Reading a grammar book and reading an English book, it's not going to help you speak because speaking is a completely different side of the brain.

讀文法書和讀英語書對你的口語沒有任何幫助，因為口語是大腦完全不同的一面。

But if you begin to read short things like articles out loud, you can really try to focus on improving your pronunciation.

但是，如果你開始大聲朗讀文章等短文，你就可以真正努力集中精力改善你的發音。

所以，就像他輕輕地說的那樣，假裝你真的要對某人發表演講，練習一下你的發音。

Get it crystal clear, as people like to say.

就像人們喜歡說的那樣，要清晰明瞭。

So, reading not only improves your vocabulary, but it'll improve your pronunciation.

是以，閱讀不僅能提高你的詞彙量，還能改善你的發音。

So, the cool thing or the terrible thing about reading is depending on the level and the kind of book or article you're reading, you're going to come across some vocabulary that you're not going to know.

是以，閱讀的好處或壞處在於，根據你閱讀的水準和書籍或文章的種類，你會遇到一些你不知道的詞彙。

The context means the other words around it.

Just look at the other words around it and go, oh, do you know what?

看看周圍的其他詞，然後說，哦，你知道嗎？

I think this means that Kyle's mom's a bad person because of the words around the sentence.

Another really fun thing in English grammar vocabulary are things called prefixes or singular a prefix.

英語語法詞彙中另一個非常有趣的東西叫做前綴或單數前綴。

A prefix are words that, at the beginning of it, has a word, let's say, bio, so biology, biosphere, biography.

前綴是指單詞的開頭有一個單詞，比方說，bio，所以是 biology（生物學）、biosphere（生物圈）、biography（生物）。

Anything in English that has a prefix of bio means earth or living, so biology is the study of living things.

在英語中，任何以 bio 為前綴的詞都有地球或生物的意思，是以生物學就是研究生物的學科。

If you can get some nice prefixes under your belt, it's going to help you improve your vocabulary.

如果你能掌握一些好的前綴，這將有助於提高你的詞彙量。

So, when you come across a new word like aqua, aqueduct, aqua, aqua means water, and then you can kind of grab a dictionary, go on your phone or whatever you're using as a dictionary these days and look at the word.

所以，當你遇到一個新詞，比如 aqua、aqueduct、aqua，aqua 的意思是水，然後你就可以拿起字典，打開手機或其他你現在用的字典，看看這個詞。

The problem is if you're reading something that has a lot of unknown words, unfortunately you're just going to probably lose concentration and give up.

問題是，如果你閱讀的內容中有很多不認識的單詞，很不幸，你很可能會失去注意力而放棄。

So, again, you want to find something that is interesting, here, and also something that suits your level.

所以，在這裡，你還是要找到有趣的東西，同時也要找到適合你水準的東西。

Okay, another cool, amazing thing about reading books and getting vocabulary is you can learn slang.

好了，關於閱讀書籍和掌握詞彙的另一件很酷、很神奇的事情是，你可以學習俚語。

Now, I kind of like slang a lot, it's kind of my thing that I like to teach you, and I've got loads of slang lessons up here on the wonderful internet, here.

現在，我非常喜歡俚語，這也是我喜歡教你們的東西，我在美妙的互聯網上有大量的俚語課程，就在這裡。

But reading books, you can learn not only slang, but a lot of...

但是，通過閱讀書籍，你不僅可以學到俚語，還可以學到很多...

Jargon means language or words specifically that are made or matched with a certain field.

行話是指專門用於或與某一領域相匹配的語言或詞語。

So, for example, if you are a computer programmer, the jargon or the words that you know are going to be completely different from the words that I know.

是以，舉例來說，如果你是一名計算機程序員，你所知道的行話或單詞就會與我所知道的完全不同。

So, you guys, even though English may not be your first language, you guys are going to know all these crazy words, and I'm going to be like, I don't know what that word means because it's not in my field.

所以，儘管英語可能不是你們的母語，但你們會知道所有這些瘋狂的詞，而我會說，我不知道那個詞是什麼意思，因為它不屬於我的領域。

I don't care what your job is, it doesn't matter.

我不在乎你的工作是什麼，這並不重要。

Each job has specific jargon associated with them.

每項工作都有與之相關的特定術語。

So, think of your job and what words are very specific to what you do.

所以，想想你的工作，哪些詞與你的工作非常相關。

As an English teacher, I got all of them, but that doesn't mean I know all of the words, ever.

作為一名英語老師，我知道所有的單詞，但這並不意味著我知道所有的單詞，永遠不會。

俚語，還是那句話，讀一本書。
