亲爱的酷星人，大家好哇。
最近不少同学觉得，马上要开学了，繁忙的课程啊、作业啊什么又要把时间割成一块一块的，暑期那种躲在家什么也不干，窝着看一天书的日子就要结束了，略微有点不开心。
所以小酷今天（假装）请来了比尔盖茨，为大家揭露他是如何在日常超级繁忙的商业事务、人际交往等等那么多事中，还能抽出身来，做到每天不间断读书的。

I don let myself start a book that Im not gonna finish.
——Bill Gates

Take notes in the margins
（在书的边沿做好笔记）
You know when you e reading, you have to be careful that you really are concentrating, particularly if its a non-fiction book, are you taking the new knowledge and sort of attaching to knowledge you have?
“你知道，当你在阅读时，你必须要小心，确保你真的集中注意力了”
“尤其是阅读非小说类书籍的时候，你是否正在接受新知识，并能将它与你所拥有的知识联系起来？”
For me, taking notes helps make sure that Im really thinking hard about whats in there. If i disagree with the book, sometimes it takes a long time to read the book because im writing so much in the margin.
“对我来说，做笔记可以帮助我确保我自己在认真思考书里的内容。”
“有时我不同意书的内容，在这种情况下，我读这本书要花很长的时间，因为我要在边沿写很多的笔记。”
Its actually kind of frustrating. Oh please say something I agree with so I can get through to the end of this book.
“其实这样有点令人沮丧：哦请写一些我同意的内容吧，这样我才能看完这本书。”

Don start what you can finish
（别看那些你看不完的书）
So theres this one, Its a fiction book called Infinite Jest, so Im just trying to decide if I started or not, because I watched the movie The End of the Tour, I loved it David Foster Wallace comes across as a super interesting broad thinking person.
“有一次我看到本小说叫《无尽的玩笑》，我一直在考虑是否开始读这本书，因为我之前看了这个书原作者改编的电影《寂寞公路》，我非常喜欢，大卫是一个超级有趣，思维很广泛的人。”
If the book was like two or three hunreds page book, theres no doubt as soon as I watched that movie I dive in, but its quite long and complicated, and you know I don want to make an exception, its my rule to get to the end.
“如果这是本大概两三百页的书，毫无疑问，我一看完那部电影就会立马跳入坑中，但实际上，这本书又长又复杂，而我不想破例，我的原则是每看一本书就要看完。”

Paper books > ebooks
（纸质书>电子书）
Overtime I will make the switch, but when Im just sitting there at night reading often a paper magazine or the book, Im used to that.
“随着时间的推移，我会有所改变，但只要是我晚上坐在那，想看点东西的话，我通常会看一本纸质的杂志或书，我习惯了。”
Its ridiculous because I care I have whole book bag that goes on my trips with me, and its voluminous and antiquated.
“这感觉有点可笑，我旅行的时候，关注最多的是我巨大的书包，虽然它非常重，而且过时了。”

Block out an hour
（封锁自己一小时）
And if you e reading books like these, youd want to be sitting down for an hour at a time, because otherwise just getting your mind around, okay what was I reading is not the kind of thing you can do 5 minutes here 10 minutes there, magazine articles fit, our short Youtube videos fit into those little slots.
“如果你像我这样读书的话，你会想一次坐上一个小时。因为时间太短，你就很难把你的注意力集中起来，你会在这里待5分钟，那里待10分钟，一会儿看看杂志，一会儿刷刷油管视频。”
And so you know everynight Im reading a little over an hour and so I can take my current book and make some progress.
“（为了避免这样）每天晚上我都要读一个多小时书，所以现在我才可以看这么多书，并取得一些进步。”
