00:08
Many people who are learning English love to read, but the problem they have is when
2
8660
7249
很多正在学习英语的人 阅读,但他们遇到的问题是当
00:15
they read English books, a lot of the times the books are too hard for them, so many students
3
15909
6260
他们很多时候看英文书 对他们来说太难了,所以很多学生
00:22
ask me: "Emma, what's a good book to read to help me learn English?"
4
22169
5811
问我:“埃玛,有什么好读的书 帮助我学习英语?”
00:27
So, today I'm going to tell you my piece of advice; what I think students should do if
5
27980
7260
所以,今天我要告诉你我的 忠告我认为学生应该怎么做
00:35
they like to read and they want to read English books.
6
35240
4130
他们喜欢阅读,也想阅读英语 图书。
00:39
I recommend reading comic books or graphic novels.
7
39370
5899
我建议阅读漫画或图画 小说。
00:45
Now, before I go any further, I wanted to say: "What is a comic book?
8
45269
5451
现在,在我进一步之前,我想 说:“什么是漫画书?
00:50
And what is a graphic novel?" and then I'm going to tell you why you should read these books.
9
50720
5640
什么是图画小说?”然后我 告诉你为什么你应该读这些书。
00:56
So, let me show you two examples.
10
56420
6659
因此,让我向您展示两个示例。
01:03
This is an X-Men comic.
11
63079
1961
这是X战警漫画。
01:05
Okay?
12
65040
1000
好的?
01:06
It's about superheroes; and then we have this book, Watchmen, is a graphic novel.
13
66040
6460
这是关于超级英雄的。然后我们有这个 这本书《守望者》是一本图画小说。
01:12
The difference is pretty much in the length.
14
72500
3450
差别在于长度。
01:15
Notice that this is very short, whereas this is a collection of comics-okay?-and it's in
15
75950
5780
请注意,这很短,而这 是漫画的集合吗?-它在
01:21
a book form.
16
81730
1840
书本形式。
01:23
So this is a graphic novel; this is a comic.
17
83570
3170
这是一本图画小说。这是漫画。
01:26
If you open these, there's all these colourful pictures with different conversation and a
18
86740
6610
如果打开这些,所有这些都丰富多彩 带有不同对话的图片和
01:33
storyline.
19
93350
1350
故事情节。
01:34
So, many people think that comics and graphic novels are for children.
20
94700
8270
因此,许多人认为漫画和图形 小说是给孩子们的。
01:42
This is not true.
21
102970
2280
这不是真的。
01:45
Many adults read comics and graphic novels.
22
105250
3640
许多成年人读漫画和图画小说。
01:48
And the reason why they are so good for people learning English is because they have so much
23
108890
7040
他们之所以对人如此好的原因 学习英语是因为他们有很多
01:55
conversation in them.
24
115930
1830
他们之间的对话。
01:57
So, if you read a novel, there are a lot of description, a lot of words, sometimes the
25
117760
8630
因此,如果您读小说,有很多 描述,很多单词,有时
02:06
author wants to write very poetically, and the language might not be the type of language
26
126390
7569
作者想写得很诗意, 语言可能不是语言类型
02:13
people usually use.
27
133959
2750
人们通常使用。
02:16
When you read comic books or graphic novels, the language is more about conversation, so
28
136709
7111
当您阅读漫画书或图画小说时, 语言更多是关于谈话,所以
02:23
you will see a lot of conversation language.
29
143820
3680
您会看到很多对话语言。
02:27
You will see language about common expressions people use, slang, common vocabulary we use
30
147500
9209
您将看到有关常用表达的语言 人们使用,语,我们使用的常用词汇
02:36
when we talk.
31
156709
2241
当我们聊天时。
02:38
When you read a novel, you don't really get as much of that.
32
158950
4610
当你读一本小说时,你并没有真正得到 尽可能多的。
02:43
Okay?
33
163560
1730
好的?
02:45
You will also see a lot of grammar in comics, as well as graphic novels.
34
165290
6569
您还将在漫画中看到很多语法, 以及图画小说。
02:51
And it's easier to read the grammar or to notice grammar points because sentences in
35
171859
5740
而且阅读语法或 注意语法点,因为句子中
02:57
graphic novels and comics are usually shorter, so you can see examples of the present perfect,
36
177599
6341
图画小说和漫画通常较短, 所以您可以看到目前完美的例子,
03:03
you can see examples of the future tense, you can see examples of the past perfect continuous.
37
183940
6639
您可以看到将来时的示例, 您可以看到过去完美连续的例子。
03:10
So there are a lot of great grammar points you can notice if you can read graphic novels
38
190579
4261
所以有很多很棒的语法要点 你会注意到你是否可以读小说
03:14
or comics.
39
194840
2830
或漫画。
03:17
Okay.
40
197670
2190
好的。
03:19
Another thing I wanted to talk about is people don't want to read comics sometimes because
41
199860
6389
我想谈的另一件事是人 有时不想看漫画,因为
03:26
they think they're always about superheroes, and some people don't like reading about superheroes.
42
206249
9330
他们认为自己一直都是关于超级英雄的, 有些人不喜欢阅读超级英雄。
03:35
Comics and graphic novels cover a lot of different genres.
43
215579
4871
漫画和图画小说涵盖了许多不同的方面 流派。
03:40
A "genre" is a way of saying a type.
44
220450
3319
“类型”是表达类型的一种方式。
03:43
So, for example, a movie genre is a romantic comedy, or an adventure movie, or a thriller.
45
223769
8480
例如,电影类型是浪漫的 喜剧,冒险电影或惊悚片。
03:52
These are all examples of genre.
46
232249
3380
这些都是流派的例子。
03:55
So, comics also have many different genres or types.
47
235629
5560
因此,漫画也有许多不同的流派 或类型。
04:01
Yes, there are superhero comics, like Watchmen or X-Men, but let me show you some of the
48
241189
6390
是的,有超级英雄漫画,例如守望者 或X战警,但让我向您展示一些
04:07
other types of comics you might come across.
49
247579
8341
您可能会遇到的其他类型的漫画。
04:15
Okay.
50
255920
3060
好的。
04:18
I have here a comic... or, sorry, a graphic novel called Maus.
51
258980
5120
我在这里有漫画...或抱歉,有图形 小说叫莫斯。
04:24
This book is about a family that lived during World War II and about the Holocaust, so this
52
264100
6710
这本书是关于一个住在 第二次世界大战和大屠杀,所以这
04:30
is a very serious book.
53
270810
1940
是一本非常严肃的书。
04:32
It's not for children.
54
272750
3000
不是给孩子的。
04:35
It's not a superhero genre; it's more of a drama.
55
275750
5990
这不是超级英雄类型;更像是 戏剧。
04:41
I have here this book, American Born Chinese.
56
281740
4740
我这本书是《美国出生的中国人》。
04:46
This book is about somebody's experience immigrating to the United States.
57
286480
4190
这本书是关于某人移民的经验 到美国。
04:50
So, again, it's about a person's real life experiences.
58
290670
6670
再次,这是关于一个人的真实生活 经验。
04:57
I have here the book Jerusalem.
59
297340
3530
我这里有耶路撒冷书。
05:00
This graphic novel-and so, it looks like a novel, but if you look, there's actually a
60
300870
3500
这本图画小说-因此,它看起来像 小说,但是如果你看,实际上是
05:04
lot of pictures-is actually about the Middle East and the history of the Middle East.
61
304370
9010
很多图片-实际上是关于中间的 东方和中东的历史。
05:13
And then I have this book, The Art of War, which is actually about... a philosophy book.
62
313380
8030
然后我有这本书《孙子兵法》 实际上是关于一本哲学书。
05:21
The Art of War, you might have heard of it.
63
321410
3430
您可能已经听说过《孙子兵法》。
05:24
This is the comic book version.
64
324840
2320
这是漫画版。
05:27
So, there are so many different types of graphic novels or comics, and they cover all different
65
327160
6210
因此,有许多不同类型的图形 小说或漫画,它们涵盖了所有不同的方面
05:33
types of genres.
66
333370
1450
流派类型。
05:34
So, whatever you like, you can probably find in comic book or graphic novel form, whether
67
334820
6010
因此,无论您喜欢什么,都可以找到 无论是漫画书还是漫画小说
05:40
it's romance, biography, comedy - there's many different types of graphic novels and comics.
68
340830
6490
这是浪漫史,传记,喜剧-有 许多不同类型的图形小说和漫画。
05:47
Let me put these back.
69
347380
2700
让我放回去。
05:50
So, one reason why reading graphic novels and comics can be so helpful for students
70
350080
7620
因此,阅读图画小说的原因之一 漫画对学生有很大帮助
05:57
is that there's a picture with the conversation, and so it's easier to guess what a word means
71
357700
8570
谈话中有一幅图画, 所以更容易猜出单词的意思
06:06
or to improve your understanding of a new word because you can look at a picture, and
72
366270
6090
或提高您对新产品的了解 因为您可以看一张图片,
06:12
that really helps you understand.
73
372360
2230
确实可以帮助您了解。
06:14
In regular novels there are no pictures, so you have to spend a lot of time looking through
74
374590
6040
在普通小说中没有图片,所以 你必须花很多时间浏览
06:20
a dictionary to understand the book.
75
380630
2160
字典以了解这本书。
06:22
In a graphic novel, you can often guess what something means just by looking at the picture.
76
382790
6760
在图画小说中,您经常会猜出什么 意思就是只看图片。
06:29
Okay.
77
389550
1660
好的。
06:31
And another reason why comics or graphic novels are great to read is you have a lot of different
78
391210
6561
漫画或图画小说的另一个原因 很棒,因为你有很多不同之处
06:37
characters; sometimes teenagers, sometimes adults, sometimes seniors.
79
397771
7169
字符有时候是青少年 成人,有时是老年人。
06:44
Different characters use different types of English.
80
404940
2880
不同角色使用不同类型的 英语。
06:47
Some people might use formal language, like a professor; some people might use informal
81
407820
5540
有些人可能会使用正式语言,例如 一位教授;有些人可能会使用非正式
06:53
language, like a teenager, they might use slang.
82
413360
3150
语言,就像青少年一样,他们可能会使用 俚语。
06:56
So, when you read a graphic novel or a comic, you can actually see and have an understanding
83
416510
6770
因此,当您阅读图画小说或漫画时, 您实际上可以看到并了解
07:03
of the type of English different people use.
84
423280
3680
不同的人使用的英语类型。
07:06
You can notice: "Okay, here's a picture of a senior or an elderly person.
85
426960
6580
您会注意到:“好吧,这是一张 老年人或老年人。
07:13
What words are they using?"
86
433540
2200
他们在用什么词?”
07:15
And then you might see a picture of a teenager, and you can think: "Okay, this person's a
87
435740
2920
然后您可能会看到一张少年的照片, 你会想:“好吧,这个人是一个
07:18
teenager.
88
438660
1000
青少年。
07:19
How are they speaking?
89
439660
1000
他们怎么说?
07:20
What words are they using?"
90
440660
1770
他们在用什么词?”
07:22
So there's a lot of information you can get from English from comics and graphic novels
91
442430
5120
因此,您可以获得很多信息 来自漫画和平面小说的英语
07:27
that you don't see in regular novels as easily.
92
447550
4120
您在普通小说中看不到那么容易。
07:31
So, just to recap: I think comics and graphic novels are great to... if you want to improve
93
451670
11290
总结一下:我认为漫画和图形 小说很适合...如果你想改善
07:42
your English and if you like reading.
94
462960
4290
您的英语,如果您喜欢阅读。
07:47
Comics and graphic novels are not just for children; there are many adult comics and
95
467250
5150
漫画和图画小说不仅是为了 孩子们有很多成人漫画,
07:52
graphic novels.
96
472400
2210
图文小说。
07:54
You can learn a lot by the conversation you will see in a comic or a graphic novel, and
97
474610
5751
通过对话,您可以学到很多东西 会在漫画或图画小说中看到,并且
08:00
you can use the picture to help you with your understanding.
98
480361
2319
您可以使用图片来帮助您 理解。
08:02
So, for these reasons I highly, highly recommend comics and graphic novels.
99
482680
8090
因此,出于这些原因,我强烈建议 漫画和图画小说。
08:10
Last thing I'm going to say: I have a lot of different comics and graphic novels I read.
100
490770
4560
我要说的最后一件事:我有很多 我读过的各种漫画和图画小说。
08:15
The ones you saw today are good ones, but there's so many that I love.
101
495330
5370
你今天看到的是好的,但是 我爱的太多了。
08:20
If you want to learn about Toronto, where I'm from, I recommend Scott Pilgrim, because
102
500700
5260
如果您想了解多伦多, 我来自,我推荐Scott Pilgrim,因为
08:25
that whole comic is about Toronto, so you can actually learn about another place.
103
505960
5360
那整个漫画都是关于多伦多的,所以你 可以真正了解另一个地方。
