盡管圖書的種類多種多樣，但從本質(zhì)上說，它們都可以被分為 兩大類,即紀(jì)實題材(fact)與小說題材。有時二者之間很難辨別，因為許多小說都是圍繞著(mixed)現(xiàn)實事件和真實人物來進行創(chuàng)作的。 紀(jì)實題材的書籍包括:歷史書，教科書，旅行手記，手冊指南(manual) 和自傳(autobiography)等。
There are many, many different types of books but, essentially, fliey come in two categories, fact or fiction. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between the two, because some fiction stories are mixed around true event and refer to real life people. The types of books that are included in the factual category are history books, text books, travel books, manuals and autobiographies.
