网络阅读和深度阅读，相辅相成

With the development of social software, people spend more and more time on sharing their daily moments, express their opinions or browse through articles published via Wechat, LinkedIn or Facebook. Does the fragmented reading really benefit people?

随着社交软件近年来的兴起，人们越来越多的变成了低头一族，将时间花在分享日常生活，好友留言或者在浩如烟海的微信公众号中查看速食小文，问题是这些碎片阅读是否真的让公众收益呢？

Generally, those articles shared on the social networks help people kill the time efficiently. In the past, people got bored easily when they were waiting for the train, queuing at the bank or waiting at the restaurant, but now you do not feel like that because those free subscribed accounts will push articles to you daily from your smart phone Apps, easily filling in your fragmented time. 

就本人拙见，这些公众号的文章确实有效地帮人们干掉了许多“待机时间”，比如，等待登机，等待银行的柜台服务，等待餐馆的食物准备就绪的这些琐碎时间里，人们无需茫然而焦灼地被动等待，只需刷刷公众号，浏览几篇文章即可。

Generally, it is more beneficial for people to spend time reading something rather than staying idle. Some high-quality articles really provide original and specular viewpoints. 

不仅如此，更多的普通人确实从碎片阅读中受益了。毕竟，阅读一些文字总比闲待着强吧。何况，公众号中不乏有很多原创性强的，具有独到见解的文章呢。

However, I have to admit that most of those free articles have not in-depth viewpoints. For a person who read wide variety of books, he can easily identify some viewpoints, which are actually copied from books, or magazines but the authors seem not thinking necessary to refer to the sources seriously. Through binding their own opinions to the public hot events, utilizing inflammatory topics and editing skills, they created articles with the speed of lighting, which are supposed to attract the readers, while the reading amount becomes their real and final “product” to attract advertisers and revenue.

但是，我们也要认识到，那些免费的文章，或者说是文案，并不都有深刻的见解。如果某人博览群书，会很容易发现这些文案中的观点似曾相似，也许是引用某本经典的著作，或者和某本精心编撰的杂志不谋而合，而公众号的文章很少有严谨到在文末指出参考书目。这些公众号充分利用当前的社会热点新闻，具有煽动性的标题以及不着痕迹的编辑才能，速速写出爆款文案吸引读者，而阅读量本身才是它们真正的产品，吸引广告商和滚滚财源。

We might need a more wise way to embed social media reading into our reading plan. Those social media articles are more like a portal to take us into different knowledge fields, but do not just stay at the gate. Try to search for books with in-depth viewpoints in that field to build up your own knowledge framework and form a habit of critical thinking; instead of be misled by the biased opinion of those articles. 

我们不需要因噎废食，但也许能采用更明智的态度来制定我们的阅读计划。很多公众号提供的文章更像一个窗口，通过它一窥不同的知识领域，可是我们能做的不仅仅如此。通过阅读具有深入及系统论据支持的书籍来构建知识框架，并且形成批判性的思考习惯，我们就不会轻易地因为各种公众号的观点而迷失方向。
