[00:01.80]我业余爱好是攻克英语。你有业余爱好吗？
[00:03.60]2.I've always thought learning English would be an intereating hobby.
[00:05.26]我从来都认为学习英语是有趣的爱好。
[00:06.92]3.learning foreign languages is just an vacation with me.
[00:08.82]学习外语不过是我的业余爱好。
[00:10.71]4.I find learning English relaxing and it takes my mind off my work.
[00:12.79]我觉得学习英语是一种休息，它使我忘记工作。
[00:14.86]5.On weekends I like to get my mind off my work by reading and speaking English.
[00:17.36]每当周末我总爱读读英语、说说英语，这样可以把我的注意力从工作中移开。
[00:19.85]On Learning spoken English
[00:20.87]学习英语口语
[00:21.89]A:How long have you studied English?
[00:22.84]你学英语有多少时间了？
[00:23.80]B:Quite a few years.But if you mean the study this time,I have been studying for nearly three months.
[00:26.63]好多年了。但是如果你是指这次的话，我已经学了将近三个月了。
[00:29.47]A:I don't quite follow you.What do you mean by that?
[00:30.97]我不是十分明白你的意思。你的意思是什么？
[00:32.47]B:Well,like all Chinese students I studied English in my school days.
[00:34.91]嗯，象所有的中国学生，我在学校时曾学过英文。
[00:37.36]We learned how to read and translate from English inot Chinese and vice versa,but we weren't given enough practice in English speaking.
[00:41.13]我们学习如何阅读以及将英文译成中文或将中文译成英文。但我们并未充分地练习英文会话。
[00:44.90]So recently I began to take a course in spoken English.
[00:46.88]所以最近我开始上英语会话课程。
[00:48.85]A:I see.Now I understand what you mean.
[00:50.30]原来如此。现在我了解你的意思了。
[00:51.75]B:Since I've read quite a few English books,I know a good many words and phrases.
[00:54.15]因为我曾阅读不少的英文书，所以我知道很多单词和短语。
[00:56.56]The trouble is I can't use them in conversation because speaking was entirely neglected at school.I'm suffering from it now.
[01:00.30]问题是我不会把它们应用到会话上，因为学校完全忽略会话的课程。现在我正忙因此而受苦（因为学校忽略口语训练造成不良后果，受害者不得不面对这种后果）。
[01:04.05]A:That seems to be the trouble with many people.However ,it's no use crying over spilt milk.You're not the only one who had a bad start.
[01:07.93]那似乎是很多人的苦恼。然而，烦恼是没有用的。基础没有打好的不只是你一个人。
[01:11.81]B:Now that I'm expecting to go abroad shortly,naturally I am very anxious to learn enough to get along with.It must be awful to visit a foreign country without being able to use the language.
[01:17.09]既然我预定不久将要出国，自然我非常渴望能把英语学到足以应付的程度。到外国去而不能使用当地的语言是非常糟糕的。
[01:22.36]Half of the pleasure would be gone if one had to live like a deaf-mute.
[01:24.28]如果一个人活得象聋哑人一样，那么一半的乐趣就没有了。
[01:26.20]A:I quite agree with you.A great many people imagine that conversational English can only be learned on a mother's knee,but that isn't quite true.You can still get busy and learn to speak it.
[01:31.77]我十分同意，很多人认为英语会话必须得从小学起，但这不完全正确，你仍然可以开始把英语会话学好。
[01:37.33]B:Is there any short-cut,I wonder?
[01:38.40]我想知道有什么捷径吗？
[01:39.47]A:I'm afaid not.You see,a language art is mainly a skill just as piano playing or automobile driving.
[01:42.80]恐怕没有。你知道，一种语言主要的就是要熟练，就如同弹钢琴或驾驶汽车一样。
[01:46.14]We learned to play the piano by playing and drive a car by driving.The same is true with learning a language.
[01:49.45]我们以弹来学习弹钢琴，以驾驶来学习驾驶汽车。学习语言也是同样的道理。
[01:52.77]There is no other way.The more we practise the better we become.
[01:55.08]没有别的方法。我们练习得越多，进步就越快。
[01:57.39]Try to learn useful sentences by heart,and make other sentences after such models.
[02:00.10]努力记住有用的句子，并且仿照着例子，造出其它的句子。
[02:02.80]Anyone who has the ability to learn can learn to speak English.
[02:04.67]任何人只要具有学习能力，就可以学会说英语。
[02:06.54]Of course a person who has a good memory will make better progress.
[02:08.40]当然，一个记忆力强的人，将进步更快。
[02:10.27]B:What about grammar?
[02:10.94]语法这方面如何？
[02:11.60]A:Grammar is useful,but is wrong to imagine that one can learn to speak a foreigh language by rules of grammar.
[02:14.58]语法是有用的，但是以为按照语法的规则就能学习使用外国语言，那就错了。
[02:17.56]B:Maybe,but many people feel they need some kind of guide and claim that grammar is it.
[02:19.99]或许是的，但是许多人觉得他们需要某种准绳（或：指导），而语法就是。
[02:22.42]A:Of course,grammar is of help,but it isn't everything.You've got to bear in mind that learning to speak a language is a matter of habit forming.Therefore,constant practice is essential.
[02:27.85]当然语法是有帮助的，但它并不是一切。你要牢记在心，学习说语言就是养成习惯的过程。所以不断的练习是非常重要的。
[02:33.29]B:What you mean is that practice makes perfect.
[02:34.66]你的意思是说熟能生巧。
[02:36.03]A:That's exactly it.
[02:36.93]正是这个意思。
