10个趣味方法教你更快学英语
We’ve all heard a thousand times that the only way to really learn English is to be totally immersed in the language, completely surrounded by it everywhere you go. But we wanted to go deeper than that and find quick and easy ways to start getting immersed. So our research team put together 10 steps that you can follow, in this order, to make learning English faster and a whole lot more fun.
学习英语的唯一方式就是让自己融入到语言中去。这句话恐怕听得耳朵都长茧了吧。但我们想了解的更多，想了解如何更快更容易的去融入。所以我们的调查小分队列出了十个可以遵循的步骤，按照这个顺序，让你的英语学习更加快速，充满乐趣吧。
1: Find some English radio stations and podcasts in iTunes.
在iTunes上找一些英语广播台或播客。
There are tons of podcasts about all topics imaginable these days: entertainment, politics, news. A good way to find one is to look for a podcast from a TV channel you usually watch in your cable TV. Look for one that interests you and listen to it in your car while driving. You’ll train your ear that way!
现在有无数的播客提供各类话题：娱乐、政治、新闻。搜寻的最佳方式就是从你经常看的电视频道找一个出来。挑一个你感兴趣的，开车的时候听一听。耳朵的本事就这么慢慢锻炼出来啦。
2: Check out the Top Videos on YouTube and watch for at least a few minutes
在YouTube.上找最热的视频至少看几分钟。
Most of them are hilarious! It will be so worth it. Try looking at the comments to pick up some words and sentences y ou aren’t familiar with, but be careful there is all kinds of bizarre stuff in YouTube comments.
大部分都非常搞笑！绝对值得一看。再试着看看下面的评论，找出你不是很熟悉的单词或者句子，但也别忘了底下的评论也有些恶搞。
3: Talk and sing to yourself in English.
用英语和自己对话唱歌。
When you are alone at home, or of course in the shower, start talking! Sing a song in English the way it sounds to you, talk about the weather or any other topic. Do this frequently and your pronunciation will drastically improve –guaranteed!
一个人在家，或洗澡的时候，和自己说话吧！或是对自己唱一首英文歌，谈谈天气或其他的话题。经常这样做，你的发音绝对会有意想不到的提高——人格担保！
4: Do you have an English-speaking idol? Go to YouTube and watch all of
his/her interviews in English.
你有膜拜的英语大神么？去看看他所有的英文访谈吧。
You can spend hours doing that listening to interviews and it sure won’t feel like studying. But it is! It helps you a great deal.
你可以花很多时间来看这些访谈，绝对不会让你有学习的感觉，但这真的是一种学习哦！能大大地帮助到你。
5: Sit near people who are speaking English on the bus or in the park. Listen in…
公车上或公园里，不妨做得离老外近一点，听一听呀。
Okay now don’t be a creepy eavesdropper! But, see what words you can pick up and listen to the flow of the conversation. How much did you understand? What general topic were they talking about? Did you hear an interesting word you might want to look up after?
放心这绝不是偷听！但是看看你能听懂多少个词语，听一下对话的进程。你能理解多少？他们大概在谈论什么话题？你听到什么有趣的词让你有回家翻字典的冲动么？
6: Pay attention to billboards, signs, advertisements, magazine stands and establishment names.
关注一些榜单、标示、广告、售报亭和企业名称。
Look and think about what these ads mean. How many words do you recognize? Did you see that same word elsewhere? Make up sentences about wha t you’re seeing.
看看想想这些广告的含义。哪些词你是认识的？你还在哪里看到这个词？用看到的词造个句呗。
7: Love music? Try figuring out the words/lyrics of your favorite songs.
爱音乐？研究下你喜欢歌曲的歌词。
Watch video clips with lyrics on YouTube and sing along. Read the translation and build up your vocabulary. Listen to “clean” versions of songs and try to figure out what dirty words were taken out. It’s fun!
在YouTube上看看带歌词的原版MV，跟着一起唱吧。看看翻译版本能扩大词汇量。再听不带字幕的版本，试着找出被“阉割”掉的不文明词汇。哈哈，真的很有意思哦。
8: Watch TV clips, episodes or soap operas in English.
看英语原声的电视片段、剧集和肥皂剧。
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what they’re saying, watch anyway! Try to understand why something is funny or sad . If the joke is related to the word itself, then maybe that is why the joke does not make sense in your native language. What would be the best translation into your language then?
不明白他们在说什么其实没关系，看就是了！试着去理解什么搞笑什么煽情。如果这个笑话和单词有关，那么也许在你的母语中并没有那么好笑。那怎么翻译才最到位呢？
9: Engage in a conversation on Facebook with friends who post in English.
和英语国家的朋友在脸书上交谈。
When you have English speakers in your timeline, you see their posts daily and get inside information about news and viral videos in English. Your friends can be your teachers! Their timeline basically sort out the best material for you to study.
如果你的好友名单里有英语国家的朋友，你会看到他们每天的签名更新，更能了解用英语表达出他们国家的一些新闻和时事视频。朋友也可以是你的老师！他们的状态更新就是你最好的学习材料。
10: Produce, produce, produce. No matter how shy you are or how much you
don’t “get” English, force yourself to speak.
说出来说出来说出来。无论你多么内向，英语多烂，逼着自己去说。
Help out a tourist who looks lost. They won’t mind you struggling with the language while you’re doing them a favor! After class, talk to your teacher about how things are going and what you need help with in English. When traveling, ask around for directions in English, even if you don’t need them! Try purchasing things online and by phone, or using customer support in English.
帮助看似迷路的外国游客。只要是在帮忙，他们不介意你英语的好坏！课后和老师谈谈最
近的近况，以及需要得到英语学习方面什么样的帮助。旅游的时候，用英语问一下路，哪
怕并不需要！试试用英语网购、手机购物或使用客户服务！
It does not matter if you talk slowly, you are learning, that’s only natural!
说的慢没关系，关键在于你是在学习！
BONUS TIP: When seeing a new movie look up the original title on https://www.360docs.net/doc/4a13142390.html,
最后的小建议：如果在IMDB网站看到新的电影，不妨你看看原版的名称。
The translation sometimes does not correspond directly to the original. Find
out what the original title really means. Ask yourself how the translation makes sense. What is the relation to the movie? You will never forget a new
word that once it’s associated with an unforgettable movie. Works every time!
翻译有时候并不遵循原版。找出原来的电影名字，看看到底什么意思。然后想想这么翻译
的意义，和电影有何相关性？看过一场难忘的电影，你绝对不会再忘记这里面的生词了，
每次都这样做吧！

一周七天的典故 在中国，一周七天，我们分别称之为星期一、星期二……或者周一、周二……是以数字来表示的。而在英语里，七天各有其名。这是盎格鲁萨克森人为纪念他们崇拜的神而命名的。 盎格鲁萨克森人——公元五世纪，原居北欧的日耳曼部落入侵不列颠，他们当中包括盎格鲁人（Angles）、萨克森人（Saxons），朱特人（Jutes）。而盎格鲁人定居的地方就是现在的英格兰。 除了星期六（Saturday）来源于罗马的萨图恩神（saturn）以外，其余六天的名字都来源于北方诸神。 星期日：Sunday，the day of the Sun，“太阳日”。对基督徒而言，星期日是“安息日”，因为耶稣复活的日子是在星期日。约在西元三百年左右，欧洲教会和政府当局开始明订星期日为休息的日子，直到今日，世界上大多数的国家都以Sunday为星期例假日。 星期一：Monday，the day of the Moon，从Moonday发展至现在的Mon day，“月亮日”。 星期二：Tuesday，源于Tiwesday，“战神日”。Tiw是北欧神话里的战神，正如同罗马神话里的战神Mars一样。在北欧神话中不叫Tiw而叫Tyr。相传在他的那个时代，有一狼精经常出来扰乱世界，为了制服狼精，Tyr的一只手也被咬断了。 星期三：Wednesday，源于Woden’s day，“Woden”是风暴之神，“风神日”。Woden是北欧诸神之父。为制服狼精而牺牲自己一只手的Tyr，就是他的儿子。 星期四：Thursday，是为了纪念雷神（Thor）而命名的。故星期四又称为“雷神日”。红头发的雷神索尔（星期四的来源）是主神奥丁的儿子，他戴着一副特殊的绶带和手套，具有超人的力量，能够把岩石击碎。 星期五：Friday，在古英文中Friday意思是Frigg’s day。Frigg是北欧神话中主司婚姻和生育的女神，也是Woden的妻子。相传她平日身披闪耀白长袍，住在水晶宫中，和侍女们一起编织五颜六色的彩云。对於北欧人而言，星期五是幸运的日子。然而对基督徒来说却是相反的，因为耶稣受难日正好是星期五。 星期六：Saturday，the day of Saturn，Sat。urn农神

趣味英语小故事精选 英语趣味故事精选 英语趣味故事精选一狐狸和葡萄 One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy。 "I'm just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes。 He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes。 The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up。 He walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour。” 一个炎热的夏日，狐狸走过一个果园，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。 狐狸想：“我正口渴呢。”于是他后退了几步，向前一冲，跳起来，却无法够到葡萄。 狐狸后退又试。一次，两次，三次，但是都没有得到葡萄。 狐狸试了一次又一次，都没有成功。最后，他决定放弃，他昂起头，边走边说：“葡 萄还没有成熟，我敢肯定它是酸的。” 寓意：在经历了许多尝试而不能获得成功的时候，有些人往往故意轻视成功，以此 来寻求心理安慰。 英语趣味故事精选二爱屋及乌 There was a state called zhou 周 in the chinese history。 中国历史上有一个国家名叫“周”。 One day, the king of zhou asked his officials for advice on deal with prisoners of war。 一天，周王问他的官员，应该怎样处理战俘。 An official said, "i once heard if you love someone, you are intended to love even the crows on the roof of his house; if you hate someone, you are

英语趣味小知识(2)——你会犯这样的错误吗？ 你会犯这样的错误吗？ 英语有时候真是莫名其妙，你觉得你明明懂了，可实际上你又没有懂。所以，今天我想讲几件轶事，都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。也许，从他们的经验中，你也可以学到一些东西。 第一个故事发生在秘鲁，一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。她问服务员： Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands? 服务员把她带到洗手间，可不巧，正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。工人们一看有人要用洗手间，就准备离开。服务员拦住他们，说： That’s Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands. 在英语里，wash my hands实际上是上厕所的委婉说法。那个服务员按照字面意思理解，结果闹了笑话。还有一次，一个留学生在国外的学校第一天上学，心里又兴奋又紧张。一个美国人见到一张新面孔，为了表示友好，就问： Hi! What’s the good word? 留学生一听到这个，立刻傻眼了，他想， My God! I don’t know the good word. I’ve studied English for years, but no one told me about the good word! 他犹豫再三，想，反正我也不知道，就问问他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地问： Hello. What’s the good word? 老美听了，很随意地说： Oh, not much. 这下，这个留学生就更吃惊了！ 原来，What’s the good word? 在美语里，是一句问候语，意思是“你还好吗？”但问话的人并不指望你把遇到的高兴的事情都一一告诉他，只是打个招呼而已。但这个留学生以为对方真的在问什么是Good word，所以闹了笑话，不过还好，也算给他歪打正着了。 下面的故事就更有意思了。一次，一个美国公司的管理人员给公司一个驻外分部发了一份传真，要求对方把职员的人数报上来。他是这么说的： I need a head count telling the number of people in your factory, the number of people in your office, broken down by sex. 在上面的传真里，broken down by sex是“按照性别分开”的意思，但是分公司的外国职员没有理解“broken down by sex”的意思。不过break something/someone down倒是还有一个意思，就是“把某事物，把某人压服”。

The retailer on the right put up huge signs saying, "Gigantic Sale!" and "Super Bargains!" The store on the left raised bigger signs proclaiming, "Prices Slashed!" and "Fantastic Discounts!"
The owner in the middle then prepared a large sign that simply stated, "ENTRANCE". 中间战术 三个互相争生意的商店老板在一条商业街上租用了毗邻的店铺。旁观者等着瞧好戏。 右边的零售商挂起了巨大的招牌，上书：“大减价!”“特便宜!” 左边的商店挂出了更大的招牌，声称：“大砍价!”“大折扣!” 中间的商人随后准备了一个大招牌，上面只简单地写着：“入口处”。 Very Pleased to Meet You During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers. One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, "I’m going abroad tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could write to each other." Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months. Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England. Joan went there and said to the matron, "I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys." "Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here," the matron said.

①He Was Only Wrong by Two Jack Hawkins was the football coach at an American college, and he was always trying to find good players, but they weren’t always smart enough to be accepted by the college. One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination. "Well," the dean said after some persuasion, "I‘d better ask him a few questions first." Then he turned to the student and asked him some very easy questions, but the student didn’t know any of the answers. At last the dean said, "Well, what‘s five times seven?" The student thought for a long time and then answered, "Thirty-six." The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair, but the coach said earnestly, "Oh, please let him in, sir! He was only wrong by two."

There used to be a lot of famous people inside, all made of wax, but I suppose they've changed most of them now.” While Smith was buying the tickets at the pay-desk, Nancy looked round. “Did your mother use to come too?”she asked. “Not very often.”Smith told her.“She used to stay at home and look after babies. Come on, up these stairs.” At the top of the stairs stood an attendant, holding some catalogues. Nancy went up to her, openingher handbag, while Smith watched her. “How much are the catalogues, please?”Nancy asked; but the girl didn't answer. And she didn't realize that she had been talking to a waxwork until she heard Smith laughing behind her.

少儿英语小故事，学英语趣味不断！ 6篇版 第一篇 The Boy Bathing A boy bathing in a river was in danger of being drowned. He called out to a passing traveler for help, but instead of holding out a helping hand, the man stood by unconcernedly, and scolded the boy for his imprudence. "Oh, sir!" cried the youth, "pray help me now and scold me afterwards." 有一天，有个小男孩在河里洗澡，遇到了危险，眼看要被淹死时，看见有人路过，连忙大声呼救。然而，那人却责备小男孩太鲁莽和太冒险。小孩回答：“请你还是先把我救起来，再责备吧。” Counsel without help is useless. 这个故事带出的启示就是：该说的时候说，该做的时候做。 第二篇 The Lion and the Mouse A lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily，he caught him and was about to kill him，when the Mouse piteously entreated，saying：“If you would only spare my life，I would be sure to repay your kindness.” The Lion laugh ed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters，who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse，recognizing his roar，came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free，exclaiming： 狮子睡着了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来，把他抓住，准备吃掉。老鼠请求饶命，并说如果保住性命，必将报恩，狮子轻蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，狮子真的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获，并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他的哀嚎，走过去咬断绳索，放走了狮子，并说： “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you，expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion.” “你当时嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的报答，现在可清楚了，老鼠也能报恩。” 这故事说明，时运交替变更，强者也会有需要弱者的时候。

I've Passed My Right on to You 我把权利转让给你了 One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when somebody gave him a violent blow on the back of the neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before. “How dare you hit me like that!”shouted Wilson. The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing. This insult made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once arranged for the young man to be brought before a judge. There was nothing for the young man to do but to appear before the court. Now, the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man's father, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking how he could avoid punishing the young man while at the same time not appearing unjust. Finally he said to Wilson,“I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?” Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished. “Well, then,”said the judge to the young man,“I order you to pay ten liras to Wilson.” Ten liras was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it. Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, he waited two hours, while the judge attended to other business.
