隨意的夢幻/學著活人
正文
先說點正經的哈：
聽外文說到底就是一如既往不停歇的聽聽聽。不過在基本的句子結構已經懂得以後，我感覺上要靠多讀才可以幫助聽力的進步， 因為詞匯量是基礎。
我還意識到一個問題，那就是我們學習外文都要過的一個坎兒-越過在腦子中作無聲翻譯的坎兒。 隻要我們停在腦中翻譯的階段上，對英語的理解就總是打了折扣的， 因為不僅是理解的速度慢， 而且由於文化的不對等， 不少詞和文化現象難得翻譯的清楚，所以直接從英文去理解是真正懂得英文的關鍵 – 這不僅是聽， 其實是全方位的，要做到的使用英文想。 這樣把中文和英文實際上是放在腦子的兩塊不搭界的地方， 直到需要時才互用。 我感覺放棄中英字典而隻用英英字典， 放棄中英對照而隻看英文是個挺不錯的途徑。
另外，聽的開始階段也許需要聽清每一個詞， 但是等到你熟悉以後， 更重要的是聽關鍵詞和時態，有了這些， 意思也就清楚了。 這就跟聽中文一樣， 你不見得聽到說話人的每一個字，可是這並不影響你懂得說話人的意思。下麵的這段美國相聲就是表達這個意思吧。
下麵這段是我喜歡的Ellen Degeneres 的一段單口相聲 （standup comedy）。 跟美國人的日常生活現象挺有關係的。 各位先聽。很好笑的。 我在錄像的下麵把她的相聲的主要內容記錄了些來給作參考。
Attention-span is short
Attention Deficient Disorder (ADD)
We don’t have the time and patience to pronounce the entire disorder
TBD-Too Busy Disorder
When I was kid, we just had crazy people
All the commercials on television now are for anti-depressant,… Prozac, Paxil
They get you right way
Are you sad? Do you get stressed? Do you have anxiety?
Yes, I have all those things, I’m alive.
I don’t want to take a pill.
Go to Africa, follow some bushman around, he got chased by a lion, that’s stress.
When I was a kid, news were on once a day, you either caught it or miss it
Crawl down there
You put your opinion on a poll
You catch end of something….”Madonna’s left foot’
Waiting for it come around again
There should be just one crawl goes around and around again-‘Things are getting worse.’
Local news:
They want you to watch every broadcast to gut.
Teases:
It’s incredibly cruel-‘It could be the deadliest thing in the world you maybe having it for dinner'
Is it peas?
Feel sorry for newscasters-
We can turn it off,
They just read these stories, they just come up on Teleprompter
They have to go through this range of emotion
There were no survivors
Candy bar helps you to lose weight
Still to come, is Asteroid headed toward the earth
Cheesiest burger in town
A disturbing new study finds that studies are disturbing
They get schizophrenic by the end of news
No wonder they snap when they talk to the weather man
Johnny, When you gonna stop the rain, bring us some sunshine!
I’ll stop the rain when you stop the carjackings, Colleen....
