[00:00:00]hi there students to read into to read something into something okay this is where you read something and you give new or extra meaning you presume you make inferences um about what you're reading so you're adding to the text you're um attributing additional meaning it might be right it might be wrong but normally if we're reading something into something where um believing that something has a particular importance or a particular meaning when it doesn't say that and it's not necessarily true so for example don't read too much into what he says don't add too many ideas um people when they're a bit paranoid they always tend to read criticism into what everybody says about them so they believe what people are saying is critical even if it's not don't read too much into him uh leaving after 10 minutes he's a really busy guy so to attach extra meaning or extra importance that may or may not be there you're reading too much into what he has said um okay so to believe that an action or a remark or something has a particular importance a particular meaning but often when that's not necessarily true so if you read a meaning into something you think that that meaning is there that meaning may or may not be there um and it's easy to read too much into uh a gesture so body language yeah when somebody's like this well the obvious thing is to read in what do you read into my body language that I'm feeling aggressive that I don't like you I've got my arms crossed protecting myself from you maybe I'm just cold so um you're reading significance into something um but analyzing people's body language is reading a meaning into the the uh movements of the body um so when he says no don't read too much into that maybe he's just busy or maybe he's um got other problems so yes the boss is in a really bad mood today but don't read too much into that probably his wi spin been shouting at him because he's been having a an affair with his girlfriend look this was just a passing remark reading too much into it so it's to try and discover or try or believe a hidden aspect of a situation or of what something somebody says um and this is the idea of read reading into you can you can take a simple situation and you can read all sorts of things into it so that you are inferring um additional meaning based on what what you you see so um the government made an announcement but a lot of people have been reading all sorts of extra things into this um the Prime Minister called an early election and everybody's uh reading all sorts of strange things into this okay so to read into you're providing information you think that what somebody says or a situation or an action has other meanings it has other importance and it may or may not be true um but don't read too much into it it was just a casual remark it was was it was not something that uh was meant to be full of other ideas so poetry um very often poetry is very deep and impenetrable and impossible to understand and therefore with poetry it's perfectly okay to read into the Poetry your own meanings what your interpretation how you feel about it because you will probably never know the real truth or you're analyzing an abstract picture you could read into it all sorts of things but this is only valid for you okay so you're um implying inferring from what you see um you're giving it more more extra meaning or extra importance that it may or may not have you're reading too much into her her remarks um okay so you're adding things uh things to it which um may or may not be meant but usually they're not meant so um you're reading too much into this okay um he read a new meaning into the um into the speech um to read into formality I think I'm going to give it a 4.5 informality use informally use in a semiformal conversation a semiformal writing uh maybe not something very formal don't read too much into it um I think normally Inseparable don't read so many things into it so Inseparable so to read into
