編者按：提升英語聽力的最好方法是什么本期我將和你這個(gè)非常實(shí)用的聽力方法。也就是我提升聽力的方法。這個(gè)方法很有效。

　　首先，我們來談?wù)?，為什么大多?shù)人不能提高聽力的原因。

　　First, let’s talk about why most people fail to improve their listening.

　　提升你的聽力技能是耗費(fèi)時(shí)間的。他是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期的過程。但是大多數(shù)人忘記了，或者他們對(duì)此一無所知。

　　Improving your listening skills takes time.It is a long-term process. But most people forget that, or they just don’ tknow.

　　所以當(dāng)他們練習(xí)聽力時(shí)，他們使用的方法不太方便，不太容易執(zhí)行。

　　So when they practice listening, they use methods that are inconvenient，something that is noteasy to do.

　　所以，他們不可能持續(xù)練習(xí)，長(zhǎng)期練習(xí)。

　　So, it is impossible for them to continue. Doing if for a long time.

　　因此，大多數(shù)人在見效前，就放棄了。但是，我是怎么知道這個(gè)的? 是的，我知道這個(gè)，因?yàn)槲曳高^同樣的錯(cuò)誤。

　　As a result, most people quit before they get any results. But how do I know this? Well, I know this because I have madethe same mistake.

　　我曾經(jīng)嘗試過幾種不太方便的方法。例如，把一部電話看兩遍，(這種事你們都干過吧!)第一遍帶字幕，然后不帶字幕。那太枯燥了。所以，在看到第四部電影時(shí)，我放棄了。

　　I have tried several methods that were inconvenient, like watching the same movie twice with subtitles first and then without subtitles. That was so boring, so I quit after the fourth movie.

　　我也嘗試過練習(xí)聽力，然后將我聽到的內(nèi)容寫出來。但是工作量太大了，我忙不過來。

　　I also tried listening and then writing down what I heard. But that was too much work and I was too busy.

　　所以，讓我們回到問題本身。你如何確定，你不會(huì)重蹈覆轍? 是的，如果你想成功的話，你必須采用合適的方法。一定要簡(jiǎn)單易行。如果不是，你很可能，在你看到成效前放棄。

　　So let’s take this back to you. How do youmake sure that you don’t fail like I did? Well, if you want to succeed, the method you use must be convenient. It must be easy to do. If it is not, you’ll probably quit before you see an improvement.

　　所以，讓我分享給你提升英語聽力的最方便的方法吧。這個(gè)方法非常簡(jiǎn)單。你只需要做兩步。

　　So let me share with you the most convenient way to improve your listening. It’s very simple. There are only two steps that you need to take.

　　第一步是：下載大量的聽力材料放在你的手機(jī)或者M(jìn)P3上?，F(xiàn)在，最佳的聽力材料是那些人們自然交流的材料。他們?cè)谶M(jìn)行真實(shí)的對(duì)話。當(dāng)你采用這種聽力材料時(shí)，你聽到人們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)生活中使用的，大量的普通的日常詞匯?，F(xiàn)在不要擔(dān)心。在本文結(jié)尾，我將會(huì)給你提供資源，免費(fèi)下載這種材料的資源。

　　Here’s the first step: Download a lot of listening materials to your phone or mp3 player. Now, the best listening materials are the ones where people are just talking naturally. They’re just having real conversations. When you use this kind of materials, you are listening to a lot of common, everyday words that people use in real life. Now don’t worry. At the end of this article, I‘m going to give you a resource you can go to download this kind of materials for free.

　　所以，這就是第一步。下一步非常重要。不要錯(cuò)過這一步。下一步是聽這些聽力材料?，F(xiàn)在關(guān)鍵的一點(diǎn)是：不要在你有空的時(shí)候做，相反，在你準(zhǔn)備做別的事情時(shí)，做。在做一些不需要放在心上的事情時(shí)。

　　So that is the first step. The next step isvery important. Do not miss this step. The next step is to listen to the materials. But here’s the key: DO NOT do it in your free time. Instead, do itwhen you’re already doing something else. Something that doesn’t require much of your attention.

　　在你上下入的時(shí)候，在你排隊(duì)的時(shí)候，在鍛煉的時(shí)候，等等，聽這些材料。用這些時(shí)間來練習(xí)聽力。所以，你沒有必要花費(fèi)額外的時(shí)間?，F(xiàn)在，我們?yōu)槭裁匆@么做? 當(dāng)它容易做的時(shí)候，你才有可能長(zhǎng)期堅(jiān)持下去。如果你堅(jiān)持地足夠長(zhǎng)，你的聽力能力絕對(duì)會(huì)提升。

　　Listen to the materials while commuting,while waiting in line, while exercising, and so on. Use those times to practice listening. So that you don’t have to spend extra time. Now, why do we have to do this? When it is easy to do, you’re likely to do it for a long time. And if you do it long enough, your listening skills will definitely improve.

　　現(xiàn)在我說說那些可能會(huì)嚇到你的東西。讓我們將它和看電影對(duì)比一下。如今有很多人用看電影來提升聽力能力。如果你今天開始采用這個(gè)方法，從現(xiàn)在開始的一年內(nèi)每天花30分鐘的時(shí)間，你將會(huì)聽10950分鐘的日常對(duì)話。這是很長(zhǎng)的聽力訓(xùn)練了。因?yàn)槟悴皇窃谀憧臻e時(shí)做的，所以耗費(fèi)的額外時(shí)間是零。那太棒了!

　　Now let me show you something that might shock you. Let’s compare this technique with watching movies which is how many people improve their listening. If you start using this technique today, and if you do it for 30 minutes per day, one year from now, you will have listened to10,950 minutes of real English conversations. That’s a lot of listening. And because you’re not doing it in your free time, the amount of extra time spentis zero. That is awesome.

　　那看電影呢?首先，在一部電影里在每一部分都要有一段談話，或者是對(duì)話，對(duì)嗎?如果你看一部動(dòng)作片，你可能看到打斗的場(chǎng)面，一場(chǎng)爆炸，汽車追逐，等等。

　　What about watching movies? First of all,in a movie, there isn’t a conversation or a dialogue in every part, right? If you watch an action movie, you might see a fight scene, an explosion, a car chase scene, and so on.

　　所以，讓我們算個(gè)平均數(shù)，一部電影的長(zhǎng)度是100分鐘，其中50%是對(duì)話。剩下的是的東西。如果你一周看四部電影或者一年看208部電話，在一年內(nèi)，你將聽到10400分釧非現(xiàn)實(shí)的英語對(duì)話。最糟糕的是因?yàn)槊坎侩娪岸加?00分鐘長(zhǎng)，這個(gè)方法需要你花費(fèi)20800分鐘的空余時(shí)間。

　　So let’s say that on average, the length ofa movie is 100 minutes. 50% of those are conversations. The rest is something else. If you watch 4 moves a week or 208 movies a year, in one year, you willhave listened to 10,400 minutes of fake English conversations. Now here’s worstpart: because each movie is 100 minutes long, this method requires you to spendas much as 20,800 minutes of your free time.

　　這真的，真的很悲哀?，F(xiàn)在，讓我們來比較一下這兩種方法。我有一個(gè)問題想問你。如果你采用這種方法而不是看電影，你一年節(jié)省了20000多分鐘的時(shí)間。你如何使用這些時(shí)間，看英文書籍來提升你的詞匯量，練習(xí)口語，或者是別的事情，請(qǐng)發(fā)表評(píng)論，并讓我知道。所以你現(xiàn)在知道這種方法的力量了吧。讓我多啰嗦幾句，這是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期的過程。

　　This is really, really sad. Now let’s compare the two methods side-by-side. Now I have a question for you. If you usethis technique instead of watching movies, and you save over 20,000 minutes peryear, how would you spend these 20,000 minutes? Reading English books to increase your vocabulary? Practicing speaking? Or something else? Leave a comment and let me know. So now you know the power of this technique.
