提升英语听力的秘诀

提升英语听力的最好方法是什么?

What’s the best way to improve your listening?

本期我将分享给你这个非常实用的听力方法。

也就是我提升听力的方法。这个方法很有效。

I use to improve my listening. This technique works.

要是我能早点知道这个方法就好了。因为它操作简单，并且非常有效。让我们开始吧。

And I wish I had known this technique a lot sooner. Because it is easy to do and very effective. So let’s get started.

首先，我们来谈谈，为什么大多数人不能提高听力的原因。

First, let’s talk about why most people fail to improve their listening.

提升你的听力技能是耗费时间的。他是一个长期的过程。但是大多数人忘记了，或者他们对此一无所知。

Improving your listening skills takes time. It is a long-term process. But most people forget that, or they just don’t know.

所以当他们练习听力时，他们使用的方法不太方便，不太容易执行。

So when they practice listening, they use methods that are inconvenient，something that is not easy to do.

所以，他们不可能持续练习，长期练习。

So, it is impossible for them to continue. Doing if for a long time.

因此，大多数人在见效前，就放弃了。但是，我是怎么知道这个的? 是的，我知道这个，因为我犯过同样的错误。

As a result, most people quit before they get any results. But how do I know this? Well, I know this because I have made the same mistake.

我曾经尝试过几种不太方便的方法。例如，把一部电话看两遍，（这种事你们都干过吧！）第一遍带字幕，然后不带字幕。那太枯燥了。所以，在看到第四部电影时，我放弃了。

I have tried several methods that were inconvenient, like watching the same movie twice with subtitles first and then without subtitles. That was so boring, so I quit after the fourth movie.

我也尝试过练习听力，然后将我听到的内容写出来。但是工作量太大了，我忙不过来。

I also tried listening and then writing down what I heard. But that was too much work and I was too busy.

所以，让我们回到问题本身。你如何确定，你不会重蹈覆辙？ 是的，如果你想成功的话，你必须采用合适的方法。一定要简单易行。如果不是，你很可能，在你看到成效前放弃。

So let’s take this back to you. How do you make sure that you don’t fail like I did? Well, if you want to succeed, the method you use must be convenient. It must be easy to do. If it is not, you’ll probably quit before you see an improvement.

所以，让我分享给你提升英语听力的最方便的方法吧。这个方法非常简单。你只需要做两步。

So let me share with you the most convenient way to improve your listening. It’s very simple. There are only two steps that you need to take.

第一步是：下载大量的听力材料放在你的手机或者MP3上。现在，最佳的听力材料是那些人们自然交流的材料。他们在进行真实的对话。当你采用这种听力材料时，你听到人们在现实生活中使用的，大量的普通的日常词汇。现在不要担心。在本文结尾，我将会给你提供资源，免费下载这种材料的资源。

Here’s the first step: 1) Download a lot of listening materials to your phone or mp3 player. Now, the best listening materials are the ones where people are just talking naturally. They’re just having real conversations. When you use this kind of materials, you are listening to a lot of common, everyday words that people use in real life. Now don’t worry. At the end of this article, I‘m going to give you a resource you can go to download this kind of materials for free.

所以，这就是第一步。下一步非常重要。不要错过这一步。下一步是听这些听力材料。现在关键的一点是：不要在你有空的时候做，相反，在你准备做别的事情时，做。在做一些不需要放在心上的事情时。

So that is the first step. The next step is very important. Do not miss this step. The next step is to listen to the materials. But here’s the key: DO NOT do it in your free time. Instead, do it when you’re already doing something else. Something that doesn’t require much of your attention.

在你上下入的时候，在你排队的时候，在锻炼的时候，等等，听这些材料。用这些时间来练习听力。所以，你没有必要花费额外的时间。现在，我们为什么要这么做? 当它容易做的时候，你才有可能长期坚持下去。如果你坚持地足够长，你的听力能力绝对会提升。

Listen to the materials while commuting, while waiting in line, while exercising, and so on. Use those times to practice listening. So that you don’t have to spend extra time. Now, why do we have to do this? When it is easy to do, you’re likely to do it for a long time. And if you do it long enough, your listening skills will definitely improve.

现在我说说那些可能会吓到你的东西。让我们将它和看电影对比一下。如今有很多人用看电影来提升听力能力。如果你今天开始采用这个方法，从现在开始的一年内每天花30分钟的时间，你将会听10950分钟的日常对话。这是很长的听力训练了。因为你不是在你空闲时做的，所以耗费的额外时间是零。那太棒了！

Now let me show you something that might shock you. Let’s compare this technique with watching movies which is how many people improve their listening. If you start using this technique today, and if you do it for 30 minutes per day, one year from now, you will have listened to 10,950 minutes of real English conversations. That’s a lot of listening. And because you’re not doing it in your free time, the amount of extra time spent is zero. That is awesome.

那看电影呢?首先，在一部电影里在每一部分都要有一段谈话，或者是对话，对吗?如果你看一部动作片，你可能看到打斗的场面，一场爆炸，汽车追逐，等等。

What about watching movies? First of all, in a movie, there isn’t a conversation or a dialogue in every part, right? If you watch an action movie, you might see a fight scene, an explosion, a car chase scene, and so on.

所以，让我们算个平均数，一部电影的长度是100分钟，其中50%是对话。剩下的是的东西。如果你一周看四部电影或者一年看208部电话，在一年内，你将听到10400分钏非现实的英语对话。最糟糕的是因为每部电影都有100分钟长，这个方法需要你花费20800分钟的空余时间。

So let’s say that on average, the length of a movie is 100 minutes. 50% of those are conversations. The rest is something else. If you watch 4 moves a week or 208 movies a year, in one year, you will have listened to 10,400 minutes of fake English conversations. Now here’s worst part: because each movie is 100 minutes long, this method requires you to spend as much as 20,800 minutes of your free time.

这真的，真的很悲哀。现在，让我们来比较一下这两种方法。我有一个问题想问你。如果你采用这种方法而不是看电影，你一年节省了20000多分钟的时间。你如何使用这些时间，看英文书籍来提升你的词汇量，练习口语，或者是别的事情，请发表评论，并让我知道。所以你现在知道这种方法的力量了吧。让我多啰嗦几句，这是一个长期的过程。它需要花费时间。所以请耐心一点。

This is really, really sad. Now let’s compare the two methods side-by-side. Now I have a question for you. If you use this technique instead of watching movies, and you save over 20,000 minutes per year, how would you spend these 20,000 minutes? Reading English books to increase your vocabulary? Practicing speaking? Or something else? Leave a comment and let me know. So now you know the power of this technique. Let me repeat something important. This is a long-term process. It takes time. So please be patient.

幸运的是，现在你知道这个技巧了。所以，我知道你会成功的。好了，现在该让我分享一些听力材料给你了。但是，首先我想让你帮个忙。因为我花费了一点时间，写成文字，供大家阅读，然后找相关的材料。如果这个文章对大家有用的话，请转发到朋友圈、微博等地方。下载听力材料。当然，英语听力贵在坚持，这里建议的方法是从真实的日常对话场景入手，或者是一个不错的方法哦，加油！

Fortunately, now you know this technique. So I know that you’ll succeed. OK. Now it’s time for me to share some listening materials with you. But first, I want to ask you a favor
