10個讓你擠出更多時間讀書的小技巧

　　1. Always have a book with you.

　　隨身攜帶圖書。

　　When you carry a book around with you all the time, it’s less likely that you’ll play with your phone or daydream whenever you’re caught waiting for something.

　　如果你一直隨身攜帶圖書，當你在等待的時候， 就不會老是玩手機或是做白日夢了。

　　If you use your waiting time to read, you’ll be able to finish many more books in the long run.

　　如果你把等待的時間用來閱讀，從長遠來看，你會看完很多書。

　　2. Set aside time to read every night before you go to bed.

　　每晚上床睡覺之前，抽出一段時間來閱讀。

　　10 or 15 minutes of reading before you go to bed is a good way to unwind.

　　睡覺前看10到15分鐘的書，是放松的好方法。

　　3. Get enough sleep.

　　保證充足的睡眠。

　　This might sound like a tip that belongs in a different article, so allow me to explain.

　　這個方法看起來好像不應該放在這里，我來解釋一下吧。

　　Many people want to read on the bus or subway ride to work, but because they’re sleep-deprived, they decide to take a nap instead.

　　很多人都想在上班的路上在公交車或地鐵上看書，但是因為很困，所以時間都用來打盹了。

　　If you’re well-rested, you can use your commute to do some valuable reading.

　　如果你休息得很好，你就可以利用坐車的時間去看一些有價值的書。

　　4. Use your finger or a pen as a guide when you’re reading.

　　當你看書的時候，用手指或筆來指引內容。

　　When you do this, you force your eyes not to “jump” around or skip back over the words that you’ve already read, which is the natural tendency of your eyes.

　　我們看書的時候，眼睛會自然地跳過或回看已經看過的內容，如果你用手指或筆來指引內容，就不會出現這個問題。

　　This tip alone will greatly improve your reading efficiency.

　　這個方法會極大地提高你的閱讀效率。

　　5. Use an e-reader.

　　使用電子書。

　　I was initially hesitant about buying an e-reader (I use a Kindle), because I enjoy reading books in their physical form. But I was quickly won over by the convenience of doing all of my reading on the Kindle.

　　剛開始我很猶豫要不要買一個電紙書。(我用的是Kindle)，因為我很享受紙書閱讀的那種感覺。但是在kindle上閱讀實在是太方便了，它很快就把我征服了。

　　The font sizes are adjustable; you can share one book with multiple devices; you can highlight text and make notes; you can use one hand to navigate all of the Kindle’s functions (this is especially useful for me when I find myself holding on to the handlebar of a crowded bus with one hand, and using my Kindle with the other).

　　kindle上的字體大小是可以調整的;你可以使用多臺設備來看一本書;你可以在書上畫重點并做筆記;你可以用一只手瀏覽Kindle的所有功能(這對我來說尤其有用。這樣我在擁擠的公交車上就可以一只手抓著把手，一只手拿著kindle)。

　　6. Buy audio books.

　　購買有聲圖書。

　　If you prefer to do your “reading” by listening, this option will work well for you.

　　如果你喜歡聽書，這種方式會很適合你。

　　7. Read one book at a time.

　　一次只看一本書。

　　It’s tempting to read multiple books at once, but when you focus on finishing one book at a time, you’ll get more out of each book that you read.

　　同時看很多本書看起來很誘人，但是當你每次只專注于一本書時，你從這本書中得到的收獲會比你同時看其他書時從這本書中得到的收獲要大。

　　8. Read while sitting on the “throne.”

　　坐在“寶座”上看書。

　　It’s not recommended that you spend too much time sitting on the toilet, but since you’re going to be there for five minutes or so, why not do some reading? Five minutes of extra reading a day does add up.

　　不推薦你花太多的時間坐在馬桶上，但是反正你每天都要在那里坐上五分鐘，為什么不順便看點兒書呢?每天五分鐘看起來很短，但是堅持下來，加起來時間就不少了。

　　9. Keep a list of books that you’ve read.

　　把你讀過的書列在一張清單里。

　　It’s exciting to see the list growing as time goes by, which will further encourage you to read more.

　　隨著時間的推移，這張清單會越來越長，看到它你會感到很興奮，并且想看更多的書。

　　10. Keep a list of books that you want to read.

　　把你想看的書列在一張清單里。

　　This list represents all the knowledge that you’d like to gain in the future. Referring to this list and updating it regularly will help you stay motivated to keep reading!

　　這張清單代表著以后你想獲得的知識。 看看這張清單并經常更新它，會幫助你保持繼續看書的動力。

　　In closing…

　　最后……

　　Reading a book is like undergoing a chemical reaction. You’ll never be exactly the same when you finish a book, because every book has the power to teach you, encourage you and shape you.
