層層套疊的子句、倒裝,或者一句八十個字的維多利亞式長句。閱讀輔助還會把句子拆成意群,讓你看清各部分是怎麼組合起來的,而不是靠猜。改寫基於 i+1 可理解性輸入的理念:難到能學到東西,又剛好落在你的理解範圍內。

Word list用改寫版核對一下你剛才猜的意思對不對;還想更確定,點一下就能看到翻譯。句子裡值得記的用法會被標出來,可以直接從面板加進單字本。
改寫出來的仍然是英文,而不是母語譯文。這樣一個難句仍然是一次英文輸入,而不是一次跳出英文的語言切換。
這是對整句話的忠實重述,不會為了簡短刪掉內容,也不會悄悄丟掉細節。
你在正讀的這一頁、卡住的這一句上點開它,而不是把整段複製到另一個 App 裡。
