文体：年度阅读回顾 · 朗读音轨 60

先听一遍

听听主人公怎样从查单词的单一意思，转向看语境和证据。

展开英文短文，再悬停查词

At the beginning of this year, I read English by stopping at each unfamiliar word. If I knew its dictionary meaning, I felt safe; if I did not, the whole sentence seemed closed. Then our class read a short article about a town library extending its hours.

I knew the word “access” as an entrance to a website. In the article, it described whether people could actually use the library: when it was open, how they traveled there, and whether the signs were readable. The neighboring sentences changed the word. The workers' schedules and the town's budget changed the story around it.

I still use a dictionary. Now I also ask who is speaking, what evidence supports a claim, and which conditions are missing. A word becomes clearer when I see what it connects to, and a sentence can open more than one question.

The page in front of me is not the end of learning. It is a door to the next conversation, and I know how to begin reading it.

读懂了什么？

读完后，试着用一句话说出本文的主要意思，并从原文找出支持它的一句话。

查看中文译文

今年刚开始时，我读英语总在不认识的词前停住。只要知道词典释义，我就觉得安全；不知道时，整句话仿佛都关上了。后来，班里读了一篇关于镇图书馆延长开放时间的短文。

我以前把 access 理解为‘进入网站的入口’。在那篇文章里，它指人们实际上能否使用图书馆：开放时段是否合适、怎样到达、标牌能否读清。相邻句子改变了这个词在文中的意思；员工的排班和镇上的预算，也改变了围绕它的整个故事。

我现在仍会用词典，但也会问：是谁在说？什么证据支持某个说法？还缺少哪些条件？当我看清词与什么相连，它就更明白了；一句话也可能开启不止一个问题。

眼前这一页不是学习的终点。它是一扇通向下一场对话的门，而我知道该怎样开始读下去了。
