Professor King, what exactly is critical thinking?
金教授，確切地說到底什么是批判性思考？
Well, when you read critically,
當你進行批判性閱讀的時候，
you should assess the writer's ideas and think about the applications and the conclusions of what the writer is saying.
你應該隨時對作者的想法作出評價，并對作者寫作內容的應用和結論進行思考。
Can you give me an example?
您能給我一個例子嗎？
When you read an academic text,
當你閱讀一篇學術文章的時候，
first you should identify the argument and work out the writer's main line of reasoning.
首先你應該找到論點，并確定作者的主要論證思路。
OK. What then?
恩。接下來呢？
Try to analyze and criticize the argument.
試著去對論點進行分析和批判。
I see.
我明白了。
That's why you often ask whether the argument is presented in a logical way.
難怪您經常問我們論證是否有邏輯了。
Right! Then assess the evidence the writer gives you.
對！然后對作者給出的論據進行評估。
That may be in the form of figures, survey results, examples, etc.
作者提供的論據可以是以數字、調查結果、樣本等等為形式。
How about the writer's conclusions?
那么作者得出的結論呢？
Ask yourself if they are supported by the evidence.
問問你自己作者的結論是否有論據支撐。
Got it, thanks, Professor King.
我懂了，謝謝金教授。
Remember, the key to critical thinking is to read actively
記住，批判性思考的關鍵在于主動閱讀，
and keep asking yourself questions rather than just accepting.
并不斷地向自己提問，而不是簡單的接受。
