❶ 【分享】看电影学英语的方法
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电视电影学英语的5个绝佳妙招。很多人通过这种方法熟练掌握英语,这样学习的好处在于,你可以结合语境,而不是单纯照着词表背单词。
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.
这样学习记得更牢。而且你还可以直接跟母语者学习,只要方法得当,这样学到的发音会精确很多,远胜光靠书本默读。
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.
不过看电视电影学英语也不是无师自通的,大家运用我教的窍门,学习效果会更好。
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.
如果你能将这些窍门融汇到日常观影习惯中,就掌握了一项语言学习的新利器。请注意,你不能抱着放松身心,舒缓精神的心态来观影。这是在学英语,要付出努力,这是学习过程的一部分。
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.
我们开始吧!第一个窍门: 量力而为,如果听力对你来说比较困难,你想重点锻炼一下,那就从人物较少,相对安静的场景开始。
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.
我很喜欢剧情类影片,因为相对来讲语速较慢《她》这部电影非常合适,语速慢、发音清晰。"着什么急?"比较容易听懂吧。
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.
如果你的听力已经很好,想学习新的词汇和表达。或者进一步提升难度,挑战自我,可以选择环境嘈杂的场景,或者角色讲话带口音的影视作品。
"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.
"就得这样,不然咱们只能改行了,哥们儿"这样大概比较难懂。总之,要根据自己的水平量力而为,不要选几乎完全听不懂的素材。
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.
第二个窍门: 选择合适的播放工具,可以通过控制栏调出字幕快进快退那种。网飞和HBO Go的界面都有这种功能,我不是在帮他们打广告啦!
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.
你也可以在油管上搜索自己感兴趣的话题,运用过滤器筛选带官方字幕的视频。
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.
不过油管视频播放器不太容易快退,不能像网飞和HBO Go那样退后几秒,那两家有后退十秒的按钮,所以我觉得经济条件允许的话下可以考虑订阅一下,很有帮助。
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.
你也可以在油管上搜索自己感兴趣的话题,运用过滤器筛选带官方字幕的视频。不过油管视频播放器不太容易快退,不能像网飞和HBO Go那样退后几秒。
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.
那两家有后退十秒的按钮,所以我觉得经济条件允许的话下可以考虑订阅一下,很有帮助。这回听出来了吗?把听出来的全部记下来,专门准备一个笔记本记录这些,手机应用当然也行,我比较喜欢手写。
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.
之后打开字幕,倒回去再听一遍,带字幕重新看一遍,或许你没听懂的是个生词,之前没有碰到过。这很好,这样积累词汇也不错。
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.
把这个生词记下来,查字典,把整句都记下来。最好把剧集或电影还有相应场景也记下来,记录语境绝对有助于你牢记这个单词,不过当你带字幕回放之后也有可能发现所有单词都认识。
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 rections in there that made it very hard to identify the word.
怎么就是没听懂?这个问题很重要,解决这个难题是提高听力的关键所在,是不是语速过快。
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.
或者句中有略读现象,使得某个单词很难辨析。又或者某个单词的发音与你预想的完全不一样,把整句都写下来圈出没听懂的单词,用快退键反复播放... 重听五次,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.
看看哪些单词的读音出乎你的意料,仔细聆听母语者如何发音。更重要的是,要自己大声读几遍,尽量模仿母语者的发音。
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.
把正确的发音记在本子里,或者还可以更进一步,登陆Youglish.com网站,输入你没听懂的这个单词或表达,寻找别的范例,仔细听其他母语者如何发音。
Is it reced? 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.
是略读了吗?一开始为什么没听出来?这样的努力肯定会有成效,Youglish网站可以搜索自带英字的油管视频,还可以选择美式英语,多个视频换着听。
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.
还能在同一视频中快进或快退,获得完整语境,对英语学习很有帮助,就像拍电影一样,我换了套戏服。
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.
第四个诀窍: 复习!既然你已经花了这么多功夫观看、暂停、做笔记、积累单词、记录语境了,一定要巩固学习成果才对得起自己的努力。
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 ring your lunch break, you can remind yourself what you learned yesterday.
看电影学英语专用笔记本要随身携带,这样你一有空闲时间。比如等待约见、通勤或午休,就可以趁机复习前一天所学的知识。
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.
如果学到新词汇,可以尝试用它造句,抓住一切机会放声使用这些词汇或表达。
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.
第五个诀窍: 切勿好高骛远。别妄想一天学会100个生词,那太多了,学5个、6个就够了。结合语境,复习七天,学习效果一定不错。
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.
太过急功近利效果反而不好,最后记住的不多,而且会搞得自己精疲力尽。我教大家的这个方法非常耗时耗力,但也坚实可靠,保证你学有所获。
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.
如果你刚看几分钟就学到了5到10个实用词汇或表达,就犒赏自己吧!合上笔记本,尽情享受接下来的观影体验。
There is a wealth of TV shows and movies that you can use to help you learn English and speak like a native. What's your favorite movie or show to use to study English with? Let me know in the comments...that will give ideas to everyone else.
影视剧为我们提供了丰富多彩的学习素材,帮你掌握地道英语。你觉得哪部剧或电影最适合用来学英语?欢迎在评论区留言...
❷ 求英语作文,关于英文电影对学习英语的帮助
To watch English movies will help us improve our English levels as well as know something about the cultures in the English-speaking countries. As for how they can influence our daily life or really impact our thoughts and concepts of value, different people may hold different comments. To be more detailed, there're several advantages we can take from watching English movies in different situations.
Firstly, if the English movies are subtitled in English, we can learn the oral English in a writing forml. We may notice the grammar, the slangs,which we are not familiar with when we learn English with a text book. They help us get a rough frame of the speaking habits of the foreigners and tell us what to say in an informal occasion.
Secondly, if the English movies are substitled in two languages,namely,Chinese and English, we can pay attention to the translation work, and it will be easy to learn a new word. How the English subtitle is translated into good Chinese,how the work is successfully done will keep us in touch with a higher level of studying English.
Thirdly, if the English movies aren't subtitled in either language, we may improve our listening skills. When we pay attention to the pronounciation,tone,accent of the foreigners, we can speak their lines after them. In this case, our spoken English will be more native and authentic.
All in all, English movies help us a lot in learning English. We can entertain us,and at the meantime, we learn something. Therefore,watching English movies is indeed a good method for English learners.

I like to learn English by watching English movies.
我喜欢通过看英语电影学习英语
❺ 看电影学英语的技巧
通过看美剧或者英剧等英语电影是我们学习英语或者提高英语水平的一个方法。下面是我给大家整理的,供大家参阅!
第一步:先在网上看电影的中英文剧情简介,至少能对情节有所了解,然后不带任何字幕看一遍。
第二步:边看电影边看英文字幕,遇到不懂的东西就一定要记下来。
第三步:精听 争取听懂每一个单词,采取听写,跟读,听读的方法。
第四步:模仿 将里面的东西弄懂以后,就是完完全全的模仿,要把自己当作里面的演员。
第五步:选择一个翻译的较好的中文字幕做对照,看看哪里还有问题,及时进行改正。
具体操作方法
第一步:
1、选片:可以说决定了学习效果的好坏
初级学员,建议大家选择电影的时候以题材轻松、内容简单、画面对语言说明作用强为原则。
这样有助于大家通过电影的画面情节猜出语言的含义,避免学习中因过多的听不懂、看不懂而去寻求字典等其他手段帮助而导致的疲劳现象。
推荐电影:以迪斯尼的动画片为主 Sound of Music, Finding Nemo, Lion King, Beauty and Beast 等等 Garfield 加菲猫
中级学员,除了学习语言本身外,更要提高对英语文化背景知识的了解,因此选择一些历史题材的影片进行学习非常重要。
推荐电影:Forrest Gump, Heaven Earth, Troy, Patriot, Brave Heart, Gone With the Wind 等等。这些电影只供用来学习文化背景,不推荐用于学习语音,词汇,交指迹流
对自己的水平比较有信心的同学可以选择Sex and the City, Friends 等等时下比较流行的肥皂剧,通过剧情学习一些比较地道的口语表达,让自己的英语显得更加的地道。口语听力提高
英语非常牛的同学,可以泛看一些其他型别和主题的电影,如关于政治,战争,商务,犯罪,黑帮题材等等,记住只是泛看,但每一部片至少要看三遍。
2、查片子的资料:推荐两个网站 中文和英文主要是查剧情简介
3、第一遍看的时候,由于不带任何字幕,很多同学很不习惯可悲的是:我们已经习惯于把自己当作英语弱势群体,只要看英文电影就自动稿逗链地依赖中文字幕,给大家的建议是,不要在意结果,不要在意你看懂多少,听懂多少,看的过程一定要身心愉悦,把注意力集中在自己懂的地方来聚整合就感,很多人放弃都是因为没有成就感!!!!
这里面推荐大家用kmplayer播放器播放从网上下载的电影或powerdvd来播放买的DVD,这两种软体都可以自由调字幕
第二步:
1、这一步是最耗时耗力的啦
耗时耗力是因为你要不断的停下来查单词,不断地停下来记下不会的短语,俚语,句型,表达方法,不断地被残酷的看不懂,听不懂的事实打击!
2、那这一步到底应该做些什么呢?
首先要将所有不懂的东西都记在一个叫做电影学习本的东东
这步搞定后,就是把他们弄懂,但这里就有一个问题,电影里不是所有你不懂的都要掌握的,哪些是必须要掌握的,哪些是知道就了解行呢?自学的话你很难去确定,很难抓住重点
举个例子《阿甘正传》中,阿甘在表达自己极爱吃巧克力时说,自己可以吃下"一百五十万块巧克力", I could eat about a million and a half of these. "million"一词在本句中是大量的意思,而并非说阿甘有过人之处,通过对"million"用法的分析,你们会对美国人的日常用语中用夸张的语气表示数量多的用法,有一个更直观的了解。自学的时候很难体会到这点的,大多数人就理解为百万
第三步:
1、无庸赘言,这种方法最大的好处就是可以锻炼听力。这种电影听力不像听磁带那样干巴巴的,可以通过事件发展的逻辑推理,感觉到台词的意思,或者可以多看几遍电影,熟知内容后对台词自然就有感觉了。
大家发现没有,四六级等考试的听力和电影听力就是小巫见大巫
2、这里只讲精听键孙,但一定也要进行泛听,精听就要求听写,听读,最后同声复述,这个过程要自己下功夫练
3、关于听力的三要素:语音,词汇,反应速度,用电影可以全部搞定。先说语音:它不仅包括单词的发音,还包括真实交际中词汇、习语的连读、失爆、弱化、浊化、重音、缩读等许多音变形。而电影中包涵了所有这些方面。这里面又有一个问题,因为发音是中国人最头疼的问题,在这方面给大家有一定的辅导,但是修行靠个人,发音真的是需要苦练的。
发音的重要性:发音没有,就不要提别的了
然后说词汇,词汇方面Bobby老师的滚动听读法可以完全解决这个问题。
但只把词汇掌握是不够的,还有很多东西要学,于是下一个就是反应速度:包括俚语,俗语,思维等,电影当然是最好的媒介,听不懂往往是因为出现了很多俚语和俗语,或者不理解一些话。而这些东西都与文化有关。
如何通过看电影提高英语听力和口语
对于看电影学习英语很多同学都吃不同的看法!有的学生反映效果很好呀!寓教于乐,又能学习英语同时还可以看电影;但是同时也有部分学生反映看电影学英语效果不大,没有发现自己的听力和口语有所提高。因此,今天我们就来说说看电影学英语这个方法。
其实同学们最一开始的听力,并不是通过看电影提高的。你见过一个1岁的小朋友什么都听不懂呢就在电视机前看电视嘛!所以对于很多朋友来说就算是利用电影来学习英语也是要有一定的英语水平。
最一开始看电影,建议大家看中央六台那种的,中文配音,中文字幕,跟英文不沾边。之后才应该开始看英文版的,当然一开始你也可以要有字幕的。但是在这里有一点需要强调的是听电影和听新闻绝对不是一回事,就算你BBC和VOA都听得百分之百了,电影绝对有听不出来的东西,一是因为角色发音各种奇怪,各种口音,二是因为新闻里是正式用语,而电影里是俚语偏多,语速快的时候能吓死人。
所以你要是选择用电影练习听力,建议最好有听力基础,至少VOA的水平应该能听懂百分之七十。可以选择一部你最喜欢的百看不厌的电影,反复看好几遍,遇到听不懂的地方,拖回来重新听,听了五遍以上若是还没听懂,就不要听了,直接挂字幕看看人家说的是啥,看到subtitle以后再分析一下你为啥没听懂,如果单词明明都认识,但你就是没听懂,那八成就是因为吞音连音等问题。这些问题很好解决,你自己学会这样的读法,下次就能听懂了,还是一个语音识别的问题。
如果你决定用电影来提高听力,那你一定要记住你看这个电影的目的不是for fun,是要练听力,所以别看着看着太高兴,到后来直接挂著字幕一路看过去,那样就没有效果啦。谁最一开始都不习惯看裸片即无字幕,你得坚持住,哪怕半懂不懂半猜半懂得也得看完,多看几遍,多听几遍,就明白了。然后再外挂字幕看。
而对于大家常说的,英语水平没问题但还是听不懂这点上,一般来说是缺乏对画面的分析,在短短两分钟左右的预告片里,很有可能突然插出来一句莫名其妙的台词,这个时候如果能仔细分析背景画面,就能分析出来很多剧情。因为每个预告片里,总有那么一句两句是听不懂的,这就是缺乏练习,得多练多练。
害死老生长谈语言能力的提高,没有任何捷径而言。有捷径,书山有路勤为径听说读写四项能力,都是硬功夫,你什么时候不狠下心死练,是不会有实质性提高的。我想起了XDF一个老师说的经典的话,能力提高的最大捷径就是努力,但是努力最痛苦,所以很少人能走成捷径。So,如何提高,其实人们自己心里都清楚,但还是会期望度很高的去问别人该如何做,当得到一个答案的时候,自己又失望,怪人家没有把"真经"传授给你。但其实,世上根本没有什么真经,没有秘诀,唯一有的,只有一日一日的切实付出。如果你能疑虑的少一些,付出的多一些,你的听力早就上去了。
所以,赶快抓起任何一个材料,只要是native speaker说的东西,开始练吧。时间很宝贵。
Hard work counts,其他都是扯淡。
一下是看电影学习英语的一些具体的学习方法:
第一遍,带中文字幕看一遍
一遍把当初那种英语语感找回来,所谓的感觉,就是在内心独白的时候都是英语,说话的第一个反应也是英文。
第二遍,带英文字母一遍
一开始的英文字幕就会觉得很不错,但到后面的越做越差,真是没法看,完全就当了剧本。第二次看,基本都能听懂了,都可以帮着DVD校对字幕,校对的过程中,听力本身就是一个提升。
第三遍,去掉字幕,第三遍是最痛苦的,也是最能升华的一个阶段。
去掉字母有一个好处,就像丢了柺棍,你听起来就不会像看着英文字母那样一下就反映到脑子里,还要想一下,哦,这个单词是什么来着,因为我们很多时候对于掌握了的单词,突然冒出来,还是会思维停滞一下,就在这停滞的一下,新的内容又冲进来了,你就顾此失彼,到最后,前面的没想起来,后面的又忘了听,刚开始的时候是懊丧不已,因为前两遍的信心全被他给摧毁了,不过没关系,很正常的么,这个地方,你就要不停的重复听,所以你买DVD机比较好,有那个A-B重复健,可以无限重复你要听的句子,你总有想起来的那一刻吧!

❼ 如何看电影学英语
有人说要学好英语,可以多看电影,不过条件是每场电影至少要学到四、五个词组。接下来,我给大家准备了如何看电影学英语,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
如何看电影学英语
1.抛开中文字幕
有人说要学好英语,可以多看电影,不过条件是每场电影至少要学到四、五个词组。如果不看中文字幕,你做得到吗?早在八、九年前,当时还没有DVD这种时髦的玩意儿,为了帮助同学们起步,语言中心动员所属教职员,挑选部分影片制作电影讲义,将关键词汇或词组整理出来,学习者看到相关片段时,就可以仔细聆听,模仿剧中人物的发音、腔调、口气甚至肢体语言。而时至今日,因为 教育 产品新宠儿 英语学习 软件的出现,更造福了广大的英语学习者,不需要用封箱胶带将中文字幕遮蔽起来,也可以轻松切换成英文字幕或无字幕来练习听力。同学们可以多多利用这些高效的语言学习资源,训练自我独立学习的能力。
2.选择影片
看电影学英语的重点不在于片子的新旧,也无关乎你是否曾经看过,而是要根据个人的英语程度或特定的学习目标来选择适合的影片。比如说,你想学现代的日常生活用语,当然就不要挑古装片;而想了解新闻记者怎么作二十秒归纳报导,可以考虑如「因为你爱过我」(Up Close&Personal)之类的片子,因为剧中主角的职业就是记者,部分TV-reporting的场景可以拿来当作学习范例。一个学期可以选定二、三部片子,每周安排时间自我学习,将「看电影学英语」成为你固定要进行的功课。
下面就来谈谈要怎么选片,笔者概要举出三大方向:
①浪漫喜剧,学生活会话
「我的英听能力普通而已,如果电影没有中文字幕,我听得懂吗?」这是一定没问题的啦!没有把握的人,一开始可以先从爱情片下手,因为好莱坞的浪漫喜剧不仅有俊男美女,而且题材软性轻松,每每受到观众喜爱;这类讨论男女关系的电影,时空背景又多设定于现代,剧中人物的生活不至于与现实脱节太大,观众很容易就能产生共鸣。此外,有些对白场景与日常生活情境相关,值得学习者留意,比方说上餐馆点菜或与人 辩论 等等;甚至,透过剧情还能了解英美等国的风土 文化 ,比如说婚礼或节庆的习俗。80年代末的「当哈利碰上莎莉」(When Harry Met Sally)以及90年代末的「电子 情书 」(You've Got Mail),里头就有好几段对白可以拿来学习。
②经典名片,赏隽永对白
「怀旧老片是不是很无聊啊?」假使你把「老电影」跟「沉闷无聊」画上等号,那你就错了!事实上,现代的电影经常是老片新拍,要不然就是在电影里引述经典之作的台词。比如上述的「当哈利碰上莎莉」一片中,主角之间的对白就扯到「北非谍影」(Casablanca);而「电子情书」的 故事 灵感其实源自「傲慢与偏见」(Pride andPrejudice)。这类永垂不朽的老片虽然少了那么一点煽情的画面、通俗的 俚语 ,但还是蛮有可看性的,可以看看老一辈的人遣词用字一派优雅,字里行间透露出「发乎情,止乎礼」的韵味。另外,如果你想更上一层楼,可以试试改编自文学巨着的老片,比如「咆哮山庄」(Wuthering Heights),这类文学作品通常也是美国高中程度的学生就应该要涉猎的。
③其他主题
除了上述两种类型的电影之外,一般剧情片的主题包罗万象,小自人生哲理,大至国家要事,同样可以拿来当作学习的教材,进一步训练批判性思考或口语简报申论的能力。不过,剧情片的对白通常要比浪漫喜剧来的多,而且情节较为复杂,探讨的主题若是扯上国家社会问题,也会显得较为严肃,学习者可要有点耐性。举个例子,「天人交战」的英文片名是"Traffic",这可不能翻译成「交通」喔!其实这是一部drug movie,traffic在这里是指非法交易。片中麦克道格拉斯(Michael Douglas)主演的法官经总统任命为全国的Drug Czar,率领打击犯罪。不料,这名法官却发现自己的女儿染上了毒瘾,此时做父亲的心里想必是「天人交战」啰!所以全片充斥的主题除了drug dealing(交易)、smuggling()、drug addiction(毒瘾),还有政治权谋以及父女关系。(Czar原指俄国沙皇,可以引申为掌权者、领导者,总统将全国的drug problems都交给他去打理发落,所以称为Drug Czar;如果是负责能源危机的最高官员,就是Energy Czar。)
诸如此类的剧情片除了能让学习者接触到生活会话以外的字汇用语,还可以透过故事情节,设身处地用英语去思考,如果你是剧中人,要如何处理状况解决问题。另外,选听室还有一系列介绍自然科学的Discovery Channel Video及National Geographic Video,这类影片的旁白(narration)并不像一般对话那样随性,而比较像是一篇 文章 ,因此 句子 比较长,文法也比较复杂,不过学习者可以留意优美的句型结构,从中学习写作技巧。
3.掌握诀窍
别以为把一部电影重复看十次,英语就能进步,你要懂得 方法 ,重点学习,学什么呢?学剧中人的遣词用字,想想他们为什么这么说,看看他们如何将语言灵活运用于情境之中,如果可以的话,最好还要学学他们展现在语言上的幽默,这一点最为困难,即使是苦读英语十年的人也不一定学得来。照这么说来,利用电影学英语其实工程浩大,无法一蹴可就,这种自我学习是重质不重量,只要功夫下的扎实,就算你每次只花十五分钟或半小时来学习一小片段,也绰绰有余了。下面笔者就献上几招看电影学英语的诀窍,并以电影中的对白为例,可供同学们订定这种自我 学习计划 时参考。
①准备电影笔记簿
「工欲善其事,必先利其器。」请准备一本笔记簿,好记下你在影片中发现的关键词汇或剧中人的 名言 妙语,长久下来,这本笔记簿就成了你个人整理的电影名句数据库。尤其老外说话或写作时,总喜欢引经据典,同样的一句话,如果表明是出自于某某古人或某某电影,马上就显得很有水平的样子。比方说在「乱世佳人」(Gone with the Wind)一片中,逞强的郝思嘉即使到最后夫离子亡,她还是有办法说\"Tomorrow is anotherday.",现在这句台词已经成了大家耳熟能详的话,别人失意沮丧的时候,你就可以说,It's not the end of the world.Just like Scarlett O'Hara said,"Tomorrow is another day.",意思是「地球不会因此而停止转动,就像郝思嘉说的,『明天又是新的开始』。」
②了解剧情概要
起跑前,要做好预备动作,先大致了解故事的来龙去脉,再进行后续的重点学习。纵使因为没有中文字幕,无法百分之百看懂也无所谓,听懂多少,就算多少。边看边随手写下你「抓得住」的关键词,串联成concept map,「理解」加上「联想」,先大致拼凑出故事架构还有电影想探讨的主题。下面就用「当哈利碰上莎莉」做为范例,影片一开始两人甫自大学 毕业 ,因共乘一辆车前往纽约,沿途一直斗嘴,终于引出本片的主题-「男人女人不能是朋友吗?」所以,这一段剧情就可以简略转化为图表。将故事用这种图表简单组织出来,可以培养做摘要的能力,跟自己玩玩"Watch and Tell"的游戏,试着用英语概述情节大纲,或者针对电影探讨的主题,用自己的话表达个人看法,训练口说能力。
③选择片段学习
用电影来学英语,不用强求自己每一个字每一句话都要听懂了,百分之百确定了,才要继续往下看,这样反而会阻碍了学习的兴趣。其实当你画出大致的concept map,就可以帮助你回忆剧情,你只要挑出重点段落,分段来学习就行了。「当哈利碰上莎莉」中有个片段,描述吊儿郎当的哈利搭上莎莉的便车之后,为了打发时间,总要打开话匣子,于是想跟莎莉聊聊life story,两人在车内的这段对白就有好几处值得留意:
Harry:Why don't you tell me the story of your life?…We've got 18 hours to kill before we hit New York.
Sally:The story of my life isn't even going to get us out of Chicago.I mean nothing\'s happened to me yet.That's why I'm going to New York.…I can go into journalism school to become a reporter.
Harry:So you can write about things that happen to other people.
Sally:That's one way to look at it.
Harry:Suppose nothing happens to you.Suppose you lived out your whole life and nothing happens.You never meet anybody,you never become anything,and finally you die in one of those New York deaths which nobody notices for two weeks until the smell drifts into the hallway.
「打发时间」叫"kill time",这段路程要18小时,所以哈利说"we've got 18 hours to kill",另外,"hit"在这里引申为「抵达目的地」的意思。莎莉的回答可绝了,"The story of my life isn't even going to get us out of Chicago.",字面上的意思是车子还没驶离芝加哥,可能就把她的一生全讲光了,其实就是说她的生活平淡无奇,没什么好说的。你看看这句话里没有一个难字,但是听起来多么生动贴切啊!这就是我们要学起来的。后来哈利嘲讽她,一个什么都没经历过的人(哈利尤其是在暗讽莎莉缺乏男女 经验 ),要怎么成为报导他人经历的记者?最后还叫莎莉当心成为纽约的独居老人,说不定死了两周传出尸臭味了,才被人发现唷!(drift是漂/飘流的意思)像这样只有几分钟的对白,就可自成一个段落,反复看个几次,不仅学到了字词的用法,还能看看两人一句来一句去之间所展现的幽默。
④从影片中记单字词组
是否很多人都有这种感觉?英文课本整理的单字或词组,背的愈多,忘的也不少,单单覆诵那些字母的组合,根本与字义兜不起来,更别提拿出来用,当然会「今日背,今日忘」。但是看着电影来学就不同了,透过剧情及影像,可以强化这个字在我们脑子里的印象,而且当你随着剧中人物跟读(shadowing),还能顺便模仿发音及语气等等。什么是跟读?shadowing就是像影子般紧紧地跟着念,你也可以说成echoing,像回声一样地模仿。随着剧中人物跟读,可以同时训练耳朵及嘴巴的反应。
例如,obnoxious意思是「讨人厌的」,在准备托福 留学 考试的字汇书里,这个字被列为要达六百分以上的必背单字,由此可知它的难度,别说要把它记起来,连要发音都有点难,可是,如果你透过莎莉来学,效果肯定倍增。当哈利躲在书店一角偷偷瞄着莎莉,莎莉转头对朋友说"He's obnoxious.,那种不屑的表情是不是更增添了这个字的意味?影片中还出现另一个前缀"ob-"的单字-"obituary",指的是「讣闻」,这个单字一般会话不常提及,不太好记,但是看看爱说笑的哈利是怎么说的:"…What's so hard about finding an apartment?What you do is you read the obituary column.You find out who died,go to the building and tip the doorman.What they could do to make it easier is combine the obituaries with the real estate section.Then you have,"Mr.Klein died today,leaving a wife,two children and a spacious three-bedroom apartment with a woodburning fireplace."哈利说朋友都安慰他离婚后至少还保有房子,可是找房子有什么难的,只要翻翻报纸的讣闻,看谁死了,就去接手他的房子甚至家庭,要是报社把房屋租售的版面跟讣闻摆在一起,那就更方便了。听了哈利这段自嘲的话,是不是对"obituary"这个字比较有印象了呢?
⑤看剧中人,运用情境会话
「英文学了这么多年,背也背过了,考也考过了,可是一碰到真正要开口说英语的机会,总是脑筋一片空白,不晓得那些句型都跑到哪儿去了?」原因无他,光是背诵课本那种A跟B硬梆梆的对话,当然没用喽!举例来说,一般的会话课本中,必定会学到上馆子点菜,课本里的例句似乎永远只有"How would you like your steak?""Well done,please."之类的答案,这种标准对话在真实生活中好像不太够用,万一侍者多问你一句,是不是就慌了呢?莎莉可不一样,从前菜到甜点样样讲求完美精准,哈利称她是great orderer,现在就来学学莎莉的「龟毛」点菜法:
Waitress:What can I get you?
Harry:I'll have a number 3.
Sally:I'd like the chef's salad,please,with the oil and vinegar on the side,and the apple pieàla mode.…
Sally:…I'd like the pie heated,and I want the ice cream on the side.And I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla,if you have it.If not,then no ice cream,just whipped cream,but only if it's real.If it's out of a can,then nothing.
Waitress:Not even the pie?
Sally:No,just the pie,but then not heated.
请注意这家餐厅不过是公路旁卖简餐的diner,哈利用的是「麦当劳式」的点法-「3号餐」,简单了事,而看莎莉点菜简直太神奇了,虽然点的是沙拉,可是橄榄油及醋汁要放在旁边,不能淋上去喔!说到甜点更是精采,"àla mode"源自法文,就是在甜点上面加一球冰淇淋,莎莉特别强调如果有冰淇淋,苹果派就要加热,冰淇淋要放在旁边,而且只要草莓口味,不然就放whipped cream(鲜奶油)就好,不过鲜奶油要现打的,罐装挤出来的她可不要。哇!原来点餐也可以这么灵活,习惯背课本的人要注意了,赶快丢掉那种制式的对话吧!
⑥留意文化差异
在美国,学生花钱是能省则省,所以让人搭便车或共乘是常有的事,不仅车租或油钱可以共同分担,如果是长途旅行,还可以轮流换手开车。影片中,哈利一上车,一板一眼的莎莉就要跟他讨论怎么轮流开车:"I have it all figured out.It's an 18-hour trip which breaks down into 6 shifts of three hours each or alternatively we could break it down by mileage.""alternatively"用于提出另一种不同的建议选择或替代方案。莎莉的意思是她都算好了,从芝加哥到纽约要花18小时,看是要分成六段轮流开车(shift是轮班),每次三小时,还是要用里程数来分。在中国,像这样跟不太熟的人一起长途开车或car pool(共乘)的习惯并不常见,只要留意电影中的小细节,就能观察到跟我们大不同的风俗习惯或生活方式。
⑦辅助学习工具
有人问:「我平常的英听程度还不错呀!前面讲的几种 学习方法 我也都知道,但是怎么一看无字幕的电影,感想只有三个字“I am lost.”」「看电影学英语」这种学习方式的确有趣,不过也挺残酷的。你的听力到底能不能跟上演员对白的速度,字幕一没,马上见真章。因为电影对白十分\"real world\"(至少从语言的角度来看是如此),不管是速度或遣词用字跟教学录音(影)带的对话相差十万八千里,好莱坞的电影绝对不会因为要在全世界放映,演员就会把说话速度放慢,或者用最简单的字来说话,这么说来,要怎么起步才不会让你一下子就信心全失呢?笔者建议使用能飞英语学习软件作为辅助学习工具,按照该软件的[播-学-词-听-配]五大学习功能,一步一步的学习,平时难以切换的字幕可以轻松切换,还可以一句句循环学习,单词、重点句边看可以边标记,背单词、听写、配音都能在软件上搞定,这样的学习才能高效,才让人容易坚持下来。就说这么多,反正世上无难事,怕的是没有有心人。
