and in this video we're going to talk about what you can do

這部影片中我們要談的是，如果你太忙沒時間學英語

if you are too busy to learn english,

你可以怎麼做

so keep watching!

所以不要轉台喲！

Over the years, I have taught many many

多年來，我教過許許多多人

English learners English. This has been in language schools

學習英語。這都是在語言學校做一對一

one to one lessons and in different ways as well.

並利用較多元的方式進行的教學

Now, some learners like to do their homework

那麼，有些學生喜歡家庭作業

others don't do it - and the number one reason

有些不喜歡 - 當有些人沒寫家庭作業時

or the number one excuse I hear when someone hasn't done their homework

我所聽到第一名的理由或是藉口

is that they are too busy. Maybe you have said this too.

就是他們太忙了。也許你也說過同樣的話

Maybe you have said "I'm too busy to learn English."

也許你說過「我太忙了，沒時間學英語」

Now, in the majority of these cases,

其實在大多數情況下

it's not that you're too busy - it's just that you have

並不是你太忙 - 只是你有其他的

other priorities. Now, this is not right or wrong

優先事項。這不是對錯的問題

sometimes other priorities are more important.

有時候的確有其他更重要的事

but it's good to be aware that there are

但是意識到在學習英語時

other things involved when it comes to learning English.

會受到其他事情的干擾是很重要的

For example, one student I had preferred to play sports.

例如，我曾經有一個喜歡運動的學生

She preferred to do sports all the time instead of learning English,

她總是寧願去運動，而不是學習英語

and she was aware that sports

她很清楚

were a higher priority than learning English.

她選擇運動優先於學習英語

So, the first thing to be aware of

所以，首先要知道

and to think about is your priorities.

並加以考慮的，是你對事情的優先順序

Is learning English high on your list

在你的優先事項清單上

of priorities? And if not, can you make it more

學習英語排在前面嗎？ 如果不是，你可以把它改放在

of a priority?

更優先的位置嗎？

But what if you are really really busy?

但如果你真的真的很忙呢？

And you're working all day; you have to look after family;

你整天都在工作；你必須照顧家人

you have to do lots of other things too? What if you really don't have time to

你還必須做很多其他的事情？ 如果你真的沒有時間學習英語

learn English?

該怎麼辦？

What if you can't say, "For one hour today I'm going to learn English"?

如果你連「我今天要花一個小時學英語」都辦不到怎麼辦？

Well,

那麼

you could introduce more English and listen to English,

你可以導入更多的英語，聽英語，

read English, and generally do things in English

閱讀英語，用英語來處理

while doing other things - A great example of this

一般的事務 - 一個很好的例子就是

is when you're on your way to work, if you're on a train

你在上班的途中，不論你是搭火車、

in the car on your bike or walking, you can listen to English while you're on

開車、騎自行車或是走路，你都可以

your way to work.

聽英語

Additionally, many people can also listen to English music

此外，許多人可以在工作時

while they are working. So think about ways you can introduce more English

聽英文歌曲。所以想想辦法，即使你真的很忙

into your life even if you are really really busy.

你也可以在生活中引入更多的英語

But also, as I said before, think about your priorities.

而且，正如我之前所說，想想看你的優先順序是什麼

Now, if you really enjoy watching television,

如果你真的很喜歡看電視

then watch television in English.

那麼就看英語節目

In fact, try to think about all the things that you do now

實際上，試著將你要做的事情

in your native language but do them

用母語思考，但用

in English instead. One last thing: One

英語執行。最後：

is better than zero - what I mean by this

聊勝於無 - 我的意思是

is if you can only do one minute of learning English

如果你只有一分鐘的時間學英文

then do that one minute - don't think it has to be one hour

那就學一分鐘 - 不要想說一定要有一小時的時間才學

or nothing - if you can only do five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes

時間不夠就放棄 - 如果你只有五分鐘、十分鐘或十五分鐘

do it in English. Now the question for this video

那就用這些時間學英語。這部影片的提問是：

is this: What tips do you have

你有些什麼撇步可以提供給

for those people who say they are too busy to learn English?

那些自稱沒時間學英語的人？

What tips do you have for people who say they are too busy to learn English?

你有些什麼撇步可以提供給那些自稱沒時間學英語的人？
