感悟:
如果把讀書(shū)比作旅行区拳,檢視閱讀就像是做旅游攻略, 探索你的目的地是否值得一游意乓。哪些地方值得你花時(shí)間深度游樱调;哪些地方根本不值得去,哪些地方到此一游届良。
去書(shū)店買(mǎi)書(shū)的時(shí)候笆凌,選書(shū)的過(guò)程就是一次檢視閱讀,只是你沒(méi)有意識(shí)到士葫。檢視閱讀是提升閱讀必備技能菩颖,直接影響你的進(jìn)階。
從這章的閱讀中可以發(fā)現(xiàn)很多閱讀誤區(qū)为障,總結(jié)出來(lái)晦闰,跟大家學(xué)習(xí)。
誤區(qū)1:在讀有一定難度的書(shū)是鳍怨,我們往往把精力耗費(fèi)在我們不懂的地方呻右,拼命去查字典,查參考書(shū)鞋喇,一本書(shū)最后無(wú)疾而終声滥。
因?yàn)橐槐居须y度的書(shū),要通過(guò)多次閱讀才能完成侦香。正確的閱讀姿勢(shì)是:不要停在你不懂的地方落塑,一直讀完,一定要讀完第一遍罐韩,也許第一遍只掌握了50%或者更少憾赁,但是第二遍你一定會(huì)理解的更多。
誤區(qū)2: 盯在不懂的地方一動(dòng)不動(dòng)散吵,是不會(huì)有進(jìn)展的龙考,問(wèn)題不會(huì)因?yàn)槟憧吹臅r(shí)間長(zhǎng)就有答案的蟆肆,只有繼續(xù)閱讀,才有可能找到答案晦款。
誤區(qū)3: 書(shū)讀的越慢越好炎功。總以為書(shū)摳的越細(xì)越好缓溅,不同的書(shū)有不同的讀法蛇损,讀書(shū)太細(xì),就會(huì)只見(jiàn)樹(shù)不目見(jiàn)森林坛怪。重點(diǎn)在哪里淤齐,精力就放在哪里。
誤區(qū)4:拿到一本書(shū)就從頭開(kāi)始讀酝陈。
值得細(xì)嚼慢咽的好書(shū)實(shí)在太少了,作者在書(shū)中書(shū)毁涉,如果每本書(shū)都一個(gè)字一個(gè)字從頭讀到尾沉帮,這是一件不可想象的事情。
“Too often, there are things we have to read that are not really worth spending a lot of time reading; if we cannot read them quickly, it will be a terrible waste of time. ”
在檢視閱讀中自己要注意的幾點(diǎn):
1. 檢視閱讀的第一步”look at the page”贫堰,不是看看封面穆壕,看看副標(biāo)題就完了,最重要的是要把手頭上的這本書(shū)跟之前讀的書(shū)形成關(guān)聯(lián)其屏,為將來(lái)主題閱讀做準(zhǔn)備喇勋。
2. index的重要性: 我之前從來(lái)沒(méi)有看過(guò)index, 跟沒(méi)有去查過(guò)原文段落,index 的確會(huì)讓你更容易抓住作者的觀點(diǎn)偎行。
比如這本書(shū)索引川背,19頁(yè)引用Bacon的原文是:Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
3. 大部分書(shū)不需要精讀: 學(xué)會(huì)檢視閱讀,找對(duì)精讀書(shū)目蛤袒,好書(shū)不多
4. 檢視閱讀的方法知道了熄云,比不意味著你掌握了這項(xiàng)技能,多應(yīng)用妙真。原版書(shū)可能會(huì)比較吃力缴允,可以在中文書(shū)上多嘗試。
下一步計(jì)劃是把家里沒(méi)有讀過(guò)的書(shū)拿出來(lái)珍德,用檢視閱讀的方法练般,分出速度書(shū)目和精讀書(shū)目。解讀囤積的圖書(shū)锈候。
今日小進(jìn)步:用PS做了四個(gè)閱讀層次的圖薄料,表示包含關(guān)系
