今天的這段對話,在討論學英語,
很多挪威人的英語都很棒,他們學英語到底是有什么秘訣
來聽今天的講解:
A: Now, Christian, you're English is amazing. Perfect actually.
Christian,你英語說的真好,簡直太棒了。
B: Thank you.
謝謝。
A: And many people from Norway have excellent English. What is the secret about Norway?
很多來自挪威的人英語都很棒。到底是有什么秘訣呢?
B: I don't know. I actually heard that before that I meet a lot of people and they say,"Oh, you're from Norway.
我不知道。只是之前,我碰到很多人的時候他們都會說,“哦,你來自挪威。”
Norwegian people speak such good English. Why is that?"
挪威人能說得一口流利的英文。這是為什么呢?
Personally I think it's because we get a lot of exposure to English, through TV, music, media, everything, and we don't dub movies and TV programs like they do in many other countries.
我個人覺得是因為我們生長在英語的大環(huán)境下,電視,音樂,媒體,一切的一切都是英文的,而且不同于其他國家,電影以及電視節(jié)目都是沒有配音的。
We get subtitles. And the same with music. English music is very, very popular.
我們有字幕。音樂也是一樣的。英文歌也是非常流行的。
Probably more popular that Norwegian music, and I guess as well the education system provides us with really good, you know, teaching so, I mean all those combined together, you know, creates, how to say.
也許更出名的是挪威樂曲,而且我想校方也提供了相當棒的音樂課,所以我的意思是,所有的這些加起來就造就了我們。恩怎么說呢,你知道的。
A: Super speakers!
一流的演說家!
B: I don't know super speakers. It's a good combination, I guess in term of learning the language, so, you know, and a lot of Norwegians travel as well and they have time to practice as well, which is important if you want to speak English well.
我不知道什么一流演說家。但這是個很好的融合,我想,單是從學語言方面考慮,很多挪威人出去旅游,同時會有更多的時間說英語,練習英語。如果你想學好英語這一點是很重要的。
A: Sure, well, how difficult is it to learn Norwegian?
當然,那學習挪威語會有多難呢?
B: That is probably more difficult that English, I'd say, but it's interesting I have a private Japanese student at the moment and he went to Norway on exchange from his university here in Japan
我不得不說那可能會比英語更難,但有趣的是我現(xiàn)在有個日本學生,他從他學校來挪威做交換生。
and he didn't speak a word of Norwegian before he went but he spent the year there, and he now can have a decent conversation with me in Norwegian.
而且他來之前不會說一句挪威語但他在這兒呆了幾年,現(xiàn)在跟很熟練地跟我用挪威語對話了。
That's three years ago since he went there, but still he speaks pretty well.
他來這兒才三年,但挪威語仍然講得很好。
