成功的英語四級學(xué)習(xí)者走過的路都一樣

　　We learn by encouragement  and not by criticism.

　　我們是通過鼓勵，而不是批評學(xué)習(xí)的!

　　很多的人都以為，我(瘋狂英語)和學(xué)院派是誓不兩立的。

　　在過去的近20年當(dāng)中，大家可能有這樣一個印象，經(jīng)常會有教授跳出來罵我，因為我搶了學(xué)院派的風(fēng)頭，奪了學(xué)院派的面子，得罪了學(xué)院派的教授。其實不然，真正有水平的“大教授”、“名教授”是非常欣賞瘋狂英語的。他們通常會說：年輕人，加油!你說出了我們想說而沒有說的東西!你是一個勇敢的人!而跳出來罵瘋狂英語的教授多半是一生不得志的，或是品行、心胸不過關(guān)的人。

　　無論是瘋狂英語，還是學(xué)院派英語，大家強調(diào)的都是“勤學(xué)苦練”。唯一的區(qū)別就是：瘋狂英語非常強調(diào)脫口而出，特別注重發(fā)音訓(xùn)練，非常反感選擇題，教學(xué)。話可能說得有點不謙虛，有點太刺激，導(dǎo)致一些人聽了不舒服。

　　今天，我偶然看到了我非常崇拜的一位教授談英語學(xué)習(xí)的文章，特別轉(zhuǎn)載給大家。

　　楊瀾的外語為什么這么好? 何振梁為什么可以掌握多國語言? 李陽的瘋狂英語魅力何在?

　　北外胡文仲教授(一個品德高尚、心胸寬廣的教授)通過跟你情，告訴你一些learning strategies。

　　Be a thinking learner

　　Be a thinking learner. Find strategies suitable for yourself.

　　Constantly reflect on your study and sum up your experience. Improve

　　your strategies. Now from the story that we have heard, that we have

　　related, we can see that good language learners often think a lot

　　while they are learning. They try out different strategies and then

　　they try to find out if it works for them or not. Which one works

　　for them, and which one doesn’t. And then they decide on the one

　　that works best.

　　大師強調(diào)，我們要做一個學(xué)英語的“有心人”。我們應(yīng)該在學(xué)習(xí)過程中不斷嘗試各種方法，并摸索出最適合自己的一套方法。

　　Beiwai's past experience

　　Beiwai has got a lot of experience in training students to learn

　　English well and to communicate. When I was a student here, we used

　　to organise a lot of oral activities. We used to keep a piece of

　　paper in the pocket. And then everybody has a card in the pocket. If

　　you happened to speak Chinese, then I'll write it down. So you'll

　　lose a point. And if you speak English, you'll gain a point. So a

　　few of my fellow students who were very shy and didn't want to speak

　　would try to get away from people so that they would not speak

　　Chinese (English?). And in class there're often speaking pairs and

　　also small group activities. Reading aloud contests are often

　　organized. And then there's an English evening at the end of each

　　term. As you know, there're are still English evenings organized,

　　but not as often as before. By the way, YangLan used be a hostess of

　　English evenings organized here. So probably YangLan learned her

　　first experience on the stage from hosting the English evenings

　　here. Field work, and also summing up learning methods and exchange

　　experiences.

　　大師回憶了自己在北外的上學(xué)經(jīng)歷�？诖�里揣著小紙條、小卡片，隨時隨地尋找練習(xí)口語的機會。而大家眾所周知的北外畢業(yè)生楊瀾，在校期間就多次擔(dān)任英語晚。她的舞臺之路應(yīng)該就是從北外開始的。

　　此外，胡教授的講座中提到了精通多國語言的中國奧委會名譽主席何振梁先生的成功秘訣。

　　Be a good guesserG7b大學(xué)英語四級考試網(wǎng)

　　Be a good guesser. Guessing, in a way, is learning. Why do you

　　guess? Because you are curious. And curiosity, is very important for

　　learning new things. If you are not curious about anything, then

　　probably you can't really learn. So guessing is learning. And

　　curiosity is one of the probably motivating forces for learning. You

　　may make a wrong guess, but you learn in the process. It doesn’t

　　matter if you make a wrong guess. But you don't make wild guesses.

　　You use your previous knowledge to make an intelligent guess.

　　胡教授指出，保持強烈的好奇心，并且依據(jù)已有的知識做出合理的猜測和推斷，是學(xué)好一門語言的好方法。

　　Now here I'd like to tell you a story about someone whose name is

　　very familiar to you, He Zhenliang. I think this name is familiar to

　　all Chinese now. Because he was ..er..instrumental, he was a great

　　help in getting Beijing win the bid for 2008 Olympics. He used to be

　　a member of the International Olympic Committee, IOC. Later he

　　became vice-president of IOC, next to Mr. Samaranch. In 1976, there

　　was a table tennis championship held in Pyongyang, North Korea, he

　　was one of the leaders of Chinese delegation. And I was a young

　　interpreter working for the World Table-tennis Conference. None of

　　us knew any Korean. The interpreters were provided by North Korea.

　　So when we went anywhere, we would have the North Korea interpreters

　　translate things for us. After the conference, we went sightseeing,

　　we went to金鋼山，板門店，and we also went to see various parts of

　　Pyongyang. When it was half way though the trip, one day, Mr. He

　　Zhenliang called the North Korean interpreter to his side and

　　pointed to the Korean characters. He said, “Does this character

　　pronounce something like this?” And then he said one sound, and the

　　interpreter said yes. “Does this sound like this?” And the

　　interpreter said yes even more surprised. “And what about this, does

　　it sound like this?” He said, “Yes, so you know Korean! I didn’t

　　know you could speak Korean.” Mr. He said, “No, I do not know But

　　from what you read, I guessed Korean language is an alphabetical

　　language. There’re some consonants and some vowels. So I guessed

　　these are the consonants, these are the vowels. So I made them up

　　and pronounced them. All of us were amazed. Because all of us were

　　with the group all the time and I was a young interpreter and a

　　teacher. But I paid no attention to what the Korean were reading,

　　while they were reading Korean characters. But Mr. He Zhenliang

　　worked out the phonetic system nearly after about ten days. So of

　　course Mr. He Zhenliang was both good at English and French. His

　　first foreign language is French, second foreign language is

　　English. But his ability, his curiosity and also his ability to

　　guess intelligently really astonished us. So no wonder he became

　　vice-president of IOC. I think he has a lot of qualities that we are

　　not aware of. So from this example I really admired him even more.

　　At that time, he wasn't on the IOC. He was only one of the leaders

　　of the Chinese Sports Commission.

　　Don't be shy

　　Don't be shy. Now this I've learned from LiYang. I used to go to I

　　used to take walks along the little river behind our university. And

　　every morning I would hear a young man shouting something. I

　　couldn’t hear clear at first, so I went closer and I listened hard.

　　And I found that he was shouting, “Don't be shy! Just try! Don't be

　　shy! Just try...” I thought why did he shout like that. I didn’t

　　know this came from LiYang’s class. Is that right? That’s right,

　　later I found in CCTV program that LiYang told people, “Don't be

　　shy! Just try!” So here I’ve learned from LiYang, don’t be shy. Take

　　the initiative to communicate with people. Don’t worry about your

　　“face”, and learn to speak in public.

　　不要害羞，這是我從李陽那里學(xué)的。我以前經(jīng)常沿著我們大學(xué)后面的小河散步，每天早晨都會聽見一個年輕人在那喊著什么。開始的時候我聽不太清，所以我走近一點，努力地聽。我發(fā)現(xiàn)他嘴里喊的是“Don't

　　be shy! Just try! Don't be shy! Just

　　try...”。我想，他為什么這樣喊呢?我不知道這種方法來自李陽的課堂。這種方法對嗎?完全正確!后來，我在中央電視臺的節(jié)目中看見李陽告訴人們，“Don't

　　be shy! Just try!

　　”所以，在這兒我要向李陽學(xué)習(xí)：不要害羞。主動去和別人交流，不要顧慮你的“面子”，要學(xué)會在公眾面前說話。(胡教授十分認同李陽瘋狂英語中“不要害羞，大膽開口”的理念。練習(xí)一門語言就是不能懼怕丟臉。)

　　最后，胡教授強調(diào)大家一定要有強烈的交流欲望。

　　Have a strong drive to communicate.Talk to your fellow student, your

　　teachers, your foreign teachers or anyone who wishes to listen to

　　you. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. If you have no one to talk

　　to, talk to yourself. Of course talking to yourself is very boring

　　or could be very boring. It’s not the best method. I don not

　　recommend it highly. I think you should really try to find a

　　partner. There is an English Corner and English Corner and

　　communicate with others.

　　能找伙伴就找伙伴，實在找不到就自己對自己說。

　　Practice as much as you can.

　　胡教授期待我們每個人都成為一個good language learner。
