美国作曲家弗兰克·扎帕说:“So many books, so little time.”,这应该是每个书迷遇到过最尖锐的矛盾:时间那么少,好书那么多。怎样才能多读书,读好书呢?
下面就给你10个读书小技巧,每天读一本书不是梦想!接好喽~
1. Carry your books everywhere.
随身携带书籍。
There's always an opportunity to read. Whenever you have a moment, you can break out your book and read. Especially if you like to read digital versions.
阅读是件美好的事儿,因为只要有时间你都可以抓起手边的书,打开电子书,立刻沉浸在书的世界中。随身携带一两本轻型的纸质书,喜欢阅读英文原著的读者也可以下载扇贝阅读,让阅读成为生活中的常态。
2. Keep a list.
规划自己的读书清单
There's a sense of fulfillment and motivation tracking the books you've read. You'll always be able to reference the list or provide recommendations, and will be inspired by the compounding effect reading has. Soon after you begin, you'll already have a handful of books completed, and it will be motivating to see that list grow. I use Good Reads to track everything.
读书前,给自己一个承诺,制定一个合理的读书规划,常问自己:今年要读什么书?这个月要读什么书?这周要读什么书?对自己读过的书有一个清醒的认识。刚开始可以完成少量书籍,并且用不断增长的清单来激励阅读。
如果你英文原版书看得多,安利一个记录阅读和选书的英文网站GoodReads。
3. Mark it up.
随手记录。
Whether a physical copy or digital version, marking up a book (underlining, highlighting, notes, etc.) provides multiple benefits. If you read the book again, you can review what stuck out to you the first (or second, third, etc.) time through. It's fun to see the difference in perspective you sometimes have.
在书注进你的灵魂前,先将你的痕迹留下。手中常拿一支笔,遇到触人的话语,随手记下内心的声音,随时对书进行标记(下划线,突出显示,笔记等),重读时还能感触到曾经的心路历程。
Next, if you ever pass the book onto someone, they can see your notes and highlights, and compare their perspective to yours.
如果你把这本书借给某人,他可以看到你的笔记和标注的亮点,并将他们的观点与你的比较,以书交流。
4. Share what you read.
分享心得,以书会友。
Sharing what I read helps me teach others. Teaching is the best way to learn. Also, I enjoy sharing information and providing insight about different topics I am passionate about.
你以为一本书读到最后一页就算读完了吗?读完一本书后,最重要的就是分享和交流,把你的所感所悟传授给他人,与书友探讨一个主题下的不同见解。
5. Listen to books.
听书。
If you're a commuter, audiobooks can be a great way to make use of your travel. Listening to books via iBooks, Audible, etc. is a wonderful antidote to simply not having the time to stop and read.
There are a myriad of scenarios where audiobooks reign: while cleaning the house, cooking dinner, driving, or even exercising.
如果你上班上学要经常坐公交,有声书可以在旅途中帮你完成阅读,而且听书的速度会比阅读更快。如果你腾不开双手,比如打扫房间、做菜、开车、健身时,可以戴上耳机进入听书的世界。
6. Prioritize.
阅读优先。
If you want to read more, reading has to become a priority. It has to take precedence over watching Netflix, scrolling through Instagram or making snaps. We all have the same 24 hours. Some of us just know how to maximize every second.
每天24小时,对每个人都是平等的,如果你想阅读更多的书籍,闲下来的时间你的头等大事就是读书。把读书当成是人生中的大事,必须优先于看剧,优先于刷微博微信,优先于无效社交,最大化的利用时间。
7. Have dedicated reading time.
有专门的阅读时间。
This helps to create a habit. Creating the habit helps you do more of it.
每天拿出专门的时间用来阅读,久而久之培养阅读习惯。习惯可以让你坚持下去。当有一天你没读书会感觉浑身难受的时候,你就成功养成了每天读书的好习惯。
8. Join a book club.
加入一个书友会。
Different book clubs have different processes. It's motivating to read with others and share what you've read. It's also helpful for accountability. There are online groups or in-person groups. Figure out what's best for you.
不同的读书俱乐部有着不同的读书安排。无论是线上还是线下的书友俱乐部都可以激励你的阅读,还可以与他人分享你的看法,相互监督。快去加入一个适合你自己的组织吧!
9. Read in sprints.
阅读冲刺。
Some days my attention span is less than others. During these days, I set 20-minute timers and read in 20-minute sprints. This helps me not get too burnt out, and allows me to feed my wandering mind after a dedicated sprint (where I may spend 5 to 10 minutes doing something else). 注意力不集中?每天心里乱糟糟的,看不进去书?你需要“阅读冲刺”,拼尽全力阅读20分钟,再花5-10分钟做点其他事,循环往复。这种方法有助于缓解焦虑,安抚烦躁不安的心灵。
10. Alternate between genres.
换着口味读。
One of the easiest ways to keep the flow of reading steady is to alternate between fiction and non-fiction books. One day, you could pick up Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockbird, and the next buzz through non-fiction book How to Read a Book.
有的时候书读多了也会厌烦,缓解这种情绪最简单的方法就是,小说读腻了就换本非虚构的书。比如今天读哈勃·李的小说《杀死一只知更鸟》,明天可以换个口味读读莫提默·J·艾德勒的书《如何阅读一本书》。
奥斯卡·王尔德说过:“It's what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”(当你发自内心地去阅读,读过什么样的书,你就会变成什么样的人)。多读书,找到合适自己的书,腹有诗书才能气自华,让每
