前言
一套供青少年和英语爱好者阅读的丛书,应满足三个要求: Read for pleasure; Read for information; Read for language improvement. 《Black Cat有声名著阶梯阅读》满足了以上要求而有余。 首先,这是一套同时供听觉享受的书。一部作品,当它由专业演员朗读时,就能以其优美的声音、抑扬顿挫的语调、加上传神的表达,使读者和听者真正身临其境,最充分地领会作品中的情、境、思。而这一效果,就不是只有白纸黑字的书面材料所能提供的了。加之这套书图文并茂,更使视、听两种感官得以完美地结合。 其次,这套书为读、听者提供了有益的背景资料,包括作家生平、时代背景、人文知识等,有助于培养青少年的跨文化意识。书中许多传世名画,更给人充分的艺术享受。 再者,虽是读物,却兼具教科书的功能。每本书都编入为数不少的练习,涉及阅读理解、词汇辨释以及语法结构等,为课堂的语言教学提供了有效的补充。 在教育部颁布的国家英语课程标准中指出了泛读的重要性,明确规定了学生每学期的课外阅读量。学习任何外语,只有课内的精读,没有课外大量的泛读,是不可能学好的,更不用说获得语感。《Black Cat有声名著阶梯阅读》丛书的编印出版,为广大青少年和英语爱好者提供了一个学习英语的新天地——我为你们庆幸。
