Todd:

Alexandra, 你要做律师吗?

Alexandra: Yes, I am.

对呀。

Todd: Very impressive and you're in law school and you were saying that in law school the reading load is very difficult.

真令人钦佩。你在法学院，而且你刚刚说，在法学院的时候，阅读的压力会很大。

Alexandra: Yes, for each class you have to read a few thousand pages over the course of three months, a semester, and it can be very difficult because you have five classes or more depending on your schedule so you end up reading from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep and try not to fall sleep in your book, so that can be difficult, so I try to read for awhile, maybe 50 minutes and take a ten minute break, stand up, walk around the room, and then get back to it or else it's too much information. It won't go in my head.

对呀。一个学期下来，三个月的时间每节课你都必须要读完几千页的书。那太难了，因为根据课程表来看，一般会有五节课或者更多。那么你就必须要从睁开眼睛的那一刻一直读到最终睡觉的那一刻，而且还要试着不要看着看着书就睡着了，所以说那真的是太难了。我试着看大概50分钟的时间，然后休息10分钟，站起来，在房间里走走，然后回去再接着看，否则我根本就看不进去。

Todd: Yeah, how do you retain everything?

对，你是如何记住你看过的内容的?

Alexandra: You just go back. You take notes for every 50 minute block. You stand up at the 10 minute block and stretch, come back and try write down what you read and try to, you know, do small little bullet points of what you read and that sort of keeps it in your mind.

回过头再想想。每隔50分钟就做些笔记。休息的那10分钟起来做做拉伸运动，然后再回去试着写下你刚刚读到的东西。你知道的，就是做些你读到的，或者说是你脑子中记下的那些小点。

Todd: That's a good strategy. Wow. Do you do anything to actually increase your reading speed?

那是个好方法。哇，那你做了什么提高阅读速度的事儿了吗?

Alexandra: No, you can't. With law you have to read each word, because each word has a particular definition. It could be a procedure in a courtroom which has particular steps, so if you omit words, or skip things you might miss the whole point of the case, so you can't speed read as it were. That's why you need to do it, you read for a long time. You just have to be careful and try to take enough breaks to give yourself a rest.

没有，你做不到的。按常理来说，你必须阅读每个单词，因为每个单词都有它特定的意义。这可能是有很多特定步骤的法庭审判的其中一步。所以说如果你少看些单词，或者跳过一些，你都可能会错过整篇文章的某个要点。所以你不能像之前那样加速阅读。那就是为什么你需要去做，要阅读很长时间的原因。你一定要小心，试着给自己些休息时间放松一下。
