英语角杂志level1第九期

有个段子是这么说的：哇，这个美国小孩真厉害，小小年纪英语这么好。 虽然是个段子，但我也想较一下真：为什么美国小孩的英语好？因为他是英语母语者，在英语环境中长大。仅此而已？那如果没有英语环境，是不是就一定学不好英语呢？是。没有英语环境的学习者，就像离开了大海的乌龟（请允许我使用这种比喻），可以生存，但是不能和其他鱼类交流，自然没有办法学好一门语言。那要怎么做呢？简单，没有环境就培养环境呗。 语言环境分两种，第一种是口语环境，可以锻炼你的说、听、即时反应能力等等。如果你有外国朋友，或是可以参与到外语交流环境中去，比如各种酒吧和英语角等等（现在还有英语角这种东西存在吗？），或是直接去国外学习与工作，请不要错过这种机会。这是提高英语水平的最好方法。 第二种是书面环境，也就是阅读。你可以通过阅读英文报纸杂志书籍网站等等，练习自己的英文阅读理解与写作水平。这也是很多同学目前的主要英语学习手段。但是在中国，这种方法存在着一种普遍甚至严重的问题：教材不行。 而除了教科书那种用了十几年可能都没改进过的老掉牙的甚至是错误的内容，你们有多久，或者说有没有看过一本英文原著？ 是的，阅读英语原著是最好的学习方式之一。你可以从中得到第一手信息，在遇到不懂的部分时，也可以自己查字典，然后联系上下文，去融会贯通去理解，还能学习外国文化。就像你学中文一样，就像美国小孩学英文一样。 阅读英语原著是最好的学习方式之一。给大家推荐几部适合各种英语水平的英文原著。 推荐将以英语水平分段，同时会摘录书中的一部分英文原文。在不查词典的情况下，如果你可以理解其中 60% 的内容，那么这本书就是适合你的英文原著。Level 1 儿童读物 内容简单，词汇量 3,000 +代表书籍：《小王子》 部分内容摘录：He was surprised by this absence of reproaches. He stood there all bewildered, the glass globe held arrested in mid-air. He did not understand this quiet sweetness. 这一等级的内容比较童真，词汇量要求也比较低。同类的还有《绿野仙踪》等。 Level 2 青少年读物 内容比较简单，词汇量 5,000+代表书籍：《老人与海》 部分内容摘录：He was afraid that it might nauseate him and he would vomit and lose his strength. When his face was cleaned he washed his right hand in the water over the side and then let it stay in the salt water while he watched the first light come before the sunrise. 这一等级的词汇量与阅读难度相比上一级有所提升，但是程度不大，主要是内容方面更少年化，对塑造价值观基础有一定帮助，也能进一步拓宽想象力。同类书籍还有《哈利波特》系列、《饥饿游戏》系列、《麦田里的守望者》与《查理与巧克力工厂》等。Level 3 成人读物 词汇量 6,500 左右首推阿婆（阿加莎·克里斯蒂）的《无人生还》。 部分内容摘录：He had even complimented her on her presence of mind and courage, she remembered. For an inquest it couldn't have gone better. And Mrs. Hamilton had been kindness itself to her- Only Hugo(but she wouldn't think of Hugo!) 这一等级的词汇量与阅读难度较上一级有比较大的提升，而且内容的可读性也更高，文学性更强。同类书籍还有阿婆的《罗杰疑案》《ABC 谋杀案》与《东方列车谋杀案》等等。看完这一系列，不仅能够学好英语，也许还能懂得一些谋杀技巧（误 Level 4 成人+ 词汇量 7,000+ 首推《了不起的盖茨比》。 He stayed there two weeks, dismayed at its ferocious indifference to the drums of his destiny, to destiny itself, and despising the janitor's work with which he was to pay his way through. Then he drifted back to Lake Superior, and he was still searching for something to do on the day that Dan Cody's yacht dropped anchor in the shallows along shore.这个等级的词汇量与阅读难度相比上个等级的区分其实不是很强，非要说的话，就是日常阅读与可以应付考试的程度吧——如果可以无障碍阅读这系列书籍，雅思考试阅读 8.5 分以上没问题。 同类书籍还有《权力的游戏》与《理智与情感》。 以上就是本次的书籍推荐。你可以根据我们摘录的部分尝试阅读，在不借助词典的情况下，如果可以读懂 60%，那么这本书就是适合你的书——不会难到让你望而却步，也不会太简单以至没有学习的空间。 有些同学可能要问：要去哪里找这些书呢？很简单，只要你有一定的搜索能力，你可以很简单地搜到他们购买他们。 学会搜索，也是非常重要且必要的学习手段。
