一. 如何利用原版书学英文
清楚自己读原版书的目的,是为了读懂信息,学习语言,还是读书顺便学点英文?
1. 要选择自己感兴趣的书,不要跟自己死磕,也可以尝试别人推荐的书,或者看看GOODREADS,比尔盖茨网站上有哪些好书。
2. 设立正确的期待值。不要指望句句都是干货,不要指望能够100%读懂,不要指望掌握所有的语言点。
3. 要学会制定计划,做到心中有数地阅读。
4. 读一遍,再读一遍,第一遍要知道说了什么事,哪里没读懂,学到了什么,第二遍解读问题,积累素材。
5. 高级玩法。如果你想练习听力和发音就去听有声书。还可以看播客,看采访,读中英文书评;回译,如果你想练翻译的话;讲故事,把英语用起来,可以作为自己今后的一种谈资。但要记住,don't bite more than you can chew!
二. 英语阅读思路
1. 读得懂不代表你也会,简单的东西其实并不简单。如果你没用过这个词,就把它当生词对待。
2. 在阅读中学习词汇,一定要用在语境中理解,不要急着查字典,先猜一下意思,再查字典。
3. 哪些词值得记?这是词汇的一种敏感度,只有大量输入后,大量输出时这种敏感度才会提高。
4. 把英语表达当做朋友,每个表达都是你的独家记忆。
5. 该记的词会让人立刻产生联想,联想到过去知识和未来场景。形象,别扭,好玩,用得上。
6. 按语块记忆,经常问一下自己:你会怎么说?还可以怎么说?
7. 你是自己书的主人, 不要过分在意别人的看法,读书是为自己而读。
8. 阅读时给自己一个场景,做个有心人。
9. 擅用搜索,利用电子书。
10. 该遇到的总会遇到,随缘。(表达)
三. shoe dog中的地道表达:
1. made of money: rich.
2. Luck plays a big role.
3. I was saddened.
4.shoot=shit. shoot 是一种委婉语。
5. on paper, 表面上,纸上谈兵。The plan works well on paper.
6. hoop star= basketball star. I am a hoops fan.
7. get hung up on. 纠结,过于关心。be fixated on/ be obsessing about
8. toy with...随便一想。wrestle with... 绞尽脑汁地想
9. live on a shoestring budget.
10. land mine 原意地雷,可引申为 麻烦,不好的东西。

11. put on the line. 冒险,全力以赴。
12. prior knowledge. 过去的知识
13. frame= set up. 设计圈套
14.I fired of a letter. immediately
15. He math was solid=good. solid 还可表示人很靠谱。

23. be at loggerheads with you= be at odds with. 意见不一致(斯)
24. make it up as we went along/ wing it.
25. peace was prosperity. peace feeds on prosperity, fortune favors the brave.
四. 精彩段落。
1. Don't stop. Don't even think about stopping until you get "there", and don't give too much thought to where "there" is. Whatever comes, just don't stop.
2. Seek a calling. Even if you don't know what that means, seek it. If you are following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointment will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you've ever felt.
希望自己能逐渐改掉拖延这个坏毛病,最好能在第二天之前就完成复盘。总之,这次分享会收获满满,在这里既学英语又学人生,seek a calling 吧,想想自己真正的内驱力是什么。
