参考译文
你可能会说阅读时做标记会减慢你的阅读速度。可能会。这是阅读速度减慢的原因之一。我们大多数人都被“阅读速度是检验我们智商的标准”这种观点所蒙蔽。并没有明智的阅读速度这种事情。有些东西阅读起来应该迅速而轻松,而有些则应该缓慢,甚至是费力的阅读。阅读时的智商体现在根据不同读物的价值用不同方式阅读的能力。至于好书,重要的不是看你能看多少本,而是看你能理解多少本,即有多少能变成你自己的东西。几个朋友胜过成千的泛泛之交。如果这是你的目标——这也应当是你的目标,那么花比读一份报纸更多的时间和精力去读一本好书,你就不会感到不耐烦了。
你可能还有反对读书做标记的另一个理由。你不能把做过标记的书借给朋友,因为没有一个人在阅读的时候不会被你做的标记分散注意力。
另外,你不会愿意借书给别人,因为一本做过标记的书是一种思想日志,而把它借出去就像把你的思想泄露出去一样。如果你的朋友希望看你的《莎士比亚》或《联邦党人文集》,那么温和而坚定地告诉他自己去买一本。你可以把你的车或你的衣服借给他,但是你的书就像你的脑袋或是你的心脏一样,是你身体的一部分。
答案及解析
reasons【解析】本句中的“doing it”指代slow down your reading,本句意为“这是阅读速度减慢的原因之一。”很容易得知此空应填“原因”。
