A. 看英語(純英文)名著需要注意些什麼,希望大家給予些指點,現在在讀《歐亨利短篇小說》
可以不要從古典小說讀起,要讀也找語言淺顯易懂的讀。比如說小王子,和老人與海一類語言相對朴實簡潔的。至於歐亨利。。。。其實蠻難的,我看過簡寫版的,再看未縮寫的,看完麥琪的禮物和那什麼小偷的,就再也看不下去了。。。。。。。對不起了,大師!
意見有兩點,一個小說最好讀非名著淺顯短篇小說,另一個選取全英文版本,不要雙語注釋。
其實現代短篇小說更貼近生活易懂,能提起閱讀的興趣。。。。這樣慢慢把閱讀能力提高以後再去讀名著或許更合適些。基本看多了也不要經常查詞典的。我就是讀現代短篇小說開始的,古典的直到現在也就看了幾本,實在是不能代入當時的情景(中文都沒看好多,何況英文)。。。。
列舉一下我看的較淺顯的英文小說吧。。。。。我有部分小說的電子書,有興趣來email。。。用戶號即qq號,發qq郵箱即可
只說我自己看過的吧。我也比較喜歡看現代英文小說多些。
《小公主》---說的是一個小孤兒的故事,兒童文學。語言還算簡單。我記憶中覺得有點長(可能是我第一個啃下的英文原著吧)。目前已改編成電影。(好像故事背景是近代的英國或法國)
《瓶中信》--有點老的純愛小說,相當有名,中篇小說。。。。。語言依然簡單,但是有人評論說語言很優美。內容不瓊瑤。中年離婚女人和喪妻男人的因為一個漂流瓶引發的愛情故事。有電影的~(ps:故事時間發生的是現代的美國)
《三十九級台階》--語言還算簡單,有一些生詞,中篇小說。以世界大戰為(忘記是一戰還是二戰了)背景的偵探小說。我認為對那段歷史不熟悉是我最主要的閱讀障礙。也電影化了。
《夏洛特的網》--語言很簡單的,因為是兒童讀物嘛,篇幅不長,大概算短篇小說。豬和蜘蛛的友情,不過貴在內容很好。依然給力的電影化了。
《動物農庄》--偏政治題材的一部小說,中短篇的長度。作者虛構了一個農庄動物起義以後開始共產主義的故事。因為小說題材的嚴肅性給作者帶來了很高的聲望。嗯,其實還蠻好看的。生詞不多。
《京華煙雲》--林語堂原著(英文版)長篇小說,我沒有看完的小說,看了一半,相當精彩呢。已電視劇化了。背景是中華大陸清末民國初的家族故事。有一定量生詞,書也很有點厚度,出場人物眾多。。。。。
《小王子》、《老人與海》--如雷貫耳的文,我也不能免俗了,推薦理由,文字清新朴實,表達的意義卻能那麼豐富,真讓人驚奇。
以上的一些是我覺得還可以的電子書格式的,網上隨便都能搜索到的。(京華煙雲的可能少點)
------------------------------------------------
實體書部分
偏愛讀實體書,但是好多已經出版的實體書都是經典小說,古典小說,我有那麼一點興趣缺缺阿。
《簡。薩默斯的日記》--書荒時看的一本書,哎,說的是孀居中年女性和孤獨的老女人的友誼。。。。。。。因為很多都是些心理描寫,╮(╯▽╰)╭,我興趣不大,中途放棄。。。。。。其實文字還是比較簡單優美的,主要是我興趣不大,也算是現代小說中比較有名的吧。
剩下的一些,我都是從圖書館搞到的現代小說,非名著,語言比較簡單,敘事性比較強,篇幅很短。分別有兩個系列我比較喜歡。
(1)南師——康乃馨英語文庫(據說是面向初中生的。。。。。。。我雷。。。。。面對這套書回想一下,我初中的詞彙量真小阿)
共7本書,相對都比較短,在50-200頁左右,全英文讀本無中文翻譯。
《寶嘉康蒂》、《愛犬尋覓記》、《父輩的土地》、《可樂和吻》、《情系澳洲》(我個人認為最好看的一本)、《淘金路上》、《穆爾提默的塗鴉》。
(2)外研社·劍橋英語原創讀物(好吧,總算有說是除了初中生也面向高中生,額,依然看得津津有味)
分級讀物。這套的書更多些。題材更現代一點,更廣泛,情節更精彩一點。有探險,偵探,愛情,科幻。高分級的讀物相對篇幅也比較長。可惜我這里的圖書館收錄的不全,目前我也只能看到大部分的小說而已。
冰凍的比薩、野獸傳說、洛根的選擇、阿姆斯特丹匪幫、叢林愛情故事、女督察洛根、永不離分、戰爭孤兒、出賣
-------------------------
另外實體書的話,有些出版社還出版了一些由老外縮寫的名著。其實還是有看頭的。篇幅也相對較短小,易讀。老外縮的更原汁原味(主要是個荷蘭人寫的),比書蟲的似乎更討我喜歡,呵呵
------------------------
最後還有看看漫畫,我喜歡看《丁丁歷險記》(The Adventure of Tintin)。主要是字很少,哈哈。有出系列動畫片。
另外,歐美的漫畫取材也很眾多,有一部漫畫《遠山的棄兒》(Freaks Of The Heartland),說了一個專出怪胎的村莊中兄弟倆的故事,故事很陰暗,倒也很溫情。很有點深度的。。。。。
如果喜歡日漫,可以上網看日漫英文版。。。。。。。喜歡歐美漫也可以上網搜歐美漫(像《英雄》、《超人》、《蝙蝠俠》、《蜘蛛俠》都可以找到的)
B. 歐亨利短篇小說 英文
O. Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings. He was called the American Guy De Maupassant. Both authors wrote twist endings, but O. Henry stories were much more playful and optimistic.
Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century. Many take place in New York City, and deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses. His stories are also well known for witty narration.
Fundamentally a proct of his time, O. Henry's work provides one of the best English examples of catching the entire flavor of an age. Whether roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the "gentle grafter", or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn-of-the-century New York, O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language. Some of his best and least-known work resides in the collection Cabbages and Kings, a series of stories which each explore some indivial aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period.
The Four Million (a collection of stories) opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen— census taker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million'". To O. Henry, everyone in New York counted. He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the-Subway,"[1] and many of his stories are set there—but others are set in small towns and in other cities.
"A Municipal Report" opens by quoting Frank Norris: "Fancy a novel about Chicago or Buffalo, let us say, or Nashville, Tennessee! There are just three big cities in the United States that are 'story cities'—New York, of course, New Orleans, and, best of the lot, San Francisco." Thumbing his nose at Norris, O. Henry sets the story in Nashville.
"The Gift of the Magi" concerns a young couple who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unbeknownst to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's watch; unbeknownst to Della, Jim sells his most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair. The essential premise of this story has been copied, re-worked, parodied, and otherwise re-told countless times in the century since it was written.
"The Ransom of Red Chief" concerns two men who kidnap a boy of ten. The boy turns out to be so bratty and obnoxious that the desperate men ultimately pay the boy's father two hundred and fifty dollars to take him back.
"The Cop and the Anthem" concerns a New York City hobo named Soapy, who sets out to get arrested so he can spend the cold winter as a guest of the city jail. Despite efforts at petty theft, vandalism, disorderly conct, and "mashing", Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police. Disconsolate, he pauses in front of a church, where an organ anthem inspires him to clean up his life—whereupon he is promptly arrested for loitering.
"A Retrieved Reformation" has safecracker Jimmy Valentine take a job in a small-town bank in order to case it for a planned robbery. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with the banker's daughter, and decides to go straight. Just as he's about to leave to deliver his specialized tools to an old associate, a lawman who recognizes him arrives at the bank, and a child locks herself in the airtight vault. Knowing it will seal his fate, Valentine cracks open the safe to rescue the child—and the lawman lets him go.
"Compliments of the Season" describes several characters' misadventures ring Christmas .
