国外知乎⾼赞回答：⼀个⼈怎样练成流利的英语⼝语？（附视频）
英语的重要性现在已经不⾔⽽喻了，⽽对于中国这样⼀个越来越国际化的国家，⼝语交流能⼒
也变得越来越重要。

不管你是要到⾼级企业就职，还是想店铺、游学，亦或是⾃⼰创业做国际化⽣意，都需要⾜够
的⼝语能⼒。

但这个能⼒似乎⼀直是⼤部分中国⼈的弱项。

到底要怎样才能提⾼我们的⼝语能⼒呢？吉⽶⽼师跟你分享⼀篇⽂章，不论你是学⽣还是成年
⼈，不论你是家庭主妇还是不得不开⼝⽤英语交流的商务⼈⼠，这篇⽂章都能帮到你。

How can I become fluent in English?
怎样说⼀⼝流利英语？

Don't set fluency targets - Never ever commit the mistake of setting a 'number of words spoken
per minute' kind of targets. They are destructive as they do not allow the mind to really work
constructively without pressure.
别设定什么流畅度⽬标——永远别定“⼀分钟应该说多少个词”这种错误⽬标。

这样你就没办法正
常地毫⽆压⼒地表达，会打乱你的节奏。

Be a natural - Let things happen naturally. As you read more, and convert the read word into
spoken word, your speed will gradually pick up. Do not be artificial.
⾃然点——顺其⾃然。

随着阅读量增加，把你读到的转化成你说出来的，语速⾃然会提⾼。

别
刻意追求速度。

Read, read, read - As you read more, your confidence about issues / topics / subjects will grow.
You will start owning knowledge. You will develop an inner, natural strength. It is a matter of
time that is starts showing on your face.
读，读，读——你读得越多，你对事情、话题、主旨的把握就越有⾃信。

你开始积累更多的知
识，培养⾃⼰由内⽽外、⾃然⽽然更优秀的⽓质。

随着时间的沉淀，这种⽓质⾃然会显露出
来。

Write at least 1 essay per day - It is the ultimate test of what you are learning, and if you are
learning something at all. Pick a plain paper, think of a topic, and write an essay (300 words
max) on it. Do it every day. It will very productively force you to raise the level of the game.
每天写⼀篇⽂章——这是考察你到底学了什么、有没有学到真东西的终极考验。

拿⼀张⽩纸，
想⼀个主题，然后写⼀篇⽂章（不超过300字）。

每天坚持。

这是推动你进步的数量上的保证。

Be measured while you speak - Do not try to outgun anyone in the group. Take a few seconds
before you react (2 or 3 seconds, say). That will ensure that you do not over-react, instant-react,
or wrong-react.
想好了再说——不要试图压倒每⼀个组员。

在作出反应之前思考2到3秒，以保证你不会表现过
激、仓促或者出错。

Talk to yourself - You will never be ashamed doing that. Keep doing it regularly. It will open up
your tongue.
和你⾃⼰对话——你不会为此感到害羞的。

检测有规律地练习。

这会让你敞开⼼扉。

Shout, at least once a day - Go to the rooftop literally, and shout aloud. Do that for some
minutes. Speak something sensible if you can. It will train the mind not to be scared of
anything. Of course, if you do that elsewhere, people may beat you up :)
⼤喊，⾄少每天⼀次——去屋顶，⼤声喊。

喊⼏分钟。

如果可以的话，说⼀些有感⽽发的话。

这会让你内⼼变得更强⼤。

当然，如果你不分场合地喊，肯定会被打的。

Love yourself for what you are - This is perhaps the most crucial step. If you hate yourself for not being a fluent English speaker (as per whatever random benchmark you've adopted), your sense of self-worth will be destroyed. Don't let that happen to you.
接受⾃⼰，爱⾃⼰的样⼦——这可能是最重要的⼀步了。

如果你恨⾃⼰的英语不够流利（或者随便其他你要求⾃⼰做到的事情。

）你的⾃我肯定就会被摧毁。

不要让这发⽣在你⾝上。

I have come across some really fast speakers who talk sense, and some who are idiots; some measured speakers who talk a lot of sense; and some slow speakers who are a pleasure to listen to.
我遇到过很多讲话很快⼜很有道理的⼈，遇到过说话很快却很愚蠢的⼈，遇到过说话有分⼨⽽且很有道理的⼈，也遇到过⼀些说话慢慢的却让⼈很乐意听下去的⼈。

It all depends on your profession, your eye-contact and body language, and the choice of words + depth of knowledge.
这⼀切由你的专业⽔平、眼神交流、肢体语⾔和⽤词、知识深度来决定。

So relax, and start your personal journey of success! It will take time, so buckle up. Wish you great luck.
所以，放轻松，找到适合你⾃⼰的⽅法吧！可能要花⼀些时间，所以要有耐⼼。

祝好运。

⼀个⼈怎么练习英语⼝语？
我们都知道英语需要练习，多开⼝说才能进步。

但是对⼤多数中国⼈来说，没有和别⼈⼀起练英语的机会。

那么，⼀个⼈怎么练英语呢？下⾯这个视频中分享了⼀些实⽤技巧还有⽰范过程，多加练习可以帮助我们提⾼⾃⼰的英语⽔平。

I think you already know that if you want to improve your English speaking skills, you have to practice, right?
我想你已经知道，如果你想提⾼你的英语⼝语能⼒，你必须练习，对吧？
You have to speak, studying grandma will never improve your speaking, listening to English alone will never improve your speaking.
你必须开⼝说。

只学习语法永远不会提⾼你的⼝语能⼒，单单练习英语听⼒也不会提⾼你的⼝语⽔平。

You have to actually speak. but what if you don't have someone to talk to in English? how can you practice them?
你得真正开⼝才⾏。

但是如果你⾝边没有可以⽤英语交谈的⼈怎么办呢？那样的话你该怎么练习呢？
Well, there's a technique that allows you to learn to speak English by yourself, no speaking partner is required.
其实，这⾥有⼀个可以让你不需要对话伙伴，⾃⼰练习⼝语的技巧。

This technique can help improve many aspects of your spoken English: your sentence structure, your grandma, your vocabulary, and most importantly, your ability to express your thoughts and ideas effectively. so what is his technique? Here's what it is....
它可以从⽅⽅⾯⾯帮助你提⾼英语的⼝语能⼒：句⼦结构、语法、词汇，最重要的是，它可以有效地提⾼表达思想和观点的能⼒。

那么这个技巧是什么呢？那就是......
Learning to speak English throug himitation.
学习通过模仿来说英语。

When I say imitation, I'm not talking about repeating after Native speakers, using the exact same word to improve your pronunciation. I'm talking about something, a little more advanced than that.
我所说的模仿，并不是要你把母语⼈⼠所说的话⼀字不落的重复跟读来提⾼你的发⾳，我说的这个⽅法要⽐这个好⽤多了。

Here's how it works: you listen to a conversation, a story, or some kind of speech, and then try to deliver that speech in your own words.
它是这样的：在你听了⼀段对话，⼀个故事，或者演讲视频，尝试着⽤你⾃⼰的话来复述出来。

let's see this technique in action:
(让我们看看实际操作是怎样的）
(听) when I was a child.
(说) when he was a child.
(听) my parents liked to pretend, like many other parents.
(说) his parents liked to pretend, like many other parents.
(听) that SantaClauswould bring us presents at Christmas.
(说)hisparents like topretend that Santa Claus would bring them presents at Christmas. (听) so when my siblings and I would wake up on Christmas morning,(说)so when he and his siblings would wake up on Christmas morning.
(听) There'd be abunch of presents, from supposedly. Santa clause, sitting in front of the fireplace,
(说) there'd a bunch of presents, from supposedly Santa clause sitting in front of the fireplace. So that's how it works. but that's just oneway to do it, there are other ways too.
这个技巧就是这么操作的。

但是这只是⼀种操作⽅法，还有其他的⽅法。

For example, instead of imitating small portions of speech, like phrases and short sentences, you can imitatelarger portions of speech.
例如，不仅仅是模仿演讲中的短语和短句，这样的⼩块段落，你还可以模仿更⼤的段落。

so in this case, you wait until the speaker completeat hought or an idea.
所以在这种情况下，你要等到演讲者说完⼀个完整的观点后，暂停视频，
then pause and try to express that idea yourself.
然后试着⾃⼰把这个观点表达出来。

Another approach is to simply listen to the whole speech, and then try to deliver that entire speech yourself. so there are several ways to go about it.
另⼀种⽅法就是单纯地听完整个演讲，然后试着⽤⾃⼰的话复述完整个演讲。

所以其实有很多种⽅法应⽤这个技巧。

But what I recommend is to combine them all together, and I called this approach easy-to-hard imitation.
但我的建议是把它们全部结合在⼀起，我把这种⽅法称为“从易到难模仿法”。

Easy-to-hard imitationis based on the concept of progressive training.
从易到难模仿法是建⽴在渐进式训练的概念上⽽设计的。

The idea is that your startwith something easy and then increase the difficulty of the activity, forcing yourself to get better. A number of studies have found this kind of training to be
very effective.
重点就是，从⼀些简单的内容开始，然后增加练习的难度，逼着⾃⼰变强。

许多研究都发现这种培训是⾮常有效的。

Here's how you can apply this concept: start by imitating small portions of speech first, like phrases and short sentences, then move onto imitating larger portions of speech, like long sentences or even groups of sentences, and finally, try to deliver the entire speech on your
own.
接下来教你如何应⽤这个概念：⾸先以演讲为例，模仿演讲中⼩块段落，⽐如短语和短句，然后继续模仿更⼤的段落，⽐如长句乃⾄整段的句⼦。

最后，试着独⾃复述完整个演讲。

This technique offers many benefits. You get to listen and imitate correct English, which helps you learn to form sentences properly.
运⽤这个技巧有许多好处。

你可以练习听⼒和模仿正确的英语发⾳，这有助于你学会说出正确完整的句⼦。

You get to learn idioms, expressions, and other speaking patterns that are used in day-to-day conversations.
你还可以学到英语中的惯⽤语、表达⽅式和⽇常对话中经常使⽤的其它⼝语句式。

You get to learn grandma, when you imitate other people, you're learning grandma through a process called implicit learning. this is the process where the learning happens without you rawareness.
你还可以学到语法，当你模仿别⼈的时候，你其实在⽤⼀个叫做“隐性学习”的过程来学习语法，就是指在你没有意识的情况下学习。

This is how baby and children learn the grandma rules of their first language.
这就是婴⼉和⼉童如何学习他们母语语法的⽅式。

When you imitate, you don't think about grandma.
当你模仿的时候，你不会去想语法。

You're not try to understand why the present perfect tense is used in this situation or in that situation.
你也并不会试着去理解为什么现在完成时态被⽤在这种情境下或那种情境下。

Instead, you're focused on communication, on understanding and expressing ideas.
相反，你专注于沟通、理解和表达想法。
