Here's the difference between the new and the old way.This is you, and here are your favorite websites. You log on to your computer, and you're looking for something new.You go out to your favorite blogs.
让我们看看新旧方法的区别，这是你，这是你喜欢的站点。你打开电脑，开始冲浪，先瞧瞧收藏的博客。
Anything new?
-有更新吗？ 
 No.
-没有。
You go out to your favorite news sites.
转而访问常去的新闻网站。
Anything new? Nope.
-有更新吗？  -没有。
 Every time you look for something new and it’s not there, you've wasted valuable time.This is the old way.Now, let's consider the new and fast way,which is simply taking these arrows and turning them the other direction.This means the new things from blogs and new things from your news sites come to you instead.It's like Netflix compared to the video store.  
 每次想看更新的内容却失望而归，还浪费了大把时间，老方法该淘汰啦！现在，我们有又新又快的方式，只用简单地改变这些箭头的方向，博客和新闻站点的更新将会主动来找你。这就像Netflix（提供在线影片租赁  并且免费配送）和音像店之间的区别。
 So, what we're talking about is using a single website that becomes your home for reading all the new stuff that's coming from your favorite websites. There are two steps to getting started. The first step is you need a home for reading new posts. This is a website called a reader. All you need is a free account. 
 新方法通过设置一个站点作为个人主页，来收集所有你喜欢的站点的更新。尝试新方法需要两步。首先找到一个站点来读取推送内容，这个站点就叫阅读器。只需一个帐号就能免费使用。
Google Reader,I use a site called Google Reader. It looks like this.My favorite sites are listed on the left, and on the right I can scroll 1 through all the new posts from my favorite sites in a single place.
我的阅读器是Google Reader ，它把我喜欢的站点列在左侧，右侧可以浏览收藏站点的更新内容。
 So, to complete step one, you need to sign up for a reader. Step number two, is to set up a connection between your reader and your favorite websites.Setting up these connections is called subscribing 2, and it's really important.Nearly every blog and news site offers the ability for you to subscribe 3 so updates in these sites show up here in your reader.To set up these subscriptions 5, look for funny little icons 7.  
 第一步  注册一个阅读器账号。第二步  建立阅读器和你喜欢的站点之间的联系，建立联系的操作叫做订阅，这步操作十分重要，几乎每个博客和新闻站点都提供了订阅功能。通过订阅，站点的更新情况会显示在阅读器里。在网站上找到这些按钮就可以订阅了。
This is the standard orange one .
这是标准橙色订阅按钮。
You may also see these. These little icons say,"Hey look! Subscribe to me! I can save you time!"Once you find one of these buttons on your favorite site, click on it and the page that appears will give you everything you need to subscribe.
还有这种按钮。这些小图标像在说，“猛击我！我帮你节省时间！”在喜欢的站点找到这种按钮，单击后出现的页面能帮你完成订阅过程。
After you click that button, one of two types of pages will appear. This is one that provides one click access to subscribing in your reader.The other page you're likely to see looks like this - with code on it.If you see this page, copy the address at the top of the page, go to your reader and look for a link that says "Add Subscription 4" or "Add Feed."Click on that, and paste the address into your reader.  
单击它之后有两种类型的页面可能出现，前一种  “一键点击”  就能轻松访问阅读器。另一种页面里有代码，这时复制该页网址，然后到阅读器里找到“订阅”按钮。单击 ,把网址粘贴进你的阅读器。
So, once you've added your subscriptions and the connection is there, new posts begin arriving in your reader.And you'll see why this is the new, faster way to read the web.It's addictive 8, so be careful!
一旦添加了订阅，就建立了联系，新消息会自动推送到你的阅读器中。这么一来，上网变得更便捷啦！别上瘾哦，会变懒的！
A quick recap. There are two things you need to do.Number one is go sign up for a reader. Number two, go to your favorite websites, click on the icon 6 and subscribe. 
让我们回顾一下流程，首先登录一个阅读器，然后到喜欢的站点，点击图标来订阅。
