十一期间，不读一本英文原著多辜负这个美好的长假啊！但苦于没有经验，很多同学无法开始、也没有信心读那么冗长的满篇遍布生词的英文。

　　幸运的是，最近，豆姐读了一位大神的英文原著的正确打开方式，真心觉得如果不分享给你实在是过意不去。让我们一起看看他是如何读完上百本英文原著的吧！

　　以下是这位大神文章中节选出来的一部分：

　　我曾在某些文章里谈到了自己大学自学英语的经历。在那些文章里，我提到了阅读英文原著。很多人说读英文原著非常难，问我是如何读完这么多英文原著的。通过这篇文章里，我将详细地回答他们这个问题。?

　　首先谈谈面对英文原著时，很多人会产生的畏惧心理。但这种恐惧、不舒适的状态是一种很常见的状态，而且我们从小就经历并克服过。????

　　我们小时候背唐诗，读语文课文，我们很多时候也是不懂的，那时我们也有一种不舒服的感觉。我们会去问父母，问老师，但问了以后，我们可能还是不懂，于是我们就只能忍受那种似懂非懂的状态。慢慢地，我们阅读的越来越多，我们也就在阅读中熏陶了自己，提高了自己的理解力，那种不舒服的感觉也就越来越少了。?

　　再举个例子。当你进入某项对你来说全新的领域的时候，比如说金融或者互联网，即使资料全是用中文写的，别人也用中文跟你讲解，但你就是看的云里雾里，听的云里雾里。你会有一种不舒服的感觉。

　　但当你看得越多，听得越多的时候，某个瞬间你突然明白了别人在说什么了，感到自己的理解力提高了一大截。

　　阅读英文原著，你也要学会忍受这种似懂非懂的不舒服的感觉。如果你一旦感觉自己没看懂，就放弃，那你就会永远恐惧，永远看不懂英文原著。??

　　开始的时候，读一本英文原著，如果只看懂40%，50%，那也没关系，要强迫自己读下去。你会发现，一本书你越看到后面感觉越容易，看的越顺利。

　　因为你前面查的新单词，它们常常会反复不断的出现在一本书里。而且每个作家的写作手法不同，你适应他的语言特点也需要一定的时间。

　　在开始阅读英文原著的过程中，你还会遇到另一种不舒服的感觉：你在阅读的时候，脑子里总是自动将其翻译成中文来思考理解。

　　比如说你看到 “food”这个单词，你脑子中立马把它翻译成“食物”来理解。那是因为我们的母语是中文，用中文思考更符合我们的习惯。你有时候会想“我何时才能不在脑子里把英文翻译成中文来理解呢“？ 我想说的是，这也是一个过程。你阅读的越多，你对母语的依赖就会越少。

　　我是在阅读了一百多本原著、看了很多电影和美剧、跟外国人打了六七年交道后，才慢慢变得不怎么依赖母语了的。

　　所以大家碰到阅读英文原著的这种不舒适感、恐惧感，千万不能退却、放弃，而要坚持，要学会与它共存。我们在学习任何一门新的知识或技能的时候，都会遇到这种恐惧感和不舒适感。你之所以没学会，很多时候并不是你智力有问题，而是你没有耐心去与这种恐惧感、不舒适感共存。

　　而且大家会看到，无法面对恐惧、忍受不舒适感的人往往很难学会新的东西。他们总是生活在同一个地方，做着同样的工作，吃着同样的食物等等。他们不喜欢变化，过着单一的生活。大家要勇于跳出自己的舒适区（Comfort Zone), 去迎接挑战。

　　一个人要是总是呆在让自己舒服的环境和状态中，他又怎么能进步和成长呢？?

　　看了上面这些大神的话，是不是感觉读英文原著也没有那么难了呢，既然你点进了这篇文章，首先肯定说明你是想做这个尝试的。

　　正好，豆姐给你选了一篇英文原著，名字叫做《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》，相信你已经看过它的中文版，那就趁着这个十一假期，跟豆姐一起攻略它的英文版吧！

　　认真读完之后，你的英语一定会有一个质一样的飞跃。以下就是这个系列的第一篇《Down the rabbit hole》(掉进兔子洞)

　　英文原文

　　Alice was beginning to get very bored. She and her sister were sitting under the trees. Her sister was reading，but Alice had nothing to do. Once or twice she looked into her sister's book，but it had no pictures or conversations in it.

　　'And what is the use of a book，'thought Alice，'without pictures or conversations？'

　　She tried to think of something to do，but it was a hot day and she felt very sleepy and stupid．She was still sitting and thinking when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her．

　　There was nothing really strange about seeing a rabbit．And Alice was not very surprised when the Rabbit said，'Oh dear！Oh dear！I shall be late！'(Perhaps it was a little strange， Alice thought later，but at the time she was not surprised．)

　　But then the Rabbit took a watch out of its pocket，looked at it，and hurried on．At once Alice jumped to her feet．

　　'I've never before seen a rabbit with either a pocket，or a watch to take out of it，'she thought．And she ran quickly across the field after the Rabbit．She did not stop to think， and when the Rabbit ran down a large rabbit-hole，Alice followed it immediately．

　　After a little way the rabbit-hole suddenly went down，deep into the ground．Alice could not stop herself falling，and down she went，too．

　　It was a very strange hole Alice was falling very slowly， and she had time to think and to look around her．She could see nothing below her because it was so dark．But when she looked at the sides of the hole，she could see cupboards and books and pictures on the walls．She had time to take things out of a cupboard，look at them，and then put them back in a cupboard lower down．

　　'Well！'thought Alice．'After a fall like this，I can fall anywhere！I can fall downstairs at home，and I won't cry or say a word about it！'

　　Down，down，down．'How far have I fallen now？'Alice said aloud to herself．'Perhaps I'm near the centre of the earth．Let me think…That's four thousand miles down．' (Alice was very good at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things like this．)

　　Down，down，down．Would she ever stop falling？Alice was very nearly asleep when，suddenly，she was sitting on the ground．Quickly，she jumped to her feet and looked around．She could see the White Rabbit，who was hurrying away and still talking to himself．'Oh my ears and whiskers！'he was saying．'How late it's getting！'

　　Alice ran after him like the wind．She was getting very near him when he suddenly turned a corner．Alice ran round the corner too，and then stopped．She was now in a long，dark room with doors all round the walls，and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere．

　　She tried to open the doors，but they were all locked．'How will I ever get out again？'she thought sadly．Then she saw a little glass table with three legs，and on the top of it was a very small gold key．Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors，but oh dear！Either the locks were too big，or the key was too small，but she could not open any of the doors．

　　Then she saw another door，a door that was only forty centimetres high．The little gold key unlocked this door easily， but of course Alice could not get through it―she was much too big．So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door，into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers．

　　Poor Alice was very unhappy．'What a wonderful garden！' she said to herself．'I'd like to be out there―not in this dark room．Why can't I get smaller？'It was already a very strange day，and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible．

　　After a while she locked the door again，got up and went back to the glass table．She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table（'I'm sure it wasn't here before，'said Alice）．Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters．

　　But Alice was a careful girl．'It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles，'she said．'What will it do to me？'She drank a little bit very slowly．The taste was very nice，like chocolate and oranges and hot sweet coffee，and very soon Alice finished the bottle．

　　'What a strange feeling！'said Alice．'I think I'm getting smaller and smaller every second．'

　　And she was．A few minutes later she was only twenty-five centimetres high．'And now，'she said happily，'I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden．'

　　She ran at once to the door．When she got there，she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table．She ran back to the table for it，but of course，she was now much too small！There was the key，high above her，on top of the table．She tried very hard to climb up the table leg，but she could not do it．

　　At last，tired and unhappy，Alice sat down on the floor and cried．But after a while she spoke to herself angrily.

　　'Come now，'she said．'Stop crying at once. What's the use of crying？'She was a strange child，and often talked to herself like this.

　　Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor．She opened it，and found a very small cake with the words EAT ME on it.

　　Nothing could surprise Alice now．'Well，I'll eat it，'she said．'If I get taller，I can take the key off the table．And if I get smaller，I can get under the door．One way or another，I'll get into the garden．So it doesn't matter what happens！'

　　She ate a bit of the cake，and then put her hand on top of her head．'Which way？Which way？'she asked herself， a little afraid. Nothing happened. This was not really surprising. People don't usually get taller or shorter when they eat cake. But a lot of strange things were happening to Alice today. 'It will be very boring，'she said，'if nothing happens. '

　　So she went on eating，and very soon the cake was finished.
