And you don't have to get stuck on the details.
你不需要被细节所困住。
It's great to test yourself and to look up words and to read out loud sometimes.
有时候测试一下自己，查阅单词，然后大声念出来，也很有用。
If you try to understand every single word in the book, you might never finish it, right?
如果你想要理解书里的每一个单词的话，你可能永远也无法读完，是吧？
It's going to be a lot of work to get there.
要读完的话，得付出很多的努力。
You know, you want to make sure that you understand the main story line,
你懂得，你想要确保你理解了主要的故事线，
and if you aren't sure of a word or two, but you understand the general idea of the sentence, then you can try and guess the meaning of the word and move on,
如果你不确定其中的一两个单词，但是理解了整个句子的大概意思的话，那你就可以试着去猜一下单词的意思，然后继续阅读，
you don't have to know absolutely everything!
不需要知道一切的！
And that's true, even when I read books in English, there will be words that I don't recognise or words that I don't use that often,
那是真的，甚至是当我读英文书的时候，都会有我不认识的单词，或者是不怎么经常使用的单词，
words that are used by Americans that we don't really use that much here, but I don't have to stop and look up the meaning of every word.
美国人可能会使用那些单词，而我们这里并不怎么经常使用，但是我并不需要停下来查每个单词的意思。
I just, you know, read through the story, try to piece it together.
我只是读完整个故事，试着将信息拼凑起来。
Unless it's something that is really, really, crucial or important to the story, I don't need to know the exact meaning.
除非这对于故事情节非常非常重要，否则我并不需要确切的意思。
Now for you as an English learner, if there are too many unknown words on the page, and you really don't have a good idea of what's happening in the story,
对于你这个英语学习者而言，如果一页上有很多生词，你真的不知道这个故事发生了什么的话，
then it's possible that this text is too advanced for you.
很有可能这个文本对你而言太难了。
So try reading something with less unknown words first.Right?
那就试着读一些里面生词少一些的文本吧。
If a word seems really important or really interesting, but you've still got a bit of an idea of what's going on in the story, then just circle it and move on,
如果一个单词看起来非常重要，或者是非常有趣，但是你已经懂了一点点故事情节发展的话，那就圈出来，然后继续阅读，
you can come back to it and look it up later.
你可以之后回来再查阅这个单词的。
Don't let it stop you.
不要因为这而停止。
Okay so the first tips that we went through will help you to get started,
好的，所以我们说的第一个技巧会帮助大家迈出第一步，
I want you to just commit to reading and to dive into a book and to really just focus on enjoying the journey.
我希望大家要认认真真地阅读，全身心沉浸在一本书里，然后专注于享受整个过程。
As we said before, reading in general is already going to be improving your English skills, right?
正如我们之前所说过的，阅读能够提升你的英语技能，对吧？
But if you want to take a more proactive approach to reading, then the next few tips are going to help you to push your English skills a little further.
但是如果你想要采取更加积极主动的方法进行阅读的话，那么接下来的几个技巧将会帮助你的英语技能更上一层楼。
Read out loud.
大声阅读。
One of the most effective ways to learn anything is to combine different styles of learning right?
学习的非常有效的方式之一就是结合不同的学习方法，对吧？
This is how we supercharge learning.
我们可以深化学习的效果。
So for example, if you are reading something while listening to it, so choosing your favourite book and then finding it on Audible.
比如说，如果你想在阅读的同时又进行聆听的话，那就可以选择一本你最喜欢的书，然后在Audible上面寻找一下。
Audible's got over two hundred thousand books there so the chances of you finding your favourites is pretty high.
Audible上面有超过20万本书，所以你很有可能找到自己喜欢的。
But then you could take it one step further.
但是你可以更进一步。
Read it while you're listening to it and say the words at the same time.
在听的时候大声读出来，同时说出那些单词。
Doing all of this is supercharging your learning.
同时做这些能够深化你的学习效果。
There are so many good things that are happening here at once.
有很多有益的事情在同时发生。
Your mind's taking in information in multiple ways,
你的大脑在以不同的方式吸纳信息，
your muscles in your mouth are remembering how to pronounce or how to make the sounds correctly
你嘴部的肌肉在记忆如何正确地发音，
because you're listening to them at the same time.
因为你同时也在听。
Now this might not be the best option if you are reading in a quiet library or on a bus on the way to work, that kind of thing.
如果你在安静的图书馆或者是去工作路上的公交车上读书的话，这可能不是最好的选择。
But you'll find a way to make it work!
但是你总能找到可以这么做的方式的！
I'm sure of it.
我敢打包票。
My last tip is to test yourself.
我的最后一个技巧呢就是测试一下你自己。
I've given you quite a few tips already today but I want to give you a tip that's going to help you take your reading from pleasure into study.
我今天已经给了大家很多技巧，但是我要介绍的技巧能够帮助大家将阅读从快乐进阶到学习。
And there's a time and a place for this, right?
总会有合适的机会这么做的，是吧？
Sometimes we just want to relax and unwind, but other times you might be ready to like roll up your sleeves and really dive in and understand how the language is being used.
有时我们只是想放松一下，但是在其他的时候你可能准备好卷起袖子，将自己完全沉浸其中，理解语言是如何使用的。
So when you're in the mood, test yourself.
当你在沉浸在那种情绪的时候，测试一下自己。
Even if you're not reading next to a teacher it doesn't mean that you can't pause to ask yourselves questions about the text and check that you've understood it correctly, right?
即使你并没有在老师旁边阅读，也并不意味着你不能停下来问自己几个关于文本的问题，检查一下你是不是理解正确了，对吧？
So one way to do this is to open a book at a random page, read a paragraph, close the book, write down some of the key points that you remember from that paragraph and then go back and study it in detail.
其中的一种方式就是随便打开一本书的某一页，读其中的一段，合上书，写下你记忆中关于那段的关键点，然后回去详细地检查一下。
Did you miss anything important?
你是不是忽略了什么重要的信息？
This is a really good way to practise your comprehension skills, even if you're on your own, it is possible for you to do this.
这是练习理解技能的非常有用的方式，即使你自己一个人，也可以这么做。
There might be a word that you've not have heard of before.
可能有一个你之前都没有听说过的单词。
You don't know the meaning of it.
你不知道是什么意思。
But instead of looking it up straight away, look at the words around it and try and guess what the meaning is before you check.
但是你可以先不直接去查这个单词，而是看看周围的单词，试着猜猜到底是什么意思。
Maybe you know the word, but you haven't seen it used in that context before, right?
可能你认识这个单词，但是你没有见过在这样一个语境中进行使用，对吧？
So look it up.
那就查一下吧。
Try writing a sentence with this new definition.
试着用这个新的定义造一个句子。
These types of questions that you ask yourself are going to help you check your understanding and then also go a little deeper into the text.
问自己这些类型的问题能够帮助你检查你的阅读理解，而且能够更加深入地理解文本。
And really make sure that you've understood it correctly.
一定要保证你理解的是正确的。
Well I hope that the tips that I shared in this lesson have given you some inspiration to keep working on your reading skills
好的，我希望本节课程分享的小窍门能够给大家一些继续提升自己阅读能力的启发，
because there are so many benefits to regularly exposing yourself to English through text.
因为经常阅读英语文章其实益处颇多。
And through different types of text as well.
阅读不同类型的文本也是。
And above all else, I really want you to have fun with your English reading skills, right?
最重要的是，我真的希望大家享受提升英语阅读技能的乐趣，好吗？
I've added a whole bunch of recommendations in the description below, plus the link to Audible
我在评论区添加了很多推荐，还有Audible的链接，
so if you want to supercharge your reading practice by listening, as well as reading, then check it out—your first book's free.
