把英语用起来，一起来用英语“读懂”这段英语：workovertime
不要以为下面的英语“好简单”，因为“我都读懂了”。你“读懂”的只是中文。
也不要把下面的英语“读成”中文“才能懂”：你的“英语阅读”应该给你一个“用”(已知)英语的机会和锻炼。
Paul:Yes,it'sreallyaveryexcitingandrewardingjob.Atthemomentwe'redesigning
newsoftware.
Jennifer:Really?You'vealwaysbeenclever,Paul.Iknewyou'ddosomething

Paul:Notreally,Iworkregularlymostofthetime.ButonFridaynightIsometimesstayintheofficelate,dealingwithanythingthat'sunfinished.
Jennifer:Goodforyou,Paul.Youmustcomeandseemesometimeandtellmeall
aboutitoveracupoftea.
Paul:Icertainlywill.Whataboutyou,Jennifer?Howisyourjob?
Jennifer:ImstillanaccountantwithChemicalAssociates.
现在，让我们一起英语“用”起来“读懂”它，让“英语阅读”变成“用”(已知)英语的“阅读”：
1)Paul:Yes,it'sreallyaveryexcitingandrewardingjob.Atthemomentwe'redesigningnewsoftware.
1.Well,ifajobisrewarding,yougetwhatyouwantfromit
2.Atthemomentmeansrightnow
3.Ifyou'redesigningnewsoftware,you'redevelopingnewsoftware.
如果这些英语都会用，就可以直接把它们用起来“读懂”这句英语了。
2)Jennifer:Really?You'vealwaysbeenclever,Paul.Iknewyou'ddosomething
challengingandcreative.Doyouoftenworkovertime?
1.Okay.Igotyou.Ifyou'redoingsomethingchallenging,you'redoingsomethingdifficult.So,adifficultjobisachallengingjob.
Butchallengingismuchbetterthandifficult.So,inthefuture,I'mnotgoingtosaysomethingdifficultanymore,I'llsay,instead,somethingchallenging.
只有用英语学英语，我们才能在不同英语词汇中考虑“好”与“不好”(更好)的修辞问题，而如果只问“中文什么意思？”，则是只问语法问题，即对错问题。所以，必须学会用英语学英语，才能从只会用语法学英语上升到好和更好的修辞问题。
2.Okay.Igotyou.Ifyouworkmorethan8hoursaday,youworkovertime.Forexample,ifyouwork9hoursaday,youworkonehourovertime.
能用学过的英语morethan8hoursaday理解overtime，就没必要再用它的中文“读懂”它。
3)Paul:Notreally,Iworkregularlymostofthetime.
Okay.Igotyou.Ifyouworkregularly,youwork8hoursaday.Youdonotworkovertime.Youwork9to5aday.
见到workregularly只能“说”它的中文，却说不出上面的英语吗？见到workregularly不能把它跟上面的workovertime联系起来吗？
这暴露了我们所谓的“英语阅读”哪些问题？
4)ButonFridaynightIsometimesstayintheofficelate
Okay.Ifyoustaylateinoffice,youworkovertime,youworkmorethan8hours,youdonotworkregularly.
只有这样的英语阅读，才是真正的英语阅读。
5)dealingwithanythingthat'sunfinished.
用“修辞”(好坏)，而不是“语法”(对错))“读懂”这句英语：
Okay.Igotyou.Anythingunfinishedmeansanythingthatisnotfinished.Butunfinishedismuchbetterthanisnotfinished.Sonexttime,I'mnotgoingtosaysomethingthatisnotfinishedanymore,I'llsaysomethingunfinished.
6)Jennifer:Goodforyou,Paul.Youmustcomeandseemesometimeandtellmeall
aboutitoveracupoftea.
Okay.Igotyou.SaysomethingoveracupofteameansSaysomethingwhilewe'redrinkingacupoftea.ButOveracupofteaisbetterthandrinkacupoftea.
7)Paul:Icertainlywill.
CertainlymeansOfcourse,surely,noproblem,anddefinitely.Butdefinitelyisbetterthancertainly.
这也是“修辞”思考学习英语，而不是只问：certainly中文什么意思？
你愿意下苦力，用这些(已知)英语记这段英语吗？看得出用中文“读懂”英语跟用英语读懂英语有什么根本性的区别，自己前者无法比拟后者之处吗？
