Have you ever found yourself highlighting an entire fluff-filled paragraph even though all you really wanted were the key sentences at the beginning and end?
您是否曾发现自己把整个段落都突出显示了出来，尽管您真正想要的只是开头和结尾的关键句子？
In this guide, we're going to learn how to cut fluff from your highlights on-the-fly using the concatenate action tag in Readwise.
在本指南中，我们将学习如何使用 Readwise 中的 "连接 "操作标签即时剪切亮点中的毛边。
The concatenate action tag is a special note taken while you read that combines multiple, non-adjacent highlights into a single annotation in Readwise.
连接操作标签是阅读时的一种特殊注释，可在 Readwise 中将多个不相邻的突出显示合并为一个注释。
Your concatenated highlights will be both shorter and clearer, streamlining your future reviews.
您的摘要将更简短、更清晰，从而简化您今后的审查工作。

The Right Amount of Context
恰当的语境
As you develop the habit of revisiting your highlights, you'll increasingly start to think in terms of your future self.
当你养成重温精彩片段的习惯时，你就会越来越多地开始从未来的自己的角度去思考问题。
As you highlight, for example, you might starting asking: Will my future self be able to understand what this passage is saying and why I highlighted it? To ensure your future self has enough context, you might then also take much longer highlights.
例如，当您突出显示时，您可能会开始问："我未来的自己能理解这段话的意思吗？我未来的自己能否理解这段话的意思以及我为什么要突出强调它？为了确保未来的自己有足够的语境，你也可以用更长的时间来突出重点。
While this context is helpful, the problem is that longer highlights can easily get too long.
虽然这种背景很有帮助，但问题是，较长的亮点很容易变得太长。
Verbose highlights are painful to review, take too long to reread, and contain extraneous content obscuring the big idea you originally wanted to capture.
冗长的重点内容让人难以回顾，重读起来耗时过长，而且其中的无关内容会掩盖你原本想要捕捉的重要思想。
As we like to say, when everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted.
正如我们常说的那样，当一切都被突出显示时，什么也不会被突出显示。
How to Use the Concatenate Action Tag
如何使用 "连接 "操作标记
So how do you use the concatenate action tag to extract complete thoughts without the fluff?
那么，如何使用 "concatenate action"（连接动作）标签来提取完整的想法，而不去掉多余的内容呢？
Simply highlight the first string of text you want to combine and add the note .c1 ("c" for "concatenate"). Then, highlight the second string of text and add the note .c2. Upon importing into Readwise, these two highlights will be combined into a single annotation.
只需选中要合并的第一个文本字符串，并添加注释 .c1 （"c "表示 "连接"）。然后，选中第二个文本字符串并添加注释 .c2 。导入 Readwise 后，这两个高亮部分将合并为一个注释。
For example, you'll sometimes highlight an entire paragraph to preserve sufficient context for your future self when all that were needed were the first and last sentences.
例如，有时你会突出显示整个段落，以便为未来的自己保留足够的上下文，而你需要的只是首句和末句。
Rather than capture that extraneous content, use the concatenate action tag to highlight and note the first sentence .c1 and the last sentence .c2.
与其捕捉这些无关内容，不如使用 concatenate 操作标记来突出显示并注释第一句 .c1 和最后一句 .c2 。
Some additional notes on the concatenate action tag:
关于连接操作标记的一些补充说明：
-
The concatenate action tag works across all e-reading platforms supported by Readwise including Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, and Instapaper.
连接操作标签适用于 Readwise 支持的所有电子阅读平台，包括亚马逊 Kindle、苹果 iBooks 和 Instapaper。 -
Every time you use the note
.c1, you start a new series of concatenation.
每次使用注释.c1时，就会开始一系列新的连接。 -
You can continue concatenating indefinitely (i.e.,
.c3,.c4, ...), but you'll seldom need more than two.
您可以继续无限连接（即.c3,.c4, ...），但很少需要超过两个。 -
We're still refining the presentation, but for now you can tell a passage was concatenated by the ellipsis (...) joining the non-adjacent strings of text.
我们仍在改进演示方式，但现在您可以通过连接非相邻文本串的省略号（...）来判断段落是否被连接。 -
If you want to leave a note in addition to the concatenate action tag, simply hit enter and type your note as you normally would.
如果您想在 "连接 "操作标签之外留下注释，只需点击回车键，然后像平常一样输入注释即可。
