英文名著中级水平
经典英文名著有:
1、《傲慢与偏见》Pride and Prejudice
《傲慢与偏见》可以说是文学界的一块罗塞塔石碑,同时也是许多现代小说的灵感、基础和模板,所以你对其中的情节和人物可能比你自己想象中要熟悉。
2、《尤利西斯》Ulysses
《尤利西斯》在“意识流”这个概念出现之前就开始使用它了。同时,它也是一本相当错综复杂的小说,充满了隐喻、文字游戏、隐晦的玩笑、以及角色们欲说还休的个人沉思。
3、《杀死一只知更鸟》To Kill A Mockingbird
很少有一本小说能像《杀死一只知更鸟》一样50年多年保持经典。如果你想知道哈柏·李是如何做到的,那你就得读读这本书。而只需要7小时的阅读时间,你就能读完这本书了。
推荐书虫系列,都是外国名著里边还有中文注解,本人觉得《傲慢与偏见》不错很符合你的要求。
Pride and Prejudice Jane AustineStill one of the most popular romantic novels of all time, but it is also a wonderful and humorous description of 19th century manners, morals and society.Our heroine, Elizabeth Bennett, is a thoroughly modern girl, being clever and witty and not afraid to show it. Her family is relatively well off, but has five daughters and no sons � a real tragedy in those days � the book traces the way in which the girls set about acquiring husbands. Elizabeth meets the dashing but arrogant Mr. Darcy at a party, and takes an instant dislike to him when she thinks he has insulted her. How does their relationship end up? What do you think?The Picture of Dorian Gray Oscar WildeThis story is set in about 1890 in London. A handsome, talented but weak young man � Dorian Gray � is having his portrait painted. He wishes that he could always look as young and beautiful as he does in the painting. Somehow, his wish is granted. He grows older, and more unpleasant and selfish, but remains the same while his portrait � which he hides in his attic � gets older and uglier.Stylishly written by the brilliant Oscar Wilde, this is a parable for all of us. Never wish for what you want � you might just get it!The Great Gatsby F. Scott FitzgeraldA classic love story set in the Roaring 20s among the extremely rich New York set who spend their time at parties and the theatre and driving fast, beautiful cars.Jay Gatsby buys a huge estate among the wealthy socialites of Long Island. His wealth comes from somewhere mysterious and possible illegal, but he tries to buy his way into society by throwing huge, expensive parties. He falls in love with Daisy, an upper class girl who lives on a nearby estate.But Daisy does not return his love and tragedy beckons the unhappy Jay.The Invisible Man H.G.WellsH.G. Wells is often called the Father of science Fiction writers. War of The Worlds has just been made into a major film, and ¨The Invisible Man〃 has been filmed many times. The original book is not like a Hollywood movie, though, and takes a serious look at the consequences of the scientistˇs quest for knowledge. The scientist cannot reverse the effects of his invisibility potion, and the story describes the destructive effects of his powered and how it drives him insane.Brave New World Aldous HuxleyA look at the future in the 26th century in which everything seems to be fine. Humanity is carefree, healthy and technologically advanced. Warfare and poverty have been eliminated and all races are equal. The irony is, however, that all of these things have been achieved by eliminating many things � the family, art, religion, philosophy, and literature � generally considered to be essential to being human.As in ¨1984〃, the main characters are rebels against this rigid society in that they represent the quest for freedom of thought and choice.1984 George OrwellA highly influential and well-known book about the future (1984) as seen by the writer 50 years before.Winston Smith lives in 1984, when every poet of your life is regulated and overseen by a corrupt government that will allow no freedom of thought or expression. Rebels are punished by being taken to the infamous Room 101, where all are made to confront their greatest fears until they become obedient again.The ideas of ¨Big Brother is watching you!〃 and the State controlling every part of our lives come from here. This is more straightforward and therefore possibly easier to approach than the similarly themed ¨Brave New World〃.Brighton Rock Graham GreeneBritain in the 1940s. Pinky is a 17-year-old clever but psychopathic gangster in the seaside town of Brighton. The book follows his rise, and inevitable fall, and gives s a good picture of the criminal side of England just after the last war, when gangsterism became common as men came back from war with no chance of finding a job.Graham Greene is one of Englandˇs most renowned 20th century authors and this is one of his more approachable books. You could also try ¨This Gun for Hire〃, about an amoral assassin.The Old Man and the Sea Ernest HemingwayErnest Hemingway is not just a famous author, but was famous for the way he lived life to the full, beachcombing in Cuba, gunrunning in the Spanish Civil War, running with the bulls in Pamplona � any thing that he considered ¨manly〃.His style is deceptively simple and plain, making this a good choice if you are not too confident about your reading ability! However, the simply told story of the old fisherman who never gives up looking for the elusive big fish - despite everything being against him - has a message for all of us.Of Mice and Men John SteinbeckSteinbeck is a favourite American author because of the way he makes small-town and rural America and its people come alive on the page, through his wonderful descriptive skill and sympathy for his characters/.George and Lenny are two brothers who move around from farm to farm seeking work. George is not just an ordinary farm hand though � he has the soul of a poet even though he is uneducated, and sacrifices every hope of the future for his brother. Lenny is a large, amiable but slow giant with the mind of a child. Their touching relationship is the backbone of this haunting and poignant tale.To Kill a Mockingbird Harper LeeOne of Americaˇs best loved boos, this tells the story of an honest lawyer called Atticus Finch in a sleepy and backward town in the Deep South when racism and segregation divided the black and white people. This is where black people used to be kept as slaves. He is called upon to defend a black man accused of raping a white girl, and has to face all the prejudices of the townspeople.The tale is told through the voice of his young daughter, Rumer, making this quite simple to read in terms of vocabulary and structure.A Town Like Alice Neville ShuteThis has become a modern classic but is also a rattling good war story and romance. Set amongst the British and Australian male and female prisoners of war in Malaysia, it follows the unlikely romance between two of them as they are marched from camp to camp in that tropical country.The title refers to Alice Springs, a town in central Australia, which is the manˇs hometown, and where some of the story takes place after the end of the war.Neville Shute writing is clear and easy to follow, and this is a very entertaining book.Catcher in the Rye J.D. SalingerThe story of a young man in the 1950s, Holden Caulfield, who is a 17-year-old student suddenly expelled from school. The story relates his lonely, life-changing, two-day stay in New York as he attempts to deal with the death of his younger brother and his fear of change as he leaves childhood behind. It is told from his point of view so it is easy tio identify with him and his problems.Possibly the most well-known ¨rites of passage〃 (this means ¨growing up〃, in other words) book ever written. Salinger truly captures what it is to be a confused teenager not yet ready to be thrown into the adult world.Catch-22 Joseph HellerHave you ever heard of this phrase? It means, ¨to be given an impossible choice or put in an impossible position〃 and was invented in this book set in and around an American air � base in WW II.The pilots know they have little chance of surviving the war as the planes keep being shot down by the Japanese, but if they try to get reassigned on the grounds of being mad � which is the only way you can get out of flying - they are told they are obviously sane enough to fly since they donˇt want to do it � and back they go. Catch-22.This is a semi-comic anti-war book with a serious centre � but still fun to read. But you wonˇt be laughing when you find out why Snowden is so cold (on ongoing scene in the book).Lord of the Flies William GoldingA deceptively easy read, this is in fact an allegory, or a symbolic story, in which the lost boys represent humanity, and how easily mankind would turn into lawless animals if civilization suddenly disappearedRalph, Piggy and Jack are three of the group of boys who find themselves on a desert island with no adults after a plane crash. There is plenty of fruit to eat and fresh water to drink, but over time the differences between the boys start to show, and Jack becomes arrogant and obsessed with his own power. The boys become more and more savage under his leadership. He represents the dictator and bully. Ralph is the voice of reason who finds that in the end reason is not enough. And Piggy - poor, fat, shortsighted, clever Piggy � represents the outsider or intellectual that every dictator will always try and crush or kill.
小学生吗?最好还是看下掌握单词的数量,个人推荐书虫一系列的书可以根据自身情况来选择可以读懂的书
高中英语水平读什么英文名著
高中生想要提升英语能力需要去记忆大量的单词,这些单词并不只是指书中单词,还包括课外的一写单词,那么这时高中高中生不妨阅读一些英语名著,在阅读名著的过程中,我们除了可以增加单词的积累以外,还会记忆跟多的名言。对于我们的写作也很有帮助,那么适合高中生阅读的英语名著有什么?我对此整理了一部分,各位同学可以作为参考。
简介:总是希望和周围的朋友攀比,这是人类的一大弱点。如果他们有钱,我们也希望有钱。如果他们很穷,那么我们也不在乎同样受穷。我们不会因为自己的愚蠢而羞愧,我们只会因为比周围的朋友更蠢才感到羞愧。这就是“人比人”的问题。其实这里还有“往前看”的问题。我们无所谓错过什么,假如从未期待拥有。我们也不会因为贫穷而失望,既然我们不曾指望富有。匹普又穷又没受过什么教育,但好在他的朋友们也都一样。对他们来说,这并没有什么;这就是生活的本来面目。然而,一旦匹普得知他有“远大前程”,他开始不再安分了。他羞于与自己的伙伴们为伍,他甚至还自惭形秽。他的“前程”显然有摧毁他的生活的“危险”。
简介:简·爱背负着自然与社会给她的一切不幸,开始了她的人生:她没有双亲,没有钱财,她是(男人世界中的)一个弱女子;雪上加霜的是,她不漂亮。她有着坚强的个性,这使她在世人眼里更加失去了魅力,因为她不会对别人逆来顺受。她不像是世上伟大爱情故事中的女主角,然而她却有着相当于此的举动。世人看到的是她的种种劣势,告诉她对生活不要有太多奢望。然而简·爱不听这一套,她拒绝接受世人给予她的卑微地位。她要求世人接受她的本来面目:她可能微不足道,但却是自己命运的主宰;她也许不漂亮,却值得他人爱。
简介:《变形记》共分成三部分:第一部分,推销员格里高尔某天早上醒来后变成了甲虫,这一变故对其本人和家庭却产生了很大的影响。 格里高尔彷徨惊慌,忧郁无助。而此时并未得到帮助的他被激怒的父亲大怒赶回自己的卧室;第二部分,变成甲虫的格里高尔,在生活习惯上已然成为甲虫,但是仍然具有人类的意识。虽已失业的他,仍旧关心父亲的债务问题,怎么样送妹妹去音乐学院,关心家里的各种琐事。数日之后,全家人都将格里高尔视为累赘。父亲、母亲、妹妹对他以往的态度转变成了厌恶,嫌弃;第三部分,为了能够继续生存,除了格里高尔全家人只能打工挣钱,对变为甲虫的格里高尔忍无可忍。妹妹提出将自己的亲哥哥赶出家门。格里高尔在亲情冷漠的情况下饥寒交迫,并且患病在身,但仍心系家人,然后他的头就不由自主地垂倒在地板上,鼻孔呼出了最后一丝气息,带着满腹的担忧和内疚看着家庭的不幸,而更不幸的是他终遭社会和家庭的唾弃,在无声无息中死去。
简介:“家产万贯而又尚未婚配的男人一定需要一位贤内助,这是一条世界上尽人皆知的真理。”因此,当这样一位男人搬到班纳特家附近时,班纳特太太喜出望外。她马上感到,彬格莱先生很可能——几乎肯定——会成为五个女儿当中哪一个的丈夫。“人们都说他很年轻,很英俊,特别招人喜欢!”愚蠢的丽迪亚说。她是班纳特姐妹中年龄最小的。“还有更棒的呢,他喜欢跳舞!谁都知道,爱跳舞就意味着他很可能爱上谁!”可是,爱上谁呢?不久,伊丽莎白·班纳特就确信他对大姐简情有独钟。毫无疑问,他们一有见面机会,他便对她大献殷勤。可是,有谁敢说钟情的结果就一定是婚姻、乃至幸福呢?不过,对班纳特家姐妹有意的并非彬格莱先生一人。还有她们的表兄、令人厌倦的柯林斯先生。还有兵团的军官们——比如韦翰先生。当然,还有彬格莱先生的朋友达西先生——他身材魁梧、皮肤黝黑、家财万贯,可是却非常无礼、傲慢、难以相处……
适合高中阅读的英文名著—The Great Gatsby《了不起的盖茨比》作者francis scott fitzgerald;FScottFitzgerald
简介:尼克从中西部故乡来到纽约,在他住所旁边正是本书主人公盖茨比的豪华宅第。这里每晚都在举行盛大的宴会。尼克和盖茨比相识,故事就这样开始了。 尼克对盖茨比充满探究的兴趣。探究的结果是:尼克了解到盖茨比内心深处有一段不了之情。年轻时的盖茨比并不富有,他是一个少校军官。他爱上了一位叫黛茜的姑娘,黛茜对他也情有所钟。后来第一次世界大战爆发,盖茨比被调往欧洲。似是偶然却也是必然,黛茜因此和他分手,转而与一个出身于富豪家庭的纨绔子弟汤姆结了婚。黛茜婚后的生活并不幸福,因为汤姆另有。物欲的满足并不能填补黛茜精神上的空虚。盖茨比痛苦万分,他坚信是金钱让黛茜背叛了心灵的贞洁,于是立志要成为富翁。几年以后,盖茨比终于成功了。他在黛茜府邸的对面建造起了一幢大厦。盖茨比挥金如土,彻夜笙箫,一心想引起黛茜的注意,以挽回失去的爱情。尼克为盖茨比的痴情所感动,便去拜访久不联系的远房表妹黛茜,并向 她转达盖茨比的心意。黛茜在与盖茨比相会中时时有意挑逗。盖茨比昏昏然听她随意摆布,并且天真地以为那段不了情有了如愿的结局。然而真正的悲剧却在此时悄悄启幕。黛茜早已不是旧日的黛茜。黛茜不过将她俩的暖昧关系,当做一种刺激。尼克终于有所察觉,但为时已晚。一次黛茜在心绪烦乱的状态下开车,偏偏轧死了丈夫的。盖茨比为保护黛茜,承担了开车责任,但黛茜已打定主意抛弃盖茨比。在汤姆的挑拨下,致使其的丈夫开枪打死了盖茨比。盖茨比最终彻底成为了牺牲品。盖茨比至死都没有发现黛茜脸上嘲弄的微笑。盖茨比的悲剧在于他把一切都献给了自己编织的美丽梦想,而黛茜作为他理想的化身,却只徒有美丽的躯壳。尽管黛茜早已移情别恋,尽管他清楚地听出“她的声音充满了金钱”,却仍不改初衷,固执地追求重温旧梦。人们在为盖茨比举行葬礼,黛茜和她丈夫此时却早已在欧洲旅行的路上。不了情终于有了了结。尼克目睹了人类现实的虚情寡义,深感厌恶,于是怀着一种悲剧的心情,远离喧嚣、冷漠、空洞、虚假的大都市,黯然回到故乡。

这是我这么长时间总结的英文原版小说不错的。开始读些思想主题较多的小说,这些小说最好情节也比较精彩。 比如: 《战争与回忆》《战争风云》, 《幼师》, 《艾凡赫》,《孤心血泪》(狄更斯),《匹克威克外传》(狄), 《百年孤独》,《呼啸山庄》等等。 这里特别推荐小说《堂吉柯德》和《飘》及《蝇王》。 中高级读者: 所读小说的思想性加深, 情节相对弱化。 比如: 《简·爱》, 《傲慢与偏见》,《德伯家的苔丝》,《远离尘嚣》,《战争与和平》,《交际花盛衰记》,《小酒店》,《嘉利妹妹》,《丧钟为谁而鸣》,《麦田里的守望者》,《审判》等等。 特别推荐小说《名利场》希望能采纳我的意见,如有疑问还可继续追问,祝您生活愉快。谢谢~~

Chinese Literature - Novels and fictionHongloumeng 红楼梦"The Dream of the Red Chamber"Also called "The story of the Stone (Shitouji 石头记)", this novel written by Cao Xueqin 曹雪芹 (d. 1763) is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Chinese fiction. A wide branched scholarship does not consent about the main theme of this novel, should it be a novel of sentiment, of Daoist-Buddhist enlightenment, of social observation, of the decay of an aristocratic familiy, or even a veiled attack on Manchu rule. The frame of the novel is the contest of a Buddhist and a Daoist priest who make be born a young noble boy called Jia Baoyu 贾宝玉 and his girl cousin Lin Daiyu 林黛玉. With a loving detail describing the life of the two cousins in a huge noble mansion, between gardens and palaces, the red thread is the triangular love between Baoyu, Daiyu and a second girl cousin called Xue Baochai 薛宝钗 that is of more plumper character than the ever sick Daiyu. Switching between their life, the divine world and dreams, Baoyu becomes deranged after the disappearance of a stone (the origin of the second title) he had in his mouth when he was born. Not knowing, his love Daiyu died, he is tricked to marrying Baochai. Becoming aware of being tricked, Baoyu leaves the world of the "red dust" and becomes a monk. With hundreds of persons and their stories, paralleling the life and feelings of servants to the life of the main persons, the story is very complex and full of symbolisms, but very interesting and convincing for its encyclopedic character, depicting the life of a noble familiy in the 18th century Qing China 清. 三国演义Romance of The Three KingdomsRomance of The Three Kingdoms is one of the great chinese classics and is compiled into a semi-fictional literary masterpiece during the Ming Dynasty by Luo Guanzhong. The novel comprises around 70+% fact and 20+% fiction. Some issues such as Guan Yu's weapon weighing around 40+ kilograms, the capabilties of Lu Bu, Liu Bei's horses as well as the existence of the Hill of the Fallen Phoenix and some others are probably fictional. That period in history can be said as the golden age of chivalry and although it happened more than 1700 years ago, characters such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang have become household names among the chinese. Tales of their exploits, courage, adventures and many more are told in the novel "Romance of The Three Kingdoms". It is one of the most turbulent periods in China's history taking place toward the end of the Han Dynasty where corruption is rampant in the imperial court due to eunuches holding power. Coupled with natural disasters such as floods, plague and locust swarms devouring the crops grown by the peasants, hunger and disatisfaction among the peasants soon escalated rapidly until a major rebellion known as the "Yellow Scarves Rebellion" led by Zhang Jiao broke out. (It was dubbed "Yellow Scarves" because the rebels tied a yellow scarf on their head). Initially just a small band of rebels, due to widespread hunger and ill-sentiment among the populace, swarms of common folks joined in the rebellion across many parts of the country. 三国演义人物介绍刘备 Liu Bei (161–223 AD), styled Xuándé (玄徳), was a general, warlord, and later the founding emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of China. Although having a later start than his rivals, also lacking both the material resources and social status they commanded, Liu Bei overcame his many defeats to carve out his own realm, that at its peak spanned modern day Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, part of Hubei, and part of Gansu. Culturally, due to the tremendously popular novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, Liu Bei is widely known as the ideal benevolent, humane ruler who cared for his people and picked good advisors. His character was to advocate the Confucian set of moral values, such as loyalty and compassion. 张飞 Zhang Fei (?-221 AD) was a military general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of China. Zhang Fei was shown to have been a masterful general rather than simply a warrior. He treated his superiors with respect, but had little respect for his underlings. He was often warned by Liu Bei that his habit of over-punishing his own soldiers by lashing and killing would eventually bring himself disaster. Zhang Fei married Xiahou Yuan's daughter, who was captured by Zhang Fei's troops as she was out gathering firewood. They had a total of two daughters, and the older daughter became the empress of Shu Han after marrying Liu Shan, with Zhuge Liang as the matchmaker. After Zhang Fei's eldest daughter had passed away due to natural causes, Zhuge Liang once again played the role of matchmaker, and Liu Shan married Zhang Fei's younger daughter, who thus succeeded her older sister to become the empress of Shu Han. Zhang Fei is best portrayed through his description and actions depicted in Records of Three Kingdoms biography by Chen Shou. Some claim that Zhang Fei was also an excellent painter. Zhang Fei was killed by his own men Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, while preparing his troops to attack the rival Eastern Wu to avenge the death of Guan Yu. Zhang Da and Fan Jiang went on to defect to Wu.水浒传Outlaws of the MarshThe novel "Outlaws of the Marsh" is somewhat like the Iliad and Odyssey... An ancient epic tale... no one remembers the period it was composed and immortalized.One knows this story is based on real facts and has inspired many storytellers.One knows the North Song Dynasty (XIIIth Century) lived its apogee and declined, a victim of corruption and decadence.One finds historical traces of these outlaws who challenged the imperial authority and died under the executioner's blade.At last, as anyone knows today that a man called Homer wrote the Iliad and Odyssey, no one doubts anymore that a man called Shi Nai-an wrote down during the XIVth century the novel Outlaws of the Marsh that reached us.Everyone recognizes that Jin Sheng-tan, during the XVIIth century, published what is now famous as the original version of a novel that obtained the interest and infatuation of successive generations. Water Margin or Outlaws of the Marsh ("All men are brothers" in Pearl Buck's translation, "Shui hu zhuan" in Chinese, "Au Bord de l'Eau" in French ) is an immortal novel because its tale is universal : it speaks of beings (outlaws but also notables, strong muscled heroes but also intellectual, anarchists but also philosophers...) who cannot bear injustice nor abuse nor arbitrariness...That is the reason they are immortal and their popularity has lasted for centuries .Discover the 108 heroes, the episodes , the paper-cuts representing them, the Beijing operas their fighting exploits inspired...人物Gai Ping Health gave special love make the world anyway, famous arena. Like charges to stick, chicken, and did not take wives, all hit others physique. Village Creek Village haunted legends, villagers digging a river in the town engraved art, ghost was rushed to the East seven. Classical hell, then alone will be engraved Creek Village in places away from the East side down. Thus so-called "Tota kings". 晁盖平 生仗义疏财,专爱结交天下好汉,闻名江湖。喜欢刺枪使棒,身强力壮,不取妻室,终日打熬筋骨。传说邻村西溪村闹鬼,村人凿了一个青石宝塔镇在溪边,鬼就被赶到了东溪村。晁盖大怒,就去西溪村独自将青石宝塔夺了过来在东溪边放下。因此人称“托塔天王”。西游记Pilgrimage to the WestJourney to the West is a mythological novel based on many centuries of popular tradition. It was probably put into its present form in the 15708 by Wu Cheng’en (1500-82). This lively fantasy relates the amazing adventures of the priest San-zang as he travels west in search of Buddhist sutras with his three disciples, the irreverent and capable on-key, greedy Pig, and Friar Sand. The opening chapters recount the earlier exploits of Monkey, culminating in his rebellion against Heaven. We then learn how Sanzang became a monk and was sent on his pilgrimage by the Tang emperor who had escaped death with the help of an Underworld official. The main story, the journey, takes the priest through all kinds of entertaining trials and tribulations, mainly at the hands of monsters and spirits who want to eat him. Only the courage and powers of his disciples, especially Monkey, save him from death. Monkey is the hero of the fantasy, and the reader will soon learn why he has long been so loved in China. Will the pilgrims reach the Vulture Peak and obtain the Scriptures? The answer will only be found at the end of the lOO-chapter novel. The story is as full of imagination as Monkey is of magic, and packed with incident and down-to-earth humour. The illustrations are from 19th-century Chinese edition. This is the first of the three volumes of the novel
