这里
It's a landscape of hills but also of water
是山雨的国度
这里一年之中有250天在降雨
It rains here for up to 250 days a year
到处都是积水
and standing water is everywhere
在扬子江的涝原
In a floodplain of the Yangtse River
黑尾鹬在泥泞中寻索着虫子

对云南南部的农民而言冬末是个繁忙的季节
Late winter in southern Yunnan is a busy time for local farmers
因为他们要为即将来临的春天整顿这片古老的稻田
as they prepare the age-old paddy field ready for the coming spring
元阳县的山坡以2000M之势
These hill slopes of Yuanyang county
斜插于红河谷地的河床
plunge nearly 2000m to the floor of the Red River Valley
包含了上千由原始刨掘工具所创造出的梯田
each contains literally thousands of stack terraces carved out by hand using basic digging tools
50
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,000
云南的梯田是中国最古老人类耕作痕迹中
Yunnan's rice terraces are among the oldest human structures in China
51
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,400
依旧被耕种使用的土地
still ploughed as they always have been
52
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,300
正如千百年来的习俗一样
by domesticated water buffaloes

It seems as if every square inch of land
56
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400
都被打上了农耕的痕迹
has been pressed into cultivation
57
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,800
当薄暮降临
As evening approaches
58
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,300
另一场古老的仪式上演
an age-old ritual unfolds
现在是交配的季节
It's the mating season
雄禾田蛙们为了吸引异性而卖力高鸣
and male paddy frogs are competing for the attention of females
But it dosen't always pay to draw too much attention to youself
中国池鹭是个饕餮掠食者
The Chinese Pond Heron is a crapulous predator
就算在耕作过的稻田中央
Even in the middle of a ploughed paddy field
也会上演喙与爪的血腥剧目
nature is red in beak and claw
或许这看上去像一场屠杀
This may look like a slaughter
但每只池鹭一次只能吞噬一只蛙
but as each heron can swallow only one frog at a time
此时剩余的多数派得以逃生并获得了明日再度高歌的机会
the vast majority will escape to croak another day
元阳县这样广泛种植水稻的
Terrace paddies like those of YunYang county are found across much of southern China
梯田横贯中国南部
This whole vast landscape is dominated by rice cultivation
苗族人在炎热的贵州发展了高度发达的水稻种植
In heated Guizhou province the Miao minority have developed a remarkable rice culture 苗族人把木屋建立在陡峭低产的山壁上
With every inch of fertile land given over to rice cultivation
用其余每寸丰饶的土地来种植水稻
the Miao build their wooden houses on the steepest and least productive hillsides
所有东西在中国农村都自有其用处
In Chinese rural life everything has a use
牛棚里的肥料在太阳下晒干用作煮饭的燃料
dried in the sun manure from the cowsheds would be used as cooking fuel
中午时分宋家人正饱餐以米和蔬菜为主的中饭

tucking into a lunch of rice and vegetables
老祖父宋古永置身于天伦之乐外
Oblivious to the domestic chitchat
寻思着重要的事情

春季是稻禾生长的伊始时节
Spring is a start of the rice growing season
庄稼的长势决定了来年宋家人的生计
the success of the crop will determin how well the family will eat next year
因而选择合适的时机进行耕作是至关重要的
so planting at the right time is critical
时机的选择取决于当年的天气情况
The ideal date depends on what the weather will do this year
而这些却是永难估料的
never easy to predict
但是身边就存在着贴心小帮手
But there is some surprising help at hand
On the cielling of the Song's living room
a pair of red-rumped swallow newly arrive from their winter migration
他们正在为装潢新一年度的宅邸而忙碌

如大多数苗人一样宋家起居室的窗子可以眺望见成片的梯田
Like most Miao dwellings, the Song's living room windows look out over the paddy fields
从早春起一扇窗子便为了方便燕子往返穿飞而敞开
From early spring, one of these windows is always left open to let the swallows come and go freely 古老爹知晓每年燕子归来的确切时间
Each year granddad Gu knows the exact day the swallows return
苗族人坚信这些鸟儿的归来预示着春季的来临
Miao people believe the birds arrival predicts the timing of a season ahead
然而今年他们姗姗来迟
This year, they were late
因而古老爹和其他族中长老一致认为今年的插秧应当推迟
so Gu and the other community elders have agreed that rice planting should be delayed accordingly 当苗族人为了插秧而整备田地时
As the Miao prepare their fields for planting
燕子们或搜集修整巢穴用的泥巴
the swallows collect mud to repair their nests
或穿越新耕的稻田追逐昆虫
and chase after insects across the newly ploughed paddies
最终经过了几周的准备
Finally, after weeks of preparation
这个预定种植的时刻来临了
the ordained time for planting has arrived
首先秧苗必须从苗床上连根拔起
but first the seedlings must be uproot from the nursery beds
扎成捆移植到高处山地
and bundled up ready to be transported to their new paddy
那崭新的苗床上
higher up the hillside
宋家邻里乡亲全员出动帮助移植
All the Song's neighbors have turned out to help with the transplanting
这是一直来他们的集体协作方式
It's how the community has always worked
当然一旦时刻来临宋家人也会做出相同行为来报恩
when the time comes, the Songs will return the favor
While the farmers are busy in the fields
飞燕们则衔着修整巢穴的材料来来往往
the swallows fly back and forth with material for their nest
人多力量大
Many hands make light work
插秧的整个过程只持续了仅一个多小时
planting the new paddy takes a little more than an hour
当工作完成农户们得以休息
Job done, the villagers can relax
至少在明天来临之前
at least until tomorrow
然而对这些筑巢的飞鸟而言修筑家园的宏大工程
But for the nesting swallows, the work of raising a family
才刚刚开始
has only just begun
新耕种的田地里
In the newly planted fields
白鹭在寻找食物
little egrets hunt for foods
稻田成了虫鱼蝌蚪的乐园
The rice paddy harbor tadpoles fish and insects
而白鹭正好以此哺育幼鸟

But their attitude change when the head of the village fell ill
当政府开始介入保护鸟群时
They blame the birds and were all set to destroy their nests
他们开始敌视鸟群并着手摧毁巢穴
when the local government stepped in to protect them
易弯曲的竹子或许并非安家的最佳场所
Bendy bamboo may not be the safest nesting place
但至少这些小家伙们不会成为捕食者的腹中餐
but at least these youngsters won't end up at someone's dinner
这些小家伙刚从母亲嘴里分得美食
These chicks have just had a meal delivered by their mom
对新生的小嘴着实是一大挑战
quite a challenge for litter beaks
介于他们的栖息地是受保护的
像白鹭这样的候鸟是少数直接从发达的水稻种植中获益的鸟类
wading birds like egrets are among the few wild creatures which benefit directly from intensive rice cultivation
水稻生长需要大量的水
Growing rice needs lots of water
但即便是在多雨的南方有些土地也面临缺水的危机
but even in the rainy south, there are landscapes where water is surprisingly scarce
相当于法国和西班牙国土加起来那么大
This vast area of southwest China
的中国西南的广阔土地
the size of France and Spain combined
因为宛如被干燥中空的谷地隔离开来的巨大蛋盒般
is famous for its clusters of conical hills
连绵的锥形山脉而闻名于世
like giant upturned egg carton seperated by dry empty valleys
这就是喀斯特地貌
This is the karst
石灰石地貌俨然成为南部中国的标志性特征
a limestone terrain which has become the defining image of southern China
喀斯特地貌通常以突起的裸岩状态分布
Karst landscapes are often studded with rocky outcrops
这迫使当地农民只得在破碎的小块土地上耕作
forcing local farmers to cultivate tiny fields
当地人是中国最贫穷的居民之一
The people who live here are among the poorest in China
在毗邻的云南省
In neighboring Yunnan province
遍布着石灰石
limestone rocks have taken over entirely
这就是著名的石林
This is the famous Stone Forest
无数年侵蚀作用的产物
the product of countless years of erosion
造就了无数的狭道与巅峰
producing a maze of deep gullets and sharp-edged pinnacles
石灰石有一个独性那就是能被雨水分解
Limestone has a strange property that is dissolves in rain water
在数千年的漫长光阴中水的侵蚀深入到岩床的心脏地带
Over many thousands of years, water has corrode its way deep into the heart of the bedrock itself

No prices for guessing what this one is called
但百闻不如置身这片奇妙山地亲身一见
But there is more to this landscape than meets the eye
在中国醒目的喀斯特地貌下
China has literally thousands of mysterious caverns
157
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,600
隐匿着无数的神秘洞穴
concealed beneath the visible landscape of the karst
158
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:12,400
这些隐秘世界大多不为世人所知
Much of this hidden world has never been seen by human eyes
159
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,000
而现在他们将被展现在世人眼前
And it's only just now being explored
160
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:27,000
奇险洞穴中再现了一场终极的探险

探索一个洞穴犹如一场穿越时空的探险
Exploring a cave is like taking the journey through time
163
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,400
常年积水叮咚伴随着无止境般的旅途

164
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,600
水滴潺潺落下
Fed by countless drips and trickles
165
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,500
地下河流深切入岩
the subterranean river carves ever deeper into the rock
166
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000
石灰岩河床将洞穴的河道分割成千沟万壑
The cave river's course is channeled by the beds of limestone
167
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,000
石灰岩薄弱处被河水冲刷差距的陡坡处水量激增
A weakness in the rock can not allow the river to increase its gradient flowrate
168
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,600
为洞穴探险带来相当的挑战
providing a real challenge for the cave explorers
169
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,600
水流到达地下水位后便停止下流
The downward rushes halted when the water table is reached
170
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,800
这里缓缓流动的河流切割出一条圆形隧道
Here the slow flowing river carves tunnels with a more rounded profile
171
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,600
这静谧的世界是穴居鱼的家
This tranquil world is home to specialized cave fishes
172
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,700
比如无目金鲃
like the eye-less Golden Barb
173
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,600
中国或许拥有地球上种类最为繁多的
China may have unique kinds of cave evolved fishes
174
洞穴进化鱼
than anywhere else on Earth
175
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,900
在地下水位线

含有沉积物的水流
Stalactites form as trickling water deposites tiny quantities of rock
178
00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:55,400
在千万年间“滴水成石”
over hundreds or thousands of years
179
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:01,500
含有石灰质的水滴落石床形成石笋
Stalagmites grow up where lime laid and drips hit the cave floor
180
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,000
迄今为止被探索发掘的中国洞穴是中国大地上的九牛一毛
So far, only a fraction of China's caves have been thoroughly prospected
181
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,600
而被发掘的洞穴不断为我们展现地底奇观
and caves are constantly discovering new subterranean marvels
182
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,200
许多在后来被开发成了商业景点
many of which are subsequently developed into commercial show caves
183
00:20:44,250 --> 00:20:46,300
探索者沿着洞穴河流出山谷的轨迹逃离了黑暗
184
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:52,700
在远离出发地的河谷
the cave river and its human explorers emerge in a valley far from where their journey began
185
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,300
这场冒险拉上了帷幕
or now the adventure is over
186
00:20:60,290 --> 00:21:02,000
源自洞穴河流
Rivers which issue from caves

In China, they survive in just two southern provinces
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,600
贵州与广西
Guizhou and Guangxi
194
00:21:39,220 --> 00:21:42,500
多半栖息于崎岖的石灰岩地貌地带
always in ragged limestone terrains
195
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,700
正如大多数猴子一样他们是社会性生物
Like most monkeys, they're social creatures
196
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,300
并且他们乐于耗费大把时间为彼此整理仪容
and spend a great deal of time grooming each other
197
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:05,300
叶猴是个不折不扣以嫩芽、嫩叶、水果为食的素食主义者
Langurs are essentially vegetarian with a diet of buds, fruits, and tender young leaves

200
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,800
叶猴宝宝虎钳般的爪

202
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,700
As they get older
203
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:40,500
他们越发胆大，并开始常识更多刺激
they get bolder and take more risks

这对猴子们而言是不可抗拒的诱惑
which the monkeys seem to find irresistible
216
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,400
如今麻阳河自然保护区已鲜有危及猴宝宝的捕食者
These days there are few predators in the Mayanghe Reserve which might pose a risk to baby monkey
217
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,200
然而在过去的数个世纪
but in past centuries, this area of south China
218
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:27,200
中国南部的这个地区是豹子巨蟒甚至老虎的家
was home to leopards, pythons, and even tigers
219
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,500
为了在暗夜潜行者的利爪下存活
To survive dangerous night prowlers
220
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,400
叶猴们前往地底

228
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,200
旅途的终点
At last, journeys end,

00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,999
高悬的庇护所使得最激进的捕食者都束手无策
a coated niche beyond the reach of even the most enterprising predator
230
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,600

00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
这些孩子们刚放学
These children are off to school
232

In rural China, that may mean a long trek each morning
233
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,400
穿越一两个洞穴的艰苦跋涉
passing through a cave or two on the way
234
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,000
然而并非所有孩子都要徒步上学
But not all pupils have to walk to school
235
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,300
这些孩子是寄宿生
These children are boarders
236
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,600
当孩子们快要到达学校时
As the day pupils near journey's end
237
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:16,600
住宿生还在做早饭
the boarders are still making breakfast
238
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:24,600
校园内仿若被关掉了灯一般黑暗
In the school yard, someone seems to have switched the lights off
239
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,000
但这里其实并没有正规的操场
But this is no ordinary play ground
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,500
以及正规的学校
and no ordinary school
241
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,880
只不过是座
Its house
242
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:40,000
洞穴中的房屋而已
inside a cave
243
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:46,200
天然拱顶阻隔了雨水
A natural vault of rock keeps out the rain
244
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,200
为教室省去了屋顶
so there is no need for a roof on the classroom
245
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,400
中东洞穴学校由六个班级
Zhongdong cave school is made up of 6 classes
246
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,900
共200名学生组成
with a total of 200 children
247
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,400
如同这所学校般这个洞穴住宅区
As well as a school, the cave houses 18 families
248
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,200
是18户人家和他们牲畜的聚居地
together with their livestock
249
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:22,000
This could be the only cave dwelling cows on Earth
250
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:30,300
放学后是游戏的时间
With school work over, it's play time at last
251
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
在中国南方洞穴不仅用于遮蔽
In southern China, caves aren't just used for shelter
252
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,300
他们也能为当地人带来恩惠
they can be a source of revenue for the community
253
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,600
数代的人持续受到洞穴的恩泽
People have been visiting this cave for generations
254
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:28,300
洞穴地底覆盖了满满鸟粪
The cave floor is covered in guano
255
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:32,500
仅仅十分钟时间就能让农人满载而归
so plentiful that 10 minutes' work can fill these farmer's baskets
256
00:28:33,650 --> 00:28:36,200
这是一种宝贵的天然肥料
This used as a valuable source of fertilizer
257
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,500
鸟粪的源头能听到河水上空的鸟鸣
A clue to the source of the guano can be heard above the noise of the river
258
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:54,000
噪音因为山洞而被放大
The sound originates high up in the roof of the cave
259
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,800
入口处聚满了雨燕
The entrance is full of swifts
260
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,500
他们是社交性动物
They are very sociable birds
261
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:09,500
约200000多的共享贵州南部的洞穴
more than 200,000 of them share this cave in southern Guizhou province
262
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200
中国最大的雨燕栖息地
The biggest swift colony in China
263
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,200
如今中国的家燕多数将巢穴建在建筑物的屋顶
These days, Chinese house swifts
mostly nest in the roofs of buildings
264
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,300
但其实在房屋被发明出来之前
but rock crevasses like these were their original home
265
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:23,600
这样的岩缝才是他们原本安家的地方
long before houses were invented
266
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,200
尽管雨燕依靠洞穴遮蔽
Though the swifts depend on the cave for shelter
267
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:34,300
他们却必定在日落前归巢
they never stray further than the limits of daylight
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:37,200
因为他们的眼睛无法在黑夜中看清事物
as their eyes can't see in dark
269
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:41,500
然而洞穴深处
However, deep inside the cavern
270
00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:44,500
是一群更适应地下
are the creatures are better equipped
271
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,300
隐秘生活的居民
for subterranean life
272
00:29:50,999 --> 00:29:53,400
一群蝙蝠刚刚醒来
A colony of bats is just waking up
273
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:58,000
他们运用超声波在黑夜中确定自己的方位
using ultrasonic squeaks to orientate themselves in the darkness
274
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,200
夜晚是狩猎时间
Night is the time to go hunting
275
00:30:57,990 --> 00:31:05,000
Rickett鼠耳蝠是亚洲蝙蝠中唯一
Rickett's mouse-eared bat is the only bat in Asia which specializes in catching fishes
276
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:10,000
通过在水面依靠声波对涟漪的反射追踪游鱼的蝙蝠种
tracking them down from the sound reflection of ripples on the water surface
277
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,000
新西兰学子谈学英文（真正的英文学习方法）三年半前我来到了这个陌生的国土，然后就一脚踏进了语言学校，住进了homestay开始了我的人生之旅。 我记得那个时候在语言学校的时候我的老师Pam一个经典的英国女人在语 言上给我带来了很大的帮助。我记得他曾经跟我讲过要学英文： 第一:把你那个english-chinese translator文区星）扔掉 第二:买一本通俗词汇的英英字典 第三:Learn to think in english. 第四:构造自己的英文环境 就上面几点我先谈一下，在学英文时学会用英文的思维去思考，打个比方看到一个桌子，你能用英文来描述它吗？它是什么shape,colour, height,width,usage,……意思就是说，就是你不知道那个东西，但是你能描述出来后，老外能懂，并能告诉你那个确切的单词是什么。那你就英文真正入门了。 在我读梅西大学3年中的工程系时，我从来没用过任何一个英汉翻译的冬冬。讲白了，就是翻译成中文我也看不懂。英文的单词只有在句子当中才能体现它的意思，而不是拿个文区星就能查出来的。讲白了，文区星就是垃圾。如果你认为文区星是你的好帮手的话，那你的英文就根本没入门。扔掉文区星，查单词时用英英字典查，这表明你的英文，更近一层了。 至于环境问题在国内真得很难做到。像我3年大学生活中，老师同学基本 上全都是老外，作业，考试都是英文的，又和老外吃在一起，住在一起，想英文不好都难。 下面是几点建议，看专业资料时，尽力看全英文的，我想这会给你带来很大的帮助的。多看看一些英文的影片，。。。。。。。。。诸如此类我想大家也是聪明人也不讲了。 最后诸位美眉如果感到口语有问题或者听力有问题的话，或者其他有什么问题的话，可
【关键字】精品 六词学英语法（中英文） Space空间 Make room, mentally and physically, for studying. Usually you’re studying for something specific, such as an exam. This can seem daunting, like a mountain to climb. If this sounds familiar, take a deep breath and pause for a moment before you start. 把房间创造成适合身心两方面学习的地方。通常你在学习某一些具体的内容，比如一场考试。这似乎是件很难的事，像要爬一座山。如果这听起来耳熟，深呼吸，在你开始前停顿片刻。 Think of how you make yourself comfortable when you do something you really enjoy, like watching a favorite television program. How do you settle in for the show? Do you sprawl or curl up? Do you have favourite relaxing clothes? Do you choose a particular drink or something to nibble? Borrow all these favorite things to make your studying a better experience. If you’re in a good space physically, you can improve your mental space. 想想当你做一些你真正喜欢的事情的时候，你是怎么让自己感觉舒服的，比如收看最喜欢的电视节目。你是如何看待这些节目的呢？你是翘首以盼还是很慵懒？你有穿着最舒心的衣服吗？你有特定的饮料或是吃的吗？把所有这些心爱的东西聚在一起，为你创造更好的学习体验。如果你待在一个好的环境里，你会改善你的精神领域。 Place 地方 Create your own personal work zone. It doesn’t have to look like a work-space —that’s what many students find off-putting. Building on what you did in the previous paragraph, make the place your own and somewhere you enjoy. 创建自己的个人工作区。它不需要看起来像工作场所——这是很多学生觉得讨厌的一点。基于前一段你创造出适合学习的空间，再打造一个属于你自己的、你也喜欢的地方。 Pace 节奏 Find the right pace for your work. Sprinters work hard and fast in a burst of energy while marathon runners spread the load and build slowly towards the climax. There’s no right or wrong way to pace your studying, except what works for you. Notice the way you like to work, and adju st your pace accordingly. (Just remember, if you study at a slow pace, you’ll need to set aside more time for the task.) 找到合适你的工作节奏。短跑运动员注重在一瞬间的爆发力，而马拉松运动员要分摊里程并慢慢达到极限。在为学习设定速度上不存在谁对谁错的方法，只在乎哪种对你最适用。留意自己愉快工作时的方式，并相应调整自己的节奏。(记住，如果你以一种缓慢的速度进行学习，你需要为完成这些任务留出更多的时间。)
关于英语的学习方法 背诵是学好英语的基本条件，UGS的宣传光盘上看到一些约600M 的中英文材料，都是很专业的，每天背诵其中的一页，学习专业英语，扩充词汇，大约需要早晨1个小时左右。另外，一些基本句型 的熟练掌握对自己英语的基本功和学习的信心都有很大的帮助，要 下死心把这些基本句型倒背如流,这些句型其实拿起市面上随便一本 口语教材就以足够了。还有《边上班边学英文》，一个比较简单的 系统的实用的英文书籍。 阅读方面，自己的专业和工作都是制造系统信息工程方面的，这方面的世界级一流网站是CIMData,每个周会出一个当前行业的新闻 汇总，一个70页左右的PDF文件，用Foxit软件看，还可以进行批注。以前边看边整理国际公司的一些资料(一个200多页的Word文 档了，涉及近100个公司)所以阅读起那个PDF文档，速度就有点慢了，以前需要2，3天的时间，随着以后Word文档的完善，阅读这 个文档也就半天到1天时间吧。在阅读的时候锻炼快速阅读，泛读 的能力，了解内容的框架。通过阅读这个文档，可以培养一种国际 化的视野，了解全球最新的动态，掌握技术的发展和应用情况。这样，阅读不仅吸收了知识，也自然而然地吸收了语言。 听力方面，看一些双字幕的压制好的原版美剧，通过视听来学习英语，通过同时代的事情来学习鲜活的语言，通过文化来了解语言 的魅力，培养学习语言的兴趣。并且要重复听，直到听懂为止。这 也是一个娱乐方式，通过美剧可以放松心情。等听力过关了，可以 看英文版的Friends，则更可以愉悦身心了。其他方面的听力材料 还有VOA，慢速和标准版的《新概念》等。现在比较缺一本日常英 语习语方面的书籍。 口语方面，记得一个材料里写的，可以对着原版电影，边听边模仿里面的发音。模仿英美人的语音语调，但不必一味追求洋腔洋调，重点应放在发音正确，吐字清楚，表达自然。大胆张口，有时不免
快速学习英文的方法快速高效学习英语的方法 英语的学习对学生很重要，想要学好英语，如何快速提高学习效率呢?下面是由的快速学习英文的方法，一起来看看吧。 1. 阅读。想要更快速学英语，最简单的方法就是尽量多阅读。无时无刻阅读。这样你才能更好地掌握词汇、学习语法和俚语。 看漫画。这是一个简单的选项，如果你不想要看儿童读物，那就改看漫画书或漫画。你可在书店和网上购买许多英语漫画书，或是阅读的在线漫画(这些通常被称为网络漫画)。 阅读你从前看过的书。你也可以重新阅读以前看过的书。如果你已大概了解内容，就能更轻松地猜测及了解单词的意思。之前出过中文译本的那些简单的书，买一本英文版本的再读读。之前看过《杀死一只知更鸟》中文译本，英文版买来后发现读起来特别顺畅。 Caroline说本来她非常推荐读报纸的，但是，她发现现在的年轻人不喜欢读报纸了。不过也很好解决，可以尝试读写一些有意思的网上文章，图片多的也行。比如年轻人特别喜欢的BuzzFeed，图片很多，语句精炼，还有很多俚语!
2.看电影。电影让你听到单词的发音，有助于学习新单词，从而提高英语水平。你可先观看有字幕的影片，但没有字幕的影片能让你学得更多。一旦掌握了基本词汇，试着不看字幕，专注聆听你知道的单词，并从荧幕上的剧情猜测你不懂的单词意思。这一点不用多说，非常多的英语学习者早就开始通过看电影学英文了。 3. 玩大型多人在线网游。网游非常热，你可以选择和说美国本地的人一起玩，让自己有机会与他们聊天，向他们学习。你可试玩英文版的《激战Guild Wars》、《魔兽世界 World of Warcraft》或在线版的《上古卷轴The Elder Scrolls》。网游当中会有许多情节，和电影一样。如果你不喜欢自己打，也可以到Youtube上看别人的游戏视频，不过，必须是美国人解说的哦! 1 学习英语的首要理念：要努力去了解“是什么”，而尽量少去了解“为什么”。 因为英语是语言，是人们在长期生活中逐渐形成的一种交流的媒介。很多语汇和句型的用法没有道理可讲，没有“为什么”可言，人们 __用的， __说的，记住就好。当然了，仔细分析起来或许可以找到语法上的解释，但实在不是学习英语的宗旨。婴儿时期，我们学说话的时候，从来没有问过“为什么会这么说”吧，但是为什么后来
英文自我介绍学习方法 一个不错的英文自我介绍应具备以下几个步（tao）骤（lu）： 1、打招呼（拉进你与听众的关系） 2、你是谁（介绍你的基本情况） 3、为啥来（讲一讲你来到这个场合的目的） 4、啥希望（表达你的预期，其实也反映出你的自信） 以下是每一个步骤中可以套用的“万能”语句，均属侃哥原创，背熟即可，屡试不爽。 ①打招呼 1) Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. 2) I'm very happy to be here with all of you. 3) Thank you for giving me such a great opportunity to introduce myself. ②你是谁 1) Well~ 2) My name is ____, 3) And you can call me ____, if you like. 4) I'm from_____, 5) Well~ + 你想要突出的亮点（爱好、工作经历、学习背景等） ③为啥来 *如果是“新人融入团队”的场景，可以跳过这个步骤。 1) Well~ 2) Today I’m here for a chance to work/ study in your company/ school. 3) You know what（你知道吗）? It has been my dream to be part of you, for your comany/ school is an amazing place, which could bring us young people a bright future. ④啥希望
Ways to Learn English Here are 101 things (in no particular order) you can do to improve your English: 1)Don?t be afraid to make mistakes. Be confident. People can only correct your mistakes when they hear you make them. 2)Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking environment where you can learn passively. The best way to learn is through speaking. 3)Practise every day. Make yourself a study plan. Decide how much time a week you are going to spend studying and stick to it. Establish a routine. 4)Tell your family and friends about your study plan. Get them to push you to study and also don?t let them interrupt you. 5)Practise the 4 core skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. They all need to be worked on for you to improve. 6)Keep a notebook of new words you learn. Use them in sentences and try to say them at least 3 times when you speak. 7)Visit EC?s free learn English website at least once a day and complete a lesson. 8)Memorisation of lists is one of the most common ways of learning vocabulary for a test. It's only a good exercise for short term studying because you often do not retain the information that you have learned

一种民族语言（包括词汇）的发展与民族的历史密切可关。要了解英语语汇的发展史，不 可避免地跟整个英语的发展史，乃至英国的历史密不可分。 不列颠群岛的最早居民是凯尔特人，又称不列颠人。公元前55年，罗马人在凯萨大帝的 率领下侵入不列颠群岛，凯尔特人被罗马人赶入威尔士和苏格兰的深山之中。直到公元 410年，罗马占领时期才告结束。随后，来自德国北部平原的三个日耳曼部落盎格鲁人， 撒克森人和朱特人开始来到不列颠定居。英语就是盎格鲁—撒克森人的语言。 语言史学家一般把英语的历史分为三个时期：1、古英语时期，2、中古英语时期，3、现 代英语时期。 1、古英语时期（又称盎格鲁-萨克森时期公元450—1100年） 日尔曼部落在不列颠定居后，名自占领一些地区。盎格鲁人占领了泰晤士河以北的英格兰 的大部分地区和苏格兰的低地，朱特人占领了肯特郡一带地区，撒克森人占领了泰晤士河 以南的大部分地区。各个部落建立了一些小王国，出现了英国历史上的七国时代。直到公 元830年，阿尔弗雷德大王才统一了整个英格兰地区。由于全国长期没有统一，所以古英语时期存在着多种方言，主要方言有四种：西萨克森语，肯特语，莫西亚语和北恩布里亚语。这四种方言都曾一度占主导地位。西撒克森语保存下来的手搞最多。其它方言在形成 英语的过程中也起过很重要的作用。 古英语的词汇有着浓厚的日尔曼语族的特点。这主要表现为复合法是重要的构词方法。复 合词在古英语词汇中占有显著的地位。据统计，在史诗《贝奥武夫》3183行诗句中，竟有1069个复合词。有些复合词中不重读部分，渐渐失去了独立地位，而演变成了词缀，如 for-, in-, -ful 等派生法在古英语中也广泛使用。共有二十四个名词后缀、十五个形容词后缀，-dom, -hood, -ship, -ness, -the, -ful,- ish 等词缀都可溯源到古英语时期。古英语时期的诗歌有一种特殊的修辞手法，即头韵(alliteration)，由此产生的许多短语一直保留到现在，如night and main, friend or foe, a labour of love。 古英语时期有两个重要的历史事件，给英语词汇带来较大的影响。第一件事是基督教传入 英国。公元597年，一个名叫奥古斯丁的牧师从罗马来到英国传教。罗马文化随着基督教传入了英国。与此同时，一批拉丁词进入了英语。 第二件事是北欧人入侵英国。从公元790年开始，大批斯堪的那维亚人在英国定居。丹麦国王卡纽特还一度成为英国的君主。斯堪的那维亚人和英国人频繁交往，所以有许多斯堪 的那维亚各国的词语进入了英语。 2、中古英语时期（公元1100—1500年） 公元1066年，诺曼人在征服王威廉率领下，横渡英吉利海峡，在哈斯丁战役中击溃了盎 格鲁-萨克森军队，英王哈路德战死，英国被征服。这在历史上被称为诺曼征服。从此，英国结束了分裂状态，置于中央集权的封建统治之下。谨曼征服是英国历史上的重要转折点，对英语的发展有巨大的影响。 诺曼征服之后，谨曼人占据了教会和政府的一切重要职务。以后的二、三百年里，谨曼法 语成为英国的官方语言。普通人仍然讲英语，但英语的文字记载却几乎中断。中古英语一 般右以分为两个时期，1204年后，英语逐渐恢复主导地位。1362年英王爱德华三世首次 用英语向议会致词。十五世纪，伦敦标准方言兴起。1476年，卡克斯顿把印刷术传入英国，

《新概念》英语学习方法完全手册 一、新概念选择英音还是美音？ 答：在书店购买的《新概念》配套磁带就是英音版，由外研社出版。一般我们说的经典语音就是这个版本。但是，对于第一册来说，偶数课，这个版本的录音是没有的。只有美语版《新概念》第一册的录音是完全的。但是，对于学习美语又喜欢《新概念》的朋友来说，最好是听美音版的，由上海外国语大学出版。市场上很少见了，需要耐心的在网上找。美音与英音的原则全凭个人喜好，没有谁好、谁不好的区别。只要是学英语的人，在练习听力时应该美音、英音都接触，因为在现实生活中，你不知道你碰到的外国人是欧洲人，还是美洲人，即使是美国人也有说英式英语的。那么你自己的语音要始终遵循一种，不要英美混杂。 二、学习《新概念》该从第一册开始，还是从第二册开始？ 怎么去背诵课文？答：对于《新概念》的学习，首先要告诉你的是一定要下苦功夫，不能嫌烦，坚持下去。而且要从第一册开始学起，这样对于你以后的学习会有好处的。相对来说，第一册简单一些，基本上是一些日常对话，或者简单的叙述性短文。别看简单，如果你能脱口而出、运用自如的话，口语方面就已经相当了不起了，而且，对于第二、三、四册的学习，提供了良好的坚实基础。 说说新概念一的学习： 1、不要去看那些背着 2、 3、4册人的感言。大多数都是为了应付考试而去背诵的。没意义！即使背了，说的时候也都是想那些最简单的句子去表达，因为难的一个都想不起来，简单的还怕自己表达不准确呢。 2、你可知道生活中的英语就是很简单的，哪里有书本上那么复杂？陈述式的表达方式就是比日常口语要复杂。它不像“您住哪儿？” “我住天安门广场正中央”这种对话那么简单。 3、打开新概念第一册，看哪儿哪儿会，当然是觉得非常的简单了。你别去看书，就听录音，尤其是那些对话的录音，一句一句的播放，相当于在和别人交谈，你看你能否回答正确？即使你的回答不是和书上的一样，那么你想想你能顺利的做出回答吗？ 4、每课学完后，你能把这些简单的对话用到生活中去吗？生活中不用英语，4册书都背下来最大的成就也就是顺利通过考试，其他的什么都不是！没有人会听你滔滔不绝的背课文的，课文是别人的，不是自己的！ 5、新概念第一册，语速是慢，这种情况下，你能在听英文的时候反应出它的中文解释吗？你能在听录音的同时，直接做出它所表现的动作或想像出它表达的意思吗？是不是还在心里“听到英文――翻译成中文――想中文回答再翻译成英文做出反应”这么一个过程？
