如何選擇一本適合自己的英文讀物呢？

很多人都希望可以在輕松的氛圍下學(xué)習(xí)英語，比如看美劇或者閱讀英文原著。說到英文讀本，很多人想到的便是《飄》、《呼嘯山莊》這種英文名著。所以一提到讀原著，很多人都會(huì)擔(dān)心自己詞匯量不夠、語法不行看不懂等等。那么今天外教小編就來跟小伙伴們談一談如何選擇適合自己的英文讀本。

Many people want to learn English in a relaxed atmosphere, such as watching American TV series or reading English original works. When it comes to English readers, a lot of people think is "gone with the wind", "Wuthering Heights" this English masterpiece. So when it comes to reading the original, a lot of people will worry about their lack of vocabulary, grammar can not read, etc.. So today, foreign teachers came to talk with small partners to talk about how to choose their own English reader.

在說如何選讀本之前，我們先來談一下為什么要閱讀英文書籍。

：Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business.意思就是“讀書足以怡情，足以博彩，足以長才。其怡情也，最見于獨(dú)處幽居之時(shí)；其傅彩也，最見于高談闊論之中；其長才也，最見于處世判事之際。”當(dāng)然，有人可能會(huì)說自己的英文還不足以達(dá)到這個(gè)層次，但是英文是一種語言，而作為一門工具，它最不功利卻對(duì)一個(gè)人最大的作用便是如此。

Before we say how to choose a book, let's talk about why we read English books. On the face of it, the most direct benefit of reading English books is to help you to expand your vocabulary and improve English vocabulary. In a deeper sense, Bacon is in "on reading" which said the most classic sentence: Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. means "studies serve for delight, for ornament, only long enough. It is the most pleasing, in private and retiring; for ornament, is in the long talk with eloquence; that is, in the judgment and disposition of business." Of course, some people may say that their English is not enough to achieve this level, but the English language is a language, and as a tool, it is not the most utilitarian one of the biggest role is so.

那么我們究竟該如何選擇一本適合自己的英文讀物呢？首先，不要再去看豆瓣或者kindle排行前多少的英文書，這些書固然好看但不一定適合你。如果你是一個(gè)3000詞匯量都沒有的人抱著一本難度很大的英文原版閱讀，恐怕在一翻開發(fā)現(xiàn)那么多不認(rèn)識(shí)的詞，應(yīng)該會(huì)馬上想把這本書丟到一邊吧。

So how do we choose a suitable English reading? First of all, do not look at the number of watercress or Kindle before the number of English books, these books are good-looking but not necessarily for you. If you are a vocabulary of 3000 people who do not have a very difficult to read the original English, I am afraid that in a turn to find so many do not know the word, you should immediately want to put the book aside.

所以對(duì)于那些基礎(chǔ)薄弱且沒接觸過英文讀本的同學(xué)，可以先從一些初級(jí)讀物入手。在這里推薦牛津大學(xué)出版編輯的《牛津書蟲系列》。這個(gè)系列的書從初中到大學(xué)低年級(jí)分別都做了不同生詞量的分級(jí)，可以相應(yīng)地選擇書籍，在英語學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)中算是非常優(yōu)秀的讀物。比如最高級(jí)，生詞量在2300左右，一共有五本書，適合高三和大學(xué)低年級(jí)的學(xué)生；最低級(jí)是第一級(jí)，生詞量在300左右，適合初一初二的學(xué)生，一共有二十本書。而且基礎(chǔ)較差的小伙伴們可以盡量去選擇簡(jiǎn)短并且有插圖的書，這樣大大降低了難度，而且很多信息可以從書中的插畫里猜測(cè)推理出來。

So for those who are weak and not exposed to the English reading of the students, you can start with some primary reading. Recommended here at the University of Oxford publishing the "Oxford series" bookworm. This series of books from the junior high school to the lower grades have done different levels of new words, you can choose the corresponding book, in English learning is a very good book. For example, the most advanced, the amount of about 2300, a total of five books, suitable for high school and college students in lower grades; the lowest level is the first level, the amount of about 300, suitable for students of grade one and grade two, a total of twenty books. And the poor base of small partners can try to choose a short and illustrated book, which greatly reduces the difficulty, and a lot of information can be inferred from the illustrations in the book reasoning.

接下來，對(duì)于英語水平在中等程度的小伙伴，就可以靠興趣來選書學(xué)習(xí)英語了。因?yàn)樘幵谶@個(gè)程度的大多數(shù)都是為了提升自己的詞匯量或者是閱讀能力而看的英文書籍。而且可以選那些你看過的電影或者是中文版書籍所對(duì)應(yīng)的英文書。另外，也可以走進(jìn)書店或者是在網(wǎng)上上隨意翻閱一本書，試讀一兩頁，如果感到非常吸引自己，同時(shí)看懂的比例占到了七八成，那么就可以購買這本書細(xì)讀了。

Next, the English level in the middle of a small partner, you can rely on interest to choose the book to learn english. Because most of the people who are at this level are reading English books to improve their vocabulary and reading ability. And you can choose the movies you read or the Chinese version of the book corresponds to the English book. In addition, also can walk into a bookstore or read a book freely on the Internet, read one or two pages, if feel very attractive, and understand the proportion accounted for seven or eight, then you can buy this book to read.

最后，對(duì)于英語水平較高的小伙伴們，可以憑一個(gè)叫“藍(lán)思值”的東西來選擇輔助英語學(xué)習(xí)的書籍。藍(lán)思值是美國教育科研機(jī)構(gòu)研究出的一套衡量文章難易程度的科學(xué)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，是目前全美國最具有公信力的閱讀難度分級(jí)系統(tǒng)。藍(lán)思閱讀測(cè)評(píng)體系從讀物難度和讀者閱讀能力兩個(gè)方面進(jìn)行衡量，使用的是同一個(gè)度量標(biāo)尺，因此讀者可以根據(jù)自己的閱讀能力，輕松地選擇適合自己的讀物。藍(lán)思閱讀測(cè)評(píng)體系使用數(shù)字加字母“L”作為衡量難度的度量標(biāo)尺，難度范圍為0L至1700L，數(shù)字越小表示讀物難度越低或讀者閱讀能力越低，反之則表示讀物難度越高或讀者閱讀能力越高。

Finally, for the high level of English small partners, can be called a "blue thinking value" to choose something to help English learning books. Blue thinking value is a set of scientific standards to measure the degree of difficulty of the United States Institute of educational research, is the most popular in the u.s.. Lexile reading evaluation system to measure from two aspects of reading difficulty and reading ability, use a metric ruler, so that readers can according to their reading ability, easily choose suitable for their own books. Lexile reading evaluation system using digital with the letter "L" as a measure of the difficulty of measuring scale, difficulty is in the range of 0L to 1700L, the smaller the number of books that the lower the degree of difficulty or reading ability is low, it indicates a higher reading ability, reading difficulty or higher.

相信各位在看完外教小編的分享后都對(duì)如何選擇合適的英文讀物有了大概的思路了吧。利用英文原著來學(xué)習(xí)英語確實(shí)是一個(gè)非常好的學(xué)習(xí)方法，但是在選擇的時(shí)候一定注意不能盲目跟風(fēng)。

I believe that after reading the rest of the foreign teachers to share the book on how to choose the right English reading with a general idea of it. It is a very good learning method to learn English from the English original, but it must be paid attention to when you choose.
