第一篇:對(duì)李陽(yáng)瘋狂英語(yǔ)“三最法”的解釋
對(duì)李陽(yáng)瘋狂英語(yǔ)“三最法”的解釋
在李陽(yáng)老師演講現(xiàn)場(chǎng),常能遇到這樣的問(wèn)題:“平常我也背了,也喊了,但是為什么還是不能開(kāi)口講英文?”還有人干脆說(shuō):“三最法不科學(xué),最清晰了,怎么還能最快速?最快速了,怎么還能最大聲?這不是互相矛盾的嗎?”等等等等,不一而足。
其實(shí),“最清晰、最快速、最大聲”的本意,不是要學(xué)習(xí)者同時(shí)進(jìn)行的學(xué)習(xí)方法,它指的是學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中三個(gè)不同的階段,各有側(cè)重點(diǎn):
“最清晰”,指的是你的發(fā)音。李陽(yáng)老師早就說(shuō)過(guò),“學(xué)習(xí)一門外語(yǔ),必須掌握100%的發(fā)音,5%的詞匯,1%的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)?!薄白钋逦币竽愕陌l(fā)音必須完全到位。對(duì)于學(xué)一門陌生的語(yǔ)言,怎么強(qiáng)調(diào)發(fā)音的重要性都不算過(guò)分!
“最快速”,是學(xué)習(xí)的第二階段。當(dāng)你的發(fā)音
全部掌握以后,就進(jìn)入了詞匯量、句子量、篇章量的階段?!白羁焖佟钡那疤釛l件,是把你所學(xué)的句子、篇章全部弄懂、弄通、念熟,然后才能進(jìn)入“最快速”的階段,需要你在盡量短的時(shí)間內(nèi),說(shuō)盡量多的句子、文章,就是著眼于句子、文章熟練程度的進(jìn)一步提升,跟“一口氣”有著同樣的功能。
“最大聲”則強(qiáng)調(diào)的是對(duì)句子、文章的脫口而出的階段。它的前提條件,是對(duì)所學(xué)句子、文章的的熟練已經(jīng)達(dá)到了一定的程度,最好是已經(jīng)全部念熟了、背會(huì)了,在這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行“最大聲”的操練,相信能夠事半功倍?!白畲舐暋钡目茖W(xué)原理,就是一種“暴力刺激法”,通過(guò)“大喊”的強(qiáng)刺激,強(qiáng)行鍛造口腔肌肉,使所背的句子、篇章牢牢地扎根于你的頭腦之中,從而成為自己的終身語(yǔ)言。“最大聲”是三最法的核心,是李陽(yáng)老師對(duì)中國(guó)外語(yǔ)教學(xué)的特殊貢獻(xiàn)。心理學(xué)上有個(gè)名詞,叫“技能的自動(dòng)化”,在語(yǔ)言的學(xué)習(xí)上,指 的就是通過(guò)“最大聲”來(lái)達(dá)到的一種客觀效果。就像汽車司機(jī)對(duì)他腳下的油門、剎車、離合器的使用一樣,已經(jīng)達(dá)到了一種不用頭腦思考的下意識(shí)狀態(tài)。就像我們說(shuō)中文,很多情況下都是不用通過(guò)頭腦思考而直接說(shuō)出話來(lái)的。如果汽車司機(jī)碰到緊急情況,才和大腦商量該不該踩剎車,那肯定是不行的!沒(méi)有了“最大聲”的快速突破,你的外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)將會(huì)陷入苦海無(wú)邊的漫漫長(zhǎng)夜!
通過(guò)上面三步驟的學(xué)習(xí),遇到實(shí)戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候,你就能達(dá)到李陽(yáng)老師常說(shuō)的“最清晰變成了模模糊糊的英文,最快速變成了優(yōu)雅的語(yǔ)速,最大聲變成了正常的音量”的英文最高境界!李陽(yáng)老師的“英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)十步驟”,就是對(duì)“三最”另一個(gè)版本的科學(xué)解釋。
佛教界有一句話,叫做“口念彌陀心不善,扯破喉嚨亦枉然”。意思是,盡管你整天“阿彌陀佛”不離口,但你不修身、不養(yǎng)性,一心琢磨干
壞事,不管你喊多少遍 “阿彌陀佛”,神佛也永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)保佑你。在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中,有的人學(xué)了、念了、背了,也喊了,但就是開(kāi)不了口,原因就在于沒(méi)有進(jìn)行徹底的“最大聲”的訓(xùn)練,缺少了“最大聲”的這臨門一腳,合上書(shū)以后,所學(xué)、所背的東西全部還給了書(shū)本;而有的人在沒(méi)有徹底的進(jìn)行“最清晰、最快速”的訓(xùn)練,直接進(jìn)入大喊的階段,丟掉了很多中間環(huán)節(jié),當(dāng)然也不會(huì)有好的效果。
當(dāng)然,“最大聲”還有很多附帶出來(lái)的神奇功效,比如克服羞怯,增強(qiáng)自信等等!

第二章 社交禮儀Social manners
Kim's Note:I really don't know anyone in America who enjoys surprise visits.Unless you are really close friends with someone, it is embarrassing to have unexpected guests show up When you are in the middle of cleaning your house, or taking a shower.It is always a good idea to call first.Even if you are just outside of someone's building, the right thing to do is to call and say, “I am near your house and wondered if you were free right now.”
Passage No.3 Informal Calls 非正式拜訪
Some friends are just like family.一些朋友就像自家人一 樣,There is no need to make formal arrangements for a visit.拜訪之前沒(méi)有必要進(jìn)行正式的預(yù)約。
Except for these very close friends and relatives, making unexpected calls should be avoided as much as possible.除了這些特別親近的朋 友和親戚之外,盡量不要突然登門造訪。

adj.使人困惑的;令人費(fèi)解的, 事實(shí)上,每個(gè)人對(duì)于如何支配時(shí)間都有自己的計(jì)劃,為接待一個(gè)不速之客而 不得不改變自己的計(jì)劃,即使不生氣也會(huì)覺(jué)得為難。
When someone invites you to drop by anytime, they really mean to call first to make sure the time is convenient!當(dāng)有人邀請(qǐng)你可在任何 時(shí)候去拜訪時(shí),他們是指去拜訪之前你 先給他們打電話,確定時(shí)間是否方便。
Be Polite講禮貌
Good manners are so important in today's society.在今天的社會(huì),講禮貌非常重要。A little effort towards being polite to everyone you meet can have great rewards.如果你肯用點(diǎn)心禮貌地 對(duì)待你所遇到的每一個(gè)人,你將獲得巨大的回報(bào)。
Of course there are other reasons for being polite as well.當(dāng)然講禮貌還有很多其它的原因 Everyone should be polite.Polite people show good manners.每個(gè)人都應(yīng)彬彬有禮。講禮貌的人展現(xiàn)良好的風(fēng)度,Moreover, they are popular.而且受人歡迎。

Rudeness shows poor education.Therefore, why not be polite? 粗魯是沒(méi)教養(yǎng)的表現(xiàn)。因此,何不有禮貌一點(diǎn) 呢?
A simple “Please” , “Thank you” , or' “You're welcome” can make a big difference.“請(qǐng)”、“謝謝你”或“不 客氣”這幾個(gè)詞雖然簡(jiǎn)單,卻會(huì)使情況大不相同。

Therefore, you best not to ask.所以,你還是不過(guò)問(wèn)為 妙。
But if you absolutely have to comment on this subject, it's always safer to say, “Oh, you look like you have lost weight” than “Oh, you look like you put on a few pounds.” 但如果你非得要講,那就說(shuō)“噢,你看起來(lái)像是減 了幾磅”,這遠(yuǎn)比“喚,你看起來(lái) 像是胖了一些”要穩(wěn)妥 得多。
However, if you would like to be honest but not hurtful, you should choose your words carefully, perhaps by saying: “Hey, you look great.Very healthy looking.” 然而,如果你想說(shuō)實(shí)話 但又不想傷別人心,那么你在用詞時(shí)應(yīng)該謹(jǐn) 慎一點(diǎn),或許可以說(shuō):“嘿,你看起來(lái)棒極了。很健康?!?And always remember, it's not fat.It's muscular.千萬(wàn)記住要讓對(duì)方相信,那不是脂肪,而是肌肉。

C: 噢,原來(lái)是要我去參加禮節(jié)訓(xùn)練班。Mary,這詞是怎么發(fā)音的? M:E-ti-ket。Q-u是發(fā)k的音,而不是發(fā)q的音,e-ti-ket。C:我們來(lái)公司工作,又不是來(lái)社交,為什么要講禮節(jié)呀?
M:Etiquette is very important to business。一個(gè)公司的雇員對(duì)客戶是不是很客氣,有禮貌,這對(duì)經(jīng)營(yíng)有很大關(guān)系。
C:具體地說(shuō),這兒說(shuō)的etiquette指些什么呢?
M:Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。C:以文明的方式對(duì)待別人的一些原則。
M:具體地說(shuō)就是treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C:嗯,(若有所思地)對(duì)人要有禮貌,要尊敬別人,還要讓人覺(jué)得和你在一起很自如。這沒(méi)問(wèn)題,I'm always polite and courteous to others。

C是啊。我那天跟會(huì)計(jì)室的那金發(fā)女郎聊天,聊得很愉快。結(jié)果我問(wèn)她多大年紀(jì)了,她一下子就變得很不高興,支支吾吾沒(méi)有回答就走了。
M:Asking someone's age is offensive to an American.C:參加了訓(xùn)練班才知道不能問(wèn)美國(guó)人年齡的。
M:你辦公室里的小王今天早上突然問(wèn)年薪有多少。美國(guó)人認(rèn)為打聽(tīng)這種私人的事是不禮貌的。我想對(duì)有些中國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)也是不禮貌的。C:沒(méi)錯(cuò)。
M:既然你訓(xùn)練班已經(jīng)結(jié)束,我來(lái)考考你: Tell me what is etiquette? C:我來(lái)試試。Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。M:And treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C: Mary,以后我有問(wèn)題還會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教你喲!M:No problem。
