寫(xiě)在前面：
這本書(shū)的名聲很大，大家的評(píng)價(jià)也很高。可謂是經(jīng)典中的經(jīng)典。其實(shí)以前也翻了翻，不過(guò)有點(diǎn)看不進(jìn)去。不過(guò)，下面這個(gè)導(dǎo)圖倒是一直存在我的手機(jī)里。
希望能通過(guò)這次的閱讀，能夠提升閱讀的能力，增強(qiáng)理解力。希望以后看書(shū)的時(shí)候能夠走點(diǎn)心...
Thoughts:
1.
作者對(duì)讀書(shū)的藝術(shù)的定義如下：
Thus we can roughly define what we mean by the art of readingas follows:
the process whereby a mind, with nothing to operate on butthe symbols of the readable matter, and with no help from outside,* elevates itself by the power of its own operations.The mind passes from understanding less to understanding more.The skilled operationsthat cause this tohappen are the various acts that constitute the art of reading.To pass from understanding less to understanding morebyyour own intellectual effortin reading is something like pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
大意是通過(guò)自身的努力，并且需要一些技巧，來(lái)增強(qiáng)理解力。
2.
作者說(shuō)讀書(shū)有3個(gè)目的：獲取知識(shí)，理解力，娛樂(lè)。并且講了這3個(gè)目的的區(qū)別。提出讀書(shū)要讀拔高一些的，能讓自己真正有所提升的，而不是干癟癟的新聞，雜志類(lèi)信息。類(lèi)似于i+1方法。
3.
文章確實(shí)有些啰嗦，有些話(huà)都在重復(fù)。有時(shí)想想，這類(lèi)工具類(lèi)的書(shū)，直接讀中文不是更爽快，更能學(xué)到想學(xué)的東西。
不過(guò)，從學(xué)點(diǎn)兒英文的角度，讀原版未嘗不是件好事。
4.
書(shū)里說(shuō)instruction=aided discovery. 確實(shí)，讀書(shū)學(xué)習(xí)這回事，老師只能起個(gè)引子作用，接下的路還得自己走。知識(shí)要自己去吸收、內(nèi)化、成長(zhǎng)。
5.特別喜歡下面這句話(huà)：
Thinking is only one part of the activity of learning. One must also use one’s senses and imagination.
The art of reading, in short, includes all of thesame skills that are involved in the art of unaided discovery:keenness of observation, readily available memory, range of imagination, and, of course, an intellect trained in analysis and reflection.
閱讀需要思考，需要感官，需要想象力。
6.
自己總結(jié)：讀書(shū)的藝術(shù)應(yīng)該是經(jīng)過(guò)思考來(lái)進(jìn)行積極讀書(shū)，并運(yùn)用一些技巧，如想象力，并依靠自己來(lái)增強(qiáng)理解力。
