It's not essential to understand each word when skimming. 略读是用来快速获取最重要的信息，或“主旨”。扫视文本，找到重要的信息。使用略读可以快速进入状态，了解最近的经济状况。略读时，我们不需要了解每一个词语的意思。

 Examples of Skimming: 略读的例子：

 2.Scanning

翻阅

Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning. 翻阅是用来寻找某条特定的信息。扫视文本，找出你需要的具体某条信息。在寻读的时候，如果看到不理解的词语或短语也不必担心。
