To ‘skim’ a book means to read it rapidly, noticing names, places, dates, and maybe some other facts. Persons get a very limited understanding when reading that way. The more complicated things in a book cannot be learned only by skimming it. Sometimes when a person has much to read, though, ‘skimming’ is their only option.
翻閱、瀏覽
當很快速的翻閱瀏覽一本書時，人們所學得的知識很有限，更豐富、艱深的內容光靠翻閱是無法理解的.有時候當人們需要大量閱讀時，翻閱瀏覽是他們唯一選擇。
