第一本:《傲慢与偏见》
Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is kind of a literary Rosetta Stone, the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modern novels. You’re probably more familiar with its plot and characters than you think. For a book written in the early 19th century, it’s modernity is surprising only until you realize that this is the novel that in many ways defined what a modern novel is.
《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。作为一本写于19世纪的书,它的现代性是非常惊人的,而你稍作了解之后就会知道,这是因为现代小说在很大程度上就是被这本书定义的。
这本《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的小说中最出名的一本,它是文学史上很重要的一部作品,阅读它不光可以学习地道的英语,也能积累不少有用的人文知识。简·奥斯汀的小说对初学者而言是比较友好的,她的语言相对朴实,阅读体验很流畅;而且,简·奥斯汀描述的故事也通常都是英国乡绅小姐们的感情戏和家庭戏,很贴近生活,特别适合那些想达到六级水平的人。

第二本:《尤利西斯》
Ulysses
Ulysses did “stream of consciousness” before the term existed, and it’s also a sprawling novel dense with allusions, wordplay, obscure jokes, and intensely, opaquely personal ruminations by the characters.
《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。
这本小说曾经入选“全球最难读懂的10本书”之中,不过这并不是说它的语言过于高深,而是说它的结构十分复杂;迄今为止,它一直都是文学界的一个难解谜团,无数文学爱好者和学者都以解读它为乐。对于学英语而言,它的好处在于贴近日常,同时又有足够的深度和艺术造诣;这使得它非常适合雅思这门“贴近生活的学术型考试”。

第三本:《白鲸》
Moby-Dick / The Whale
Moby-Dick has an unearned reputation for being, well, dull. Melville’s novel wasn’t received well on publication (it took decades before people really started to 'get' how great it is), and the negative sentiment is echoed every year when groaning students are forced to read it.
好吧,其实《白鲸》是出了名地乏味。梅尔维尔的小说在刚发行的时候反响并不好(过了几十年人们才意识到这本书到底有多棒)。而随着每年都有大量学生被迫读这本书,这种负面情绪也一直挥之不去。
这本《白鲸》的价值还在于:它在西方文化中的影响真的很大,有很多俚语、俗语都来源于它;同时,这本书的词汇量也非常大,曾有人把它评为“世界上密度最大的小说之一”。加之作者纯熟的语言技巧,这本书很能培养一个人做学术研究的能力。因此,它很适合托福这门学术气息浓厚的英语考试。

第四本:《杀死一只知更鸟》
To Kill A Mockingbird
It’s rare for a novel to remain as on-point as Mockingbird for more than five decades. If you want to know how Harper Lee managed the trick, you’re gonna have to read it. At about seven hours to read, you can totally squeeze it in.
一本小说能连续50年不衰,这是很罕见的。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,你就能完全读完这本书了。
这本书的结构是相对简单的,节奏也很明快,阅读体验很顺畅。这多亏了作者独到的写作技巧,他能把小说写得很易读,同时却能在里面埋下深刻的东西。这本书对于英语学习者的意义还在于,它里面描写了很多正式场合,例如法庭;你在阅读它的时候,能体会到商务情景、正式场合下的英语和日常生活用于的不同。

第五本:《长眠不醒》
The Big Sleep
It’s true that the book is written in what seems to modern audiences like a self-consciously tough style, peppered with old-fashioned slang, and the plot is famously complex, even for a mystery, and actually has several loose ends that never get resolved, but it doesn’t matter.
确实,对于现代读者来说,这本书有一股过于刻意的硬汉风,其中穿插着很多老式的黑话;至于情节呢,即使是对于一本悬疑小说来说也是出了名的复杂,而且书中的很多未讲明的谜团直到今天也没有被破解;但这些都不叫事儿。
这本书的好处在于:它是一本悬疑小说,而且是一本相当出色的悬疑小说,剧情引人入胜,所以你不必担心自己读不下去。同时,它的行文十分口语化,你能在里面看到很多教科书上不会出现的英语,换句话说就是真正地道的英语。
