不过呢，这个文学也是要看天赋的。很多外国人也就是一般般，莎的东西基本上好多外国人也读不懂的。
文科和理科一样，不是光埋头苦干就行，还需要喜欢，有兴趣，有天赋。
最近我在看欧洲文学史，看下来其实国外的高中已经将很多东西涵盖了（甚至有很多文学形式小学已经开始简化地接触了），但是如果不是有很好的文学基础，估计也是白学。英语也是很难的一门。
摘录我看到地方, 什么时候开始有英语文学的？（这些都是背景介绍，就像学文言文也要学背景）
When did "English Literature" begin? Any answer to that question must be problematic, for the very concept of English literature is a construction of literary history, a concept that changed over time. There are no "English" characters in Beowulf, and English scholars and authors had no knowledge of the poem before it was discovered and edited in the nineteenth century. Although written in the language called "Anglo-Saxon," the poem was claimed by Danish and German scholars as their earliest national epic before it came to be thought of as an "Old English" poem. One of the results of the Norman Conquest was that the structure and vocabulary of the English language changed to such an extent that Chaucer, even if he had come across a manuscript of Old English poetry, would have experienced far more difficulty construing the language than with medieval Latin, French, or Italian. If a King Arthur had actually lived, he would have spoken a Celtic language possibly still intelligible to native speakers of Middle Welsh but not to Middle English speakers.
