day 9 思維導(dǎo)圖
day 10 總結(jié) 安妮講解
現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)晚上11點(diǎn)，還有1個(gè)小時(shí)不到就要截至?xí)r間了，然而我現(xiàn)在才開(kāi)始寫總結(jié)。晚上才全部聽(tīng)完安妮兩小時(shí)的講解，在ddl之前我也不知道能整理出來(lái)多少。。。
看到第一篇文章是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人，心情有點(diǎn)復(fù)雜，一方面終于是自己熟悉的文體了，另一方面也知道自己又要受到經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人體的折磨——時(shí)不時(shí)冒出來(lái)的生詞，俚語(yǔ)，復(fù)雜的句式，還有些時(shí)候單詞都認(rèn)識(shí)，連起來(lái)也看不懂。
第一遍看完大概用了半個(gè)多少小時(shí)吧，讀完還是有點(diǎn)蒙蒙的。感覺(jué)和自己預(yù)期的不太一樣啊。在我印象中，講到新能源更多的應(yīng)該是關(guān)于綠色、節(jié)能、環(huán)保、環(huán)境變化之類的關(guān)鍵詞。這篇文章初讀下來(lái)的感覺(jué)就是在講市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)？新能源與傳統(tǒng)能源的關(guān)系？用電的供求關(guān)系？但是他們之間的具體關(guān)系還真是理不清，道不明。
晚上把單詞查完，果然遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了20個(gè)，沒(méi)辦法，詞匯量的短板總是得慢慢補(bǔ)上啊~
第二天，從上午開(kāi)始盼星星盼月亮等安妮老師的語(yǔ)音講解，到了傍晚也沒(méi)見(jiàn)安妮老師發(fā)，迎著頭皮自己梳理了一下最終還是放棄了。作為彌補(bǔ)，作了新能源單詞的思維導(dǎo)圖。
今天聽(tīng)完音頻，對(duì)安妮老師真的佩服的五體投地。一方面，安妮老師總是能夠把文章看的很透，進(jìn)過(guò)她的梳理，一條脈絡(luò)就整理的羅列在你的面前；另一方面，在語(yǔ)言方面的講解也十分到位，各種同義詞、單詞的來(lái)世今生、俚語(yǔ)俗語(yǔ)、句法也都信手拈來(lái)。
關(guān)于文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，今天體會(huì)最深的是安妮老師講的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人的邏輯十分嚴(yán)密，上下銜接沒(méi)有絲毫漏風(fēng)。之前對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人的文章的精讀從沒(méi)有做到如此深入，并不能完全賞析他的美吧。
對(duì)于這個(gè)內(nèi)容，覺(jué)得文章的切入點(diǎn)還是很新穎又很有現(xiàn)實(shí)意義的，尤其是對(duì)我這樣一個(gè)小白來(lái)說(shuō)。就像之前說(shuō)的，在人們的刻板印象中，新能源又環(huán)保又便宜，干嘛不用。我也從從來(lái)沒(méi)有從市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)或者投資的角度來(lái)質(zhì)疑過(guò)其背后的真相。
這也讓我想到了之前看的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人的一版講的是克隆的歷史變遷，也給自己好好上了一課。主要是自己一直停留在多利、轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的階段，雖然這個(gè)話題一直很熱，卻也沒(méi)深入的了解其發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀和理論?？傊?，在以后的學(xué)習(xí)中，我還是應(yīng)該多問(wèn)一些為什么。

day 11 補(bǔ)充閱讀
剛剛讀補(bǔ)充材料的時(shí)候很驚喜。原來(lái)考慮到原文文本的難度，給自己設(shè)定了1小時(shí)讀補(bǔ)充材料，但是發(fā)現(xiàn)上手格外快，大概10分鐘就看完了，而且結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯很清楚。
這應(yīng)該歸功于把原文這塊大骨頭啃下來(lái)吧。之前對(duì)于新能源的了解比較膚淺，關(guān)于市場(chǎng)、邊際效益等也十分陌生，文中很多詞雖然反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，但是很難搞明白到底是什么意思。
但是經(jīng)過(guò)三天的文本熟悉，尤其是對(duì)這個(gè)話題的熟悉，使得我在補(bǔ)充閱讀時(shí)如魚得水。
這仿佛也是啟示我，想要背一個(gè)專題的單詞、了解一個(gè)行業(yè)的知識(shí)，你還是得把自己拋入到那個(gè)環(huán)境中，熟悉、了解、運(yùn)用，才能事半功倍。
之前覺(jué)得安妮選的專題都離我太遠(yuǎn)，現(xiàn)在覺(jué)得真的很有用。
