part 1 note in Chinese
1.本周学习到的新词汇
我的习惯是读第一遍时把生词划线标注出来。这次复盘笔记列出的词汇都是再翻阅，一眼就能反应出意思，或者一想到做笔记就跳到眼前的词，可以算是完全掌握的词汇了。我在这里记录他们的形式是：词汇+造句(words+make sentences)。
Imperial---In ancient society, if an officer wasconferred an imperial item by the emperor, it would be a reputation to hiswhole family.
Sap---Tellinga lie saps people’s admiration to her.
Peasant---Peasants afford grinding labors to get food
Gorge---The scenery near the gorge is beautiful and exciting.
Bank---Takecare! Get away from the river’s bank!
Portrait---My boyfriend draw a portrait forme as a birthday gift.
Magistrate---The magistrate said to Wusong” the evidence you offered was not enoughto prove Xi Menqing was guilty”
Taoist---The emperor gave much money to Taoist to look for a medicine which couldmake him immortal.
Phobia---At that time I have developed a phobia about calculating.
Stretch---There was a stretch of brick wall there, many years later it was knownto people as the name ”wall street”.
Preface---when we read a book, the first we need to read is its preface.
Cricket---my best friend’s wechat name is called ”cricketsong”.
Elicit---when the reporter asked him that question, itelicits his memory about his childhood.
2.“原汁原味”的重要性。
记得以前Eric的公众号推送里有写到词典问题，这次读原版书，比较深刻的体会到中文翻译有时不确切，无法帮助读者更好的理解作者想表达的意思；同时，就读书这件事来说，虽然不能百分百看懂，但英文本比中文译本读起来的感觉要好。
3.阅读方法的调整。
关注长难句，尝试分析句子结构。之前的阅读要求自己“明白个大概”就行了，结果一周下来的收获是多认了几个生词，知道了几件苏东坡的事儿，但在“感受语言的魅力”方面收效甚微。经Amartya提醒，自己语法基础较弱，因此在日后的阅读时应提高要求，通过文章学学语法。遇到长难句从“挑主体”入手。今天尝试了一下，发现有时如果结构拆对了，哪怕有生词不认识，都不会太影响自己对整个句子的理解~
The study of Su Tungpo’s life is, therefore, at the same time a study of national degeneration through party strife, ending in the sapping of national strength and the triumphant misrule of the petty politicians.
4.倒装的运用。英文中一般会把重要的、新的信息放在后面，倒装才能产生这样的效果。
The palace occupied the center of the city, beginning in the south with a long stretch of stone and brick wall below the Shiianteh Tower, with an elaborate bas-relief of dragons and phoenixes, while above showed the glittering roofs of the palaces, made with glazed tiles of variegated colors. Around the palace on four sides were the main streets, named by the four points of the compass. On the west of the palace stood the premier’s office, and the office of the military privy council. In the southern outer city, outside the Red Sparrow Gate, stood the national college and imperial temples.
5.独立主格结构。有自己的逻辑主语且与句子的主语不一致，独立结构一半充当状语。
They knew they were travelling with chinshih scholars for their husbands, but they could hardly be aware that they were in a family of three prose masters of the dynasty, one of them a major poet.
6.阅读技巧的总结。遇到乍一看不懂的句子，有时多读几遍，意思就清晰了。
It was the moment to which all his years of grinding labors and hours of burning the midnight oil were supposed to lead.
part 2 ENGLISH SUMMARY
This week I have read “the gay genius” from chapter 1 to chapter 6. It is a biography for the Chinese illustrious poet, Su Tungpo, who lived in song dynasty, having a versatile talent and charming personalities, his prose popular for hundred years.
In the first six chapters, the author tells us what Su experienced in his childhood: He was born in Meishan, his family was rich and most members in his family was well-educated, he got on well with his brother and both of them passed the imperial examination after they got married. After moving to the metropolis, he was given the rank of a councilor of justice and the office of an assistant magistrate at Fengshiang, which gave him opportunity to travel around, and do something for the local people.
What impressed me most are the description of natural scenery and the introduction of Chinese culture.
thank for reading！(*^__^*)
