如何选择一本适合自己的英文读物呢？
很多人都希望可以在轻松的氛围下学习英语，比如看美剧或者阅读英文原著。说到英文读本，很多人想到的便是《飘》、《呼啸山庄》这种英文名著。所以一提到读原著，很多人都会担心自己词汇量不够、语法不行看不懂等等。那么今天外教小编就来跟小伙伴们谈一谈如何选择适合自己的英文读本。
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.
在说如何选读本之前，我们先来谈一下为什么要阅读英文书籍。
：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“读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。”当然，有人可能会说自己的英文还不足以达到这个层次，但是英文是一种语言，而作为一门工具，它最不功利却对一个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.
那么我们究竟该如何选择一本适合自己的英文读物呢？首先，不要再去看豆瓣或者kindle排行前多少的英文书，这些书固然好看但不一定适合你。如果你是一个3000词汇量都没有的人抱着一本难度很大的英文原版阅读，恐怕在一翻开发现那么多不认识的词，应该会马上想把这本书丢到一边吧。
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.
所以对于那些基础薄弱且没接触过英文读本的同学，可以先从一些初级读物入手。在这里推荐牛津大学出版编辑的《牛津书虫系列》。这个系列的书从初中到大学低年级分别都做了不同生词量的分级，可以相应地选择书籍，在英语学习当中算是非常优秀的读物。比如最高级，生词量在2300左右，一共有五本书，适合高三和大学低年级的学生；最低级是第一级，生词量在300左右，适合初一初二的学生，一共有二十本书。而且基础较差的小伙伴们可以尽量去选择简短并且有插图的书，这样大大降低了难度，而且很多信息可以从书中的插画里猜测推理出来。
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.
接下来，对于英语水平在中等程度的小伙伴，就可以靠兴趣来选书学习英语了。因为处在这个程度的大多数都是为了提升自己的词汇量或者是阅读能力而看的英文书籍。而且可以选那些你看过的电影或者是中文版书籍所对应的英文书。另外，也可以走进书店或者是在网上上随意翻阅一本书，试读一两页，如果感到非常吸引自己，同时看懂的比例占到了七八成，那么就可以购买这本书细读了。
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，对于英语水平较高的小伙伴们，可以凭一个叫“蓝思值”的东西来选择辅助英语学习的书籍。蓝思值是美国教育科研机构研究出的一套衡量文章难易程度的科学标准，是目前全美国最具有公信力的阅读难度分级系统。蓝思阅读测评体系从读物难度和读者阅读能力两个方面进行衡量，使用的是同一个度量标尺，因此读者可以根据自己的阅读能力，轻松地选择适合自己的读物。蓝思阅读测评体系使用数字加字母“L”作为衡量难度的度量标尺，难度范围为0L至1700L，数字越小表示读物难度越低或读者阅读能力越低，反之则表示读物难度越高或读者阅读能力越高。
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编的分享后都对如何选择合适的英文读物有了大概的思路了吧。利用英文原著来学习英语确实是一个非常好的学习方法，但是在选择的时候一定注意不能盲目跟风。
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.
