看视频学英语:科技与职场交相辉映

看视频学英语:科技与职场交相辉映试读:

前言

众所周知,听、说、读、写、译是英语学习中通常要训练的五种技能,其中,听和说排在前两位,显示了其重要性。即使是目不识丁的文盲,不会读和写,仅依靠听和说的方式也能正常交流和无障碍生活,因此语言学习中加强听和说的训练是非常必要的。

既然学习语言应该从听说练习开始,那么想学好英语的你又能找到多少可以训练听和说的素材呢?总结一下,比如英文有声书、英语电视节目、英文对白的电影、英语广播和网站上提供的其他音频、视频资料等,这些都是非常好的学习材料,但是各有利弊。一般书店销售的英语学习类图书大多配有音频光盘,使之成为有声材料,但是有些出版者在图书音频录制过程中对录音者要求不高,导致所录材料中的语言缺乏感情,缺少相关场景的配合,显得很生硬,自然很难让学习者提起学习的兴趣;国内目前电视平台提供的英语节目不是很多,你可以选择网络或卫星来观看国外的英语电视节目,但是由于这些素材并未照顾到语言学习者的水平,普遍语速太快,而且没有字幕,让我们这些外语或二外学习者理解起来有不小的难度,只能单纯用来磨耳朵;看英文对白电影是个比较好的学习方式,既有趣又发音准确,在网上也能找到很多,大多还配有字幕,但是不少由志愿者提供的字幕翻译水平参差不齐,有可能误导观众,带有字幕也会让人产生依赖性。另外英文对白的电影长度太长,如果只是从头到尾泛泛地看,无法从学习语言的角度切入,效果也不理想;收音机和网络电台中的英语广播只能听不能看,并不直观,同样速度较快,没有文本,不适合反复学习;最后说说来自Youtube, megavideo, HuIu等网站上的视频资料,我们在这些网站中发现了大量,很受欢迎的非常贴近生活的英语视频资料,大多数趣味性、实用性和学习性都很强,难度不高,非常适合普通英语学习者观看学习。因此我们特地收集和整理了一些,集合成册,分门别类,制作成适合中国读者的英语学习类图书,并且由经验丰富的作者为其配备了英、中双语文稿,从内容和语言学习的双重角度加以解说,让读者学习语言的同时还可以拓展百科知识,一举两得。

经过了一年多的精心收集和整理,《看视频学英语》系列图书正式面世了。本期共有四个分册,分别是《DIY学点你不知道的英语》《生活就像一坛老酒》《科技与职场交相辉映》和《艺术描绘美好人生》。这是其中之一的《科技与职场交相辉映》,讲述了许多科学知识探索以及职场常识等。本书在让读者学习英语语言的同时,通过观看视频,接受指令,动手实际操作,完成任务,让手、脑、耳、口同时作用起来,加强记忆,效果增倍。本书的使用方法建议:读者买到书之后,在家用电脑看视频猜大意、模仿表演,然后参照本书文本,朗读、背诵、学表达,还可以同时听光盘,跟读、听写、练听力。出门在外,也可用WIFI观看视频,听音频,随时随地学习,直到一段视频、音频和文字的组合内容全部学完,烂熟于心。

Hi there, I'm Denise Richardson. And this is howdini.com.If you wanna learn how to ace a job interview, stay tuned.We are about to talk about it with Maggie Mistal, who is a life purpose and career coach, who can be heard regularly on Martha Steward Living Radio on Sirius.Thank you so much for being with us.Thanks, Denise.

You show up with your dress properly. You walk in to meet an interviewer.What is the first thing you do when you walk in?

I love to smile. And obviously I think you can tell by that.But I like to make the interviewer just as at ease as I'm trying to be.Because really, this interview is a conversation that you are gonna have with this other person who is a human being and it can be a real ice-breaker, if you can be relaxed and at least give yourself a break to say,“Hi, how are you?”And even try to talk about the weather or some type of ice breaker that kind of gives everybody the chance to take a deep breath because this is an evaluative conversation and it can be nerve-wracking for both parties.

So the interviewer says to that prospective employee,“Why do you want to leave your job?”

Yes. That's always a great question, isn't it?And you have to be prepared for the key questions.Especially,“Why are you moving on?”Now, if you are moving on because you can't stand your boss, right?Which happens a lot and we've all been there.You don't wanna say that!What you do want to say is that I really need to be in a place where I can be managed and developed and where I can get guidance or mentoring.You really focus on the things that you are looking to get as opposed to all the reasons why you don't have it now.

You know there are some people who walk into that interview and they walk in a little defensively and because they really need a job. And they hear the words,“You are overqualified!”And they are willing to take a job and do their best at it.How do you handle,“You are overqualified?”

You can say things like,“Well, I've, you know, I've really thought about that and if I were in your shoes, I'd be asking the same question.And when I think about it, I can tell you for a fact, I'm looking to downshift, and I know this industry well, and I don't need to be in charge.I've been the person on the totem pole before and I can do that again.I'm really looking for a place where I can contribute but where I don't have to be the one who's running the show.”And really address those concerns which are behind the“overqualified”comment.

And they may say the op(opposite),“You just don't have enough experience for us.”

Oh, for folks who are just starting out maybe a new career or college students who just graduated or even folks out of high school are new to the work world that's a common problem.So again I go back to,“internships are great,”anyway that you can get some experience on your resume to demonstrate,“Hey, yeah, I may not be, you know, ten years in this field, but I can tell you in this……this experience that I had this summer, I didn't know anything going in and here is how successful I was.”Y You want to show situations where, yeah, you went in without a lot of experience but were still able to succeed.And this is where references can be so helpful as well.Even if you don't have a lot of experience, anybody can be a good reference for you.Even a teacher, or a professor, or even, um, someone that you volunteered for, who can attest your ability to learn quickly and perform well can be a great asset.

“We really like you. How much money are you looking for?”It's such a trick question.

Oh, it is!And for that question you definitely want to do your homework. This is one of the best uses for the internet.Salary.com, Indeed.com, Monster, Hotjobs, a lot of them have salary calculators associated with now.So you can look up the job title in your geographic area, and get the range of salaries for that position.And find where you would fit based on your level of experience.

Briefly, if I……if the interviewer hasn't brought up the word“salary”,should you?

Not right away. And in the initial conversation, you want to get to know whether or not this job even is a good fit.And I always tell people:Become the superstar to this person first, and then you are in a much better place to negotiate salary.And they may even pay more for you because they are like, wow, we can't let Denise go.She's such a fabulous candidate.We are only going to pay this much but now that we've found Denise.We are willing to do more.

Health care, flex-time, vacation time, these are the issues that you should bring up during a first interview or do you wait for,“Come back and meet Mr.Smith?”

Right. Come……Wait for the come back because, again,first interview should be about,“Is this a company I can picture myself in?”and vice versa for the interviewer and if it is a place you can see yourself in, do the……do really be your best self and really let them know why you'd be a fantastic fit.

But we're certainly happy to have you with us. Thank you so much Maggie Mistal.

You are welcome.译文 Translation求职面试小秘诀

嗨,我是丹尼斯·理查森.这是howdini.com。如果你想学怎样成功通过工作面试,别转台。我们将要和麦吉·米斯托谈论这个问题,她是生命意义和职业生涯的教练,可以经常在天狼星无线电台的玛莎·斯图尔特直播节目听到她。谢谢你来加入我们。谢谢,丹尼斯。

你衣装得体地现身,你进去见面试人。当你走进去的时候,什么是你第一件要做的事情?

我会选择微笑。我认为你可以很明显地看出来。但是我喜欢让面试人像我一样,试着尽可能地放轻松。因为真的,这面试是一段你和另一人的对话,而这可以是一真正的破冰开场白,如果你能放轻松并至少给自己一点空间来说:“嗨,你好吗?”而甚至试着谈到天气或是某种给大家深吸一口气的破冰开场白。因为这是一段评估性的谈话,对两方面来说都可能是伤脑筋的。

所以面试人对未来的员工说:“你为什么要离开你的工作?”

是的。那总是一个好问题,不是吗?而你必须为那些重要的问题准备好。特别是:“你为什么转换跑道?”现在,如果你换工作是因为你不能忍受你的老板,是吗?这常常发生而我们也都经历过。你并不会想要那样说!你要说的是我真的需要在一个我可被照管、被启发的地方,在这里我可以得到指引和教导。与“为什么你现在没有它”相反的,你要真正着重在你所指望获得的东西上头。

因为真的需要一个工作,你知道有些人他们是战战兢兢地进去面试。接着他们听到这些话:“你是大材小用了!”然而他们愿意接下工作并尽力做到最好。你要怎么应付:“你是大材小用了”?

你可以说诸如:“嗯,我,你知道,我真的已经想过了,如果我是你,我也会问同样的问题。而当我想一想,我可以告诉你,事实上,我在找放慢脚步的机会,而我很了解这行业,我也不需要掌管大权。我以前曾经在那阶层中(注一)待过,我可以再来一次。我真的在寻找一个地方,在那儿我可以做贡献,但我不必是那个主持人。”并且你可以真正地表达对那藏在“大材小用”评论背后的关心。

他们可能反过来说:“对我们来说,你只是没有足够的经验”。

噢,对于那些刚开始寻找新工作的人们,或是大学刚毕业的学生,甚至高中刚毕业的职场新人来说,这是很普遍的问题。所以我再一次回到“实习工作是好的”,无论如何那样你可有某种经验展示在简历上:“嘿,是的,我也许不是,你知道,已经在这领域十年,但是我可以告诉你这……在这个暑假我所获得的经验,我加入时什么都不知道,然后我是这么的成功。”你要展示的情况是,是的,你没有什么经验的加入但是仍然能够成功。而就在这儿,推荐信也可以是如此有帮助的。尽管你没有很多经验,任何人都可以是你的好推荐人。即使是一位老师,一位教授,或甚至于,嗯,某人你曾为其做过志愿者,任何可以证明你学习快速并表现良好的人,他都可以是一个很棒的资产。“我们已经喜欢你了。你想要多少薪水?”这是一个狡猾的问题。

噢,这是的!而对于这问题你当然要做好功课。这是网络最好的用处之一。SaIary.com、Indeed.com、Monster、Hotjobs,他们很多现在都附带有薪水计算器。所以你可以查阅你所在地理区位置的工作名称,得到那个职位的薪水范围。并且基于你的经验找到你适合的位置。

简单的说,如果我……如果面试人并没有提出“薪水”这个词,你应该提到吗?

不用马上。而且在最初的谈话中,你甚至还要知道这工作是否很适合。我常常告诉人们:首先变成这个人眼中的大明星,然后你会在一个更好的位置去谈判薪水。而且他们可能甚至会付给你更多,因为他们像是,哇,我们不能让丹尼斯走开。他是如此棒的候选人。我们原本愿意付这么多,但是现在我们找到丹尼斯。我们愿意付更多。

医疗、弹性时间、假日时间,这些都是第一次面试你该提到的问题,还是你等到“回来见史密斯先生”的时候?

是的。来吧……等到再回来的时候,再一次强调,第一次面试应该是关于“这个公司是适合我自己的公司吗?”反之对面试人也是一样的。而如果该公司是个你能将自已融入的地方,好好表现吧,让他们知道为什么你将是极好的胜任者。

我们很高兴你加入我们。非常感谢麦吉·米斯托。

不客气。

注一:the person on the totem poIe这个词组比较常见的用法是a high[Iow]man on the totem poIe;重要(不重要)的人物。这里因为影片中没有提到high或Iow,我们认为这句的意思是在那个阶层中。词汇短语 Words and Phrases

evaluative adj.可估价的;评估性

nerve-wracking adj.极端令人头疼的,非常伤脑筋的

mentor v.有经验可信赖的顾问;指导

downshift v.放慢脚步

attest vt.证明;证实学习小贴士

你知道为什么有时候你说英语时,录下自己的声音,听起来感觉和自己说话时听到的声音不一样吗?我们脑海中的声音是一个谎言,当你说话时,你听到的声音不如周围人听到的那么柔和,而这一切都要怪罪于你的头骨。更确切地说,是你头骨震动的模式。

我们的声音源于喉咙的下部,从肺部呼出的气体经过声带振动发声,接下来通过喉头放大,经由舌头和嘴唇组织成句,经由周围空气传播进入听者的耳道,刺激鼓膜和内耳结构,从而将模拟波形转化为大脑能理解的电脉冲。

然而,内耳不仅仅负责从外部环境中搜集声音。由身体内发出的声音同样可以震动该结构。当你说话的时候,声带的快速振动带动脑壳振动。“当你说话的时候,喉咙中发声会导致你的皮肤、头骨和口腔共鸣,由此我们得到了通常意义上的声音。”范德堡大学听力学教授本·霍恩斯比解释说。

但是声音穿过骨头的过程远不如在空气中传播顺畅。声波降调的可能性增加,并且随着鼓膜双次振动带来的反馈效应,音高也会随之降低。

因此,我们并不能真正直接听到自己的声音。由于耳朵位于嘴巴之后,从口中发出的声音必将先弹到某样物体上随之再传入耳朵。这同样使声波能量降低,随之带来音调和音高的降低,使得我们自己听到的声音远低于周围人直接听到的声音。“你听到的自己的声音是立体声,”迈克尔·凯里说道,“而其他人听到的只是单声道。”这就很好的解释了你听着自己的声音像詹姆斯·厄尔·琼斯,实际录下来再听就完全是另一个人了。

声音是可以模仿和训练的,如果你找到好的发音方式,就努力让它变得更加动听。读书笔记

_______________________________第二篇 诚实 Honesty

诚实是一个人最应该遵守的优良品德之一,也是一家企业最应该遵循的经营之道。当今的社会,很多人目光短浅,只顾眼前利益,甚至是昧着良心来经商,结果严重地损害了自己和他人的名誉和权益。每个人都应该认真地观看一下本篇所讲述的内容,相信会有所启发。原文 ScriptHonestly Speaking-The Honest Company Advertising Video

Being a mom is the most profound experience I have ever had. I'm Jessica Alba, mother of two gorgeous girls.

I'm Christopher Gavigan, and I've spent my adult career focusing on helping parents create healthy environment for their children.

All my priorities in life have completely shifted to my children. I feel this intense responsibility now to create the safest, most loving and healthiest environment for my family.

Before children, there is like a classic selfishness about it. But when you are a parent, you have this great new opportunity to say like,“I would do anything for this new little being.”

As good as it is, it could also be exhausting, and totally overwhelming.I was definitely not prepared.

Today's parents, they are facing a new reality:autism, allergies, childhood cancer. Yet, most parents don't really understand how to protect their children from these chronic diseases.

I mean, there's so much information out there.It's hard to really figure out what is what.And what are the right choices.

There's an assumption that everything on store shelves are safe.That is not always the case.There are many toxic chemicals found in everyday products that had been linked to these chronic diseases.But there is a good news.We can make better and safer choices for a family.

We created The Honest Company because we had to. We had to make it easier for parents to buy safe products for their families.

And The Honest Company is committed to creating the safest, none-toxic, healthiest, family and baby products around.

And you don't even have to go to the grocery and get it. It just pops up on your doorstep.It's kinda perfect.Overall, our dream is to redefine the idea of the family brand.

Because we know that together, we can do things better.

We hope you join us.译文 Translation杰西卡·阿尔芭的诚实公司

当妈妈是我这辈子最深刻的经验。我是杰西卡·阿尔芭,两个惹人疼爱的女孩子的母亲。

我是克里斯托弗·卡维甘,我把我的成人生涯专注于帮助父母为小孩建立健康的环境。

我生活中所有的重心都完全转移到孩子身上。我现在觉得有强烈的责任感为我的家庭建立一个最安全、最有爱还有最健康的环境。

生小孩之前,好像有个典型的私心观念。但是当你成为父母亲,你有这个全新的机会去说,像是:“我愿意为这小生命做任何事。”

就像是它的美好一样,这也可能会使人精疲力竭、完全挡不住的。我绝对没有准备好。

现今的父母,他们面临到新的事实:自闭症,过敏,儿童癌症。然而,大部分的父母并不真的了解如何保护他们的孩子免于这些慢性病。

我是说,外面有这么多的信息。很难去真的分辨什么是什么。还有什么是对的选择。

有个假设是说商店架上的所有东西都是安全的。那不是永远都正确的。在日用品中可以发现很多和这些慢性病有关的毒性化学物质。但是有个好消息,我们可以为家庭做出更好更安全的选择。

因为我们必须做这件事所以成立了诚实公司。我们必须让父母们更简单地为他们的家庭买到安全的产品。

而且诚实公司承诺要创造最安全的、无毒的、最健康的家庭及婴儿产品。

而你甚至不必去杂货店买。它会自己出现在你家门口。这很完美。整体来说,我们的梦想是重新定义家庭品牌的概念。

因为我们知道,团结,我们可以做得更好。

我们期待你的加入。词汇短语 Words and Phrases

_______________________________第三篇 简历 Resume

求职的过程是这样的,你要发现一家公司在招聘,比如看到了他们发的广告,找到适合自己的职位之后,你要把自己的简历先通过该公司预留的联系方式发过去,这是第一次接触,非常重要,是敲门砖。因此你的简历应该怎样写在整个应聘环节中起到决定性作用,只有简历写好了,你才会有接下来的机会。原文 ScriptHow to Write a Resume

Hi, my name is Brad Bucklin, and I'd like to tell you about writing a resume. First, I will go over what to include in a resume.

First, you want to include obviously your name and your contact information, and, preferably at the top of the resume, because that's where they are gonna look for.

Secondly, you want to include an objective. Now, there's some controversy to this, but I say that an objective actually directs your resume, so that they know what you want.And be specific.Be as specific as you can.And don't say something like,“Seeking an employment with an opportunity to……”Just say what you want:“I want an administrative position.”Or“Administrative position,”that's all you need to say.

The other thing is, to include qualifications-things that impress people about you.Now, you don't need to say things like……organized, unless you can back it up with organized……with the ability to do something in the organizational area.

Now, both things should go to top just so they have an idea of what your skills, abilities and talents are. And then you wanna include your……obviously, your job history.And it should be in reverse chronological order, which means the most recent first, working backwards.

Then, after that, you should include your education.Education should also be in reverse chronological order so that the most recent is first.Now, also you wanna remember to be as concise as possible, but get across what is going to be impressive to them, which includes achievements, things that you did on the job that are impressive, like you were employee of the month, or you save them quarter-million dollars, or you were top sales person, something that was an achievement.Those really drive a resume.

So those are some of the basic things that you should include in your resume. If you'd like to learn more about getting a job, click on any of the links above.Thank you.译文 Translation如何写好简历

嗨,我的名字是布拉德·巴克林,我要告诉你如何写简历。首先,我要谈谈应该把什么东西放在简历中。

第一,很明显的你要把你的名字和联系信息放进去,最好是在简历顶端,因为那是他们会去查看的地方。

接着,你要加入一个工作目标。现在,这方面有些争议,但是我认为一个工作目标实际上会引导你的简历,因此他们会知道你想要什么。然后要具体,尽可能的具体。不要说类似这样的话:“想要寻找一个录用的机会……”只要说你想要的:“我要一个行政管理职位。“或是”行政管理职位”,你只要那样说就好。

另一点是,加入你的能力资格——那些让人对你印象深刻的事情。现在,你不需要说些类似,嗯,组织性的事情。除非你有组织性……你有某些领域的组织能力作为本钱。

这两个东西都应该放到简历顶端,以使他们了解你的技能、能力以及天分是什么。然后你要加上你的……很明显的,你的工作简历。而它应该是用倒叙法,也就是把最近的放在第一个,倒叙。

然后,在那之后,你应该加入你的学历。学历也应该是倒叙式的,所以最近的放在第一个。现在,你也要记得尽可能地简洁,但是要传达那些让他们印象深刻的事情,包括你的成就,你在工作上做过让人印象深刻的事情,比如你曾是当月最佳员工,或你帮它们省了二十五万美金,又或者是你曾当选最佳销售员,那些曾有一番成就的事情。那些东西真的影响着一篇履历。

所以那就是一些基本你应该写到简历里面的东西。如果你想要多学一点关于找工作的事情,点击以上任意链接。谢谢。词汇短语 Words and Phrases

_______________________________第四篇 英语 English

我们一直在说学英语的重要性。作为世界上使用最广泛的通用语言,英语无时无刻不存在,小到平时看到的路标、地名和说明书等,大到互联网、影视剧以及资料查询。由于世界上最发达的几个国家都把英语作为官方语言,无论是经济、人文还是科技等领域,英语都能够快速地帮助人们理解思想,传递信息,学习知识。原文 ScriptLearning English-Lesson One(Introduction)

Hi, everybody. This is Misterduncan in England.How are you today?Are you OK?I hope so.Are you happy?I hope so.Welcome to the very first episode of my series of English teaching videos.Before I begin, we will take a look at some of the common questions that often arise when talking about learning the English language, and more importantly, learning it as a second language.So, the first question must be:“Why do we need to learn English?”

Of course, one of the reasons why we need to be able to speak English nowadays is because the world is becoming smaller. Thanks to the Internet and our developing global economy, more and more people are using English as a common way to communicate with each other.So now it has become unavoidable that companies and large businesses will need to employ people who can speak more than their own native language.That is where English comes in.It is now officially considered as an international language.

Of course, learning anything is difficult, and English is no exception. However, there are ways to make the situation easier.I have come up with my own list of general rules for learning English.Do you want to hear them?Do you want to know what they are?Ok, let's go!

Learning English takes time and patience.It cannot be rushed.Try to relax and take it easy.The most important thing you need at the beginning is a good vocabulary.Without words, you have nothing to work with.You must start with a strong foundation or base, and slowly build on it, day by day!You must view English as a part of your body, just as you would, an arm or a leg.It must become a part of your everyday life.Daily practice is very important.Do not worry about making mistakes.In fact, the more mistakes you make, the more you will learn from them.Just like learning to ride a bike, sometimes you fall off.So what do you do?You get back on and try again.Do not look at English as just another subject.

Your attitude to English and the way you view it will decide how well you progress, just as we say in English:“No pain, no gain.”The two most important words to remember when learning English are:practice and confidence.Practice English everyday and be confident.You will find that the more you use English, the better your English will become, and the more confident you become, then the more you will want to use it.Make it a rule to tell yourself:I can do it……I can do it……I can do it!

Please remember, my lessons are aimed at everyone, so hopefully you will find something useful in each one. Maybe you will find some of the words I use very easy, but you will also see some words that may be new to you.Remember, my lessons are aimed at everyone.Even teachers are very welcome to join in.

Learning English should be a fun experience, and I hope with the help of my video lessons, you will discover just how much fun it can be. I hope you've enjoyed my first lesson.This is Misterduncan in England, saying,“thanks for watching and bye-bye for now.”译文 Translation英语学习第一课:介绍

嗨,大家好。这里是英国的邓肯老师。你今天好吗?你还好吗?希望如此。你快乐吗?希望如此。欢迎来到我的英语教学系列影片的第一集。在我开始之前,我们将会看一下当谈到英语这门语言的时候,常常出现的一些共同问题,还有更重要的,把它当作第二语言来学习。所以,第一个问题一定是:“我们为什么非要学英语?”

当然,如今为何我们要能说英语的其中一个原因是因为这世界正在变得越来越小。感谢因特网以及我们发展中的全球经济,越来越多的人使用英语来当作互相沟通的普遍方式。所以现在公司和大型企业将会无可避免地需要雇用不仅只能说自己母语的员工。英语从那儿流行了起来。它现在正式被认定为一种国际语言。

当然,学任何东西都很难,而英语也不例外。然而,有方法能让情况更简单些。我已经想出了我自己学英语通用规则的清单。你想要听听看吗?你想知道它们是什么吗?好,来吧!

学英语需要时间和耐心。它无法速成。试着放轻松然后慢慢来。一开始最重要的是好的词汇量。没有单词,你没有任何东西可以使用。你得从一个很强的基础或是根基开始,并慢慢地在此发展,日复一日!你必须将英语看作是你身体的一部分,就像是你看待手和脚一样。它一定要成为你日常生活的一部分。每天练习是非常重要的。不要担心犯错。事实上,你犯越多错,你会从中学到越多。就像是学骑自行车一样,有时候你跌倒。所以你会怎么做?你爬回去再试一次。别把英语视为就只是另一门科目。

你对英语的态度还有你看待它的方式会决定你进步的成效,就像是我们英语说的:“一分耕耘,一分收获。”学英语时,要记得的两个最重要的单词是:练习和自信。每天练习英语并有自信。你会发现你英语用得越多,你的英语会越好,然后你会变得更有自信,接着你会越想用它。养成习惯告诉你自己:我可以做到……我可以做到……我可以做到!

请记得,我的课程是针对每一个人,所以希望你在每堂课程中会找到某些有用的东西。也许你会发现有些我使用的单词很简单,但是你或许也会看到一些对你来说是新的词。记得,我的课程是针对每个人的。甚至老师们也非常欢迎加入。

学英语应该是个有趣的体验,而我希望借着我的影片课程的帮助,你会发现它可以是多么的有趣。我希望你已经享受了我的第一堂课。这里是英国的邓肯先生,跟你说“谢谢收看,再见吧。”词汇短语 Words and Phrases

unavoidable adj.不可避免的学习小贴士

英语中的一些“有礼貌”的说法:

1、西方人(主要指有一定修养的欧美人)在与他人交流时,比较多地使用情态动词:can、could、may、might、would等等;情态动词(Model Verbs)又称为情态助动词(Model Auxil-iaries),表示说话人的语气,可表达建议、要求、可能和意愿等,使得说话的语气比较有礼貌。

2、比较多地使用虚拟语气,比如would(had)rather、would(had)sooner、would(just)as soon等等,或者在陈述句中使用过去式表示虚拟语气,或者使用if等引导的从句表示“可能性”。这样说话可以使人感觉表达者是在考虑达到最佳的结果或方式,尽量避免不好的结果或方式,或者推测可能出现的问题,并找出可能解决的办法。
