"我参加了速读课程,用了二十分钟就读完了《战争与和平》。它涉及到俄罗斯。"

Woody Allen

Simplified Meaning:

The quote is making a joke about speed-reading courses that claim to make you read extremely fast. The speaker is exaggerating by saying they read a very long book, "War and Peace," in just twenty minutes. This book is known for being very thick and complex, containing detailed stories about Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. Through this extreme example, the speaker humorously suggests that speed-reading might let you finish reading quickly but miss out on important details. It's like watching a long movie but only seeing the first and last scenes; you won't understand the whole story. In life, this reminds us that some things, like learning or understanding complex topics, take time and can't be rushed if we want to truly grasp them.
