英语外教老师告诉你学英语的诀窍
英语外教老师告诉您学英语的诀窍，首先：为什么要学英语?
The English foreign teacher tells you the secret of learning English. First of all, why do you want to learn English?
请记住，这才是最重要的问题。
Keep in mind that this is the most important question.
怎么学是次要的，为什么要学才是第一位的。
How to learn is secondary, why should study is the first?.
动力好比是心脏，方法好比是大脑。
Power is like the heart. It's like the brain.
答案有很多，学业、考试、工作、社交、炫耀、娱乐、旅游，等等。但只有你自己能回答这个问题。
There are a lot of answers, studies, exams, work, social networking, show off, entertainment, travel, etc.. But you alone can answer the question.
如果你没法回答这个问题，那么就别学了。
If you can't answer the question, then don't study.
如果只是为了应付考试，那么你也可以往下看。学习方法如果恰当，应付考试也会轻松一些。而且，许多技艺只有到你掌握之后，才会显示出它的价值，语言的技艺也是其中之一。
If it's just for exams, you can look down. If the learning method is appropriate, it will be easier to cope with the exam. Moreover, many skills can only be valued when you have mastered them, and language skills are also one of them.
学英语有什么用(除了考试……)?
What's the use of learning English (except for exams)?...... )?
习的工具性价值在于应付考试，但学习本身也有内在价值。很少有人喜欢考试，考试让大多数人畏惧、厌恶学习，所以我们必须认识到学习的内在价值。
The instrumental value of learning lies in dealing with exams, but learning itself has intrinsic value. Few people like exams, which make most people dread and dislike learning, so we must realize the intrinsic value of learning.
学英语：直接地、深入地接触另一种文化，开拓视野。文化既包括日常的生活方式、思维方式、价值观，也包括优秀的语言文字作品。外面的世界很精彩，多领略这份精彩，学语言的动力就越大。日本的动漫、韩国的音乐和电视剧让很多人去学日语、韩语。对于英语学习来说，英美的流行文化也有很多优秀的作品，比如英国足球、美国篮球、英剧和美剧、好莱坞电影、BBC纪录片、TED talk讲座、经典文学作品，等等。
Learning English: direct, in-depth contact with another culture, and broaden horizons. Culture includes both daily patterns of life, ways of thinking, values, and excellent language and writing. The outside world is very exciting, and enjoy this wonderful, the greater the motivation to learn language. Japanese anime, Korean music and TV shows have made many people learn Japanese and korean. For learning English, Anglo American popular culture has many excellent works, such as football, basketball, American English and British drama drama, Hollywood movies, documentaries, BBC TED talk lectures, classic literature, etc..
学而时习之，不亦乐乎!
It is a delight to learn while learning!
为什么有人学得轻松，有人学得累?
Why do some people learn to relax and others learn to be tired?
这个问题可能比前一个问题更重要。
This question may be more important than the previous one.
谁都想在考试中得高分，但不是谁都能够得到高分的。得高分的人，都是有意或无意间在学习中遵循了某些正确的规律，所以学得轻松。违反学习规律的人，不仅学得累，而且学得不好。
Everyone wants to get high marks in the exam, but not everyone can get high marks. People who get high scores are intentionally or unintentionally followed by certain correct rules in their studies, so they learn easily. Those who violate the rules of study learn not only tired but also poorly.
最重要的因素是学习材料是否合适，而不是学习方法，更不是老师。
The most important factor is to learn whether the material is appropriate, not the method of study, not the teacher.
学得轻松，一个小时的时间觉得很快就过去了。学得累，每分每秒都是煎熬，学一个小时的效果还不如别人的一分钟。累和轻松都是自己的感觉，而不是别人看起来怎样。
Learn to relax, and an hour passed quickly. Learn tired, every minute is suffering, learning an hour is not as good as the others a minute. Being tired and relaxing is what you feel, not what others look like.
你可能会说不怕学得累，只怕学不会。但是，学得累常常会让你中途放弃，而一旦放弃，就肯定是学不会了。学习失败的第一大原因就是放弃。
You may say that you are not afraid to learn, but you never know how to learn. But learning hard often makes you give up halfway, and once you give up, you'll never learn. The first big reason for learning failure is to give up.
返璞归真/不耻下问

这是所有原理中的第一原理：向小孩子学习。
This is the first principle of all principles: learning from a child.
小孩子学习语言的过程是：父母不厌其烦地说，他们不厌其烦地听，努力去搞懂意思，听得懂听不懂都没关系，而且越是听不懂的，就越是有兴趣，而对于能弄懂的材料，则乐此不疲地反复听、看、读(比如动画片、相声、歌曲、漫画书、故事书)。
The process of child language learning is: parents not to mind taking the trouble that they struggle to understand not to mind taking the trouble to listen, understand, do not understand all never mind, and the more you do not understand, the more interested, and to understand the material, is never repeated listening, read (such as cartoons, comic, songs, comic books, story books).
小孩子学习语言的顺序是：先听声音、看场景、看动作(看真人和看电视)，然后开始说话交流和阅读书报(先是漫画、连环画，然后逐渐过渡到纯文字的书)，最后再写文章。
The order of child language learning is: listen to voice, see the scene, see action (see TV and watching TV), then began to speak communication and reading (first comics, comic books, and then gradually transition to the text book), then write the article.
