The Time Machine · H·G·威尔斯 H. G. Wells · 1895 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 160 个。
高阶,建议配释义读。全书 32,622 词,按非母语者每分钟 150 词估算,读完约需 3 小时 37 分。 平均句长 16.8 词。 想让这本书的覆盖率达到 95%(读得动的下限),大约需要 19,750 个词族。

The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burnt brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere, when thought runs gracefully free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in this way—marking the points with a lean forefinger—as we sat and lazily admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it) and his fecundity.
“You must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or two ideas that are almost universally accepted. The geometry, for instance, they taught you at school is founded on a misconception.”
“Is not that rather a large thing to expect us to begin upon?” said Filby, an argumentative person with red hair.

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。
