阅读英文原版书的最好方法是什么？
先扫一遍目录，对整本书的结构有个大致印象。再认真读前言。作者感谢家人、同事什么的略过就行。然后开始读。方法如下：
以自然段为单位，用较快速度阅读。
要求：默读
跳跃式阅读
所谓跳跃，指的是只读主语（who）和动词（do what），略过形容词、副词等修饰性成分。最忌讳匀速阅读！一个字一个字地匀速阅读，不分轻重，没有快慢，效率太低，效果也不好。
阅读过程中遇到生词，千万不要查字典！要结合上下文猜它的意思。然后继续前进，直到本自然段结束后，再回头一个一个地查单词。用《朗文》《韦氏》等英英字典查，不要用英汉字典、双语字典或者文曲星之类的电子词典。原因不解释。
查单词时要做三件事：
1. 反复练习发音。
2. 背熟一个典型例句。
3. 记住它的常见搭配。
重读本自然段。这一遍要求出声读，绘声绘色，想象你就是作者本人，面对台下的听众，在陈述、在罗列、在议论、在反驳、在描写、在抒情、在感叹这个世界恨之不如他所愿，爱之不忍道离别。
