ChinaDaily手机报的外籍专家、来自美国阿拉巴马州的Anne Marie Ruisi (安妮·玛丽·瑞斯)为我们推荐了几本适合英语学习者阅读的书，让我们在学习地道英文的同时，享受读书带给我们的精神启迪。
一.《汤姆索亚历险记》《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》(适合中级学习者)
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are
probably Mark Twain's most famous books, but the language, especially the 19th
century black dialect in Huck Finn, can be challenging. I'd recommend these two
for an intermediate reader.
《汤姆索亚历险记》和《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》可能是马克·吐温最著名的两部作品了，但这两部作品，尤其《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》中出现的19世纪的黑人方言，可能对某些读者来说有挑战性。我建议中级英文学习者读这两本。
二.《小王子》英文版
The Little Prince is a wonderful book, a lovely fable originally written in
French but beautifully translated into English. It's a children's tale for
adults and should work well for beginners.
《小王子》这本书很棒，是一则暖心寓言。原著由法语写成，其英文版也翻译的很美。这样一本写给大人看的儿童故事比较适合
三.《了不起的盖茨比》
Hemingway's contemporary, F. Scott Fitzgerald, wrote The Great Gatsby, his
most famous work, and short stories that are a pleasure to read.
与海明威同一时代的菲茨杰拉德著有《了不起的盖茨比》，是他最为人所知的作品。菲茨杰拉德还写过不少短篇小说，也很适合阅读
四.《银猪》等
For something a little less literary, there are many good, easy to read
popular books in a variety of genres (流派、体裁), including romance novels,
mysteries, detective stories and science fiction. Lindsey Davis is a British
mystery writer whose Falco series is set in ancient Rome; try her first novel,
The Silver Pigs. Nora Roberts and Jude Devereaux are top romance novelists in
the US whose books are fun to read.
要说文学性不那么强的，爱情、玄幻、侦探、科幻等很多不同流派也有很多优秀易读的名作。英国推理小说家林赛·戴维斯的法尔科系列写的是发生在古罗马的故事，我推荐大家读一读她的首部小说《银猪》。来自美国的诺拉·罗伯茨和裘德·德弗罗是著名的爱情小说家，他们的书也很有趣。
五.海明威的《老人与海》《太阳照常升起》
Ernest Hemingway is an author whose writing is simple and straightforward yet
delves into the deeper issues of what makes us human. His books aren't long and
they are easy to read. The Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises are
classics of American literature.
欧内斯特·海明威的写作方式简洁明了、平铺直叙，却能触动我们内心深处对人的本性的多重思考。他的书篇幅不长、易于阅读。《老人与海》和《太阳照常升起》都是美国文学中的经典。
六.《杀死一只知更鸟》
Harper Lee, the reclusive author of To Kill a Mockingbird, is from Alabama,
like myself.
跟我一样来自阿拉巴马州、深居简出的哈珀·李是《杀死一只知更鸟》的作者。
书是我们的良师益友，读书能陶冶人的情操，给人知识和智慧。多读些英文书，能帮助我们的英文有更大的进步。
