  • I think you already know that if you want to improve your English speaking skills, you have to practice, right?

    我想你已經知道,如果要增進英文口說能力就必須常常練習口說,對吧?

  • You have to speak.

    你要說英文。

  • Studying grammar will never improve your speaking.

    光讀文法絕對無法使你的口說進步。

  • Listening to English alone will never improve your speaking.

    只練英文聽力也同樣無法進步。

  • You have to actually speak.

    你必須真的說出來。

  • But what if you don't have someone to talk to in English?

    但如果你沒有一個可以練習說英文的對象怎麼辦?

  • How can you practice then?

    你又該怎麼練習呢?

  • Well, there's a technique that allows you to learn to speak English by yourself.

    這裡跟你分享一個小技巧,讓你就算自己一個人也可以練習說英文。

  • No speaking partner is required.

    不需要有練習口說的對象。

  • This technique can help improve many aspects of your spoken English:

    這個練習技巧可多方面改善你的口說能力,

  • your sentence structure, your grammar, your vocabulary,

    例如:句型結構、文法、用字等,

  • and most importantly, your ability to express your thoughts and ideas effectively.

    更重要的是,可以有效地表達出你的想法和意見。

  • So what is this technique?

    所以到底是什麼技巧呢?

  • Well, here's what it is...

    謎底揭曉...

  • Learning to speak English through imitation.

    用「模仿」的方式來學習說英文。

  • When I say imitation, I'm not talking about repeating after native speakers, using the exact same words to improve your pronunciation.

    我所謂的模仿,並不是要你將母語人士所說的話,一字不漏地重複一遍,藉此來加強你的發音。

  • I'm talking about something a little more advanced than that.

    我所謂的模仿是還要再更進階一些。

  • Here's how it works: you listen to a conversation, a story, or some kind of speech

    方法是這樣的:你先聽一段對話、故事或是任何演講,

  • and then try to deliver that speech in your own words.

    然後試著用你自己的話把剛剛所聽到的東西複述一遍。

  • Let's see this technique in action:

    來看看實際做法:

  • When I was a child...

    我小的時候...

  • When he was a child...

    他小的時候...

  • My parents liked to pretend, like many other parents...

    我的父母親和其他父母一樣,很喜歡假裝...

  • His parents liked to pretend, like many other parents...

    他的父母親和其他父母一樣,很喜歡假裝...

  • ... that Santa Claus would bring us presents at Christmas.

    ... 聖誕老人在聖誕節時真的會送我們禮物。

  • His parents liked to pretend that Santa Claus would bring them presents at Christmas.

    他爸媽喜歡假裝聖誕老人在聖誕節時真的會送他們禮物。

  • So when my siblings and I would wake up on Christmas morning...

    所以當我和我的兄弟姊妹在聖誕節那一天的早晨醒來時...

  • So when he and his siblings would wake up on Christmas morning...

    所以當他和他的兄弟姊妹在聖誕節那一天的早晨醒來時...

  • ... there'd be a bunch of presents, from supposedly Santa Claus, sitting in front of the fireplace.

    ... 壁爐前總會堆滿一堆據說是聖誕老人送的禮物。

  • ... there'd be a bunch of presents, from supposedly Santa Claus, sitting in front of the fireplace.

    ... 壁爐前總會堆滿一堆據說是聖誕老人送的禮物。

  • So that's how it works.

    這就是我所謂的「模仿」學習技巧。

  • But that's just one way to do it.

    不過這只是其中一個方式。

  • There're other ways too.

    你還有很多方式可以使用。

  • For example, instead of imitating very small portions of speech like phrases and short sentences,

    例如,與其模仿演講中的一小部分,像是片語或很短的句子,

  • you can imitate larger portions of speech.

    試著模仿比較長的一個段落。

  • So in this case, you wait until the speaker completes a thought or an idea,

    使用這個方式的時候,你等到講者講完一個段落或想法後,

  • then pause and try to express that idea yourself.

    暫停一下,再試著用自己的話去表達那個想法。

  • Another approach is to simply listen to the whole speech and then try to deliver that entire speech yourself.

    還有一個方式是,你聽完整個演講,再試著用自己的方式表達出整個演講。

  • So there are several ways to go about it, but what I recommend is to combine them all together,

    我們上面舉了好幾個練習的例子,但我最推薦的是,你綜合上述所有的練習方式下去學習,

  • and I call this approach easy-to-hard imitation.

    而我稱這個綜合學習法為「由簡入難的模仿」。

  • Easy-to-hard imitation is based on the concept of progressive training.

    「由簡入難的模仿」概念的本質就是漸進式的訓練。

  • The idea is that you start with something easy and then increase the difficulty of the activity, forcing yourself to get better.

    你先從簡單的開始,然後慢慢把難度往上加,迫使自己進步。

  • A number of studies have found this kind of training to be very effective.

    很多研究指出,這種訓練方式是非常有效的。

  • Here's how you can apply this concept: start by imitating small portions of speech first like phrases and short sentences,

    接下來告訴你如何應用這個概念:先從模仿演講中的一小部分,像是片語或很短的句子開始,

  • then move on to imitating larger portions of speech like long sentences or even groups of sentences,

    再去模仿演講中較長的段落,像是較長的句子或多個句子,

  • and finally, try to deliver the entire speech on your own.

    最後,試著用自己的方式將整段談話表達出來。

  • This technique offers many benefits.

    這種技巧可以帶來很多好處。

  • You get to listen and imitate correct English, which helps you learn to form sentences properly.

    你可以聽到並模仿出正確的英文,如此一來,可以幫助你講出正確的句子。

  • You get to learn idioms, expressions, and other speaking patterns that are used in day-to-day conversations.

    你還可以學到日常對話的用語、表達方式和說話的模式與邏輯。

  • You get to learn grammar.

    你也可以學到文法。

  • When you imitate other people, you're learning grammar through a process called implicit learning.

    模仿他人時,你其實也正藉由「內隱學習」的方式學文法。

  • This is the process where the learning happens without your awareness.

    「內隱學習」指的是你在不知不覺中學習。

  • This is how babies and children learn the grammar rules of their first language.

    嬰兒和小孩都是經由這種方式學習他們第一語言的文法。

  • When you imitate, you don't think about grammar.

    當你在模仿時,別去管什麼文法。

  • You're not trying to understand why the present perfect tense is used in this situation or in that situation.

    不用去追究為什麼這種或那種情況要用現在完成式。

  • Instead, you're focused on communicationon understanding and expressing ideas.

    你的重點應該放在溝通上 — 專注在理解和表達想法上。

  • You're still learning grammar but you're not aware that it's happening.

    在這過程中你仍然會學到文法,只是你沒發現而已。

  • This is one of the proper ways to learn grammar.

    這是其中一個學習文法的好方法。

  • OK, that concludes this video.

    好了,影片到這裡告一個段落。

  • To help you get started, I've put together a step-by-step tutorial on this technique.

    為了幫助你練習英文口說,我特別為你準備了一個教學講義,一步一步帶你練習。
