Beyond feelings-12

年初吹了一个大牛，说要看完两本英文书。目前第一本才看完一章，计划应该是承诺，而不是兴趣使然，所以再难也要坚持完成。这才能算是“行以掩言”，《Beyond feelings》继续死磕，坚持日更，履行承诺。

第二章

What Is Critical Thinking?

批判性思维是什么？

When Arthur was in the first grade, the teacher directed the class to “think.” “Now, class,” She said, “I know this problem is a little harder than the ones we’ve been doing, but I’m going to give you a few extra minutes to think about it. Now start thinking.”

Strange Word：

direct  管理,指导   extra  额外的

当亚瑟在一年级的时候，老师指导班级去“思考。”“现在上课，”她说，“我知道这个问题比以往我们做过的事情要难一些，但是我会给你们一些额外的时间去思考这个问题，好了，开始思考。”

It was not the first time Arthur had heard the word used. He’d heard it many times at home, but never quite this way. The teacher seemed to be asking for some special activity, something he should know how to start and stop—like his father’s car. “Vroom-m-m,” he muttered half aloud. Because of his confusion, he was unaware he was making the noise.

Strange words：

Vroom  发动机发出的呜呜声  mutter咕哝；喃喃低语  confusion  困惑

这不是亚瑟第一次听到这个词语的使用。他在家经常听到这个词，但是从未以这种方式听过。老师看起来像是在一些特别的活动中在提过这个问题，所以她知道何时开始并且何时结束——就像他父亲的车一样。“嗡，嗡，”他低声咕哝着。因为困惑，他没有意识到自己发出的声音。
