How to Improve Speed Reading Skills
如何提升阅读速度
Speed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. Many scholars consider speed reading to be the same as skimming, pointing out that you cannot speed read a text and expect the same amount of comprehension that you would get if you read it at a normal pace. However, skimming is a helpful tool in pre-reading and in reviewing texts, as well as in quickly gathering targeted information.
在诸多阅读技巧中，快速阅读训练能合理地提升你对阅读文章的了解，另外减少你的学习时间。很多专家学者把快速阅读训练相当于迅速访问，并强调你不能在快速阅读训练的另外希望做到和一切正常速率阅读文章一样的阅读文章品质。殊不知，迅速访问在做阅读准备、回望文章，和迅速梳理阅读文章信息内容时，时十分合理的阅读技巧。
Method 1: Improving Your Speed Reading Techniques
方式一: 提升你的迅速阅读方法
1.Look at groups of words, not single words. If you read a text one word at a time, then this will slow your reading speed way down. However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks of words at one time, then you can read much faster.
学好看短语，而不是单独的语汇。假如你一个字一个字地文章阅读，这会大幅度降低你的阅读速度。殊不知，假如你能培养阅读文章短语或一次性阅读文章很多语汇的习惯性，你入读得比之前快许多 了。
Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of words.
从一次性看三到四个语汇逐渐，随后试着看一整行的英语单词。
Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as “A, the, and, etc.”
重点关注这些授予语句含意的语汇，例如专有名词和形容词，并少关心“添充语汇”，例如“a, the, and”。
To see the biggest improvement in your speed reading skills, combine this technique with other speed reading techniques.
寻找给你发展较大 的快速阅读训练方式，并与其他迅速阅读方法融合起來应用。
2.Read with your hands. Use your finger to push yourself through the page. As you read, move your hand left to right under the text as if underlining it. Move your hand at the speed which you would like to read. You may start by moving at a slightly faster pace than your ordinary reading, and speed up on subsequent readings.
用你的手来阅读文章。用你的手指头来促进阅读文章过程。在阅读文章全过程中，你能像给文字划下横线一样从从左往右并且用你要想的阅读速度来挪动你的手指头。你能试着用比你的一切正常阅读速度更快一点的速率来挪动手指头，进而加速你阅读文章后边內容的速率。
While it used to be claimed that this use of the hand or finger "guided" the eye, it now appears that the finger sets the pace of reading rather than guiding its path. This is because it is difficult to pace the movements of your eyes, but easy to pace the movements of your hands.
尽管这类方式之前被觉得是用手指来引导双眼的挪动，但它如今更趋向于被觉得是操纵阅读速度的方式，并非操纵阅读文章的途径。这是由于操纵双眼的挪动十分艰难，但操纵手指头的挪动比较简单。
You can also use a pen or other object to pace yourself.
你也可以用一支笔或别的物件去调节你的阅读速度。
3.Scan for keywords. Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for—a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word—you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find. Then, run your eyes rapidly over the text. The information you are looking for should pop out at you.
扫描仪关键字。扫描仪是一种十分高效率的使你无需认真阅读就能获取文章内容重要信息的方式。假如你确定你一直在寻找什么內容- 一个姓名，一个日期，一个数据信息，或是一个确立的英语单词- 你能绕过很多文字而迅速寻找它。你需要*构想好那个你要想找的英语单词、数据，或语句，随后用你的双眼快速查询文字中的关键字。那样，你要找的信息内容会迅速出現在你眼下。
Try scanning with your hands or a pen, preferably a blue or black pen. Experiment with shapes to see which gets you the quickest results.
试着用你的手或一支笔来扫描仪信息内容，**一支深蓝色或灰黑色的笔。做一个小实验，看哪一个能给你获得更快的結果。
4.Chunk the material. One of the reasons you read slowly is that you have to pause sometimes to understand what a passage is saying. You might also have to go back and reread things you have already read. To improve your speed reading, try to pause for reflection only at the end of a reading session (i.e. after about 15 to 20 minutes) or after finishing a section, such as chapter.
把阅读材料分为块状。造成阅读文章速度比较慢的缘故*就是你有时候*须慢下来了解这句话在讲些哪些。你很有可能还*须回望你早已读过的內容，去了解和消化吸收它所表述的含意。为了更好地快速阅读训练，你能试着只在每一个阅读文章环节完毕时慢下来，开展十五到二十分钟的思考和回望，或是在每一个阅读文章一部分或章节目录完毕的情况下慢下来思索。
To check for comprehension at the end of every speed reading session, write down keywords, or just summarize what you read in a few sentences or by explaining it to someone. This will help you keep to improve your comprehension, and it will also help you to retain information better.
在每一个快速阅读训练环节完毕后确定自身是不是了解阅读文章內容，你能写出这一段阅读文章的关键字，用两三句汇总这一段阅读材料，或是试着向他人表述这一段阅读文章內容。那样做会协助你的了解阅读文章，也会协助你能够更好地保存阅读文章信息内容。
Method 2: Trying the SQR3 method
方式二：试着SQR3方式
1.Survey the text. Before you read, read all titles, chapter and section headings, subheadings, and any charts, graphs, diagrams, questions, and summaries you can find.
调研阅读文章文字。在你阅读文章以前，读一遍文章内容的题型，章节目录和每一个一部分的题目、小标题，一切报表、数据图表、数据图表、难题，与你能够寻找的全部汇总。
If you are reading a text without these things, you might consider reading the first and last sentence of every paragraph or chapter to get an idea of the material the text is covering.
假如你读的阅读文章文字沒有所述这种內容，你能考虑到读*一段的*一句和最终一句话，进而获知本文关键在讲些哪些。
2.Write questions. Write down any questions you hope your reading will answer. You will comprehend more if you go into the text knowing what you want to learn. If you are not sure what you want to learn, go through and turn every chapter heading, section title, etc. into a question. Try to guess what the text will teach you: ask yourself the question you think the text might answer.
写出你的问题。写出一切你要从中找到答案的难题。假如你了解你要从中获得哪些，你一直在阅读文章的情况下会了解得大量。假如你不确定性自身想从阅读文章初中到些哪些，访问一遍文字，随后把每一个章节目录的仰头、每一个阅读文章一部分的题目等都转换成一个难题。猜一猜这篇阅读文章会来教你什么：问你自己一些你觉得这篇阅读文章会回应你的问题。
If you like, add further questions while you read.
假如你喜爱，在阅读文章全过程中增加一些你要问的难题。
3.Recite the answers. Now that you've read, you should be able to answer the questions you asked yourself. Answer all the questions you have read. You do not have to write them down (unless that is your assignment), just recite them aloud.
记诵文章内容里的回答。如今你早已阅读文章了文章内容，你应该能够回应你以前明确提出的难题了。回应全部难题，无需把回答写下来，只需大声地记诵回答就行。
If you are pausing after each section, make sure you can recite the answer to that section before you move on to the next. If you cannot, go back and skim it again.
假如你一直在每一个阅读文章一部分慢下来，你需要在阅读文章下一个一部分以前*你能记诵这一部分的回答。假如不可以，你需要回望这些內容。
If you feel you made an error in the framing of one of your questions, reframe it so that you can answer it.
如果你觉得你一直在设计构思难题的情况下犯了不正确，再次提一个你能回应的难题。
Method 3: Setting Yourself Up for Success
方式三：为取得成功充分准备
1.Expand your vocabulary. Running into words you don't know is one of the great bogs of speed reading. You're likely to get stuck on words with meanings you don't know, and likely to miss key information. To expand your vocabulary, read more. When you don't know a word, look it up.
扩大你的英语词汇量。遇到不认识的英语单词是快速阅读训练的阻碍*。你很有可能会由于不清楚英语单词的含意而错过了文章内容的重要信息。你需要大量的阅读文章来扩大你的英语词汇量，假如碰到不认识的英语单词，你需要部首查字典。
If you are reading a certain genre of text, such as a medical textbook, it will help to study basic medicaljargon before you start reading.
假如你一直在阅读文章一篇主题独特的文章内容，例如医药学教材，在阅读以前掌握一些基础的医药学术语会协助你了解文字。
Reading broadly in the fields that interest you will expand your vocabulary.
在你很感兴趣的行业开展很多的阅读文章会协助你扩大英语词汇量。
2.Take notes. If comprehension is your goal, then processing what you just wrote is your best tool. After you've completed your speed reading of a text, take some time to reflect on it. Write down key ideas, discuss them with a friend, or just free-write about your impressions.
做笔记。假如了解文章内容就是你的总体目标，审查你一直在阅读文章全过程中记录下来的手记会是一种合理的了解文字的方式。在快速阅读训练一篇文章以后，你需要一些時间去思索本文的內容。
Don't make marks or highlight the text—this will interfere with your speed reading, and it may distract you from the information you are trying to absorb.
不要在文字中标识或加宽亮- 这会危害你的快速阅读训练，使你从你尝试吸取的信息内容中走神。
