I'm pretty sure I've tried every way there is to read by now,
我很确定到目前为止我已经尝试过各种读书的方法，
but here's something that I've found to be the most effective if you're going for maximum productivity and effeciency.
但如果你追求高效率的话，这里有我发现的效率最高的方法。
Basically what I do is I listen to the audiobook at twice the speed while I look at the book and follow along.
基本上我听有声读物的速度是看书的两倍。
And there are so many great things about that...
这样做有很多好处…
First of all, it combines two senses, seeing and hearing,
首先，它结合了视觉和听觉两种感知，
so you end up with really good comprehension while being really effecient at the same time.
所以读到最后充分理解的同时又兼具效率。
It's kind of like these videos... Imagine if you were only hearing or seeing...
这就有点类似于这些视频…设想一下如果只听或者只看…
It just wouldn't be as effective, so combining the two senses does magic for comprehension.
就不会那么有效果了，所以把二者结合起来对理解来说有如神助。
Another possibly even more important benefit is that it keeps you in a straight line and keeps you going.
另一个可能更重要的好处是它会让你一直读下去。
So you're not going back and rereading things, you're not taking all kinds of unnecessary breaks and pauses,
所以你不用回看重新的读，不会产生一些不必要的中断和停顿，
your eyes aren't running around all the time, and you're not getting distracted every two minutes.
你的眼睛不用一直转，也不会隔几分钟就走神。
So again, I'm pretty sure I've tried everything at this point,
所以我很确定在这一点上尝试了所有方法，
and this is absolutely one of the best and the most effective and effecient ways to read.
这绝对是最好最高效的读书方式。
You can take a book like The Richest Man in Babylon and finish it in literally only 2 hours.
你可以在两个小时内读完《巴比伦最富有的人》。
You can take a book like How to Win Friends and Influence People and finish it in about 3.5 hours.
在大约3.5个小时内读完《人性的弱点》。
You can basically finish most books in 5 hours unless you're reading Ayn Rand,
除了艾茵·兰德的作品，其他大部分书籍你都可以在5个小时内读完，
in which case, let's be honest, you're screwed no matter what you do.
说实话，读艾茵·兰德的书不管你做什么都无济于事。
So let me just address one other thing... Every time I talk about effeciency with reading,
那么让我来说一下另一件事…每次我讨论高效读书的时候，
someone always points out that you shouldn't be rushing, you should just enjoy the book.
总会有人指出，你不应该那么着急，应该好好享受。
And I actually sympathize with that because I know what it feels like to just relax and read,
我很赞同那种说法，因为我知道轻松阅读的感觉，
and I absolutely love that feeling. But at the same time, I don't just read for pleasure.
我确实很喜欢那种感觉。但同时，我读书不仅是为了娱乐。
Most of the time, I read with the sole purpose of improving my life,
大多数情况下，我读书的唯一目的是提升自己的生活，
and the more I read the better my life gets, so there's absolutely a sense of urgency for me.
读的越多生活就越好，所有对我来说有一种紧迫感。
Anyway... I really hope you try this out and find it useful.
无论如何…我真心希望你能尝试一下，并看到它的作用。
It has definitely been one of the best things I've introduced into my life lately.
这是最近进入我生活的最好的东西了。
I don't have some crazy attention span,
我没有超长的注意力，
so I get tired and distracted after a while but this keeps me going and keeps me focused.
所以我也会疲劳和走神，但这种方法可以让我集中精力。
I think I've read one book a day for seven days in a row now,
我觉得现在自己可以连续七天每天读一本书，
which is something that I definitely wouldn't be able to do if I wasn't using this method.
如果没用这种方法的话，我不可能做到。
