第一篇:[必知]看英语电影学英语
[必知]看英语电影学英语
学一部英语电影,相当于在外国生活一个月 美国电影与快乐英语 李刚 一直以来,学英语的中国人把听误解为仅仅是练听力和口语的方法。其实,听是积累词汇的最佳途径,听是积累句型的最佳途径,听是学习语法的最佳途径,听是学习语言的最原始、最自然、最基本、最有效、最正确的途径,任何独辟蹊径的做法都是违背自然、违背规律的,因而也是最浪费时间、效率最低、最有可能造成灾难性后果的方法。听、说、读、写,听为先。一个五岁的孩子,词汇量可达到5000个,他言语流畅,叙述准确,几乎没有什么语法错误,五岁的孩子不识字,他的语言能力是听来的。语言学家德华特?鲍林杰以为,语言是声音,语言是行为。语言渗透在人类的一切行为中,渗透在每一行为的任何细节。一个独立行走之前的孩子的语言很难有大的发展,因为他生活的环境只有母亲和他的小床。当他会走的时候,他才真正走进了生活,走进了社会,他遇到了更多的人,听到了更多的声音,看到了更多的行为,他在这新鲜、奇妙的世界里有那么多美好要理解,有那么多快乐要表达,他的语言能力奇妙地发展起来。近年来,复读机的热销,似乎表明学英语的人群已经开始重视听。听什么?如何听?有位父亲说,他给孩子买了复读机,买了与课本配套的磁带,孩子每天晚上都听一个多小时,几个月后,英语考试竟不及格。有天晚上,父亲突然将儿子的耳机抢过来一听,竟是流行歌曲。课本的枯燥,磁带的枯燥,孩子不愿听。岂止是孩子,成人也不愿听。常听人说,听烂一盒磁带,便会有质的奔腾,却没见谁果真把一盒磁带听烂。七七年、七八年恢复高考后的第一、二届大学生,大都30多岁了,他们在中学时候学了一点俄语,在大学四年,英语也只学了点皮毛,然而他们中有很多人往了美国,如今大都成为著名学者。他们的英语是如何学的呢?近来重读王小波的《我的精神家园》中的一段,激动得拍案而起!王小波初到美国,别说听课,与人沟通都困难。他是怎样学英语的呢?看美国老电影!他借了几十部美国老电影的录象带,每天看,不久,他的英语水平大幅度提高。近日,遇到了香港思维集团北京公司的总经理沈龙先生,他从美国回国不久。谈到英语学习方法,他也说到了看美国老电影。像音乐之声等美国老电影,的确让人百看不厌。更重要的是,美国老电影不象现在的那些***那样太口语化。美国老电影,语速慢,句子完整,语音清晰如电台播音员。30多岁的王小波、沈龙们,走进美国老电影,比美国的刚学会走路的孩子走入母语环境下的新生活,英语学得更轻松、更快、更好。有人说,看一部美国老电影,相当于在美国生活30天,看上几十部美国老电影,你就是一位在美国生活了几年的美国通了。想想当年王小波他们,花一大把美元背井离乡在大洋彼岸用看美国老电影的方法学英语,真是杀鸡用了宰牛刀。今天的中国人学英语,最好的语言环境在中国大陆,而不是美国。几千年的封建意识已经渗透进我们的血液,在教育上的毒害之深,尤其表现为师道尊严,摆出一副严肃的教育的面孔,似乎是唯有苦,唯有累,才是学习的正道。读书苦,苦读书;衣带渐宽终不悔,为伊消得人憔悴;皓首穷经,费九牛二虎之力,到头来什么也没有学好。苦和累是违背人的天性的。有位美国作家认真研究了他所知道的那些取得卓越成就的人物之后发现,这些人无一例外地都是把工作当成了休假,乐在其中,乐此不疲。喜新厌旧是人的本能,追求美好、快乐是人的天性。唯快乐才有兴趣,唯快乐才有热情,唯快乐才能持之以恒,唯持之以恒才会卓有成效。米卢给中国足球带来了两大法宝,一是态度决定一切的理念,一是快乐足球的理念。为了增进足球的快乐,米卢和队员们玩网式足球。要想真正学好英语,你必须彻底屏弃“刻苦努力”的传统观念。去寻找,去发现,去感受,去拓展,英语的快乐!想一想,在童年时代,少年时代,青年时代,有一样东西曾让我们快乐,让我们着迷,让我们陶醉,那就是电影,尤其是外国电影。无论你16岁还是60岁,只要你静下心来看上几场美国电影,你都会上瘾,你在感受快乐英语的同时,你还会找回那种久违了的年轻的感觉。六步电影学习法 第一步,挑自己喜欢看的电影,千万不要太难(太难的电影,到了第三步你就后悔了)第二步,调出中文字幕,先看一遍,明白电影到底说什么,不要急于先看英文字幕。第三步,看英文字幕——这一遍的任务很重:把所有不会的单词和表达法都摘抄出来。放到word文档里。第四步,看别的电影去,或者做什么别的。隔上一周。第五步,复习单词,再看一遍,不带任何字幕的。这一遍连贯的看,不要停顿。第六步,疯狂的看,一定要把所有生词都听出来,一定要把每一个细节都听出来。有人会以为直接走第六步会不会更好。答案是:不会。直接走第六步,你会崩溃。哈哈哈哈。此外,当你多看几部电影,每部都这么处理以后,你会搜集很多的生词。这些生词的特点是:都是来自于真实情节的,而不像词汇书上的例句那样是编者自己编的,一点都不现实。在实际的场景中了解单词,效果会很好。当然,你也会枯燥。但是,当你搜集了足够多的电影生词以后,你会发现很多的词在多部电影中都出现。这些词就很轻易背记。随着你一个一个把已经背下的单词从文档中删去的时候,感觉是很爽的。新东方英语电影学习法。2008年07月15日 星期二 12:00中国人学习英语的热情恐怕是世界上最高的,但是很大程度上,这种空前的热情并没有直接转化为学生英语能力的提高,尽管有些人考试分数有所改观,但“可怕”的听说能力仍然限制了大多数学生想在外企工作或者出国的愿看。英语口语学习信赖的是循序渐进的学习方法和身临其境的语言环境,而4+1学习法在这里就提供了一个很好的平台。很多学员都参加过新东方学校的4+1英语培训班,学习到了很多的口语技巧,练习了英语口语,但有些同学对电影学习仍然感到很困惑,或许是由于课时太少、影片过难的缘故,这里,我想就通过欣赏电影学习英语提几点个人的建议。众所周知,英语学习十分需要语言环境,很多人出国就是为了在国外找一个Genuine English Environment,培养自己的英语思维,练就一口地道、标准的英语。而对于大多数身在国内、又想学好英语口语的学生来说,除了经常和外教聊天,参加英语角,ICQ或MSN语音聊天等等,欣赏欧美大片则是一个非常好的方法。不仅仅是因为尽大多数的学员都喜爱看电影,更是因为通过这样轻松愉快的方式提高自己对英语学习的浓厚兴趣。当然并不是盲目、一味的去看电影,这里有很多技巧和方法可循的。首先,要选择适合自己听说能力的相应难度的影片。通过教课实践,我个人以为,高中毕业以前或相当英语水平(初级口语班)的学员应该多看一些动画片和校园生活片(含情景局),原因就是,这些电影的观众大多数都是欧美国家的孩子或者中学生,影片对白的语速适中,台词较轻易理解,情节也比较吸引人,同时,这些电影的主题也很鲜明,如一些经典的卡通片都值得一看,我个人比较欣赏的是: “Mulan”, “Finding Nemo”, “Monster’s Company”, “The Prince of Egypt”, “Ant Z”, “Brother Bear”等等。另外还有一些校园生活片如“The Confessions of A Teenager Drama Queen”, “Freaky Friday”等等。在西安新东方学校每周五的电影欣赏讲座中,我们就尝试着播放并讲解了以上的几个影片,特别受学生的欢迎,不仅仅是片中幽默搞笑的情节和镜头,或是影片所用的一些经典台词,更重要的是是电影所反映的社会文化。举 “Freaky Friday”,片中女主角被罚DETENSION,我就会告诉学生,在美国,中学生如果犯了错误,除了找家长,写检查等,还有一种惩罚方式就是关禁闭,这是很典型的美国社会文化,这样学生就能够通过自己经历和影片的差异,来通过文化层面学习语言。当然,大学生或者相当水平(中级口语班)的学员就可以选择一些流行经典大片来观看,因为这些影片或多或少难度会略有提高,而且情节稍显复杂,需要不断去理解才能明白整个影片。需要提醒的是,有些影片反映的是一种消极或者邪恶的文化,观众应当有所选择的去欣赏,要了解其所反映的积极的一面,去学习。而一些传世佳作如“Sleepless in Seattle”, “Sabrina”, “When Harry met Sally”, “Gone with the Wind”等等都是需要认真学习的影片。另外,看电影,学什么,这是导致很多学生茫然的另外一个问题。在新东方课堂上,我发现,很多学生很在乎电影的情节和内容,而忽视了老师的讲解,以至于有时到电影欣赏课的后半部分,有些学生干脆不想让老师讲了,就想看电影,这就是曲解了“看电影学英语”的宗旨。我认为,首先从语音语调和一些语音现象学起。在原版大片中,大多数原声或配音的演员的发音都是很清晰而标准的,我们可以从一些单词或短语的发音学起,不断模仿,不断重复,练习正确的发音方式。英式英语和美式英语的不同也可以从电影中学到,如美国人发在两个原因之间的清塞音/t/这个音时,都喜欢把这个轻辅音适当浊化趋向于/d/的音,你可以在很多单词中发现这个原理,如little, better, hospital等。其他的连续、弱读、缩读、失去爆破很多语音现象会在电影道白中大量出现,这也是我倡导语音班的同学去大量看电影的原因,因为他们学习了很多的发音规则,但理论与实践结合的时候,他们就需要在这样纯正的语音环境中去大量练习,达到熟练成自然的程度。再次,学习词汇,地道表达法,俚语和经典句型。以讲授花木兰为例,我首先在讲义上印好或者提前在黑板上写好一些辅助词汇,像gasp, grunt, pant, snore, screech, groan, neigh, sizzle等等的词汇,因为这些词汇固然不影响他们对电影的理解,但实际上这些表示动作、声音、状态的词恰正是生活中常见常用的“小词”, 通过提前的学习和电影中频繁的出现,学生们往往能形象化的记住这些词的词义,这也是本人倡导的“背单词-形象记忆法”,因为人们对图像和声音的记忆能力往往要高于对文字的记忆能力,这样,电影中一个片段的深刻印象会帮助学生记住该片段所表达的含义。如木兰见媒婆之后把她屁股烧着了,屏幕下放显示了fire sizzling的字幕,即使很多学生不知道sizzle的含义,但是他也可以根据当时的场景和上下篇章猜测到它应该是表示火烧着了的声音意思,而提前学习之后,他可以更具体的理解为火嘶嘶响的声音。关于地道表达法,我们都知道在表达的时候,中国人说英语和美国人说英语差异很大,一个很重要的原因就是他们说的比我们更加地道,如打招呼时你问一句How have you been doing? 中国人可能会答Fine, thank you, and you?而美国人可能就两个词Same old(和以前一样).这就是地道,没的说。所以在电影学习中,我们一定要有这种捕捉好词好句的能力,像我在花木兰中,就给学生们找出了诸如strike a match, make a fool out of me, get the drift, the fate of the Fa family lies in your paws, sign in, heed my word等等近50多个好的表达法,再加上一些好的词汇,和经典句型,一部经典的迪斯尼卡通片就成了我们很好的学习教材。再者,就是学习语言背后深层的东西?右脑王英语学习机有用吗?文化。可能很多同学在经历了前两个步骤之后,就觉得已经学习到了很多的东西,就不再细细研究看过的影片了,可是他们却忽视了最需要学习的东西,那就是时时刻刻反映语言的社会文化。通过对电影内容的学习,情节和故事的了解,我们还可以挖掘出其所反映的社会习俗,交际方式,政治体制,法律制度,宗教,信仰,艺术,甚至更多。看一些美国大片,我们往往能发现,在这样一个开放的国家里,美国青年往往都具有一些共同的特质,那就是自信,独断,好交际,独立等等,这是与其美国社会根深蒂固的美国传统价值观密切不可分的,那就是individual freedom, immolation-reliance, equality of opportunities, competition, material wealth and hard work.所以,在观看电影的同时,也需要我们不断的去思考,去问问题,考虑一些中西方文化的差异,对比一些社会风俗的不同了,这都会帮助你更好的理解影片,学好语言的。当然,在电影欣赏的课堂里,新东方的老师也会讲解更多点滴的文化背景知识,帮助大家的。欣赏一部经典的影片,我觉得,不下5遍是不能学到其精华的,有些电影更需要细心品位,就《花木兰》来说,我在课堂上讲授过3次,但之前我已看过不下10遍,每看一遍我都能挖掘出新的感受,所以,我建议学员们在学习电影的时候,最好经过“泛听看内容和情节(1-2遍),精听看台词学道白(2-3 遍,需要播放与暂停不断切换),模仿演员发音及对话,重复操练并加以应用(1-2遍),回顾性欣赏(1-2遍,复习所学内容)”这样的顺序。当然,对于精听,这是一个比较耗时耗力的过程,通常来说,一个半小时的影片要是全部精听一遍至少3-4个小时或更多,因为片子中会碰到很多的生词和用法,需要查字典和工具书掌握其含义,但我希望大家能坚持做下来,真正当你认认真真研究了一部影片之后,你才会发现语言竟然有如此大的魅力,学习的英语的兴趣也由然而生。最后,我想简单提一点,以上是针对播放DVD影碟的建议,其画面、音质等的优点我不必列举,但DVD独有的显示各种语言的字幕的效果VCD所不可比拟的,所以,如果有条件的话,可以购买一些正版DVD影碟学习电影,是会帮助你减少很多不必要的麻烦的。最后祝大家在电影英语中学到知识,找到乐趣http://!开学典礼 女士们先生们,在这个世界上,如果不能每天拿出一个固定的时间段,不能持之以恒进行学习,那么,学习任何技艺都是空谈。其实,对于英语来说,无论什么样的方法,只要能够让你每天坐下来,持之以恒地学习一个小时,那么就一定是个好方法。在开学之际,关于兴趣与方法,我再啰嗦几句。我们这种方法,看似难以坚持,但实际上不是这么回事。有一位在两年前看了帖子,并已经用这种方法学习了两年的家长说的好:“自己每天坚持下来也许不轻易,但是因为有孩子的因素,所以自然而然也就坚持下来了。”当问及,“您让孩子反复跟读同一段内容,孩子愿意吗?”他回答说:“只要你自己态度比较坚持,孩子也很容易服从听话。” 无论是学习《睡美人》还是学习《迪斯尼神奇英语》,我们要求一个星期内跟读相同一个片段的内容(对迪斯尼是一课内容)。从学习过程来说,第一天最困难,第二天比第一天好一些,然后是一天比一天轻松。所以,这个学习过程,本身并不是那么痛苦,只要大家一学起来,一学进去,就知道了。好吧,从现在开始,大家就开始学吧。迪斯尼第一课的内容非常简单,只要大人示范跟读,最好是布满激情,带动孩子每天从头看到尾就好了。这个星期,就看第一课内容。除晚上固定一小时,早晨起来和吃晚饭及睡前时间,都可以给孩子放这一课的内容。迪斯尼的字幕是大写英语。很多家长对此有疑问,因为我们平时习惯的都是小写。其实,我们平时的习惯,不代表英国人美国人的习惯。英美小孩子一开始接触的都是大写。比如看动漫,全都是大写。大写是孩子们迟早要过的一关,能够顺其自然地从一开始学习就适应大写,其实是最难得的了。以后学电影的时候,字幕都是小写。所以不必担心,孩子因为适应了大写,就适应不了小写了。《睡美人》大家先学习5分钟的内容。歌曲也要跟唱,除了第一句节奏比较难“bringing all good wishes and all….”可以放弃跟唱。学习《睡美人》的时候,5分钟的内容,大家先学一个星期,看看效果。不行就再学一个星期。好的开始,是成功的一半。第一个5分钟学进去了,学扎实了,对以后会帮助很大。学习《睡美人》,大家一定要把剧本打印下来,然后把前十分钟内容中不认识的单词查一下,连同音标标注在上面。我已经让人去弄单词表了。今天或者明天,贴出来。如果我有时间,把第一段内容给翻译出来,贴出来。我相信,在咱们群里,有些妈妈文字翻译能力很强,我希望这些妈妈能够替我分担翻译方面的工作。我希望,我只把翻译的工作集中在难点方面,会省很多时间。大家学习《睡美人》,有能力的人可以直接将5分钟内容反复跟读。而且,凡是具有这样能力的人,应该先学十分钟。对于大多数无法直接跟读下来的妈妈和孩子。一定要利用暂停键,一句一句分解跟读。甚至是半句半句,分解跟读。当一句话放完,暂停之后,大人可以先跟读一遍,然后让孩子随着大人的口音跟读三遍。不错,大人的口音可能不准,这没关系,先让孩子跟着大人把句子顺下来。等孩子把句子顺下来了,能够一句一句直接跟随电影跟读了,孩子的口音自然会逐步校正的。因为一开始,即使利用暂停键,让孩子直接跟随电影读一句话,或半句话,甚至一个单词,都十分困难。但是,大人往往能够做到。对于绕口的单词,可以让孩子单独多念几遍。这个时候,直接从电影里获取这个单词的读音往往有些困难,可以利用有声的字典,比如电脑里的金山词霸。让孩子跟随练习。把相关单词先读顺了,才能跟读句子。跟读过程中,最需要注意的是连读问题。大人一定要懂连读原理。不懂连读原理的家长,一定要去补补课,可以看看相关文章,也可以去参加一个语音教程。所以整个学习过程,说起来也很简单,打开电视机,可以从第一句开始,放一句暂停一句。能跟下来的,就多读两遍,不能跟下来的,就把其中绕口的单词让孩子单独练习几遍。然后再倒回去,继续练习那句没有跟读下来的句子。直至跟读下来,多读几遍,再放到下一句。需要注意的时候,大家开始学电影,不必追求完美。能从节奏上基本跟读下来就好。语音部分,将来慢慢解决。我们做任何事情,都有一个二八原则。学电影也不例外。能够做到80%的理解,80%的跟读,80%的熟练程度,就可以放过这一段了,学习下一段内容。再次强调一下,语音,节奏感,一切一切都不是一日之功。大家在开始的时候,可以尽力模仿,但不要求一步到位。好了,预祝大家学习愉快,有什么问题,让治理员在群论坛里开一个学习版,然后倒学习版里面去提问吧!关于睡美人的学习进度问题 《睡美人》我们总的学习进度是三个月。第一个星期,我们学习前5分钟,第二个星期,我们依然学习前5分钟。一些学有余力的,也不用太着急往前学。好的开始是成功的一半。如果大家在第一个星期内,依靠一句一句地暂停,能够基本跟读下来了,那么在第二个星期,就利用AB键,将这5分钟内容,反复播放跟读,去感受英语的优美,节奏和语感吧!相信我,这5分钟学完两个星期,你就会爱上这门语言的。对于学有余力的人,也就是说英语基础很好的人。请相信我,开始把进度放慢一点,对你一点也不吃亏。从第三个星期开始,我们每星期学十分钟的内容。无论是基础好的,还是基础差的,建议都按照这个进度学。学电影,对于基础好的来说,学慢点比学快点收获大。因为只有反复跟读比较熟悉的内容,语感的收获才大。对于基础差的,学快点比学慢点收获大。所有你不能在本电影掌握的内容,在今后的电影里都会反复遇到。建议基础差的,多学多听,不局限于每天一个小时。或者在周末自己加课跟读练习。我们的学习群很快将成立技术组,技术组的同志们会教大家如何把材料转换成MP3之类的格式,这样大家可以利用走路时间,乘车时间,反复听材料。学英语,还有这样的一个规律,我没跟大家交待。如果你每天学十分钟,收获是1 如果学半小时,那么收获不是3 而是5 如果学一小时,收获不是10 而是20 如果能够学两小时,那么收获不是40 可能是60 如果能学三小时,那么收获不是120,而是200 就是说,一次集中学习的时间越长,收获越大,呈几何增长。这种方法的最大优点或最大特点是,每多学一分钟,就能感觉到那多一分钟的收获。不过,这规律主要是对大人《学睡美人》说的,对孩子,你只要对懂事的孩子说明这个道理就好了。具体还是要求她每天至少一个小时吧。

第三篇:看电影学英语
看电影学英语
初级水平:《老友记》,从发音到对话,从常用词汇积累到了解老美的思维方式,只要你肯抽时间看上个十几二十遍,你会发现自己的英文水平会有非常大的提升。
中级水平:《绝望主妇》,用词和语言非常标准,想对于《老友记》增加了更多的英文长句,很适合进一步提升英语水平。
高级水平:《白宫风云》,对于积累高级词汇会有很大帮助
如果你在利用美剧学习的时候很依赖字幕,那么你的英语水平就很难提高了。比较靠谱的做法是:找到一部适合自己的美剧,看一遍带中文字幕的了解剧情,然后再看几遍带双语字幕的,把生词和句型记下来进行学习。掌握生词和句子后,不带任何字幕再看几遍,你会发现自己已经开始听懂对白,了解主人公的想法和思维模式了,这时候乘胜追击再多听几遍,进行跟读和模仿,如果你发现做这一切的时候对你不再困难,那么恭喜你,你的英语已经更上一层了。
要边看边记笔记:在学习时首先注意发音。其次,了解文化,用词和句式使用是否准确直接体现对异国文化了解的程度。还要准备好笔和纸,做好随时停顿和记录的准备。不过,记录的时候最好不要分析思考和尝试记忆,待整个章节观看完毕之后,在统一回顾和整理。
推荐:《狮子王》《玩具总动员》《飞屋环游记》《他不是那么喜欢你》《风月俏佳人》《我最好朋友的婚礼》《假结婚》《辛普森一家》《欲望都市》《丑女贝蒂》《实习医生格蕾》《吉尔莫女孩》
不推荐:《24小时》《英雄》《越狱》《豪格医生》----专业术语太多
《黑客帝国》《星球大战》-----太复杂太深奥
推荐英文情歌:《Yesterday once more》《Sorry seems to be hardest word》----有助于培养兴趣和语感
准备电影笔记薄
到google上使用电影的英文名字+空格+script进行搜索,就可以找到该剧本的下载。
《老友记》人物分析:
RACH:最喜欢的角色,她的口音不很好学,因为她经常会发出很可爱的声音,感情丰富啊,而且连音也比较多,但是学她很有用,因为她的发音很性感,个人认为。
CHANDLER:这个家伙经常会把我逼疯的,他太贫了,语速又快,最难学了
PHEEBS:最好学的,很喜欢她,她的发音很圆润,语速也很正常
MONIKA:可以用她来练长句子,她经常会一口气说很多
JOEY:他反应慢,语速适中应该是最好学的一个,可是他的声音太低了,不适合女生学,我学他太吃力了,男生的话是个首选
第四篇:看电影学英语《傲慢与偏见》
看电影学英语:《傲慢与偏见》[1]
影片对白
Mrs.Bennet: How well you dance, Mr.Bingley.My daughter Jane is a splendid dancer, is she not? Bingley: She is indeed.(to Elizabeth)Your friend Miss Lucas is a most amusing young woman.Elizabeth: Oh, yes, I adore her.Mrs.Bennet: It is a pity she's not more handsome.Elizabeth: Mama!
Mrs.Bennet: Oh, but Lizzie would never admit that she's plain.Of course it's my Jane who's considered the beauty of the county.Elizabeth & Jane: No, Mama, please!
Mrs.Bennet: When she was 15, a gentleman was so much in love with her, that I was sure he would make her an offer.However, he did write her some very pretty verses.Elizabeth: And that put paid to it.I wonder who discovered the power of poetry in driving away love.Darcy: I thought poetry was the food of love.Elizabeth: Of a fine, stout love, it may.But if it is only a vague inclination one poor sonnet will kill it.Darcy: So what do you recommend to encourage affection? Elizabeth: Dancing.Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.Jane: Mr Bingley is just what a young man ought to be.Sensible, good-humoured...Elizabeth: Handsome, conveniently rich...Jane: You know perfectly well I do not believe marriage should be driven by thoughts of money.Elizabeth: I agree entirely.Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why I'll end up an old maid.Jane: Do you really believe he liked me, Lizzie?
Elizabeth: Jane, he danced with you most of the night, and stared at you for the rest of it.But I give you leave to like him.You've liked many a stupider person.You're a great deal too apt to like people in general, you know.All the world is good and agreeable in your eyes.Jane: Not his friend.I still can't believe what he said about you.Elizabeth: Mr.Darcy? I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine.But no matter, I doubt we shall ever speak again.妙词佳句,活学活用
1.adore
Adore 有好几种意思,我们一起来看一下:
A.If you adore someone, you feel great love and admiration for him or her.敬爱,敬重;爱慕
e.g.She adored her parents and would do anything to please them.B.If you adore something, you like it very much.非常喜欢,痴迷 e.g.I adore apple very much and eat two a day.2.make an offer
这是口语中很常用的词组,其意义取决于作为名词的offer一词的不同含义,如在电影《情归巴黎》中有一句台词是:
You never said a word about planning to make an offer to Patrick.(关于你要跟Patrick合并的事情你一个字都没提过。)
这里的翻译是意译,我们可以看出来make an offer是“出价”的意思。
而在本电影的台词里,这个make an offer的意思显然不同,应该是“求婚”的意思。offer一词本身就有“求婚”的意思,所以“向某人求婚”我们可以说propose to sb.或者make an offer to sb.3.put paid to 结束……,了结……(口语)
这是一个挺有意思的短语,If an unexpected event puts paid to someone's hopes, chances, or plans, it completely ends or destroys them.主要在说英式英语的国家中使用。
The series of terrible blind dates put paid to her dream of an ideal marriage.一系列可怕的相亲断送了她对理想婚姻的梦想。
4.end up/end up with 以……结束,以……告终
If you end up doing something or end up in a particular state, you do that thing or get into that state even though you did not originally intend to.e.g.Every time they went dancing they ended up in a bad mood.他们每次出去跳舞都不欢而散。
She could have ended up a millionairess.她本来可以成为一个百万富翁的。考考你 他非常喜欢看电影。他向那个漂亮女孩求了婚,但是被拒绝了。3 雨水让我们的野餐计划泡汤了。如果你不知道自己想要什么,结果往往是你会得到一些你不想要的东西。
Pride & Prejudice 《傲慢与偏见》(精讲之一)考考你 参考答案 1.他非常喜欢看电影。He adores the cinema.2.他向那个漂亮女孩求了婚,但是被拒绝了。
He made an offer to that handsome girl but was rejected.3.雨水让我们的野餐计划泡汤了。The rain put paid to our picnic plan.4.如果你不知道自己想要什么,结果往往是你会得到一些你不想要的东西。If you don't know what you want, you might end up getting something you don't want.看电影学英语:Pride&rejudice《傲慢与偏见》[2]
影片对白
Caroline: You write uncommonly fast, Mr.Darcy.Darcy: You're mistaken.I write rather slowly.Caroline: How many letters you must have occasion to write, Mr.Darcy.Letters of business, too.How odious I should think them.Darcy: It is fortunate, then, they fall to my lot instead of yours.Caroline: Do tell your sister that I long to see her.Darcy: I've already told her once, by your desire.Caroline: I do dote on her.I was quite in raptures at her beautiful little design for a table.Darcy: Perhaps you will give me leave to defer your raptures till I write again.At present I have not room enough to do them justice.Bingley: Well I think it's amazing that you young ladies have the patience to be so accomplished.Caroline: What do you mean, Charles?
Bingley: You all paint tables and play the piano and embroider cushions.I never heard of a young lady, but people say she's accomplished.Darcy: The word is indeed applied too liberally.I cannot boast of knowing more than half a dozen women in all my acquaintance that are truly accomplished.Caroline: Nor I, to be sure.Elizabeth: Goodness, you must comprehend a great deal in the idea.Darcy: I do.Caroline: Absolutely.She must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing and the modern languages to deserve the word.And something in her air and manner of walking.Darcy: And, of course she must improve her mind by extensive reading.Elizabeth: I'm no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women.I rather wonder now at your knowing any.Darcy: Are you so severe on your own sex?
Elizabeth: I never saw such a woman.She would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.Caroline: Miss Elizabeth, let us take a turn about the room.It's refreshing, is it not, after sitting so long in one attitude?
Elizabeth: It is a small kind of accomplishment, I suppose.Caroline: Will you not join us, Mr.Darcy?
Darcy: You can only have two motives, Caroline, and I would interfere with either.Caroline: What can he mean?
Elizabeth: The surest way of disappointing him will be to ask him nothing about it.Caroline: But do tell us, Mr.Darcy.Darcy: Either you are in each other's confidence and you have secret affairs to discuss, or you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage by walking.If the first, I should get in your way.If the second, I can admire you much better from here.Caroline: Shocking.How shall we punish him for such a speech? Elizabeth: We could always laugh at him.Caroline: Oh no.Mr.Darcy is not to be teased.Elizabeth: Are you too proud, Mr.Darcy? And would you consider pride a fault or a virtue?
Darcy: That I couldn't say.Elizabeth: Because we're doing our best to find a fault in you.Darcy: Maybe it's that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offences against me.My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.Elizabeth: Oh, dear.I cannot tease you about that.What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.Caroline: A family trait, I think.妙词佳句,活学活用
1.it falls to sb.'s lot to do sth./ the lot falls to sb.to do sth./ it falls to sb.as sb.'s lot to do sth.是“某人命中注定要做某事;某人有责任做某事”的意思。
e.g.It falls to my lot to join the army.参军是我有责任要做的事。
It falls to the young girl's lot to marry this old man.嫁给这个老头是这个女孩命里注定的。
2.dote on If you say you dote on a person or a thing, it means you love or care about them very much and ignore any faults they may have.中文里就是“宠爱,溺爱;过分喜爱”。比如“她溺爱她的儿子”就可以说成 She dotes on her youngest son.3.accomplished 多才多艺的;熟练的;完成的
说到“多才多艺”,大家马上想到词的可能是 versatile,accomplished 这个词比 versatile 还要高一个等级,差不多到了专家的程度,而 versatile 多用来指“能胜任„„”。例如:
an accomplished lady 一个才女 an accomplished pianist 有造诣的钢琴家 an accomplished facts 不容争辩的事实 4.get/stand in one's way / be in the way
这是口语里特别常用的词组,意思是“挡路,妨碍”。我们来看两个例子: e.g.1)Keep on going with your reading.Don't let me stand in your way.2)You're in the way, would you please move aside? 文化面面观
Austen, Jane(1775-1817), English novelist, noted for her witty studies of early-19th-century English society.With meticulous detail, Austen portrayed the quiet, day-to-day life of members of the upper middle class.Her works combine romantic comedy with social satire and psychological insight.她的代表作品包括《傲慢与偏见》,《理智与情感》,及《爱玛》。
小说《傲慢与偏见》开篇的一段话可称为经典,在当今社会也是有一定道理的: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feelings and views of such a man maybe on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.凡是有钱的单身汉,总想娶位太太,这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。这样的单身汉,每逢新搬到一个地方,四邻八舍虽然完全不了解他的性情如何,见解如何,可是,既然这样的一条真理早已在人们心目中根深蒂固,因此人们总是把他看作自己某一个女儿理所应得的一笔财产。考考你

影片对白
Elizabeth: I love this dance.Darcy: lndeed.Most invigorating.Elizabeth: It is your turn to say something, Mr.Darcy.I talked about the dance.Now you ought to remark on the size of the room or the number of couples.Darcy: I'm perfectly happy to oblige.Please advise me of what you would like most to hear?
Elizabeth: That reply will do for present.Perhaps by and by I may observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones.For now, we may remain silent.Darcy: Do you talk as a rule while dancing?
Elizabeth: No.No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn.Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you think?
Darcy: Tell me, do you and your sisters very often walk to Meryton?
Elizabeth: Yes, we often walk to Meryton.It's a great opportunity to meet new people.In fact when you met us, we'd just had the pleasure of forming a new acquaintance.Darcy: Mr.Wickham's blessed with such happy manners, he's sure of making friends.Whether he's capable of retaining them is less certain.Elizabeth: He's been so unfortunate as to lose your friendship.And I dare say that is an irreversible event?
Darcy: It is.Why do you ask such a question? Elizabeth: To make out your character, Mr.Darcy.Darcy: And what have you discovered?
Elizabeth: Very little.I hear such different accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly.Darcy: I hope to afford you more clarity in the future.妙词佳句,活学活用

影片对白
Collins: Dear Miss Elizabeth, I am sure my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken.Almost as soon as I entered the house, I singled you out as the companion of my future life.But before I am run away with my feelings, perhaps I may state my reasons for marrying.Firstly, that it is the duty of a clergyman to set the example of matrimony in his parish.Secondly, that I am convinced it will add greatly to my happiness.And thirdly, that it is at the urging of my esteemed patroness, Lady Catherine, that I select a wife.My object in coming to Longbourn was to choose such a one from among Mr.Bennet's daughters, for I am to inherit the estate and such an alliance will surely…suit everyone.And now nothing remains but for me to assure you in the most animated language of the violence of my affections.Elizabeth: Mr.Collins!
Collins: And that no reproach on the subject of fortune will cross my lips once we're married.Elizabeth: You're too hasty, sir.You forget that I have given no answer.Collins: I must add that Lady Catherine will thoroughly approve when I speak to her of your modesty, economy and other amiable qualities
Elizabeth: Sir, I am honored by your proposal, but I regret that I must decline it.Collins: I know ladies don't seek to seem too eager...Elizabeth: Mr.Collins, I am perfectly serious.You could not make me happy.And I'm convinced I'm the last woman in the world who could make you happy.Collins: I flatter myself, cousin, that your refusal is merely a natural delicacy.Besides, you should take into account that despite the manifold attractions, it is by no means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made to you...Elizabeth: Mr.Collins!
Collins:...I must conclude that you simply seek to increase my love by suspense...Elizabeth: Sir!
Collins:...according to the usual practice of elegant females.Elizabeth: Sir, I am not the sort of female to torment a respectable man.Please understand me, I cannot accept you.妙词佳句,活学活用
1.single out
If you single sb.out from a group, you choose them and give them special attention or treatment.挑选
e.g.Mr.Collins singled out Jane first as his future wife at first, but then he switched to Elizabeth.He was singled out by his teacher to take part in the competition.2.hasty 匆忙的,草率的
e.g.They shouldn't have made such a hasty decision.另外在汉语中我们的一句成语“欲速则不达”跟hasty的同根词haste有关,英语中有两种表达:
Haste makes waste More haste, less speed.大家不妨在这里牢记住这个表达。
3.I'm the last woman in the world who could make you happy.这种句型的基本结构是“the last+名词+定语从句”,表达最大程度的否定或者不赞成。本句话的意思是:我是这个世界上最不可能带给你幸福的女人。
e.g.To be a teacher is the last thing in the world that I could do.我最不愿意干的事就是当老师。
This city is the last place that I want to live in the world.我最不愿意生活的地方就是这个城市。
4.flatter oneself that
If you flatter yourself that something good is the case, you believe that it is true, although others may disagree.自鸣得意,自以为
e.g.They flattered themselves that they would win.他们自以为会一定获胜。
Flatter一词还有一些其它用法:
If someone flatters you, they praise you in an exaggerated way that is not sincere, because they want to please you or to persuade you to do something.奉承,谄媚
e.g.I knew she was just flattering me, because she wanted me to buy her scarf.此外flattering和flattered在口语中的出现频率也很高,flattering继承了flatter的意思,作为形容词的时候有“谄媚的,讨好的”意思,但是也有“讨人喜欢的”意思,如: How flattering your company is since so many other companies are after you.你看你们公司多招人喜欢,那么多其他公司都跟在你们屁股后面转。但是flattered的意思有所不同,If you feel flattered by something that has happened, you are pleased about it because it makes you feel important or special.表示“受宠若惊”的意思 e.g.I feel flattered by what you said.你的话让我受宠若惊。

Darcy: Miss Elizabeth.I have struggled in vain and can bear it no longer.These past months have been a torment.I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you.I had to see you.I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectation, the inferiority of your birth, my rank, all these things, and I'm willing to put them aside and ask you to end my agony.Elizabeth: I don't understand.Darcy: I love you.Most ardently.Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.Elizabeth: Sir, I appreciate the struggle you have been through, and I am very sorry to have caused you pain.Believe me, it was unconsciously done.Darcy: Is this your reply? Elizabeth: Yes, sir.Darcy: Are you...are you laughing at me? Elizabeth: No.Darcy: Are you rejecting me?
Elizabeth: I'm sure the feelings which, as you've told me have hindered your regard will help you in overcoming it.Darcy: Might I ask why with so little endeavor at civility I am thus repulsed? Elizabeth: And I might as well enquire with so evident a design of insulting me you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment? Darcy: No, believe me...Elizabeth: If I was uncivil, then that is some excuse!But I have other reasons.You know I have.Darcy: What reasons?
Elizabeth: Do you think anything might tempt me to accept the man who has ruined perhaps forever the happiness of a most beloved sister? Do you deny it Mr.Darcy, that you separated a young couple who loved each other, exposing your friend to center of the world for caprice and my sister to its derision for disappointed hopes and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind? Darcy: I do not deny it.Elizabeth: How could you do it?
Darcy: Because I believed your sister's indifferent to him.Elizabeth: Indifferent?
Darcy: I watched them most carefully and realized his attachment was deeper than hers.Elizabeth: That's because she's shy!
Darcy: Bingley, too, is modest and was persuaded she didn't feel strongly for him.Elizabeth: Because you suggested it.Darcy: I did it for his own good.Elizabeth: My sister hardly shows her true feelings to me.I suppose you suspect that his fortune had some bearing?
Darcy: No!I wouldn't do your sister the dishonor, though it was suggested...Elizabeth: What was?
Darcy: It was made perfectly clear that an advantageous marriage...Elizabeth: Did my sister give that impression?
Darcy: No!No.No.There was, however, I have to admit, the matter of your family...Elizabeth: Our want of connection? Mr.Bingley didn't seem to vex himself about that.Darcy: No, it was more than that.Elizabeth: How, sir?
Darcy: It was the lack of propriety shown by your mother, your three younger sisters and even, on occasion, your father.Forgive me.You and your sister I must exclude from this.Elizabeth: And what about Mr.Wickham? Darcy: Mr.Wickham?
Elizabeth: What excuse can you give for your behavior towards him? Darcy: You take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns.Elizabeth: He told me of his misfortunes.Darcy: Oh, yes, his misfortunes have been very great indeed.Elizabeth: You ruin his chances and yet you treat him with sarcasm.Darcy: So this is your opinion of me? Thank you for explaining so fully.Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honesty...Elizabeth: My pride?
Darcy:...in admitting scruples about our relationship.Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your circumstances?
Elizabeth: And those are the words of a gentleman.From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.Darcy: Forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time.妙词佳句,活学活用

第五篇:看英文电影学英语
看英文电影学英语
怎样提高听力,怎样扩大词汇量,怎样不断地培养、保持及增强对英语的兴趣?在你的词汇量达到一定的程度并且词汇的发音较标准的前提下,建议从看肥皂剧和欧美电影开始训练听力。因为英文电影语言生动有趣接近生活,有视觉背景,有故事背景,可令你在非常放松的环境下学习英语,同时体验西方文化与中国文化的不同。
相信你以前也考虑到这条途径但是不得其法。你的词汇量很大但是可能不懂得用法,担心看电影会有不认识的词汇就打开英文字幕,结果看电影变成了阅读,后来觉得看英文字幕总有不认识的词汇很不爽,就改成了中文字幕。结果电影看了N部结果就学会了shit,fuck......这样几个单词.那么该如何看英文电影才能得法地既欣赏了电影本身又不知不觉地提高了英语呢? 1.首先,在看英文版的电影之前,先说一下版本的问题。
请不要看VCD版,以及RM,RMVB,ASF等等版本。因为这些版本的字幕是去不掉的,而且往往是中文字幕。而我们要看的是可以隐藏字幕的版本。这样的话目前只有两种版本是可以选择的,DVD版本和DVDRip标准压缩格式的或DIVX-XVID系列兼容的AVI版本。我之所以推荐使用这些版本,因为这类文件的字幕是外挂的,可以通过播放软件选择语种,也可以屏蔽字幕,可以方便的实现某一片断反复播放,而且如果在网上DOWN到的版本不理想,可以再重新DOWN。如果字幕的版本不理想,可以到http://.cn射手网搜索下载,是全免费的。
2.下面来说看什么电影的问题。
首先要明确什么类型的电影会提高你的英语,绝对不是枪战片,恐怖片,悲剧片。看枪战片1个半小时听不见几句话,还学什么英语。看恐怖片吓都吓死了,还学什么英语。看悲剧只顾着哭去了,心情不爽还学什么英语。这些片子不是说不让你看,而是不推荐你用来学英语。还有,比较古老的片子不推荐使用,像“魂断兰桥”,“飘”,“音乐之声”,这些片子里面的语言现在已经不太常用了。要学英语就要看近期的电影,因为里面有经常要用,必须要用的语言。在选片时要从看电影学英语的八大原则来选片。
1.简单的原则。不要一上来就选择内容高深莫测的电影。
2.背诵的原则。对于电影对白中的精彩片段最好背诵下来。
3.重复的原则。一部电影要反复地观看多遍,直到不用字幕也可以完全看懂听懂的地步。
4.精范结合的原则。拿出几个电影仔细地分析学习。同时也可以泛看一些你喜欢的电影。
5.模仿的原则。对于经典的电影,要模仿其中的各种角色的对白。
6.突击的原则。尽量在短时间内突破,不讨拖延太长的时间。
7.根据发音标准的演员选择电影。以便于你模仿出漂亮的语音。
所以你应该知道了,学英语的片子应该是生活片,里面有大量的对白,应该选喜剧片,保证你学习的愉快心情。
在众多的电影里面,哪些电影符合这些要求呢?下面是新东方讲座里面推荐的电影,你未必要全看完,只需要挑选3-4部精看就可以了,因为有些电影你可能一时找不到DVD或者DVDRip的版本。
发音超级标准,语汇简单,句型经典,特别是省略句式非常好的两部电影:
标准女音电影 Sabrina情归巴黎
标准男音电影 Dove真假总统
女演员中,发音比较好的著名女演员有
1.Mag Rain
2.Julia Roberts
3.Camern Diaz
关于发音比较好的女演员的电影,推荐:
When harry meet salay 当哈里遇见莎莉
Pretty woman 漂亮女人
My best friend wedding 我最好朋友的婚礼
Erin Brockovich 永不妥协
There's Something About Mary 我为玛丽狂
Vanilla sky 香草的天空
Sleepless in Seattle 缘份的天空 西雅图不眠夜
You‘ve got mail 电子情书
男演员中,发音比较好的有:
1。汤姆.汉克斯
2。达斯汀.霍夫曼
关于发音比较好的男演员的电影,推荐:
Philadelphia 费城故事(1993版)
The Graduate 毕业生
Rain Man 雨人
Kramer Vs Kramer 克莱默夫妇
The Shawshank Redemption 肖申克的救赎 刺激1995
Legends Of The Fall 燃情岁月
Jerry Maguire 甜心先生 征服情海
另外,Forrest Gump《阿甘正传》虽然发音不值得模仿,但是值得推荐观看学习,因为里面太多的经典和哲理。还有Gladiator《角斗士》这部电影使用的词汇全在新概念3册以内,也是一个比较有趣的推荐,是检验你新概念1-3册词汇掌握情况的一部电影。另外,Lion King《狮子王》也是非常推荐的,因为动画片是给孩子看的,所以里面的词汇比较简单,句子经典通俗易懂,而且还包含很深的人生哲理。
当然并不是说上面没有推荐的电影就不值得观看,只要是你喜欢的英文电影,都可以观看,只要你用心,总会从中学到很多东西的。
3.怎样看才能有效地学习英语的问题
关于通过看电影学英语的方法,新东方的俞敏洪,杜伟老师建议:
1)先看2-3遍没有字幕的.2)再看一遍有字幕的。
3)如果还搞不定,下载该电影的剧本,把剧本过一遍,先把剧本搞定(这已经是阅读问题了).4)这时再看一遍有英文字幕的,保证看着字幕理解是没有问题的。
5)然后再看没有字幕的,这样下来如果完全能听懂的话,听力是没有问题了。6)最后一项是边看边跟读,模仿各种人物的每一句话,就像你是个配音演员,要做
到惟妙惟肖。
对于要精看的电影,一定要有电影的script,这样才能学习到更多的东西。你可以到http://使用电影的英文名字+空格+script进行搜索,就可以找到该剧本的下载。需要注意的是,一开始你看英文字幕总有想要知道确切中文意思的愿望,就是有英文->中文->意思,才能理解,我希望在这个过程中把你训练成英文->意思,直接的转换。这样才有助于你形成美语的思维和思考问题的方式。4.看电影学英语的效果如何
选好片子以后,可以重复地看一部片子,也可以同时重复的看几部,这样不会看腻。如果能将三部片子看透,模仿语音语调正确并能背诵,一般英语口语即可过关。用以上的方法可能6-8个月360个小时就能听说全解决。甚至可以达到老师的水平。在看电影的同时,一定要注意的是文化和思维的差异,以及价值观和生活习惯的不同。
对电影的观看,精选的要重复的看,新东方的老师Forrest Gump看几百遍以上,实际上我们学习不用这么夸张,如果有三部电影的台词别人说出上句,你能说出下句的话。你的口语一定一级棒,而且非常地道。
