为什么我背了4000多个单词了，阅读理解还是翻译不出来？ 第1页

单词就象砖头，而文章就象房子，

不奇怪 “为什么我背了4000多个单词了，阅读理解还是翻译不出来？”

因为单词之间还能按照人类的意愿排列组合形成不同的文学作品，

来表达不同的涵义。

有时候， 尽管您每个字都懂， 但是文字后面的意思您不懂也是正常的。

比如， 什么是 To be or not to be ?

比如， 什么是 Calls and puts ? 什么是 Western blot ? 什么是 Greek ? 为什么 Eat my cookie 是下流的段子？ Thank you no thank you 又是啥意思。。

有些很简单的东西在不同的语境里面有不同的意思， 这就和经验/经历有关了。

如果主谓宾句子结构这些东西不熟悉， 您只不过是学会了搬砖，

还没学会拆屋或者造房子呢。

对了， 还没搞修辞呢。。修辞是增强言辞或文句效果的艺术手法。自语言出现，人类就有修辞的需要。修辞可以令人修饰自己的文章、语言，清楚传达自己的意思，以吸引别人的注意力、加深别人的印象和抒情效果。更清楚了解别人的意思，不会受修辞手法的影响而有所误解。便于分析、欣赏文学作品，以进一步理解其作品意涵。

英语中少说有21种修辞（Rhetoric）手法

Simile明喻、Metaphor 隐喻，暗喻、Metonymy 借喻，转喻、Synecdoche 提喻、Synaesthesia 通感，联觉，移觉、Personification 拟人、Hyperbole 夸张、Parallelism 排比， 平行、Euphemism 委婉，婉辞法、Allegory 讽喻，比方、Irony 反语、Pun 双关、Parody 仿拟、Rhetorical question 修辞疑问、Antithesis 对照，对比，对偶、Paradox 隽语、Oxymoron 反意法，逆喻、Climax 渐进法，层进法、Anticlimax 渐降法。

慢慢来吧。

试试俺写的段子， 中英对照。两个段落， 一中一英

对话线材 – 我读书少该怎么玩线材？ — 我读书少您别耍我系列

Let's Talk About Audio Cables - Please enlighten me since you are facing an uneducated newbie - Please kindly don't screw me while preaching

发烧音乐也懂人类的厚黑学， 看见贱金属就不往前走。所以发烧线材里面内置谈判专家， 这些内置的谈判专家的职责就是说服发烧音乐信号往前走。因为发烧线材里面内置的谈判专家知道， 喇叭/耳机单元的音圈里面是铝线， 是贱金属。

Music signals played by Hi-End equipment are so intelligent and picky that they follow their owners' opinions. These signals will halt before reaching the spot where high purity copper meets base metal such as aluminium, the main element that consists of enamel wire wound up as the voice coil. Artificial Intelligence (AI) had long been integrated into Hi-End audio cables and every such cable incorporates a negotiation expert under its snake skin for application of snake oil. The built-in negotiation experts will talk the Hi-End music signals into proceeding because they can come up with at lease one good cause.

如果谈判专家偷懒，喇叭/耳机单元就会不响。发烧线材里面内置的谈判专家一上场， 就会告诉发烧音乐信号：”19世纪的时候铝不是贱金属， 血统也是贵金属。 1827年弗里德里希·维勒用金属钾还原熔融的无水氯化铝得到较纯的金属铝单质。由于取之不易，当时铝的价格高于黄金。" 这样一来， 讲道理的发烧音乐信号就肯往前走了。

If the built-in negotiation experts choose to lay back, speaker drivers and/or headphone drivers will stop working. Once the built-in negotiation experts get back on track, they will tell the Hi-End music signals a story:

"In 1827 German chemist Friedrich Wöhler conducted an experiment by mixing anhydrous aluminium chloride with potassium and produced a powder of aluminium. Back then aluminium was precious and noble as gold."

Thus, the Hi-End music signals will ponder it a satisfactory reason and agree to move forward into the voice coil in speaker or headphone driver to produce vibrations.

你知道这种调音的 KNOW-HOW, 没有技术储备的厂家是不掌握的。可想而知怎么把能说会道的谈判专家内置到发烧线材里面需要长期的文化沉淀。

You know, this kind of KNOW-HOW is proprietary and unknown to manufacturers that do not have an R&D team of drama writers. You can imagine how hard it is to fabricate negotiation experts into the audio grade cables. That takes centuries.

另一个段子

(超导体)耳机发烧：为啥放屁会让耳机的音质突然变好？

Why Stinky Fart Makes Headphones Sound Far Better?

吃饱了回来， 老乡放了一个没有声音的臭屁。

俺在听着耳机呢， 没想到不期而遇的臭屁让平时听惯了的音乐更通透， 三频更均衡了， 声场大了一圈， 感觉更宽松了。于是， 俺摘下耳机问：

“瘦子， 你是不是放了个大臭屁？ ”

老乡点了点头算是无声地承认了。

俺接着问， “你说说， 为什么屁会让耳机的音质突然变好？”

瘦子沉吟半晌， 说:

“屁这个东西牵涉到很多国家机密。你知道吗？ 屁里面除了甲烷， 还有超导体。”

俺一下子精神振作起来，

“屁里面还有超导体？ 你别欺负俺没读过书啊。你说话有没有科学根据呢？”

瘦子严肃地说:

“硫化氢是无机化合物，化学式为H2S。正常是无色、易燃的酸性气体，浓度低时带恶臭，气味如臭蛋；浓度高时反而没有气味（因为高浓度的硫化氢可以麻痹嗅觉神经）。2015年，物理学者发现，硫化氢在温度203K 极度高压的环境下发生超导相变，是目前已知最高温度的超导体。”

Hack-a-day: Why Stinky Fart Can Make Your Headphones Sound Much More Awesome than Changing Power Chords

Author: BirdyBird

After we came back to our dorm from the McD, my old time buddy Sean cut the cheese in a stealthy fashion.

I was listening to my Hi-end headphones. The unexpected odour of fart suddenly made my listening experience superb. The bass, the mid and the treble became drop dead balanced and a lot more music details were unveiled. Tremendous amount of timbres gushed to my eardrums.

“This is true music”, I thought， “This is unpresidented!!!”

I took off my headphones and asked Sean,

“Hi bro, did you just let out a big fat stinky fart?”

my old time buddy blushed and nodded silently as a shy acknowledgment.

I kept going and asked,

“Tell me why your stinky fart makes my headphones sound awesome, please?”

Sean did not answer before a long break,

“Speaking of the fart, there are some state secrets involved and I am not sure if I am at liberty to disclose. You know, besides methane, there is some superconductor in my fart.”

I almost jumped up in joy,

“Superconductor in your fart? Never heard of it! Is it even scientific?”

Sean replied with a poker face,

“Hydrogen sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula H2S. It is a colorless gas with the characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is very poisonous, corrosive, and flammable.Being heavier than air, it tends to accumulate at the bottom of poorly ventilated spaces. Although very pungent at first, it quickly deadens the sense of smell, so victims may be unaware of its presence until it is too late. At pressures above 90 GPa (gigapascal), hydrogen sulfide becomes a metallic conductor of electricity. When cooled below a critical temperature this high-pressure phase exhibits superconductivity. The critical temperature increases with pressure, ranging from 23 K at 100 GPa to 150 K at 200 GPa. And it is the superconductor known to human with the highest critical temperature as of now.”

是吧？两个段落， 一中一英， 很容易阅读吧？

看了中文以后再看英文， 容易多了。

这其实是有个说法的， “Fake it Till You Make it”。

一开始可以装作看， 装久了就真的能看了。
