原版英语“高级”阅读：from birth to death

阅读英语，并非只有把英语读成中文才叫“阅读”并“理解”了。我们具有把它读成英语的能力，同样叫“理解”。这就是英语“高级”阅读的意思，不是看它材料原版不原版，高级不高级。

英语阅读，要的就是这个“能力”。

一：你是否把下面的英语给“活活”读成了中文才算“读懂”了？

From birth to death, human beings pass through various stages, such as growth, maturity and decline. Like human beings, products also have a life cycle.

Product life cycle (PLC) is an important concept in marketing. It describes the stages a product goes through, from when it was first thought of until it is finally removed from the market.

二：我们一起把同样的英语“读成”英语：你是否具有把学过的英语用起来的能力？

From birth to death, human beings pass through various stages, such as growth, maturity and decline. Like human beings, products also have a life cycle.

Product life cycle (PLC) is an important concept in marketing. It describes the stages a product goes through, from when it was first thought of until it is finally removed from the market.

1)From birth to death：

1.有人只会把它读成字面上的“中文”：从生到死

2.我们把它读成“其它学过”的英语：Well,from birth to death means from start to finish,fron the beginning to the end,or frim A to Z.

把英语读成中文，你就根本没有“说”或者“用”这些学过的英语的机会。这些英语都可以反过来互相使用。

2) human beings

1.有人把human beings只能读成中文：人类

2.我们把human beings读成其它英语来理解：

Well,human beings means human,or man,or mankind

3) pass through

1.有人把pass through读成中文：通过

2.我们把pass through读成英语：Well,to pass through something means To go through something,or To experience something,or To undergo something

此刻不用用难词undergo，你几时会有机会用这个英语？

4)various stages：Well,various stages means many different periods

5) various stages

1.有人直接把various stages读成中文：不同阶段

2.我们把various stages读成英语：Well,varioys stages here means growth, maturity and decline：You grow/you develop,you are mature/you are over 18 years old,and you get old/decline

6)products also have a life cycle

1.有人只会把英语a life cycle读成中文：生命周期

2.我们却能读成上下文里出现的英语：

Well,a life cycle means your growth,your maturity and your decline.

还有下文出现的from when it was first thought of until it is finally removed from the market.这个才是真正“厉害”的英语阅读能力，而不是孤立的单词翻译能力。

7)an important concept in marketing.

1.就不要把高中词汇important再“读成”中文“重要”啦：If something is important,it is sessential,or crucial,or critical，英语就是要用，多用就熟练

2.有人把concept读成中文：概念，观念

3.我们把concept读成下文的英语：

A concept is when something is first thought of or thought about

8)from when it was first thought of until it is finally removed from the market

  这不就是product life cycle吗？干嘛还把它翻译成中文：从它第一次被考虑，到最后被从市场上移除？

应该“说”出下面的英语：

Okay.I got you,from when it was first thought of until it is finally removed from the market means product life cycle.

小结：英语英语，只要你总是把它用起来，它真的一点不难的。“用”英语就包括你阅读时把英语“读成”英语。
