I discovered the worth of super-slow(超慢速) reading years ago. Formerly, if I had been really interested in a book, I would race from page to page,eager to know what came next. Now, I decided,I had to become a miser(吝啬者)with words stretch every sentence like a poor man spending his last dollar. I had started with the practical object of making my book last. But by the end of the second week I began to realize now much I was getting from super-slow reading itself. Sometimes just a particular phrase caught my attention, sometimes a sentence. I would read it slowly, analyze it, read it again, then sit for twenty minutes thinking about it before moving on. I was like a pianist studying a piece of music, phrase by phrase, rehearsing(排练) it, trying to discover recreate exactly what the composer was trying to convey.
