如何加强自己的英语思维
I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
I've been meaning to have a little chat with you about confidence: what it is, how to get more of it.
大家好，我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语！我想和大家聊一聊信心：信心是什么，以及如何增强信心。
Because more confidence when you're learning a language means that you get to use it more and this has an incredible snowballing effect.
The more that you use it, the more that you learn and more comfortable you become.
因为当你的学习一门的语言之时拥有更多的信心也就意味着你会更频繁地使用它，而这会有滚雪球般的效应。你使用的越多，你学到的就越多，你就会变得越来越得心应手。
And that allows you to try more things, meet more people, experience different situations in that language. Confidence in ourselves is really powerful.
那会帮助你用那门语言做更多的事情，见到更多的人，体验不同的情景。自信非常具有力量。
When we believe in ourselves, we can make things happen. We can create change and as soon as we notice that change, it becomes really empowering.
当我们相信自己的时候，我们会实现很多事情。我们可以创造改变，一旦我们意识到了那种改变的时候，就拥有了自主权。
We prove to ourselves that something's possible and we get inspired by that and we go out again and we try another time and we go further.
There are two types of confidence, the type that everyone else sees and then there's self-confidence which is how we feel on the inside.
我们向自己证明，某件事情是可能的，我们会因此受到鼓舞，我们会再次去做，再次尝试，会走得更远。有两种类型的信心，一种是其他人都可以看到的信心，另外一种是自信，是我们自己感受到的。
And they're different but they're very closely connected. I really believe that confidence is a skill that you can learn you know.
它们是不同的，但是却紧密联系在一起。我坚信信心是可以学习到的东西。
You can create more confidence in your life. So today I want to chat about building confidence within ourselves to allow us to become more confident externally, on the outside.
你可以在生活中创造更多的信心。所以今天呢，我想要聊一聊增加对于自己的信心，从而让我们从外部看来也更有自信。
. . . . . Over the past few years, I've been on my own journey of building confidence.
在过去的几年中，我一直在提升信心。顺便提一句，我现在还是在这段旅程中，但是我想分享一些我在这个过程中学到的东西，就是我尝试过的那些东西，帮助我变得更勇敢的东西。
I'm still on that journey by the way, but I wanted to share some of the things that I've learned along the way and you know, the things that I've tried, some of the things that have helped me to become a little bolder and a little braver.
It really wasn't that long ago that I would have laughed in your face if you told me that I would own my own online business and that I'd have a team of people working for me.
不久之前，如果你告诉我，我可以拥有自己的线上公司，有一个团队的人为我工作，我真的会当面嘲笑你。我根本不会相信你。
I just wouldn't have believed you at all.
And if you had of told me that I'd have a Youtube channel and I would produce videos that got sent out to the world every week, I would be rolling on the floor laughing.
如果你告诉我我会拥有自己的油管频道，我每周都会发视频，发布到世界各地，我肯定会在地板上哈哈大笑的。我肯定会说“不可能的啊”。
I just would have said "There is no way." And yet we have this ability to surprise ourselves, to prove ourselves wrong and that's what I want you to tap into.
但是我们拥有震惊自己的能力，证明自己是错的，那就是我想让大家做的事情。我今天做的所有的事情都是从女性视角出发的，那就是我的视角。
Everything that I'm talking about today is coming from a female perspective, from my perspective.
But as women, I think we face a unique set of self-confidence issues about our image, about being assertive and about feeling guilty if we put ourselves first.
但是作为女性，我觉得我们面临的自信问题是非常不同的，比如说纠结我们的外表，变得更加坚定自信，如果把自己放在第一位的话，会感到内疚。但是找到一种方式避开这些感觉，才是变得更加自信，为自己创造更多机会的关键。
But finding a way around these feelings, it really is the key to building more confidence in creating opportunities for yourself. Women and men tend to have a different relationship to confidence.
女性和男性在自信方面的问题是不同的。我觉得女性在年轻的时候，信心相对不足。
I think women generally have less confidence when they're younger. Women tend to spend a little more time throughout life building confidence and maybe that equalised things later on.
女性在一生中会倾向于花更多的时间建立自信，后面才可以弥补本身的不足。但是男性在早期通常会树立更强的信心，可能因此，他们在一生中并不会和女性一样需要那么努力地增强自信。
But men tend to develop more confidence earlier in life and maybe as a consequence of that, they don't work as intensively as women do throughout their lives to get more confidence.
And this idea, it really resonates with me because I was reserved and unsure and full of self-doubt when I was younger, worried of what people would think of me, you know, worried about my lack of experience.
这种想法确实让我感同身受，因为我年轻的时候就非常的内向，非常不确定，经常自我怀疑，担心别人对我是什么看法，我在想如果有女性在看，或者是有人在看的话，是不是会感同身受呢？
And I wonder if any of the women watching or anyone watching, you know resonates with that. Does that sound familiar?
听起来是不是很熟悉？会不会听起来和自己的经历很相似呢？
Does it sound like a story that's similar to yours? So many of my students tell me and they tell themselves that they are shy, that they're introverted but what I really want to make clear now is that that may be you right now but it won't always be you.
我很多学生都告诉我她们会告诉自己，她们很害羞，她们很内向，但是我真正想要在这里告诉大家的是，可能你们现在的想法是对的，但是并不总是会是这样。如果你缺乏使用英语的自信，或者是和他人用英语进行交流的自信的话，那么树立自信非常重要，不仅仅是变成一个更好的英语使用者，也是为了不断发展，实现自己更大的目标。
If you lack the confidence to use English or the confidence to speak with other people in English, building more self-confidence is essential not just to become a better English user but also to develop and achieve some of those bigger ambitions that you have for yourself.
Now I really, really wish that this video was called 'Three simple steps to become confident. '
我现在非常非常希望这个视频的名字是“三步让你更自信”。如果这么简单就好了！
If only it was that simple!?But there are a number of things that you can do to help build self-confidence and allow you to become a more confident person.
但是确实是有一些你可以做的事情来增强自信，让你变成一个更有自信的人。我们要从思维方式开始。
And we're going to start with mindset. The way that you think, the thoughts that you have, the things that you say to yourself are completely in your control.
你们进行思考的方式，你们的想法，你对自己说的事情，都完全在你的控制之中。这是我们能够控制的不多的东西。
They're one of the only things that are. We have the ability to be mean and critical of ourselves.
我们可以对自己很刻薄，总是挑三拣四。我们也可以对自己很友好，支持自己。
We also have the ability to be kind and to be supportive of ourselves. Now let's talk about something that I know you've said before.
现在让我们说说我知道你们之前说过的事情吧。我的英语很不好。
My English is bad. Sorry for my English. . .
不好意思，我的英语.....你会这么说，或者是心里会这么想。
You say this or you think this to yourself a lot. And guess what? You start believing it, you start accepting it.
结果会怎么样呢？你开始相信，你开始接受。我知道可能听起来很傻，但是我们告诉自己的信息，我们会在不知不觉中这么相信。
And I know it might sound silly but the messages that we tell ourselves, they're the ones that tend to stick. What if you were to say "My English is a work in progress" Or "I know my English isn't perfect, but I'm improving every day."
如果你要说“我的英语正在不断进步”或者是“我知道我的英语不完美，但是我每天都在进步”的话会怎么样呢？以及“我对于我现在取得的进步非常激动”。
And "I'm excited about the progress that I'm making." See how we just shifted those thoughts?
看看我们是如何转变想法的？转变得更加积极一点。
Shifted them to become a little more positive.
If you catch yourself thinking or saying something negative about your English, try to stop it, catch it, spin it a little, be a little bit more generous to yourself.
如果你抓到你自己对自己的英语说法比较消极的话，那么试着打住，抓住他，甩掉它，对自己更大方一点。事情是这样的，随着我们能力不断提升，我们的自信也会随之提升。
So here's the thing, confidence grows as we become more competent. Now when you're competent, it means that you have the skills and the ability to do something successfully or do it well.
当你们拥有了足够的能力的时候，也就意味着你拥有了成功完成某件事情，或者是做好某件事情的能力。当你变得更加擅长做某件事情的时候，你做这件事情越来越得心应手，你的信心会不断增长，对吧？
So as you become better at something, as you become more able to do it, your confidence grows and that makes sense, right? Especially when it comes to learning a language.
尤其是在语言学习方面。肯定会有这样一段时间，你没有成功沟通所需要的能力。
There is definitely a whole period of time where you just don't have the skills that you need to communicate successfully. So how do you become more competent?
那如何提升自己的能力呢？就开始去做。
Well you start. You try.
去尝试。去体验，然后你会犯错，然后再次尝试。
You experience and then you mess up and then you try it again. This is exactly how you build competence.
那就是提升能力的方式。你需要投入时间，你需要持之以恒。
You've got to put in the time, you've got to be stubborn and persistent. You have to keep showing up and keep doing it.
你需要一直出现，一直做。这就是我为什么非常喜欢Lingoda语言马拉松的原因。
This is why I really love doing the Lingoda Marathon. It helped me to be stubborn and be persistent with my Spanish because I was like "Well yeah, I've paid for it so I've just got to keep doing it. I've got to keep going, right?"
它帮助我，让我坚持上西班牙课程，因为我的想法是“我都付钱了，所以我要继续下去。我需要一直继续下去，对吧？”那真的非常有用。慢慢地，我的能力提升了，我的自信也在不断增长。
And that helped. Over time I became more competent and so my confidence grew. Now I still have a lot of work to do on my Spanish but I've shown myself what's possible.
现在我的西班牙语还是有很大的提升空间，但是我向我自己证明了这是可能的。当谈到为我们自己设定目标的时候，我们倾向于把目标定得太大，或者是太复杂，这对你们，或者是对你们的自信心而言真的非常致命。
When it comes to setting goals for ourselves, we tend to make them too big or difficult or complicated and this is really detrimental or really bad for your or our self-confidence. We need goals that we can get to.
我们需要制定能够完成的目标。我们需要感受到一点成就感，帮助我们不断进步。
We need to feel a little bit of success, you know, to help us keep moving forward. If your skill level is here and you attempt to do something up here, it may be fail.
如果你的水平在这里的话，而你想要达到这个水平，可能会失败。当然了，你的信心可能在那个点崩塌，但是如果你想要实现的水平在这里的话，你就有更大的可能性成功了。
Well of course, your confidence is going to be shattered at that point but if you attempt to do something here, you're much more likely to succeed. And then you prove to yourself that you're able to do it.
然后你会向自己证明，你是可以做到的。你们更有可能回来，继续尝试。
You're much more likely to come back and try it again. That time you'll be going for the next level and this is how you build self-confidence.
在那个时候，你就会向下一个等级进发，这就是树立信心的方式。这就是我们 The Ladies' Project 所致力于做的事情。
Now this is something we really focus on inside The Ladies' Project. If you haven't heard me talk about it before this is my online community that supports women who are learning English as a Second Language.
如果你们之前没有听我说到过的话，那我就再说一下吧，这是我的线上社群，帮助正在学英语作为第二语言的女性。我的团队和我会准备结构化的课程和对话题目，帮助我们的成员学习词汇、练习正确的发音和语法结构进行沟通对话。
My team and I prepare structured lessons and conversation topics specifically to help our members learn vocabulary, practise the correct pronunciation and useful grammar structures to help them have conversations.
This helps them to feel more competent, more able to participate in the conversations because they know the language.
这帮助她们感到更能够胜任，更能够参与到对话之中，因为她们懂得这门语言。自然而然地，她们就会创造更多的自信，参与群体讨论之中，她们在每次参与的时候信心也会不断提升。
So naturally they're creating more and more self-confidence to participate in group conversations and their confidence keeps growing each time they participate.
Some of them even host group conversations in English, something that they would never have dreamt of when they first joined The Ladies' Project.
她们其中的一些人甚至会主持英文对话，她们刚加入 The Ladies' Project 的时候，根本都不敢想。这是通过提升能力而树立自信的证据。
This is evidence of building confidence by building competence.
Any woman can become a more confident English speaker by following our program and participating in our conversations inside The Ladies' Project.
通过参与我们的项目，加入到 The Ladies' Project 的对话交流之中，所有女性都可以变成更有自信的说英语的人，注册刚刚开始。
And enrollments are just about to open. Membership starts from as little as thirty-five dollars a month so you can check it out here or follow the link in the description to find out more.
会员费非常便宜，每月三十五刀，所以大家可以看一下，或者是点击描述区的链接了解更多信息。做好准备你们之前就听我说过了。
Preparation is something that you've heard me talk about before. I'm a planner.
我是个很爱做计划的人。做好准备能够让你感到一切尽在掌控之中，会更有能力，可以做你任何想做的事情，不管是和英语母语者交流，或者是在舞台上展示，还是申请工作，不管是什么，当你准备好的时候，都会感到更加自信。
Being prepared helps you to feel in control and more competent, more able to do whatever it is you've been trying to do whether that's speaking to a native English speaker or presenting on stage or applying for a job, whatever it is, when you prepare, you feel more confident.
When it comes to speaking in English, this is so relevant.
而说到用英语交流呢，也是非常相关的。大多数对话都是以相同的方式开始的。
Most conversations start the same way. When you meet new people, there are always just a handful of topics that you talk about: your job, the weather, where you're from.
当你遇见新的人的时候，总是会有很多要讨论的话题：你的工作，天气，来自于哪里。完全可以以这种方式来准备对话，一次次重复大声练习答案，直到那些词汇会不假思索地从嘴里说出来。
It's totally possible to prepare for conversations in this way and prepare well you know, practise your answers out loud over and over again until those words start coming out of you without you even thinking about it.
You can also practise questions to ask in those conversations as well and this is just as important as having answers right?
你也可以练习在对话中会问到的问题，这和练习答案一样重要，对吧？这能够帮助你继续对话。
It helps you to be able to continue the conversation. Focusing on being fluent in these simple conversation topics will help to give you more confidence as you go into them.
不断提升在这些简单话题中的流利度能够帮助你在这个过程中增强自信。准备能够帮助你提升能力，所以这可以帮助你增强在对话中的信心。
Preparation helps you to become more competent so it helps you to build more confidence in conversations. If we're talking about self-confidence and building it, we really need to talk about posture and body language.
如果我们讨论的是自信和如何树立自信的话，我们真的需要讨论姿势和身体语言。所以我们说的是你们在和别人对话的时候坐的方式，说话的方式，给予别人注意力的方式，你脸上的表情，这些都非常重要，在两个方面有着作用，因为这会影响你对自己的感觉，和别人看待你的方式。
So we're talking about the way that you sit, the way that you walk, the way that you give people your attention, the expression on your face when you're talking to them, all of these things are so powerful and it works in two ways because it affects how you feel about yourself on the inside and how others perceive you, what they think about you.
So I want you to try it with me now.
我希望大家现在和我一起尝试一下。把肩放低，然后耸起来。
Slump your shoulders forward, hunch down. Notice how that feels.
注意一下这种感觉。然后抬起双肩，向后展开，把头抬起来，抬起下巴，径直向前看，最重要的是，抬起嘴角，露出微笑。
Then lift your shoulders, pull them back, put your head up, put your chin up, look straight forward and most importantly, curl up the corners of your mouth a little, just into a little smile. Can you notice how different you feel inside?
你能注意到内部感受的不同吗？这会在多大程度上影响你的心情和你对自己的感觉？
How much that affects your mood and the way that you feel about yourself? We have so much power to change our perspective, to change the way that we think about ourselves.
我们有非常强大的力量改变我们的想法，改变我们看待自己的方式。我们只是需要养成这么做的习惯，只需要在你向下看或者是摊在椅子上的意识到，注意到这个问题，然后改变。
We just need to get into the habit of doing it more and really, that's just about being aware, about noticing when you're looking down or you're slumped in a chair and simply changing that.
This alone does so much to create more self-confidence in you and as an added bonus, it helps to make you appear more confident to the others around you.
仅仅是这么做就会让你感受到更多的自信，作为一个附加的好处，这能够帮助你，让你在周围的人看起来更加自信。所以我们的对话就是围绕着树立自信这个话题，而我一直在使用的最棒的策略之一就是把你完成的事情列一个清单，那些我非常骄傲的事情，然后每天都把它放在手边。
So our whole conversation has been around building self-confidence and one of the best strategies that I've been using is to keep a list of things that you've achieved, things that I'm proud of and I keep it nearby every day.
And the reason is, we are so quick to forget our achievements.
原因是，我们很快就会忘掉自己的成就。我们过于关注自己的失败了。
We pay so much attention to our failures. I don't know about you but I always have a to-do list next to me.
我不知道大家是什么样子的，但是我总是会随身携带要做的事情的清单。我总是会看一看，提醒自己我还没有做的事情，还有我未能完成的事情。
I'm constantly looking at it reminding myself of all of the things that I haven't done yet, all the things that I haven't been able to achieve.
This just makes me feel bad and overwhelmed so I found that keeping this extra list, this second list of achievements helps me to see and helps me to remember the progress that I've been making and I encourage you to do it too.
这让我感觉非常不好，亚历山大，所以我发现记录另外一个清单，也就是第二个关于自己完成了什么事情的清单，会让我看到，让我记住我的进步，我也非常建议大家这么做。每次你坐下写你需要做的事情的时候，看看另外一个，上面写着你的成就，能够激励你不断前进。
Every time you sit down to write out your list of things that you need to do, take a peek at the other one, the one that's full of your accomplishments and full of inspiration to help you keep moving forward.
What I always try to remind myself is that right now is just one moment in time.
我一直会提醒自己的是当前只是一个瞬间。你目前的英语水平并不能够定义你是谁，或者是你会成为谁。
The English speaker that you are right now doesn't define who you are or who you're going to be. If you're committed to growth and development then this moment is fleeting.
如果你专注于成长发展的话，那么这个瞬间会飞速消失。就像那样！
It will be gone like that! I guess what I really want you to take away from this video is that dwelling on the mistakes that you're making is not going to help you but focusing on the new skills and the new experiences that you're having will help you to notice this change in yourself.
我猜我真正想让大家从这个视频中学到的是，总是沉湎于你犯的错误并不能够帮助你，但是专注于你学到的新技能和新经验能够帮助你注意到自身的改变。注意自信是不断发展，不断成长的。
Notice that self-confidence as it's developing and it's growing. Just be kinder to yourself.
对自己好一点。认识到你需要倾注时间，你需要投入很多时间来提升能力，这能够帮助你们增强自信，最终变成一个更加有自信的人，一个更加有自信的说英语的人。
Recognise that you've got to put in the time, you've got to put in the hours to become competent and that this will help you to build self-confidence and ultimately become a more confident person, a more confident English speaker.
It's not the easiest thing to do but there are clear steps that you can take to help you get there.
这并不是最简单的，但是有非常清晰的步骤可以帮助你达成。我希望你们喜欢这个小对话。
Well I really hope that you enjoyed this little chat. It means a lot to me if you give it a thumbs up and even more if you share it with your friends and your colleagues, especially those who really should hear some of the things that we've been talking about today.
如果你们给我点个赞，或者是跟朋友同事分享的话，尤其是那些确实需要听听我们今天所讲内容的朋友，对我而言可是意义非凡呢。非常谢谢大家的参与，下周再见啦！
Thank you so much for joining me and as always, I'll see you next week!
