Todd: So, Alexandra, you're going to be a lawyer.
Alexandra, 你要做律师吗?
Alexandra: Yes, I am.
对呀
Todd: Very impressive and you're in law school and you were saying that in law school the reading load is very difficult.
真令人钦佩
Alexandra: Yes, for each class you have to read a few thousand pages over the course of three months, a semester, and it can be very difficult because you have five classes or more depending on your schedule so you end up reading from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep and try not to fall sleep in your book, so that can be difficult, so I try to read for awhile, maybe 50 minutes and take a ten minute break, stand up, walk around the room, and then get back to it or else it's too much information. It won't go in my head.
对呀
Todd: Yeah, how do you retain everything?
对,你是如何记住你看过的内容的?
Alexandra: You just go back. You take notes for every 50 minute block. You stand up at the 10 minute block and stretch, come back and try write down what you read and try to, you know, do small little bullet points of what you read and that sort of keeps it in your mind.
回过头再想想
Todd: That's a good strategy. Wow. Do you do anything to actually increase your reading speed?
那是个好方法
Alexandra: No, you can't. With law you have to read each word, because each word has a particular definition. It could be a procedure in a courtroom which has particular steps, so if you omit words, or skip things you might miss the whole point of the case, so you can't speed read as it were. That's why you need to do it, you read for a long time. You just have to be careful and try to take enough breaks to give yourself a rest.
没有,你做不到的
。按常理来说,你必须阅读每个单词,因为每个单词都有它特定的意义 。这可能是有很多特定步骤的法庭审判的其中一步 。所以说如果你少看些单词,或者跳过一些,你都可能会错过整篇文章的某个要点 。所以你不能像之前那样加速阅读 。那就是为什么你需要去做,要阅读很长时间的原因 。你一定要小心,试着给自己些休息时间放松一下 。
