the book treats writing as a tool of thought----a means of understanding sustained acts of inquiry and reflection
They say they want from their students: not issue-based argument, not personal reflection(the "reaction paper"), not passive summary, but analysis, with its patient and methodical inquiry into the meaning of information.
The ability of writers to discover ideas and improve on them in revision depends largely on their ablity to use evidence as a means of testing and devloping ideas rather than just supporting them
Much weak writing is prematurely and too narrowly thesis drvien percisely because people try to formulat the thesis before they have done much (or any) analyzing. (查看原文)
It(Analysis) is a form of detective work that typically pursues something puzzling, something you are seeking to understand rather than something you are already sure you have the answers to. Analysis finds questions where there seemed not to be any, and it. makes connections that might not have been evident at first. (查看原文)
这一节中作者讲到“Using Reading as a Model”。意为阅读时要忽略文本中所包含的信息,而是关注文章的逻辑,结果,方法。 这种做法十分违反一般阅读的习惯。盖一般读书,读报,总是要获取某种信息。故在《金字塔原理》一书中,提出的观点是用简单明了的“金字塔”结构,尽量清晰地向读者传递信息,而非花心思在文章的逻辑和结构上。 我理解是,对于一般的传递信息(Informative)的文章,书籍,使用“金字塔”结构是个好选择。但...

这一节中作者讲到“Using Reading as a Model”。意为阅读时要忽略文本中所包含的信息,而是关注文章的逻辑,结果,方法。
这种做法十分违反一般阅读的习惯。盖一般读书,读报,总是要获取某种信息。故在《金字塔原理》一书中,提出的观点是用简单明了的“金字塔”结构,尽量清晰地向读者传递信息,而非花心思在文章的逻辑和结构上。
我理解是,对于一般的传递信息(Informative)的文章,书籍,使用“金字塔”结构是个好选择。但是对一般的议论性(Argumentative)文字,论文,仅仅理解作者提出的例子,事实并不足够。一篇论文要成立,除了论据可靠,事实明确外,逻辑上的严密和圆满也是非常重要。但是读者都是容易被生动的例子吸引(what they say),而忽略这些事实,能否相互呼应,自洽,并从整体上可靠地证明文章的论点 (what they do)。
所以论据正确并不等于论点正确。“Using Reading as a Model”可能就是为了这一点而提示的的吧。
作者在这里强调 “Applying A Reading as A Lens”,否定了任何快读和略读作用 (Becoming conversant instead of reading for the gist)。 作者这么说,大概是因为这里谈的Reading是为了分析性写作而进行的Reading。为了进行分析,当然首先要尽可能理解原文本的意思。但是如很多书指出,快读和略读有非常重要的作用。因为人的精力始终是有限的。非快读和略读不足以发现“值得”分析和写作的目标。 其实作者在前面写写作技巧的时...

其实作者在前面写写作技巧的时候,有一个很生动的将写作比用电影的比喻。开始是大场景扫过,然后是聚焦,最后是特写。所以谈到Reading不妨也如此。既要”Applying A Reading as A Lens”,也要“Applying A Reading as A Pan”。
但是对大多数人而言,恐怕大多都是泛泛读书,读后无所得,不如不读书。
It(Analysis) is a form of detective work that typically pursues something puzzling, something you are seeking to understand rather than something you are already sure you have the answers to. Analysis finds questions where there seemed not to be any, and it. makes connections that might not have been evident at first.

Suspending judgement is anecessary precursor to thinking analytically because our tendency to judge everything shuts down ourability to see and to think.

Suspending judgement is anecessary precursor to thinking analytically because our tendency to judge everything shuts down ourability to see and to think. As a general rule, you should seek to understand the subject you are analyzing before deciding how you feel about it.
the process of analysis is:
· Divide the subject into its defining parts, its main elements or ingredients.
· Consider how these parts are related, both to each other and to the subject as a whole.引自第5页
Since really serious exposure in public today is assumed to be synonymous with being seen on television, it would seem to follow that televised space is the premier public space. Many things that people say to me on television, however, would never be tolerated in a genuine public space—in a jury box, for example, or even on a city sidewalk. TV is an enormous, ramified extension of the billion...

Since really serious exposure in public today is assumed to be synonymous with being seen on television, it would seem to follow that televised space is the premier public space. Many things that people say to me on television, however, would never be tolerated in a genuine public space—in a jury box, for example, or even on a city sidewalk. TV is an enormous, ramified extension of the billion living rooms and bedrooms in which it’s consumed. You rarely hear a person on the subway talking loudly about, say, incontinence, but on television it’s been happening for years. TV is devoid of shame, and without shame there can be no distinction between public and private. 引自 A toolkit of analytical methods
要注意用词没有性别歧视, sexism 比如 It can be dangerous if a child, after watching TV, decides to practice what he saw. 这是不对的,有人会反问:Do you mean only boys are violent or perhaps stupid enough to confuse TV with reality? 解决的方法是: 1 总是用复数, child->children; he->they 2 总是和 he 后面加 or she, 或者 s/he 3 避免使用代词 吁,做个好人真难。。。

这是不对的,有人会反问:Do you mean only boys are violent or perhaps stupid enough to confuse TV with reality?
解决的方法是:
1 总是用复数, child->children; he->they

3 避免使用代词

Unit 1讲分析性思考具有很强通用性,我觉得所有国内学生都应该学一下,Unit 2 讲行文展开只讲了思路推进式的写法,比较窄一点,最后两个unit属于工具性内容,但对于要出国读书的学生来说看一下也会很有收获,总之,是一本真正在教写作的教材,能吃得下这本书的话,不建议看任何国内的考试型写作教辅
