These stories fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir, and biography. 最普遍的非小说类文学作品类型之一就是一些描述人们生活的故事，并且很多人喜欢阅读这类作品。这些故事大致分为三类：自传、回忆录和传记。 tale???[teil]??n.?1?故事2?传言; 谣言common???[k?m?n]??adj.?1?普遍的, 常见的2?公有的, 共有的, 共同的3?一般的, 平常的type???[taip]??n.?1?类型; 种类2?典型人物; 典型, 模范, 模样vt. vi.?打字nonfiction???[n?nf?k??n]??n.?非小说类文学作品???non???[nu?]??adv.?非,不 fiction???[fik??n]??n.?1?小说2?虚构的或想像出的事, 并非完全真实的事lives???[la?vz]??n.?生命(life的复数)??live???[liv]????vi.?1?活, 生存2?居住; 住vt. vi.?以某种方式生活adj.?1?活的, 有生命的7?现场直播的, 实况转播的adv.?以直播方式fall into???1?分成2?掉进, 陷入category???[k?tiɡ?ri]??n.?种类, 类别autobiography???[,?:t?ubai?ɡr?fi]??n.?1?自传2?自传文学biography???[bai?ɡr?fi]??n.?传记graphy???[ɡr?fi]??n.?(表示音素、词素等的)书写单位,书写符号graphy 写法，书法，画法，图示法memoir???[memwɑ:]??n.?1?回忆录, 自传2?记事录An autobiography is the story of a persons life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the persons earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies. 1Other writers, such as James Joyce，have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies，but they are very close to it. 自传是作者记录自己故事的文章。通常自传会以作者最早期的回忆开始并以对现在情况的总结作为结束。自传的作者也许不会完全客观地介绍自己。然而，他们给读者提供了一个途径来了解自己比较好的行事风格和为何成就这样的自己。就像本杰明·富兰克林和海伦·凯勒一样，各种各样的人们已经写了自传。其他的作者就像詹姆斯·乔伊斯一样仅仅写了关于自己生活的虚构小说。这些不是自传，但是它们和自传非常相近。person???[p?:s?n]??n.?1?人2?(语法)人称recollection???[,rek?lek??n]??n.?1?回忆, 追忆2?往事, 回忆录lection???[lek??n]??n.?经文(礼拜时选读的)end in以……为结束 present???[prez?nt]??adj.?1?出席的, 到场的2?现在的, 目前的3?存在的, 含有的n.?1?现在; 目前2?礼物, 赠品vt.?1?出现; 出席; 显示2?介绍writer???[rait?]??n.?作者, 作家entirely???[enta??li:]??adv.?全部地;完整地;完全地?? entire???[i
