我学习英语的阅历

作者／翻译:黄李龙

i am not sure exactly what makes learning english a religion to me. i used to be very good at physics and saw no practical need to learn english. so i believed i could also be successful without learning english.

我不晓得究竟是啥令英语学习变成我的头号大事。早年我的物理很凶狠，我认为没有啥实践需要去学习英语，因而那时我信赖不学英语，我相同能成功。

i began my high school life at a very good school,

specializing in math and physics. however, because my math score wasn’t satisfactory, i was asked to leave the school. thereafter, i went to another high school that focused on english studies. i still remember the day i walked into the classroom and saw my english teacher; she was so beautiful that her eyes brought me great warmth and caring, although i didn’t understand her first words to me, which were “good morning”. you have to take learning english one step at a time. we began with the alphabet. slowly did i learn how to make the correct sounds, i was still not interested in english. so i didn’t practice very often. the exam finally came! i hadn’t studied and i knew i couldn’t pass. so i cheated on the exam. it was the worst and also the best thing that could have happened to me. when i got my exam paper back, i found that i had received a high grade. but what bothered me was that i knew the grade wasn’t my real score. the more i thought about it, the more it bothered me. i decided to tell the truth and i told my teacher that i

wasn’t the good student she had thought me to be. instead of being mad, she was patient and nice to me. she helped me learn to read very simple english and encouraged me to do things on my own so as to improve my english.

我的大学日子始于一所偏重于数理的上等大学。可是，因为我的数学成果不太抱负，学校需求我转学。自从那今后，我到了另外一所偏重于英语学习的大学。我还记住那天我走进教室，与我的英语教师碰头的一幕。她是那么的秀丽，尽管我不理解她对我说的第一句话“good morning（早上好）”是啥意思，但她那双眼向我投来了火热的温暖与关怀。学习英语要循序渐进。咱们从字母表初步学起。尽管我逐渐地掌控了字母的发音，可是我对英语一点也不感快乐喜爱。因而我不再花太多时刻去操练英语了。考试总算到来了！我没有好好学习，我也晓得我会考试不及格，所以我在考试中作弊了。这是我所干的最坏的作业，也是发生在我身上的最佳的作业。当我拿到了试卷后，我得知我获得了一个高分数。但令我感到困惑的是我晓得这个分数不是我真实的成果。我越这样想，心里就越不好过。我抉择说出底细，我告诉了教师我并不如她所想的那样是个好学生。她没有生气，反而很耐性地对待我。她教我朗读非常简略的英语，还鼓舞我独立结束功课，然后前进我的英语成果。

although my dad didn’t speak a word of english, when he knew that i wanted to get better at english, he found me some english tapes. he played the tapes for me every morning while i was having my breakfast. i didn’t understand the words, but i got used to listening to the sound and rhythm of english. i learned how each sound was linked to another. listening to the tapes had become part of my breakfast time. it was just as normal as the soybean milk i drank at breakfast.

尽管我父亲一点英语也不会说，当他晓得我想前进英语水平常，便给我找来了一些英语磁带。每天早晨当我吃早餐时，他就为我播映那些磁带。我不理解（磁带里的）单词，但我习气了倾听英语朗读时的发音与旋律。我学到了每个单词间如何连读。听磁带变成了我吃早餐的一有些。它如同每天早餐我所喝的豆浆相同天然。

my english listening improved gradually, but my vocabulary was still quite limited. there was a second-hand bookstore about half an hour’s bus ride from my home. i went there because it was quiet and the lady who worked there was nice to me. i wanted to be able to understand what these english books were about, so i brought my dictionary to the library. but reading the entire english book was too difficult for me, so i read the chinese translation before the unabridged english version. instead of looking up every new word in my dictionary, i’d finish a whole page without stopping so as to get the general idea. i found that this was a good learning system. i stuck to a strict schedule and practiced my listening comprehension for hours every day. during this time, my parents did not pressure me. learning a language is not hard, but having people pressure you makes learning hard. i had great fun while learning english. my mother collected english movies for me. from these movies, i learned that good speakers don’t need to speak quickly but clearly. i owe tons of gratitude to my parents. without their love, support and constant encouragement, i would not have been successful.

我的英语听力逐渐得到了前进，但我的英语词汇仍然有限。在离我家约半个小时公交车程的当地有一间二手书店。我去那书店是因为那里恬静，而且在那儿作业的阿姨对我很友善。我想晓得摆在那儿的英文书是讲啥内容的，所以我把我的字典也带进了图书馆。可是要看无缺本英文书对我来说是非常困难的，因而我先阅览中文翻译，然后才看无缺的英文原版。为了不必每个不会的单词都查字典，我会一口气把整页的内容看完，然后对内容有个大致上的晓得。我觉得这是一个不错的学习办法。我严肃坚持我的学习时刻表，每天花若干个小时操练我的听力了解。在那段日子里，父亲母亲都没有给我施加压力。学习一门言语并不困难，但有人在旁给你施加压力会使学习很困难。我的英语学习的进程充溢着快乐喜爱。我母亲为我搜集了一些英语影片。从这些影片中，我理解了优良的英语会话者不需要说得快但要说得清楚。我对我的父母充溢了无尽的感谢。没有他们的关怀、撑持与不断的鼓舞，我不会获得今日的成功。

today, some of you may find me in your classrooms as your english teacher. i don’t think i will ever stop learning english because it has become part of my life.

今日，你们傍边可以有人会发现我呈如今你们的教室里，作为你们的英语教师。我认为我此后也不会中止英语学习，因为它已变成了我日子的一有些。
