原版英文书片段

美国南加州大学的语言教育学家——史蒂芬·克拉申教授，在《阅读的力量》（the power of reading）一文中提到： “直接教学对提高学生的语文能力没有功效。也就是说，大部分老师花了大量时间，在课堂上教字词句、语法规则、语文知识、阅读方法，基本上是浪费时间，远不如让孩子自由阅读成绩更突出。” 提高词汇量，培养英语语感，找几本原版英文书来读读，或许是打开英语学习新大门的开始。毕竟， 学英语最有效的方式就是用 ，在我们学了学了那么多年英语之后又还给老师的原因多半是因为没有环境的带动，这时候就需要我们给自己创造这样一个环境了，那么读原版书就是最实用最高效的环境。然而，大多数人在拿到书之后没看两页就坚持不住了，于是乎当年立的flag很快就变成下一年的目标。因此，这阅读英文原著的第一步就显得格外重要了。首先需要关注就是选择与自己英文水平适合的书籍，也就是 选择文章难度比你现有的知识稍稍高一点的书籍 ，根据蓝思（Lexile）分级，出版物的难易程度划分从0L至2000L，因而在选书时选择高于自己阅读水平50L左右的书籍。当然这种分级方式只是作为一种参考，对于不同书籍的难度还有很多不同难度划分标准。 其次， 就是选择自己感兴趣或者擅长的领域内的书籍 ，毕竟，老话说得好“兴趣是最好的老师”嘛，同时，对自己自己所熟悉的领域在阅读过程过程会减少更多的阻碍，更有利于英文阅读。以下选取了英语入门级的阅读书目，根据蓝思指数（只做参考）难度由低到高，同时也摘取了书中部分片段以供参考。小王子 （The Little Prince ）蓝思指数：710L 内容介绍 《小王子》是法国作家安托万·德·圣·埃克苏佩里于1942年写成的著名儿童文学短篇小说。本书的主人公是来自外星球的小王子。书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者，讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的过程中，所经历的各种历险。 Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her…花总是表里不一，而我太年轻了，不知道该怎样爱护她…… For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower…她其实是不愿意让小王子看到自己哭泣。她曾经是多么高傲的一朵花…… My flower is ephemeral, and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left on my planet, all alone!我的花生命是短暂的，她只有四根刺可以保护自己，抵御世界，我却将她独自留在我的星球上了！哈利波特与魔法石 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 蓝思指数：760L内容介绍哈利波特系列真的是许多人的心头好啊，这个神奇的世界，不仅仅属于童年啊。 "What do you see when you look in the mirror?"

People will insist on giving me books."麦田里的守望者 （The catcher in the rye） 蓝思指数：790L内容介绍 主人公 是一个有理想的人，想做一个麦田守望者，看护儿童；想离家出走，远离尘嚣，过田园般的纯朴生活。但在现实生活中，他的理想却被一一击破。 You could go there a hundred thousand times, and that Eskimo would still be just finished catching those two fish, the birds would still be on their way south, the deers would still be drinking out of that water hole, with their pretty antlers and their pretty, skinny legs, and that squaw with the naked bosom would still be weaving that same blanket. Nobody’d be different. 杀死一只知更鸟 （To Kill a Mockingbird） 思指数：870内容介绍 一部爱与真知的成长经典。小说以一个六岁的叙事者斯库特的角度来叙述发生在周围的事情，斯库特的父亲阿蒂克斯是一个南方小镇上的一位律师，为被诬告的黑人劳工汤姆辩护，阿蒂克斯为了他内心坚守并教育孩子的正义和公平精神，由于深蒂固的种族歧视，镇上的人们都不理解甚至瞧不起阿蒂克斯，也导致无辜的汤姆最终被判有罪。 People in their right minds never take pride in their talents before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience. I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. 上文提到的电子书获取，请点击 英文原版电子书
