Hey guys today, I want to share a story with you
大家好,今天我要和你們分享
-
about something that I learned while I was watching SpongeBob SquarePants,
我在看《海綿寶寶》時學到的一些事
-
and I know this sounds silly, but this is actually one of the most
我知道這聽起來有點蠢,
-
valuable lessons I've ever learned about language learning.
但這其實是我學到有關語言學習最有價值的一堂課
-
So a lot of you know that I have spent a lot of time in foreign countries
你們很多人知道我花了很多時間住在國外
-
learning foreign languages and practicing my foreign languages with native speakers.
學習外語還有和母語人士練習外語,
-
And if you have ever been in that situation yourself
如果你也曾有過那種經驗
-
then you're very familiar with the
你大概很熟悉
-
feeling of terror that comes along with the moment when
和母語人士說外語時,
-
you actually have to speak that language to a native speaker,
那種隨之而來的恐懼,
-
and you start to feel self-conscious
你開始覺得侷促不安,
-
and you get all these scary thoughts in your head about screwing up
你腦裡開始有各種恐怖的想法,
-
and having people laugh at you,
害怕自己會搞砸然後人們會嘲笑你,
-
and you know, saying something wrong.
還有害怕自己說錯話,
-
And then the moment comes, and you actually speak this foreign language,
而當你真的開口說外語時,
-
and maybe they do laugh at you, and all of a sudden you just come to the
或許他們真的會笑你,
-
And all of a sudden you just come to the realization that you are a failure and I suck
突然之間你會覺得自己是個失敗者,自己糟糕透了,
-
and I never should have tried this.
早知道不該說話的,諸如此類
-
This is a problem with attitude.
所以問題其實出在態度
-
A lot of times we come at language learning with the wrong attitude.
很多時候我們用了錯誤的態度來學習外語
-
So while I was watching Spongebob I came across this clip of him,
當我恰巧看了這個《海綿寶寶》短片
-
all down in the dumps because
他心情跌入谷底
-
he came to the realization that he is ugly,
因為他意識到自己很醜
-
so I want you to pay attention to SpongeBob's attitude
我希望你們仔細看海綿寶寶在這部片裡的態度,
-
and what he does in this clip
還有他做了什麼
-
I'm ugly
我很醜
-
You're ugly and what?
你很醜,還有呢?
-
Square?
方方正正?
-
No. Proud.
不。你很驕傲
-
I'm ugly, and I'm proud. I'm ugly and I'm proud
我很醜,而且我很驕傲。我很醜,我很驕傲
-
Louder!
大聲一點!
-
I'm ugly and I'm proud, I'm ugly and I'm proud, I'm ugly and I'm proud!
我很醜我驕傲,我很醜我驕傲,我醜我驕傲!
-
So what does this have to do with language learning?
所以這跟語言學習有什麼關係?
-
Well a lot of times we fail at language learning
是這樣的,很多時候我們之所以語言學習失敗,
-
because we come at it with the wrong attitude
是因為我們態度不對
-
We look at errors and mistakes and bad grammar and accents as if these are something to be ashamed of,
我們看到錯誤和糟糕的文法還有腔調
-
just the same way as Sponge Bob was ashamed of being ugly.
就把他們視為可恥的東西,
-
But if you have this attitude you will not progress in your language.
就像海綿寶寶覺得醜也很可恥
-
One of the things you have to learn when you're learning languages
但要是你秉持這種態度,你的語言就不會進步。
-
is you have to learn to be bold,
其中一個你在學習外語時應該學習的是
-
and you have to learn to have confidence,
你必須學著大膽,
-
and you have to learn to be proud and embrace your mistakes.
學著自信
-
And you have to learn to have the mindset that
你必須學會驕傲,並且擁抱你的錯誤
-
mistakes are not your enemies.
你必須調整心態,
-
They're your friends,
知道錯誤並不是你的敵人。
-
they're there to help you learn more of the language.
他們是你的朋友
-
And if you spend all your time
他們幫助你更多地學習語言,
-
just trying to avoid making mistakes,
而若是你耗費時間
-
then you're never gonna learn anything.
就只為了避免出錯
-
So a useful trick is just learning how to reframe your situation.
你就不會學到東西。
-
Every time you make a mistake,
所以一個實用的技巧就是學著換個角度思考
-
you can shrug your shoulders just like Spongebob and say I'm ugly
每次你出錯時,
-
or
你可以像海綿寶寶一樣聳聳肩,然後說「我很醜」
-
you can learn to embrace that and enjoy it
或者
-
and start to say every time I make a mistake,
你可以學習接受錯誤,從中獲得樂趣,
-
I'm learning something.
開始想每一次的出錯
-
And maybe the people will correct you,
都是一個學習的機會
-
maybe they'll laugh at you, and yeah, it doesn't feel good.
而或許人們會糾正你的錯誤,
-
But you're learning something and
又或者他們會笑你,是啊,那感覺不好受
-
you can learn to enjoy that sensation.
但你確實在學習,
-
The one thing I don't want to see you doing is
而你可以學習享受這種感覺
-
failing to practice your target language because you're too afraid of making mistakes
一件我所不樂見的事,
-
because you cannot learn a language with your mouth shut.
就是你因為太害怕犯錯而不去練習你的目標語言
-
So take a lesson from Spongebob,
因為你嘴巴閉著可沒辦法學語言。
-
and if you're sitting there all humped over like this saying,
所以和海綿寶寶學學吧
-
"I have an accent," you have the wrong attitude.
如果你駝著背坐在那裡,
-
You have to learn to embrace your accent,
嘴裡說「我有腔調」,你的心態就不對了
-
embrace your mistakes embrace your screw-ups.
你要學著接受你的腔調,
-
And you have to become proud and bold and confident
接受你的錯誤,接受你每次又搞砸時
-
and throw your hands in the air and say
然後你要驕傲、大膽、自信,
-
"I'm not perfect, I screw up all the time
把手舉高然後說
-
but I'm learning and I'm getting better,"
「我並不完美,我總是出錯,
-
and people will respect that.
但我正在學習,而且正在進步。」
-
This says a lot more about your character,
人們會尊敬這點。
-
then even if you were able to speak perfectly
這說明了你這個人
-
100 percent of the time, people don't care about that.
而且即使你能夠說得百分之百完美,
-
It's more important to be bold.
人們也不會在乎
-
Thanks for watching the video, and we'll see you guys next week.
比較重要的是要大膽作為
