I have a question for you.

我想問你一個問題

How do you learn English with movies?

你是如何看電影學英文的？

When some people try to learn English with movies, they use subtitles.

有些人嘗試用觀看電影來學習英文時，他們會利用字幕

The problem is that when you're watching a movie with subtitles, you aren't practicing

問題是當你在看一部有著英文字幕的電影時，

your listening skills.

你並沒有在練習英文聽力

Instead, you're practicing your reading skills.

你反而是在練習閱讀

This is not what you want.

這可不是你要的

Listening is much more difficult than reading.

聽力比閱讀困難多了

So when you learn English, you should do more listening than reading.

當你在學英文時，應該多練習聽力而不是閱讀

This is why some people watch movies twice.

這也是為何有些人會重複看兩遍電影

They watch a movie with subtitles first, then they watch the same movie again without the

他們首先看一遍有字幕的版本，接著再重看一遍無字幕的版本

subtitles to practice listening.

來練習聽力

Now, this is an effective way to improve your listening, but I think it's really boring

雖然這是一個有效提升你的聽力的方法，但我覺得

to watch movies twice.

重複看兩遍電影這個方法超無聊的

So personally, I never use this approach.

所以我個人從不使用這個方法

It's not for me.

它不適合我

So today, I want to share with you a new approach.

今天我要跟你分享一個新方法

This approach is pretty effective in improving your listening and vocabulary.

它對於提升你的聽力和單字量非常有效

And with this approach, you don't have to watch movies twice.

藉由這個方法，你就不需要重複看兩遍電影了

Are you ready to learn about this approach?

準備好來學習這個方法了嗎?

Here's what it is: watching movies with "delayed" subtitles

是這樣的 : 觀看字幕「延遲的」電影

To use this approach, you need a movie player that can delay subtitles.

為此，你需要能延遲字幕的影片撥放器

Now, before you watch a movie, turn on the English subtitles and then delay the subtitles

在看電影前，開啟英文字幕並將它延遲

for about 2 seconds.

大約2秒鐘

This will make the subtitles appear 2 seconds later than usual.

這能讓字幕比一般版慢 2 秒鐘才出現

Let me show you a movie clip so that you know what it's like to watch a movie

讓我實際展示一段電影片段，你就能了解觀看

with delayed subtitles.

延遲字幕的電影是什麼感覺

So what you need to do when watching a movie this way?

當你在看這種電影時需要做什麼呢?

Well, it's simple.

很簡單

First of all, when you hear an actor speaks, try to listen with full attention.

首先，當你聽到演員在說話時，試著全神貫注聆聽

Don't worry that you may not understand.

別擔心可能會聽不懂

You can read the subtitles later when they appear.

你可以稍後再讀字幕

Now, if you can understand the actor, then don't look at the subtitles.

如果你能聽懂演員說了些什麼，不要看字幕

Read the subtitles only if you don't understand.

只有當你聽不懂時才回去看字幕

If the actor is talking really fast, if you feel like you need more time to read,

如果演員的語速太快，或是當你覺得自己需要多一點時間讀字幕

you can pause the movie before you read the subtitles.

你可以在讀字幕前先暫停影片

Now let me show you another movie clip.

現在讓我再展示另一段影片

This time, try not to read the subtitles unless you don't understand.

這一次，除非你真的聽不懂，否則不要閱讀字幕

Are you ready?

準備好了嗎 ?

Here we go.

讓我們開始吧 !

How did you do?

你做的怎麼樣 ?

Were you able to understand the clip without reading the subtitles?

你有辦法在不閱讀字幕的情況下看懂影片內容嗎 ?

If you had to read the subtitles, that's OK.

如果你還是需要看字幕，那也沒關係

For most English students, movies are really difficult to understand.

對大多數的英語學習者來說，電影真的非常難理解

In fact, even native speakers have trouble understanding movies sometimes.

事實上，有時甚至連母語是英語的人也看不懂電影

So in the beginning, you might have to read subtitles almost all the time.

所以一開始時，你可能需要經常讀字幕

That's OK.

那也沒關係

Listening is a very difficult skill to improve.

聽力是非常難提升的語言能力

So make sure you practice a lot and do it regularly.

你必須大量而且時常練習

And over time, your listening and your vocabulary will get better.

過一段時間，你的聽力和單字量就會進步

All right.

好的
