用英語閱讀:一篇英語短文
學習英語,說白了其實就是反復訓練我們養(yǎng)成不用“中文參考譯文”“讀懂理解”英語,而是“直接用英語翻譯成英語”來“讀懂理解”英語的能力的過程。
能把這個“英語能力”訓練出來,你的英語已經(jīng)變得很厲害了。
我們把這種“用英語讀懂英語”的訓練,叫做“魚”中有“魚”訓練。
1) URead:你是怎么“讀懂”下面小學級別的英語的?
My home 我的家
My home is on the first floor. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room. I’m a child. I have a nice bedroom. In my bedroom, there is a bed, a closet, an air- conditioner and so on. My closet is green. My bed is blue. I love my bedroom very much.
【參考翻譯】
我家是在一樓。有兩間臥室,一間廚房和一間客廳。我是一個孩子。我有一個很好的臥室。在我的臥室里有衣柜,空調機等。我的衣柜是綠色的。我的床是藍色的。我非常喜歡我的臥室。
你還處于還需要上面的借助中文譯文才能“讀懂理解”這段英語的階段嗎?
2) UTalk: “使用英語”訓練:你能“讀英語說英語”嗎?
1. My home is on the first floor.
“說英語”:Well, when we say:My home is on the first floor, we can also say:My house is on the first floor.
Our home is a house,but a house may not be our home.
Our home is the house or the place where our family live together, our father and our mother, our sisters and brothers live there, so we call this house our home.
But a house can be a building, a hotel, an office, a factory. This house is only a house.Our family don't live there. So it is not a home.
把我上面的英語大聲說幾遍,抓住關鍵詞記憶,你就能用英語說清楚home和house的區(qū)別了。
既然我們能試著用英語解釋home和house的不同,為什么還“依賴”中文解釋呢?
On the first floor means not on the second floor, not on the third floor, and so on, or not in the basement, or underground.
Well,when one house is on top of another house, we call this one floor, or one storey.
2. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room.
When we say bedroom, we mean a room in our home where we sleep at night.
A living room is also a sitting room.The family usually spend time in the living room, watching TV, or chatting.
3. I’m a child.
If you are a child, you are a little girl ,or a little boy, or you are a kid.
4. I have a nice bedroom. In my bedroom, there is a bed, a closet, an air- conditioner and so on. My closet is green. My bed is blue. I love my bedroom very much.
A bed is the furniture for sleeping or taking a rest.
A closet is the place for keeping or storing our clothes.
An air-conditioner keeps our room cool in summer,or warm in winter.
5. and so on:When we say and so on ,we can also say etc./ek-'se-tra/
強迫自己用英語讀英語,理解英語,你得到的是更多的英語,謂之:“魚”中有“魚”。
