day 10   总结与反思

         经过前两篇文章的洗礼，阅读第三篇文章时会明显感觉轻松了一些。虽然目前还没有发生质的改变，不过慢慢感觉自己的进步还是蛮有成就感的。整理词汇感觉越来越得心应手，格式调整了一下，瞬间顺眼一些了哈。画逻辑思维导图的时候也不会再抓耳挠腮，半天不知从何瞎逼，神句翻译练习的速度也加快了一些。但是问题依然存在，需要继续改进。我逻辑思维导图逻辑不够严密，有些地方扣的"帽子" 概括性、准确性还不够。今天听了笃师的音频，学到了一个一般思路，即“提出问题，解决问题，给出现状和未来趋势，一正一反交替论证法” ，感觉很有道理，打算下篇文章自己就去验证一下哈，哈哈。神句翻译，首先的理解好原文的意思。意思搞错了翻得再好也白搭。而且在翻译的时候一定要把句子放到文章中联系上下文，这样便于理解，有助于翻译。同时，在翻译时我还应该注意措辞表达，感觉自己的中文不够地道，怪别扭的。要继续好好补语文！先废话到这吧。再接再厉，只为遇见更好的自己！
