看电影学英语

 

VLC player. This is actually a video player I recommend² for watching films on your computer. This is one of my favourite tools. Most people use it just to watch movies, but I use it a little differently.

 

万用播放器。这实际上是我推荐用来在电脑上看电影的一个视频播放器。这也是我最喜欢的一个工具。大部分人只用它来看电影，但是我的用法不太一样。

 

Here's what I do – if you download³ amovie online, and you play it, you know how you don't understand English sometimes?VLC Player allows you to play back movies at half speed or quarter speed. So ifthere are parts you don't understand, you can play these back at a slower speedand try again! It's very helpful to practice your listening.

 

我的做法是，如果你从网上下载了一个电影并且播放，你知道有时候不理解英语。万用播放器可以让你慢速回放电影。所以如果有你不明白的地方，你可以慢速回放，再尝试一遍。练习听力很有帮助。

 

It's okay to miss words…just let it go.Last of all, remember what we said in the start? Watching movies should befun…so if you miss a word, a phrase⁴, or even many sentences, that's okay! Justfollow along the subtitles⁵ and learn that way. Don't make yourself feel bad…watching films is supposed to be fun!

 

错过某些词没关系……错过好了。最后一条，记得我们在开头说的话吗?看电影应该是件有趣的事……所以如果你错过一个单词，一个短语，甚至许多句子，没关系!跟着字幕学习就好了。不要让你自己灰心丧气……看电影应该是有趣的。
