the original text of ** par.58

＊原文＊


Learning new critical-thinking skills is a lot like learning new physical skills. You cannot learn simply by being told what to do or by watching others. You have to practice, and frequently the practice will be both rewarding and hard work. Our goal is to make your learning as simple as possible. However, acquiring the habit of critical thinking will initially take a lot of practice.

　クリティカル・シンキングの技術を学ぶことは、身体を使って新しい技術を覚えこむのと似ています。誰かが行ったり言ったりしていることをただ見聞きしているだけでは、いつまでも習得できません。自分で練習を積むしかないのです。本書では、それを効率的に練習できるように工夫しています。

To learn the skills of critical thinking is similar to cram your mind with new skills to use your body. You can’t acquire it forever as you are just looking and listening what someone’s doing and saying. There is only way to get these skills practice again and again on your own. This book has been devised to be able to practice it effectively.

To learn the skills of critical thinking is similar to cram your mind with new skills to use your body. You can’t acquire it forever as you are just looking and listening what someone’s doing and saying. There is only way to get these skills practice again and again on your own. This book has been devised to be able to practice it effectively.



[苦労した点]
・第一文、similarのあとのto ⇒ to + 名詞
・ 第二文のas (以外に表現が思い浮かばず…)
・第三文・四文の目的語
クリティカル・シンキングの技術を学ぶこと（＝身体を使って新しい技術を覚え込むこと）が目的語ですよね？ないと意味が通らないような気がして第三文には無理矢理 to get these skillsを入れてしまったのですが、文章にはこのような記載はないし、どことなくくどい気もします… ここは省略しても意味は通りますか？

　⇒日本語訳にひっぱられないで！

the original text of ** par.46

＊原文＊


In contrast, strong-sense critical thinking requires us to apply the critical questions to all claims, including our own. By forcing ourselves to look critically at our initial beliefs, we help protect against self-deception and conformity. It is easy to just stick with current beliefs, particularly when many people share them. But when we take this easy road, we run the strong risk of making mistakes we could otherwise avoid.



------------- きりとり -------------



これとは対照的に、「積極的クリティカル・シンキング」とは、あらゆる主張（自分自身のを含め）に対して、クリティカル・クエスチョンを発する態度を指します。自らの信念をも客観視することにより、自己欺瞞や付和雷同に陥らずに済みます。自分の信念に固執するのは簡単です。特に、大勢の人がそれを支持している場合はなおさらそうです。しかし、このような安易な道を選んでいると、本来は避けられるはずの間違いを犯す危険性が高くなります。


On the other hand, “active-critical thinking” refers to the attitude of asking critical questions to various claims (include your own it). You will not need to fall into self-deception and following blindly to take an objective view of your own beliefs. It is easy to stick to your beliefs, especially in the case that a lot of people support it. However, choosing easy way just like this, you increase your risk of making a mistake that should be avoided primary.

In contrast, “actively critical thinking” refers to the attitude of asking critical questions to any claims you find, including your own. When you take an objective look at your own belief, you don’t either deceive yourself or blindly follow other’s opinions. It is easy for you to stick to your belief, especially when you are supported by many. But, when you take this easy way, you are more likely to make mistakes which you could avoid.
