在學(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中你總結(jié)了哪些好方法

今天的這段對話，在討論英語，
 
對于英語不是母語的國家來說學(xué)習(xí)英語很難，在學(xué)習(xí)過程中有什么好方法呢
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So Peter, you also learned English as a foreign language, right?
 
彼得，你也是把英語作為一門外語來學(xué)習(xí)，對吧？
 
B: That's right, yes.
 
沒錯(cuò)。
 
A: It's not your first language? So how did you do it?
 
英語不是你的母語？你是怎么學(xué)習(xí)的？
 
B: That's a good question. When I think back, I think, I try to think about the things that helped me most and I think it was a funny combination of things. I had one really interesting English teacher, she was really strict, but she was really interesting and I think she inspired me in some ways because her English was so good and I thought 'wow' that's really great. I wouldn't mind being able to be as good as her. The other thing that really helped me was reading like I really read so much in English. I think you mentioned, I remember you saying that too at some other point.
 
這是個(gè)很好的問題?；叵胍幌?，我想對我?guī)椭畲蟮膽?yīng)該是各種事情有趣的事情。我的英語老師非常風(fēng)趣，她很嚴(yán)格，不過她真的很風(fēng)趣，我想從某些方面來說，是她激勵(lì)了我，因?yàn)樗挠⒄Z非常棒，我當(dāng)時(shí)想“哇，真是太好了”。我希望我的英語能和她的一樣棒。另外閱讀對我?guī)椭埠艽?，我讀了很多英語作品。我想你之前提到過，我記得你也說過這點(diǎn)。
 
A: Yeah, I think so too. I read a lot, not because I wanted to learn but because I like reading and so I read in English and later on I realized I must have learned a lot of vocabulary and things that I didn't even realize I learned.
 
對，我也記得。我讀了很多書，不是因?yàn)槲蚁雽W(xué)習(xí)，而是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g閱讀，所以我看了很多英語書籍，后來我發(fā)現(xiàn)這讓我學(xué)會(huì)了很多詞匯和其他知識(shí)，我都沒有意識(shí)到我其實(shí)是在學(xué)習(xí)。
 
B: I think yes.
 
對。
 
A: Just through reading.
 
通過閱讀學(xué)習(xí)。
 
B: Yeah, the same thing happened to me. My home had so many books in it, I was lucky I guess in that way and at least half of them were in English and when I discovered that there were books in the house that I couldn't get into and I was really into stories and reading, I felt so angry that I couldn't get into them so I said OK I'll start try and read them and I guess it started off there because then I started reading so much and it was really good for me in the end, I think.
 
對，我和你情況一樣。我媽媽有很多書，我想我非常幸運(yùn)，其中至少有一半的書是英語書籍，我家里有那些書，可是我發(fā)現(xiàn)我竟然看不進(jìn)去，可是我非常喜歡看故事，也喜歡閱讀。所以我因?yàn)樽约嚎床贿M(jìn)去這些書而感到非常生氣，我想“好，我要試著讀這些書”，我想就是從那時(shí)開始，我閱讀了大量的英語書籍，這對我非常有幫助。
 
A: So that was your motivation, you wanted to read those mysterious books?
 
閱讀那些神秘的書籍是你的動(dòng)力嗎？
 
B: Yes and it was really good for me that way I guess.
 
對，我想這對我?guī)椭艽蟆?br />  
A: That's interesting. You see people ask me how did I learn English. I didn't really have a plan, I just enjoyed English that's why I studied in my free time but I didn't think of it as something I have to do, I just did it for fun.
 
真有意思。有人問我怎么學(xué)習(xí)英語。我其實(shí)并沒有計(jì)劃，我只是喜歡英語，所以我在空閑時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)，但是我不認(rèn)為這是我必須要做的事情，我只是為了興趣而學(xué)習(xí)。
 
B: I think so too for me. Also in high school I remember my classmates complaining about all the homework in English and they couldn't do it and they used to come to me for help and then I thought but hang on it's not, it doesn't feel like work to me, it just feels like something kind of fun.
 
我想我也是這樣。我記得上高中時(shí)，同學(xué)們都抱怨英語作業(yè)，他們都做不了作業(yè)，然后他們就會(huì)來尋求我的幫助，當(dāng)時(shí)我并不認(rèn)為這是工作，我認(rèn)為這是很有意思的事。
 
A: That's right.
 
沒錯(cuò)。
 
B: But I can't tell you where that fun started. I guess it has something to do with being curious about things that are written or said. Do you think so?
 
不過我也說不清是從何時(shí)開始產(chǎn)生興趣的。我想可能是因?yàn)槲液芎闷婺切飳懥耸裁窗?。你也這樣想嗎？
 
A: Yeah, I also sort of remember when I first became interested in English but later on when I met some people from different countries, I became more interested in communicating with them and, like you said, my teacher also inspired me. I enjoyed just chatting to her in English.
 
對，我記得我第一次對英語產(chǎn)生興趣也是因?yàn)檫@樣，后來我遇到了很多來自不同國家的人，我想和他們進(jìn)行交流，如你所說，我的老師也激勵(lì)了我。我非常喜歡和她用英語聊天。
 
B: Really?
 
真的嗎？
 
A: Yeah, it was basically fun. It was not studying hard for me.
 
對，很有意思。對我來說，這并不是努力學(xué)習(xí)。
 
B: Yeah, I suppose it's the same for me I think. I think when I got to university and I could read and write and my listening was really good in English but I couldn't speak so well at all and then I happened to make some English friends and they couldn't speak a word of Afrikaans or any other language so I was kind of forced to communicate with them in English and that, I think that really helped me too because I was forced in a way to be able to speak my mind and in the way that they could only understand so you know.
 
對，我也是這樣認(rèn)為的。我上大學(xué)時(shí)，我可以看英語書籍，而且我的英語聽力很好，可是我的口語不好，然后我剛巧交了一些英國朋友，他們完全不會(huì)南非語或其他語言，所以我只能用英語和他們交流，我認(rèn)為這也對我?guī)椭艽?，我不得不讓自己用英語表達(dá)出我的想法，讓他們明白我的意思。
 
A: Right, that really makes it meaningful doesn't it? You really need to, you want to express yourself so you have to try hard.
 
對，這真的很有意義，不是嗎？你要表達(dá)自己的想法，所以你要努力嘗試。
 
B: Yeah, and I remember this frustration. They would have these arguments about things that I was interested in and I wanted to join but I couldn't and so I just decided well I have to just do this. I want to talk so I'd better do it in English.
 
對，我還記得當(dāng)時(shí)的挫敗感。他們會(huì)討論一些我感興趣的事情，我也想加入他們的討論，可是我做不到，所以我決定一定要做到這件事。我也想用英語說出我的看法。
 
A: That's right. Yeah, I think I improved a lot by talking to people from different countries, not necessarily native speakers but having friends from different countries and I wanted to communicate with them so, yeah, you just do it and you learn as you go.
 
沒錯(cuò)。我認(rèn)為和不同國家的人交流可以提高英語水平，不一定和那些母語是英語的人交流，我也想和來自其他國家的朋友交流，所以要學(xué)習(xí)，去開口說話。
 
B: Yeah, I think so too.
 
對，我也是這么想的。
