英文阅读的4个技巧
阅读是学习英语重要的一部分,但许多学生都觉得阅读很难。本次整理的一些建议可以是你通过使用在母语中用到的技巧来帮助你提高阅读。
01
Read for Gist
读主旨
Gist = the main ideas
Gist=主旨,要点
Read the text a first time. Don't stop. Read to understand the main ideas, and don't look up new words. You'll be surprised that you can usually understand the general idea of the story.
首先通读全文。不要中途停下,在阅读的过程中理解主旨,不要查新词。你会惊讶地发现,你总是能够理解故事的大意。
02
Use Context
读上下文
Context refers words and situations that are around a word you don't understand. Look at the example sentence:
上下文指的是围绕一个你不理解地词语地一些词组和语境。请看例句:
I went to the shlumping to buy some chitla for dinner.
What's 'schlumping'? - it must be a store because you bought something there.
Shlumping是什么意思?——它肯定指的是一个商店,因为你是在那儿买东西。
What's 'chitia'? - It must be food because you are going to eat it for dinner.
Chitia是什么意思?它肯定是一种食物,因为你晚餐得吃它。
03
Use Your Own Language
使用自己的母语
One of the best tips on improving reading is to think about how you read in your own language. Start by thinking about how you read different documents. How do you read the newspaper? How do you read novels? How do you read train schedules? and so on. Taking time to think about this will help give you clues on how to read in English - even if you don't understand every single word.
提高阅读最好的方法之一就是,想想自己阅读母语材料的方式是怎样的。先思考你是怎样阅读不同类型的文本。你是怎么读报纸的'?你是怎么读小说的?你是怎么读火车时刻表的?等等。花些时间来思考,这会为你进行英语阅读提供一些线索——即使你并不是每个词都认识。
Ask yourself this question: Do I read every word in your own language when I am reading a schedule, summary, or other outlining document?
问你自己一个问题:当我在读母语的日程表、总结或其他大纲文件时,是逐词阅读吗?
The answer is most definitely: No!
答案肯定是:不!
Reading in English is like reading in your native language. This means that it is not always necessary to read and understand each and every word in English. Remember that reading skills in your native language and English are basically the same.
英语阅读就像你的母语阅读一样。这意味着我们不总是需要阅读并理解英语中的每一个词语。记住,你的母语阅读技巧在英语阅读中也同样适用。
