6個(gè)方法，幫你解決英語(yǔ)“開(kāi)口難”
即便你背了無(wú)數(shù)的單詞，即便你對(duì)語(yǔ)法了如指掌，但當(dāng)用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)自己想法時(shí)，是不是仍然會(huì)感到“話在心頭口難開(kāi)”？為什么會(huì)這樣呢？有些原因是非常顯而易見(jiàn)的。那么，今天，英大就來(lái)講講6個(gè)技巧，讓你有效突破英語(yǔ)交流障礙，輕輕松松講一口流利的英文！
1.Slow Down Your Speaking Speed減慢語(yǔ)速
You might be an eloquent speaker when it comes to your mother tongue, but expecting the same standards from yourself when speaking in a foreign language may not be very realistic.
當(dāng)你用母語(yǔ)交流時(shí)，你可能不輸給奇葩說(shuō)的辯論選手。而當(dāng)你使用外語(yǔ)時(shí)，想要達(dá)到這樣的水平，顯然是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。
Especially, if you’re at the early stages of learning. Learners are often told not to worry about the mistakes they’re making, however, it is easy to understand why you would like to make a good impression on your audience.
尤其，你還是語(yǔ)言的初級(jí)學(xué)習(xí)者。周?chē)娜私?jīng)常說(shuō)不要在乎是否會(huì)犯語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，但是如果你想用外語(yǔ)給對(duì)方留下好印象的話，盡量還是要避免語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤。
To overcome this difficulty, you may try slowing down your speaking speed.
Nobody will hold it against you if you speak more slowly and clearly. Great speakers do the same to get their message across. Selecting your words carefully may also be seen as a sign of respect towards your audience. It shows that you want to give them the best possible answer.
為了克服這個(gè)障礙，你需要減慢你的語(yǔ)速。如果你講得慢一些，但是更加清楚、有條理，沒(méi)人會(huì)反對(duì)你的。偉大的演講者也是通過(guò)這種方式去表述自己的觀點(diǎn)。謹(jǐn)慎地選用詞匯也是對(duì)講話對(duì)方的尊重，因?yàn)檫@體現(xiàn)了你想讓對(duì)方得到明確清楚的答復(fù)。
2.Give Yourself Time to Think給自己留些思考時(shí)間
You may be worried that the people you’re talking to are impatient and would like you to say what you want as quickly as possible.
你可能認(rèn)為談話對(duì)方不耐心，希望你講得越快越好。
First of all, it may not be true – people often prefer a well-thought-out answer to a rushed one.
So just relax.
首先，這個(gè)認(rèn)知可能是錯(cuò)誤的。人們往往更愿意得到一個(gè)經(jīng)過(guò)深思熟慮后得出的答案，而非一個(gè)匆匆忙忙的回復(fù)。
所以，放輕松。
Another practical thing you can do is equipping yourself with fixed phrases you can use when remaining silent doesn’t seem to be an option.
保持沉默并不是最佳選擇，但是有一個(gè)可行的辦法：自己準(zhǔn)備些固定的術(shù)語(yǔ)。
舉個(gè)例子：
Why is there so much violence on TV? That’s a good question. Let me think for a moment, I haven’t really thought about it before. Well, I suppose…
為什么電視節(jié)目如此暴力？這是個(gè)好問(wèn)題，讓我想一下，我之前還真沒(méi)考慮過(guò)這個(gè)問(wèn)題。我認(rèn)為…
Here the speaker gains considerable amount of time to reflect just by repeating the question and adding a few sentences. If you do the same, you’ll sound more fluent and won’t feel the pressure of having to say something before you’re ready.
重復(fù)問(wèn)題，并加上幾個(gè)句子就能給說(shuō)話者足夠的時(shí)間去思考了。如果你這樣做，我相信你的回答一定會(huì)更加的流暢，你也不會(huì)感到準(zhǔn)備不充分所帶來(lái)的巨大壓力了！
常用的連接詞：
during the day
in the meantime
It’s been a long time since
Sorry to bother/trouble you, but…
Would you mind if…?
Oh, come on!
I’m just kidding!
For what it’s worth,…
To be right/wrong about
Tit for tat/an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
3.Learn Sentences, Not Only Words 記憶句子，而非單詞
When you learn a new word, try to memorize a couple of sentences that contain it.
當(dāng)你學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)新的單詞時(shí)，去記這個(gè)單詞所構(gòu)成的句子。
There might come a time when you can use one particular sentence with little, or no alteration at all. Unfortunately, many people learn words by heart, but have no idea how to use them in a sentence.
有時(shí)你甚至可以原封不動(dòng)地在交流過(guò)程中使用這個(gè)句子。但是很多人都是記住一個(gè)單詞，卻不知道在句子中如何它。
It will be such a relief not having to worry about whether the sentence is correct grammatically or not. Let’s look at an example:
此外，記句子的好處在于你都不用去擔(dān)心自己的句子語(yǔ)法正確與否，譬如：
appreciate = to recognize the value of something/somebody
I think it’s necessary to feel appreciated in a relationship/ at work.
I appreciate all your hard work.
Isn’t it much more useful to memorize ’appreciate’ this way?
難道背句子不比背單詞更有效嗎？
4.Learn to Listen聆聽(tīng)
When speaking in a foreign language, you might be so focused on what you are saying and whether it’s correct or not, that you forget to listen to what others are saying.
當(dāng)講一門(mén)外語(yǔ)時(shí)，你可能太專注于你講的句子正確與否，而忽略了對(duì)方在說(shuō)什么。
This is a big mistake as they might be using the exact words or grammar you’ll be needing later on. So pay attention to what’s being said around you, it’s your most important resource at the time of speaking to someone.
你身邊的人可能會(huì)使用你接下來(lái)需要的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)或者是詞匯，所以聆聽(tīng)周?chē)嗽谥v些什么，那是你對(duì)話時(shí)最重要的詞匯語(yǔ)法“寶庫(kù)”。
5.Practise Your Interrogatives練習(xí)提問(wèn)
We also need to keep in mind the fact that communication is a two-way process. Not only does it make you seem uninterested – even rude – if you don’t ask questions, you might also end up being the one who has to do all the talking.
我們要知道交流是雙向的。如果你不問(wèn)對(duì)方問(wèn)題，對(duì)方可能會(huì)覺(jué)得你不感興趣，甚至認(rèn)為你沒(méi)有禮貌。結(jié)果就是你必須要一直說(shuō)話。
So, when you’ve run out of ideas about what to say next, remember: others might have something to add.
所以，當(dāng)你不知道接下來(lái)要說(shuō)什么的時(shí)候，記住：對(duì)方可能也有想要表達(dá)的想法。 可你以嘗試這樣提問(wèn)對(duì)方：
What are your views on that?
How about you? What do you think?
Why do you think there’s so much violence on TV?
Questions like this will keep the conversation going and will show your interest in other people’s opinion. They will also give you time to relax a little and start enjoying yourself.
這樣的提問(wèn)能夠保證對(duì)話健康地進(jìn)行下去。同時(shí)，也能體現(xiàn)你對(duì)對(duì)方的觀點(diǎn)感興趣，這樣做也會(huì)給你一些時(shí)間放松自己。
6.Produce, Produce, Produce練習(xí)，練習(xí)，練習(xí)
As I said at the beginning of this article, you might know a lot about the language, but this is passive knowledge that must be activated somehow. Your aim is to be able to produce correct English; practice is undeniably the best way to learn and improve.
正如文章開(kāi)頭所講，你所學(xué)習(xí)的大量的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)都是被動(dòng)的知識(shí)，你需要激活他們。以此來(lái)達(dá)到最終的目的---使用正確的英語(yǔ)。練習(xí)，毋庸置疑是最好的方式，它可以幫助你適應(yīng)英語(yǔ)的使用規(guī)則。
Speaking, on the other hand, is a much more spontaneous process and nothing prepares you for it better than actually doing it. So, find people you can practise with.
交流，其實(shí)是非常自發(fā)的過(guò)程，只有你去說(shuō)，你才能去總結(jié)反思成長(zhǎng)，所以，找個(gè)可以和你對(duì)話交流的人吧！
