Day 6 总结反思

词句部分的修正已直接在Day4-5部分作出注释。其实自己感觉,这次的翻译任务在“语言脱壳”方面做的还算可以……的吧(哈哈哈打一半半突然怂,是说和之前对自己的认知比啦)。有误译或是其它问题的话,大多都是因为对那个表达本身的不理解,所以好好积累吧~

在加强了对文章首尾段、段落首尾句的重视后,Topic 2的把握较之Topic 1有了小进步:Topic 1的时候脑内的主旨(即便是在完成了思维导图之后)缺少了“很可能会把亚马逊推向政府”这个信息点。这次的任务里,内化的主旨和框架没有再出现这样严重的问题。但听笃师讲解最后一段的时候,发现自己没有把PSD2当作本文的三大主体之一。

这次的任务不像上次有小标题,并且确实感觉内容比较细,所以思维导图的信息点提炼的更多,也是想要辅助自己理解。但正如笃师说的那样,需要跳脱开来看整体,“保持一定距离”。更为宏观地看文章,会发现,虽然只是多提出一项“PSD2”作为主体(而不是仅仅作为段首的在“对银行的抱怨”和“新规新服务”中的连接;和散落在部分段落的信息点),但文章整体的感觉都明朗了许多。

所以,之后除了多使用“阅读前用首尾段把握大意”这个技能点外,还会在文章的生词句梳理、思维导图完成后,“再‘站开’重看首尾段”——概括主旨的同时也提取文章主体,更帮助理解和内化文章内容。

碎碎念:

踏实地做每天的内容,把之前放飞自我丢掉的状态默默养回来了哈哈~甚至做了更多,因为还加大了每周其它书籍的阅读量。把思维导图和精读班的其它技巧搬到室内设计类和西洋艺术史方面的书也同样适用~不会因为信息量大而读得很迷糊,回顾、做思维导图后可以接着一路process下去~

进一步有一步的欢喜吧~不要辜负一直以来的幸运,沉浸下来、提升自己。
