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。
