Day3
2.音頻學(xué)習(xí)總結(jié)：
The most amazing thing that I have learned from June is the high degree of importance that we should attach to the beginning and ending of a passage.
By translating those useful sentences, I have learned a lot. Not only can it improve my translation skills, but it helps me to broaden my view in finance. And after comparing my translation with the possible version, there are much more efforts that I need to make to plug the gaps of my knowledge.
Another point I should mention is about the attention we have to pay to conjuctions. Because important points may come up right after these words.
Then, the technique to look up a word or to get the hidden meaning of certain words are extremely essential. We can use Google to track down the fixed collocation or better understand the metaphors. Or we can ask some native speaker to explain subtle differences between various words. Hopefully everyone could sweep away the difficult points.
Finally, the effect of extension reading can never be ignored or underestimated. Extension readings provide further information related to a certain reading and sometimes a new perspective to peer into a certain topic.
