关于英语阅读和人生
一、关于阅读
（一）读原版书的目的：
1. 信息（读得懂）；
2. 语言（学到手）；
3. 读书，顺便学英文。
（二）如何选择阅读书
1. 兴趣；2.他人推荐；3.评分Goodreads, 豆瓣
（三）如何读
1. 读感兴趣的书，读几本换一个口味。是否值得读，认真读完前两章。（月亮与六便士）
2. 设立正确期待。不要指望句句都是干货；不要指望能够100%读懂；不要指望能够掌握所有的语言点。These are just my two cents. （这只是我的观点）
3. 设定阅读计划。（心中有数）Less is more, slow is fast.
4. 读一遍再读一遍
第一遍掌握框架，文章说了什么事？哪里没读懂，学到了什么。第二遍解决问题，积累素材。遇到不懂的地方是死磕还是live with it,答案是后者。不要纠结，不是所有词都要读懂，生僻的词积累了但用的机会非常少，所以只记住你最想记的表达就可以了。可以在读的过程中标记高频词出现的次数，反复出现的就值得记下来，而且要查阅背诵和仿写。我的做法是把句子写在单词卡片上，随身携带随时翻阅，上厕所的时候可以拿出来背一背。不在乎时间和地点，学习的热情和效果最重要。哈哈！谨记Don’t bite more than you can chew.
5. 高级玩法
练听力和发音，听有声书（Audible）；听播客，看采访；读中英文书评；回译；讲故事。书的主人是你，创造性的读。把读过的东西讲出来就是真正的明白了。
（四）shoedog中值得学习的英文
Eric的two cents:复杂的事情简单做，简单的事情重复做，重复的事情用心做。在阅读中学词汇，不要急于查字典，一定要在语境中理解。要按语块记忆，学完造句；一种表达你会怎么说，还可以怎么说；按需学习，量力而行；哪些词值得记，词汇的敏感度；把英语表达当朋友，读后立刻产生联想，特别形象、别扭、好玩，用的上的表达要记住；幽默也可以学习...
下面是我学到的表达：
1. I was up. 我醒了；Red bull can keep you up.

（五）关于人生，Eric的心灵鸡汤
Don't stop. Don't even think about stopping until you get there, and don't give much thought to where "there" is. Whatever comes, just don't stop.
Seeking a calling. Even if you don't know what that means, seeek it. If you are following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointments will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you've ever felt.
You can only count on yourself.
我的理解：经济独立，精神独立，身体健康，做好自己。坚持健身和学习！
