周笨驰老兄昨晚和English美眉在“的厅”狂欢劲舞,尽兴而归。——还真是,“小郁闷”一扫而空,精神头恢复十足。此后,周笨驰掌握一个“万能法宝”:学习一郁闷,必定要“消解”——或去玩个尽兴,或者做点自己喜欢做的事情。不是为“玩”而玩,而是为了保持对英语的“新鲜感、好奇感”,以便最终达到“玩的就是英语”的最高目标)
English美眉: How do you feel today?/今天感觉如何?
周笨驰: Great!/好极了!
English美眉: In fact, talking with foreigners isn’t a difficult thing. Haven’t you been to Starbucks Bar to seduce girls?/其实和老外顺利交谈,并不是很难的事,你不是自己跑到星巴克“泡妞”去了吗?
周笨驰:Wow, you saw it?/哇塞,你都看见了?
English美眉: Of course. And I was in Starbucks too./那天我也在星巴克“泡”呢。
周笨驰: Comrade. I finally found you!/(做激动状,小脸通红)“同志,可找到你了”!
English美眉: Actually, with your middle school English you are able to talk with foreigners. Now, you just need to learn more vocabulary, and then show off your English in the English Corner./其实,用中学英语就可以和老外顺利交谈!你现在只需多背单词,就可以在英语角“耍酷”了。
周笨驰: I hear American farmers communicate with people with a vocabulary of only 1000 words, is it true?/我听说美国的农民只需要记住1000个单词就可以自由交流了,是真的吗?
English美眉: English linguist Philologer said:“850 basic English words is enough for a person to express himself. Another English linguist said:“For reading newspapers, magazines and books, 2000 English words is fine.”/英国语言学家奥格登曾说:“讲英语,只要850个单词就够了”,另一位英语语言学者进一步论断:阅读报纸、杂志、书籍,至少要认识二千个左右的单词。
周笨驰: Are you sure? Only those few words?!/不可能吧,这么少的单词?!
English美眉: Yes. It is just like a child of 5 or 6 years old. They can express themselves well using about 1000 to 2000 words./这就好象中国的五六岁的小孩子,其实掌握的词汇很有限,也就一两千个,但他们和你也能顺利地聊天。
周笨驰: God. In that case, my English is only of 3 or 4 year olds’level./惨了,我现在的英语也就相当于三四岁的小孩子。
English美眉: Well, baby, I have a“feeding-bottle”for you. Enjoy it./好了,可爱的婴儿,我已经给你准备了“一个奶瓶”,乖,今天要喝完。
周笨驰:咂咂咂……(周笨弛背单词,犹如婴儿扑在奶瓶上)
