教初中生一口流利英語的七大法則(3)

　　幾乎每個學習英語的人都會經歷這個階段；這是在學習語言的過程中很自然的一個部分。如果你全身心的投入在英語中，這個階段可能會只持續(xù)幾個星期；但是如果你每周只說兩次英語，那么這個階段會持續(xù)很長時間�？朔�這種挫敗感的唯一方法就是不斷的練習，練習，練習。

　　Keep in mind that this frustration isn’t because you’re not smart enough， or because the language is too difficult， it is something that many people have to go through. By embracing this frustration and feeling it more intensely through increased exposure you can pass through this stage more rapidly.

　　牢記于心，這種挫敗感并不是因為你不夠聰明或是因為這個語言太難，這是許多人都要經歷的一個階段。接受挫敗，通過不斷地增強練習強度來深切感受這個階段，你才會快速克服這個階段。

　　5. Don’t take it personally when people don’t understand you

　　5. 當別人沒有理解你的時候不要把它看成是別人針對你

　　At some point in your English speaking career you are going to speak to someone who， no matter how hard you try just cant seem to understand you. Due to the large number of English speakers in the world， there are a wide range of accents， some of which are hard to understand. I for one have a hard time understanding some Australian accents and most Irish accents.

　　說口語的過程中總會遇到一些人，無論你多么努力嘗試去表達但是他們就是聽不懂你的意思。因為世界上說英語的人數量繁多，地方口音比較繁雜，有的非常難懂。我曾有一段時間很難聽懂澳大利亞口音和大多數愛爾蘭口音。

　　You’ll have this problem a lot when talking with people who aren’t used to dealing with foreigners. If they don’t have this experience they will be used to hearing English spoken in a very specific way， and they won’t have any frame of reference when talking to you. Realize that this isn’t a reflection of your language skills， but rather a reflection of this person’s lack of exposure to different people.

　　當和那些很少接觸外國人的母語人士聊天時，你會經常遇到這個問題。如果他們沒有和外國人聊天的經歷，他們會習慣性的期待你用他們的方式來說英語，而且和你說話時他們不會有任何參照。你要意識到他們的反應并不是對你的語言技巧的反應，而僅僅反映出這個人欠缺和不同的人交流的經歷。

　　This can also happen when talking to English learners who have a lower level of English than you. They won’t be able to understand everything you say because of your more advanced vocabulary. Try to remember that you were once at their level and not everyone is at the same place on their language journey.

　　當同英語水平比你差的英語學習者談話時這種情況也會發(fā)生。因為你掌握的詞匯更高級，他們聽不懂你在說什么。試著去相信你曾經也是那個水平，而且不是每個人學習語言的人都有相同的語言水平。

　　6. Don’t compare yourself to other English Speakers

　　6. 不要同他人對比

　　No matter what level your English is at， you had to work hard to bring yourself to that level. Be proud of what you’ve accomplished and don’t be too concerned with what other people think about it. They don’t know how many hours you’ve had to work to get to where you are， they don’t know all the struggles you’ve been through to get there.

　　不論你的英語水平在什么級別，你都需要努力讓自己達到更高的水平。為你所達到的水平感到光榮，不要過度的關心他人怎么想。他們不知道你究竟花了多少時間才達到現在的水平，他們也不知道你達到這種水平經歷了多少苦難。

　　This also means you shouldn’t go around comparing yourself to other people. Everybody is different； some people learn languages more easily than others and some people have spent more time working to improve their English. Just because your friend who lived in London for 3 years can speak really well doesn’t mean that you’re not on the right path.

　　這也意味著你不需要同其他人對比。每個人都不同，相對于其他人，一些人學習語言更輕松，而另一些人則需要花更多的時間來提升英語。也許你的朋友在倫敦住了三年就能說一口流利的英語，但這并不意味著你的方法不對。

　　Some people like to see others fail， and by paying any attention to these people you are just feeding their negativity. Any time you spend worrying about what they think of you is time wasted that could be better spent by working to improve your English.
