而今，我常常是翻上两三页书注意力就开始溜号，坐立不安，思维中断，进而想找点别的事情做做。

Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do.

不过，如果你这样做的话，你就中断了你的思维过程，而这一思维过程是你的努力最有成效所必需的。

If you do, however, you interrupt the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive.

整整八个小时，头脑思维中断，他们只是呆板地工作，重复着相同的动作。

For eight hours, brain is on hold, dead on the job. Going through the motions.
