字词句段
However,in 1972,which was the last full year of fighting, Navy fighter pilots shot down an average of 1.04 jets per encounter. In other words, on average, every time navy pilots came in contact with the enemy they would down an enemy plane.
然而,在1972年,一个充满了战斗的一年, 海军空战飞行员在对战中平均击落1.04架飞机。换句话说,平均下来,海军飞行员每次遭遇敌军都可以击落对方的一架飞机。
这句话是写作的一个绝佳范例——转折,结论+解释。其实数据结论和紧接着的解释充满了同义替换——就是把一句话换个更通俗直观方法说而已,但这给我们写作中的扩充提供了一个很好的思路——有时候写不出话了,就换个方法把这个句子再说一遍……
encounter v.遭遇(困难的事/不爽的事);偶然遇到/邂逅
上句话取的是它第二个意思(我猜)
总结这个词的常见搭配如下:
commonly/frequently/regularly encounter 经常遇到
normally encounter 正常遭遇
occasionally/rarely/never encounter 偶尔/很少/从未遇到
be likely to encounter...很可能遇到(e.g. what r the difficulties u r mostly like to encounter?)
an average of +n 平均是...
on average 按平均值(一般前置/放句首)(e.g. On average, prices of books has risen 6%.)
The catch was, of course, that the cost of that sort of on-the-job training was unacceptably high. The navy was losing one plane for every two planes it managed to shoot down, and at one point it became an even trade—losing a plane for every enemy plane that was shot down.
The catch was that.. 问题是.. (e.g. The catch was that everyone is doomed to die.)
at one point 在某一时刻,一度 (e.g. At one point I think she is going to refuse, but in the end she agrees.)
阅读感想
这次笔者主要讲了王牌飞行员的训练奇迹,将它和外科医生的漫长且低效的学习过程进行对比,并尝试将王牌飞行员的训练办法用于训练医生的故事。
上来先摒弃了一些学习误区,寻求思维模式的改变,而不是一切照旧——
“我不行”
“你只是看起来很努力”——花很多时间重复做机械的工作,而且足够刻苦——结果就是停滞甚至是倒退
最快的学习方法,当然是实践出真知咯,实战,实战!在日常的生活和工作当中,磨炼自己的技能~~事实上企业界的大牛也都是这样做的。
我们在中学阶段总是充满了层出不穷的期中期末、月考周考、以及当堂测验——这就是传说中的即时反馈,检测知识的掌握度,这就是应试教育的双刃剑咯——一方面,它刻意强化了“知识”,另一方面 ,它最不重视“技能”(明天要阅读的部分)
然而步入大学以后,即时的反馈真的很少很少,一个学期没怎么听课往往是期末了才会面临一个“反馈”。这让临时抱佛脚的人为难。还有不到一年就毕业了,感觉甚至有些不敢对自己做些测试或者反馈——又很容易陷入之前“很努力,但就是基因里的不自信”的怪圈。
不如给自己定个小目标,在学习的时候常常问问自己下面这些问题——
..my basic advice is to look for one that follows the principles of deliberate practice: Does it push people to get outside their comfort zones and attempt to do things that are not easy for them? Does it offer immediate feedback on the performance and on what can be done to improve it? Have those who developed the approach identified the best performers in that particular area and determined what sets them apart from everyone else? Is the practice designed to develop the particular skills that experts in the field possess?
有没有逼我走出舒适区?有没有提供即时反馈?有没有找到行业中最杰出的人物?有没有找到那些杰出的人区别于普通人的因素?训练有没有被用于提高那些杰出的人拥有的特殊技巧?
嗨呀,在英语学习中,一般能回答前三个问题就很好了,不过自己慢慢发现了第四个问题的点,第五个问题还在思考中!啦啦啦
