怎样提高你的阅读速度英语
Hi everyone, it's Michelle here from IELTS Advantage.
大家好，我是来自 IELTS Advantage 的米歇尔。
Today, we're gonna be talking about how you can increase your reading speed.
今天，我们将讨论如何提高阅读速度。
Now, the IELTS Reading test isn't easy.
雅思阅读考试并不容易。
You've only got 60 minutes to answer 40 questions.
你只有六十分钟回答四十个问题。
And if you can read faster, it's obviously going to make this a lot easier.
如果你能读得更快，这显然会让考试变得容易很多。
Now, everybody knows this, and so, often the advice that students are given is that what you need to do to read faster is skim and scan.
每个人都知道这一点，学生们经常得到的建议是，要读得更快，你需要做的是略读和浏览。
Now, skimming is part of the strategy that you'll use to answer the different question types, but in itself, it's not enough to get the correct answer.
略读是你用来回答不同类型问题的策略的一部分，但它本身并不足以得到正确的答案。
So, we're not gonna focus on skimming today.
所以，我们今天不会重点讲略读。
What I'm going to show you is a strategy that you can use to increase your reading speed so that once you know sort of where the answer, the correct answer might and might not be in the text, you can read carefully to find that answer, but you can read a little bit faster.
我要向你们展示的是一种策略，你们可以用它来提高阅读速度，这样一旦你们知道答案在什么地方，正确的答案可能在文中，也可能不在文中，你们可以细读来找到答案，但你们可以读得快一点。
So, that's what we're gonna focus on today.
这就是我们今天要讲的。
And at the end of the video, I'm going to give you a task that you can use to practice with.
在视频的最后，我会给你们一个可以用来练习的任务。
All right, so, how do you read faster and why should you not rely on skimming?
好，那么，怎样才能读得更快呢?为什么不应该依赖略读呢?
Well, the research varies, but a lot of researchers believe that in order to actually skim a text, you need to know anywhere between 95 and 98% of the words in order to skim, and most students don't know that percentage of words in an IELTS test.
嗯，研究结果各不相同，但很多研究人员认为，要真正略读一篇文章，你需要知道文章中 95% 到 98% 的单词，而大多数学生在雅思考试中都不知道这个百分比。
I mean, think about it this way, right?
我是说，你可以这样想，对吧？
The IELTS test is one test, and it has to be hard enough to determine whether or not somebody is a Band 7 or a Band 8 or a band 9. So, if you're a Band 8, you'll get some questions wrong, but if you're a Band 9, you won't.
雅思考试是一种考试，它必须要有足够的难度来确定一个考生是 7 分、8 分还是 9 分。所以，如果你是 8 分，你会做错一些题，但如果你是 9 分，你不会做错题。
And the reason students get questions wrong on the reading test is usually because of vocabulary.
学生在阅读测试中答错问题的原因通常是词汇量。
So, if you're sort of at an intermediate or upper-intermediate or even, you know, advanced C1 level of English, there will be words in the test, in the reading test that you don't know.
所以，如果你的英语水平处于中级或中高级，甚至，高级 C1 水平，那么在测试中，在阅读测试中，会有一些你不知道的单词。
So, the number one thing that you can do to improve your reading score is to increase your vocabulary.
所以，要想提高阅读成绩，你可以做的第一件事就是增加词汇量。
And we've got some great resources that Chris has put together on our YouTube page to help you improve your vocabulary.
克里斯把一些很棒的资源放在了我们的油管页面上，帮助你提高词汇量。
If you improve your vocabulary, it will make it a lot easier to skim, but skimming is still not enough to find the correct answer.
如果你的词汇量增加了，略读会容易得多，但略读仍然不足以找到正确答案。
What you need to do to find the correct answer is very close reading.
要找到正确答案，你需要做的是非常仔细的阅读。
Now, what I'm gonna show you is how you can get faster at this close reading.
现在，我要向你们展示的是如何更快速地进行细读。
So again, how you get faster at skimming is improving your vocabulary.
那么，提高你略读速度的关键是提高你的词汇量。
So, here's how I know that you need to know a lot of words in order to be able to skim.
这就是我怎么知道你需要知道很多单词才能略读。
This is a book that I read recently, it's called "This Is Going to Hurt", it's written by a man called Adam Kay.
这是我最近读的一本书，叫做 This Is Going to Hurt，是一个叫亚当·凯的人写的。
He was a doctor in the hospitals here in the UK and in the NHS, and he wrote a memoir, and it's quite funny.
他曾是英国国家医疗服务体系的一名医生，他写了一本回忆录，读起来很有趣。
Well, it's sad, but also quite funny.
这本书令人悲伤，但也很有趣。
And, I read this book quite quickly, so you know, there's about this many words on the page.
我读这本书读得很快，这一页上有这么多字。
I could probably just reading a page in less than a minute 'cause I'm a pretty quick reader.
我可以在不到一分钟的时间内读完一页，因为我读得很快。
But here's what I noticed about this book in particular.
但我特别注意到这本书。
I was reading, reading along, and then I'd get to a word like this one which you probably can't see.
我一直读，一直读，然后我看到一个像这样的词，你们可能看不到。
But it's got a little asterisk by it, which means that he's had to explain it.
但旁边有个星号，意味着他要解释这个词。
Now, because he's talking about his job working as a doctor, there's a lot of medical terminology that I don't know.
因为他说的是他的医生工作，所以有很多医学术语我不认识。
Now, a lot of our VIP students are medical professionals, they might know these words.
我们很多 VIP 学生都是医学专业人士，他们可能认识这些词。
I don't know these words.
我不认识这些词。
Some of you watching might be medical professionals, and you might know these words as well, but I don't.
你们中的一些人可能是医学专家，你们可能也认识这些词，但我不认识。
So whenever I came to one of these words, it's like somebody had hit the brakes.
每当我遇到一个这种词，就像有人踩了刹车一样。
I didn't know it, I didn't know how to sound it out, I didn't know how to pronounce it.
我不认识它，我不知道它怎么发音，我不知道怎么念它。
I'd have to then go and read what it meant, and then I'd have to come back, remember sort of what he was talking about, and then carry on reading.
然后我要去看它的意思，然后我要回来，记住他在说什么，然后继续读下去。
So this, every time I ran into a word that I didn't know like this, it really really slowed me down.
所以，每次我遇到一个我不认识的单词，就像这样，这样真的真的让我慢下来。
Now, if this was full of words like that, there's no way I could skim this text because I just wouldn't know enough of the words.
如果这篇文章里全是这样的单词，我不可能浏览这篇文章，因为我不认识足够多的单词。
As it goes, I can skim it here, and I can sort of run my eyes over the text, and there's enough words that I recognize, I could tell you roughly what it's about.
随着我往下读，我可以在这里略读，我可以浏览一下文本，有足够多我能认出的单词，我可以大致告诉你它是关于什么的。
But then, remember, to get the right answer for the reading test, you need to do a close reading.
但是记住，要在阅读测试中得到正确的答案，你需要仔细阅读。
Now, if I came to one of those words in the close reading, it would still slow me down, and I might get the answer wrong if I don't know the words.
如果我在细读的时候读到其中一个单词，它仍然会让我放慢速度，如果我不认识这些单词，我可能会答错。
So again, improving your vocabulary is the most important thing that you can do to increase your reading score.
因此，提高你的词汇量是提高你的阅读成绩最重要的事情。
But, how can you just start to read faster?
但是，怎样才能开始读得更快呢？
You know, how can you pick up a book like this and read a page in less than a minute and understand 99% of it when you know enough vocabulary?
你知道，如果你掌握了足够的词汇，你如何能拿起一本这样的书，在不到一分钟的时间里读完一页，并且理解 99% 的内容呢？
Well, here is one idea, okay?
这里有个方法。
So, when you're reading to really understand, you should be reading at about 200 to 230 words a minute.
当你为了真正理解而阅读时，你应该以每分钟 200 到 230 词的速度阅读。
Skimming, by the way, is about 700 words a minute.
顺便提一下，略读的速度是大约每分钟七百个词。
So, a lot of students and a lot of people in generally, they read like this, they put their finger under the word and they move their finger along word by word, and they don't say the words out loud, but they say them silently in their head.
很多学生和很多人一般都是这样读的，他们把手指放在单词下面，一个字一个字地移动手指，他们不会大声说出来，但他们会在脑海里默默地说出来。
This process is called sub-vocalization.
这个过程叫做默读。
And basically what it does is it limits your reading speed to the speed that you would read if you were reading out loud.
基本上，这种方法限制了你的阅读速度，让你的速度比你大声读出来的速度要慢。
Now, you can try this in your first language, and I bet that if you read out loud, you read a lot slower than if you read silently.
你可以用你的母语来试一下，我敢打赌，如果你大声朗读，你的阅读速度会比默读慢很多。
So, here's one way that you can sort of break the habit of sub-vocalization.
这里有一种方法可以让你改正默读的习惯。
So, people will read, they'll often, you know, get a piece of paper or something and they'll put it under, or their finger or something, they'll put it under the line.
人们在阅读的时候，他们会经常拿一张纸或其他东西，他们会把它放在下面，或他们的手指或其他东西，他们会把它放在线下面。
So, they'll start with here and it'll be okay... "Sunday, 17 October 2004.. ." and then they'll move it down and they'll be... "to give myself a bit of credit, I didn't panic when the patient I was reviewing on the board unexpectedly started hosing enormous quantities of blood. . ." Ugh, yeah, you have to have a strong stomach to read this book.
他们会这样开始.... ..“2004 年十月 17 日，周日.... ..”，然后他们会往下读，就像这样.... ..“为了给自己一点信心，当我在看板上检查的病人突然开始喷大量的血时，我并没有惊慌。”恶，没错，你需要一个强大的胃才能看这本书。
See, that's quite slow, now, isn't it?
看，那样读很慢，不是吗？
And if you read this slowly, it's gonna make it hard to answer all the questions on the IELTS Reading test.
如果你读得很慢，就会很难做完雅思阅读考试的所有题目。
So, here's what you can do.
你可以这样做。
Take your same piece of paper, but don't put it under the words like this, put it over the words so it comes down and it covers them.
拿着同一张纸，但不要把它放在单词的下面，把它放在单词的上面，这样它就下来了，它就盖住了它们。
So, I'm still doing, my eyes are still going along, you know, the lines like this, but what I'm doing by moving this card down over the lines, and I can choose to speed, right?
我的眼睛仍然在看，像这样的线，但是我要做的是把这张卡片向下移动到这些线上，我可以选择加速，对吧？
I could do it really quickly or I could do it a little bit slower.
我可以读得很快，也可以读得慢一点。
But what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to force my eyes to move faster than my mouth would be able to actually say the words.
但是我要做的是强迫我的眼睛移动得比我的嘴读的更快。
So, when I'm training my brain, it's to recognize the words and to understand the words without actually hearing the words in my head.
当我训练我的大脑时，就是去识别这些单词，去理解这些单词，而不是在脑子里听这些单词。
And if you can do that, you're really really going to increase your reading speed.
如果你能做到这一点，你真的会提高你的阅读速度。
Of course, if I was doing this myself and I was moving the piece of paper down over top of the words and I got to a word that I didn't know and I kept going, what I would do is I would make some guess about what it was.
当然，如果我自己训练的话，我把一张纸移到单词上面，我一直往下读，我发现了一个我不认识的单词，我会继续读下去，我会做的就是猜测它是什么意思。
Okay, this is some kind of emergency, this is some kind of medicine, this is some kind of disease, right?
这是某种紧急情况、某种药物、某种疾病，对吧？
That's, 'cause I know the context, it's probably one of these things, and then I would keep going.
因为我知道上下文，它很可能是上面其中一种，然后我会继续看下去。
Now, the more words I run into that I don't know, of course, the harder this is.
当然，我遇到的不认识的词越多，这就越难。
But I can still work on increasing my reading speed that way.
但我仍然可以通过这种方式提高我的阅读速度。
So, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to show you a text.
我现在要做的是给你们看一段文字。
It's about 350 words long, and I'm gonna show it to you at 200 words a minute.
大约 350 字长，我会以每分钟 200 字的速度给你们看。
So, remember I said if you are reading for comprehension, right, most people read at between 200 and 230 words a minute for comprehension, this is the close reading where you understand everything you are reading so that you could then answer one of the IELTS reading questions.
记得我说过，如果你是为了理解而阅读，大多数人每分钟阅读 200 到 230 个单词，这是一种细读，你可以理解你正在阅读的所有内容，这样你能做雅思阅读中的一道题。
So, what I want you to do is I want you just to try it, okay?
我希望你试一试。
So, I'm gonna put it up on the screen and I want you, it's gonna, the words are gonna flash one by one.
我要把它放在屏幕上，我要你，嗯，它会一个词一个词地闪现。
It's using a program called Speed Reader.
它用的是叫做 Speed Reader 的程序。
There's a free app and then there's also a paid version, so we're gonna use the free, the free app.
有一个免费的应用程序，还有一个付费版本，所以我们要用免费的，免费的应用程序。
So, I'm gonna show you the text and then at the end, what I would like you to do down below in the comments is I'd like you to tell me what would be a good title for this article?
我要给你看文本，最后，我想让你在下面的评论中做的是，我想让你告诉我这篇文章适合的标题是什么。
It comes from a newspaper and it comes from the Lifestyle section, so it's not an academic or medical topic.
文章选自报纸的“生活方式”板块，所以不是学术性或医学主题。
So, you know, a title of an article gives the reader some idea of what it's about.
一篇文章的标题让读者对它的内容有所了解。
It doesn't have to be witty or clever, but just generally, what is it about.
它不用惟妙惟肖，但要表示文章是关于什么的。
If you can make a title, that means you've understood enough of the article.
如果你能起一个标题，那就意味着你对这篇文章已经理解得够多了。
So, let us try it.
那么，我们试试吧。
All right, everyone, here we go, let's begin.
好，那我们开始吧。
All right, that was it.
好了，就这样。
Post your answers down below, compare with what other students have written.
把你的答案发布在下面，和其他同学写的对比一下。
If you've kind of got, you know, more or less the same kind of information, then that's great.
如果你们写的都差不多，那就太棒了。
So, with this app, you can copy and paste any text from the internet, and you can also vary the speed.
有了这个应用程序，你可以从互联网上复制和粘贴任何文本，你也可以改变速度。
So, you can slow it down a little bit if you need or you can speed it up a bit if you want to give yourself a challenge.
所以，如果你需要，你可以放慢一点速度，如果你想挑战一下自己，你可以加快一点速度。
So, you've got this tool online to use, you've also got the technique that I showed you about moving a piece of paper down and covering the words as you go.
你可以在线使用这个工具，你还可以使用我教给你的技巧，把一张纸放下，边读边盖住单词。
Ideally, to do this practice, you would find a text or a book where you knew almost all of the words.
理想情况下，要做这个练习，你可以找到一篇你几乎知道所有单词的文章或一本书。
Like, if there is maybe one or two new words on the page that you don't know, that's an ideal level.
比如，如果页面上有一两个你不认识的新单词，那就是理想的选择。
So, graded readers are great for this if you have access to them, or even just something, you know, that's easy.
如果可以，你可以选择分级读物，或一些简单的文本，它们很适合这种练习。
So, something that maybe, you know, you've read before or something with a vocabulary that you're familiar with, because then you can just focus on the speed and you're not getting too tied up in too many new words.
一些你以前读过的东西，或者一些你熟悉的词汇，因为这样你就可以专注于速度，而不会被太多的生词束缚住。
