标题: 国外网站发表的英语学习窍门
在一家国外网站上看到一篇很好文章,现译成汉语并推荐给大家。该文章就“利用业余时间学习英语”以及“英语学习的初学者”遇到的问题,提出了切实可行的解决方案,可谓妙语连珠。
   --- 新月空中英语
Learning is a skill and it can be improved.
英语学习是一项技巧并可以不断改进。
一、Your path to learning effectively is through knowing: 要找到有效的学习途径,你首先要了解:
    1. yourself 了解你自己
    2. your capacity to learn 了解你学习的潜力
    3. processes you have successfully used in the past 了解你曾有过的、成功的学习经历
    4. your interest, and knowledge of what you wish to learn 了解你的兴趣以及想要学习的知识
二、Motivate yourself 自我激励
If you are not motivated to learn English you will become frustrated and give up. Ask yourself the following questions, and be honest:-
    如果缺少激励,在学习中容易变得茫然以至于放弃。请就下列问题问问自己并诚实地回答:
    1. Why do you need to learn/improve English? 你有必要学习或提高你的英语水平吗?
    2. Where will you need to use English? 日常生活中你会用到英语吗?
    3. What skills do you need to learn/improve? (Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking) 你想学习或提高哪一部分技能哪?(比如:读、说、听、写)
    4. How soon do you need to see results? 你想在多长时间内达到预期效果哪?
    5. How much time can you afford to devote to learning English. 在英语学习上你会花费多长时间哪?
    6. How much money can you afford to devote to learning English. 在学习英语上你打算花多少钱哪?
    7. Do you have a plan or learning strategy? 你有制定学习计划或策略吗?
三、Set yourself achievable goals. 给自己定立一个切实可行的学习目标。
You know how much time you can dedicate to learning English, but a short time each day will produce better, longer-term results than a full day on the weekend and then nothing for two weeks.
    应当清楚你会在英语上花费多少时间,每天短时间的学习会达到相对比较好的效果,长期的、有计划地学习会比用整整一个周末来学习而后两周都不碰书本要好的多。
Joining a short intensive course could produce better results than joining a course that takes place once a week for six months.
    短期的集训课程会比每周一次为期六个月的课程的效果好得多。
四、Here are some goals you could set yourself:-下面是一些可以为自己制定的学习目标:
    1. Join an English course (and attend regularly). 参加一个英语培训班(并坚持下来)。
    2. Do your homework. 按时做家庭作业。
    3. Read a book a month. 每月读一本书。
    4. Learn a new word every day. 每天学一个新词。
    5. Visit an English speaking forum every day. 每天访问口语论坛。
    6. Read a news article on the net every day. 每天在网上阅读新闻。
    7. Do 10 minutes listening practice every day. 每天做10分钟听力练习。
    8. Watch an English film at least once a month. 最少每月看一部英文电影。
    9. Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama. 坚持听广播或电视上的肥皂剧、喜剧戏剧等。
A good way to meet your goals is to establish a system of rewards and punishments.
    达成既定目标的一个好方法就是给自己制定出奖惩制度。
Decide on a reward you will give yourself for fulfilling your goals for a month.
    如果你一个月中很好地履行了预定目标将给予奖励。比如:
    1. A bottle of your favourite drink 一瓶喜欢的饮料
    2. A meal out / or a nice meal at home 到外面或在家里大吃一顿
    3. A new outfit 给自己添加一个新玩意
    4. A manicure or massage 去外面修修指甲或按按摩
五、Understanding how you learn best may also help you. 了解使用什么样的方法会使自己学习的更有效。
There are different ways to learn. Find out what kind of learner you are in order to better understand how to learn more effectively...
    学习方法各有不同,确定自己属于哪一类型,以便使理解和学习更有效...
1.The visual learner 视觉型(的判断方法)
    Do you need to see your teacher during lessons in order to fully understand the content of a lesson?
    你是否需要老师站在讲坛上,这样才能完全理解所学的内容?
    Do you prefer to sit at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads)?
    你是否偏重于坐在前排听讲以排除视觉干扰(如晃来晃去的人头等)?
    Do you think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs?  
    你是否认为图片形式的视觉展示会有利于学习,包括流程展示、图表展示、教学投影展示、视频演示、挂图以及肢体语言等?
    During a lecture or classroom discussion, do you prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information?
    上课或课堂讨论你是否喜欢记录详细的笔记以便汲取更多的信息?
【学习提示】 !Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking part in traditional English lessons, but maybe private lessons would be better.
    --上传统的大课会有所收获,但请私人老师效果会更好。
2.The auditory learner 听觉型(判断方法)
    Do you learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say?
    以下几种方法是否会只学习更有效:口授课程、讨论、谈论或倾听别人讲述?
    Do you interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances?
    你是否通过下列方式理解别人表述的意思,如,语调、音调及语速等?
    Does written information have little meaning until you hear it?
    你是通过听才会更清晰地理解书面的信息吗?
【学习提示】 !Learning Tip - you may benefit from listening to the radio or listening to text as you read it. You could try reading text aloud and using a tape recorder to play it back to yourself.
    --听广播或者看书的同时听这些文本的录音会使你有所收益。你可以尝试朗读文章然后用录音机回放所读的内容。
3.The Tactile/Kinesthetic learner 触觉/动觉型(判断方法)
    Do you learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around you?
    你是否认为实地接触互动的方式来了解周围的事物会对学习更有好处?
    Do you find it hard to sit still for long periods?
    你是否觉得长时间坐在那里很枯燥乏味?
    Do you become distracted easily?
   (上课或学习时)你是否容易走神?
【学习提示】 !Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking an active part in role plays or drama activities.
    --你更适合于角色扮演或情景式的表演活动。
六、Here's How: 13条英语学习的座右铭:
1.Remember that learning a language is a gradual process - it does not happen overnight.
    学习一种语言是个循序渐进的过程,不可能一蹴而就。
2.Define your learning objectives early: What do you want to learn and why?
    尽早定立你的学习目标,即“你要学到些什么?为什么要学”?
3.Make learning a habit. Try to learn something every day. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, etc.) 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week.
    使学习成为一种习惯。尝试每天都要学些东西,每天学习10分钟要比每周一次学习两小时效果好的多。
4.Remember to make learning a habit! If you study each day for 10 minutes English will be constantly in your head. If you study once a week, English will not be as present in your mind.
    千万记住,学习要成为一种习惯!每天学10分钟,英语会持续停留在头脑中。如果每周只学一次,头脑中的英语已经不复存在了。
5.Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materials.
    选择适合你的资料,包括读、说、听、写和语法资料。
6.Vary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. In other words, don't just study grammar.
    使你的学习多样化。最好每天做不同的操练,以保持信息的多样性。换句话说就是,不要只学习语法等等。
7.Find friends to study and speak with. Learning English together can be very encouraging.
    寻找学习和对话的伙伴。一起学习会起到相互鼓励的作用。
8.Choose listening and reading materials that relate to what you are interested in. Being interested in the subject will make learning more enjoyable - thus more effective.
    选择与你的兴趣相关的听力和阅读材料。专注于感兴趣的领域会使学习更有趣,也更有效。
9.Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you USE the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively.
    将语法与实践相联系。语法本身不会有助于语言运用,要吧它运用于你所学的内容当中,使它变成活的东西。
10.Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn't mean the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud. It may seem strange, but it is very effective.
    张开你的尊口!理解了某些东西并不意味着你的口(部肌肉)就会准确地表达来。把你的所学出声地说出来。这听起来有些怪,但很有效。
11.Be patient with yourself. Remember learning is a process - speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!
    对待自己要有耐心。请记住学习是个过程,学习语言是很费时的事情。这并不像开关计算机那样简单。
12.Communicate! There is nothing like communicating in English and being successful. Grammar exercises are good - having your friend on the other side of the world understand your email is fantastic!
    交流!没有什么比用英语交流更容易获得成功的了。一种语法练习的好方法--你的朋友在世界的另一头读懂了你的电子邮件就是件很神奇的事情。
13.Use the Internet. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource that anyone could imagine and it is right at your finger tips.
    运用网络。互联网真是令人兴奋,任何人都可以利用的无尽的英语资源,只需你手指轻轻一点。
【学习提示】 Tips: Remember that English learning is a Process. Be patient with yourself. Practice, practice, practice。
    --记住学习英语是一个过程,要对自己有耐心。练习,练习,再练习。

【学好美语必须掌握的地道习语】



flirt
范例:
She's the biggist flirt in school.
她是全校最喜欢招摇的女孩。
She keeps flirting with boys.
她总是爱跟男孩子抛媚眼。
句型解说:
flirt这个词当动词用时,指抛媚眼、送秋波、眉来眼去;当名词用时,指喜欢到处勾搭的人。另外有两个词也常用来形容爱招摇、爱出风头的女孩子,但却表达了不同的意思。snob指喜欢穿戴得很漂亮、到处招摇的女孩子。airhead则是指只是漂亮却没有脑筋的“花瓶”。
灵活运用:
1.The new girl is such a flirt.
新来的女孩子很爱出风头。
2.She is too much of an airhead to be school president.
她呀,“花瓶”一个,不能做学生会会长。
3.She's such a snob. I don't like her.
她太爱招摇了。我不喜欢她。

【分享】中国成语典故:怒发冲冠(中英对照)

战国时代,赵国的大臣蔺相如出使到秦国。在他向秦王索回玉璧的时候,秦王蛮不讲理,蔺相如气愤得连头

发都竖了起来,向上冲着帽子。

In the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, chief min-ister of the State of Zhao, was sent as an envoy to the State of Qin to ask the ruler of Qin to return a fine piece of jade to Zhao.

But the ruler of Qin was rude and unreasonable. Lin was angry, and his hair stood up so stiffly

on his head that it lifted up his hat.

后来人们用“怒发冲冠”这个成语形容人愤怒到了极点。

This idiom came to be used to mean being extremely angry.

【分享】如何为孩子选择英语兴趣班



在选择英语培训机构时主要要考虑以下几点:第一,在孩子年龄比较小的阶段,特别需要享受学习的过程,培养健康的学习态度,并且把这种好态度延续下去,陪伴今后的人生。不管孩子是在学校、在家里,或者是参加课外的培训班,首要的是建立孩子的自信心和学习动力,而不是仅仅取得高分。



 第二,考虑一下你在家里创造的学习环境,英语是如何融入到环境中去的?有没有可能把英语学习融入到孩子的兴趣爱好中去?比如通过书籍、电影、歌曲、活动甚至旅行。你自己说英语吗?你是否能花点时间,比如抽出15分钟来和孩子一起阅读英语故事?邻居中,有没有孩子或者父母可以一起加入?


  第三,看一下有没有课外的培训课程是非常适合孩子的。学校能不能提供一个色彩绚丽的、鼓励和包容式的学习环境?老师的教学能力如何,他们是不是使用高品质的教材?那里的孩子们是不是很快乐?他们沉浸在英语环境中么?在这些考虑中,最重要的是能够提供一种包容性的、激励性的学习氛围,使你的孩子能较快地熟悉一种新的语言,获得成长、学习和交流的机会。

中国成语典故中英对照:南辕北辙


从前有个人要到南方去,他坐的车子却向北方行驶。过路人说:“你去南方,车子怎么向北行驶呢?”他回答说:“我的马很能跑路,我的车夫驾车的技术也很高明,加上我又带了充足的路费。”这个人没有考虑到,方向弄反了,他的条件越好,离他要去的地方就越远。


Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him: 'If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north? ' The man answered, 'My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage, and I have enough money. ' The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.


后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”,比喻一个人的行为和他的目的正好相反。

The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.

如何利用中文谐音巧背英语单词


爆笑:饱死老板,饿死员工

boss,n,老板,音“饱死”。 worker,n,工人,音“饿客”。工人们不要不平衡,老板会撑而“饱死”,工人是“饿客”,饿,不一定死。或者说,饱死老板,饿死员工,与老板殊途同归。


爆笑:法官会“榨汁”

judge,n,法官,音“榨汁”,又音“喳吱”。社会上有种说法“吃了原告,吃被告。”有些法官会“榨汗”,榨原告被告的油汁。法官喳喳吱吱时候,是在纠问式审判,现在是听判式,法官很少“喳吱”了。

外企白领最IN的工作英语说法

Follow up

意思是:跟办。外企老板,尤其是老外,很重视项目或工作的进度,而且要心里清楚是谁在负责,所以总喜欢问“这个case有没有人follow up?”,如果一个工作还没有结果,却没有人follow up,那部门主管可就会成为直接负责人了。所以,每个主管也都很聪明,把自己手里面的所有case都分派给手下的员工,然后就由他们自己去follow up。老板问起来,只要把员工名字告诉老板,然后说说简单情况就可以了。这也就是为什么外企员工的独立性都很强、效率很高的原因了。

潜台词:做事情得有始有终,不能没有人跟办执行。

To Do List

进入外企,如果你想有条不紊的完成手里面堆成小山的工作,而且不会误了deadline的话,那你的法宝就是To Do List。一定要做一个很有条理的Excel表格,把项目的名称、期限、具体内容、特别注意、进展情况等都列成一个表,随时follow up自己的进度。这样,不仅能让自己变得有条理,而且在老板问起来的时候也好有个实实在在的东西给她/他看。同时,这也是日后写绩效评估的一个文字依据啊,何乐而不为呢?

潜台词:在外企可不能“光说不练”,只有把该做的执行工作都写在清单里才能保质保量地完成工作。

影响英语单词拼写的几大因素

外来语的影响

对英语拼写影响较大的三种语言是希腊语(多数词汇通过拉丁语间接进入英语)、拉丁语(英语80%的词汇直接或间接来源于拉丁语)和法语。

4)美国英语对古典语言拼写的处理:美国英语与英国英语在拼写方面的很多不同都是因为两者对古典语言拼写的处理不同。-our和-or的区别是一例,color、dolor、favor等美式拼法都是拉丁原文的拼法,对应的英式英语却不是。defense、license比起defence、licence来也更近于拉丁原文。反过来,在处理ae、oe等古典语言中的双元音时,美国英语往往采取简化的态度,变为单元音e,对比美式英语和英式英语:esthetic / aesthetic、maneuver / manoeuvre,等等。-ter和-tre的区别也是对古典语言中-trum词尾处理不同造成的,如center / center(拉丁文为centrum)、theater / theatre(拉丁文为theatrum)。

名师支招:如何掌握英文语法


对句型的运用,要达到脱口而出。背诵新概念英语不失为一个好方法,纯熟地道的句子,在书中比比皆是。不仅学习了语法,更学会了融会贯通。总之,一个人无论自认为语法学得多么好,那么最终要落实到语言的听说读写上。


Grammar is useful, but it is wrong to imagine that one can learn to speak a foreign language by rules of grammar. Grammar is of help, but it is not everything. You have got to bear in mind that learning to speak a language is a matter of habit of forming. Therefore, constant practice is essential. Practice makes perfect!

名师支招:教你用英语给别人提意见的方法


你的老板对你说你工作表现很差。你的同事在整个团队面前批评你。要接受批评意见可不容易,无论是从哪方面来的。但是,对你来说用英语给别人提意见的时候你却可以将语气柔和下来。只要小心选择你的用词和语气,你就能帮助别人提升自己而不让他们完全被挫败。


避免直接的指责

象"You're wrong!"和"Your presentation was terrible!" 这样的品评一点也不会起作用。事实上,如果可能,最好是将句中的"you" 去掉。针对个人攻击性的语言会让他们起戒备心,并且他们也不会认真听你说的什么。
