After reading, why can’t I use English to sketch the content in anything but Chinese? Can you give me an idea on how I can remember it in English?
读完文章之后，我为什么不能用英语来概括文章大意而只能用中文?您能告诉我该如何用英语记忆文章内容吗?
You can train yourself systematically to recall a text in English by making notes. You need different notes for different styles of texts. For example, if you are reading a narrative, make notes on the sequence of events: before the event, the event, after the event. If you are reading a description, make notes on the people or things described and their main features. If you are reading an argument, make notes on the points ‘for’ and ‘against’. Once you have these notes, use them to give a little talk in English which attempts to recreate what you have just read. Alternatively, use the notes to ‘say the text to yourself’ as a mental exercise. You will soon get into the habit of not only reading in English, but thinking in English as well. Thinking in a foreign language is an indispensable requirement of fluency.
你可以通过做笔记的方式系统地训练自己用英语回忆文章的能力。不同题材的文章，你做的笔记也应相应地不同。比如，如果你读的是一篇记叙文，你可以按事件的顺序做笔记：事发之前，事情经过，事后结果。如果你读的是一篇描写性的文章，你可以就所描述的人和事做笔记，并记录其主要特点。如果你读的是一篇议论文，你可以记录下赞成观点与反对观点。如果你有了这些笔记作辅助，你就可以用英语交谈，复述你读到的内容。或者利用笔记“自述”，作为一种记忆性的训练。这样你就可以养成一种不但用英语阅读，而且用英语思维的习惯，用英语思维是可以流畅地说英语的一个必备要求。
