A Tale of Two Cities · 查尔斯·狄更斯 Charles Dickens · 1859 年
以四级词汇量,这本相当吃力。不是不能读,是不能『用查词的方式』读。
覆盖率 = 正文里你已经认识的词占多少。研究里的两条线:98% 才谈得上自主流畅阅读, 95% 是需要辅助的教学级(Hu & Nation, 2000)。人名地名不计入生词——认出它是个名字就够了, 这本书里有 418 个。
高阶,建议配释义读。全书 135,996 词,按非母语者每分钟 150 词估算,读完约需 15 小时 7 分。 平均句长 16.1 词。 想让这本书的覆盖率达到 95%(读得动的下限),大约需要 22,500 个词族。
双城记的开头,原文照抄。不认识的词点一下就在旁边告诉你这里是什么意思 —— 不用注册,点多少次都免费。
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
There were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face, on the throne of England; there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face, on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever.

上面这些数字是算出来的,双城记我们还没切成一段一段。
你手上有它的电子书就传上来 —— 几分钟做好,一样是三分钟一段、生词点一下就地看意思。免费,不用信用卡。
这几本已经做好了,难度跟双城记最接近。
按每百词生词数排的。数字小的读起来轻松,想跳一档就往数字大的挑。
数据由 Readii 用公版原文自动计算(2026-07-23 更新),不是人工估的。 「Readii 阅读级」是自研刻度,锚在生词密度上,与蓝思(Lexile)、AR 不是同一套体系,不可直接换算。 生词判定基准为四级 ∪ 高考词汇表,因此这里的难度是对中文母语学习者而言的,不是母语儿童的分级。
