Introdution 《How to Read Darwin》
主要是現(xiàn)在正在練口語,打算每天寫一章的讀書筆記,然后說出來,練下自己的口語。。。針對的是vocabulary的積累與表達(dá)的掌握吧。
Structure
Why should we read Darwin?
His influence can be traced into all corners of modern culture - not just biology, but in philosophy, the human sciences, theology, software engineering, literature and the plastic arts.
It's easy to read.

How to read it?
My preferred approach follows the philosopher and historian R.G. Collingwood, who suggested we should aim to understand the questions that people asked. The questions they had in mind may not be exxplicit, but if you can puzzle them oyt, the rest of their work tends to make more sense.
Collingwood's method forces us to be active readers, looking for sense in the text, rather than reading passively and hoping to absorb something.
……
It therefore makes more sense for most of us to understand Darwin's evolutionary ideas in genetic terms rather than in terms of Darwin's own theories of inheritance.
可以用于口語的詞語和表達(dá)
pose himself/herself a question: 某人給自己提出了一個(gè)問題,這個(gè)可能也有點(diǎn)書面語。
make sense: 平時(shí)語境中也可以用(That makes more sense.) 出自:It therefore makes more sense for most of us to understand Darwin's evolutionary ideas in genetic terms rather than in terms of Darwin's own theories of inheritance.?但是這句話就太書面語了。
easy to read --> readable
has one huge advantage over something: 作比較的時(shí)候可以用
In this way, we can...
嘗試在講的時(shí)候把上面的這些都用上。
