灯影

Read the words.
Light the film.

读进故事，点亮光影。

The great classics, told again as animated films — films that only exist because readers light them, scene by scene. Read in English and Chinese, prove you understood, and the scene you lit begins to move.

世界经典名著，重新化作动画电影——而这些电影，只因读者一幕一幕地点亮，才得以存在。中英双语对照阅读，证明你读懂了，你点亮的那一幕，便开始动起来。

The reading room 书房

It is a truth有一条真理 universally acknowledged,举世公认 that a single man凡是单身男子 in possession of a good fortune,家财丰厚 must be in want必定想要 of a wife.娶妻

What is such a man said to be in want of?

这样的男子被认为一定想要什么？

你点亮了第一盏灯

You just lit your first lantern. In Dengying, every scene of every film is made exactly this way — readers prove they read, and the scene is green-lit into existence.

How it works · 灯是怎么点亮的

Reading is the flame 读书即点灯

Read逐句注释 Every classic in English and Chinese — either as your main text, the other floating above it, line by line. 每部经典都是中英双语——任选一种作正文，另一种逐行悬浮在上方作注。
Prove读懂才算数 A short comprehension check closes each ~3-minute section. Reading counts only when it's understood. 每读完约三分钟的一节，做一个小小的理解测验——读懂了，才算数。
Light点亮光影 Your pass green-lights that scene of the animated film. Watch what your reading made. 通过测验，就点亮了这一幕的动画电影。看看你的阅读，创造了什么。
No scene is animated until readers earn it. That isn't a paywall — it's how these films get made at all. Every frame exists because someone read, understood, and lit the lantern. Founding Readers light first. 没有读者点亮，任何一幕都不会被制作。这不是付费墙——这正是这些电影诞生的方式。每一帧画面，都因为有人读懂了而存在。创始读者，最先点灯。

Questions

Fair to ask 常见问题

Is reading free? · 阅读免费吗？

At launch, the first book is free to read forever — quizzes, gloss, and all. A founding seat is for the whole library and every film you light, for life.

上线后，第一本书永久免费阅读——注释与测验一应俱全。创始席位，买的是整个书房与你点亮的所有电影，终身有效。

My English is still weak. Is this for me? · 我英语还不好，适合我吗？

It's built for you. Chinese floats above every English line, so you are never lost — and both directions work: 中文 main with English gloss, or the reverse.

这正是为你设计的。每一行英文上方都悬浮着中文注释，你永远不会迷路。两个方向都内置：以中文为主、英文作注，或反过来。同样的书，同样的电影，随你选择。

Where are the films? · 电影在哪里？

Being lit. Scenes are animated only after readers earn them — that's the whole idea. Founding Readers' reading green-lights the first film, and your name goes in its credits. You're not buying a catalog; you're lighting one.

正在点亮中。只有读者先读懂，场景才会被制作——这正是整个理念。创始读者的阅读，将点亮第一部电影，而你的名字会写进片尾字幕。你买的不是片库，而是亲手点亮它。

What if it isn't for me? · 如果不适合我怎么办？
