If you've been learning English for a long time, but you still feel stuck and you feel like your English is not improving, this video is for you.

如果你已經學了很長時間的英語，但仍然感到很吃力，感覺自己的英語水平沒有提高，那麼這部影片就是為你準備的。

I'm the founder of English at The Ready, and I've helped millions of people online improve their English.

我是 English at The Ready 的創始人，我已經在網上幫助數百萬人提高了英語水平。

Now, if you feel stuck, if you feel like your English is not improving, you need to understand that there's a good chance you're not actually stuck.

現在，如果你覺得被卡住了，如果你覺得你的英語沒有進步，你需要明白，你很有可能並沒有真正被卡住。

Instead, what's really happening is your time frame has shifted.

相反，真正的情況是你的時間框架發生了變化。

You see, when you first started learning English, you measured things in days and weeks.

你看，當你剛開始學習英語時，你以天和周來衡量事情的。

For example, today I'm going to learn the parts of speech.

Tomorrow I'm going to learn conjugations.

The next day I'm going to learn phrasal verbs on a specific topic.

第二天，我要學習特定主題的短語動詞。

Now, as you reach the B1, B2, and C1 levels, your time frame expands.

現在，當你達到 B1、B2 和 C1 級時，你的時間範圍就會擴大。

你需要以月和年為組織、部門來考慮。

The more advanced you get, the slower your progress becomes.

And shifting this time frame makes your progress feel slower, but it's not.

改變這個時間框架會讓你感覺進度變慢，其實不然。

Maybe you've heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

也許你聽說過鄧寧-克魯格效應。

The more you learn, the more aware you are of your mistakes.

學得越多，就越能意識到自己的錯誤。

When you're at the complete beginner stage, improvement feels fast.

當你處於完全的初學者階段時，你會感覺進步很快。

You feel like you're improving very quickly.

But as you learn more about the language, and you begin to study it in more depth, you realize you don't actually know as much as you thought.

但是，隨著你對這門語言的瞭解越來越多，你開始更深入地學習這門語言，你會發現自己實際上並沒有想象中那麼瞭解這門語言。

You start to notice small details that you didn't before.

你開始注意到以前沒有注意到的小細節。

And suddenly, you think your English is bad.

突然間，你覺得自己的英語很糟糕。

You might even feel like you're not able to improve your English.

你甚至會覺得自己無法提高英語水平。

So I want you to think of the big picture.

所以，我希望你們從大局出發。

You need to accept that fluency is a journey, and it's a long-term journey.

你必須承認，流利是一個過程，而且是一個長期的過程。

I like to divide things into short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals.

我喜歡把事情分為短期、中期和長期目標。

A short-term goal might be learning 10 words this week.

短期目標可能是本週學會 10 個單詞。

Learning 10 new words on a specific topic.

學習有關特定主題的 10 個新單詞。

A mid-term goal might be three months or six months in the future.

中期目標可能是未來三個月或六個月。

For example, you might want to pass the IELTS, or you might want to pass a job interview in English in the next three months.

例如，你可能希望通過雅思考試，或者希望在未來三個月內通過用英語進行的求職面試。

And a longer-term goal would be fluency, which as I've talked about a lot on this channel, is simply your ability to express yourself without letting language be a barrier.

而更長遠的目標則是流利，正如我在本頻道多次談到的那樣，流利只是一種表達能力，而不會讓語言成為障礙。

So your long-term goal might be to feel the same way in English as you do in your native language.

你的長期目標可能是在英語中獲得與母語相同的感覺。

You'll probably always feel a bit more confident in your native language.

使用母語可能會讓你更有自信。

But if you can get your English close to that point, I would definitely consider you fluent.

但是，如果你的英語能接近這個水準，我肯定會認為你是流利的。

So we have short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals.

我們有短期、中期和長期目標。

Think back to where you were six months ago.

Think back to where you were 12 months ago, two years ago with your English.

回想一下 12 個月前、兩年前你的英語水平。

Consider the progress you've made over that longer period of time.

考慮一下你在較長時間內取得的進步。

You can see that feeling stuck is actually a sign you've advanced to a higher stage of learning.

你會發現，感覺被卡住其實是你已經進入更高學習階段的標誌。

If you're watching this and you think, great, Michael, I still feel stuck.

如果你看完之後覺得，太棒了，邁克爾，我還是覺得卡住了。

I've been stuck for the last six months, for the last year.

過去的六個月，過去的一年，我一直被困在這裡。

你需要停下來問問自己，為什麼？

Is what you've been doing really working?

你一直在做的事情真的有效嗎？

Have you been learning things in a way that actually leads to growth?

你是否一直在以一種能真正帶來成長的方式學習知識？

Something you want to avoid at all costs.

你要不惜一切代價避免的東西。

And lastly, are you focusing on the right skills for your current level?

最後，你是否專注於適合你當前水準的技能？

Generally, you should always aim to challenge yourself.

一般來說，你應該始終以挑戰自我為目標。

If learning English is easy for you, you're doing something wrong.

如果學習英語對你來說很容易，那你就做錯了。

The only way to improve in life is to challenge yourself.

人生進步的唯一途徑就是挑戰自我。

我們有一種說法，沒有痛苦，就沒有收穫。

Now, I'm not saying learning English has to be painful, but I am saying that you need to challenge yourself.

現在，我不是說學習英語一定要痛苦，但我是說你需要挑戰自己。

You need to put yourself in situations that are uncomfortable because this is how you grow.

你需要讓自己處於不舒服的環境中，因為這是你成長的方式。

Now, I also want you to think about your problems.

現在，我也希望你們思考一下自己的問題。

In your opinion, what is the biggest problem you're facing in English?

在你看來，英語學習中面臨的最大問題是什麼？

Pause this video, write that down, and think about what's actually stopping you from becoming fluent and from making progress.

暫停影片，寫下來，想想究竟是什麼阻礙了你變得流利和取得進步。

A lot of students say they can understand English, but they can't speak.

很多學生說他們能聽懂英語，但不會說。

To train that skill set because speaking and listening are two different skills.

要訓練這種技能，因為說和聽是兩種不同的技能。

If you can understand English, but you can't speak, you need to speak more.

如果你能聽懂英語，但不會說，那就需要多說。

If you can speak, but you can't understand, you need to listen more.

如果你能說，但聽不懂，那就需要多聽。

You need to expose yourself to different accents on TV, in movies, and on podcasts.

你需要多接觸電視、電影和播客中的不同口音。

I know a lot of you guys comment down below that you can understand my English, but you can't understand other English speakers.

我知道你們很多人在下面評論說，你們能聽懂我的英語，但你們聽不懂其他講英語的人說的話。

Now, first of all, I'm very flattered by that, but I will tell you, you need to listen to other English speakers because not everybody speaks as clearly or as slowly as I do in my lessons.

首先，我對此感到受寵若驚，但我要告訴你，你需要多聽其他講英語的人說話，因為不是每個人都能像我在課上說得那麼清楚或那麼慢。

You need to expose yourself to different ways of speaking, different accents, differences in speed, because some people speak more quickly and some people speak more slowly.

你需要接觸不同的說話方式、不同的口音、不同的語速，因為有些人說話比較快，有些人說話比較慢。

Again, if you struggle with a Scottish accent, watch a TV show which features a Scottish actor.

同樣，如果你對蘇格蘭口音感到吃力，可以觀看有蘇格蘭演員出演的電視節目。

If you struggle with the Australian accent, watch Australian news.

如果你很難聽懂澳洲口音，那就看看澳洲新聞吧。

You can find lots of different Australian news channels here on YouTube.

你可以在 YouTube 上找到許多不同的澳洲新聞頻道。

Another problem that students face is they can't improve their accent or pronunciation.

學生面臨的另一個問題是他們無法改善自己的口音或發音。

If that's you, you need to shadow native speakers.

如果你是這樣的人，你就需要跟著母語人士學習。

There are lots of videos out there on shadowing, but the thing is, when you watch somebody speak, when you're watching their mouth, you need to pay extra attention to how they're moving their mouth, how they're moving their lips, how they're forming the sounds, how their jaw moves.

有很多關於跟讀法的影片，但問題是，當你看別人說話時，當你觀察他們的嘴時，你需要格外注意他們是如何動嘴的，他們是如何動嘴脣的，他們是如何發聲的，他們的下巴是如何移動的。

Because this plays a huge role in how we form sounds, and it has a significant impact on our accent.

因為這對我們如何發聲起著巨大的作用，對我們的口音也有重要影響。

So watch how native speakers' mouths move and imitate those movements.

要觀察母語使用者的嘴部動作，並模仿這些動作。

Another common problem is that you might lack confidence when you speak English.

另一個常見問題是，你在說英語時可能缺乏自信。

I have several videos on that topic on this channel, but long story short, the only way to overcome this is, again, to get out of your comfort zone, to put yourself in difficult situations, and speak some more.

我在這個頻道上有幾個關於這個主題的影片，但長話短說，克服這個問題的唯一辦法還是要走出自己的舒適區，讓自己處於困難的境地，多說一些話。

Now, the truth is, at some level, you probably know what you should be doing.

事實上，在某種程度上，你可能知道自己應該做什麼。

You probably know that you need to fix them, and you also know that you're not doing that.

你可能知道你需要解決這些問題，但你也知道你並沒有這樣做。

It's so easy to push things off to later, but at the end of the day, the best time to improve your English is now.

把事情往後推很容易，但歸根結底，提高英語水平的最佳時機就是現在。
