現在進行式

You're never going to become fluent in English if you keep making this mistake.

如果你總是犯這樣的錯誤，你永遠也不可能說一口流利的英語。

to 不定詞

You need to stop translating in your head from your own language into English.

你需要停止在腦海中把自己的語言翻譯成英語。

動名詞

You need to start thinking directly in English.

And that's why in today's video I want to talk to you about why this happens, why it's a bad thing to translate from your own language into English, and how you can start thinking directly in English.

是以，在今天的視頻中，我想跟大家談談為什麼會出現這種情況，為什麼從自己的語言翻譯成英語是件壞事，以及如何開始直接用英語思考。

Now before we start, let's talk about why this is actually a problem.

現在，在我們開始之前，讓我們來談談為什麼這實際上是一個問題。

Why shouldn't you translate from your own language into English?

為什麼不能將自己的語言翻譯成英語？

If you're like most students, you have translated, you have done this before.

如果你和大多數學生一樣，你已經翻譯過，你以前也做過。

You want to say something, you have an idea, you translate that idea into English, you look for the correct grammar, you look for the correct vocabulary, maybe even pronunciation, and then finally you say it.

你想說什麼，你有一個想法，你把這個想法翻譯成英語，你尋找正確的文法，你尋找正確的詞彙，甚至發音，最後你說出來。

這樣做的結果是會拖慢你的速度。

Because you should be able to speak just like that, right, without having to actually think about the mechanical side of the language.

因為你應該能像那樣說話，對吧，而不必真正考慮語言的機械方面。

You don't do this in your native language.

You don't even think about language when you're speaking your native language.

說母語時，你甚至不會考慮語言。

So why should it be any different in English?

那麼，為什麼在英語中會有不同呢？

And obviously there is the problem of, well, grammar in certain languages is completely different from grammar in English.

顯然，還有一個問題是，某些語言的文法與英語的文法完全不同。

Some words in other languages don't have a translation in English.

其他語言中的一些單詞在英語中沒有翻譯。

So yes, it's obviously going to slow you down if you translate, but in some cases it might not even be possible to translate from your own language into English.

所以是的，如果進行翻譯，速度顯然會變慢，但在某些情況下，甚至不可能將自己的語言翻譯成英語。

You need to think directly in English without worrying about the mechanics of the language.

您需要直接用英語思考，而不必擔心語言的機械性。

Now I want to talk to you about how you can actually do this.

現在，我想和你們談談如何才能真正做到這一點。

How do you make speaking English something natural?

Something that you don't need to think about?

It means you pretend to do something until eventually, after you do it a lot, you got it.

這意味著你要假裝去做某件事情，直到最後，當你做了很多次之後，你就成功了。

And what I want you to do is fake being a native speaker.

我要你做的就是假裝自己是母語使用者。

Now the reason why your native language is so natural to you is because your whole world when you grew up was in that language.

現在，你的母語之所以對你來說如此自然，是因為在你成長的過程中，你的整個世界都是在使用這種語言。

Your whole environment was in your native language.

你所處的整個環境都使用你的母語。

And when you learn a second language or a third language, which might be English or another language, suddenly you have a different environment.

而當你學習第二種語言或第三種語言，可能是英語或其他語言時，突然間你就有了一個不同的環境。

You still do things in your native language.

And when I say fake it till you make it, I mean pretend you're a native English speaker and live your life like a native English speaker would.

當我說 "假戲真做 "時，我的意思是假裝自己是一個以英語為母語的人，並像一個以英語為母語的人那樣生活。

Surround yourself with the English language.

Think about what a native English speaker would do in the morning when he or she wakes up.

想想以英語為母語的人早上起床後會做什麼。

Maybe they would watch YouTube as they brush their teeth in English.

也許他們會一邊用英語刷牙，一邊看 YouTube。

Maybe they would turn on the radio as they prepared breakfast.

也許他們在準備早餐時會打開收音機。

Everything in their life would be in English because that's their native language.

他們生活中的一切都是英語，因為英語是他們的母語。

And since they're exposed to the language, since they're surrounded by the language, it's natural to them.

因為他們接觸到了這種語言，因為他們被這種語言所包圍，這對他們來說很自然。

That is the key to becoming fluent in a language.

這是熟練掌握一門語言的關鍵。

If you don't do this, it will always just be a school subject.

如果不這樣做，它就永遠只是一門學校科目。

It will always be something that you have to study, that you have to think about.

這永遠是你必須研究和思考的問題。

所以，正如我所說的，假作真時真亦假。

Do the things that a native English speaker would do in their life.

做以英語為母語的人在生活中會做的事情。

If you do the same things a native English speaker does to learn the language, to live their life, then you can achieve the same results.

如果你能像以英語為母語的人那樣學習語言、生活，那麼你也能取得同樣的效果。

And I think a lot of students forget this.

我想很多學生都忘記了這一點。

They're too focused on conjugation tables.

They're too focused on all these academic things.

他們太專注於這些學術上的事情了。

And I think a big problem or a big part of this problem is the school system.

我認為，一個大問題或問題的一個重要部分是學校系統。

Because in school, when you learned English, you probably learned in a very unnatural way.

因為在學校裡，當你學習英語時，你可能是以一種非常不自然的方式學習的。

You probably divided your day into one hour of English.

你可能把一天的時間劃分為一個小時的英語課程。

And you sat down, you read a textbook, you did some exercises for that one hour.

在這一個小時裡，你坐下來，讀課本，做練習。

And then after the class was over, you switched into your own language.

下課後，你再換成自己的語言。

It's obvious why, but that method of compartmentalizing English or just blocking it off in a way won't help you become fluent.

原因顯而易見，但這種將英語分門別類或一味封鎖的方法並不能幫助你變得流利。

Because it doesn't allow the language into your whole life.

因為它不會讓語言融入你的整個生活。

If you're serious about becoming fluent, you should allow the English language to consume you.

如果你真的想說一口流利的英語，就應該讓英語吞噬你。

Obviously, some things you can only do in your native language.

顯然，有些事情只能用母語來做。

But the point here is that you need to pretend you're a native speaker.

但這裡的重點是，你需要假裝自己是母語使用者。

A student came to me recently and she loved cooking.

最近有個學生來找我，她很喜歡烹飪。

And I asked her, okay, what language do you read those recipes in?

我問她，好吧，你用什麼語言讀這些食譜？

And she read them in her native language.
