第一部分:阅读反思 (Reflection on Reading)
【中英对照】

- 英文翻译: The preface is generally used to market the book itself, as a book is also a commodity. If it were you, how would you promote this product? There are two tracks for marketing a product: 1. Focus closely on the product itself (three years of meticulous polishing; three key differences: techniques vs. mindset, fragmented tips vs. a systematic methodology, skills vs. reshaping one’s thinking; listing pain points and target audiences). 2. Build a solid foundation of credibility around the author’s background, “halo”, and experiences, so as to lay the groundwork for repeat purchases. These two tracks are intertwined and indispensable.

第四部分:总结与感悟 (Conclusion and Insight)
【中英对照】
- 中文原文: 如果你只说商品,不谈自己,那就失去了和受众人群建立信任的基础。你要卖产品,自然不能只谈自己不谈产品,这样人家会以为你是传销组织。就说到这吧,这是我第1次这么认真的把序言输出来,感觉脑海中确实不像以前那样读过之后没有任何痕迹,顶多是记得一两句可以用作谈资的”金句”。希望我能坚持下来!
