第一章 概述
筆者深信有興趣看本文的讀者，必定是對英語口語學(xué)習(xí)感興趣的人，而對于英語的學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該也會有幾年的歷史。有一個問題，不知道大家有沒有問過自己，“我們學(xué)習(xí)英語學(xué)了這么多年，用了自己多少的精力，花費了自己多少的金錢，可學(xué)來的英語是用來做什么呢？”
那么，到底什么是英語？什么又是語言呢？在美國傳統(tǒng)字典里對語言Language的解釋是：The use by human beings of voice sounds, and often written symbols representing these sounds, in organized combinations and patterns in order to express and communicate thoughts and feelings. 翻譯成漢語就是：人類聲音的使用，并且經(jīng)常是代表這些聲音的文字符號，并以有條理的組合和形式出現(xiàn)，目的是為了表達和交流思想和感情。
簡而言之，語言包括漢語、英語、法語、德語、日語、韓語等等，是人們用來交流和溝通的工具。工具誕生和存在的意義是被有效的使用，而不是讓人們終生學(xué)習(xí)“使用說明”和“制作方法”。語言的應(yīng)用無外乎兩個方面，讀和寫。盡管絕大部分的國人對于英文寫作的水平有限，但是經(jīng)歷了這么多年的考試的歷練，至少還是得到了一定程度的鍛煉，可以應(yīng)付一般的交流，當(dāng)然是在沒有十分苛刻要求的前提下。
盡管語言最主要的應(yīng)用是說，通過聲音的交流。很不幸，在傳統(tǒng)教育的體制下，英語語言表述的能力被殘忍并有效的忽略了，原因很簡單，因為中考不考，高考也不考，甚至大學(xué)的畢業(yè)證、學(xué)位證和口語能力也沒有直接的在考核方面的掛鉤。試想如果我們從小一路走來，在學(xué)習(xí)英語的時候，口語能力的考核就開始要求。那么在大學(xué)畢業(yè)的時候，每一個同學(xué)都可以說一口倍兒地道的帶有中式口音的英語了。
學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的是用來與人交流和溝通的，如果不想讓自己多年學(xué)習(xí)英語的辛苦付諸東流，從現(xiàn)在起，就要開始練習(xí)開口說了！
筆者對于英語的學(xué)習(xí)和研究也有十幾年的歷史，對于口語的水平也是略通皮毛。點滴心得希望與大家分享。
英語口語的學(xué)習(xí)其實與嬰兒學(xué)話的過程是一樣的。再次問一下自己，“如果以分鐘累加計算，我們曾經(jīng)開口講英語的時間是多少呢？”注意，此處一定是自己開口說的時間，是與 他人用英語交談的時間減去他人講話時間。一個星期！相信這是一個比較實際的平均值，可能還有略低。大家用自己的發(fā)達腦細胞琢磨一下，一個星期就想把英語說的流利地道，這可能嗎？充其量也就是一個美國幼兒園水平，絕對不會超過小學(xué)生水平。
嬰兒是如何學(xué)會開口講話的呢？無論任何國家任何地區(qū)任何民族的小孩子的語言能力都是從叫爸爸媽媽開始，逐漸說一些簡單的并且一定程度上帶有語法錯誤或者詞匯使用不當(dāng)?shù)木渥樱缓蟛攀橇囊恍┖唵蔚娜粘５脑掝}，（顯然，談朝核問題是不行的），隨著接受家庭、學(xué)校和社會教育，5年左右的時間就可以很流暢應(yīng)用英語了。
所以，不要幻想，我們是大學(xué)生或者成年人，就要談那些用漢語可以隨心所欲交流的生僻的話題，比如軍事、歷史、政治、文學(xué)等等。首先，我們要很謙虛謹慎的給自己一個定位——我們僅僅是幼兒園以下的水平。
如果我們可以很平和的接受自己的定位，那么，英語口語學(xué)習(xí)的征途就可以啟程了！在后面的幾個章節(jié)中，對于口語的練習(xí)都有詳細的方法和計劃。希望大家可以按照要求不斷地練習(xí)，也祝福大家在口語能力方面會有一個質(zhì)的飛躍！
本文，盡量在書寫和材料篩選上增強知識性和趣味性，并認真的做了一些修訂，但由于筆者水平有限，難免會有諸多的錯誤和不足！歡迎大家批評指正交流�。╠ouglas_zhao@163.com）

2． XUZHOU, Jiangsu - One of China's high-speed trains broke the world record for unmodified commercial use on Friday during trial service, the Ministry of Railways said
The train CRH380A hit a speed of 486.1 kms per hour on the tracks between Zaozhuang city of Shandong province and Bengbu city in eastern Anhui province, which form a segment of the world's longest high-speed rail line linking Beijing and Shanghai
The train's previous speed record was 416.6 kms per hour set on Sept 28 during its run between Shanghai and Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang province
"It not only marks a milestone in the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, but also is a major achievement of China's technology innovation," said Wang Yongping, spokesman of the Ministry of Railways (MOR)
It shows China leads the world in high-speed railway development, he said
3． A new dawn in communications is heralded by the launch of the UK's first English-language Chinese paper
China Daily, China's leading English-language newspaper, will appear as a new weekly edition on UK news stands from Friday, December 3
Eager to help bridge the current affairs gap that exists between China and Europe, China Daily European Weekly follows the highly successful launch of the China Daily US and Hong Kong editions. Today, China Daily has a worldwide circulation of nearly 400,000. The European edition will be distributed in the UK and from Brussels, building on China Daily's aspiration to be a newspaper which provides a window for China to understand and be understood by the world.
It will cover politics, business, culture and society, delivering in-depth and intelligent analysis of news and issues of interest to both European and Chinese readers
Renzhong Zhi, General Manager of China Daily UK, said: "We identified a gap to provide a useful source of news and analysis to European businesses seeking to better understand and engage with China. As more partnerships develop between China and the West, it is crucial that there exists a regular source of insight on changing trends
While there is an element of breaking news, the majority of the paper seeks to provide a more in-depth review of headlines of the week – a useful guide to help readers understand the emerging opportunities that exist between China and Europe," he added
China Daily European Weekly is available from news agents and through distributors from 3 December 2010
4． A Bangladeshi-flagged ship is believed to have been seized by pirates off southern India, say shipping officials.
The MV Jahan Moni was attacked after a long pursuit near the Lakshadweep group of islands, some 300km (185 miles) from the Indian coast.
The ship, with 25 Bangladeshi crew on board, was on its way from Singapore to Europe via the Suez Canal.
Bangladeshi Rear Admiral Bazlur Rahman said the crew had raised the alarm and the ship was now moving erratically.
"We lost contact with the ship at 5.38pm (1138 GMT) Bangladesh time after it was attacked by pirates for the second time. We suspect the ship has been captured by the pirates," Adm Rahman told the AFP news agency.
"All symptoms are there that the pirates have taken control of the ship
"It was chased by the pirates for more than an hour," said Adm Rahman, adding that the boat had sent out a distress signal.
"Now it is showing erratic movement.”
The Bangladesh Shipping Department said it had sought help from the Indian coastguard and from anti-piracy teams in Dubai and Singapore.
Several nations are involved in operations to tackle Somalia-based piracy in the busy shipping lanes of the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
Somali pirates have been seizing ships increasingly far away from their homeland, but have never been known to operate so close to India.
5． Iran's intelligence minister says the country has made a number of arrests following attacks on two prominent nuclear scientists in Tehran on Monday.
One scientist was killed and another left seriously injured.
Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said a number of people were identified and arrested in connection with what he called the two terrorist attacks
Mr Moslehi did not identify the suspects, nor did he say how many people had been arrested.
But he did repeat Iran's claim that the intelligence services of the US, Britain, and Israel were responsible for the attacks
The two scientists, Majid Shahriari and Fereydoon Abbasi, were targeted separately as each drove to work on Monday morning.
Reports said motorcyclists drove alongside the scientists' cars, attached magnetised bombs to the side of the vehicles, and then drove away.
The bombs exploded, killing Dr Shahriari and seriously injuring Dr Abbasi.
The attacks and subsequent arrests come just a few days before Iran is due to restart talks on its nuclear programme with the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.
6． The Obama administration is launching a national competition called Race to the Top. States will compete for more than four billion dollars in grants to support the best plans for improving schools. President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced the details last week.
BARACK OBAMA: "This competition will not be based on politics or ideology or the preferences of a particular interest group. Instead, it will be based on a simple principle: whether a state is ready to do what works. We will use the best evidence available to determine whether a state can meet a few key benchmarks for reform. And states that outperform. The rest will be rewarded with a grant.”
The president wants the United States to regain the world's highest college graduation rates, especially in math and science. His target is two thousand twenty. But he says the education system is "falling short" and "countries that out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow.”
The United States is one of thirty countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The OECD has the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA. Every three years PISA measures the performance of fifteen-year-olds.
In two thousand six, the United States had lower scores in mathematics than twenty-three of the other twenty-nine OECD countries. Sixteen countries did better in science.
7． French President Nicolas Sarkozy is due to hold key talks on civil nuclear cooperation with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The two parties are expected to sign an agreement for the construction of two French nuclear reactors in India, during the meeting in Delhi.
France is a leading world exporter of civilian nuclear technology.
Mr Sarkozy is on a four-day official visit to India. On Saturday, he visited a space research facility in Bangalore.
The president has backed India's bid for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council and supported India's membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), a gathering of countries which export civil nuclear technology.
Reports say that the two countries are likely to sign an agreement paving the way for two French reactors worth nearly ￡6.3bn ($10bn) to be constructed in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
Correspondents say that the deal will be good news for India - which is desperately short of energy to fuel its booming economy.
France is the world's second largest producer of nuclear energy after the United States.
It hopes to be at the forefront of an international revival of the industry which analysts say will benefit from worries about global warming and soaring energy prices.
India has 22 nuclear reactors and is seeking to expand its nuclear energy sector, opening up a market estimated at ￡90bn ($142bn) over 15 years.
The country - now seen as a strategic partner for both the European Union and the US - has a population of 1.1 billion.
It gets only a tiny fraction of its electricity from nuclear power.
Supporters of the deal say that having more nuclear plants in India could help reduce global demand for oil and gas while at the same time significantly reducing the country's pollution levels.
8． Eurozone retail sales returned to growth in October, following two months of falls, figures have shown.
Sales in October were up by 0.5% from September, and 1.8% higher than a year ago, Eurostat said.
The increase was bigger than analysts' forecasts for a 0.2% rise, however there were big variations between different eurozone countries.
German retail sales jumped by 2.3% in October, whereas in France sales were down by 0.1%.
Eurostat said that eurozone sales of food, drink and tobacco rose by 1% in October, whereas non-food sales increased by just 0.1%.
For the European Union as a whole, retail sales were up by 0.4% in October, and also showed a 1.8% annual increase.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European Economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "It must be borne in mind that the fundamentals are still not that great for consumer spending given that the eurozone unemployment rate is currently at a 12-year high of 10.1%, wage growth is muted, and tighter fiscal policy will increasingly kick in across the region over the coming months.
"The suspicion is therefore that eurozone consumers will remain pretty cautious in their spending."
基礎(chǔ)練習(xí)部分，無論是詞匯還是句型的難度上都較為簡單。剛開始練習(xí)的時候比較容易建立自信心，但是由于練習(xí)的數(shù)量較大，所以，真心希望自己口語水平能夠提高的朋友一定要堅持。
后面的強化訓(xùn)練部分，都來源于chinadaily， BBC和VOA等知名網(wǎng)站的原文，所以難度偏高，閱讀英文的原文，然后再進行復(fù)述，這是鍛煉和提高自己英式思維和擴大自己詞匯量的最佳途徑。
建議剛開始訓(xùn)練的時候，只是簡單的概括性復(fù)述文章的主要內(nèi)容，隨著自己水平的提升，可以側(cè)重于一些細節(jié)的部分。魔鬼藏在細節(jié)當(dāng)中，所以，檢驗自己水平高低的方法，就可以通過自己對細節(jié)的掌控程度來判斷。
第四章 常用萬能詞匯點點通
相信大多數(shù)人在練習(xí)或者使用口語時，習(xí)慣于用漢語組織語言，然后再翻譯成英文。這樣勢必會帶來一個問題，漢語表達中的某個詞匯在自己有限的英文詞庫中找不到與之完全匹配的單詞。表現(xiàn)出來的結(jié)果就是說著說著突然停了下來，不吭聲，或者恩啊不斷。
那么在英語中，有沒有一些萬能詞匯可以解決這種尷尬的局面呢？
結(jié)果是肯定的。在本章中，我們就重點向大家介紹一下英語交流中經(jīng)常使用的一些很簡單卻很實用的萬能詞匯。
萬能名詞：
首先，向大家介紹的是萬能的名詞。在漢語里面我們經(jīng)常用到的一個名詞，可以代替任何的物品，這個詞就是“東西”。 對于東西一次的來歷有多種說法，其中一種的解釋是：南宋大學(xué)者朱熹，一天要去拜訪他的老友盛溫和，正趕上盛先生提著籃子上街買菜。朱熹問道：“你這是要去哪里��？”盛先生回答：“上街買東西�！敝祆浜芎闷�，又問：“那么南北也可以買嗎？”盛溫和回答說：“在五行上，東為木，西為金，我的籃子可以裝木也可以裝金，所以可以裝東西；南為火，北為水，籃子不能裝火和水，所以不能裝南北�！�
英語中有一個詞匯英語很廣泛，那就是something，既可以指代東西，還可以指代事情。那么它的妙處在哪里呢？即使我們的英文的詞匯量已經(jīng)很大了，但是在說英語的時候還是會遇到很名詞不知道應(yīng)該如何說。比如說：電視遙控器。那么我們就可以這樣講：“I need something to control the TV, like turning it on or changing channels.”這樣別人就可以完全理解，你需要的是電視遙控器。同樣，比如我們想說去為菜園子中的蔬菜施肥，但一時間找不到施肥應(yīng)該如何講，其實可以簡單的表述為：“I am going to my vegetable garden to add something to my plants to make sure them grow better.”這樣的表述可能不是很準(zhǔn)確，但是總要好過抓耳撓腮后仍找不到答案的落寞。
萬能形容詞：
眾所周知，形容詞分為褒義詞，貶義詞和中性詞。多數(shù)的褒義詞的祖師爺都是一個詞——好；貶義詞應(yīng)該都起源于一個詞——壞；常見中性詞都來自一個詞——還可以。基于這種分析，那么萬能的英語形容詞現(xiàn)在就可以橫空出世了。
褒義形容詞之間的區(qū)別在于針對的內(nèi)容和程度的不同，那么大部分的褒義詞都可以用一個單詞good概括，并加入所強調(diào)的內(nèi)容或者程度即可。當(dāng)然，這種所謂的萬能詞匯，在意思的表達上面可能不夠準(zhǔn)確或者不夠全面，我們這里向大家介紹的也是僅僅是一種應(yīng)急的方式和手段，我們可以通過做一些解釋和補充說明來避免產(chǎn)生歧義或者誤會。例如:
1. 他是善良的，我們就可以翻譯成：he has a good heart, and helps people all the time.
2. 他很聰明。 我們可以表述為：He has a good brain and could learn a lot in a shot time.
3. 他很勇敢。我們可以說：He is good with courage, and would do anything if needed.
同樣，貶義詞都可以總結(jié)為壞，bad成為貶義形容詞的一個代表，例如：
1． 他是一個邪惡的人。可以說：His mind is totally bad, and did many bad thing which is bad for others.
2． 這種生物實在是太丑陋了！我們不妨嘗試著表述為：This kind of creature is too bad looking.
3． 這個人沒有受過很高的教育，所以看起來有些粗魯。This man looks bad when doing things with no proper manner, as he is not well educated. 這句話中，bad when doing thing，的意思和粗魯感覺上有些偏差，所以，后面可以加上一句with no proper manner加以進一步的解釋說明，使句子更加準(zhǔn)確。
或許你已經(jīng)猜到了，應(yīng)對中性詞最好的替補就是：OK！這個詞我們再熟悉不過了。讓我們一起來看一下吧：
1． Tom對于昨天這件不愉快事情的處理是可以接受的。The way how Tom handled the unpleasant event yesterday is OK. 在本句中，OK的意思可以理解為“可以接受的”。
2． 把會議的時間定在下周一是合適的。It is OK that we schedule the meeting on next Monday。 這里，OK的意思就是合適的。
3． 在這場激烈的爭論中，我的弟弟的觀點是中立的。The point of my little brother is OK with everyone in the serious argument。
在我們有限的可能存在偏差的些許例句中，您可能已經(jīng)漸漸感覺到一點點這句用法的好處，對于這種用法掌握的熟練程度，還需要大家在以后的日常生活交流中仔細的琢磨、逐步的完善，并且只有堅持下來，才能看到它的效果。
萬能動詞：
有些外國人認為中國人并不熱情好客，愿意創(chuàng)造并維護世界和平，而是一個好戰(zhàn)的民族，因為在漢語中做太多的事情是都使用一個動詞：打。比如：打籃球，打牌，打針，打飯，打車，打開電視，打赤腳，打醬油，打電話，甚至打Kiss�！按颉币呀�(jīng)完全溶于了我們的衣食住行生活中的方方面面�！按颉币矌缀醭蔀榱艘粋�漢語中的萬能詞匯。
不難想象在英語中，同樣存在這與“打”承擔(dān)者同樣重要角色的詞匯：do，get，take，have, make等等。下面讓我們來詳細的了解一下。
DO：
1． 他只是執(zhí)行自己的任務(wù)而已。He just did his own task.
2． 認真工作就是履行自我職責(zé)。Hard working is the right way to do one’s duty.
3． 他所犯的罪早晚要遭到責(zé)罰的。Sooner or later, he will be punished against the crime done by himself.
4． 本周末他們要在這里為孩子們演一出戲，莉莉扮演美麗的公主。They are going to do a play for children here this weekend; Lily is going to do the beautiful princess.
5． 道格拉斯從小就很喜歡模仿邁克杰克遜。Douglas loves to do MJ since he was a little boy.
6． 這樣做對你不會產(chǎn)生任何正面的影響。It will not do any good to you if you do so.
7． 在你的朋友來訪之前，請你整理好你的房間。Please do your room carefully before your friends get here.
8． 吃過飯通常我都會幫媽媽清洗盤子。I always help my mother to do the dishes after dinner.
9． 換一種方法也許可以湊效。Probably it would do if we find another way.
GET:
1. 吉姆收到一封來自美國的郵件。Jim gets a mail for America.
2. 我們花了一天的時間才抵達紐約。It takes us whole day to get New York.
3. 給我拿一本數(shù)過來。Please get me a book.
4. 我們剛剛?cè)コ匈I了幾瓶飲料。We just went to supermarket and got bottles of drink.
5. 他在報紙上得知他最好的朋友回國了。He got the news that his best friend is back from newspaper.
6. 媽媽每天下午5點鐘才能到家。My mother gets home at 5:00pm everyday.
7. 因為堵車，丹尼斯沒有趕上飛機。Denies didn’t get his flight due to traffic jam.
8. 我們一直到昨天晚上11點鐘，才聯(lián)系上總經(jīng)理。We didn’t get general manager until 11:00 pm yesterday.
9. 今天太冷了，要多穿一點，否則，你會患上流感的。It is too cold today, you should wear more, otherwise you would probably get the flu.
10. 你明白我說的問題了沒有？Do you get my question?
11. 祝你早日康復(fù)！I hope you get well soon! （此處get指進入或者過渡到某種狀態(tài)）
12. 請在11點之前幫我把這輛車修好。Please help me to get this car fixed before 11:00.（此處get指使某物/某人/某事進入某種狀態(tài)）
13. 我要去買一張歌碟。I’ve got to get a music disc.（此處，get指將要做某事）
14. 你難倒我了（你太牛了�。℡ou got me. （You got me在口語中使用較多，表示你太厲害了！你太出色了�。�
個人覺得現(xiàn)在的口語學(xué)習(xí)似乎進入一個誤區(qū)，計劃著每天我要用多長的時間來練習(xí)口語，比如晚上8點到11點，堅持三個月。其實大可不必�？谡Z的學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)其實可以利用我們一些很零散的時間。如果我們一個人去食堂或者去教室，那么在路上的時候我們就可以嘗試著小聲的對身邊的人或物進行描述。
在雅思口語考試的第二部分，也是最重要的一部分，有四種命題。事物、地點、人物和事件。我們的練習(xí)就可以基于以上的類別。比如我們看到一棵樹，那么我們就要想辦法對這棵樹進行描寫。相信剛開始大多數(shù)人在練習(xí)的時候會無話可說，或者說一兩句就結(jié)束了。分享給大家一個思路，按照一個物體的形狀、大小、顏色、材質(zhì)等外觀上入手，然后進而引申到他的用途；我們還可以最一些適當(dāng)?shù)穆?lián)想，看到這棵樹讓我想起爺爺家后院的那棵樹，小時候經(jīng)常在那里玩耍等等。最后做一個淺顯的分析，推測或者評論。那么我們表述的內(nèi)容顯得很豐富了。
For example: I see a big tree in front of me, it is very tall, nearly 10 meters high. Look like a big umbrella of natural. There are many branches, it is spring right now, so all the leaves are green at this moment. (以上是基于外觀的描述)
It reminds me an old tree of my hometown, that one is not so big, but a lot of kids playing under it when I was a little boy, especially in summer, it is much cooler to stay under the tree. (做一些適當(dāng)?shù)穆?lián)想）
I love tree, because trees could make the air fresher and provide the wood material for human being, also they are home to many kinds of animals. But the number of trees is dereasing right now along with the the enviroment being destroied. I hope everyone who is living on earthe could begin to protect trees, protect this world.(分析，推測和評論)
上面只是舉了一個簡單的例子。這種方法同樣適用與人物，和地點的描述。當(dāng)然練習(xí)的時間也不局限于孤單走上路上的時候，甚至吃飯，上廁所，或者晚上失眠的時候。呵呵
一點建議供大家參考！

繼續(xù)詳細講解萬能詞匯：
首先，我們說萬能名詞，英語詞匯中存在數(shù)量巨大的名詞，名詞根據(jù)表達對象的性質(zhì)可以籠統(tǒng)的分成兩大類，一類是具體的名詞；一類是抽象名詞。具體類的名詞又可以分成三種：人物、事物和地點。上面的帖子是一個比較淺顯的入門級的介紹，舉得兩個例子都是事物，遙控器和肥料。
名稱 上一類別 上一類別 上一類別 上一類別
seabird bird animal creature something
novel book paper material something
professor teacher person human someone
classroom room building place somewhere
每一個名詞都有自己的一個屬性，因此我們可以追溯到他上一個類別，人物類最終可以歸結(jié)為someone或者somebody；事物類為something；地點類為somewhere。任何的名詞，如果我們不知道如何說的時候，轉(zhuǎn)換一下思路，用他的上一個類別做指代，然后加上必要的解釋和說明，意思就會變得更完整準(zhǔn)確。不多說，直接上例子：
我們在路上遇到自己的朋友，邀請對方和自己一起去書店買書。這時候我們可以說：Hi, would like go to book store with me, I need to buy a novel.
很不幸，如果我們不知道novel（小說）這個單詞，那么應(yīng)該如何處理呢？
首先，上升一個類別，用book代替。Would you like go to book shop with me, I need to buy a story book. 當(dāng)然，故事書和小說不完全一樣，我們還可以加一個更加詳細的說明。A story book about what happened between two persons who love each other. 這樣我們就表達出言情小說的意思了。
其次，我們還可以再上升一個類別，用tool代替。書籍是我們學(xué)習(xí)知識的工具。I need to by some paper which is printed with words telling people a love story.感覺上稍顯牽強，但是如果我們有一個語境，聯(lián)系到上下文，就很容易理解了。
最后，殺手锏級的重量詞匯，鼻祖級的單詞something登場。I need to buy something to read, and I like love stories. 強調(diào)一次，這樣做并不是鼓勵大家要按照這個套路去學(xué)習(xí)口語，這只是一種很無奈的保定的解決方案。如果大家有時間和精力，還是鼓勵去記憶更多的詞匯。
用something來代替很簡單，那么如何做進一步的解釋和說明呢？前面的帖子我們已經(jīng)談及描述一個物品的方法和思路，形狀、大小、形狀、材質(zhì)和用途等等。如果從外觀上很容易描述，那么我們就從外觀上入手，否則就從功能和或者用途上來描述。比如，我們生活中最常見的水water，如果從外觀上去說，那就是無色無味無毒的液體。顯然，表述起來稍顯吃力，最好還是從用途上加以說明。水是用來做什么的？但簡單了，用來喝的。答案也揭曉了。something to drink. 那么，會有人說，那還有可能是可口可樂呢，不一定是水！很好，下面我們再加入一個限定性的說明。Something to drink, you could get it from river, lake, or well. 這樣就排除可口可樂的可能行了。如果從河里面撈出來的可口可樂相信也沒人敢喝，那是別人扔的.再舉一個例子，前文談到的電視遙控器，如果從外觀上去描述，長方體，15cm左右長，用塑料材質(zhì)做成的，上面還有很多的按鍵，通過紅外線實現(xiàn)他的功能。顯然外觀很吃力，那么我們還是從功能上著手。遙控器是用來做什么的？
用來打開或者關(guān)閉電視，更改頻道的東西。
那么，我們就可以說： I need someting to control the TV turning it off and on or changing the chanels.
對于人物和地點的方法和物品的描述是一樣的。

前面對于萬能名詞的分析以及如何使用，都是針對于具體的名詞，都是我們生活中可以看得到摸得到的對象，我們分別可以用something，someone，somebody或者somewhere代替，并加以必要的解釋和說明。而在英語中還有一些抽象的詞匯，比如：喜怒哀樂，愛恨情仇。
顯然這些詞匯無法用something，someone，somebody或者somewhere來代替。那么我們應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對呢？
思路是一樣的，每一個名詞都有自己的屬性和類別。我們可以用它的上一級甚至上上一級詞匯代替，然后輔以解釋和說明。比如：love，愛是一種感覺或者感情，感受。可以做出如下解釋：love is kind of feeling that we would be dying without somebody or we would feel terrible if we could not see someone.萬能形容詞 練習(xí)篇
1.他是一個文武雙全的人才。
在翻譯這句話的時候有一個難點那就是文武雙全這個成語。前文在講解臭名昭著的時候已經(jīng)講解過了，對于這種我們沒有辦法駕馭的詞匯。我們必要先把漢語進行轉(zhuǎn)譯把難度降下來，然后在進行表述。
直譯：He is a good man who is good at both arts and physical skills.
文武雙全是一個褒義詞，使用good替換，并且加以詳細的解釋。文借用我們高中的時候的文理科的文arts，理科是science，大學(xué)里還有工科engineering。武，武功武術(shù)，我們可以根絕音譯kongfu，當(dāng)然老外也是懂得的。physical skill是武術(shù)的意思。這種翻譯相當(dāng)于根據(jù)字面的意思直譯。下面我們還可以看一下另一種譯法，我個人更傾向于這種。
意譯：He is a good man who is brilliant and powerful. 此處，brilliant指聰明的，暗指文化方面強悍。powerful有力量的，強大的，側(cè)重于體力體質(zhì)方面。這種說法雖然簡單和我們漢語的意思表面看起來稍有偏差，但是這種說法更符合英美人的習(xí)慣，是一種地道的易于理解的說法。2.此情此景令人難以忘懷。
The feeling we have and the beautiful thing we see at this moment is so good that we will not forget.
3.雖然他沒有取得我們的同意就擅自做主，但是也是可以理解的。
It is OK for us, though he made the decision without permission from us
4. 這個價位雖然不合理，但也是可以接受的。
The price is unreasonable but it is still OK for us.
5. 他做的都是一些令人發(fā)指的事情。
What he has done is so bad that making people very angry
6. 他的爸爸是一個臭名昭著的人。
His father has a very bad reputation
克服中式思維的方法有兩種：
第一種：按照我上面的方法，先嘗試著弱化自己的中式思維。強化英式思維是一個漫長的過程，在英式思維占主導(dǎo)之前，弱化中式思維算是一個過渡階段的解決方案。把復(fù)雜的漢語轉(zhuǎn)譯成簡單的已與表述的中文，然后再翻譯成英文，可以保證我們的口語說的很流利。
第二種：強化英式思維。最有效的辦法就是找難度適合的英文原文進行復(fù)述。文章的內(nèi)容最好涉及到生活的各個方面。英文復(fù)述，就是英對英的練習(xí)，其中不涉及到漢語思維。所以，在做復(fù)述練習(xí)的時候也一定要注意一點：第一遍再看英文的時候，一定不要去把文章翻譯成中文，而是去理解和想象文章表達的場景和意圖。我們再根據(jù)圖像或者場景去復(fù)述。比如，英文I see a big tree in front of the gate，那么我們的腦海中要浮現(xiàn)出一個畫面一個大門前面有一棵樹。而不是文字：有一棵樹在門前。
補充：如果你的口語基礎(chǔ)較好，詞匯量也夠大，那么建議直接看國外的新聞網(wǎng)站，比如：VOA和BBC等，然后進行復(fù)述練習(xí)。
如果基礎(chǔ)一般，那么建議參考新概念第二冊，比較淺顯的文章，很容易看懂，內(nèi)容也很豐富，不是十分枯燥。有些高手試著把新概念背下來，當(dāng)然這對于口語的提升也是有幫助的，但是太耗時了，而且對于口語提升的幫助要比復(fù)述的效果差。背誦是死記硬背，背下來卻很難實際應(yīng)用在交流中。就像一個人把各種武功的招數(shù)套路都背下來了，但是不一定會用，尤其是在實戰(zhàn)中。比如李連杰的套路做的就很好，而成龍的功夫則表現(xiàn)在生活中的各個方面。個人覺得，如果他們兩個打起來，成功獲勝的幾率高些。
所以，建議復(fù)述。
其實強化英式思維能力的關(guān)鍵在于建立英語和我們看到的場景和事件之間的一個很強的映射，比如我們看到阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字1，我們想到的應(yīng)該是11—>eleven，而不是11->十一 —>eleven。 在馬路上看到一輛車，首先想到的是Car，而不是車—>car。
前文已經(jīng)提過了，學(xué)習(xí)英語在于日積月累和生活中的方方面面。因此，您不一定每天抽出來3個小時來學(xué)習(xí)英語，任何時候都可以，比如，在桌子上看到一個杯子，你就可以對他進行一個簡單的描述。當(dāng)然，不要用漢語去組織語言然后翻譯，而是直接用英文描述，可以簡單一點。This is a cup, it is made of glass, it is not expensive, we could buy it everywhere like a supermarket. But I like it very much.

8． 曾經(jīng)有一份真誠的愛情擺在我的面前，我沒有珍惜，等到失去的時候才追悔莫及，人世間最痛苦的事情莫過于此。如果上天能夠給我一個重新來過的機會，我會對那個女孩子說三個字：‘我愛你’。如果非要給這份愛加上一個期限，我希望是，一萬年�！�
因為這是一段經(jīng)典和典型的臺詞，此處精講。
英文的翻譯講究信達雅三個境界，不僅筆譯如此，口譯也是如此：
由于本人水平有限，不敢在高手在眾多的天涯班門弄斧，只和大家分享一下自己的一點心得。不談信達雅，只談直譯版相當(dāng)于達的境界和意譯版相當(dāng)于信的級別。
先說直譯版：Once upon a time, （很多童話故事都是這樣開頭的）There's a piece of sincere love in front of me, I didn't treasure/ cherish. When I lost it, I regret deeply. There is nothing more painful than this in the world. If god could give me one more chance, I'd like to tell that girl, I love me, If I am reqested to give a timeline, I hope that will be ten thousand years.
以上的話如果是對一個中國人說，我相信他可以理解，而且是很理解。但是注意我們說英語的目的是和外國人交流。所以，說話時要考慮對方是否可以聽明白和理解。比如第一句，there is a piece of love in front of me, 首先，感情love 這個詞能否用 a piece of 來度量。我在google上面搜索了一下，應(yīng)該是有這種說法，但是我看過的電影或者聽過的歌曲里面似乎沒有聽過老外有過這樣的表述。另外就是感情擺在我的面前，貌似不符合老外的思維方式。這種方式值得商榷。還有就是最好的如果我非要加一段期限，如果翻譯成為：If you want to know how long time I will keep loving you. 感覺上更符合老外的用法。而最好的我希望是一萬年，ten thousand years，對于中國人的傳統(tǒng)文化一萬代表數(shù)量巨大，代表無盡或者永恒，但是英語中沒有這樣的解釋。老外更習(xí)慣的用法是forever，ever lasting, eternally。浪漫一點的說法可以是I will love till the end of the world. Or I will not stop loving you untill you stoping loving me.
因此，我個人更喜歡下面更為簡單的意譯版： A girl loved me, I didn't care. After she left me, I hated myself so much. It is the worst thing in the world. If god could give one one more chance, I will tell that girl I love you forever/till the end of the world.
這個版本的妙處在于淺顯易懂，輕松駕馭，而表達的意義卻更為簡練地道，表達的方式和英式方式也更加接近.
9． 從現(xiàn)在開始，你只許對我一個人好；要寵我，不能騙我；答應(yīng)我的每一件事情，你都要做到；對我講的每一句話都要是真心。不許騙我、罵我，要關(guān)心我；別人欺負我時，你要在第一時間出來幫我；我開心時，你要陪我開心； 我不開心時，你要哄我開心；永遠都要覺得我是最漂亮的；夢里你也要見到我；在你心里只有我 9. From now on, you are supposed to be nice to me only, spoil me, be honest to me, make everything you promised me come true, make sure every single word told me be true. No cheating, no yelling, care about me; show up and help me at the first time when anyone is bullying me; You should be happy for me when I am happy, make me happy if I am not happy; I am the most beautiful one in your heart, I should be in your dream and me only.
10． 一定得選最好的黃金地段，雇法國設(shè)計師，建就得建最高檔次的公寓！ 電梯直接入戶，戶型最小也得四百平米，什么寬帶呀，光纜呀，衛(wèi)星呀能給他接的全給他接上，樓上邊有花園(兒)，樓里邊有游泳池，樓子里站一個英國管家，戴假發(fā)，特紳士的那種，業(yè)主一進門(兒)，甭管有事(兒)沒事，(兒)都得跟人家說may I help you sir(我能為您作點什么嗎?)？一口地道的英國倫敦腔(兒)，倍(兒)有面子！ 社區(qū)里再建一所貴族學(xué)校，教材用哈佛的，一年光學(xué)費就得幾萬美金，再建一所美國診所(兒)，二十四小時候診，就是一個字(兒)貴，看感冒就得花個萬八千的！周圍的鄰居不是開寶馬就是開奔馳，你要是開一日本車呀，你都不好意思跟人家打招呼，你說這樣的公寓，一平米你得賣多少錢？我覺得怎么著也得兩千美金吧！兩千美金那是成本，四千美金起，你別嫌貴還不打折，你得研究業(yè)主的購物心理，愿意掏兩千美金買房的業(yè)主，根本不在乎再多掏兩千，什么叫成功人士你知道嗎？成功人士就是買什么東西，都買最貴的不買最好的！所以，我們做房地產(chǎn)的口號(兒)就是，不求最好但求最貴
上面是大碗里面的經(jīng)典臺詞，涉及到較多的北京的方言。極其口語化，是訓(xùn)練英語口語的不二素材。下面將給大家展示如何簡單的翻譯：
We muct choose the best location, hire Franch designer, build the first class house if we do. The lift goes into the rooms directly with a minimum size of 400 square meters equiped with as many communication medias as we could such as: wide band, optical cable, satellite and so on.
There is a garden at the rooftop, an indoor swimming poor, a English housekeeper standing at the door with wig, so gentlemanly, required to say: May I help you sir? no matter the house owner is in the need of help or not with a genuine accent of London making the owner feel extremly respected.
We also will build a noble school with textbook bought into from Harvard. The students would pay dozens of thousand dollars just for the tuition. What's more, we will build an American style clinic running for 24 hours everyday. It is so expensive that it would cost you thousands yuan to cure flu. All the neighbours are driving either BMW or Mercedes, you will feel ashamed to greet if you are driving a Japanese car. How much do you think should we sell for per square meter of the house like this? I think 2000 dollars at least. What? 2000 dollars, that's the cost. At least 4000 dollars, with no any discount, you will get no chance to say it's expensive. We have the study the mind of the owners who is willing to pay for 2000 dollars for per square meter will not mind paying 2000 dollars more. What is so called successful man, being successful is to buy the most expensive things but not the best. So, our guide line of the business of real estate is to offer the dearest instead of the best.第七章 看圖說話
第一節(jié)：圖片表達
看圖說話是我們使用一門語言的最基本的技能，如果題目已經(jīng)給出要求，則根據(jù)要求進行表述。如果題目本身沒有什么要求或者限制條件，那么，可以考慮從以下幾個方面進行回答。
以我個人的學(xué)習(xí)和教學(xué)的經(jīng)驗來看，對于很多的學(xué)生看圖說話基本無話可說的問題有兩種情況。
第一種是，漢語知道該說什么，在翻譯成英文的過程中遇到阻礙，說的很慢，并伴有大量的停頓，重復(fù)或者拉長音等現(xiàn)象。這是收英語水平所限，或者是英漢和漢英之間轉(zhuǎn)換技巧使用的不夠嫻熟。
第二種是，漢語都不知道該說什么，其實看圖說話很簡單，我們可以基于圖片本身做一個介紹，然后在對于圖片反映的問題和社會現(xiàn)象做一個分析。很多同學(xué)不習(xí)慣或者不善于對于圖片的內(nèi)容做一個表述，更喜歡上來直接對于本質(zhì)的內(nèi)容進行分析和討論，而這一塊往往很難需要較高的英語水平作為支撐。結(jié)果當(dāng)然也是說的磕磕絆絆。
那么看圖說話到底應(yīng)該如何處理呢？
個人覺的，對于圖片表述的內(nèi)容要基于圖片，圍繞圖片，但卻不局限于圖片本身。具體的說，可以從這幾個方面入手：
如果是一個故事： 時間、地點、人物、事情的起因、經(jīng)過和結(jié)果。最后加入一些聯(lián)想，推測和評論
如果是一個事物：形狀、大小、材質(zhì)、用途、聯(lián)想、推測和評論。按照時間、地點、人物、事情的起因、經(jīng)過和結(jié)果，聯(lián)想，推測和評論，示例如下：
It was on Sunday, Tom went to the river with a net and pot, tried to catch some frogs. It was a sunny and cool day. He got 3 frogs and kept in the pot. He was very happy to keep them as pets. However, one day he realised people should protect frog when listening to the radio program. Then he looked up some books telling him frog is good to human and corps. So he decided to send the frogs back where they should be. He took the frogs to the river and let them go freely.
Finally, He felt released and pround of himself.
When I am looking at this pictures, I remember the days when I was a boy, I usually went to the river and catch frogs just for fun. It was wrong, when I grew up, I never hurt frogs any more.
This story in the picture is interesting, and everyone could make mistakes, it is normal, however, we should know what we have done is wrong and never do it again
按照時間、地點、人物、事情的起因、經(jīng)過和結(jié)果，聯(lián)想，推測和評論，示例如下：
Tom is a primary school student, who is 10 years old. One day, Tom was walking on the street, suddenly he fell down because of stepping on a watermelon skin. Three person are looking at him at the same time, his mother, his teacher and a stranger.
His mother came to him concernedly and asked him what happen, warried about him, suggested him to go hospital with her if he felt bad.
His teacher was looking at him and tried hard to figure out what happened. Why did he fall down, Is there anything the school should do to prevent such accident take place on the other students
The strange was laughing at him and thinking, what a careless boy, however he is not my boy. Let me just have a look. It is fun.
I think such thing would only be possible happen in China. If it happened in Amecica, it would be the most normal thing and the kid would stand up like nothing happened.
Children will learn more from failure and pain. There is no need to pay so much attention on the tiny things, so the new generation of China could make a bright future
From this picture, I can see the earth man is surrendering to a bunch of chimneies around. There are some wounds in the head of earth man and we can see he is really tired and scared. It leaves me a deep impression that the earth who provides a homeland of human beings is sufferring. Human have done a lot to hurt the earth like cutting tree, making air polution, dirting water and so on. It is the crucial time for us to do something to protect the enviroment. May be somthing small, like stop dumping freely or smoking or taking bus instead of private cars.  詳解： 這幅圖片是我在學(xué)�？谡Z期中考試時準(zhǔn)備的諸多題目中的一個，要求準(zhǔn)備半分鐘，說1-2分鐘。如果能夠說5-10句話，就可以及格了。不幸的是很多同學(xué)表示很棘手，很難說5句，因為很多的單詞過于專業(yè)。有些同學(xué)覺得題目太難了，甚至變態(tài)，更有甚者表示出這種題目的老師，也就是樓主本人很變態(tài)。
考試總結(jié)的時候，我和學(xué)生闡述了一下原因和回答的思路。因為作為大一的學(xué)生，用口語來流利的表達圖片背后的內(nèi)涵確實有些強人所難。但是，我在考試的時候已經(jīng)放寬了條件。只要是和圖片相關(guān)的內(nèi)容都可以說。
比如： there are two persons in the picture, one is standing, and one is sitting; One is tall and one is short; one is taking a book, one is looking at him. The one who is standing is handsome, and the one who is sitting is old. I really like the one who is standing.
上面的表述基本上屬于廢話，但在考試中有時候廢話是必須的，你們懂得。
如果想對情節(jié)進行描述的話也可以，The one who is taking a book is a peot who goes to an office to see a manager to try to get his book pubished. However, the manager tells him that he need to change the name of the book if he wants to publish it. The poet is so surprised.
故事可以到此結(jié)束，或者有興趣的同學(xué)可以嘗試著去挖掘故事的內(nèi)涵或者折射出來社會現(xiàn)象。
The press is changing and not showing respect to cultrue and the writers. they are only focusing on the market but not the value of literature. What's more, we could also find out that the taste of the morden readers are different with the previous ones. Nowadays people are paying more attention to the private life of the famous person instead of their work
 以下僅供參考： It is Sunday morning, James goes to park with his girlfirend, they buy a watermelon eating at the bench of the park while it is really hot. When they have eaten the watermelon, they leave the watermelon on the bench, the girl tries to clean the mess, however James tells her that there must be someone else to clean it up. I think it is not right to do this as it is their responsibility to put it into rubish bin near them. This is not good and definitely would affect the others if anyone want to have a rest on bench. I hope everyone in China could realise how serious this problem is and try to make our country more beautiful and comfortable.
