⑵ 经典英文小说
推荐:
1. 英国Charles Dickens的A Tale of Two Cities《双城记》很不错!讲有关于革命的东西。适合男孩看。而且,一开头的那一段就很出名: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. 美国Bill Bryson的A Short History of Nearly Everything《万物简史》。一看题目就知道是关于自然科学的通俗读物。
3. 美国Emest Hemingway的The Old Man and the Sea《老人与海》。很经典。
⑶ 经典短篇小说阅读-毛姆
外刊毫无疑问是学英文的绝佳材料。但各种新闻层出不穷,五花八门的热点稍纵即逝,如果平时只看新闻(无论中文还是英文),整个人难免会变得越来越浮躁。
因此,阅读一些经典文学作品,和读者朋友们一起搭建一块安静的“小型避难所”。
长篇小说的篇幅往往比较长,基础不太好的同学不容易坚持,也很难享受到阅读的快感。于是我决定带大家从短小精悍的短篇小说读起。
第一部作品,我选择了毛姆先生的《患难之交》(A friend in Need)。毛姆是我最钟爱的作者之一,这也是一篇我很喜欢的小说,后劲很大,以至于在看完这篇小说后的好几年,我都经常想起它。
今天我就带大家一起读一读这篇小说。希望大家能找到一块完整的时间,安静地阅读下面这个故事。

就个人阅读经验而言,首先一定要读的是,The old and the sea,慢点差不多两三个小时搞定,会有酣畅淋漓的感觉。
然后,Harry Potter系列全都可以读,因为它是一本儿童读物,所以里面并没有太多的生僻词,遇到不会的先猜意思,实在影响理解的生僻词就拿手机、电子词典查一下咯。
看了几本之后,后面读起来就很轻松了。而且,在读英文小说的过程中,你的英文会不知不觉地提高!!!
ok,个人喜好写得比较细腻的小说。
The Kite Runner,追风筝的人
A Thousand Splendid Suns,作者同上,因为上面写得实在太好,于是找来看了,据说作者今年又出了新书
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn 布鲁克林有棵树,这本小说激励了不少人
Death on the Nile 尼罗河上的惨案,喜欢侦探小说的一定不能错过阿加莎,网上有她的全集下载
Life of Pi 少年派的奇幻漂流,值得一看
Memoirs of A Geisha 艺伎回忆录,墙裂推荐!!!
Steve Jobs 喜欢乔布斯的自然不能错过
The little Prince 小王子,当睡前故事看了
The sun also rises 太阳照常升起,海明威大作
