Reflection一周復(fù)盤
下棋的高手都有復(fù)盤的習(xí)慣。其他領(lǐng)域同樣如此。
那么什么是復(fù)盤呢？??象棋和圍棋術(shù)語(yǔ)。每次博弈結(jié)束以后，雙方棋手把剛才的對(duì)局再重復(fù)一遍，這樣可以有效地加深對(duì)這盤對(duì)弈的印象，也可以找出雙方攻守的漏洞，是提高自己水平的好方法。棋手平時(shí)在訓(xùn)練的時(shí)候大多數(shù)時(shí)間并不是在和別人博殺，而應(yīng)該把大量的時(shí)間用在復(fù)盤上。
在股票市場(chǎng)中，簡(jiǎn)單說(shuō)，復(fù)盤是一種分析方式，收盤后再靜態(tài)的看一遍市場(chǎng)全貌，觀察各種細(xì)節(jié)，研究所有漲跌，通過(guò)推演得出更接近本質(zhì)的認(rèn)識(shí)。
我們現(xiàn)在說(shuō)的復(fù)盤，就是在頭腦中對(duì)過(guò)去所做的事情重新“過(guò)”一遍。
為什么要復(fù)盤？1.寫下自己過(guò)去的不足，避免犯同樣的錯(cuò)誤? ?2.可以固化一些流程，提升效率
3.更有目的性，清楚自己的目的是什么。4.發(fā)現(xiàn)新知識(shí)和新思路。? 5.實(shí)現(xiàn)能力的提升
怎么復(fù)盤呢？? 對(duì)過(guò)去的思維和行為進(jìn)行回顧，反思和探究，實(shí)現(xiàn)能力的提升。
回顧目標(biāo)：每天完成筆記和點(diǎn)評(píng)，且盡可能高質(zhì)量。
結(jié)果比對(duì)：每天任務(wù)完成，但是質(zhì)量和學(xué)習(xí)有待提高。
打算：中文感悟繼續(xù)保持，英文感悟自己試著每天寫一點(diǎn)，實(shí)在不想寫，在寫完每日筆記后，用其他書做回譯練習(xí)，比如新概念3，順便根據(jù)學(xué)到的自己試著分析一下里面好的文章。
（Eric也提到過(guò)新概念第四冊(cè)第18課的開(kāi)頭結(jié)尾的分析：第一句：海員中流傳著一種迷信的說(shuō)法。? ?---吸引人看下去：這篇文章是給你科普的，你來(lái)讀一讀吧！---第二句：引用權(quán)威，說(shuō)出事實(shí)。第三句：繼續(xù)補(bǔ)充事實(shí)。結(jié)尾也恰當(dāng)好處。）
收獲+實(shí)踐：來(lái)自Eric-讀書中要回答的幾個(gè)問(wèn)題：
1. 書中講的是啥，讀懂了嗎？如果你不能用自己的話把作者的觀點(diǎn)說(shuō)出來(lái)，就是沒(méi)讀懂。
2. 書中講得對(duì)嗎？他這么說(shuō)的理由是啥？沒(méi)給理由的話就只是他的“個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)”。
3. 書中說(shuō)的這個(gè)事和我有啥關(guān)系？有啥用？我們讀書，是平等地和作者交流。我們不是圍著作者轉(zhuǎn)，而是把重心放在自己身上。
寫作學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)與踐行5條：
1.寫完至少檢查1遍，如果語(yǔ)句不通順還有錯(cuò)別字，那就太粗心了。嚴(yán)格的寫作則要反復(fù)修改。
2.simplicity，刪掉繁雜冗長(zhǎng)的無(wú)用修飾。不是說(shuō)句子一定要短，而是要清楚，要讓every word tell。如果這個(gè)詞沒(méi)有什么用，就刪掉。
3.用詞謹(jǐn)慎精確，注意詞的節(jié)奏和韻律感。
4.統(tǒng)一性：人稱的統(tǒng)一? 時(shí)態(tài)的統(tǒng)一? 語(yǔ)氣的統(tǒng)一? ?
4.圍繞一個(gè)中心從小處寫
5.開(kāi)頭吸引人，并說(shuō)明為何寫作、讀者為何要讀。
注意段落之間的關(guān)系與銜接。每一段的最后一句要有亮點(diǎn)，最好形成過(guò)渡。
在觀點(diǎn)和事實(shí)都說(shuō)完之后，盡早結(jié)束。結(jié)尾繼續(xù)讓人回味。
Summary
Writing is a craft. The essence of writing is rewriting, and it's hard work. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no clutter, no unnecessary words. This requires not that you make all sentences short, but that every word tell. Also, readers want the person who is talking to them to sound genuine. Therefore, be yourself. You are writing primarily to please yourself, and if you go about it with enjoyment you will also entertain the readers who are worth writing for. Besides, you should give weight to words and rhythm. Good usage consists of using good words that already existed to express yourself clearly and simply to others. In order to avoid confusing the readers, you should pay attention to the unity of pronoun, tense and mood. The most important sentence in any article is the lead and the ending. Good writing has an aliveness that keeps the reader reading from the lead to the ending.
