科幻迷一定对《三体》不陌生,这部斩获国内国际大奖的作品,真是挑战了我们凡人的想象力,而作者刘慈欣,也成为了首个获得雨果奖的亚洲作家。关于这部小说,当雅思口语素材能说的简直太多,光是故事,就不是两分钟能说完的,所以如果你对这部作品充满了爱,并且不止一次把它安利给朋友们,那么作为雅思口语的选材,它简直太合适不过了!
首先你可以讲是如何知道这本小说的:
朋友安利:My friend highly recommended this book to me, he said it was the most gripping story he had ever read in his entire life. So just out of curiosity, I bought the trilogy on Amazon.
然后就表达一下这部书是如何的吸引你:
And I have to say, my friend is totally right about it. No wonder people say it is the most popular science fiction in China. I mean, the whole story is full of imagination, and the best part is, you don't have to be an expert in science or have any specialist knowledge to understand and appreciate the story.
I'm impressed by the author's way of telling the story, I mean, he grabbed me from the very start, and it was just impossible to put the book down.
书里的具体故事可以不说,说了也不完,所以可以大概的来个“读后感”:
What he wrote about is not just about science and technology, it's also about philosophy, humanity, history and psychology. So you see, this book has a profound meaning.
Like I said, what appeals to me the most is the way he wrote the stories. He came up with quite a few new concepts and assumptions about the universe. So I really admire his wild imagination. And the whole book is about the fight between human beings and other creatures, I mean, aliens, from the outer space, but there's no description of any battle at all. Interestingly, however, we could still feel the tension and cruelty of the war.
然后小学生式作文结尾就行了:
It's fair to say, the writer is truly a genius. It took me a whole week to finish reading the book, but I have to say, it's totally worth my time.
如果考官居然还不叫停,那么还可以说说今年就要上映的同名电影了:
I heard there would be a screen adaptation of the same name released soon. I'm pretty looking forward to it, 'cause I really hope special effects in the movie could display the vivid imagination in the book.
