字数的多少，是区别长篇、中篇、短篇小说的一个因素，但不是惟一的因素。人们通常把几千字到两万字的小说称为短篇小说，三万字到十万字的小说称为中篇小说，十万字以上的称为长篇小说。这只是就字数而言的，其实，长、中、短篇小说的区别，主要是由作品反映生活的范围、作品的容量来决定的。长篇小说容量最大，最广阔，篇幅也比较长，具有比较复杂的结构，它一般是通过比较多的人物和纷繁的事件来表现社会生活的，如《红楼梦》。中篇小说反映生活的范围虽不像长篇那样广阔，但也能反映出一定广度的生活面，它的人物的多寡、情节的繁简介于长篇与短篇之间，如《人到中年》。短篇小说的特点是紧凑、短小精悍，它往往只写了一个或很少几个人物，描写了生活的一个片断或插曲。短篇小说所反映的生活虽不及长篇、中篇广阔，但也同样是完整的，有些还具有深刻、丰富的社会意义。

It was the day before Easter and Peter Cottontail was very busy.As the Chief Easter Bunny,it was his job to hide all the eggs for all the Easter egg hunts around the world.

时间是复活节之前，皮特很忙。作为主要的复活节兔子，他的工作是将所有的为全世界复活节狩猎所需要的蛋藏起来。

Peter wanted to be sure that he had enough of the beautifully colored eggs for everyone.So he was counting them all.But he kept getting distracted and losing count.

皮特想确定他有充足的为复活节而准备的美丽的彩蛋。所以他正在把它们都数一数。但是他一直分神而忘了数的数字。

First,Peter thought he heard the meow of one little kitten.But he didn't see a kitten.Next he thought he heard two meows from two kittens,but he still didn't see anything.

Then Peter thought he heard three meows from three little kittens.

"Maybe they're outside,"thought Peter.So,he opened the door and sure engough...

开始，皮特想他听到了一只小猫的叫声。但是他看不见一只小猫。接着他想他听到了两只小猫的声音，但是他依然什么都看不见。

然后皮特想他看见了三只小猫的声音。

“也许他们在外面，”皮特想。所以他打开门来看个清楚...

There sat three unhappy,little kittens.Peter asked them what was wrong.

"We were playing hide-and-seek with our mitten*,"**plained the kittens."We are very good at hiding,but we are not very good at seeking.And now our mittens are lost."

"If you help me count my eggs,then I can help you find your mittens,"Peter told them.

The three little kittens were so happy that they began to dance and sing.

那里坐着三只不愉快的小猫。皮特问他们有什么麻烦。

“我们用我们的拳击手套玩了‘藏了找’的游戏，”小猫们解释。“我们擅长藏，但是我们不擅长找。现在我们的拳击手套找不到了。”

“假如你们帮助我数我的蛋，然后我就能够帮助你们找到你们的拳击手套，”皮特告诉他们。

那三只小猫如此地高兴以致他们又跳舞又唱歌。

Everyone went into the house and,one-two-three,they counted all the eggs.There were enough eggs for everyone and even three too many.

"Great!"said Peter."It's good to have extra eggs,just in case any break.Now let's find your mittens."

Off went Peter Cottontail and the three little kittens,with Peter Cottontail hopping big-bunny hops and the kittens racing along to keep up.

每个人都进入屋子，一、二、三，他们数了所有的蛋。为每个人准备的蛋是充足的，甚至还多出了三个。

“太好了！”皮特说。“有多余的蛋很好，恰好预防破蛋的情况。现在让我们来找你的拳击手套。”

皮特和三只小猫走出去，皮特跳着大兔步，而三只小猫则跑在后面跟着他。

First,they passed a house made of straw-but no one was there.

Next they passed a house made of sticks.No one was home there either.

Finally,they came to a very nice house made of bricks.

Peter and the three kittens knocked on the door of the pretty brick brick.Soon,three little pigs came out to meet them.

"Welcome!Welcome!"said the three little pigs."We are so glad to have visitors.The Big Bad Wolf chased all our friends away and no one visit us anymore.Won't you come in for a while?"

首先，他们经过了一个由稻草制成的房子，但是每人在家。

接着他们来到一个有树枝做成的房子，也没人在家。

最后他们来到一个由砖头制成的房子。

皮特和三只小猫敲打那个精美的小屋的门。不久，三只小猪出来迎接他们。

“欢迎！欢迎！”三只小猪说。“我们很高兴有人来拜访我们。大坏狼赶走了我们的所有的朋友，再也没人来拜访我们了。你们不进来呆一会吗？”

Peter and the kitten* **plained that they were looking for the kittens' lost mittens.This made the kittens so sad that they began to cry.

"Don't cry,little kittens,"said the three pigs."We haven't see any mittens,but you are welcome to look around."

So everyone looked,but they didn't find the kitten's mittens.

皮特和三个小猫解释他们在寻找小猫丢失的拳击手套。这件事让小猫们哭了起来。

“不要哭，小猫，”三只小猪说，“我们没有看见什么拳击手套。但是欢迎你们在附近找找。”

所以每个人一起看了看，但是他们没有发现小猫的拳击手套。

"You should ask Humpty Dumpty,"suggested the three little pigs."He sits so high up on his wall that he sees everything.Maybe he has seen your mittens."

Peter and the three kittens thanked the pigs and said good-bye.Then off they went.

“你们应该问问汉仆.达谱，”三只小猪建议。“他坐在他家的很高的墙上让他能看见每件事情。也许他看见了你们的拳击手套。”

Before long,they came to a very high wall with a strange,little man sitting on top.

"Excuse me,"said Peter Cottontail,"Are you Humpty Dumpty?"

"Yes,I am,"said the man,"How can I help you?"

不久，他们来到一堵非常高的墙面前，一个陌生的，很小的人坐在墙上。

“对不起，”皮特说，“你是汉仆.达谱吗？”

“是的，”那个人说，“我能帮助你们吗？”

Once again,the three little kitten* **plained how they lost their mittens.And they became so sad that again they began to cry.

"Do not cry,little kittens,"said Humpty Dumpty."This morning I saw three little kittens hide their mittens in the tall grass next to the Babbling Brook."

The three litten kittens began to dance and sing.

"Now we remember!Thank you,thank you!"they cheered.

三只小猫把怎么丢失拳击手套的事又解释了一遍。他们如此地伤心以致他们哭了。

“不要哭，小猫，”汉仆.达谱说，“今天早上我看见三只小猫在胡说河边的高草中藏他们的拳击手套。”

三只小猫开始又跳又唱。

“现在我们记得了！谢谢你，谢谢你！”他们欢呼。

Peter was very happy to have helped the kittens.But suddenly he remembered about Easter.

"Oh no!"he cried."It is almost Easter and I haven't hidden any eggs yet!What will I do?"

皮特很高兴帮助了小猫。但是突然他记得了复活节。

“哦，不！”他喊，“几乎到了复活节了，我还没有将蛋藏好呢！我该怎么办呢？”

"Don't worry."said the three little kittens."You have seen that we are good at hiding things.We will help you hide the eggs."

Peter accepted their help and off everyone rushed,with Peter hopping big-bunny hops and the kittens racing along to keep up.

“不要害怕。”三只小猫说。“你看见了我们擅长藏东西。我们将帮助你来藏蛋。”

皮特接受了他们的帮助，每个人跑起来，皮特跳着大兔步，小猫们在后面奔跑着追赶。

By Easter morning,everything was finished.Best of all,none of the eggs had broken.So Peter gave the three extra eggs to the three little kittens as thanks for all their help.

到了复活节早上，每件事都完成了。最好的是，没有一个蛋被弄破。所以皮特将三个多余的蛋送给了三只小猫作为对他们的帮助的感谢。

LADY SUSAN VERNON TO MR. VERNON

Langford, Dec.

MY DEAR BROTHER,--I can no longer refuse myself the pleasure of

profiting by your kind invitation when we last parted of spending some

weeks with you at Churchhill, and, therefore, if quite convenient to you

and Mrs. Vernon to receive me at present, I shall hope within a few days to

be introduced to a sister whom I have so long desired to be acquainted

with. My kind friends here are most affectionately urgent with me to

prolong my stay, but their hospitable and cheerful dispositions lead them

too much into society for my present situation and state of mind; and I

impatiently look forward to the hour when I shall be admitted into Your

delightful retirement.

I long to be made known to your dear little children, in whose hearts I

shall be very eager to secure an interest I shall soon have need for all my

fortitude, as I am on the point of separation from my own daughter. The

long illness of her dear father prevented my paying her that attention

which duty and affection equally dictated, and I have too much reason to

fear that the governess to whose care I consigned her was unequal to the

charge. I have therefore resolved on placing her at one of the best

private schools in town, where I shall have an opportunity of leaving her

myself in my way to you. I am determined, you see, not to be denied

admittance at Churchhill. It would indeed give me most painful sensations

to know that it were not in your power to receive me.

Your most obliged and affectionate sister,

S. VERNON.

LADY SUSAN VERNON TO MRS. JOHNSON

Langford.

You were mistaken, my dear Alicia, in supposing me fixed at this place

for the rest of the winter: it grieves me to say how greatly you were

mistaken, for I have seldom spent three months more agreeably than those

which have just flown away. At present, nothing goes smoothly; the females

of the family are united against me. You foretold how it would be when I

first came to Langford, and Mainwaring is so uncommonly pleasing that I was

not without apprehensions for myself. I remember saying to myself, as I

drove to the house, "I like this man, pray Heaven no harm come of it!" But

I was determined to be discreet, to bear in mind my being only four months

a widow, and to be as quiet as possible: and I have been so, my dear

creature; I have admitted no one's attentions but Mainwaring's. I have

avoided all general flirtation whatever; I have distinguished no creature

besides, of all the numbers resorting hither, except Sir James Martin, on

whom I bestowed a little notice, in order to detach him from Miss

Mainwaring; but, if the world could know my motive THERE they would honour

me. I have been called an unkind mother, but it was the sacred impulse of

maternal affection, it was the advantage of my daughter that led me on; and

if that daughter were not the greatest simpleton on earth, I might have

been rewarded for my exertions as I ought.

Sir James did make proposals to me for Frederica; but Frederica, who was

born to be the torment of my life, chose to set herself so violently

against the match that I thought it better to lay aside the scheme for the

present. I have more than once repented that I did not marry him myself;

and were he but one degree less contemptibly weak I certainly should: but I

must own myself rather romantic in that respect, and that riches only will

not satisfy me. The event of all this is very provoking: Sir James is gone,

Maria highly incensed, and Mrs. Mainwaring insupportably jealous; so

jealous, in short, and so enraged against me, that, in the fury of her

temper, I should not be surprized at her appealing to her guardian, if she

had the liberty of addressing him: but there your husband stands my friend;

and the kindest, most amiable action of his life was his throwing her off

for ever on her marriage. Keep up his resentment, therefore, I charge you.

We are now in a sad state; no house was ever more altered; the whole party

are at war, and Mainwaring scarcely dares speak to me. It is time for me to

be gone; I have therefore determined on leaving them, and shall spend, I

hope, a comfortable day with you in town within this week. If I am as

little in favour with Mr. Johnson as ever, you must come to me at 10

Wigmore street; but I hope this may not be the case, for as Mr. Johnson,

with all his faults, is a man to whom that great word "respectable" is

always given, and I am known to be so intimate with his wife, his slighting

me has an awkward look.

I take London in my way to that insupportable spot, a country village;

for I am really going to Churchhill. Forgive me, my dear friend, it is my

英语短篇小说

Appointment With Love --By Sulamith Ish-Kishor

Six minutes to six, said the great round clock over the information booth in Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant who had just come from the direction of the tracks lifted his sunburned face, and his eyes narrowed to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat that shocked him because he could not control it. In six minutes, he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 months, the woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had been with him and sustained him unfailingly.

He placed himself as close as he could to the information booth, just beyond the ring of people besieging the clerks...

Lieutenant Blandford remembered one night in particular, the worst of the fighting, when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of Zeros. He had seen the grinning face of one of the enemy pilots.

In one of his letters, he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle, he had received her answer: "Of course you fear...all brave men do. Didn't King David know fear? That's why he wrote the 23rd Psalm. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you: 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me.'" And he had remembered; he had heard her imagined voice, and it had renewed his strength and skill.

Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six. His face grew sharp.

Under the immense, starred roof, people were walking fast, like threads of color being woven into a gray web. A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a red flower in her suit lapel, but it was a crimson sweet pea, not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was too young, about 18, whereas Hollis Meynell had frankly told him she was 30. "Well, what of it?" he had answered. "I'm 32." He was 29.

His mind went back to that book - the book the Lord Himself must have put into his hands out of the hundreds of Army library books sent to the Florida training camp. Of Human Bondage, it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman's writing. He had always hated that writing-in habit, but these remarks were different. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man's heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the bookplate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold of a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written, she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.

For 13 months, she had faithfully replied, and more than replied. When his letters did not arrive she wrote anyway, and now he believed he loved her, and she loved him.

But she had refused all his pleas to send him her photograph. That seemed rather bad, of course. But she had explained: "If your feeling for me has any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain (and you must admit that this is more likely). Then I'd always fear that you were going on writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don't ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision. Remember, both of us are free to stop or to go on after that - whichever we choose..."

One minute to six - Lieutenant Blandford's heart leaped higher than his plane had ever done.

A young woman was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blond hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale green suit, she was like springtime come alive.

He started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips.

"Going my way, soldier?" she murmured.

Uncontrollably, he made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.

She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump; her thick-ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes. But she wore a red rose in the rumpled lapel of her brown coat.

The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.

Blandford felt as though he were being split in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own; and there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; he could see that now. Her gray eyes had a warm, kindly twinkle.

Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn, blue leather copy of Of Human Bondage, which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even rarer than love - a friendship for which he had been and must ever be grateful.

He squared his broad shoulders, saluted and held the book out toward the woman, although even while he spoke he felt shocked by the bitterness of his disappointment.

"I'm Lieutenant John Blandford, and you - you are Miss Meynell. I'm so glad you could meet me. May...may I take you to dinner?"

The woman's face broadened in a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is all about, son," she answered. "That young lady in the green suit - the one who just went by - begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you asked me to go out with you, I should tell you that she's waiting for you in that big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of a test. I've got two boys with Uncle Sam myself, so I didn't mind to oblige you."

书虫

1.书店里有很多英语小说卖呀，虽然可能有一些删节，但是也很不错。看小说很累的，要有很大的词汇量和对英美国家文化的了解才行的！

2.网上也有很多，去搜就可以啊。

3.淘宝上也可以搜到并购买，很便宜，付了款卖家就直接发你了，很好很快的。

觉得答案好的话，请给分啦，谢谢！

读名著跟英语四级的直接关系还真看不出来。四级是应试，多熟悉真题和相关语法词组等知识点。读名著目的是了解知识？增加词汇？还是什么？

就算增加一些词汇量，这些单词也不一定是四级考试中需要的。

如果我列举一堆好评率超高的原著给你，但你本身却不感兴趣，不去行动，那都是毫无意义的。

而且不是因为哪些书对四级有好处才去读，而是通过阅读来顺便帮到自己准备四六级。

判断一个英语书是不是适合你，你只需考虑这几点就够了：

你翻开第一页，能看懂多少，能看进去多少

就算一本英语书，对四级再有帮助，但你要是看不懂至少50%，也是很难持续坚持下去的。

你要以自己的水平去衡量一个书是否适合自己。

你对这本书感不感兴趣，有没有动力读完它？

很多人长到这么大，连自己对什么东西感兴趣弄不清楚，还真是有些悲哀。

最好的评判标准是你能看懂一些，又有兴趣读完，那就是适合你的书。

推荐：小王子、夏洛的网、暮光之城、哈利波特英文版。

读完才是最重要的，无需为了那几个生词，总是停顿

读英文书也好，做四级也好，总会遇到不认识的单词。

一个人很难做到，把每个单词都背下来。

所以最好的应对办法就是训练自己长文的能力，多读，培养语感，学会用上下文来推测生词含义。

总之，养成喜欢阅读的习惯，比看任何一本单独的英文书带来的帮助都大。

希望可以对你有启发，如果还有什么其他问题，欢迎留言。

说实话，英语四级的水平看英语名著...估计看两页就会放弃的，因为看不懂...

我建议还是看一些儿童看的童话书或者故事书吧。介绍两本之前看的英文原著。

这一本里面的句子都挺简单易懂的，没有长难句。而且故事内容，我认为也挺适合大人看的。

毕竟是经典，把这本书作为英语阅读的第一本书是不错的选择。

这本书我建议在迷惘，或者不知道怎么做的时候，都可以拿出来看一看。很薄的一本书，里面的词汇也用的比较简单，英语四级的水平应该是够得。

看看下面列出来的销量排行榜，就知道这本书非同一般啦。

美亚上有专门分类，儿童阅读的书，打开之后还有分年龄段的，四级的水平大概在6-8岁吧，也可以看你自己感兴趣的书。建议不要挑成人看书籍，因为词汇量的不足，可能看一会就泄气，看不下去了。

如果有Kindle的话，倒是可以试试阅读难度高一些的书籍，比如名人自传等。

英语四级的水平，不妨先从一下英语短文，简短的文章中开始培养自己的英语阅读习惯。

谢邀。

对于大多数没能顺利过四级的同学来说，基本上就是听力在拉后腿，当然如果你的英语底子比较弱，那就应该先开始打好自己的基础了。

最后，祝你一切顺利！如有其它问题，还可以再问我。

我为大家提供不了经验，我只是介绍孩子的情况，在国内过了六级，到国外仍不能考入大学，经过英语系国家的教师专门提升会话水平，才考到七级。学医必须能与患者流利沟通，因此四级还不是熟练掌握英语的水平。

我觉得以英语四级的水平，去看英文名著，真的是一种作死的感觉。但你想通过阅读名著来提升你的英语，这也不是不可能的事情。你可以先看那些你感兴趣，而且被拍成电影的名著，先看电影，再来去看名著。这样你对整个故事就有了一个具体的了解啦，而且，你能够知道故事发生的背景，看原著的时候就能更好的去理解了，遇到看不懂的地方，你回想一下电影情节，肯定能够猜测到句子的意思。这样是不是比自己边看名著，边疯狂的查单词要轻松简单容易多了呢

我觉的这些电影小说值得去看看哟，超好看，超经典的啦

《肖申克的救赎》

《阿甘正传》

《怦然心动》

《远大前程》

《房间》
这些电影都挺好看的，看完电影，可以尝试着去看英文原著哦，坚持阅读的话，对你的英语肯定会有帮助的了。

这个其实有很多，我以前也很详细的写过不同英语水平下相对应的英语原版书籍。

这里我就再介绍下适合冲刺英语四六级的英语名著。记住，看原版书，电子书籍效率最高，配合欧陆词典。（具体请浏览我以前写过的回答）

1、《简·爱》

内容简介:《简·爱》是英国十九世纪著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作，是一部带有自传色彩的长篇小说，它阐释了这样一个主题：人的价值＝尊严＋爱。

小说讲述的是女主人公简·爱的成长历程，她从小失去父母，寄住在舅妈家，不平等的待遇让她饱受欺凌，小小年纪就承受了别人无法想象的委屈和痛苦。成年后，她成了桑菲尔德贵族庄园的家庭教师，她以真挚的情感和高尚的品德赢得了主人的尊敬和爱恋，谁料命运对她如此残忍，她为这段婚姻又付出了难以计算的代价，但自始至终她都一直坚持着自己的信念，执着自己的理想与追求。

2、《雾都孤儿》

内容简介:本书作者揭露出隐藏在伦敦狭小、肮脏的偏僻街道里的恐怖和暴力。因此他为我们写了邪恶的费金，残暴的比尔·赛克斯，以及一大群窃贼强盗。这些人撒谎、欺诈、偷盗，害怕进监狱，害怕郐子手把绞索套到他们的脚颈上，在惴惴不安中生活。小奥利弗·特威斯特——一个孤儿，他被投入一个充满贫困与犯罪的世界，忍饥挨饿，挨打挨骂，从来没有人爱他。他为我们写出了南希——可怜、凄惨、悲苦的南希，她生活在一个残忍的世界中，却挣扎着要忠实于她所爱的人。

3、《傲慢与偏见》

内容简介:“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……

4、《苔丝》

内容简介:小说问世于1891年，至今依然是刻画女性内心情感的最为细腻动人的小说之一。

这是一本忧伤的书：一位少女的生命被慢慢地、但确确实实地毁了——不是被她的敌人，而是被那些自称爱她的人。这是怎样的爱，何以摧毁自己所爱？

悲哀总是在眼睁睁地目睹错误发生却又无力阻拦之时产生。苔丝是一个快乐的姑娘，她的生活本该十分幸福——但合适的人儿犹豫着，不当的人却捷足先登。“别让她走！”我们不禁要大喊，或者“现在就告诉他，以免悔之太晚！”

然而还是太晚了：故事发生在一百年前——其实每天都在重演。我们无能为力，只有眼看着世界在变幻运转着。毁掉了苔丝，又继续变幻运转……仿佛根本未曾有过她。

5、《白衣女人》

内容简介:一个突然出现的白衣女人孤独地伫立在月下的荒野中。沃尔特·哈特里物一开始被她吓一跳，但后来发现她非常害怕，头脑也不清楚，需要他的帮助。他温和有礼地同她交谈，陪她走了一段路，指给她前面应该怎么走。很快，她就又消失在了夜色里。

这次偶遇拉开了一连串事件的序幕，也把沃尔特、玛丽安以及她同母异父的妹妹劳拉、珀西瓦爵士和他的意大利朋友福科斯科伯爵扯进一个似是而非的谜团之中。而谜团的核心就是那个悲伤孤独的白衣女人——她的生活、她的过去还有她急于在死前揭开的秘密。

这是一个有关贪婪与邪恶、无辜与背叛、身份混淆与无情欺骗的故事。这也是一个爱情故事——爱情的开始是伤心和痛苦，好像没有任何出路，更没有任何希望和将来。但是，爱情不会轻易灭亡；它能够战胜离别与绝望，甚至死亡……

阅读英语名著，可以帮你轻松搞定四级的四大题型：听力、阅读、翻译和写作，上650不是梦！前面的回答都说四级的水平读不了名著，实在是外行话。不是读不了，关键是读什么和怎么读。下面就跟各位分享一下我的方法。

前面的回答都说英语名著生词量大，不停的查单词会让你丧失兴趣读不下去。可是为什么不挑生词量小的去读呢？

牛津书虫系列英语简易读物50本。是名著的简写版，在词汇和句式上做了简化，并且有每个章节后面都有汉语翻译。而且有不同的难度级别，从小学生到大学生，都能找到适合自己的。

1）读前词汇准备。

把名著电子书导入“爱英阅”软件，提取出书中所有生词，按生僻度排序，打印出单词表或导入手机词典，大致背一背有个印象就行。

关于软件的下载和使用，可以查看我之前的一个回答：如何阅读英语原文小说？

2）享受阅读乐趣。

读的过程中，不要查任何单词！一个也不要查！尽量保持阅读的连贯性，享受故事情节的乐趣。除非遇到特别好的句子或看不懂的长句，做个标记，然后查看后面相应的汉语翻译，也做标记。

3）读后听有声书。

是的，几乎多有名著都有有声书！适合在不合适阅读的场景利用碎片化时间听。读过一遍后，对情节和词汇比较熟悉了，很容易就能听懂，能听懂的才是“有效输入”，有效输入才能提高听力！

4）看汉语翻英语。

还记的之前在汉语对照上做的标记吗？读了一遍英语，尝试翻译过长难句，听了一遍有声书，经过了三次输入后，对于这些长难句或美句已经有了比较深刻的印象！现在看着汉语尝试翻译成英语，这会迅速提高你的翻译能力！

5）进行概要写作。

用自己的语言在几百词之内总结全书，非常锻炼自己的思维、总结和写作能力。也可以加上自己的读后感。可以尝试引用之前翻译过的美句，或者套用长难句的句式！

可以看看下表四级的题型，360度无死角，全都练到了。

在英语学习类书籍销量冠军把你的英语用起来一书中，作者按照由易到难的顺序推荐了100本英语名著。前面的基本如《小王子》《谁动了我的奶酪》等，高中水平就可以轻松阅读。

感谢彩虹的邀请。对于考英语四级这个问题，我已经不止一次的回答了。我也在积极的准备这次的四级考试。希望这次和大家都能一起过四级。其实我觉得考四级拼的就是单词量，如果你能把高中的一些单词量恢复，并且学习一些四级的基本单词的话，可能就在单词量上就没什么问题了。如果你单词量不够的话，根本就看不了原著，即使给你一本原著你也看不下去。但是如果你单词够的话，我推荐以下著作：穷爸爸和富爸爸。格列佛游记。还有一些VOA的视频。对于练习听力很有帮助。希望和我一样没过的加油！喜欢就请点赞。关注。

谢谢友友的邀请。

个人英语书籍阅读的不多，一般四级的水平只需要把高中的课程学好，即可稳过四级英语。

在考四级之前，自己还没有怎么看过什么英文原版名著，直到现在只是把《海狼》看完，《哈利波特》英文版第一部都没看完，原版虽然买了，但是实在难读，我的六级英语都过了，但是还是感觉不认识的词语很多，看来考试和真的阅读需要的词汇量不可同日而语。

个人倒是觉得，如果单词量太小的话，读英文名著可能不是享受，而是受罪。

再次谢谢友友的邀请。

由于不能提供好的书籍，此处，就不再求关注了，毕竟对大家没有什么特别的借鉴意义。
