看电影学英语

 

Bring your dictionary.

 

拿着你的词典。

 

Maybe I'll addpoint 3.5 too – choose a film with subtitles²! So when you hear a word you're interested in, check it up! Because you went through the trouble to understandit…you'll be able to remember that word for a long time too!

 

或许我要补充一点——选一个有字幕的电影!所以当你听到一个你感兴趣的单词时，用字典查一下。因为你理解它会有困难……之后的很长一段时间都会记住这个单词。

 

Repeat short phrases⁴! Some times, you might hear something cool in the movie. For example, some short phrases, orslang like, "hell³ yeah!", or "sure thing", or "youbetcha!" that are commonly used in English. If you like how it sounds, itreally helps to repeat it! After saying it out loud a while, you will be ableto remember it for a longer time! It's a great and enjoyable exercise – one of my personal favourites.

 

重复短语。有时，你或许会在电影里听到一些很酷的表达。例如，有些短语或俚语，比如“Hell yeah!”或者“sure thing”，或者“you betcha!”(都表示“当然，没错”)在英语中很常用。如果你喜欢它的读音，多重复会很有帮助。大声朗读一会，你能记住更长的时间!这是个很棒又让人愉悦的联系——我自己的最爱之一。
