学习日常英语口语的方法 学习日常英语口语的方法第一，如何用英文简单界定一个东西的技巧。 美国人和美国人交谈80%是想告诉对方what is a book 。我们中国人从小学到大学的课本尽管词汇难度不断加深，但思维逻辑结构却只停留在一个水平上。中国人常说where is the book?很少有人说what is a book?而美国的小学生就开始问：what is the book?这种where is the book?只是描述阶段，连哑巴也能做到。但是我想连大学生也很难回答what is a book?因为中国传统英语教学模式没有教会学生表达思想的技巧。 第二，如果已经学会界定，但理解还有偏差，那就要训练how to explain things in different ways. 一种表达方式对方不懂，美国人会寻找另一种表达方式最终让对方明白。因为事物就一个，但表达它的语言符号可能会很多。比如水，世界上就这一个事物，但却有多种符号来表达它。如果一个人懂8种语言，那他在世界上被别人理解的机会就会大得多。用汉语说"水"别人不懂，用德语说别人也不懂，但用英语说water，别人可能就懂了。这就要多做替换练习。传统的教学方法也做替换练习，但这种替换不是真替换，只是语言层面的替换，而不是思维层面的替换。比如，i love you,按中国的替换方法就把you 换成her,my mother,them等，这种替换和小学生练描红没有什么
区别。这种替换没有对智力构成挑战，没有启动思维。换到最后也不知道到底在love 谁，现实生活中也不能这么随便love(笑声)。这种替换句子的基本结构没变，我听不懂i love you,肯定也听不懂i love her。如果替换为i want to kiss you.i want to hug you.i've a crush on you.i will show my heart to you等，或者给对方讲电影《泰坦尼克》，告诉对方that is love，这样一来对方可能就明白了。这才叫真正的替换。 也就是说用一种不同的方式表达同一个意思，或者对方听不清楚，举一个简单易懂的例子来表达，直到对方明白。 对，比如爱因斯坦讲相对论，他用科学术语讲，除了科学家之外是没人听得懂的，所以爱因斯坦就用一个通俗的例子把相对论讲了出来。他说，什么叫相对论呢?两个lovers在一起，一小时相当于一分钟，而两个仇人呆在一起，一分钟相当于一小时，就这是相对论。他这样一讲，我想没有人不会明白相对论的。 第三，我们必须学会美国人怎样描述东西。 从描述上来讲，由于中美的文化不同会产生很大的差异。我们描述东西无外乎把它放在时间和空间两个坐标上去描述。但美国人对空间的描述总是由我及外，由里及表。而中国人正好相反。美国人说"我向雪山走去"，中国人就会说"我从雪山走来"。时间上来说，中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述。我们描述一个东西突然停住时，住往最后说的那个地方是最重要的。我们听评书常说，欲知后事好何，请听下回分解，中国人很认可这种压轴戏、抖包袱式的方式，而美国人听到这里可能会把收音机砸了：我听的就是what happened,但发生了什么我不知道，还要让我下回再
