1.Whatever a learner of English reads, he should, in my opinion, regard the language as the main thing.
如果把閱讀英文作為英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的方式,不管是故事還是小說(shuō),更多是要關(guān)注它的語(yǔ)言而不是情節(jié)。回想自己這一年來(lái)讀的薄荷英語(yǔ)和其他的電子英文小說(shuō),感覺(jué)除了故事情節(jié)什么也沒(méi)留下,對(duì)于語(yǔ)言的大多停留在理解文本和語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)上面,其它的很少關(guān)注,也沒(méi)留意什么地道的表達(dá),其實(shí)在Eric的讀書(shū)會(huì)里他一直就是這樣的觀點(diǎn),學(xué)英文順帶學(xué)表達(dá),積累詞匯,只怪自己沒(méi)有堅(jiān)持,還是不能讓自己讀過(guò)的東西成為過(guò)眼云煙。
2.Good speaking leads to good writting.
To learn speak is a very good way to learn to write.
The pen cannot go wrong where the tongue goes right.
能說(shuō)就能寫(xiě),寫(xiě)不好歸咎于自己口語(yǔ)表達(dá)不好。有時(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)很簡(jiǎn)單的表達(dá)用英語(yǔ)卻表達(dá)不出來(lái),原因就在于平時(shí)不太注意那些簡(jiǎn)單的表達(dá),總以為“這個(gè)太簡(jiǎn)單了,誰(shuí)不會(huì)啊!”結(jié)果一張嘴,一提筆,全是中式英語(yǔ)。
Many of the ideas and thoughts you often have occassion to express have already been expressed by others before you.Read any page in any book carefully, and you will perhaps find some expressions that will help you to say things. Many such expressions may seem to you to be too simple to deserve much attention, but the fact is that you cannot invent them, nor can you use them unless you have noted them.
3.By knowing a word means konwing its true sense or senses instead of merely konwing one or more of what we call its Han equivalents.
單詞不能僅僅局限于他的漢語(yǔ)意思,更多的是要關(guān)注他的用法,用法,用法。
