【原】阅读外刊学英文(30)

正所谓“问渠那得清如许，为有源头活水来。” 今晚昕妈抽空推出《阅读外刊学英文》第三十期，带你领略这种自在其中的阅读乐趣，帮助童鞋们尽快实现无障碍阅读。

                     阅读技巧指南

1.培养英语阅读和思考习惯，尽量摈弃母语的思维定式，学会通过上下文逻辑关系、词缀、行文衔接等推断生词意思，进而可以深挖文本，了解字里行间的意思。

2.尽自己最大的努力理解文章，把握主旨，并不强求逐字逐句去理解透彻。如果遇到生词，先猜一下它的意思，再看注释。学会通篇读下来，理解大意，抓住主要观点。从全文角度理解文章总体意思，要比完全理解每一个小细节更重要。

3.根据自己实际主动学习，查缺补漏，通过阅读不断提升。阅读的量积累到一定程度，我们的英文水平就会有质的飞跃。

4.不要为了阅读而阅读，阅读既是一种享受原汁原味语言魅力的过程，更是一个学习借鉴的积累进程。一篇好的文章，其中的表达，包括词汇、句式、语法等层面都会有很多值得我们学习积累的地方。

A 1,300-foot, 220,000-ton container ship that has been blocking traffic in the Suez Canal for nearly a week is finally free and once again underway, onboard tracking sites and livestreamed video from the scene indicate.

Monday afternoon local time, as tugboat horns blared in celebration for having freed the grounded ship, the Ever Given was seen slowly making its way in the canal. Marinetraffic.com showed the vessel pointed north for the first time since last Tuesday, when in high winds and low visibility it became cross-ways in the canal and ran aground, shutting down all ship traffic in the vital waterway.

"She's free," an official involved in the salvage operation said, according to Reuters.

"We pulled it off!" Peter Berdowski, CEO of Boskalis, the salvage firm hired through SMIT Salvage to rescue the Ever Given and get commerce moving through the waterway again, said in a statement.

"I am excited to announce that our team of experts, working in close collaboration with the Suez Canal Authority, successfully refloated the Ever Given on 29 March at 15:05 hrs local time (9:05 a.m. ET), thereby making free passage through the Suez Canal possible again," he said.

By early afternoon ET, Ever Given was making about 10 knots (11.5 mph) as it headed into Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water halfway between the north and south ends of the canal where the ship is to be inspected to make sure it didn't sustain any serious damage either at the time of the initial grounding or during attempts to free it.
