英语要这样学:“裤子拉链开了”用英语怎么说?
我问学生最多的一个英语问题是:“裤子拉链开了”用英语怎么说你知道吗?
学生都是回答:不知道。
“为什么不知道?”
“因为老师从来没教过我。”
现在的“反向”问题来了:难道一定要“老师”告诉你“怎么说”你才知道吗?
我们“学习”英语最大的问题之一,就是没有、也没法好好地把学过的英语用起来,却同时在不断地用中文“学”新的东西(英语)。
这就是所谓的英语“学而不用”,“学”“用”脱节现象。能把学过的英语用起来比只会不断学“新”的英语重要。
而在“互联网 ”时代,在学这个英语学那个英语当中,首先学会用Yahoo搜索“探索、发现、求证”英语“怎么说?”,一方面既解决了我们“欲知”的英语问题,一方面也就能很好的解决英语使用问题。同时,它还训练和提高了我们自己的“学习力”。
比如,“你的裤子拉链开了”用英语怎么说?
一、把学过的英语用起来,运用“学习力”在Yahoo上“探索,发现、求证”
在学“新”英语“怎么说”之前,首先明白:除非你的英语真的是“什么都不懂”,否则,你可以“不懂”英语“拉链开了”怎么说。但是,“说”类似的英语Your pants are unzipped unbuttoned会吗?
会,就好办了。这就是用“已知”求“未知”。我们这么去到Yahoo里去:
1) Yahoo your pants are unzipped unbuttoned
以下是搜索到的众多有关“裤子拉链开了”的英语的语言环境:
1. The now-deleted photo showed Falwell, a leading evangelical supporter of President Donald Trump, with his pants unzipped and his underwear showing beneath, while he had one arm around a woman.
2. You have just discovered that your pants were unzipped the entire time you gave a speech to your class.
3. Why is it bad to wear your pants unzipped in public?
People always make a big deal when my fly is down like it's supposed to be embarrassing and is making people uncomfortable
Why is not okay to walk around with your pants unzipped? It's not like my penis is hanging out.
4. Court says if your fly is unzipped .
Look around a parking lot, don't look and just get into the car, leave your pants unzipped, zip your pants and button your collar, go the speed limit, speed, drive slowly, don't drive at all and just take a cab.
由于篇幅有限,这里就不做更多的“语言环境”搜索,感兴趣的可以继续搜索得到更多“说法”。
通过以上Yahoo,我们是否“不要老师告诉我”,在里面的语言环境中自己就“求证”,知道了英语“拉链开了”怎么说?
二、“求证”及英语口语训练
1.Okay.I got you.I know what they say in English for 拉链开了
2. We can say Your pants are unzipped,or unbuttoned.
3.We can also say Your fly is unzipped,or Your fly is down.Your fly is unzipped.
这几句英语都是一个意思,都可以用来“互为解释”,“互为解释”,但是要注意千万不要逐条翻译成中文理解。
我们可以这样以英语“互为解释”的方式练习口语:
Well,your pants are unzipped,or unbuttoned means Your fly is unzipped.Your fly is unzipped means Your fly is down, or Your fly is unzipped.
