看英語讀物是提高英語水平的一個很好的方法。接下來向你介紹一些英語閱讀的小技巧。想要發(fā)揮閱讀的最大作用，就要懂得區(qū)分尋讀，略讀，精讀和泛讀。

Reading is an important part of learning English. This guide to how to improve your reading skills will help you improve reading by using skills you use in your own language. In other words, one of the best tips on improving reading is to think about how you read in your own language. Start by thinking about how you read different documents. How do you read the newspaper? How do you read novels? How do you read train schedules? and so on. Taking time to think about this will help give you clues on how to read in English - even if you don't understand every single word.

閱讀是英語學習當中的重要一部分。本文會幫助你通過使用母語閱讀的方法來提高英語閱讀水平。換而言之，最好的技巧之一就是思考你是如何用母語閱讀的。首先，想想你是怎樣閱讀不同文體的。你怎樣看報紙？怎樣看小說？怎樣看火車行程表？等等?；c時間思考這些問題會給你的英語閱讀帶來思路，即使你不懂英語讀物里面的每一個單詞。

Ask yourself this question: Do I read every word in your own language when I am reading a schedule, summary, or other outlining document?

問問自己：看行程表，小結或者其他提綱性文章的時候我是否每個字都看？

The answer is most definitely: No! Reading in English is like reading in your native language. This means that it is not always necessary to read and understand each and every word in English. Remember that reading skills in your native language and English are basically the same.

答案是——“不！” 看英語書籍就像平常用母語閱讀一樣。這意味著你不需要讀懂每字每句。要記住英語閱讀和母語閱讀在根本上是一致的。

Skimming

略讀

Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.

Scanning

尋讀

Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.

尋讀是尋找特定的信息的一種閱讀技巧。大致瀏覽一遍文章，尋找你所需要的信息?？葱谐瘫?，約會計劃等等，使用尋讀能夠讓你得知所需的具體信息。在尋讀過程中，不必擔心遇到不理解的單詞或短語，繼續(xù)讀就好了。
