Summary of chapter 8
Coming to terms with an Author
In this chapter, the author states why readers should come to terms with the author, the definition of terms, why the readers have to find key words and how to find key words.
Language is imperfect as a medium for conveying knowledge, therefore, in some way, it functions as an obstacle to communication.To come to terms with the author, you must spot the important words in a book and figure out how the author is using them.The rule5 here is to overcome this obstacle.
Rule 5. find the important words and through them come to terms with the author.
Not all the words an author uses are important. Only those words that he used in a special way are important for him. The most important words are those give you trouble.
You need to find the key words and find the meanings of those words from context.
感悟：
作者問(wèn)：如何找到關(guān)鍵的意思？
答案是：從書中你理解的部分找答案。
知識(shí)的建立是用已知的知識(shí)建立新知識(shí)，理解力也是逐步建立的，用已知的理解力建立新的理解力。
如果想知道作者書中某個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞的意思，查字典是解決不了問(wèn)題的，你只能從書中的到答案。
當(dāng)我們讀原版書的時(shí)候，由于語(yǔ)言的關(guān)系，我們會(huì)碰到生詞。生詞和關(guān)鍵詞是不同的，但是，解決方法是類似的。碰到生詞的時(shí)候，不必著急馬上查字典，因?yàn)橥ㄟ^(guò)閱讀后面的篇章，你也許會(huì)猜出生詞的意思。
本章譯本翻譯問(wèn)題：
The reader who fails to ponder, or at least to mark, the words he does not understand is headed for disaster.
中文譯本中的譯文是：
這個(gè)句子的主干是：The reader is headed for disaster.是說(shuō)這樣的閱讀者會(huì)走向失敗。
而不是說(shuō)這個(gè)字會(huì)帶來(lái)麻煩。
