[推薦]英語口語學習方法總論
1. Oral English:(口語學習方法總匯)
　　(1). We study spoken English so as to make oral communications,
　　so this order of importance of oral English study should be
　　followed: Fluency, Accuracy, and Appropriateness. That is to
　　say, we have to pay more attention to practical communicating
　　ability instead of only laying emphasis on the grammatical
　　correctness.
　　
　　我們學習口語目的是為了與別人進行交流,所以英語口語中的幾個要素的重要次序應(yīng)為:流利-準確-恰當.
　　(2).Try to find some partners practicing oral English together
　　and English corner is a good place as where we may exchange
　　English study experience, widen our sight and improve interest
　　in English.
　　
　　尋找學伴一起練習口語.英語角是個不錯的地方,在那我們不但可以練習口語,還可以交流英語學習經(jīng)驗,開拓視野,提高英語學習興趣.
　　(3). If English partners are not easy to get, then we have to
　　create an English environment ourselves by speaking English to
　　ourselves.
　　
　　如果找不到學伴或參加英語角的機會很少,那么也沒有關(guān)系,有很多種方法可以自己練習口語.比如通過自己對自己將英語來創(chuàng)造英語環(huán)境.可以對自己描述所看到的景物,英語口述自己正在作的事情.
　　*(4).This method is very effective and easy to insist on--
　　interpreting Chinese-English novels or books. First we read the
　　Chinese parts and then try to interpret them into English and
　　then compare our interpretation with the original versions in
　　the novels or books so that we can find out the mistakes,
　　shortcomings and progresses in our interpretation.
　　
　　 *這種方法非常有效且很容易堅持---口譯漢英對照(或英漢對照)的小說或其它讀物.首先我們先讀漢語部分,然后逐句直接口譯成英文,完成一小段后,去看書上的對應(yīng)英文部分并與我們的口譯進行比較,我們馬上可以發(fā)現(xiàn)我們口譯的錯誤,缺點和進步. 請注意:開始要選擇較簡單的讀物,且應(yīng)大量做,只做一兩篇效果是不明顯的.開始可能較慢,費時較多,但請堅持,整體上這是一個加速的過程. 高級階段請計時練習,以加快反應(yīng)速度和口語流利度.
　　 *作為成人學英語,記憶力差是個攔路虎,作復述練習或背誦課文往往力不從心,或者由于詞匯量太小覺得直接作口譯太難,那么這樣做可以非常有效地解決這個問題:：先學習英文課文,通篇理解透徹后,再來看漢語譯文, 把漢語譯文口譯回英文. 這樣等于既作復述練習又作口譯(語)練習,可謂一石雙鳥!
　　 *這樣作的好處:
　　1. 自己就可以練習口語,想練多久,就練多久.
　　2. 始終有一位高級教師指出您的不足和錯誤---英文原文.
　　3. 題材范圍極廣,可以突破我們自己的思維禁錮,比如我們總是喜歡談?wù)撐覀冏约菏煜さ脑掝},所以我們總是在練習相同的語言,進步當然就緩慢了.
　　4. 選擇小說,幽默故事或好的短文閱讀,使我們有足夠的興趣堅持下去.
　　5. 有一些我們在直接學習英語課文時被我們熟視無睹的地道的英語用法會被此法發(fā)掘出來.
　　6. 對所學知識和所犯錯誤印象深刻.這等于我們一直在作漢譯英練習,很多英文譯文是我們費盡心思憋出來的,所以印象相當深刻.比直接學習英文課文印象要深的多.
　　7. 經(jīng)過大量的練習,你會有這樣的感覺:沒有什么東西你不能翻譯,你的翻譯水平大大加強了,你的口語表達力大大提高了!
　　(5). Interpreting what you hear---Changing Roles: Three people
　　make a group: one speaks Chinese, one speaks English acting as
　　the foreigner, one acts as interpreter. Then change roles. This
　　is a good interpreting training method and is good for studying
　　from one another. In addition, it may improve the responding
　　ability and speed of students. The advanced stage of this method
　　is simultaneous interpretation.
　　
　　聽譯法-角色互換:三人一組,模擬翻譯實戰(zhàn).一人將漢語,一人將英語,扮演老外,一人作翻譯.練習一段時間后互換角色.這是一種非常好的翻譯訓練方法,也是很好的相互學習,取長補短的方法.而且可大大提高反應(yīng)速度和能力.此法的高級階段為同聲傳譯,我們可以在聽廣播或看電視或開會時,把所聽內(nèi)容口譯英文.
　　(6). Oral composition and 3-minute training method: This
　　method is suitable for intense training. Making an oral
　　composition about a certain topic for one minute the first time
　　and record the composition on tape at the same time. Then listen
　　to the composition and find out the room for improvement. Then
　　make the same composition for two minutes for the second time
　　and also record it. And at last repeat the above-mentioned for
　　three minutes.
　　
　　口語作文和3分鐘訓練法:此法適用于強化訓練.找好一個題目作一分鐘的口語作文,同時將其錄音.聽錄音,找出不足和錯誤,就此題目再作兩分鐘的的口語作文,同樣錄音,再聽并找出不足與進步,繼續(xù)作三分鐘口語作文.這是高級口語訓練,效果不俗.
　　(7). Retelling exercise: Retell some articles or English
　　stories in our own words.
　　
　　復述練習:最簡單也是最有效的口語學習方法.從治本上攻克英文的方法,特別適合初學者和中級學者,用自己的話背頌所聽的英語故事或文章短文,應(yīng)該大量地練習.
　　(8). If possible, we may read some English tongue twisters
　　loudly and quickly with one or two cakes of candy in our mouth
　　(just as the Chinese cross-talk actors do.) to train our oral
　　cavity muscle and tongues suitable for English pronunciation.
　　
　　如果可能我們也可以大聲且快速朗讀英文繞口令(就象相聲演員練嘴),還可以同時口中含塊糖以加大強化訓練的力度.這樣來強我們的口腔肌肉迅速適應(yīng)英文發(fā)音,使我們的口語相當流利,清晰,而且還有自信.例如:
　　☆A big black bug bit the back of a big black bear. The big
　　black bear bit back the big black bug.
　　
　　☆This fish has a thin fin; That fish has a fat fin;
　　This fish is a fish that has a thinner fin than that fish.
　　
　　(9). Paying more attention to phrases and small words as one
　　major shortcoming of Chinese English (especially Chinese oral
　　English) is that Chinese students tend to use big words in their
　　oral language, but the idiomatic oral English is abundant with
　　short, active and vivid phrases. And most of such phrases are
　　made of small words.
　　
　　特別注意短語(詞組)和小詞的運用,中國式的英語尤其是口語一個很大的缺點就是中國學生喜歡用大詞,而真正地道的英語口語確是充滿著短小,活潑,生動的短語,富有生氣.而這些短語大部分有小詞構(gòu)成.
　　 (10) Thinking in English.英語思維的培養(yǎng)。
　　
　　 1. 大量根據(jù)圖片來了解生詞的含義,故事的情節(jié).這是少兒英語中常用的方法,也試用于成人.
　　 2. 習慣于使用英-英字典而不是英-漢字典會起相當重要的作用.
　　 3. 加強聽力訓練,尤其是聽用英語解釋英語的課程講解.
　　 4. 如果沒有機會擁有封閉的語言環(huán)境的話, 就最好嘗試一下自我封閉語言環(huán)境的創(chuàng)造與訓練.如:強迫自己在一周內(nèi)所有要表達的話,全部用英語表達.只要你能堅持一周,效果就相當明顯,而無論你所表達的英語有多糟!.
　　 (11). Oral English has its own features, but it is closely
　　combined with other aspects of English, for example, writing may
　　make oral English precise and accurate.

Off 的妙用
1. I am off today.
我今天不用上班.
一講到上班或是工作, 許多人的直覺反應(yīng)就是 work, 所以 "我今天不用上班" 這句話說出來很容易就變成 "I don‘t have to work today." 但事實上呢? 老美習慣上會用 off 來代表一個人不用工作, 或是某家店不開張.  例如 "I am off." 就是我不上班, 而 "We are off today." 則可以用來指"今天我們不開張." .
2.She lives off campus.她在校外住
這是另一個用 off 用得很漂亮的例子.   我剛來美國時常常會把住在校外翻成, live outside the campus. 相信這也是許多人的通病.  其實老美就簡簡單單用一個 off campus 就代表校外, on campus 就代表校內(nèi).  我再舉一個簡單的例子, 例如你想跟別人說我要搬出去校外住, 這句話用口語的說法就是 "I want to move off campus."
另外要是有老美跟你說, "I live off Buford Highway." 這句話又是什么意思呢? 由于 Buford Highway 是一條路的名字, 我想當然是不會有人住在馬路中間吧! 所以在這里 off Buford Highway 就是指離開這條馬路有一段距離的地方, 要到他們家可能要先經(jīng)過這條 Buford Highway, 之后可能再轉(zhuǎn)進一條小路再開一陣子.  這就是 off the road 的正確用法啦.
3. Off my sofa.
給我從沙發(fā)上下來.
Off 也可能當動詞用喔! 想想你們家有個小孩踩上沙發(fā)上跳啊跳, 你看了粉火大, 想要叫他下來要怎么說呢? 簡簡單單, 就是 "Off my sofa." 完整的講法其實應(yīng)該是 "Keep off my sofa." 或是 "Keep away from my sofa." 但是單講 "Off my sofa." 則是老美非常喜歡的用法.
許多 off 的用法其實都是從 keep off 或是 get off 演變過來的.   例如大家知道上車用 get on, 下車用 get off, 所以有時候老美就乾脆簡稱 on 和 off, 例如我們學校開校車的伯伯每次有幾個人上車, 幾個人下車他都會報出來, 例如 Three on, two off. 就是三個人上車, 兩個人下車的意思.
4. Tell her the whole thing is off.
告訴她整件事己經(jīng)取消了.
記得有一次跟幾個好友約好了要去打球, 沒想到天公不作美, 出發(fā)前居然下起大雨來, 這場球自然是打不成了. 有人要我去通知另一個人球賽已經(jīng)取消了, 他就是這么跟我說的, "Tell her the whole thing is off." 這句話我覺得講得真的是太好了, (所以才會被我收錄啦!) 因為沒想到一件事被取消可以用 be canceled 之外, 居然也可以用 off. 而且聽來似乎更簡單明了.
5. I am off the hook now.
我解脫了.
想像你自己是一條魚, 有一天不小心因為貪吃被人給釣到了, 幾經(jīng)奮力掙扎之后才得以擺脫魚鉤, (off the hook) 你能想像這是什么樣的感覺嗎? 沒錯, 就是如釋重負.   以前小笨霖的室友最喜歡用這個成語了, 例如考試剛考完, 他就會說, "I am off the hook now." 或是把女朋友送走之后, 他也喜歡說, "I am off the hook now."
6. My girlfriend and I have been on and off, on and off several times.
我跟我女朋友分分合合好幾次了.
這句話是我看電視劇 Friends (六人行) 學來的.  劇中的女主角 Rachel (注1) 和男主角 Ross 之間分分合合不知多少回.   后來好不容易  Ross 終于結(jié)婚了, 娶了一個英國的女生叫 Emily 當老婆. 在婚禮之前 Rachel 就很感傷地說, "I am Ross have been on and off, on and off; but I feel someday we will be on." (我跟 Ross 分分合合好幾回了, 但我總覺得有一天我們又能重新再一起.) 所以要是有人跟你提到 on-and-off  relatioship 時, 你就應(yīng)該知道他指的是"分分合合"的戀情了.
7. Hands off.
把手拿開.
Hands off 是指把手拿開的意思, 例如有小孩子看到媽媽煮了什么好吃的東西, 就一直想偷吃, 這時媽媽就可以訓斥他, Hands off.  也就完全等于 keep your hands off the food 的意思.  又例如有人把手搭在你肩上, 讓你覺得很不舒服, 這種情況也可以警告他說, "Hand off."
8. I am off to bed right now.
我要上床去睡覺了.
上床睡覺居然可以說成 off to bed 這點很多人不知道吧! I‘m off to bed 這種用法遠比單說 go to bed 要來得傳神, 因為 off 本身就有休息的意思在內(nèi), 所以 off to bed 更能反映出上床是要去休息, 而不是上床去作愛作的事.
9. You got $20 off your first purchase.
第一次購買可以節(jié)省二十塊喔!
Off 這個字可說是小笨霖每次上街購物一定會特別注意的關(guān)鍵字, 因為幾乎所有的商家都會利用折扣來促銷. 像是 30% off 就是打七折, 而 $20 off 就是省二十塊的意思.
講到 off 是打折的意思, 就不能不談我曾鬧過的一個笑話.   大家知道留學生活中最快樂的事是什么嗎? 就是當你的打印機墨水用完了, 你就剛好看到一張 $20 off 的打印機墨水折價卷, 叫我怎能不高興地大聲唱歌呢? 結(jié)果當我興沖沖地到了結(jié)帳的時候, 仔細一看, 才知道原來是我把 $2 Off, 看成了 $20 Off. 害我當場就虧了..
10. Could you off my computer?
你能不能關(guān)掉我的計算機?
介紹最后一種 off 的慣用法, 就是老美常會把 turn off 簡稱  off, 例如 off my computer 就是指關(guān)上我的計算機.  不過奇怪的是, turn off 可以簡略成 off, turn on 就沒有人簡稱 on 的.  這點我也覺得蠻怪的.
1. Do you have any pet peeve?
　　你有什麼樣的怪毛病嗎?
　　所謂的 pet peeve 就是個人生活習慣上的一些小毛病， 例如有些人不喜歡別人碰他的電腦， 要是你碰他的電腦他就會不高興, 這就是所謂的 pet peeve。 (而非 bad habit.) 通常 pet peeve 都是比較無傷大雅的小毛病, 幾乎每個人都有屬於他自己的 pet peeve。 所以就有老美跟我說過， “Everybody has his pet peeve.” 當然 pet peeve 也常常成為老美談話之間彼此開玩笑的話題。 記得 “Friends” 有一集就是兩邊人馬在比快問快答， 而其中有一類的問題就是 pet peeves，蠻有意思的。
　　如果是這個壞習慣大到會影響別人，像是在公共場所老是講話很大聲， 這就不是 pet peeve, 而要用 annoying 來形容。 例如我就常聽老美抱怨, “Don’t you think he is annoying?” (你不覺得他很煩嗎?)
　　2. Maybe I’m going out on a limb, but I think we still have to invest it.
　　或許這麼作有點冒險， 但我想我們還是要投資它。
　　一般人想到冒險， 直覺的反應(yīng)就是：“It’s risky” 或是 “It’s dangerous.” 但是囗語上老美喜歡說，“I’m going out on a limb.” 來表示這件事需要冒險。這個 limb 原意是指樹枝。 想像當你爬樹時爬到小樹枝上去了，你是不是不知小樹枝什麼時候會斷掉？ 這種不確定的危機感， 就是為什麼老美要用 “Go out on a limb.”來表示冒險的原因了。 例如你來到一個清澈的河邊， 你很想下去游泳， 但四周又沒有救生員， 這時你就可以說, “Maybe I’m going out on a limb, but I think I am gonna try it.” (我知道這麼作有點冒險, 但我還是要試試看)。
　　3. I don’t have skeleton in my closet.
　　我沒有什麼不可告人的秘密。
　　每次競選期間一到， 一定會看到候選人爭相證明自己的過去是清白的， 沒有什麼不可告人的秘密。 這句話在英文里要怎麼講呢? 當然最簡單的說法就是“I don’t have any secret in the past.” 但是這樣的說法不如俚語的用法 “I don’t have skeleton in my closet” 來得傳神。在這里 skeleton 是指骷髏， 而 closet 是指衣柜的意思， 各位不難想像： 一個人把骷髏藏在自己的衣柜里作什麼? 一定是有不可告人的秘密。 例如你在高中時考試作弊被抓到， 還被記了一個大過， 但你長大之後這件事再也沒有人提過， 所以你也不想別人知道。 這件考試作弊就變成是你的 skeleton in the closet。
　　有時候我自己也會別出心裁， 把這句話改變一下， 展現(xiàn)一下自己的幽默感。 例如有次我室友不讓我進他房里， 我就用這句話虧他，“Do you have any skeleton in your room?” (你房里是不是有什麼不可告人的秘密??？) 當然 in your room 是我自己改的， 但在那樣的情況下， 卻有另一番的味道。
　　4. Are you sure you are going to set us up?
　　　你確定你要幫我們制造機會嗎?
　　在英文里制造機會可不是 make a chance 喔！ 雖然這是大家最自然會想到的說法。 正確的說法應(yīng)該用 set up 這個片語， 例如 set you up 就是幫你制造機會的意思。 另外， 老美也很喜歡用 fix up 和 hook up 來表示撮合某人。例如你有一個妹妹長得還可以， 你想把她介紹給你同學， 你就可以跟你同學說，“Do you like my sister? I can fix you up.” (你喜歡我妹妹嗎? 我可以撮合你們。)
　　5. Probably. It’s still up in the air.
　　　大概吧。 但還不確定。
　　大家都應(yīng)該常常有和別人相約的經(jīng)驗吧！ 其實和別人相約是一件很不容易的事情。 一開始沒女朋友覺得沒人陪不想出門， 但就算有人陪了卻又不知要去哪里，而就算知道要去哪里， 又不知道要作什麼， 不知道各位有沒有這樣的經(jīng)驗： 你問他我們今天見面要作什麼， 他說我也不知道， 到時再看看吧。 其實這種情形中外皆然， 各位不必驚訝。 到時候再看看也是老美常說的一句話, 簡單的講法就是， “I haven’t decided yet.” “I haven’t made my mind yet.” 或是 “We’ll see.”就可以了， 不然的話你也可以小小地賣弄一下英文， “It’s up in the air.”
　　另外 “It’s up in the air.” 比較俏皮的翻法就是: “八字還沒一撇呢!” 例如別人問你， “Are you dating Jennifer now?” (你跟 Jennifer 開始在約會了嗎?) 你就可以答, “It’s up in the air.” (八字還沒一撇呢！)
　　6. Okay. Just checking.
　　好吧。 我只是隨囗問問。
　　在囗語中我們常會講，沒什麼， 我只是隨囗問問而已。 這個隨囗問問在英文里當然你可以講， “Just asking.” 但事實上呢? 大多數(shù)的老美都會說, “Just checking.” Check 當動詞用是一般指 “檢查” 而言， 例如你想進來時可能忘了關(guān)門， 你就可以說, “Go check if the door is still open.” (檢查看看門是不是還開著。) 但是老美說， “Just checking.” 時， 這個 check 要翻譯成“隨囗問問” 會比較通順一些。這句話老美用得很多， 非常值得把它記下來。
　　另外有一種情形， 比如說我們說了一些無關(guān)痛癢的小事， 別人也沒聽楚， 當他再問你剛才說了些什麼事， 也許你不想再覆述一遍。 (反正是無關(guān)痛癢) 這時你可以說， “Just a though.”； “Just an idea.” 意思就是我只是隨囗說說而已。 不然的話也可以說， “Never mind.” (沒什麼大不了的, 不用操心。)
　　7. Do we need to hit a shower first?
　　我們需要先洗個澡嗎?
　　Hit 是一個老美很喜歡用， 但老中很不會用的動詞， hit 指的是去開始作某件事。 像是在囗語中老美喜歡講， “Let’s hit it.” 的意思。 例如搖滾樂團的主唱常會看看吉他手， 鍵盤手， 貝斯手準備好了沒， 如果大家都準備好了的話， 他就會大喊一聲，“Let’s hit it.” 這就代表 “Let’s go.” 的意思。
　　所以像是去洗澡， 我相信大多數(shù)的人都會講, take a shower。 但你如果學老美說“ hit a shower”， 那種層次立刻就不一樣。 類似的用法還有像是睡覺老美會說“ hit the bed”， 上路會說 “hit the road”， 都是蠻值得學的用法。
　　8. That’s OK.
　　不用了。
　　大家相信嗎？“That’s OK.” 和 “OK.” 指的是完全不同的意思喔。 如果別人問你要不要先洗個澡?。?你答，“That’s OK.” 就是不要的意思， 答 “OK.” 卻是要的意思。 像我剛來美國時因為不信邪， 結(jié)果每次都耍寶。
　　記得有一次老美來我家作客， 我問他, “Do you need something to drink?” 他說 “That’s OK.” 我想 “OK.” 就是好的意思啊， 當然趕緊把茶水奉上， 老美一臉莫名其妙的表情， 其實我這是錯誤的示范。 要記住, 當別人說， “That’s OK.” 就表示 “I’m fine.” 我很好， 你不用操心的意思， 言下之意就是你不用麻煩了， 我會照顧我自己。 所以要記住, “That’s OK.” 其實有沒關(guān)系， 無所謂的味道在里面。所以如果你要明確的拒絕的話， 可以這麼說, “That’s OK. I don’t need anything to drink.”
　　9. Just right place, right time.
　　只不過是天時地利而已。
　　大多數(shù)的人想到幸運， 都會直覺反應(yīng) lucky， 但其實 lucky 有很多種表示法。 像有一次我問老美怎麼追到這麼一個如花似玉的女朋友， 他回答我, “Just right place, right time.” 我一聽就立刻聯(lián)想到了中文里的“天時地利人和” 這句話， 沒想到英語里就這麼簡單，“Right place, right time.” 就解決了。 (或許應(yīng)該再加上 right girl?) 所以我也開始不單說, “I’m just lucky.” 了。 例如后來有一次老美問我為什麼我有免費的 T 恤可拿， 我就很瀟灑地回答他， “Just right place, right time, no big deal.” (只不過時間地點剛好對了而已， 沒什麼大不了的. ) 事后想起來， 連自己都覺得很得意。
　　10. Same here.
　　我也是。
　　我想當大家看到中文 “我也是” 的時候， 百分之九十九的人 “me too.” 會立刻脫囗而出。 甚至有些人還會說， “So do I.” 但是說真的, 老美是會說， “me too.” 和 “So do I.” 沒錯， 但好像太平常了一點， (大概是因為這些用法我上國中的時候就知道了吧！)
　　我覺得比較酷一點的講法應(yīng)該是， “same here.” 它完完全全就等於 “me too.” 例如上網(wǎng)聊天最後大家常會說， “All right. I have to go to bed now.” (好吧, 我該去睡覺了。) 這時對方就可以回答，“same here.” 表示我也該睡覺了。 或是像老美在彼此自我介紹時, 通常一個會先說, “Nice to meet you.” 另外一個人就會說， “me too.” 但我也聽過老美說， “same here.” 所以這個 “same here.” 是完完全全等於 “me too.” 的。
　　另外 ditto 這個用法也流行過好一陣子， 它的意思是， “同上” 當然也就等於 “me too” 的意思啦。 例如最有名的例子， 在第六感生死戀 (Ghost) 里， Demi Moore 和 Patrick Swayze 的對話, “I love you.” “Ditto.”
