今天，我们跟闻萃老师一起阅读一篇关于文学大师狄更斯的短文，学习两组非常有用的英语词汇“患有强迫症的文学大师狄更斯是维多利亚女王时代伟大的社会变革家和杰出的文学大师他的作品题材广泛、内容深刻、精品众多本文从他生活的一个侧面，简要介绍了狄更斯在生活中的一个不为人知的细节。

Charles Dickens’ eccentric behaviorsCharles Dickens is much loved for being one of the greatest social reformers of Victorian London as well as one of the greatest contributors to classic English literature. He was an

incrediblyprolific and successful author and if we attempt to select his best works, we will have an

impressively long list. But this genius of words also had some eccentric behaviors. An employee reported that he was obsessive on some points. Even some trivial things might set him

on edge. For example, he couldn’t stand a hair out of place. So the writer kept his comb nearby and ran it through his hair hundreds of times a day. Dickens was also strictly specific about the arrangement of his study. He had to make sure things were

in good order before he started writing magic. Experts who have analyzed Dickens’ life have blamed a mild form of

obsessive-compulsive disorder for his weird behaviors.词汇学习小贴士：第一组是用来形容狄更斯文学成就的几个词汇首先，短文中提到了他不是普通的writer或者author，他是一位能够妙笔生花（writing magic）的天才（genius），并且是一位多产（prolific）的天才。

Prolific一词经常用来形容艺术家的作品量大类丰例如，He was a prolific author who could produce several works of fiction and nonfiction a year.

此外，第一段中还出现了两个副词incredibly和impressively，均表示“非常”，用来修饰后面的形容词它们的形容词incredible和impressive也是表示赞赏的高频词汇第二组是用来表示狄更斯怪癖的几个词汇。

最关键的是一对形容词，eccentric和weird，它们分别出现在第二段的首句和末句，在文中都用来形容狄更斯的行为古怪此外，文中还提到了作家可能患有轻度的强迫症（obsessive-compulsive disorder），其特点就是“obsessive”，意思是对某事物或情况的过度关注或在意。

例如，Many dancers are obsessive about their weight. 我们可以从文中了解到狄更斯对于一根乱发（a hair out of place）是不能容忍的；书房中物品的摆放也必须是井然有序（in good order），否则他内心会紧张不安（on edge）。
