Lazy day in reading

in blog •  7 years ago 

Hi, guys!

My lazy day comes to it's end, and there's something I want to tell about it:)

First of all - it's already evening, and I'm still in muscle fever despite all my efforts. Probably I just have to go to the gym again tomorrow to either stop it or completely ruin my ability to move lol. My husband is going to a business trip soon, so I will have one of my "perfectly introverted weekends" when I can lie and read all day and night. Ahhh, I'm really waiting for it:)

Yesterday I bought some indoor plants, and wrote a post about them. I also bought a special lamp that must help them to grow (survive in my case). And you know, what? In the end of the day all leaves were already turned to the lamp. So it really works, plus it has a really nice purple light. 

Since the day was really lazy I've spent 90% of it reading. I decided to read Tolkien again, starting from Hobbit. This is one of the books I prefer reading on the language it was written on (reminder - english is not my native), cause I find all translations really horrible. Well, translation yet may work with "Hobbit", but when it comes to "the Lord of the Rings" it just can cause tears and cannibalism. So I prefer reading slower, but in English. 

Have a great evening, dear friends! And good night!

I wish you all the best and will be happy if you'll support me with vote:)

Love, Inber

Happy reading in Middle Earth ...

I remember once I read one book in English and clarified every unfamiliar word on the Oxford explanatory dictionary, which is also all in English.
Not for long this happiness lasted, but it was really cool.
Speed certainly was not even a turtle, but like a snail.
But everything was clear and my vocabulary of English words constantly increased.

Translate using Google translation faster, but you do not grow, because you do not work yourself. But here everything depends on your goal.

Помнится, когда-то давно я читал одну книгу на английском и прояснял каждое незнакомое слово по Оксфорскому толковому словарю, который тоже весь на английском.
Недолгого это счастье продолжалось, но это было реально круто.
Скорость конечно была даже не черепашья, а как у улитки.
Но зато всё было понятно и мой словарный запас английских слов постоянно увеличивался.

Переводить с помощью Гугл-переводчика быстрее, но сам ты не растёшь, потому что не работаешь сам. Но тут уже всё зависит от вашей цели.

Честно говоря не вижу разницы между заглядыванием за словом в словарь и в гугл словарь)) Мне нужно подсмотреть максимум одно слово на 50 страниц, читаю с только чуточку медленнее, чем на русском.

Последний абзац это просто общие мысли, это не к Вам лично обращение. Просто я так неоднозначно выразился. Бывает. У Вас то всё нормально с английским, даже я это вижу. )

I enjoy watching the movie really to reading the story...

I really want to get to his books one day. I feel like it's a must
