李陽瘋狂英語突破口語之突破對(duì)話第14課
4．Don’t Worry about Making Mistakes
不要擔(dān)心犯錯(cuò)誤
A: I’ve always wondered, what’s the difference between English for Chinese students and English for native students?
我一直弄不明白，中國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)英語和美國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)英語有什么不同?
B: I don’t know. What do you think?
不知道，你覺得呢?
A: I think a Chinese student concentrates on written English, and uses it as a basis for communicating. From start to finish he’s learning vocabulary and fundamentals of grammar. This is a very difficult way to learn.
我認(rèn)為中國(guó)學(xué)生注重書面語言，而且以此來交流。他們從始至終都在背單詞和學(xué)語法基礎(chǔ)。這是一種很困難的學(xué)習(xí)方法。
B: What do natives get?
那美國(guó)人呢?
A: They get higher level English, which is more formal than everyday spoken English. They also deal with matters of style and creativity.
他們注重比口語更為正規(guī)和高級(jí)的成文英語。他們也學(xué)習(xí)文體和創(chuàng)作。
B: Do you mean that a native doesn’t make any mistakes in grammar?
你說美國(guó)本土人都不會(huì)犯語法錯(cuò)誤嗎?
A: Absolutely not! Native speakers make a lot of grammar mistakes, especially if they come from a home where nonstandard English is spoken.
當(dāng)然不是！他們同樣犯很多錯(cuò)誤，尤其是來自一個(gè)說不標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語的家庭的人。
B: I suppose that only a small percentage of college students don’t know standard English in American universities.
我想在美國(guó)大學(xué)里只有極少數(shù)的大專學(xué)生不懂得標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語。
A: Actually there are more non-native speakers than you think. That’s why it’s so important to quit worrying about making mistakes. Just talk to everyone every chance you get.
實(shí)際上在美國(guó)的非英語母語者要比你想象的多。這就是為什么你不必?fù)?dān)心犯錯(cuò)誤。見到人就說，不放過每一個(gè)練英語的機(jī)會(huì)。
