Day 6
總結(jié)反思
這一次針對上一次對時間把握不夠的情況作出了針對性地調(diào)整，設(shè)定每天完成任務(wù)的時間上限，以更高效的目標來要求自己，完成比完美更重要。
第一天依舊針對生詞進行了批注，感覺閱讀速度較上次有了一定的提升，而且對于生詞的分析也有了一定初步的自己的小風(fēng)格，依照導(dǎo)師所言，注重例句和在具體運用中的理解。
第二天的神句翻譯中首先很高興能壓中一定比例的生詞，對自己前一天的努力也在此基礎(chǔ)上進行了鞏固復(fù)習(xí)，但是這次的邏輯導(dǎo)圖卻成了難點，不知是否是自己不適應(yīng)此類型的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，不能跳文章原有思維來進行系統(tǒng)梳理，導(dǎo)致邏輯導(dǎo)圖的一片混亂，所以就沒敢拿出來獻丑，還是根據(jù)導(dǎo)師的邏輯導(dǎo)圖重新進行了理解，對整體篇章結(jié)構(gòu)也有了很深一步的了解，希望下一次碰到此類性文章時能知道其重點所在。
