scan,skim

scan和skim都可譯為“閱讀、快讀”，都可用作及物和不及物動(dòng)詞，但實(shí)

際上它們有顯著的差別。

1)scan指“查讀”，是依照需要快速掃描出有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)。scan用于此義時(shí)，

可用作及物和不及物動(dòng)詞。比方：

Shescannedtheadvertisementpagesofthenewspapers.她很快地查

讀了報(bào)紙上的廣告頁(yè)。

Ihaven'treadmuchintoityet.I'veonlyscannedthroughit.我

沒(méi)看多少，可是很快地將它查讀了一下。

skim與scan不一樣樣，是“略讀”，指的是跳過(guò)文章的詳細(xì)細(xì)節(jié)不看，在短時(shí)間內(nèi)快速掌握文章的要旨和馬虎。比方：

Ionlyskimmedtheheadlinesofthenewspapereverymorning.每日清早我可是一下的大。IonlyhadtimetoskimthroughthescriptbeforeIflewoverhere.我坐機(jī)來(lái)里以前，只能很快地了一下個(gè)腳本。比：Whenreadingapassage,ourEnglishteacheralwaystellsustoskimthepassagefirstinordertogetthegeneralideaandthenscanthepassageagaininordertofindthespecificinformation.在

意，今后以得所需的詳細(xì)信息。
