Yahoo不求人: 「打開車窗」的英文難道不是Open the window嗎?
在如今的「網際網路+」時代,我們「學」英語學來學去卻依然沒有「學到」的一點,不是英語本身,是「學習力」。
也就是沒有認真地訓練我們用英文Yahoo「探索、發現、求證」的能力,而是只丁著某句英語本身論長短,從而暴露出自己英語「學習力」的不足。
比如:「打開車窗」的英文難道不是Open the window嗎?
Yahoo不求人,我們通過反覆運用Yahoo作為工具,探索發現求證我們的英語就可以很好地解決問題。
1) Yahoo open the car window
2) 我們會「發現」大量的原版英語:
1.How to instantly lower your car windows with the key remote
2.Hidden Key Fob Trick Allows Users To Roll Down Car Windows ...
3.Why Do Slightly Opened Car Windows Make That Awful Sound?
4.Have you ever been driving around and decided to let just a bit of that sweet outside air in? Maybe you just want to smell the pine trees, or maybe. You have your reasons. But as soon as you get that window down an inch, you regret it. Because of that sound.
5.If your car's electric windows are stuck open or stuck shut, it's a major inconvenience. If they're stuck open, you won't be able to close them in case of rain or to secure valuables. If they're stuck shut, you can't open them when you need to let in some fresh air or hand over cash at a toll both.
限於篇幅,其實,只要我們繼續Yahoo下去,我們會在「語言環境」中「探索發現求證」到更多的「答案」。
3) 最後,我們需要有「用英語表達」的能力,而不是「用中文辯解」的能力。這點尤為重要。
1.Okay.I got you.We have many ways to say Your car window is open or closed.
2.You may say You open,or close your car window.
3.You may also say You get your car window up or get it down.
4.We can also raise or lower our car window.Or roll up or roll down the window.
No one cares about how you're going to say it as long as they understand correctly you're talking about.
點評:
1、「網際網路+」時代,不能熟練運用Yahoo探索發現求證英語問題,才是我們英語學習的「短板」,不是「答案」對錯本身:沒有方法的學習只能永遠做「苦力活」。我們學英語學來學去都沒有學會撿最重要的東西來學,只在那些無關緊要的事情上關注太多。
2.不會用英語溝通,只會用中文學英語,「辯解」英語是又一個「短板」。中文「說」的再好,再清楚,開口「說」英語就困難重重,這樣的英語學來無益。
3.好好說英語,實在跟動輒被誰誰笑話實在沾不上邊。
