but here's something that I've found to be the most effective if you're going

但是我找到了,一種最有效率的讀書方法，

for maximum productivity and efficiency. Basically what I do is

能大大的提升讀書效率及效益。基本上這個方法便是

I listen to the audiobook at twice the speed while I look at the book and follow along.

每次我在聽電子書的時候,都會把速度調快2倍,邊聽邊讀

And there are so many great things about that... First of all,

這樣會有很多的好處....第一

it combines two senses, seeing and hearing,

這種方法結合了兩種感官知覺,看和聽

so you end up with really good comprehension while being really effecient at the same time.

結果真得比較好理解,也一下就吸收了

It's kind of like these videos... Imagine if you were only hearing or seeing...

有點像這些影片一樣,想像你光只用聽或用看的而已

It just wouldn't be as effective, so combining the two senses does magic for

讀起來就是不會那麼有效果,所以結合兩種感官知覺的確比較好

comprehension.

理解

Another possibly even more important benefit is that

另一種可能較大的好處是

it keeps you in a straight line and keeps you going.

這種讀書方法能讓你一直保持直線思考,

So you're not going back and rereading things, you're not taking all kinds of unnecessary

所以你不用反覆的回去看文章或重讀,也不用在多做多餘的

breaks and pauses, your eyes aren't running around all the time,

停頓和休息,眼睛也不用一直緊盯著文章

and you're not getting distracted every two minutes.

也不會每兩分鐘就分心

So again, I'm pretty sure I've tried everything at this

再一次，我真的投入許多研究心力，

point, and this is absolutely one of the best

這樣的讀書方式絕對是最棒、

and the most effective and effecient ways to read.

最有效的

You can take a book like The Richest Man in Babylon

你可以拿一本<巴比倫致富寶典>

and finish it in literally only 2 hours. You can take a book like

只需2小時就能讀完了,你也可以讀

How to Win Friends and Influence People and finish it in about 3.5 hours.

<卡內基溝通與人際關係>,然後在3.5小時左右讀完

You can basically finish most books in 5 hours unless you're reading Ayn Rand,

基本上,你能在5小時內讀完所有書,除非你讀到艾因蘭德(俄裔美國哲學家小說家)的著作

in which case, let's be honest, you're screwed no matter what you do.

老實說吧,不管做什麼,你還是會一臉愁容

So let me just address one other thing... Every time I talk about effeciency with reading,

容我告訴各位一件事,每次,我講到如何讀書事半功倍

someone always points out that you shouldn't be rushing,

某些人總是說讀書這事快不得

you should just enjoy the book. And I actually sympathize with that because

而是應該細細品味,的確我也認同,

I know what it feels like to just relax and read,

我明白慢慢享受讀書的感覺

and I absolutely love that feeling. But at the same time,

我也非常享受那當下,同時,

I don't just read for pleasure. Most of the time,

我讀書不是為了樂趣,大部分

I read with the sole purpose of improving my life,

只有一個原因,為了提升生活品質

and the more I read the better my life gets, so there's absolutely a sense of urgency for

書讀越多,生活就過得更好.對我而言,讀書有種急迫感.

me.

Anyway... I really hope you try this out and find it useful.

無論如何,我真心希望你們能夠試試看,可以幫上你們的忙.　

It has definitely been one of the best things I've introduced into my life lately.

我很確定這方法是我接觸過最好的一種

I don't have some crazy attention span, so I get tired and distracted after a while

我並沒有過人的專注力,我讀一下子就很疲憊、也很容易分心。

but this keeps me going and keeps me focused. I think I've read one book a day

但是這種讀書方式能讓我一直持續下去,我現在一天念一本

for seven days in a row now, which is something that I definitely

已經連續一個禮拜了,要是沒有用這方法的話,我絕對不

wouldn't be able to do if I wasn't using this method.

可能讀得下去.
