前言
弗朗西斯·培根曾在他那著名的《論讀書》一文中指出:讀書使人充實(shí)(reading makes a full man),中國也有二句古諺:一為:“書讀百遍,其義自現(xiàn)”。二為:“熟讀唐詩三百首,不會(huì)作詩也會(huì)吟。”培根強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“讀書”(閱讀)與人生,而后二者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“閱讀”與“理解”、與“寫作”(創(chuàng)作)的關(guān)系。不論怎樣三者都突出強(qiáng)調(diào)了“讀書”(閱讀)的功用。“讀書”就其本質(zhì)而論就是“閱讀”,而“閱讀”又可分為“精讀”(intensive reading)、“泛讀”(extensive reading)、“跳讀”(skipping)、“掃讀”(scanning)和“快速閱讀”(fast reading)以及“朗讀”(reciting),也就是培根先生所說的some books are to be tasted,Others to be swallowed,and some few to be chewed and digested?! W(xué)習(xí)一門外語,既需要“精讀”也需要“泛讀”,在某種意義上講,“泛讀”的多少?zèng)Q定了外語學(xué)習(xí)的成敗高低。顧名思義,“泛讀”就是泛泛而讀,它的目標(biāo)是通過大量的閱讀,拓寬視野,擴(kuò)大知識(shí)面,增加詞匯量,從而增強(qiáng)語感——而語感是學(xué)習(xí)外語最最重要的一個(gè)因素。

章節(jié)摘錄
The hardest-and most personal-sermon I ever gave in 30 years as a rabbi was on Yom Kippur, one year after our son had died at age 14. Its on this Jewish Day of Atonement that we atone, or make our split, imperfect selves at one. I knew my sermon would have to be a major statement about what losing a son had meant to me and to my faith, and how I could go on believing in a world where young children died. I took my text from a little book called The Missing Piece, which I can describe only as a fairy tale for adults. It tells the story of a circle that was missing a piece. A large triangular wedge had been cut out of it. The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so-it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
