⑵ 經典英文小說
推薦:
1. 英國Charles Dickens的A Tale of Two Cities《雙城記》很不錯!講有關於革命的東西。適合男孩看。而且,一開頭的那一段就很出名:It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of increlity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
2. 美國Bill Bryson的A Short History of Nearly Everything《萬物簡史》。一看題目就知道是關於自然科學的通俗讀物。
3. 美國Emest Hemingway的The Old Man and the Sea《老人與海》。很經典。
⑶ 經典短篇小說閱讀-毛姆
外刊毫無疑問是學英文的絕佳材料。但各種新聞層出不窮,五花八門的熱點稍縱即逝,如果平時只看新聞(無論中文還是英文),整個人難免會變得越來越浮躁。
因此,閱讀一些經典文學作品,和讀者朋友們一起搭建一塊安靜的「小型避難所」。
長篇小說的篇幅往往比較長,基礎不太好的同學不容易堅持,也很難享受到閱讀的快感。於是我決定帶大家從短小精悍的短篇小說讀起。
第一部作品,我選擇了毛姆先生的《患難之交》(A friend in Need)。毛姆是我最鍾愛的作者之一,這也是一篇我很喜歡的小說,後勁很大,以至於在看完這篇小說後的好幾年,我都經常想起它。
今天我就帶大家一起讀一讀這篇小說。希望大家能找到一塊完整的時間,安靜地閱讀下面這個故事。

就個人閱讀經驗而言,首先一定要讀的是,The old and the sea,慢點差不多兩三個小時搞定,會有酣暢淋漓的感覺。
然後,Harry Potter系列全都可以讀,因為它是一本兒童讀物,所以裡面並沒有太多的生僻詞,遇到不會的先猜意思,實在影響理解的生僻詞就拿手機、電子詞典查一下咯。
看了幾本之後,後面讀起來就很輕鬆了。而且,在讀英文小說的過程中,你的英文會不知不覺地提高!!!
ok,個人喜好寫得比較細膩的小說。
The Kite Runner,追風箏的人
A Thousand Splendid Suns,作者同上,因為上面寫得實在太好,於是找來看了,據說作者今年又出了新書
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn 布魯克林有棵樹,這本小說激勵了不少人
Death on the Nile 尼羅河上的慘案,喜歡偵探小說的一定不能錯過阿加莎,網上有她的全集下載
Life of Pi 少年派的奇幻漂流,值得一看
Memoirs of A Geisha 藝伎回憶錄,牆裂推薦!!!
Steve Jobs 喜歡喬布斯的自然不能錯過
The little Prince 小王子,當睡前故事看了
The sun also rises 太陽照常升起,海明威大作
