對(duì)于許多英語(yǔ)的初學(xué)者們來(lái)說(shuō)，英語(yǔ)當(dāng)中繁雜的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)，綿綿不斷的詞匯是非�？菰锏�。很多人都試過(guò)投入很多時(shí)間，但是到頭脹近吐的階段，也沒(méi)有多大提升，還落下了見(jiàn)語(yǔ)法詞匯生拒或恨的逆反情感。

真的沒(méi)有更“性?xún)r(jià)比”高的方法么?

有。比如看看童話故事，學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法和詞匯。

格林童話和安徒生故事，相信很多人都不會(huì)陌生�；实鄣男卵b，賣(mài)火柴的小女孩，灰姑娘，白雪公主和七個(gè)小矮人等等，都是我們陪著我們的童年，耳熟能詳?shù)墓适�。只是，我們大多看的是中文版。為何不嘗試讀讀英文版呢?

比如下面這段從《Cinderella》灰姑娘節(jié)選的英文：

Once upon a time, there was a widower 1 who married a proud and haughty woman as his second wife. She had two daughters, 2 who were equally vain and selfish. By his first wife, he'd had a beautiful young daughter, a girl of unparalleled goodness and sweet temper. The stepmother and her daughters forced the first daughter into servitude, where she was made to work day and night in menial chores. After the girl's chores were done for the day, she would retire to the barren and cold room given to her, and would curl up near the fireplace in an effort to stay warm. She would often arise covered in cinders, giving rise to the mocking nickname "Cinderella". Cinderella bore the abuse patiently and dared not tell her father, since his wife controlled him entirely.

處處是知識(shí)點(diǎn)。

1和2在 語(yǔ)法上是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾人。同時(shí)形容詞“proud and haughty”傲慢自大”vain and selfish”虛榮自私，讀著朗朗上口。

“a girl of unparalleled goodness and sweet temper.”是“of +名詞” 作為形容詞的語(yǔ)法，比如“a man of humor”意思是有幽默的男人。

“servitude, where”這里也是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，用“where”引導(dǎo)的說(shuō)地點(diǎn)的定語(yǔ)從句，“servitude”是勞役，類(lèi)似”labor”。Where 后面的句子補(bǔ)充說(shuō)灰姑娘工作的內(nèi)容。

“after”表之后，時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。

“since”表原因，原因狀語(yǔ)。

文章中多處為過(guò)去時(shí)，“By his first wife, he'd had a beautiful young daughter”這里用的是過(guò)去完成時(shí)，講的是在第一任妻子(在第二任之前)，就有了一個(gè)美麗年輕的女兒。

接下來(lái)這篇，大家可以猜猜講的是那個(gè)故事，嘗試看看從中可以學(xué)到什么語(yǔ)法知識(shí)和詞匯。

A queen sits sewing at an open window during a winter snowfall when she pricks her finger with her needle, causing three drops of blood dripping into the freshly fallen snow on the black windowsill. Admiring the beauty of the resulting color combination, she says to herself, "Oh how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony". Soon after that, the queen gives birth to a baby girl who is as white as snow, as red as blood, and with hair as black as ebony. They name her 'Snow White', but sadly, the queen dies after giving birth to her.
