    學英語的時候什麼最重要呢?

  • Speaking, listening, pronunciation, reading, writing?

    我沒有要讓你等五分鐘,到影片結束才告訴你。

  • I'm gonna tell you right now that speaking is the most important English skill, in my opinion.

    現在就揭曉答案,我認為口說最重要。

    你可以在這裡觀看提升寫作技巧的影片。

  • So, why is speaking the most important English skill?

    那麼,為何口說是學習英語最重要的部分呢?

  • Let's take a look at the top three situations where you're most likely to use English.

    一起來看看前三大可能需要使用英語的場合吧!

  • Number one: traveling to another country.

    一、出國旅遊

  • If you go to New York City, or even to Berlin in Germany,

    假設你去紐約,或甚至德國柏林,

  • you're gonna need to communicate with the hotel staff, the airport crew, your tour guide.

    你一定會需要跟飯店、機場工作人員,還有導遊溝通。

  • You're not gonna to write down, excuse me, my flight was delayed, can you help me book another flight?

    你不能用寫的,寫說「對不起,我的航班延誤了,能幫我訂另一個航班嗎?」

  • No, no, no, you're not gonna write it down, you're gonna say it.

    用寫的是行不通的,你得用說的。

  • You need to speak with those people.

    一定會需要跟人溝通。

  • If you don't know what to say in those situations, you can watch my travel playlist up here for some essential travel expressions.

    如果不知道在這些情況下該說什麼,可以點這觀看我的旅行相關播放列表,學習基本旅遊英語表達。

  • Number two is: you go on a business meeting internationally

    情況二,參加國際商務會議

  • or maybe you have an American client or representative from the American branch come to visit you in your country.

    又或是,也許有位美國客戶或美國分公司的代表來你的國家拜訪。

  • In this situation, it's even more important to speak English,

    此情況下,口說能力就更加重要了。

  • because, yes, you'll have some business meetings, you'll have some business conversations,

    當然,你會有商務會議或商業相關談話,

  • but you'll probably also take the clients or take the representatives to dinner.

    但你也可能需要帶客戶或來訪代表去聚餐。

  • In these casual situations you're gonna need to speak the whole time together, so speaking is essential.

    這種非正式場合,席間將會有不間斷的對話,這使得口說能力更加不可或缺。

  • Number three: you want to make friends around the world--

    三、與世界各地的人交友

  • and really, who doesn't want to make friends around the world.

    誰不想與來自世界各地的人交友呢?

  • This is truly how we can have more peace in the world.

    這是達成世界和平的方式呀。

  • I know it seems idealistic and like a fantasy,

    我知道這聽起來太過理想化,像是童話。

  • but really when we see other people and talk with other people from other cultures, we can connect more directly,

    但當我們能與其他文化背景的人交流時,我們能更直接地產生聯繫,

  • and we can more directly see what other people are like, and we often learn that people are people everywhere.

    我們可以更直接地了解他人樣貌,明白不論來自何處,人都是一樣的。

  • Now that I've explained why speaking is the most important English skill,

    在解釋了為什麼口說是最重要的英語技能後,

  • I'd like to tell you that the second most important skill in English is listening.

    我想告訴大家,英語中第二重要的技能是聽力。

  • Why?

    為什麼呢?

  • Well, conversations are two way.

    這個嘛,對話是雙向的。

  • You speak, they listen. They speak, you listen.

    你說對方聽,對方說你聽。

  • You have to understand the other person in order to have a conversation.

    你得聽得懂對方在說什麼才能構成對話。

  • But how can you understand fast, natural English conversations?

    但如何才能聽得懂語速快的母語者英語呢?

  • Well, I have some good news.

    有個好消息報你知!

  • You can click on the video up here or in the description and this lesson will help you a lot.

    點擊此處或說明中的影片連結,這支影片絕對能幫到你。

  • It will increase your listening skills, and you'll be on the path to understanding native speakers

    幫助你提升聽力,帶你走上輕鬆理解母語人士的道路。

  • so that you can speak and have a conversation.

    讓你流利溝通。

  • We've talked about speaking, and listening and writing, but what about pronunciation?

    我們已經討論過口說、聽力、寫作,那發音呢?

  • Well, of course you want other people to understand you,

    我們當然希望別人能理解我們,

  • you want your accent to be good enough so that other people can understand you,

    希望口音能至少讓人聽得懂我們說的內容,

  • but how can you improve your accent?

    但該如和改善發音呢?

  • Well, you have to speak.

    這個嘛,得開口。

  • You have to practice speaking.

    你得練習開口。

  • So, everything goes back to speaking.

    一切都歸結到口說上。

  • Speaking is that key point to help you improve your pronunciation, improve your listening skills, improve your vocabulary and everything.

    口說是幫助你提升發音、聽力、詞彙量等等的關鍵。

  • What about reading?

    那閱讀呢?

  • When you're reading, it's a great way to increase your vocabulary and feel more comfortable with natural sentence structure,

    閱讀是增加詞彙量和熟悉句子結構的好方法,

  • but with reading you can take your time.

    但閱讀時,你可以慢慢來。

  • If you're reading a medical article for your studies or you're reading a business email,

    如果你正為研究而閱讀醫學文獻,或正在看商務郵件,

  • or maybe you're reading one of the books that I recommended in last week's video,

    或正在讀我上週影片中推薦的書,

  • you can take your time and review and go over the vocabulary.

    你可以花時間重看並複習詞彙。

  • With speaking, someone else is standing right there, waiting for you to create a sentence, so it's more urgent to improve your speaking.

    但說話時,別人就站在那等著你回話,所以提升口語能力的急迫性更高。

  • I hope that I've convinced you that speaking and listening are the most important skills in English.

    希望我已經說服你口語和聽力是英語中最重要的兩項技能。

  • So now you might have a question: Vanessa, how do I get started?

    現在你可能有個問題「那麼 Vanessa,我該如何開始呢?」

  • I believe that speaking is the most important skill, so what do I do now?

    「我相信口說是最重要的技能,那現在該做什麼?」

  • Well, I have some good news.

    我有個好消息。

  • This is the Speak English with Vanessa YouTube channel, so the goal of this whole channel is to help you improve your speaking skills.

    這個頻道的目標就是幫助你提高口語技巧。

  • I want to know which English skill do you think is the most important,

    你認為英語中哪個部分最重要?
