一、说明
1、《简·爱》原著共38章,有将近19万单词。经程序统计,《简·爱》使用了大约12470个不同的单词(包括各种词形变化)。
2、由于一个“基本单词”有多种词形变化,例如基本单词ask在原著中出现的形式有5种:asked(153)、ask(64)、asks(5)、asking(5)、unasked(1),而基本单词answer出现的形式也有5种:answer(86)、answered(75)、answers(10)、answering(7)、answerable(2),所以《简·爱》中使用的基本单词数量很可能(远)小于1万,那么一个有趣的问题来了:
剔除词形变化,即掌握不到1万的(基本)单词量,是否可以成为一名(优秀的)英文作家?
注:以上括号内数字是该单词的频次(单词在原著中出现的次数)。
3、为了便于统一提取单词,先将原著中所有单词转为小写;然后分离标点符号,所以也出现了一些异常的“单词”(s,t,ll,……),例如:
s:“children's” -> “children ' s”; “mother's” -> “mother ' s”
t:“don't” -> “don ' t”; “won't” -> “won ' t”
ll:“you'll” -> “you ' ll”; “i'll” -> “i ' ll”
o:“o'clock” -> “o ' clock”
ma:“ma'am” -> “ma ' am”
ve:“you've” -> “you ' ve”
re:“you're” -> “you ' re”
m:“i'm” -> “i ' m”
d:“d'ye” -> “d ' ye”; “i'd” -> “i ' d”
对于这些拆开了的“单词”,读者可以忽略之,或者重新构想为完整的单词(组合),例如:“s” -> “children ' s” -> “children's”,“m” -> “i ' m” -> “i'm” -> “I'm”,等等。
