基礎數量詞

There are many amazing non-native English speakers on YouTube.

YouTube 上有很多非英語母語人士，他們的英語都非常棒。

過去進行式

When I was watching their videos, my jaw was literally on the floor.

在觀看他們的視頻時，我的下巴都快掉到地上了。

未來簡單式

It's been a long time since I've recorded a video, and I figured this time I'll just do it on my computer.

我已經很久沒有錄製視頻了，我想這次就在電腦上錄製吧。

Hey guys, I've been told that these make me look professorial, so it's the right wig to wear.

嘿，夥計們，有人告訴我，這頂假髮讓我看起來很有教授範兒，所以戴這頂假髮最合適不過了。

是以，這讓我非常認真地思考。

How are they able to reach to that level?

And many of us have been learning English for like over a decade.

我們中的許多人已經學了十多年英語了。

So a long time ago, I studied over 10 YouTubers just like these two that I just showed you, trying to figure out what they actually share in common, hoping that if we can do the same, maybe we can also reach to that level.

是以，很久以前，我研究了 10 多位和我剛才展示的這兩位一樣的 YouTuber，試圖找出他們的共同點，希望如果我們也能這樣做，也許我們也能達到那個水準。

Well, the number one common trait is material selection.

那麼，首要的共同特徵就是材料選擇。

They do actually vary a bit from person to person.

實際上，每個人的情況都不盡相同。

I became very passionate about studying spirituality and philosophy and started devouring thought-provoking books and literature.

我開始熱衷於研究精神和哲學，並開始閱讀發人深省的書籍和文學作品。

Some are into YouTube videos, some like watching American TV shows.

有些人喜歡 YouTube 視頻，有些人喜歡看美劇。

I just watch a lot of TV and movies in English.

我只是看了很多英語電視和電影。

Some learned English before the internet became a thing.

有些人在互聯網出現之前就學會了英語。

Newsweek or something like that, like a magazine from America or maybe from another English-speaking country.

新聞週刊》或類似的雜誌，比如美國或其他英語國家的雜誌。

But with all this being said, they do share something in common.

儘管如此，它們還是有一些共同點。

All of these materials that they selected, they suit their personal interests and needs.

他們選擇的所有這些材料都符合他們的個人興趣和需求。

Vicky, for example, enjoys philosophical and spiritual books.

例如，維姬喜歡哲學和精神類書籍。

Stacey, Maria, Carla, they all mentioned they enjoy watching American TV shows.

斯泰西、瑪麗亞、卡拉，她們都提到自己喜歡看美劇。

Judy, on the other hand, enjoys watching YouTube videos.

是以，他們都熱愛自己消費的東西。

And all of these materials actually cater for native speakers so that they are authentic.

所有這些教材實際上都是為母語使用者編寫的，是以是真實的。

They are not textbook materials made for second language learners.

它們不是為第二語言學習者編寫的教科書材料。

And some of them emphasize the importance of comprehensibility.

其中一些人強調了可理解性的重要性。

You don't have to understand the entire thing.

If you're just reading and you don't know one word, it doesn't really matter.

如果你只是在閱讀，一個字也不認識，那也沒有關係。

Common trait number two is a sufficient amount of input.

Stacey, for example, according to her, watched pretty much all Disney movies, read a lot of children's books, the whole series of Twilight, Harry Potter, and tons of English novels.

比如斯泰西，據她說，她幾乎看了所有的迪斯尼電影，讀了很多兒童讀物、《暮光之城》全系列、《哈利-波特》以及大量的英文小說。

At first, it was watching lots of American TV shows and just nonstop.

一開始，我不停地看很多美劇。

Maria, she started to watch TV in English from the age of 13.

瑪麗亞從 13 歲起就開始用英語看電視。

I was watching about like three to four hours every single day in English.

我每天都要看三四個小時的英語節目。

So they've all received a tremendous amount of English input.

是以，他們都接受了大量的英語教育。

Common trait number three, they all prioritize input.

共同特徵之三，他們都優先考慮投入。

They all emphasize the importance of input instead of output.

它們都強調投入而不是產出的重要性。

YK, for example, suggests that you should practice speaking when you're familiar with the content.

例如，YK 建議您在熟悉內容後再練習口語。

Judy actually said something that's very similar.

After watching one episode or one video, try to explain it to yourself in English by your own words what you have just watched.

看完一集或一段視頻後，試著用自己的話用英語向自己解釋剛才觀看的內容。

And a huge chunk of their videos are focused on input instead of output, with only one exception, Kala.

他們的大部分視頻都側重於輸入而非輸出，只有卡拉是個例外。

In her video, Half-Fed, she focuses on talking about how she benefited from chatting with an English boy named Adam.

在她的視頻《Half-Fed》中，她重點講述了自己如何從與一個名叫亞當的英國男孩的哈拉中獲益。

I talk very, very, very frequently, almost every day at some point, like three, four, five hours of Skype straight.

我非常、非常、非常頻繁地哈拉，幾乎每天都會聊幾句，比如連續用 Skype 聊三、四、五個小時。

And that's where I started to talk without even knowing what I was going to say and not preparing my thoughts and just talking, you know, just like this without having to translate what I was going to say.

這就是我開始說話的地方，我甚至不知道自己要說什麼，也不準備我的想法，就這樣說話，你知道，就像這樣，不用翻譯我要說的話。

但他們的哈拉內容其實是一致的。

It's something that they do very frequently.

So I would like to argue her success actually could be due to the amount of input that Adam provided to her.

所以我想說，她的成功實際上可能是因為亞當為她提供了大量的意見。

So while chatting with Adam, she actually got to hear how native speakers speak English in an authentic way.

是以，在與亞當哈拉時，她真正聽到了以英語為母語的人是如何說道地英語的。

So half of her success probably comes from this amount of input that she gets from Adam.

是以，她成功的一半可能來自於亞當給她提供的大量資訊。

So all of this that is mentioned align with Stephen Krashen's comprehensible input hypothesis very well, which basically states language acquisition does not come from output.

是以，所有這些都與斯蒂芬-克拉申（Stephen Krashen）的 "可理解輸入假說"（comprehensible input hypothesis）不謀而合。

So you can't speak all the way to fluency.

所以，你不可能一直說得很流利。

Language acquisition actually comes from input.

Stacy actually has a perfect story to illustrate this point.

斯泰西其實有一個完美的故事來說明這一點。

She acquired a lot of vocabularies that weren't even taught at school by reading picture books.

通過閱讀圖畫書，她掌握了很多學校甚至沒有教過的詞彙。

Snow White or Peter Pan, Little Mermaid and Lion King.

白雪公主》或《彼得-潘》、《小美人魚》和《獅子王》。

I watched all of those first in English and then in Russian.

我先看了英語版，然後又看了俄語版。

Many people ask me, Stacy, how did you watch these cartoons?

很多人問我，斯泰西，你是怎麼看這些卡通片的？

You didn't even speak English then and how did you understand it all?

你當時連英語都不會說，又怎麼能聽懂呢？

Even though I didn't know lots of those words, I kind of memorized them in a way.

儘管我不認識很多單詞，但在某種程度上我還是記住了它們。

I can't really say how, but when I went to school and then learned those words there,

我也說不上來是怎麼做到的，但我上學的時候，就在那裡學會了這些單詞、

不知為什麼，我事先就認識他們。

If you go over some new vocabulary and I just go,

如果你複習了一些新詞彙，而我只是去、

I know these words and I know where I learned them, but they were just in my head already, like a built-in vocabulary.

我知道這些單詞，也知道是從哪裡學來的，但它們就在我的腦海裡，就像一個固有的詞彙。

However, for input to work, it needs to follow the following principles.

不過，輸入要發揮作用，需要遵循以下原則。

It's gotta be authentic because garbage in, garbage out.

一定要真實，因為垃圾進，垃圾出。

If you consume and study textbook, you're going to sound like a textbook because that's all you know.

如果你閱讀和學習教科書，你的聲音就會像教科書一樣，因為你只知道這些。

But if you pick up the language by watching American TV shows, reading novels that's written for native speakers, you're also going to pick up the way that they use the language.

但是，如果你通過觀看美劇、閱讀為母語人士撰寫的小說來學習語言，你也會學習到他們使用語言的方式。

You're going to sound more like them, native-like or authentic or whatever you would like to call it.

你的聲音會更像他們，像本地人或道地的本地人，或者隨便你怎麼稱呼。

Comprehensible is important because if it's not comprehensible, it's just going to be a memorizing process.

易懂很重要，因為如果不易懂，就只能是死記硬背。

You know this word and you know what it means.

你知道這個詞，也知道它的含義。

But if it's a comprehensible, very likely the word, the structure will be acquired through the context.

但是，如果是一個可以理解的詞，那麼這個詞的結構很可能是通過上下文獲得的。

So you will know how a word or a structure is actually used in what context.

這樣，您就會知道一個詞或一個結構在什麼語境中實際是如何使用的。

So in the future where you actually need to use this word or structure, you know how to use it because that's how you learn it.

這樣，在將來真正需要使用這個單詞或結構時，你就知道如何使用它了，因為你就是這樣學習的。

Because if you do, you want to come back for more and more.

因為如果你這樣做了，你就會越來越想回來。

And we all know that when it comes to second language acquisition, consistency is key.

我們都知道，在學習第二語言時，連貫性是關鍵。

If you don't love what you do, you're not going to come back for more.

如果你不熱愛你的工作，你就不會回來做更多。

And there will be no way you will improve if you don't do it, right?

如果不這樣做，你就不可能進步，對嗎？

So intriguing ensures you'll want to come back for more and more.

如此引人入勝，確保您會流連忘返。

You are willing to learn out of pure joy.

你們願意學習，純粹是出於喜悅。

You learn not because you have to or you're aware beforehand of the external advantages you'll get out of it, but mostly because you love it so much.

你學習不是因為你不得不學，也不是因為你事先意識到你會從中獲得外在的好處，而主要是因為你太喜歡它了。

Because with it, you can savor the life to the fullest.

因為有了它，你才能盡情品味生活。
