0这期来自我的第一支关于英语学习的视频
记得当时大家都在催更学英语的技巧
但是我第一个想说的却是学英语的心态
语言是工具 是钥匙 是梯子
总之在我看来
对于大多数人来说
语言都不是目的
而是达成目的的途径
所以比起学到最“完美”的口音
最“标准”的表达
我觉得更重要的是看到
自己通过语言
想体验的文化 表达的观点 看到的世界

大家好呀
Hi guys
我终于带着我的第一期英语学习视频来了
I’m finally back with my first English learning video
如果你觉得学习英语很痛苦
So if you are suffering from learning English
或者对自己的口语很不自信
Or you are not confident speaking English
我相信今天的视频可以帮到你
This video may be very helpful for you
今天呢我想谈两个东西
So today I want to talk about two essential things for English learning
一个是兴趣
First, is interest
一个是态度
And second is attitude
第一点呢就是兴趣
So first for interest
大家可以仔细回想一下
I would like you to take a moment and reflect on yourself
你学习英语真的是因为对英语感兴趣吗
Do you really learn English out of interest
还是说你学英语只是因为考试要考
Or are you just learning it because it required by exams
我猜测大多数人还是第二类人吧
I assume most of you are in the second category
所以大家大概率还是不会“享受”学习英语的过程
So it won’t be surprising that most of you don’t really enjoy the process of learning English
我今天呢就想给大家一个理由
Today I want to give you a reason
让大家真的能够产生对英语学习的兴趣
So that you can truly develop an interest in learning English
这个理由就是
And this reason is
语言可以让你看见你曾经看不见的东西
Learning a new language helps you to see things you weren’t able to see before
我用一个发生在我自己身上的故事来说明一下
I’m going to illustrate it by one of my personal stories
我在几年前学习了法语
So several years ago I started to learn French
记得当时上完了一节课之后
And I remember after one course
我去超市买了一瓶怡宝
I went to bought a bottle of water
看到瓶子的那一刻
And the moment I saw this bottle
我发现怡宝的标是法语
I recogonized that the logo is in French
写的是c’est bon
It says “C’set bon”
就是好的意思
Which basically means “it’s good”
是一句再简单不过的法语
And it’s a very very simple French sentence
但是当时我非常震惊
But at that moment I was shocked
震惊于这么长时间
I kept asking myself how come for all this time
我怎么会从来没有理解怡宝的标志
I have never understand what this logo means
事实上我也从来没有试图理解过这个标志是什么意思
In fact I never tried to understand this logo
因为我从来没有注意到它
Because I never notice it
这就是那种顿悟瞬间
It is one of those “aha moment”
我突然理解了
That I suddenly understand why people say
什么叫做认知决定视野
What you know limits what you see
从那次经历以后
So after this experience
我开始把新的一门语言当成
I start to view language as a door
连接新世界的大门
that opens me to a new world
虽然大门可能会有些“重”
The door might be a little bit heavy
推开大门的过程有点辛苦
So I have to put in much effort to push it open
但是随着门慢慢打开
But as the door gradually opens
我也会收获更加丰富的视界
I see more and more things that I wasn’t able to see before
这就是一直驱动我
So this is basically the deep motivation
学习一门新的语言的深层动力
For me to learn a new language
我希望这个想法
And I hope it can also help you
可以在你今后觉得
If you feel like
缺乏学习英语的兴趣的时候帮助到你
lack of incentives to learn English in the future
第二点要说的就是态度
And the second thing I want to talk about is attitude
我注意到很多人都在讨论我的口音
I noticed that many of you have been disccussing on what is my accent
有人说我是英音
Some says I have British accent
有人说我是美音
Some says I have American accent
甚至有人说我是澳大利亚口音哈哈
Some even says I have Australian accent
其实吧
Well
我自己也不知道我到底是什么口音
I don’t really know what is my accent
并且我的口音受环境影响非常大
And in fact my accent is heavily influenced by the government
大家觉得
So the reason why I am now
我英美音混杂
Kind of mixing the British accent with American accent
很可能是因为我现在生活在剑桥
Is that I stay in Cambridge
同时有一位美国室友
But I also have a flatmate who is from the US
我当时在意呆利交换的时候
And I remember when I was in exchange in Italy
甚至有很浓重的意大利口音
I had a very strong Italian accent in my English
所以我想说的是
So what I want to say is that
我觉得口音什么的都不重要
I don’t think accent is very important
因为我觉得对语言的态度应该是
Because I think the right attitude towards a language
把它看成一个工具
Is to view it as a tool
而不是向别人炫耀的技巧
Instead of a technique to show off to other people
因为如果你不是从事口译
So as long as you are not workingas an interpretor
翻译或者其他英语专业度要求很高的行业
Or translator or in a field that requires very high standard English
那么你学习英语最主要的目的还是交流
The main purpose of you learning English should be to communicate with others
所以只要能准确地表达出自己的想法
So as long as you can express yourself correctly
流利的组织语句
And you can speak a sentence fluently
你就已经做的非常好了
I think you are already doing a very good job
所以当你调整了对待英语的态度之后
So once you get the attitude right
你就能够避免
You can avoid a lot of unneccessary worries over
对”标准”的口音、华丽的用词之类不必要的烦恼
How to choose the fancy word or how to get the standard accent
以上就是我今天想讲的内容啦
So that’s basically what I want to talk about today
今天感觉更像是一个准备课程
I feel like it’s more like a pre-course
让每个人都能在学习具体的发音技巧之前
To set everyone on the right track
调整到最佳状态
Before we dig in to the detail technique of English learning
希望这个视频对大家有所帮助
So hope you find this video helpful
咱们下次见啦
And I guess I will see you in the next video
Bye
拜拜ヾ(?ω?`)o
