貝拉高中教你解決英語(yǔ)交流中的“卡殼”尷尬

　　學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)都是為了能夠流暢的溝通交流，但是如果英語(yǔ)交流中突然遇到不會(huì)的單詞怎么辦?下面，貝拉國(guó)際高中就來(lái)告訴你這些突發(fā)狀況處理的小技巧!

　　It’s a problem that every language learner faces: you’re talking to someone in a language you haven’t mastered yet, and all of the sudden you can’t remember a word — or you realize that you haven’t even learned it yet! The flow of conversation stops, your mind goes blank. Follow these five tips, and you’ll never be left speechless again.

　　每個(gè)學(xué)語(yǔ)言的同學(xué)都會(huì)面臨這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題：你在用你還沒(méi)有完全掌握的語(yǔ)言和別人交談時(shí)，突然會(huì)記不得一個(gè)詞，或者你意識(shí)到你還沒(méi)有學(xué)過(guò)這個(gè)詞!然后談話過(guò)程就中斷了，大腦一片空白。遵循以下5點(diǎn)，你將再也不會(huì)無(wú)言以對(duì)。

　　Preventative measures 預(yù)防措施

　　Here are some tips to help bolster word memorization: Learn new words and their synonyms. Learn how to describe new words in your learning language. Instead of simply translating a word from your native language into your learning language, these techniques help you associate a new word with other words in the same language.

　　這有一些提示來(lái)幫助鞏固詞匯的記憶：學(xué)新單詞和它們的同義詞。試著用你學(xué)習(xí)的語(yǔ)言來(lái)描述新單詞。這些技能幫助你用外語(yǔ)把新單詞和其他單詞聯(lián)系起來(lái)，而不是簡(jiǎn)單地用你的母語(yǔ)翻譯成你學(xué)習(xí)的語(yǔ)言。

　　Put these word connections into practice with a little improve training. You and your friends can play games like “who can describe a concept with the fewest words”, or, when you’re by yourself, you can write down as many word associations as possible. This way, when you forget a word in a real conversation, you’ll have plenty of other associations to fall back on. You’re likely to remember one of the synonyms or at least be able to describe what you mean in different words — without having to access your native language for help.

　　通過(guò)一些提高性訓(xùn)練，把單詞聯(lián)系方法付諸實(shí)踐。你和同伴們可以玩“誰(shuí)能用最少的文字描述一個(gè)概念”這個(gè)游戲，或者，當(dāng)一個(gè)人的時(shí)候，你可以盡可能多地寫下單詞聯(lián)想。當(dāng)你在現(xiàn)實(shí)對(duì)話中忘記一個(gè)單詞的時(shí)候，你就會(huì)有很多其他聯(lián)想到的單詞來(lái)幫忙。你可能會(huì)想起一個(gè)同義詞或至少能用其他單詞來(lái)描述你的意思，而不必求助于你的母語(yǔ)。

　　Make up words 造詞

　　This is especially easy to do with languages like German where many nouns are compounds of two or three smaller words. If you want to say glove, but don’t know how, just take two probable words (hand + shoe) and stick them together. Voila: Handschuh is in fact the German word for glove!

　　對(duì)于像德語(yǔ)這樣的語(yǔ)言，這個(gè)方法非常簡(jiǎn)單，因?yàn)楹芏嗝�詞是2個(gè)或3個(gè)小單詞的復(fù)合詞。如果你想說(shuō)手套，但不知道怎么說(shuō)，那就把兩個(gè)可能的單詞(手+鞋)組合在一起。看，“handschuh”就是手套的德語(yǔ)單詞。

　　You can also achieve a similar effect with the equivalents of vague words like “something,” “thing” or “whatchamacallit” which allow context to fill in the blanks.

　　你也可以用類似“某物”“東西”或“隨你說(shuō)”等模糊的詞語(yǔ)連接上下文，這樣也能達(dá)到類似的效果。

　　Use your body 運(yùn)用你的肢體

　　Don’t underestimate the power of body language. After all, charades might be a word, but it’s played all over the world. So do pantomime, make sound effects, gesticulate wildly, try anything!

　　不要忽視肢體語(yǔ)言的作用。畢竟，猜詞游戲是一個(gè)單詞，但全世界都在玩。所以，做手勢(shì)、發(fā)出聲音、夸大手勢(shì)，嘗試任何方法!

　　Say it in your mother tongue 說(shuō)你的母語(yǔ)

　　This should only be your last resort, reserved only for those instances where tips one through four have failed. Saying the word in your own language is not ideal, but it’s still better than saying nothing. You can even turn it into a learning opportunity by asking — in the target language, of course — “How do you say ____ in your language?” They might not know, but it also might be the final clue they needed in order to understand you.

　　這只能是你最后的方法，在之前三個(gè)方法都失敗的情況下才能使用。用母語(yǔ)說(shuō)不算理想，但這也比什么都不說(shuō)好。你甚至可以把它變成一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，詢問(wèn)(用你正在學(xué)習(xí)的語(yǔ)言)“ ____用你的語(yǔ)言怎么說(shuō)?”他們可能不了解，但這也可能成為讓他們明白你的意思的最終線索。　　HOWEVER: be strict with yourself. Only say the word you’re missing in your native language, the rest of the conversation should still be held in your target language!但是：嚴(yán)于律己。只在你不知如何表達(dá)的單詞中才能，其他談話仍然用你正在學(xué)習(xí)的語(yǔ)言(表達(dá))。

　　Bonus tip 額外提示

　　People are usually happy when you try to speak their language. You can expect them to be a little more patient and listen a little more closely than they would with a fellow native speaker. If you can stumble through most of a sentence in their language, and utilize the tips above for the rest, they’ll probably be able to meet you halfway.

　　當(dāng)你試著說(shuō)對(duì)方的語(yǔ)言時(shí)，他們常常會(huì)感到很開心。你可以期望他們和你交流時(shí)，比和本國(guó)人交流時(shí)更加耐心、聽得更加仔細(xì)。如果你結(jié)結(jié)巴巴的用他們的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)了大部分意思，利用上述提示表達(dá)出你不會(huì)的部分，他們很可能明白你的大致意思。
