学习英语是一个循序渐进的过程,需要不断积累、操练和自我纠正。英语学习中的投入和产出基本上成正比,但集中学习和注重方法也至关重要,得法者往往可以达到事半功倍的成效。所有的学习者都希望自己能说一口流利的英语,但并非都能如愿。除了性格、习惯及神经系统的差异外,许多人抱怨环境,如无机会与外国人接触、缺少操练对子、教材与师资短缺等等。其实语言练习主要是个人的事,只要抓紧,也能无师自通。由于文革的影响,我上大学开始系统学习英语时,已经25岁了。虽然那时各方面的条件非常有限,但因喜欢口语,就坚持自己练习。具体做法是:(1)每日对自己听到的语言进行无声翻译练习半小时左右,他人的言谈、电台广播等,都是很好的素材。听到中文,则将其译成英语,反之亦然。(2)遇到比较有趣的内容(如电影),则对一静物(如墙壁、家具或树)用英语复 Learning English is a gradual process that requires continuous accumulation, practice, and self-correction. The input and output in English learning is basically proportional, but it is also very important to focus on learning and paying attention to the methods. Actors can often achieve a multiplier effect. All learners hope that they can speak fluent English, but not all can do so.

In fact, language exercises are mainly personal things. As long as they are tight, they can also learn without a teacher. Due to the influence of the Cultural Revolution, I was 25 years old when I started to systematically study English at university. Although conditions in all aspects were very limited at that time, because of their preference for speaking, they insisted on practicing. The specific approach is: (1) To perform silent translation exercises for the language they hear every day for about half an hour. Others’ speeches, radio broadcasts, etc., are good materials. When you hear Chinese, translate it into English and vice versa. (2) In the case of more interesting content (such as movies), the English version of a still life (such as walls, furniture or trees)
