Today we're going to go over my top 5 tips for learning English with movies and TV. Many people successfully learn English this way, and the great thing about it is that you're learning something in context, not isolated like in a vocabulary list. 

今天我想跟大家分享看電視電影學(xué)英語的5個絕佳妙招。很多人通過這種方法熟練掌握英語，這樣學(xué)習(xí)的好處在于，你可以結(jié)合語境，而不是單純照著詞表背單詞。

And this will really help you remember it. In addition, you're learning from a native speaker, so your pronunciation should be much more accurate than if you're learning from a book if you do it right.

這樣學(xué)習(xí)記得更牢。而且你還可以直接跟母語者學(xué)習(xí)，只要方法得當(dāng)，這樣你學(xué)到的發(fā)音會精確很多，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)勝過光靠書本默讀。

But learning English from movies and TV does NOT happen automatically. Unless you're using the tips I'm about to teach you, you won't be learning as much English as you could.

不過看電視電影學(xué)英語也不是無師自通的，除非你運(yùn)用了我教的小技巧，學(xué)習(xí)英語的效果會更好。

But if you DO make these tips a part of your regular movie and TV watching habits, you'll have a powerful new learning tool that's always available to you! Now, this is not about relaxing and unwinding watching TV or a movie, this is about learning. It's an active experience, part of your studies.

如果你能將這些小技巧融匯到日常觀影習(xí)慣中，就掌握了一項(xiàng)語言學(xué)習(xí)的新利器。請注意，你不能抱著放松身心，舒緩精神的心態(tài)來觀影。這是在學(xué)英語，要付出努力，這是學(xué)習(xí)過程的一部分。

Let's get started. Tip 1:  Work at your level. If listening comprehension is a big challenge for you, and you want to work on that specifically, start with a simple scene involving just a few people in a quiet environment.

我們開始吧！第一個小技巧: 量力而行，如果聽力對你來說比較困難，你想重點(diǎn)鍛煉一下，那就從人物較少，相對安靜的場景開始。

I really like dramas because I think in general the pace of speaking is a little slower. HER is a great movie for this: slow pace, clear speech. "What's the rush?" That was relatively easy to understand.

我很喜歡劇情類影片，因?yàn)橄鄬碇v語速較慢《她》這部電影非常合適，語速慢、發(fā)音清晰。"著什么急?"比較容易聽懂吧。

If your listening comprehension is very good and you're just looking to pick up new vocabulary or phrases, or you want to challenge your listening comprehension, you can do this by trying a scene in a noisy room, or a scene where people are speaking with a non-standard accent.

如果你的聽力已經(jīng)很好，想學(xué)習(xí)新的詞匯和表達(dá)?；蛘哌M(jìn)一步提升難度，挑戰(zhàn)自我，可以選擇環(huán)境嘈雜的場景，或者角色講話帶口音的影視作品。

"It's that or we both better go do something else, pal." That was likely much harder to understand. So, work at a level that's right for you. One that's not so challenging that you understand almost nothing.

"就得這樣，不然咱們只能改行了，哥們兒"這樣大概比較難懂?？傊?，要根據(jù)自己的水平量力而為，不要選幾乎完全聽不懂的素材。

Tip 2:  Use a video player that has the right tools: a toggle for subtitles and a way to easily skip back in the video. Both Netflix and HBO Go have these features, and no they did not pay me to say this. 

第二個小技巧: 選擇合適的播放工具，可以通過控制欄調(diào)出字幕快進(jìn)快退那種。Netflix和HBO Go的界面都有這種功能，我不是在幫他們打廣告啦！

On YouTube, you can do a search on a topic that interests you, and filter it. so you'll only see videos with a closed captioning file.

你也可以在YouTube上搜索自己感興趣的話題，運(yùn)用過濾器篩選，這樣你就可以看到帶官方字幕的視頻。

But the YouTube player doesn't have a way to easily jump back a few seconds like Netflix or HBO Go, they have a skip back 10 seconds button and I think if you can afford a subscription to one of those services, it's really useful.

不過YouTube視頻播放器不太容易快退，不能像Netflix或HBO Go那樣退后幾秒，那兩家有后退十秒的按鈕，所以我覺得經(jīng)濟(jì)條件允許的話下可以考慮訂閱一下，很有幫助。

Let's go on to tip 3 to see why. Tip 3:  Use subtitles and the following method to learn. Step 1 is to listen without the subtitles. When you hear something you don't understand, or a word you don't know and it's okay if that's pretty frequent, pause the player.

我們再來看第三個小技巧告訴你原因，第三個小技巧：善用字幕。跟隨以下方法學(xué)習(xí)，第一步不看字幕裸聽。當(dāng)你聽到一 些不懂的內(nèi)容，或者某個不懂的單詞，經(jīng)常碰到也沒關(guān)系， 先暫停播放。

Go back 10 seconds and listen again, pause it. Can you figure it out? Write down as much of the sentence as you can in a notebook that you have just for this purpose. Use an app if you like, but I prefer writing by hand.

后退十秒的繼續(xù)聽，再暫停。這回聽出來了嗎?把聽出來的全部記下來，專門準(zhǔn)備一個筆記本記錄這些，手機(jī)應(yīng)用當(dāng)然也行，我比較喜歡手寫。

Then, turn on the English subtitles and go back and listen again. Listen and watch with the subtitles on. Now, maybe the part you didn't get is a brand new word that you've never seen or heard before. Great, this is an awesome way to learn new vocabulary.

之后打開字幕，倒回去再聽一遍，帶字幕重新看一遍，或許你沒聽懂的是個生詞，之前沒有碰到過。這很好，這樣積累詞匯也不錯。

Write the word down, look up the definition, and write down the sentence you heard it in. Even write down the show or the movie and the scene. Remembering this context will absolutely help you remember the word. But maybe when you go back and watch with the subtitles you realize you know all those words.

把這個生詞記下來，查字典，把整句都記下來。最好把劇集或電影還有相應(yīng)場景也記下來，記錄語境絕對有助于你牢記這個單詞，不過當(dāng)你帶字幕回放之后也有可能發(fā)現(xiàn)所有單詞都認(rèn)識。

Why didn't you understand it? That's a very important question and answering it is the key to improving your listening comprehension. Perhaps the phrase was said very quickly and there were reductions in there that made it very hard to identify the word.

怎么就是沒聽懂?這個問題很重要，解決這個難題是提高聽力的關(guān)鍵所在，是不是語速過快，或句中有略讀的現(xiàn)象，使得某個單詞很難辨析。

Or maybe a word has a pronunciation that's completely different than what you thought. Write down the full sentence now and circle the words you didn't understand. Then use the skip back button to listen many times... five, maybe even more.

又或者某個單詞的發(fā)音與你預(yù)想的完全不一樣，把整句都寫下來圈出沒聽懂的單詞，用快退鍵反復(fù)播放... 重聽五次，甚至更多。

Something was pronounced in a way that you were not expecting. Study how the native speaker pronounces it. Importantly, say the phrase out loud yourself a few times, imitating the native speaker as precisely as you can.

看看哪些單詞的讀音出乎你的意料，仔細(xì)聆聽母語者如何發(fā)音。更重要的是，要自己大聲讀幾遍，盡量模仿母語者的發(fā)音。

Write down the correct pronunciation in your notebook. Maybe even take it a step further: Go to Youglish.com and type the word or phrase you didn't understand. Hear lots of other examples of native speakers using that word or phrase, and pay attention.

把正確的發(fā)音記在本子里，或者還可以更進(jìn)一步，登陸Youglish.com網(wǎng)站，輸入你沒聽懂的這個單詞或表達(dá)，尋找別的范例，仔細(xì)聽其他母語者如何發(fā)音。

Is it reduced? Why was it so hard for you to understand the first time? This kind of work will really pay off. Youglish is a search engine for YouTube videos with English subtitles and you can filter it to American English, and skip from clip to clip.

是略讀了嗎?一開始為什么沒聽出來?這樣的努力肯定會有成效，Youglish網(wǎng)站可以搜索自帶英文字幕的YouTube視頻，還可以選擇美式英語，多個視頻換著聽。

You can also move forward or backward within a clip to get the full context. It's a great way to supplement your learning. Just like in the movies, I did a quick costume change.

還能在同一視頻中快進(jìn)或快退，獲得完整語境，對英語學(xué)習(xí)很有幫助，就像拍電影一樣，我換了套戲服。

Tip 4:  Review it! If you've taken the time to do the work of watching, pausing, writing down sentences, vocab words, and the context you learned them in, then do yourself a favor and solidify that learning.

第四個小技巧: 復(fù)習(xí)! 既然你已經(jīng)花了這么多功夫觀看、暫停、做筆記、積累單詞、記錄語境了，一定要鞏固學(xué)習(xí)成果才對得起自己的努力。

Keep your English in Movies notebook close by so if you have a bit of extra time, waiting for an appointment, or on your commute, or during your lunch break, you can remind yourself what you learned yesterday.

看電影學(xué)英語專用筆記本要隨身攜帶，這樣你一有空閑時間。比如等待約見、通勤或午休，就可以趁機(jī)復(fù)習(xí)前一天所學(xué)的知識。

If you learned a new vocabulary word, try to come up with your own sentences for it now. Practice speaking your new words and phrases out loud whenever possible.

如果學(xué)到新詞匯，可以嘗試用它造句，抓住一切機(jī)會放聲使用這些詞匯或表達(dá)。

And Tip 5:  Set manageable goals for yourself. Don't try to learn 100 new words or phrases a day. That's too many. Make it your goal to really learn 5 or 6. When you learn them in context and review them for seven days, that will get you good results.

第五個小技巧：切勿好高騖遠(yuǎn)。別妄想一天學(xué)會100個生詞，那太多了，學(xué)5個、6個就夠了。結(jié)合語境，復(fù)習(xí)七天，學(xué)習(xí)效果一定不錯。

Trying to learn too many too often means very little being remembered and leads to burnout. This method I've given you is time-consuming, but it is concrete and you will really learn this way.

太過急功近利效果反而不好，最后記住的不多，而且會搞得自己精疲力盡。我教大家的這個方法非常耗時耗力，但也堅(jiān)實(shí)可靠，保證你學(xué)有所獲。

If you've gotten 5 or 10 good word or phrases in the first few minutes of a show or movie, reward yourself! Close your notebook and watch the rest for enjoyment and pleasure.

如果你剛看幾分鐘就學(xué)到了5到10個實(shí)用詞匯或表達(dá)，就犒賞自己吧! 合上筆記本，盡情享受接下來的觀影體驗(yàn)。

There is a wealth of TV shows and movies that you can use to help you learn English and speak like a native. 

海量的影視劇給我們提供了豐富多彩的學(xué)習(xí)素材，幫你學(xué)習(xí)英語，說起英語來像地道的母語者。
