編者按：提升英語聽力的最好方法是什麼本期我將和你這個非常實用的聽力方法。也就是我提升聽力的方法。這個方法很有效。
首先，我們來談談，為什麼大多數人不能提高聽力的原因。
First, let’s talk about why most people fail to improve their listening.
提升你的聽力技能是耗費時間的。他是一個長期的過程。但是大多數人忘記了，或者他們對此一無所知。
Improving your listening skills takes is a long-term process. But most people forget that, or they just don’ tknow.
所以當他們練習聽力時，他們使用的方法不太方便，不太容易執行。
So when they practice listening, they use methods that are inconvenient，something that is noteasy to do.
所以，他們不可能持續練習，長期練習。
So, it is impossible for them to continue. Doing if for a long time.
因此，大多數人在見效前，就放棄了。但是，我是怎麼知道這個的? 是的，我知道這個，因為我犯過同樣的錯誤。
As a result, most people quit before they get any results. But how do I know this? Well, I know this because I have madethe same mistake.
我曾經嘗試過幾種不太方便的方法。例如，把一部電話看兩遍，(這種事你們都幹過吧!)第一遍帶字幕，然後不帶字幕。那太枯燥了。所以，在看到第四部電影時，我放棄了。
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.
我也嘗試過練習聽力，然後將我聽到的內容寫出來。但是工作量太大了，我忙不過來。
I also tried listening and then writing down what I heard. But that was too much work and I was too busy.
所以，讓我們回到問題本身。你如何確定，你不會重蹈覆轍? 是的，如果你想成功的話，你必須採用合適的方法。一定要簡單易行。如果不是，你很可能，在你看到成效前放棄。
So let’s take this back to you. How do youmake 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，讓我分享給你提升英語聽力的最方便的方法吧。這個方法非常簡單。你只需要做兩步。
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：下載大量的聽力材料放在你的手機或者MP3上。現在，最佳的聽力材料是那些人們自然交流的材料。他們在進行真實的對話。當你採用這種聽力材料時，你聽到人們在現實生活中使用的，大量的普通的日常詞彙。現在不要擔心。在本文結尾，我將會給你提供資源，免費下載這種材料的資源。
Here’s the first step: 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，這就是第一步。下一步非常重要。不要錯過這一步。下一步是聽這些聽力材料。現在關鍵的一點是：不要在你有空的時候做，相反，在你準備做別的事情時，做。在做一些不需要放在心上的事情時。
So that is the first step. The next step isvery 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 itwhen you’re already doing something else. Something that doesn’t require much of your attention.
在你上下入的時候，在你排隊的時候，在鍛鍊的時候，等等，聽這些材料。用這些時間來練習聽力。所以，你沒有必要花費額外的時間。現在，我們為什麼要這麼做? 當它容易做的時候，你才有可能長期堅持下去。如果你堅持地足夠長，你的聽力能力絕對會提升。
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.
現在我說說那些可能會嚇到你的東西。讓我們將它和看電影對比一下。如今有很多人用看電影來提升聽力能力。如果你今天開始採用這個方法，從現在開始的一年內每天花30分鐘的時間，你將會聽10950分鐘的日常對話。這是很長的聽力訓練了。因為你不是在你空閒時做的，所以耗費的額外時間是零。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 to10,950 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 spentis zero. That is awesome.
那看電影呢?首先，在一部電影裡在每一部分都要有一段談話，或者是對話，對嗎?如果你看一部動作片，你可能看到打鬥的場面，一場爆炸，汽車追逐，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，讓我們算個平均數，一部電影的`長度是100分鐘，其中50%是對話。剩下的是的東西。如果你一週看四部電影或者一年看208部電話，在一年內，你將聽到10400分釧非現實的英語對話。最糟糕的是因為每部電影都有100分鐘長，這個方法需要你花費20800分鐘的空餘時間。
So let’s say that on average, the length ofa 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 willhave listened to 10,400 minutes of fake English conversations. Now here’s worstpart: because each movie is 100 minutes long, this method requires you to spendas much as 20,800 minutes of your free time.
這真的，真的很悲哀。現在，讓我們來比較一下這兩種方法。我有一個問題想問你。如果你採用這種方法而不是看電影，你一年節省了20000多分鐘的時間。你如何使用這些時間，看英文書籍來提升你的詞彙量，練習口語，或者是別的事情，請發表評論，並讓我知道。所以你現在知道這種方法的力量了吧。讓我多囉嗦幾句，這是一個長期的過程。
This is really, really sad. Now let’s compare the two methods side-by-side. Now I have a question for you. If you usethis technique instead of watching movies, and you save over 20,000 minutes peryear, 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.
