你是否一看到純英語(yǔ)的文章就信心全無(wú)、直冒冷汗?我們?cè)趧傞_始接觸英語(yǔ)閱讀時(shí),由于詞匯量的限制,在碰到英文中夾雜著不認(rèn)識(shí)的詞匯時(shí),會(huì)立刻感到無(wú)從下手,難以繼續(xù)往下閱讀。其實(shí),即使是一些頗有自信的讀者,也常會(huì)對(duì)一些生僻的專業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)束手無(wú)策。以下這五個(gè)小技巧,可以幫助你進(jìn)行有效的閱讀。
Be prepared
Never rush straight into reading. Before you begin, look at the title and any pictures. This will give you a good idea of the topic. Think about what you already know. Next, predict what the reading will be about. Think about what you want to learn and write down any questions you may have. Preparing yourself for the reading in this way will get you started before the first page is even turned.
事先準(zhǔn)備
不要匆忙地直接閱讀,在你開始閱讀前,先看一下標(biāo)題和圖片,這將讓你對(duì)主題有一個(gè)很好的認(rèn)識(shí) ,想想從中你已經(jīng)得知的信息。下一步,推測(cè)一下這篇文章在說(shuō)些什么,想想你要學(xué)些什么,并寫下你在閱讀中可能會(huì)碰到的問題。為閱讀做好自身的準(zhǔn)備,可以幫助你預(yù)測(cè)下文的內(nèi)容。
At first sight
Now that youve got a general idea of the topic, you can begin. Read the entire text over once without stopping. Dont worry about the details just yet. In the beginning, all you should be trying to do is get a feeling for the main idea. This is called skimming. When youre done, think about how much youve understood and remembered.
初次接觸
現(xiàn)在你已經(jīng)對(duì)主題有了大概的了解,可以開始你的閱讀了,一旦開始閱讀就不要停下來(lái)。你目前先不要擔(dān)心細(xì)節(jié)問題,剛開始的時(shí)候,你應(yīng)該試著抓住文章的主旨,這就是skimming(略讀)。當(dāng)你閱讀完全部文章后,想想看你理解并記住了多少。
Its all in the details
Remember those questions you wrote down before? Now its time to find the answers. Read the text again, but this time, read it slowly and carefully. Look for any words or phrases that relate to your questions. This is called scanning. If you come across anything else thats interesting and important, underline that too. Once youre finished, you should have a fuller understanding of the text.
詳細(xì)閱讀
還記得你前面寫下的那些問題嗎?現(xiàn)在就是尋找答案的時(shí)間了。請(qǐng)?jiān)匍喿x一遍文章,但是這一次,你需要緩慢認(rèn)真地閱讀,尋找跟你的問題有關(guān)的任何詞匯或句子,這就是scanning(查閱)。如果你看到任何你認(rèn)為有興趣或重要的部分,那就用筆標(biāo)注下來(lái)。一旦完成這遍閱讀,你對(duì)文章應(yīng)該會(huì)有一個(gè)更全面的了解。endprint
