英语写作能力是一种综合英语能力,它不仅考作者所掌握的语言知识,使用外语的熟练程度,同时还考个人的思维能力和知识面,因此外语写作对于大多数人而言,都是件头痛的事情。但这并非说外语写作高不可攀,一样有捷径可循。
高考“书面表达”的质量,既反映在表达内容上,也反映在书面形式上,因此,在教学过程中,从入门阶段的书写、抄写、拼写到听写等等,都要坚持从书写26 个字母的基本功抓起,要求学生书写规范,养成良好的书写习惯。

名词解释:男女双方举手投足都会给对方留下深刻印象,约会礼仪得体,是恋爱关系成功的开始。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
The research reveals that people have varying opinions when it comes to dating etiquette, but what is clear is that good manners are still a valued commodity when it comes to dining at a restaurant.
Everyone clearly has different standards and beliefs on the topic of paying the bill and finding their opposite attractive — finding a common ground on these types of issues is often the key to a compatible relationship.
It's also discovered that the majority of females — seven out of ten — believe that the fastest way for a man to win someone's heart is to act like a gentleman.
研究表明,人们对于约会礼仪的看法各不相同。但是有一点很清楚,用餐时得体的举止依然受到人们的重视。
账单谁来买,约会对象是否合心意,在这些问题上,每个人很明显都有自己的标准和观点。建立和谐关系的关键在于找到这些认识的共同点。
此外,研究还发现,大多数女性(70%)都认为绅士风度是男性赢得女性芳心的最快捷径。
文中的dating etiquette就是“约会礼仪”的意思,其中etiquette作名词,意为“礼仪;礼节”,如:The rules of etiquette are not so strict nowadays.(如今的礼仪规则已不那么严格了。)
需要注意的是,date和appointment均含有“约会”的意思,但是date表示异性间“社交约会”,如:make a date (with sb.) 与(某人)约会,而appointment通常指工作方面的约见,如:make an appointment to see the manager(约见经理)
第二段中的compatible是形容词,意为“一致的,协调的”,如:Their interests are not compatible with ours.(他们的利益和我们的利益不一致。)

生活有时候困难得难以置信,但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御,试图毁灭我们生活,甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普,在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。
In 2012 I had the worst year of my life.
2012年是我生活中最艰难的一年。
I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent copious quantities of money on superficialities. I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.
我做着讨厌的财务工作,住在难寻绿色的高楼林立的城市。我忙于无意义的交往,在一些肤浅表面的东西上大笔开销。我寻找快乐,却又不知道它在哪里。
Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and became virtually bed bound. I had to quit my job and subsequently was left with no income. I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great pressure. I eventually regained my physical health, but not long after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been admitted to a hospice.
然后我患上了慢性疲劳综合症,几乎到了卧床不起的地步。我不得不辞掉工作,同时也就断了财源。我和那时仅相处了3个月的男友住在一起,经济上完全依赖于他,我们的关系承受着巨大压力。终于我恢复健康,但不久,我接到家里的电话,父亲的癌症急剧恶化,已经住进了临终关怀中心。
I left the city and I went home to be with him.
我离开了城市,回家陪父亲。
He died 6 months later.
6个月之后,他去世了。
My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so strong that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly thought he would come back to life. I couldn’t believe I would never again cuddle into his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.
父亲的事让我彻底清醒。他一直很强壮,在他咽气之后一分钟里,我真的认为,他会活过来。我不能相信,我再也不能依偎在他温暖的怀抱里,享受他宽大的胸怀带给我的安全感。
The grief that followed was intense for all of us 5 children and our mother, but we had each other.
母亲和我们5个兄弟姐妹极为难过,但至少我们还拥有彼此。
But my oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.
但是,那时我大姐开始抱怨着背痛,2个月后,因疼痛加剧也住进了医院。
They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.
医生们检查发现,她已是骨癌晚期,对此他们已无能为力。
She died 1 month later.
1个月之后,她也走了。
I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.
大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。
She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.
在这个世界上,她是一个能走路、会说话的天使,我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我,世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么,那就是失去她。
She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.
她是我的灵魂伴侣,我从来没有想过,我会走过没有她陪伴的生命旅程。
The Moment Of Deliberate Choice
抉择时刻
The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.
我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家,没有钱,没有工作,也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。
I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.
我尝试着活下去,结果住进了医院。
I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.
我记得,躺在病床上,看着天花板,看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。
I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.
那天晚上,我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命,要么活下去。
I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.
望着姐姐的眼睛,我决定不跟她走。我要留下来,走完我的生命旅程。
I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.
同时,我还决定,不只为生活而生活,我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。
In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.
在那一刻,这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了,每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。
The Blossoms Of My Newly Chosen Life
我的生活之花重新绽放了
Since then I have begun to shape the most beautiful life for myself.
从那时起,我开始为自己塑造最美丽的生活。
I now live in an adorable stone cottage in a stunningly green, luscious region of the UK amongst woodlands and lakes.
现在,我住在英国一栋迷人的小石屋里,绿树掩映,与湖为伴,景色美丽宜人。
I have a deeply harmonious, joyful relationship with my amazing boyfriend, who’s gone through all this with me and we are very happy together.
我的男友很好,我们的关系和谐美好,他曾伴我度过那段艰难时期,现在我们一起分享着快乐。
I write a blog that inspires others to live the life that they love. It is what I know I was born to do and it truly makes my heart sing.
我写博客,激励他人过他们喜欢的生活。我知道这是我生来要做的事情,它真正使我感受到发自内心的快乐。
I am making new friends with beautiful souls all around the world.
我和世界上有着美好心灵的人交朋友。

每一天,我满怀对生活的感激之情,我满足于我现在拥有的一切。

I connect with my heart often to ensure that I am always following my joy.
我时常与心交流,确保做着喜欢的事。
I love myself more deeply every day.
我一天比一天更爱自己。
I live authentically now.
现在我真正地活着。
Waking Up
清醒
It took something powerfully transformative in my life to make me wake up. Wake up to some fundamental truths of life.This life is a gift if you want to accept it. No matter what the obstacle, you can make your life abundant with joy and you can live authentically.
生活中一些重大变化使我清醒,使我意识到生活的基本真理。如果你愿意接受生活,它就是礼物。无论遭遇任何困难,你总能让生活充满快乐,真正地生活。
Not a day goes by when I don’t miss my father’s huge character or my beloved sister’s gentle brown eyes, but I know that I will be with them one day for an eternity. What I have now is so precious and so fleeting that I must grasp the joy in every moment I can, and treat it as the gift that it is.
没有哪一天,我不思念父亲温暖的怀抱或至爱的姐姐温柔的棕色眼睛,但是,我知道,终有一天我会与他们相聚。我现在拥有的是如此珍贵、如此易逝,我必须尽情享受每一刻的欢愉,将其视为上帝的馈赠。
You choose life every day. But do you choose the life that you love every day?
每一天,你选择生活。但是,你是否每一天都过着想要的生活?

生活中我们常常会用到“I don't know”(我不知道)这个表达,可总这样说似乎也太单调乏味,用其他的表达来表示相同的意思会让你的话更加有趣和自然。下面一起来看看吧。
这个词为非正式用语,一般在口语中使用,孩子们不想回答父母的问题时会经常用到这个词。
e.g. ‘When do you have to submit this essay?’ ‘Dunno. I can’t remember.'
例句:“你什么时候要交论文?”“不知道,不记得了。”

下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:我可以坐这里吗,希望大家喜欢!
I look at spiders and butter-flies . I watch caterpillars and moths . Sometimes I think I'm the only one who notices these things . But if it hadn't been for a crowded cafeteria , I wouldn't Have ever noticed Valeri . After all , I wasn't looking for new friends .
我观察蜘蛛和蝴蝶,还研究毛毛虫和飞蛾。有时,我想我是唯一注意这些事物的人了。要不是一家拥挤的自助餐厅,我将永远不会注意到瓦莱丽。毕竟,我一直都没有找新朋友。
Valeri was a new student . She walked to class with her books huddled against her chest and her head down . He talked only when the teacher asked her a question . After a month at our school , she hadn't made any friend . At recess , she sat on a bench and read . If you asked who she was , you'd get a response like this , "She's in my PE class , I can't remenber her name ."
瓦莱丽是新来的学生。她总是将书抱在胸前,低着头走进教室。只有在老师提问她时,她才肯说话。她来我们学校一个月了,还没交到一个朋友。课间,她就坐在长椅上看书。如果你想知道她是谁,那你多半会得到这样的答复:“我和她在一起上体育课,但我不记得她叫什么。”
One day at lunch , I had nowhere to sit . Most tables were full , my friends scattered among them . But Valeri sat alone , book in hand , I walked over to her .
一天,吃午餐时,餐桌差不多都坐满了,我没地方坐了,我的朋友们都分散开了。但瓦莱丽拿着书一个人坐在那儿。于是,我朝她走了过去。
"May I sit here ?"I asked .
“我可以坐在这儿吗?”我问。
"Sure ,"she said .
“当然可以。”她说。
The cafeteria was noisy , but silence hung between us . Valeri didn't seem to mind , but it drove me crazy . I searched my mind for things to say .
餐厅里喧闹不已,而我们一直都沉默着。瓦莱丽好像并不在意,但我憋得受不了了。我绞尽脑汁,想找点话说。
"So,"I said , "is that a good book?"Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading . "What's it about?"I asked , after several more agonizing seconds of silence . She looked at me , her eyes sparkling .
“呃,那本书很好看吧?”瓦莱丽轻轻的点了点头,又继续看书。“都写了些什么呢?”我问道。一阵令人恼火的沉默之后,她终于看着我,眼中闪出异样的光芒。
"Well , it's called Eragon , and it's about a dragon!This boy , Eragon , finds this dragon egg when he goes hunging one day . He thinks it's a rock !The egg hatches and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big ."
“唔,它叫《龙骑士》,讲的是关于一条龙的故事!一天,一个名叫鄂尔根的男孩打猎时,发现了一枚龙蛋。他以为那是一块石头,但那枚龙蛋孵化出龙来,鄂尔根怕他的叔叔和堂兄发现,便把那条龙藏了起来,直到它长大。”
"That sounds cool."I said. I was about to ask her another question,but the bell rang.
“听来真不错。”我说。我还想再问个问题,可上课铃响了。
As I rushed out of the cafeteria , I called to Valeri , "See you later ."
我一边往餐厅外冲,一边对她大叫:“再见。”
"Yeah,"she said,"see you later."She sounded doubtful .
“好的,”她说,“再见。”她的声音若有若无。
A couple days later , I spotted Valeri looking for a place to sit at lunch .
几天以后,我发现瓦莱丽正在找地方坐下来吃饭。
"Valeri , come here."I pointed to an empty chair .
“瓦莱丽,来这里。”我指着一个空座位说。
She sat down and pulled out her book . Everyone was talking about next week's talent show . "So ,what are you doing for the show? "My friend Erin asked my friend Kelly .
她坐了下来,拿出书。当时,大家都在谈论下个星期的才艺展示会。“你打算表演什么?”我的朋友埃林和凯利交谈着。
"Oh,I don't know , probably nothing,"Kelly sighed ."What are you doing?"She pointed to Valeri.
“噢,我不知道,也许会放弃,”凯利叹着气,“你呢?”她问瓦莱丽。
"Oh."Valeri put her book down ."I don't know . Maybe nothing."
“噢,”瓦莱丽放下书,“我不知道,也许什么也不演。”
The week flew by . Before I knew it . I was sitting in the auditorium , listening to a group of girls sing the latest pop songs at the talent show . I was bored out of my life , and I wanted it to end so I could read Eragon . I'd checked it out at the library , Then a shy girl walked on stage . I recongized her immediately . Valeri clutched a violin in one hand and a bow in the other .
不知不觉中,周末就到了,我坐在会堂里,听一群女孩子唱当下最流行的歌曲,感觉却枯燥极了,真希望演唱快点结束,那样我就可以看《龙骑士》了,我在图书馆找到了这本书。这时,一个腼腆的女孩走上了舞台,我立刻认出了她------瓦莱丽。她一手抓着小提琴,一手拿着琴弓。
She stared to play . The notes formed a soft , weet tune . Then it turned fast , then faster . The music stopped altogether before the tune retumed . Valeri ended the song with one hard , fast , loud note . The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished . Still in a halftrance , we burst into applause . Valeri took a swift bow and walked off stage .
她开始拉提琴了。一个个音符变成了柔和,优美的旋律,韵律逐渐加快,她越拉越急,音乐声戛然而止。乐曲在瓦莱丽拉出一串强硬,急速,洪亮的音符后归于沉寂。会堂里出奇的安静,过了一会儿,我们才意识到她已经演奏完了。仍陶醉于美妙中的我们对她报以雷鸣般的掌声。瓦莱丽快速地鞠了一躬,走下了舞台。
I smiled to myself . Valeri wasn't just a "quiet girl" .She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing I'd ever heard . Like a caterpillar or butterfly , she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely .
我暗自微笑,原来瓦莱丽不仅仅是一个“安静的女孩”,她博览奇妙的好书,能拉出我闻所未闻的小提琴曲。她就像那毛毛虫或蝴蝶,当你靠近她,仔细的观察,你会发现,她有着惊人的美。

Six minutes to six, said the clock over the information booth in New York’s Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant lifted his sunburned face and narrowed his eyes to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat. In six minutes he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 month, the woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had sustained him unfailingly.
在纽约地铁中心总站,咨询处上方的时钟指向了5点54分。年轻高大的陆军中尉抬起黝黑的脸庞,眯着眼睛看上面的时间,一颗心激动得怦怦直跳,6分钟后,他就要见到那个女人了——在过去的13个月里一直占据着他心灵某个特殊位置的女人。虽然他们素未谋面,但她的信却一直是他的精神支柱。
Lieutenant Blandford remembered one day in particular, during the worst of the fighting, when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of enemy’s planes. In one of his letters he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle he had received her answer: “Of course you fear…all brave men do. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you: ‘yeah, though I walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will hear no evil: for thou art with me.’…” He had remembered, and it had renewed his strength.
布兰福德中尉记得那天,战斗艰苦的时刻,他的飞机被敌机重重包围。他曾在一封信里对她坦言,他常会感到畏惧。就在战斗打响的前几天,他收到了她的回信:“你当然会畏惧……勇士们都会那样,下次你在不自信时,我希望你能听到我为你朗诵的声音:‘啊,是的,尽管我要走过死亡之谷,但我将勇往直前,因为你与我同在。’”他记得,正是那封信使他重新振作。
Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six.
此时,他就要听到她真实的声音了,还有4分钟就6点了。
A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a flower, but it was not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was only about 18, and Hollis Meynell had told him she was 30. “What of it?” he had answered. “I’m 32.” He was 29.
一个女孩走近他,布兰福德中尉一惊。她戴着一朵花,但不是他们约好的那种红玫瑰。这个女孩只有18岁左右,而霍丽丝.梅内尔告诉过他,她已30岁。“有什么关系呢?”他还回信说,“我32岁”,其实他只有29岁
His mind went back to that book he had read in the training camp. Of Human Bondage it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman’s handwriting. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man’s heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the book plate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written; she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.
他又想到了在训练营时看过的一本书——《人性的枷锁》,书里有一个女人的批注。他难以相信,一个女人竟能如此透彻地读懂男人的心,书签上有她的名字:霍丽丝.梅内尔。于是他找来一本纽约市电话簿,查到了地址,给她写信,并收到了回信。因为执行任务,第二天他就坐船离开了,但他们仍保持通信。
For 13 months she had faithfully replied. When his letters did not arrive, she wrote anyway, and now he believed that he loved her and that she loved him.
13个月里,她始终诚挚地给他回信,通常是他的信还未到,她的信就来了。因此,他深信,他们彼此深爱着。
But she had refused all his pleas to send him her photograph. She had explained:” If you’re feeling for me has any reality, what I look like won’t matter. Suppose I’m beautiful. I’d always been haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I’m plain ( and you must admit that this is more likely), then I’d always fear that you were only going on writing because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don’t ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision.”
然而,她拒绝送他照片,并解释说:“如果你是真心对我,我的外表并不重要。如果我长得很漂亮,我会认为,你是爱我的外表,那样会另我很反感。如果我长相平凡(你必须承认这个更有可能),就会担心,你和我通信,是因为内心孤独,无人倾诉。别向我要照片。你来纽约时就可以看到我了,可以在那时做出某些决定。”
One minute to six…he put hard on a cigarette. Then Lieutenant Blandford’s heart leaped.
还有1分钟就6点了……布兰福德猛抽了一口烟,心跳更加快了。
A young woman was coming towards him. Her figure was long and slim; her blond hair lay back in curls over her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale-green suit, she was like springtime come alive.
一位年轻的女士向他走来,她身材苗条,金黄的卷发拢在小巧的耳后,双唇红润,下巴精致,眼睛深蓝动人。她穿着淡绿色的西装,浑身散发着青春的活力。
He started toward her, forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips.
他开始向她走去,根本没注意她是否戴着玫瑰花,他走近,看到她的嘴角浮起动人的微笑。
“Going my way, soldier?” she murmured. He made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.
“问路吗,军人?”她轻轻地说。他又走近一步,接着,他看到了霍丽丝.梅内尔
She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump; her thick ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes.
霍丽丝?梅内尔就站在这姑娘身后,一个40多岁的女人,灰白的头发塞在破旧的帽子下面,很胖,厚实的双脚穿着低跟鞋。
But she wore a red rose on her rumpled coat. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly. Blandford felt as though he were being split into two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own; and there she stood. He could see her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; her grey eyes had a warm twinkle.
可是她那皱巴巴的外衣上别着一朵红玫瑰。绿衣女孩匆匆离去。布兰福德心碎了,他多想跟着那女孩啊,然而他又真切地渴望见这个女人,是她的精神一直陪伴他,激励他。她就站在那里,苍白丰满的面庞,温柔而理性,灰色的眼睛里闪着温和的光芒。
Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the worn copy of Human Bondage which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, a friendship that he had been and must ever be grateful…
布兰福德没有犹豫,他紧抓着那本破旧的《人性的枷锁》,它是向她证明身份的依据。尽管这不会是爱情,但是一种珍贵的东西,是他曾经拥有并要感激的友情……
He squared his shoulders, saluted, and held the book out toward the woman, although even well while he spoke he fell the bitterness of disappointment. “I’m John Blandford, and you---you are Miss Meynell. May---may I take you to dinner?”
尽管因深深的失望而感到痛苦,布兰福德仍摆正双肩,敬了个礼,然后把书递给那个女人:“我是约翰?布兰福德,您——您是梅内尔女士吧,我可以——可以请您吃饭吗?”
The woman smiled. “I don’t know what this is all about, son,” she answered. “That young lady in the green suit, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you ask me to go out with you, I should tell you that she’s waiting for you in that restraint across the street. She said it was some kind of test.”
女人微笑着。“孩子,我不明白这是怎么回事,”她说道,“那位穿绿衣服的年轻小姐请求我戴上这朵玫瑰,她说如果你请我一块出去,就告诉你,她在对面的餐厅等你。她说这是一种考验。”

Six minutes to six, said the clock over the information booth in New York's Grand Central Station,The tall,young Army lieutenant heart was pounding with a beat. In six minutes he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 months, the women he had never seen, yet whose written words had sustained him unfailingly.
在纽约地铁中心总站,咨询处上方的时钟指向了5点54分。年轻高大的陆军中尉抬起黝黑的脸庞,眯着眼睛看上面的时间。一颗心激动得怦怦直跳,6分钟后,他就要见到那个女人了—在过去的13个月里一直占据着他心灵某个特殊位置的女人。虽然他们素未谋面。但她的信却一直是他的精神支柱。
Lieutenant Blandford remembered one day in particular,during the worst of the fighting,when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of enemy planes. In one of his letters he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle he had received her answer, "Of course you fear...all brave men do. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you, 'yeah,though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death,I will fear no evil,for thou art with me.’…”He had remembered, and it had renewed his strength.
布兰福德中尉记得那天,战斗最艰苦的时刻,他的飞机被敌机重重包围。他曾在一封信里对她坦言他常会感到畏惧。就在战争打响的前几天,他收到了她的回信:“你当然会畏惧,勇士们都会那样。下次在你不自信时,我希望你能听到我为你朗诵的声音:‘啊,是的,尽管我要走过死亡之谷。但我将勇往直前,因为你与我同在。’……”他记得,正是那封信使他重新振作。
Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six.
此时他就要听到她真实的声音了,还有4分钟就6点了。
A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started.She was wearing a flower, but it was not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides,this girl was only about 18, and Hollis Meynell had told him she was 30. "What of it?" he had answered, "I'm 32." He was 29.
一个女孩走近他,布兰福德中尉一惊。她戴着一朵花,但不是他们约好的那种红玫瑰。这女孩只有18岁左右,而霍丽丝·梅内尔告诉过他,她已30岁。“有什么关系呢,”他还回信说,“我32岁,”其实他只有29岁。
His mind went back to that book he had read in the training camp. Of Human Bondage it was;and throughout the book were notes in a woman's handwriting. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man's heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the book plate:Hollis Meynell. He had got hold of a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written;she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.
他又想到了在训练营时看过的一本书—《人性的枷锁》,书里有一个女人写的批注。他难以相信,一个女人竟能如此透彻地读懂男人的心。书签上有她的名字:翟丽丝·梅内尔。于是他找来一本纽约市电话簿,查到了地址,给她写信并收到了回信。因为执行任务,第二天他就坐船离开了,但他们仍然保持通信。
For 13 months she had faithfully replied,when his letter did not arrive, she wrote any way, and now he believed that he loved her and that she loved him.
13个月里,她始终诚挚地给他回信。通常是他的信还未到,她的信就来了。因此,他深信他们彼此深爱着。
But she had refused alt his pleas to send him her photograph. She had explained, "If your feeling for me has any reality, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be haunted by the feeling that you had been raking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain (and you must admit that this is more likely), then I'd always fear that you were only going on writing because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don't ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision."
然而,她拒绝送他照片,并解释说:“如果你真心对我,我的外表并不重要。如果我长得很漂亮,我会认为,你是爱我的外貌,那样会令我很反感。如果我长相平凡(你必须承认这个更有可能),就会担心你和我通信是因为内心孤独,无人倾诉。别向我要照片。你来纽约时就可以看到我了,可以在那时作出某些决定。”
One minute to six... he pulled hard on a cigarette. Then Lieutenant Blandford's heart leaped.
还有1分钟就6点了……布兰福德猛抽了一口烟,心跳更加快了。
A young woman was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim;her blond hair lay back in curls over her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale- green suit, she was like springtime come alive.
一位年轻的女士向他走来,她身材苗条,金黄的卷发拢在小巧的耳后,双唇红润,下巴精致,眼睛深蓝动人。她穿着淡绿的西装,浑身散发着青春的活力。
He started toward her, forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips.
他开始向她走去,根本没注意她是否戴着玫瑰花,他走近, 看到她嘴角浮起动人的微笑。
"Going my way, soldier?" she murmured. He made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.
“问路吗,军人,”她轻轻地说。他又走近一步,接着,他 看到了霍丽丝·梅内尔。
She was standing almost directly behind the girl,a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump:her thick ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes.
霍丽丝·梅内尔就站在这姑娘的身后,一个40多岁的女人。灰白的头发塞在破旧的帽子下面,很胖,厚实的双脚穿着低跟鞋。
But she wore a red rose on rumpled coat.
可在她那皱巴巴的外衣上别着一朵红玫瑰。
The girl in the green suit was walking quickly.
绿衣女孩匆匆离去。
Blandford felt as though he were being split into two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl,yet so deep was his longing for the women whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own;and there she stood. He could see her pale,plump face was gentle and sensible; her gray eyes had a warm twinkle.
布兰福德心碎了,他多想跟着那女孩啊,然而他又真切地渴望见这个女人,是她的精神一直陪伴他,激励他。她就站在那里,苍白丰满的面庞,温柔而理性,灰色的眼睛里闪着温和的光芒。
Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the worn copy of Human Bondage which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, a friendship for which he had been and must ever be grateful...
布兰福德没有犹豫,他紧抓着那本破旧的《人性的枷锁》。它是向她证明身份的依据。尽管这不会是爱情,但是是一种珍贵的东西,是他曾经拥有并要感激的友情……
He squared his shoulders, saluted, and held the book out toward the woman,although even while he spoke he felt the bitterness of his disappointment.“I'm John Blandford,and you...you are Miss Meynell. May...may I take you to dinner?"
尽管因深深的失望而感到痛苦,布兰福德仍摆正双肩,敬了个礼,然后把书递给那个女人:“我是约翰·布兰福德,您……您是梅内尔女士吧,我可以··一可以请您吃饭吗?”
The woman smiled. "I don't know what this is all about,son,”she answered,"That young lady in the green suit, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you asked me to go out with you, I should tell you she's waiting for you in that restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of a test."
女人微笑着。“孩子,我不明白这是怎么回事。”她说道,“那位穿绿衣服的年轻小姐请求我戴上这朵玫瑰,她说如果你请我一块儿出去,就告诉你,她在街对面的餐厅等你。她说这是一种考验。”

我不会盼望妊娠早日过去,而是会珍惜怀孕的每一刻,并仔细体会腹内奇迹的成长,因为这是我一生中唯一一次帮助上帝创造奇迹的机会。

但是,更重要的是,如果生命可以重来,我将珍惜每一分钟。凝视它,并体会它。体验它,不会轻易对它放手。不再为小事而斤斤计较!
Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

购物是一件很开心的事情,购物[Shopping]意指:购买物品。简单来说就是人们购买各种各样物品的行为或方式,物品包括实物和虚拟物品。对很多人来说,购物是一种休闲活动,可以逛不同的商店选购产品。下面读文网小编为大家带来购物英语阅读,欢迎大家阅读!
据哈佛医学院和美国老年研究会的研究人员介绍,红葡萄酒中所含的一种天然物质可以抵消有害健康的高脂肪饮食的负面影响,能起到延年益寿的作用。
研究人员在红葡萄酒中发现了一种名叫多元酚的物质,这种物质不仅使试验小白鼠的寿命得以延长,而且还减少了它们患心脏病、糖尿病和由肥胖引发的其它疾病的几率。
研究人员给其中一组小白鼠喂食饱和脂肪,相当于每顿吃一个奶油蛋糕,结果发现,这些小白鼠变成了“肥胖鼠”,而且还患上了肝病、心脏病等疾病,它们的寿命比饮食正常的白鼠要短得多。
而另一组小白鼠在被喂以高脂肪食物的同时,还摄入了从红葡萄中提取的多元酚。结果发现,这组小白鼠虽然也变得肥胖,但它们的健康状况和寿命与正常白鼠几乎差不多。
此外,研究发现,多元酚是造成所谓的“法国异常”现象的主要原因。虽然法国人爱食肉类、奶酪和面包等脂肪含量较高的食物,但他们患心脏病的几率较低。
红葡萄酒中所含的多元酚对于昆虫、果蝇和酵母具有同样功效。
哈佛医学院研究小组成员约瑟夫·鲍尔说:“我们希望得出的结论是,多元酚能够起到与热量限制相同的作用,但目前还无法确定。”
哈佛医学院在发表的一份声明中提到,此项“白鼠实验”首次表明,多元酚能使哺乳动物的寿命延长。

下面我来讲一讲我自己的经历。我从 18 岁开始真正地学习英语,我成长的时候正值战争年代——当时,我才进入中学学习。战争越来越烈,一年级和二年级时还有教室,可是那时我不太专心学习,所以对那时候的事没有什么印象了。到了三年级和四年级时,学校变成了转盘工厂,军队中的下级士兵每天都在那里劳动。我们也和军人们穿着同样的衣服,挥舞着牛蒡剑,操着三八式步枪,每天早晨到操场点名——过的是和军队一样的生活, 所以几乎不上课。
但是,每天晚上 7 点到 11 点的 延迟宵禁是专为学生们学习用的时间。有些聪明的孩子考虑到自己的将来,白天几乎不消耗自己的体力,适度地偷些懒,好到了延迟宵禁的时间来学习。但是我当时根本没有那种脑子,每天白天都带头儿活动,所以即使有时想利用晚上 7 点以后的延迟宵禁时间去自习教室学习一会儿, 可是书本翻开看了不到 10 分钟就开始打瞌睡,什么也没进脑子里,所以白费力气。我是为了面子才不得不到教室里去的, 但当时几乎是不学习的。
每天操练完毕回到房间里,再和大家说会儿话,一到时间就立刻睡觉了。 我那时选择的是这样一种轻松的生活方式, 所以战争一结束,麻烦就来了。 在战争时 代努力学习的朋友们都很兴奋, 说 :“我们的时代终于到来了, 知识的时代终于到来了。” 战争结束后, 我到那些延迟宵禁时间的教室里一看,不禁吓了一跳,大家讨论的都是诸如一元函数、二元函数啦,对数啦,虚拟语气之类高深的东西。我当时就呆住了:这些人到底在说些什么?他们说的东西我完全不懂,这种打击实在是太大了。
转学后,成绩最差的我
战争结束后第二天就实行了武装解除。我们重新开始上课,很快就有了英语课。在英语老师到来后进行的摸底考试中,能够拼写出 beautiful 这个单词的人在四年级全班里只有一半。 所谓四年级,就是现在的高中一年级——战争在我们高中一年级的暑假时结束。
为了惩罚那些写不出 beautiful 的学生,让他们围着操场跑了一圈儿。我是最后回来的,老师就对我说: “再罚你跑一圈儿!”所以我比别人多跑了一倍。那时我就是这样毫无基础可言的学生。
两年后,我转学到了岛根县的松江,成了相当于现在高中二年级的学生。 在高一暑假战争结束了, 之后我也 没学习, 就 到了松江,上了高二,所以我的成绩在全班最差。公布成绩时我涨红了脸站在教室里——英语不会,数学不会,物理也不会,被点到名时只有站着。我的年龄比别人大两岁,所以觉得分外惭愧。上课时我什么也不明白,所以只好靠自学追上去。那时我住在乐山学生宿舍,在松江的乐山山里。这个宿舍是为穷学生提供的福利设施之一,我也托人进去了, 每个月的生活费只要 200 日元——那时一升米还要 200日元呢。 我还争取到了奖学金, 每个月有 200 日元。 这就是当时的我。
我搬进学生宿舍,开始拼命学习,要想赶上别人就只能自己努力学习。但是,虽然那时我很努力地自学,却因为以前习惯了使用身体,剧烈的体力劳动是没问题了,一谈到用脑子就不行了。每天一到了 10 点就开始打瞌睡,即使看书也是一个字儿也看不进去。
虽然我是和同学坐在一起学习,可是仍然是什么也没学进去。学英语时更是刚一打开书就开始犯困。这样的状态根本没法学习。
一个月复习初中英语
如果那时候放弃了也就完了,永远也赶不上别的同学了。所以我就锻炼自己,在睡觉的时间强忍着不睡。穷学生住的乐山宿舍共有二三十间屋子,每天晚上你到每间屋子转一圈,会发现在 12 点以前睡觉的学生几乎没有,一两点钟大家都还在学习,甚至有人 3点钟还在学习。那个时候我才开始懂了什么叫学习。为了不输给别人, 我也努力不睡觉, 困劲儿过去以后, 即使到了一两点、 两三点,头脑还是非常清醒。只要过了困劲儿,大脑就会有这样的一段清醒时间,这是我的一大发现。我就利用这样的时间拼命地学习。
当然,睡觉的时间会变少,有时候上课时就会特别困,听课也听不进去。反正听了也不明白老师在说些什么,干脆打盹儿。我还记得当时上课睡觉时尽量不发出鼾声。 教师说 :“那样可 不行, 不能边打工边上学, 来了也 不听讲。” 就把我给放了。 所以我在上课时很不安心地睡完觉,晚上回到宿舍再努力学习。
我一定得赶上别人的就是我完全不懂的英语。所以我就先用一个月时间复习初中学的英语。 你知 道现在初中 3 年学的英语的单词量是多少吗?只有 900 个。但是我们那时要有 1800 个。初中 3年要学习 2000 个左右的单词, 我用一个月时间来学, 30 天每天背70 个单词!我给自己定下了每天背 70 个单词的任务。然后我就痛下苦功,却在无意间开发了自己的右脑记忆。我学习的时候都是用很快的速度大声、反复地朗读,没有想过要记住什么。 如果你 老是想着要把内容记住的话, 就只 是活动了左脑。 大量、反复地朗读,不考虑其中的意思,就能够进入大脑深处的海马记忆中。如果理解了所念内容的意思,就是在使用浅层大脑——左脑。
右脑学习法和所学内容的含义没有关系,不需要想着要记住,只要大声地反复朗读就可以了。这种学习方法可以为你开发出完全不同的能力回路,它就是大脑的秘密工作。
我用一个月复习了初中 3 年的所有单词, 然后就开始学习高中的单词。 我知道学习高中单词也只要 3 个月就够了。 现在高中毕业的学生在学校学习的英语单词只有 3000 个, 可是过去要学习 6000个单词。所以考试如果认为仅凭在学校学的就大错特错了——还得自己把那 3000 个单词补上来。不会单词就不能学好英语。
“快速、大声、重复”学习法——一个月记下
2000 个单词
学习英语的基础是单词。
所以一定要知道怎样背单词。那时候,我是偶然掌握了背单词的窍门——我每个月能够真正记住 2000 个单词。我的做法是:每天把 70 个单词写下来, 10 遍、 20 遍地反复、大声地念。
因为当时我住的是穷学生的宿舍,所以饭吃的也很少,常常饿肚子。每天早晨,宿舍为学生们提供午饭便当,可是我觉得带到学校太麻烦,就把它和早饭一起吃掉。这样就没有午饭了。同学们都把吃饭的时间省出来,跑到乐山山背后去大声背单词。早晨时间很紧,但也要学习,中午也学,晚上睡觉也学。睡觉前学习的东西最容易记在脑子里。我下了 400% 的力气来学习。
每天背 70 个单词,快速、大声、反复地念上它二十几遍。不考虑是否一定记得住,只是一味地朗读下去。我在每天晚上检查自己一天的成果:看着单词的翻译部分,把英语部分盖起来,全都能想起来;反过来盖着翻译部分看英语部分,也都知道单词的意思——反复地朗读就能够使读过的东西进到脑子里。今天要背的内容虽然是重点,但是别忘了复习一遍昨天背过的内容,还要复习一遍前天和 3 天前背过的。 但是如果把以前每天背过的内容都复习 20 遍,就要花越来越多的时间,所以一两遍就可以了。重点虽然在今天要学的东西上, 但是要把 3 天前到今天为止学过的东西用眼睛过一遍。
这样到了明天, 4 天前背过的东西已经记在脑子里,就不用再复习了。按照这种方法,只要一个月就能记住 2000 个单词。每个月都这样认真地大声朗读,英语水平就会逐渐提高。现在可能看课本完全不明白, 考试的问题也全不会答, 但是别着 急。 一个月 一个月地,2000 个、 4000 个、 6000 个单词地背下去,就能记住好多单词,你会发现自己不认识的单词越来越少了。
当然我不是在教你只背单词。在翻译、阅读和作文上也要花费相当的时间。背单词所花的时间不是很多,所以其他学习同样也可以不必花太长时间, 包括语法。 学习到夜里 3 点半, 慢 慢地学习成绩一定会提高。
一个学期结束了, 暑假也结束了。 暑假里每天都是自己的时间,所以是我学习的“旺季”。 我想, 当学生真是门不错的行当, 光是学习就行了,真想再当一次学生。我从来没有那样认真、努力地学习过,真正是每天从早学到晚。
9 月份开始进入了第二个学期。当时物理老师时不时地休假,就由英语老师来上课。可是那天往往谁也没带英语书,带辞典来的也有 3 个人左右, 这样就没法上课了, 所以英语老师就在黑板上写大学入学考试的试题。那时刚采取新的教育体制,过去的松山高中和松江高中现在都要为上大学做准备了。老师还在黑板上写了一些东京外国语大学和东京大学的考试题,让我们翻译。因为是第二学期刚开始的时候,大家还都没怎么开始学习,所以很多同学都答不出来。其中有六七个平时学习很用功的同学,虽然能够做对地方大学的问题,但是最后到了东京外国语大学和东京大学的题目时还是翻译不出来了。
不知为什么,那时老师总是向我提问,可能是因为我经常走神儿看着窗外吧。 “那个同学,你在看哪儿?你来回答一下!”我真是常常被点名。站起来,也没有辞典就开始翻译。当我把那些谁也不会翻译的题说出答案时,全班都哗然了。我本来是学习最差的呀!
只过了一个学期,就变成了什么都会的学生!下课以后大家纷纷围着我,都问我是怎么学习的。
那一年,我还开始认真学习了平川唯一先生的教材,每天认真地朗读、背诵。上学的路上我就大声地背已经背过的东西,争取全部都能记牢。谁也没教过我背诵时要出声,可是我就是自己采取了这种方法。
我记得那以后我的英语考试从来没有得过 100 分以下, 老是考第一,总是能答对东京大学的题目,还能用英语说了。
还有一个秘密方法谁也没教过我,是我自己学会的,就是捂着耳朵朗读。这是改善听觉的方法,能够使发音和听力都得到改善。
捂着耳朵朗读的方法使我的发音全班最好
事实上,耳朵里面有两扇大门。一扇大门通过鼓膜接收空气振动音,人们平常所使用的基本上都是这扇大门,所以我们往往以为只有一扇门的存在。但是还有另一扇,它不接收空气的振动音,而是听取我们身体内部传播的体内振动音。胎儿每天在妈妈的肚子里听着爸爸妈妈的声音,他们所使用的就不是鼓膜——胎儿居住在妈妈肚子里的羊水里,所以听到的就是体内振动音。
接收体内振动音的大门是和鼓膜连接在一起的。镫骨、锤骨和砧骨的基本职能就是负责捕捉体内振动音并正确地理解这些声音。
因为胎儿是在母亲身体内听到声音,所以能够正确地捕捉语言。有一些研究表明,通过让患有自闭症的儿童听体内振动音,能够使他们逐渐学会正确理解语言。还有的研究表明,让那些不能正确地发出 L 和 R 音的人听体内振动音, 这些人最终能够发出清楚的 L 和 R音。
耳朵里面的两扇大门中, 最根本的是听取体内振动音的那扇门。
有一种方法可以让我们简单地再体现体内振动音,就是捂上自己的耳朵来发音。这时自己的声音模糊起来,只能通过振动音来听,所以接收体内音的大门就自动开启了。这种练习继续下去,发音就会变得越来越好。我和哥哥一起住在穷学生宿舍时,哥哥就曾表扬过我: “你的英语发音一天比一天好了,真厉害呀。”现在想来,就是一种学习方法帮了我,使我的发音在全班最好。我的方法就是模仿平川唯一老师的发音,捂上耳朵练习朗读,主要还是听。
以前我以为这种捂着耳朵发音练习说话的方法是我自己 的 专利,但是最近有一个英语演讲名人写了一本书,说他自己就是用这种方法练习的。 我很吃 惊,“英雄 所见略同” 居然在这里还可以派上用场。这个说的方法和我是一样的,就是通过捂着耳朵练习发音能够很大地改善听力。
捂上两只耳朵也行, 捂上一只耳朵也可以。 如果只捂一只耳朵,请选听到的声音比较大的那只耳朵。我觉得哪只耳朵都无所谓,只要这样来练习说话就行了。每天朗读,这们你说话时的速度就是你朗读时的速度。
我经常去新加坡、香港和美国等地参加研讨会,从早到晚说英语,不需要翻译,我说英语的速度就是平时练习朗读时的速度。刚开始时,一年也未必说一次英语,平时不用英语,所以这时候我有点儿不知该怎么办才好。但是看着稿子时英语就说得劈里啪啦的。
我想这样可不行,就坚持完全不看稿,并在讲话时加上一些笑话。
这样我越说英语就越流利,自己也觉得“说得真好呀,这是谁在说呀”。 英 语一天比一天好, 简直是 一日千里地进步着。 我应该是在用右脑来说话吧。
上高中时的我用一年时间就培养出了这样的能力。其实我自己也有一个榜样,那是上初中三年级的时候,有个男生只用了一年时间汉语就说得刮刮叫。我虽然生长在一个可以说汉语的环境里,可是平时根本不用汉语。学校每星期有一次汉语课,可是我还是不会汉语。虽然在中国长到了 17 岁,可是不会说汉语,只会一点点简单的会话。但是这个转校生只用了一年就能够说汉语了,后来他还当起了翻译,真是太了不起了。我明白了,只要下定决心努力,一年就能掌握汉语。 当我问他, 他是 怎么学习汉语的时候, 他告诉我,就是背诵一本书,一本汉语会话书。他跟着中国人学习,只练习背诵,一年就学会了汉语,他就是我的榜样。所以我也下定决心要这样学习。我认为最好的方法就是以背诵为中心的学习方法。如果过分强调理解就成了左脑学习法。还是采取以背诵为中心的方法吧,不要采取以理解为中心的方法。
有人说,如果是以背诵为中心,那思考和理解能力不就变差了吗?不是这样的。如果记忆是浅层的,那就只是侧头叶记忆;但是通过重复朗读、背诵,记忆能够到达深层,进入海马中,这样你的大脑就会变得更聪明、更灵敏、更加富于感性和创造性。只背一遍是不行的,考完试以后立刻忘光的死记硬背也是不行的。正确的方法是深层记忆背诵。
右脑虽不追求理解或记忆,却能够让你理解和记忆右脑学习法的中心不是理解,左脑和右脑的工作是不同的。左脑的工作节奏慢,它的学习方法是追求理解和依赖理解的记忆——“这个一定要背下来。嗯,明白了。理解了吗?”这种方法只开动了左脑, 信息也全部进入了左脑。 右脑能够快速、 大量地接收信息,虽不追求理解和记忆,却能够让你获得非凡的理解和记忆能力。
你一定要知道大脑两半球的区别所在。左脑的学习方式是渐进的、理性的和理论的,使用左脑时,信息就只能进入左脑,并从左脑输出——这是一种机械的重复。右脑的学习方式是大量、迅速地记忆,信息能够从右脑输出——这和灵感、感性以及创造性都有密切关联。所以右脑学习法是比左脑学习法好得多的教学方法,但是人们并不太了解它。
古代虽然没有右脑教育的理论,但是实际上采用的却是右脑教学法。佛经中也有这种方法存在,不求理解,只需背诵。请用这种方法来教小学生和中学生吧!他们就会变得和别的孩子不同,记忆力特别好,以后学习成绩也会很好。如果可能的话,把这种方法告诉一些智商不高的孩子,他们有可能会在某一天突然变成全班第一呢!
让我们今天就开始使用这种大脑使用方法和学习方法吧。它是一种和你以前所使用的完全不同的方法,虽然使用是不要求理解,但是反复练习 30 分钟后, 所有的学习内容就都进入你的脑子里了。
以理解为中心的学习方法每记 10 个单词都要花不少时间,而且很难记得住——用这种方法背 10 个单词往往要花上你 30 分钟的时间,可是第二天就全忘光了。但是如果你用很快的速度反复大声朗读, 30 分钟以后所有的单词就都记在脑子里了。 如果再使用人类文明的武器——录音机和 CD ,那就更不得了。背 1 个单词用 1 秒时间, 60 个单词背 1 遍只要 1 分钟!如果是双倍速练习,只要 30秒, 4 倍速练习只要 15 秒。背 1 遍单词只要 15 秒!背 4 遍 1 分钟,背 8 遍两分钟,背 12 遍只 要 3 分钟。这样背 20 遍也没什么困难的,很省时间,而且背过的全都能记住。用这种方法学习吧!
高中时代我无意中发明了这种学习方法,它让脑子并不聪明的我变成了全班第一。从那时开始我就有了一个外号叫“英语天才”。
之前我成绩那么差,可是后来却有了这样大的改变,全亏了这种学习方法。
我认为,学习方法中最终还是以记忆为中心的方法最好。首先请你摆正学习态度: 不要变成被动型, 而要采取“主动型学习”,学习外国的文化, 如 “ Jack and Betty ” 和外国人的生活等。 有一些文章讲伦敦怎么样、纽约怎么样,这些并没有什么帮助作用。反而可以背诵一些讲东京、歌舞伎,或豆腐做法的文章,因为这些内容大家都能说——主动型学习。背一些自己想说的内容,每天用 30- 69 -超右脑英语学习法分钟朗读这些内容就可以了。
我经常用英语来讲自己的工作。我每天都要朗读几遍自己要说的内容和自己的书的英译本,这样当你说的时候就能够和稿子上的一模一样,很轻松。要把自己想说的背诵下来说,这种训练是很有效的。不要练习对话,英语会话学习班的对话类型起不到什么好的效果。对话太浅了,只能在特定的场合里使用。但是如果你记忆的是主动型的内容, 你就能够根据题目连续说上 30 分钟甚至 40 分钟。
英语会话培训里的那些购物、饭店或海关的场景只能用在特定的场合里,这些可以以后再学。现在要记忆的是对现在有用的内容。请采取这种学习方法。
有没有什么相关的教材呢?我到各个书店转了转,找到了一套不错的书——《 VOA 英语新闻听力初挑战》。 VOICE OF AMERICA是美国新闻广播, 没有特别难的单词。 这是最容易听懂的一套教材。
书还配有 CD 。如果能够对 CD 进行一下加工,用双倍速或 4 倍速来听就更好了。你可以一边看着教材,一边模仿磁带来学习。我觉得最好的教材还是“主动型”并配有磁带或 CD 的教材, 因为这种教材里的内容以后能够直接变成你说话的内容,很有帮助。
同时式的英语教材远比重复式教材好
有一些英语教材采用的是重复式,我不赞成使用这种教材。它们的方法是磁带发音后留一段空白时间让听的人照着念,这简直太浪费时间了。我们不需要利用重复的这点儿时间,只要跟着磁带同时快速地读就可以了。如果用双倍速放磁带就能更快。刚开始时可能听不懂,追不上磁带的速度,但是听了几次以后自然就明白、记住了, 这时 就能够和磁带同时发声了——这就是所谓“同 时式”。用同时 式的教材 可以快速 学习,大 脑也能够 变成“双 倍速脑” 和“ 4倍速脑”。
这种学习方式不需要花费太长时间练习。请你选择一些能够进- 70 -超右脑英语学习法行加工的教材。
