『re』【干货】TED英文演讲:如何在六个月内学会任何一门外语( 五 )


And when you're just beginning with a new language start with the tool box. Week number one in your new language you say things like: ‘how do you say that?' ‘I don't understand,'
‘repeat that please,' ‘what does that mean,' all in your target language.
当你开始学习一门外语 , 从工具箱开始 。 第一周 , 你会用新语言说一些像这样的话“那个你怎么说?”“我不明白 , ”“请重复 , ”“那是什么意思”全都用你的目标语言 。
You're using it as a tool, making it useful to you, it's relevant to learn other things about the language. It's by week two that you should be saying things like:
你把它当做工具来用 , 并且利用好它 , 这对学习该门语言的其他东西是有重大关系的 。 第二周 , 你应该会说一些像:
‘me,' ‘this,' ‘you,' ‘that,' ‘give,' you know, ‘hot,' simple pronouns, simple nouns, simple verbs, simple adjectives, communicating like a baby.
“我”、“这个”、“你”、“那个”、“给”、“热” , 像个孩子一样用这些简单的代词、名词、动词、形容词来沟通 。
And by the third or fourth week, you're getting into what I call glue words. ‘Although,' ‘but,' ‘therefore,' these are logical transformers that tie bits of a language together, allowing you to make more complex meaning 。 At that point you're talking 。
然后第三或第四周 , 你会进入我称为“胶水词”的这部分 。 “虽然”、“但是”、“因此” , 这些逻辑工具帮助你把语言的小块紧密地结合在一起 , 让你制造更多复杂的意思 。 在那个阶段 , 你已经进入说话的阶段了!
The sixth thing you have to do, is copy the face. You've got to get the muscles working right, so you can sound in a way that people will understand you. There's a couple of things you do.
第六件事你需要做的就是 , 模仿面部表情 。你需要把肌肉部位用得准确 , 别人才可以听明白你发出的声音 。 达到此目的 , 你需要做几件事情 。
One is that you hear how it feels, and feel how it sounds which means you have a feedback loop operating in your face, but ideally if you can look at a native speaker and just observe how they use their face,
第一 , 听它是什么感觉的并感觉它是怎样发出声音的 , 从你的脸上获得反馈 。 如果条件理想的话 , 你可以看着母语者并观察他们的面部 ,
let your unconscious mind absorb the rules, then you're going to be able to pick it up. And if you can't get a native speaker to look at, you can use stuff like this: [slides].
让你下意识地吸收这些规则 , 然后你将能够获取到它 。 如果你没有母语者可以看着学习的话 , 你可以用像这样的东西 。
And the final idea here, the final action you need to take is something that I call “direct connect.” What does this mean? Well most people learning a second language sort of take the mother tongue words
最后一个行动是, 你需要“直接联系” 。 什么意思呢?大多数人学习外语几乎都是用母语的单词对照目标语言 ,
and take the target words and go over them again and again in their mind to try and remember them. Really inefficient.
反复地在心中念并尝试记住它们 。 这样做效率真的很低 。 你需要做的是意识到你所知道的事情在你的脑海里都有一个画面和感觉 。
So, there are five principles that you need to work with, seven actions, if you do any of them, you're going to improve 。
