几乎每个学习英语的人都会经历这个阶段；这是在学习语言的过程中很自然的一个部分。如果你全身心的投入在英语中，这个阶段可能会只持续几个星期；但是如果你每周只说两次英语，那么这个阶段会持续很长时间。克服这种挫败感的唯一方法就是不断的练习，练习，练习。 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. 牢记于心，这种挫败感并不是因为你不够聪明或是因为这个语言太难，这是许多人都要经历的一个阶段。接受挫败，通过不断地增强练习强度来深切感受这个阶段，你才会快速克服这个阶段。 5. Don’t take it personally when people don’t understand you 5. 当别人没有理解你的时候不要把它看成是别人针对你 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. 说口语的过程中总会遇到一些人，无论你多么努力尝试去表达但是他们就是听不懂你的意思。因为世界上说英语的人数量繁多，地方口音比较繁杂，有的非常难懂。我曾有一段时间很难听懂澳大利亚口音和大多数爱尔兰口音。 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. 当和那些很少接触外国人的母语人士聊天时，你会经常遇到这个问题。如果他们没有和外国人聊天的经历，他们会习惯性的期待你用他们的方式来说英语，而且和你说话时他们不会有任何参照。你要意识到他们的反应并不是对你的语言技巧的反应，而仅仅反映出这个人欠缺和不同的人交流的经历。 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. 当同英语水平比你差的英语学习者谈话时这种情况也会发生。因为你掌握的词汇更高级，他们听不懂你在说什么。试着去相信你曾经也是那个水平，而且不是每个人学习语言的人都有相同的语言水平。 6. Don’t compare yourself to other English Speakers 6. 不要同他人对比 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. 不论你的英语水平在什么级别，你都需要努力让自己达到更高的水平。为你所达到的水平感到光荣，不要过度的关心他人怎么想。他们不知道你究竟花了多少时间才达到现在的水平，他们也不知道你达到这种水平经历了多少苦难。 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. 这也意味着你不需要同其他人对比。每个人都不同，相对于其他人，一些人学习语言更轻松，而另一些人则需要花更多的时间来提升英语。也许你的朋友在伦敦住了三年就能说一口流利的英语，但这并不意味着你的方法不对。 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. (责任编辑：admin) |
