英文阅读效率提升指南:如何用DiffMind一键总结长难文献?

For international students, researchers, or working professionals who need to stay informed about overseas news,Reading List It will always be a heavy weight on my heart.

The professor sent out three PDFs this week, each 50 pages long; an industry report just came out, packed with dense English jargon. We often find ourselves in this state of despair:

  • I opened the file, looked at the screen full of English words, and sighed.
  • I forced myself to read three pages, only to find my mind completely blank and I couldn't remember anything about it.
  • You've spent ages looking up words in the dictionary, only to find the deadline is tonight, and you're still stuck on the Introduction.

Three major obstacles to English reading“

  1. Information overload: Academic papers or professional reports are often concise and full of concepts, with little fluff. A single paragraph might contain three complex theoretical models, which is too much for the brain to process.
  2. Lack of focus: I kept getting distracted while reading. After finishing a paragraph, I didn't know what the main argument was. Every sentence seemed important, yet none of them seemed important at the same time.
  3. Slow comprehension: Reading in a non-native language is inherently slow, and when faced with long sentences and unfamiliar words, reading fluency becomes extremely poor, severely damaging self-confidence.
