學(xué)習(xí)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)(BEC)的好習(xí)慣：要會(huì)即學(xué)即用
具體的步驟很簡(jiǎn)單，
1、發(fā)現(xiàn)不錯(cuò)的表達(dá)
2、創(chuàng)造環(huán)境使用這個(gè)表達(dá)
稍微初級(jí)一點(diǎn)的方式就是在別人說(shuō)完一句話后，開始用這個(gè)表達(dá)，比如通常情況下，我們說(shuō)燈光昏暗，可能會(huì)用到there is not enough light around或者it is dark right here。但是偶爾聽到一個(gè)人用到了非常地道的表達(dá)，如the light is dim�？傆X得和我們平日的習(xí)慣不同，于是便開始找機(jī)會(huì)用出去。在那個(gè)人說(shuō)完the light is dim之后，馬上說(shuō)一句definitely, the light is always dim here. 當(dāng)然，也可以趁機(jī)問(wèn)問(wèn)旁邊的人do you think the light is dim here? 這樣一個(gè)表達(dá)，在你的耳中聽到了一次，口中重復(fù)了兩次，加工的過(guò)程是在你的心中進(jìn)行的重復(fù)，自然應(yīng)該能夠記牢的。重復(fù)次數(shù)足夠多，自然就記住了。
有的東西念念不忘，卻不經(jīng)意間忘記了，因?yàn)槟阒貜?fù)的是“不要忘”，卻忘記了不應(yīng)該忘記的內(nèi)容，我們熟悉的是I have a dream，卻忘記了后面dream的內(nèi)容，因?yàn)槲覀兠看沃貜?fù)的都是I have a dream，至于每個(gè)具體的dream是什么，卻很少有人反復(fù)研讀。同理，有很多東西很想刻意讓自己忘掉，卻怎么都忘不掉。最經(jīng)典的例子是韓劇，一個(gè)女人好不容易看上一個(gè)男的，男的又喜歡另外一個(gè)女的，好不容易糾結(jié)了幾十集，這個(gè)女生情感有了歸屬，后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)方要么和她是兄妹，要么是姐弟，要么是戀人，但是會(huì)經(jīng)歷車禍，要么就是失意，要么就是血癌，于是她總會(huì)躲在被子里面哭，說(shuō)：“我一定要忘掉xx，我一定要忘掉xx，我一定要忘掉xx”然后把被子一掀，痛哭：“哎，怎么就是忘不掉呢?”我在旁邊竊竊地說(shuō)：“都重復(fù)了說(shuō)三遍了，還忘得掉么?”
道理其實(shí)人人都懂，但是同學(xué)們雜念太多，總是不能放下思想包袱，輕松上陣，比如同學(xué)們都覺得Important可以換成significant，這樣顯得有學(xué)問(wèn)有文化，畢竟前一個(gè)是初中詞匯，后一個(gè)是大學(xué)詞匯，于是在英語(yǔ)角就會(huì)出現(xiàn)這樣一幕，自己說(shuō)某某很重要，用了important，然后開始罵自己：“怎么那么腦殘呢，居然用important，important是初中詞匯啊，還有一個(gè)比important還重要的詞匯叫做significant啊，哎，我怎么想不到呢，居然還要用important……”如此循環(huán)往復(fù)，發(fā)現(xiàn)里面important出現(xiàn)四次，significant出現(xiàn)一次，拋開原來(lái)important在我們生活中出現(xiàn)次數(shù)肯定比significant多這個(gè)事實(shí)，能夠留下深刻印象的還是important。而且下次還會(huì)本能反應(yīng)important，然后還會(huì)以更加嚴(yán)苛的調(diào)調(diào)罵自己，直到氣到冒煙，自焚為止。
最好的辦法就是在聽到別人用significant這類詞的時(shí)候，開始不斷的創(chuàng)造環(huán)境重復(fù)這個(gè)詞，讓自己強(qiáng)化，比如對(duì)方說(shuō)it is significant to receive higher education. 我們可以像剛才一樣同意他的觀點(diǎn)，說(shuō)it is definitely significant to receive higher education. 也可以不贊同的他的觀點(diǎn)，說(shuō)it is definitely significant to receive higher education but it would be more significant to let people know the significance of high-learning. 然后講出自己觀點(diǎn)和理由，接著問(wèn)旁邊的人說(shuō)both of us agree that it is significant to receive higher education and I am wondering what might be the most significant thing we need to do to let people know the significance of this mission? 這樣又可以再不斷重復(fù)，走到另外一組可以再?gòu)?fù)述剛才討論過(guò)的話題，用到剛才用過(guò)的你的和組里面所有人的語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣。效果絕佳。唯一一點(diǎn)是要注意，老外說(shuō)話的時(shí)候不會(huì)把一個(gè)詞重復(fù)那么多次，所以可以適當(dāng)有一些變化，如果做不出變化，那就適當(dāng)給自己一點(diǎn)時(shí)間思考下面一句話怎么構(gòu)思，在別人說(shuō)話的時(shí)候傾聽，然后表達(dá)。當(dāng)然，順便說(shuō)一下，有人在糾結(jié)用important, critical, significant, vital, crucial, essential, fundamental等中的哪個(gè)比較好，其實(shí)外國(guó)人不會(huì)因?yàn)槟阌昧似渲幸粋�(gè)就會(huì)判定你的語(yǔ)言程度達(dá)到了某個(gè)水平，這些詞每個(gè)都有“重要”的意思，卻在特定環(huán)境下都有獨(dú)一無(wú)二的屬性，如果你想研究，可以參看近義詞詞典，如果沒工夫研究，又想練出去，最簡(jiǎn)單的方法就是用一系列結(jié)構(gòu)，能夠盡量多的涌出這些詞，比如我常用的A, B, or even C結(jié)構(gòu)，可以說(shuō) it is important, critical or even highly essential to receive higher education, as far as…is specifically concerned. 只要層次是在不斷提升，或者表達(dá)有所遞進(jìn)的話，就可以一舉兩得，既可以表達(dá)內(nèi)容，又可以不斷打造自己的語(yǔ)言習(xí)慣。
當(dāng)每一個(gè)動(dòng)作都已經(jīng)練習(xí)到位的時(shí)候，我們需要進(jìn)一步的努力，畢竟一招一式肯定抵不過(guò)組合的招數(shù)，所以我們可以來(lái)看一個(gè)在英語(yǔ)角的例子，看看雙方是怎么利用這個(gè)方法來(lái)相互學(xué)習(xí)的，紅色部分是需要學(xué)習(xí)的語(yǔ)言點(diǎn), 藍(lán)色的部分是學(xué)會(huì)并應(yīng)用出來(lái)的語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)。
A: Let’s touch upon environmental issues.
B: Practically, every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.
A: Practically, the use of energy and resources, primarily oil, can be traced to our daily life. Specifically, to keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it, not to mention other human activities related to industries.
B: Exactly, but the price we pay for our addiction related to energy has already been too high.
A: Ispet seems that we can not live without consuming energy and resources and this sort of mentality has gradually become a habit which we can hardly escape; that is basically when addiction happens. In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy. Specifically, the book can produce an addiction as fierce as heroin or nicotine, forcing us to spend much of our lives on it, not to mention those energies.
B: True. If we think outside the box, there are a lot of things that can be done without our being addicted to. Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance.
A: But these activities should inevitably be based on human survival and living standard improvement; that is basically when a large amount of energy consumption becomes a must but there are still other ways out to prevent over-consumption and environmental problems.
