教初中生一口流利英语的七大法则(2)

　　说英语时，语法应该是你担心的最后一件事。为了用英语跟他人交流，你不需要有很好的语法。本土说英语的人不会因为你法语差来评判你，他们会更加集中精力去理解你的意思，继续你们的谈话。只要你能够说的很清楚很有自信，即使你用错冠词、形容词结尾或者句子顺序都是没有关系的。

　　Many language programs put too much emphasis on grammar and not enough emphasis on speaking. They spread the idea that you have to know all the grammar rules before you can start speaking， which can have the effect of reducing your confidence when you finally start speaking. This is backwards. You should learn to speak first to build your confidence， and then work on correcting your grammar after you’ve reached a basic level of fluency.

　　许多语言教学过多强调语法而没有足够的强调口语。他们向你灌输开口说英语之前要了解所有语法规则的思想。导致你终于开口说英语的时候，自信心却降低了。这种方式实际上反了。你应该先大胆说，建立自信，然后在口语达到一定流利程度之后再纠正语法。

　　Everybody makes mistakes， even native speakers of English. Nobody is born speaking perfect English； fluency is something that takes time and hard work to achieve. There are many Americans who go through 13 years of schooling and still don’t learn how to speak English properly.

　　每个人都会犯错，甚至母语是英语的人。没有人天生就能说一口流利英语，这是需要花很多时间和努力才能实现的。许多美国人经过13年的教育，也仍然没有学好怎样得体地说英文。

　　So don’t be discouraged by your mistakes. Learn to embrace them and value them for the role they play in your learning.

　　因此不要因你犯的错误而灰心。学着去喜欢犯错，在学习的过程中重视犯错起的作用。

　　3. Don’t Apologize For Your Level

　　3.不要对你所处的水平感到抱歉

　　Something that really annoys me when I’m talking to someone in English is when they apologize for how much English they speak. I’ve never been offended by someone’s level of English， and I don’t get upset when someone makes mistakes. If you talk to someone and they do get offended or upset because of your level of English they are an evil person who probably tortures kittens in their spare time.

　　当我用英文跟别人交流的时候，有些事真的让我很厌烦，有些人说英文的时候会对自己的口语水平感到抱歉。我从未因一些人的英语水平而生气，当别人犯错的时候我也并不生气。如果有人会因为你的口语水平不佳而感到生气或是不高兴，那么他们可能是那种在业余时间虐待小猫的坏人。

　　Most of the people who apologize for their level of English feel like they should speak better than they do. Its fine to think this， but don’t get upset at yourself for not knowing more than you do. Achieving fluency in any language is a process that takes time， and you can’t expect to become fluent overnight. Whether you’ve been studying English for years or only for a few months， you’ve put in a lot of work to get where you are， so don’t underestimate yourself.

　　大部分对自己的口语水平感到抱歉的人都是觉得自己的口语能说的更好。如果能这样想肯定是最好，但是不要因为不知道怎么表达自己想要说的而灰心。任何语言要达到流利的程度都需要花时间，你不能指望一夜之间就能变得很流利。无论你已经学英语学了几年或是仅仅只几个月，你投入了大量的努力去达到你想要程度，因此不要低估自己的能力。

　　4. Don’t get frustrated with yourself

　　4. 不要对自己泄气

　　Learning English will come with a certain amount of frustration. At some point you will come to a stage where you won’t be able to fully express yourself like you would be able to in your native language， and there will be times when you won’t be able to find the right word to say.

　　学英语期间，你肯定会有挫折感。有时你会感到自己不能像使用母语那样，用英语表达自己所想，并且找不到合适的英文单词去表达。

　　Nearly everyone who learns English goes through this phase； it’s just a natural part of the language learning process. This stage may last only a few weeks if you are completely immersed in English， but it could last years if you only use English twice a week at your language school. The only way to overcome this frustration is by practice， practice， practice.
