's mentor.
This book, so that impressed me most was the story of Juan Qi: Ye Yan feeling. This story is about a group of wild geese help each other, fly to the South. Along the way, they encountered many difficulties, but they work together with the strength of the team, successfully reached the final of the South. The story of the Black word I still remember the deep: "The bird will not rise too high, if only to use their wings soaring." In fact, is far more than birds, in fact, were the same. Only among people help each other in order to oain greater success. The team is a powerful force, if a person from the team, it would never be enough help to win success. Keep in mind that the success of those who always know how to Languages and other people, because they he greater advantages. Remember that there are personal: "Do you he an le, I he an le and we exchange the two after an le; but you he a thought, I he a thought, we both he two each after the exchange of ideas. "It is for this reason that a united collective always better than one.
Three Stooges, one better than Zhuge Liang. Share common goals and collective sense of the people can be faster and more easily reach the place where they want to go because they are each other's momentum by virtue of its ability to help and act in the future. Life of all kinds of examples of this. Scientific research, many successful people are in fact standing behind a number of great help to him. In the case of those who received the Nobel Prize for it, they always would like to thank the award after some people in this period of his full help. Without these people, then he can not always possible to invent and create something. It is because of these people to help, he can engage in to success.
Of course, "Jack" ge me far more than help them. It also should be taught me to love other people, to learn how to achieve the dream of how to overcome obstacles in the face of death, and so the attitude. Thanks to the "Jack" help me, I will always remember "Jack" taught me everything.
《心灵鸡汤》读后感
前几天,我读了杰克?坎菲尔和马克?汉森写的《心灵鸡汤》,读完后感受颇深。
这本书中的三百多个故事,每一个都蕴涵了深刻的道理,它让我学会去疼爱他人,充满信心地去迎接生活的挑战。在我面临挫折和失意时,它会使我得到鼓励和慰藉;在我面临成功时,它又会让我对未来充满希望。它将成为我一生中永远的良师益友。
这本书中,让我印象最深的是卷七中的故事:野雁的感觉。这个故事讲的是一群大雁互相帮助,飞往南方。一路上,它们遇到了许多困难,但它们齐心协力,借助团队的力量,最后成功到达了南方。这个故事中布莱克的一句话让我记忆犹深:“没有一只鸟会升得太高,如果它只用自己的翅膀飞升。”其实,何止是鸟,其实人也一样。人与人之间只有互相帮助,才能获得更大的成功。团队的力量是强大的,一个人如果脱离了团队,就一定不能获得足够的帮助来赢得成功。记住,成功的总是那些懂得和别人互帮互助的人,因为他们有更大的优势。记得有个人说过:“你有一个苹果,我有一个苹果,我们两个交换后仍是一个苹果;但你有一个思想,我有一个思想,我们两个交换后就各拥有两个思想。”正是因为这样,一个团结的集体总是能胜过一个人。
三个臭皮匠,赛过一个诸葛亮。分享共同目标与集体感的人们可以更快、更轻易地到达他们想去的地方,因为他们凭借着彼此的冲劲、助力而向前行。生活中的种种例子证明了这一点。科学研究中,许多研究成功的人后面其实都站着一些给予他很大帮助的人。就拿获得诺贝尔奖的那些人来说吧,他们获奖之后总是要感谢某些人在这期间对他的鼎力帮助。如果没有这些人,那么他可能永远也不能有所发明,有所创造。正是因为有了这些人的帮助,他才能无忧无虑地走向成功。
当然,《心灵鸡汤》给我的帮助远不止这些。它还教我应该去爱护他人,去学习,如何实现梦想,怎样去克服障碍,面对死亡的态度等等。感谢《心灵鸡汤》对我的帮助,我将永远记得《心灵鸡汤》教给我的一切。

It was a freezing day, a few years ago, when I stumbled upon a wallet in the street. There was no identification inside. Just three dollars, and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years.
The only thing legible on the torn envelope was the return address. I opened the letter and saw that it had been written in 1924 — almost 60 years ago. I read it carefully, hoping to find some clue to the identity of the wallet's owner.
It was a "Dear John" letter. The writer, in a delicate script, told the recipient, whose name was Michael, that her mother forbade her to see him again. Nevertheless, she would always love him. It was signed Hannah.
It was a beautiful letter. But there was no way, beyond the name Michael, to identify the owner. Perhaps if I called information the operator could find the phone number for the address shown on the envelope.
"Operator, this is an unusual request. I'm trying to find the owner of a wallet I found. Is there any way you could tell me the phone number for an address that was on a letter in the wallet?" The operator ge me her supervisor, who said there was a phone listed at the address, but that she could not give me the number. However, she would call and explain the situation. Then, if the party wanted to talk, she would connect me. I waited a minute and she came back on the line. "I he a woman who will speak with you."
I asked the woman if she knew a Hannah.
"Oh, of course! We bought this house from Hannah's family thirty years ago."
"Would you know where they could be located now?" I asked.
"Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home years ago. Maybe the home could help you track down the daughter."
The woman ge me the name of the nursing home. I called and found out that Hannah's mother had died. The woman I spoke with ge me an address where she thought Hannah could be reached. I phoned. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home. She ge me the number. I called and was told, "Yes, Hannah is with us." I asked if I could stop by to see her. It was almost 10 p.m. The director said Hannah might be asleep. "But if you want to take a chance, maybe she's in the day room watching television." The director and a guard greeted me at the door of the nursing home. We went up to the third floor and saw the nurse, who told us that Hannah was indeed watching TV.
We entered the day room. Hannah was a sweet, silver-haired old-timer with a warm smile and friendly eyes. I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw it, she took a deep breath. "Young man," she said, "this letter was the last contact I had with Michael." She looked away for a moment, then said pensively, "I loved him very much. But I was only six and my mother felt I was too young. He was so handsome. You know, like Sean Connery, the actor."
We both laughed. The director then left us alone. "Yes, Michael Goldstein was his name. If you find him, tell him I still think of him often. I never did marry," she said, smiling through tears that welled up in her eyes. "I guess no one ever matched up to Michael..."
I thanked Hannah, said good-bye and took the elevator to the first floor. As I stood at the door, the guard asked, "Was the old lady able to help you?"
I told him she had given me a lead. "At least I he a last name. But I probably won't pursue it further for a while." I explained that I had spent almost the whole day trying to find the wallet's owner.While we talked, I pulled out the brown-leather case with its red-lanyard lacing and showed it to the guard. He looked at it closely and said, "Hey, I'd know that anywhere. That's Mr. Goldstein's. He's always losing it. I found it in the hall at least three times."
"Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I asked. "He's one of the old-timers on the eighth floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet, for sure. He goes out for a walk quite often."
I thanked the guard and ran back to the director's office to tell him what the guard had said. He accompanied me to the eighth floor. I prayed that Mr. Goldstein would be up.
"I think he's still in the day room," the nurse said. "He likes to read at night...a darling old man."
We went to the only room that had lights on, and there was a man reading a book. The director asked him if he had lost his wallet. Michael Goldstein looked up, felt his back pocket and then said, "Goodness, it is missing."
"This kind gentleman found a wallet. Could it be yours?"
The second he saw it, he smiled with relief. "Yes," he said, "that's it. Must he dropped it this afternoon. I want to give you a reward."
"Oh, no thank you," I said. "But I he to tell you something. I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet."
The smile on his face diseared. "You read that letter?"
"Not only did I read it, I think I know where Hannah is."
He grew pale. "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was?" I hesitated.
"Please tell me!" Michael urged.
"She's fine, and just as pretty as when you knew her."
"Could you tell me where she is? I want to call her tomorrow."
He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something? When that letter came, my life ended. I never married. I guess I've always loved her."
"Michael," I said. "Come with me." The three of us took the elevator to the third floor. We walked toward the day room where Hannah was sitting, still watching TV. The director went over to her.
"Hannah," he said softly. "Do you know this man?" Michael and I stood waiting in the doorway.
She adjusted her glasses, looked for a moment, but didn't say a word.
"Hannah, it's Michael. Michael Goldstein. Do you remember?"
"Michael? Michael? It's you!"
He walked slowly to her side. She stood and they embraced. Then the two of them sat on a couch, held hands and started to talk. The director and I walked out, both of us crying.
"See how the good Lord works," I said philosophically. "If it's meant to be. It will be." Three weeks later, I got a call from the director who asked, "Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding?" He didn't wait for an answer. "Yup, Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot!"
It was a lovely wedding, with all the people at the nursing home joining in the celebration. Hannah wore a beige dress and looked beautiful. Michael wore a dark blue suit and stood tall. The home ge them their own room, and if you ever wanted to see a 76-year-old bride and a 78-year old groom acting like two -agers, you had to see this couple.
A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years.
