scan,是浏览,一般是带着问题,为寻找答案去读。
skim略读,理解掌握文章大意,与扫读(glance)意思一样。属于方法方面。
scan审读,快速索所需特定信息,与跳读(skip)意思一样,属于技能方面。
skim就是 read sth quickly in order to find a particular point or
the main point即快速阅读以找到文章的中心思想/主要意思。
If you skim through the play too quickly, you'll forget the
plot. 如果你读剧本读得太快,就会忘记剧中主要情节。
scan就是 look at every part of sth carefully, especially because
you are looking for a particular thing or
person即快速阅读以找到某一具体的信息
His mother scanned his face to see if he was telling the
truth. 他母亲察看他的面色看他是不是在讲真话。
skim和scan的区别是,skim是选择性的跳读,scan是浏览式的泛读,在国外每学期每门课程的referencebook都有几十本,不像国内每门课就一本所谓的教材,但事实上没有一本教材是可以称得上完全没有纰漏的,所以在国外写essay的时候就要看很多书,但并不是每本书从头看到尾.
