Like, you can't help but translate everything word by word?

比如，你會情不自禁地逐字逐句翻譯所有內容？

Oh totally, it's so common.

哦，完全正確，這太常見了。

But here's the good news, your brain can actually learn to think in English naturally.

但好消息是，你的大腦其實可以自然而然地學會用英語思考。

We call it building an English brain.

我們稱之為 "構建英語大腦"。

Yes, and just like working out grows muscles, using the right methods helps your brain grow new connections for English.

是的，就像鍛鍊能長肌肉一樣，使用正確的方法能幫助你的大腦建立新的英語聯繫。

It's all about training.

這一切都與訓練有關。

And today, we're sharing 5 tips to help you build your English brain.

今天，我們將分享 5 個小竅門，幫助您構建自己的英語大腦。

And I promise, these aren't the same old tips you've heard before.

我保證，這些技巧不是你以前聽過的老一套。

They're fun and super practical.

它們既有趣又超級實用。

That's right.

這就對了。

Oh, and we've also put together a free PDF with the 50 most common expressions native English speakers use every day.

此外，我們還為您準備了一份免費的 PDF 文件，其中包含以英語為母語的人每天最常用的 50 種表達方式。

By the end of this episode, you'll have some great tools to think in English without translating.

本集結束時，您將掌握一些不用翻譯就能用英語思考的好工具。

Let's jump in.

讓我們跳進去。

Create Thought Chains Alright, let's dive into our first tip, creating thought chains.

創建思維鏈 好了，讓我們進入第一個技巧--創建思維鏈。

This one is super useful, but you might be wondering, what exactly is a thought chain?

這一條超級有用，但你可能想知道，思維鏈到底是什麼？

Good question.

問得好。

So, a thought chain is when you start with one word, and then let your mind naturally flow to the next word.

是以，思維鏈就是從一個詞開始，然後讓思維自然地流向下一個詞。

For example, if I start with the word coffee, my mind might jump to Starbucks, then work, then deadlines, and finally weekend plans.

例如，如果我從 "咖啡 "這個詞開始，我的思維可能會跳到星巴克，然後是工作，然後是截止日期，最後是週末計劃。

It's like a web of ideas all connected by one starting point.

這就像一張創意之網，所有創意都由一個起點連接起來。

Oh, I see.

哦，我明白了。

So, it's not about thinking too hard or trying to be perfect in English.

所以，不要想得太多，也不要試圖讓自己的英語完美無缺。

It's just about letting your brain make those natural connections.

這只是讓你的大腦建立自然的聯繫。

Right?

對不對？

Exactly.

沒錯。

The more you practice this, the easier it becomes to think in English.

練習得越多，用英語思考就越容易。

It's like when native speakers talk, they don't stop to translate every word, they just jump from one thought to the next.

就像母語人士說話時，他們不會停下來翻譯每一個單詞，而是從一個想法跳到下一個想法。

That makes sense.

這就說得通了。

But, let's be real, it's not always easy, especially at the beginning.

但實事求是地說，這並不總是那麼容易，尤其是在開始的時候。

It can be hard to get your thoughts flowing in English, right?

用英語暢所欲言可能很難，對嗎？

Oh, for sure.

哦，當然。

I mean, it's difficult at first because you're still training your brain to think in English.

我的意思是，一開始很難，因為你還在訓練大腦用英語思考。

But here's the trick, don't worry about being perfect or getting stuck.

但這裡有一個訣竅，那就是不要擔心自己不夠完美或卡殼。

Start by writing down one word, then think of as many related words as you can.

先寫下一個詞，然後儘可能多地想相關的詞。

For example, if you write down weather, you might come up with rain, clouds, sunny, temperature, and so on.

例如，如果你寫下天氣，你可能會想到雨、雲、晴、溫度等。

Yeah, and if you're feeling stuck, just write it down.

是的，如果你感到困惑，就把它寫下來。

Even if you're not holding a notebook, you can quickly write your thought chain in the comments section of our videos.

即使你沒有筆記本，也可以在我們視頻的評論區快速寫下你的思維鏈。

It's a cool way to practice without feeling pressure.

這是一種很酷的練習方式，沒有壓力。

That's a great idea.

這是個好主意。

Plus, you might be surprised by how many words you can connect once you start.

此外，一旦開始學習，您可能會驚訝地發現自己竟然能連接這麼多單詞。

It's like a mental workout for your brain.

這就像是對大腦的智力鍛鍊。

And over time, this will help you think in English faster and more naturally.

隨著時間的推移，這將幫助你更快、更自然地用英語思考。

Right, and the best part?

沒錯，最棒的是什麼？

It's fun!

這很有趣！

You get to see your own creativity at work as your mind jumps from one idea to the next.

當你的思維從一個想法跳躍到下一個想法時，你會看到自己的創造力在發揮作用。

So, if you're listening, here's your challenge.

所以，如果你在聽，這就是你的挑戰。

Start with the word food and create your own thought chain.

從 "食物 "一詞開始，創建自己的思維鏈。

Share it with us in the comments.

請在評論中與我們分享。

We can't wait to see what you come up with. So, remember, the goal is to let your thoughts flow without overthinking.

我們迫不及待地想看到你的創意。 是以，請記住，我們的目標是讓您的想法暢所欲言，而不是過度思考。

The more you practice, the easier it gets.

This is all about getting your brain to automatically respond in English without getting stuck.

這就是要讓你的大腦自動用英語做出反應，而不會卡殼。

Oh, I love this one.

哦，我喜歡這個。

Do you ever find yourself in a conversation and, suddenly, you just can't think of anything to say?

你是否曾經發現自己在談話中突然想不起來要說什麼？

You know, those moments when all you can say is, yeah, sure, or I don't know.

你知道，那些你只能說 "是的，當然，或者我不知道 "的時刻。

I've definitely been there.

我肯定經歷過。

It's frustrating, right?

這很令人沮喪，對嗎？

But here's the cool part.

但最酷的是

You can train your brain to automatically respond with useful phrases, like, that's interesting, or, let me think about it, without even thinking twice.

你可以訓練自己的大腦自動用有用的短語做出反應，比如 "這很有趣"，或者 "讓我考慮一下"，而無需多想。

Exactly.

沒錯。

By memorizing these default responses, your brain gets used to using them, and it starts to feel natural.

記住這些默認反應後，你的大腦就會習慣使用它們，並開始感覺自然。

Over time, it's like you're building muscle memory for your English brain.

隨著時間的推移，你就像在為你的英語大腦建立肌肉記憶。

Yeah, it's like when you're driving and you don't have to think about every move you make.

Your brain just knows what to do.

你的大腦知道該怎麼做。

Same with English.

英語也一樣。

And the best part is that native speakers actually use these phrases all the time.

最棒的是，以英語為母語的人其實一直在使用這些短語。

Like, if someone says something surprising, you can just respond with, that's interesting.

比如，如果有人說了一些令人驚訝的話，你可以直接回應說 "這很有趣"。

Or, if you don't understand something, what do you mean by that?

或者，如果你不明白什麼，你是什麼意思？

They're simple, but super effective. And once those short responses are automatic, you can start memorizing longer sentence structures, like, can you give me a little more information?

它們很簡單，但超級有效。 一旦這些簡短的回答成為自動化的，你就可以開始記憶更長的句子結構，比如，你能給我更多的資訊嗎？

Or, I'll have to check my schedule first.

或者，我得先看看我的日程安排。

The more you practice, the quicker your brain will react.

練習得越多，大腦反應就越快。

And here's a little bonus for you guys.

這裡還有一個小獎勵送給你們。

We've actually made a free PDF with the top 50 default responses that native speakers use every day.

This one is super fun and can really help you level up your English.

這個遊戲超級有趣，能真正幫助你提高英語水平。

Oh, this is one of my favorites.

哦，這是我的最愛之一。

So, when we talk in metaphors or analogies, we're not just describing things directly.

We're using comparisons to help explain something in a more creative, interesting way.

我們用比較來幫助以更有創意、更有趣的方式解釋某些事情。

Exactly.

沒錯。

For example, instead of just saying, it's hot, you can say, it feels like I'm in a sauna.

例如，不要只說 "好熱"，你可以說 "感覺像在桑拿房裡"。

It paints a much clearer picture, right?

這樣就更清楚了，不是嗎？

And when you do this, you're actually training your brain to think in bigger ideas, not just individual words.

當你這樣做的時候，實際上是在訓練你的大腦以更大的想法來思考，而不僅僅是單個的詞語。

Oh, I get it.

哦，我明白了。

It's like when you say, I'm busy.

就像你說，我很忙。

Instead of just that, you could say, I'm juggling ten things at once.

你可以說，我正在同時處理十件事情，而不是僅僅這樣。

That not only tells someone you're busy, but it gives them a whole picture of what your day feels like.

這不僅能告訴別人你很忙，還能讓他們全面瞭解你一天的感受。

Exactly.

沒錯。

And that's how native speakers think.

這就是母語使用者的思維方式。

They don't just focus on words.

他們不僅僅關注文字。

They focus on ideas and concepts.

他們注重思想和概念。

By practicing metaphors, you're expanding your vocabulary and your imagination.

試著用比喻來描述你一天中的某件事情。

發揮創意。

Yep.

The more you do it, the more natural it will become.

做得越多，就越自然。

Exactly.

就好像你在欺騙自己的大腦切換到英語模式。

If you want to keep that habit going, try writing or saying affirmations in English, too.

如果你想保持這種習慣，也可以嘗試用英語寫或說肯定句。

Something like, I can improve my English every day, can really help strengthen that connection.

And this method works even for small moments.

這種方法甚至對微小的瞬間也有效。

比方說，你因為完成了一個項目而感到高興。

Instead of just saying, I'm happy, you could say, I feel so proud because I just finished my work.

與其說 "我很高興"，不如說 "我感到非常自豪，因為我剛剛完成了我的工作"。

It's a simple switch, but it helps.

Absolutely.

當然。

So next time you're feeling something strong, whether it's joy, stress, or frustration, try to describe it in English.
