Proofreading methods before book printing 3. Reading and proofreading method 【 Buke printing factory 】
This method of proofreading has existed since ancient times. At least two people should read the original manuscript, one person should read the proof, and sometimes in order to strengthen the proofreading force, or due to time constraints, one person can read and multiple people can proofread (equivalent to several proofreading sessions). The school law requires close cooperation between both parties to ensure quality. Readers of the original manuscript should read every word, sentence, and punctuation clearly, at a uniform pace, with a tone that matches the meaning of the text. Agreed, similar, and error prone characters, as well as crossing characters, should be explained, and the layout format (separate, blank, occupied, facing, facing, heading, formatting, emphasis, etc.) should also be read. Those who read proofs should be fully engrossed, listening to every word and punctuation clearly and seeing the truth; The explanation to the reader should also be able to react quickly to see if it matches the proof. If the reader can use standard Mandarin and pronounce four tones accurately, and the proofreader is someone with high ability to distinguish words, the efficiency will be higher and the quality will be more guaranteed. Due to the limitations of the proofreading method (such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, ancient books, etc.) and its interference with the surrounding environment, it is not universally applicable.
These three proofreading methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and their performance in work efficiency also varies from person to person, with the key being how each person masters it. For comrades in elementary school, it is best to learn from them all, and to promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses in practice, constantly summarizing and improving.
