Book Genres 書籍的體裁

小喬

在圖書館里、書店里，書架上的圖書琳瑯滿目，讓人目不暇接。如何在浩如煙海的“書堆”里找到你感興趣的書呢？這就需要我們了解書海中的“坐標”——書籍的體裁。4月23日是“世界讀書日”，讓我們在書香彌漫中，徐徐展開書籍世界的“航海圖”，來一場探索與發現之旅吧。

Books can be generally divided into two types — fiction（虛構） and non-fiction（非虛構）. Fiction is based on the authors imagination（想象）while non-fiction is based on the facts（事實）. For example， the famous Harry Potter Series is fiction while The Grand Scribes Records（《史記》） is non-fiction. Moreover， these two types can be further divided into different genres.

In the world of fiction， we can learn magic when we read a fantasy（奇幻作品）; We laugh a lot when we read a comedy（喜劇）; We become the detectives（偵探）when we read a mystery（推理）; We know whats great writing when we read a classic（經典名著）; We also have sweet dreams after reading a fairy tale（童話）.

If we want to read something real， there are many genres to choose in non-fiction. When we are interested in a real person， we have two choices， a biography（傳記）， learning in others point of views（視角）; Or an autobiography（自傳）， hearing the persons own voice. If we want to learn some new facts， lets go and explore an encyclopedia（百科全書）. When we come across some new words， search them in a dictionary（字典）！

讀完短文，你了解了多少種書籍的體裁呢？和家人或朋友來下一盤與書籍有關的飛行棋吧。第一次擲骰子時，如果結果是單數就從右邊開始，如果是雙數就從左邊開始。
