Hi, James from EngVid. That's a mighty nice ear!

嗨，我是来自EngVid的詹姆斯。 这是一个非常好的耳朵！

Today, I want to teach a lesson on listening skills. About a year ago I did a lesson on

今天，我想教听力技能课。 大约一年前，我做了一课上

listening skills, and I promised in that one to give you a system that you

倾听的技巧，我答应 给你一个的系统，以至于你

could use to improve at home, and then I decided I wanted to make it better than that.

可以在家提升你的英语听力技能，然后我决定我想让它比这更好。

I want you to get instant skills, so today's lesson, "Instant Advanced

我希望你能得到即时的技能，所以 今天的课程，“即时高级

Listening Skills". Well, how do you do that? Because, "instant" means

倾听技巧。”好了，你怎么办呢？ 因为，“即时”的意思

immediately, and you're probably thinking I've been practicing for months,

马上，你可能会想 我已经练了几个月，

or years and I still have trouble. We're going to fix that today,

或者几年，我仍然有麻烦。 我们打算今天解决，

if you follow the four steps.

如果你按照这四个步骤。

The first thing we want to talk about is this: "Don't think, just listen."

我们要谈的第一件事 是这样的：“不要以为，只是听。”

Now just imagine this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, boo-boo, blah,

现在想象一下这个，等等，等等， 等等，等等，等等，等等，嘘，嘘，等等，

blah, blah boo-boo blah, blah; crazy right? Well, people do this all the

等等，等等嘘声嘘声等等，等等;疯了吧？ 那么，人们做这一切的

time, even when they speak their own language. What I'm talking about is

时间，即使他们讲自己的语言。 我正在谈论的是

they are thinking while someone else is speaking.

他们在想而 别人说话。

And that's the problem, because if you have one voice going and then

这就是问题所在，因为如果 你有一个声音去，然后

another voice is going, what you're actually doing is carrying on two

另一种声音是怎么回事，你在做什么 实际上做两个正在进行

conversations -- and you get confused. So I often tell students "Don't do

对话 - 你得到困惑。 所以我经常告诉学生们“不要做

that. Don't think." For some people not thinking is kind of easy.

那。不要以为。”对于有些人 没有想到的那种轻松。

But this is special thinking. I'm saying, "Don't try to understand what

但是，这是特殊的思维。我 他说，“不要试着去了解什么

they're saying." Now if you go to the first video you go "Well, that's the

他们说，”现在，如果你去 第一视频你走“嗯，这就是

opposite of what you said." This is different. In advanced skills you

你说的是什么的对面。”这是不同的。 在先进的技能，你

might notice if I go, "woof" you know that's a dog. You don't sit there

如果我去可能会注意到，“汪汪”你知道 这是一只狗。你不坐在那里

and think "Is that a dog, or a squirrel, or a chicken or a cow?" You know

并认为“那是一只狗，或松鼠， 或鸡或牛？”你知道

it's a dog.

它是一只狗。

When someone's speaking just listen. I'm going to help you with something

当一个人的发言只是听。 我会帮你的东西

else that will make it easier for you to get the information, even if you

否则，将让你更容易 获得信息，即使你

don't think. So just let the information come to you, all right? Now

不觉得。所以只是让信息 进入你的大脑，好吗？现在

remember, "Don't think. Just listen." Because you can't understand two

记住，“不要想，只听。” 因为你不能立刻理解两段

conversations at once, that's the one in your head, and the one you're

交谈，这就是一个 在你的大脑中，你个是你正在听的

listening to. That's why we usually only let one person speak at a time.

听着。这就是为什么我们通常 只让一次让一个人说话。

Now what's the second thing? Well now you're sitting there listening.

现在，什么是第二件事情？好 现在你坐在那里听。

Here's a problem. If you listen to somebody for about 10 minutes; a long

这里有一个问题。如果你听 某人讲话10分钟;长

speech, tired is the first thing you're going to get. But that's not even

演讲中，累是你的第一件事情 要得到的。但是，这不是连

it; you're going to lose information. It's very difficult to listen to

它;你将会丢失信息。 长时间听一东西是非常困难的

something for a long time, and keep getting that information and keeping it

，并能够 获得这些信息，并保持它

fresh, especially if you're not thinking.

的新鲜度，特别是如果你没有想到。

So here's what we're going to do. We're going to break it into "chunks".

因此，这就是我们要做的。我们 将它分解成“块”。

"Chunks" means parts or pieces, so if you have a bigger piece, and you

“块”是指部分或块，所以 如果你有一个更大的块，你

break off a part it's called a "chunk". How do we break it into chunks?

打碎的部分，它被称为“块”的一部分。 我们该如何分解成块？

That's the second part of the formula -- ask questions.

这是的第二部分的 公式 - 提出问题。

"Engage to be engaged". "Engage" means to take part in or, for some people, get married,

“搞订婚”。 “搞”指取 部分，对于某些人来说，结婚，

right? Whatever, you know the wedding song.

对？无论如何，你知道婚礼歌曲。

Anyway, if you "engage" by asking questions, it brings in your curiosity

无论如何，如果你“从事”问 问题，它带来了你的好奇心

and it brings in your mind, or your brain to be fresh, to concentrate and

和它带来在你的心中，或你的 大脑是清醒的，集中精力，

that's what we need. We need you to focus on what you're hearing. Because

这就是我们所需要的。我们需要您 专注于你所听到的东西。因为

you are not actually thinking, by asking the question it helps you to take

你是不是真正思考，通过询问 这个问题它可以帮助你拿

that information and break it into "chunks" so you're not listening to long speeches.

这些信息并分解成“块” 所以你不需要听长篇大论。

But also by doing that what you're doing is you're allowing yourself well,

但是，你也得做一些让你变得更好的事情

later on for your brain to take the information, from the questions to

以后你的大脑取 信息，从问题中

understand, because the question has to be relevant. "Relevant" means,

理解，因为这个问题有 是相关的。 “相关”的意思，

has something to do with the situation at that time, all right?

有事情做在 当时的情况，好吗？

"Is it relevant?" So it will help you with thinking. Why are we doing this?

“是不是有关？”因此，它会帮助你思考。 我们为什么要这样做？

Well this is the "instant" part, believe it or not, because if you can do

嗯，这是“即时”的一部分，相信 它或没有，因为如果你能马上做到

this right away you will start noticing that you understand 60%-70%-80% of

这你会开始发现 您了解60％-70％-80％

conversations, right away. But I did lie a little bit. You need a little

谈话，马上。但我撒了一点点 谎。你在家需要一点点

practice at home to make this work. Because once we do this part, this

i练习，使它发挥作用。 因为一旦我们这样做的部分，这

will happen instantly. So let's go over to the board, all right?

会立即发生。让我们 看黑板，好吧？

Home practice; yes the dreaded "H-word". I could think of other words like

家庭练习;是可怕的“H字”。 我能想到的一样换句话说

my ex-girlfriend Helen, but that's another story. Home practice is

我的前女友海伦，但是这是 另一个故事。家庭练习是

absolutely necessary. And what I mean by this is we're going to do

绝对有必要。而我的意思是我们将要做的

something else I probably told you not to do. Or most teachers say they

事情我可能告诉你不要做。 大多数教师说，他们

say "Don't watch movies. They're too difficult, and you have to watch with subtitles."

说“不看电影，它们太难了， 你必须用字幕来观看。”

Personally I disagree with that. I've taught classes for years, and I

我个人不同意这一点。 我已经教课多年，我

would freak students out -- and "freak them out" means shock them or

会把学生吓走 - 和“吓跑他们”的意思吓着他们或

surprise them -- where they would come in, I'd put on an English movie,

他们惊吓 - 他们会进来 ，我在放英文电影，

where the English people were speaking as fast as I am, believe it or not,

在美国人说话和我 一样快，信不信由你，

and no subtitles, and they would freak out.

没有字幕， 他们吓坏了。

Like, "Oh, you're crazy! How do you expect us to learn?" But within one to

就像，“哦，你疯了！你希望我们怎么学习？”但一到

two weeks a lot of these students could get 50%, if not 80%. Oh, I lie;

两个星期很多这些学生能理解50％，但是没有80％。哦，我撒谎

50% to 60% of the movie, and in two months, 80%. Some of them even would go

50％到60%的电影的，并在两个月内达到80％。他们中有些人甚至会去

to the theater, and watch the movie in the theater, no subtitles! And

电影院，看电影 在电影院里，没有字幕！

there's a reason why I don't like subtitles.

还有一个原因，为什么我 不喜欢的字幕。

When I'm speaking to you words are not appearing under my mouth as I speak. (LOL)

当我和你说话时我说的话和我的嘴型不一样。 （大声笑）

This does not happen in reality. So when somebody says to you, you know,

这在现实中并不会发生。所以 当有人对你说，你知道，

"You need subtitles to understand." Think about it: there are no subtitles!

“你需要的字幕来理解。”想一下：有没有字幕！

So I don't think we should use them, not for advanced skills. If you're

所以，我不认为我们应该使用它们， 不是高级技能。如果你是

doing beginner skills, as I said, watch the first movie. That will help you

做新手技能，正如我所说，看 第一部电影。这将帮助你

or the first video.

或看第一个视频。

We should look at movies. First thing: no subtitles. The other thing I

我们应该看的电影。第一 事：没有字幕。另一件事我

want you to do is take a chunk. We used that word before. Like two

要你做的是采取一大块。 我们之前使用这个词。就像两句

or three sentences, maybe five, between two people. No more than five and

或三句话，也许五句，两个人之间。 不超过五

you play that same chunk over and over again.

你播放同一块 一遍又一遍地。

I recommend if you're just beginning, ten times down to a minimum of three

我建议，如果你是刚刚开始， 重复次数从十次降到了最低三

times. When you get really good three times is all you need, and you'll

倍。当你做好这三遍是你所需要的，你会

catch most of the information. Now, by doing this here's what I want you to

抓住大部分信息。现在， 这样做，这就是我要你

do. I didn't write it on the board, but now I need you to... "You need to

做。我没有把它写在黑板上， 但现在我需要你......“你需要

listen to me, because I'm going to explain."

听我的，因为我要解释一下。”

As you play the "chunks", what I want you to do -- or that scene -- is write out

当你播放的这“块”，我想要 你做的事情 - 或者那一幕 - 是写出来

every word you hear. Not some, not what you think, but exactly what you

你听到的每一个单词。而不是 你在想什么，但正是你所

hear. When you finish playing it, either three, or up to ten times, only

听到的。当你完成播放， 无论是三个或多达十次，

then can you put on the subtitles, yeah?

然后，你可以放字幕，是吗？

But this is different than what other teachers want you to do. What I'm

但是，这和其他老师要求你做的是不同 的。我

asking you to do is put the subtitles on, and compare what you wrote with

要求你要做的就是放出字幕 和你写的进行比较

what it says. Good. The reason why is then you can see what you're missing

它说什么。好。这样做的原因你可以看见你错过的东西

and whatever you're missing, you must practice out loud.

不管你错过什么， 你必须大声练出来。

So if there's a word, "blasphemy" and you've never seen it, of course

所以，如果有一个词，“亵渎” 你从来没有见过它，当然

you've never seen it, or heard it before. But if you said, "The act was

你从来没有见过它，或者从没听说过。 但是，如果你说：“这

blasphemous." You might know "the". You might know, "act". But,

亵渎神灵。”你可能知道‘’。 你可能知道，“采取行动”。但，

"blasphemous" you don't know. So practice it "blas-phe; blas-phe-ma;

“亵渎神明”你不知道。所以 练习它“BLAS-PHE; BLAS-PHE-MA;

blasphemous" until you can recognize it.

亵渎神明”，直到你能认它。

After you do that with all the missing words, play it again without

当你掌握所有错过的单词，再播放一遍没有字幕的

subtitles. Magic, you will notice instantly you can hear the words. You

。神奇地，你将会发现 突然你能听到这写单词。您

may know what they mean but you'll hear them, and that's extremely

可能知道他们的意思，但你会 听它们，这是非常

important, because if you can't identify something, you can't ask anyone to

重要的，因为如果你不能确定 什么，你不能要求任何人

explain it to you, right? Cool.

解释给你听，对不对？好。

So that's when we can play it with subtitles to help us fill in the gaps.

所以，这时候，我们可以播放 字幕来帮助我们填补空白。

"Gap" mean space. I've got a space here but gap means space between two

“差距”是指空间。我有一个空间 在这里，但差距意味着两者之间的空间

things. Now finally once you're finished, and we've done all that work

的东西。现在终于一旦你 说完，我们所做的一切

here, because it's a lot of work, I want you to watch it one more time, but

在这里，因为它是一个工作量很大任务，我希望你能多看它一次，但

close your eyes.

闭上你的眼睛。

Human beings are really interesting. They have found in science that when

人类是非常有趣的。 他们在科学发现，当

a human loses one sense; hearing, taste, vision, or touch, the other ones

人类失去一种感知能力;听力， 味道，视觉，或触感，其他的人

get better. When you close your eyes, it allows you to listen better or to

好转。当你闭上眼睛， 它可以让你更好地听或

focus more, so you can pick up more information. So, to recap, and when we

更专注，这样你就可以得到更多的信息。 因此，回顾一下，我们当

say "recap" it means to go over; to give you the important parts; by doing

说“回顾”就意味着走了过来;去 给你的重要部位;通过做

your home practice I can promise you, when you do this it will be easy.

你家庭练习，我可以向你保证， 当你这样做会很容易。

Now one small little thing, before we forget. Things that most teachers

现在，一个很细微的事，在我们忘记。 事情大多数教师

don't tell you. There is actually an order of movies you should watch, or

不会告诉你。实际上是一个有 电影的顺序，你应该看，或

programs or let's say media, you should watch to get the most out of your

程序或让我们说媒体，你应该 观看去得到最多的通过你

listening.

听的。

Number one: start with kids programs! Why? "I love you, you love me, we're

第一：先从儿童节目开始！为什么？ “我爱你，你爱我，我们是

one big happy family" and then they show you pictures. A big heart, "I

一个快乐的大家庭”，然后他们 给你展示一张照片。一颗大心，“我

make it easy for you to get it and then they explain it! First.

很容易让你理解它 然后他们解释吧！第一。

Next -- TV programs, once you're there and you're bored of it, and you're

下一步 - 电视节目，一旦你在那里 而你无聊的话，而你

love action movies, I won't say I'm stupid, but I love action movies.

爱情动作片，我不会说我 愚蠢的，但我喜欢动作片。

Why? Because they always explain any hard words. If there's something

为什么？因为他们总是解释任何很难的话。 如果有什么东西

hard, "It will be a catastrophe if this occurs." Someone will run in and

很难说，“这将是一场灾难，如果 发生这种情况。”有人会参与进来并且

the hero will go, "catastrophe" and the little nerd scientist -- "nerd"

英雄会走，“大灾难”和 小书呆子科学家 - “书呆子”

means uncool -- will run and go, "Catastrophe! Bad things will happen and
