(#18) Week of July 23 - 英语阅读训练组

阅读小组训练第十八周开始了，有关此次训练活动的初衷，请猛戳这里
. 1point 3acres 前几周发起了阅读训练小组素材推荐的活动，我把版里已有的/训练小组同学正在阅读的，都总结到了素材推荐的一楼，欢迎大家继续推荐，请猛戳这里

参与的形式还是不变，希望已经参与的同学继续坚持并保持/提升阅读速度，观望的同学速速加入欢迎大家跟贴交流阅读感受。



===========================我是copy的分割线=============================================

参与形式：copy自己觉得好的句子，注明page number贴出来。同时最重要的，作为练习，必须把这个句法应用在自己生活的场景里面，也写出来。几乎天天都有汇报进度的话，会比较容易坚持。参见隔壁战拖组，凡是一个人单打独斗的，至少是帖子都没有follow下去，计划是否完成旁人就不知道了。跟组的看起来是坚持的要好些。

跟战拖组一样，每人一周只许占1楼，所有讨论集中在一个贴（这里）。一周内每日更新在自己的楼里，每完成一周一个学分。自己选的书或者指定书都可以，但是4周内必须完成（否则也太慢了）。全部学时完成的，还有1学分奖励。


3/26 周一开始吧，争取4周完成一本。任选1本开始就可以。不过大家都读同一本，争取match进度也不错，免得没有监督难以维持。这点暂时随意吧。

============================================================================



暂时就是这些规矩。有其他书推荐的话，下一个学习组里面用。其他建议welcome

Elizabeth would not oppose such an injunction—and a moment's consideration making her also sensible that it would be wisest to get it over as soon and as quietly as possible, she sat down again and tried to conceal, by incessant employment the feelings which were divided between distress and diversion.

I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart."

Nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne without anger such treatment; but Sir William's good breeding carried him through it all;

The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

這周看到的段落,比較感興趣的是所謂禮貌用語.
Mr.Collins的各種禮貌的請教,非常的policte,非常的civility
還有Lizzy在拒絕的時候,委婉的用詞,從迂迴不明顯的拒絕,到實在受不了的坦白(但還是很禮貌的)
讀完的感覺,是social真累人啊...
. Waral dи,
這禮拜時間沒有安排合理...到了週末才開始繼續閱讀..進度到35%
接下來將暫停幾周,直到到學校settle下來...

最近没有认真看non-fiction.不过看了一本 The Ph.D Grind, 觉得对要上phd 和junior phd student肯定会有帮助的。

The Ph.D Grind by Philip Guo
1.        In contrast, current Ph.D students cannot reflect on the entirety of their experiences like I can, and senior researchers who attempt to reflect back on their Ph.D. years might suffer from selective hindsight.
2.        I chose to pursue a Ph.D. instead due to a combination of subliminal parental influences and my own negative experiences with engineering internships through college.
3.        I found the day-to-day work to be mind-numbingly dull.
4.        I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of grimy details involved in getting things done.
5.        To fend off procrastination, I worked tirelessly to impose self-discipline and structure on my workdays. I tried to “micromanage” myself by setting small, bite-sized goals and attacking them every day, hoping that positive results would eventually come.
6.        But a Ph.D student’s fledgling career-and psychological health- will likely be ruined by such a chain of disappointments.
7.        By now it should be clear that having a good idea is necessary but nowhere near sufficient for producing publishable research. Junior researchers-usually Ph.D students- must spend anywhere from hundreds to thousands of hours “sweating the details” to bring that idea to fruition.
8.        This accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without a rare combination of great luck, personal initiative, insightful nudges from generous people, and nearly ten thousand hours of grinding.
9.        In short, this experience pushes people far beyond their physical limits and enables them to emerge stronger as a result.
