英文寫(xiě)作最實(shí)用的方法
英語(yǔ)并非我們的母語(yǔ)，那么如何能夠用非母語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言寫(xiě)出令人拍手稱贊的文章呢？下面一起來(lái)看看！
1. Read in English 看英文書(shū)
When you want to master a language, you can never read enough.
The easiest way to get started with reading in English rather than your own language is to pick up a non-fiction book on a familiar, interesting topic. Non-fiction tends to be easier to follow than fiction (fiction authors use tricky words to touch their readers' feelings) and reading about a familiar topic makes it easier to guess what the author is trying to say to you when you don't quite understand the words he's using. Don't use a dictionary unless you really have to—just skip the parts you don't understand. If you make your reading feel too much like work, you'll lose the fun in it, and the habit of reading won't last for long.
當(dāng)你想要掌握一門(mén)語(yǔ)言，看再多的書(shū)也不夠。
開(kāi)始看非母語(yǔ)的英文書(shū)，最簡(jiǎn)單的方法是挑選一本關(guān)于你熟悉且感興趣的話題的非小說(shuō)類(lèi)作品。非小說(shuō)類(lèi)作品比小說(shuō)更容易讀懂（因?yàn)樾≌f(shuō)家們通常用一些狡黠的詞匯來(lái)引起讀者的共鳴），而在不怎么理解作者用詞的情況下，閱讀熟悉的話題讓你更容易猜到作者想要表達(dá)的意思。若非必要，不要使用字典——跳過(guò)你不理解的部分。假如你把看書(shū)當(dāng)成作業(yè)，就會(huì)樂(lè)趣全無(wú)，看書(shū)的習(xí)慣也不能持久。
2. Listen to native speakers 聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)(精品課)演說(shuō)
If you don't speak English every day, this is rather tricky advice to follow. The Internet comes to rescue here through podcasts and videos from speaking events. Pick your favorite speakers and listen to them deliver their message. You will learn not only about how they use the language, but also how to captivate the audience, and a bit about the topic at hand.
假如你不是每天都說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，這將是個(gè)不大好辦的建議。在這一點(diǎn)上，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)幫上了忙，它可以提供播客和演講比賽的視頻。選擇你喜歡的演說(shuō)者，聽(tīng)聽(tīng)他們?nèi)绾蝹鬟_(dá)信息。不單能學(xué)習(xí)他們使用語(yǔ)言的方法，還可以學(xué)習(xí)怎樣吸引觀眾，并對(duì)正在討論的這個(gè)話題產(chǎn)生一定的了解。
3. When writing in English, think in English 運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)思維寫(xiě)作
This is one of the biggest things that separates a decent foreign language writer from a lousy one. The lousy writer thinks in his own language and then tries to translate his thoughts to English. But that simply doesn't work: The idioms, grammar rules, and cultural differences make text written in this manner sound clumsy and unnatural.
這是區(qū)別外語(yǔ)(課程)寫(xiě)作者水平優(yōu)劣的最關(guān)鍵因素之一。糟糕的作者用母語(yǔ)思考，然后試圖將他的想法翻譯成英文。但顯然這行不通：習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)、語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)和文化差異使這種方式寫(xiě)出來(lái)的文章看起來(lái)拙劣而不自然。
4. Write 多寫(xiě)多練
The best way to learn anything is by throwing yourself out there and practicing. In fact, I would give you the same advice even if you were considering writing in your native language. But of course, it's even more important when writing in some other language.
When you are just starting out with your blogging, you should write something every day to really get your writing routine developed. After a while it's okay to drop the pace a bit—although even then, if you want to become the best at what you do, keeping up the habit of daily writing helps a lot.
Write in different styles: lists, humorous posts, serious posts, interviews, and if you have the time, even text that is completely unrelated to your blog. Just to get more practice.
最好的學(xué)習(xí)方法就是全身心地投入其中，然后不斷練習(xí)。事實(shí)上，即使在用母語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作方面，我也會(huì)給你同樣的建議。但當(dāng)然，用其他語(yǔ)言寫(xiě)作時(shí)，這點(diǎn)更重要。
剛開(kāi)始寫(xiě)博客時(shí)，你應(yīng)該每天都寫(xiě)些東西以真正形成自己的寫(xiě)作習(xí)慣。一段時(shí)間后，適當(dāng)放緩速度也無(wú)妨——即使到了那個(gè)時(shí)候，如果你想做到最好，繼續(xù)保持每天寫(xiě)作的習(xí)慣會(huì)很有幫助。
寫(xiě)不同風(fēng)格的文章：列表、幽默文、嚴(yán)肅文及采訪等，假如有時(shí)間的話，甚至可以是和你博客完全沒(méi)有關(guān)聯(lián)的文章。筆頭一定要勤。
5. Trust your gut[內(nèi)心的感覺(jué)] 跟著感覺(jué)走
The human brain is an amazing machine.
This can be a bit scary at first as you don't know how you have learned the sayings and word plays you are using, and can't be sure if they are correct or not. Uncertainty is the price you have to pay for trying to learn to use the language in a natural way. You just have to go with your gut and trust your brain when words keep popping up that you didn't know you even knew.
人類(lèi)的大腦是一臺(tái)不可思議的機(jī)器。
這起先也許會(huì)讓人有些慌亂，因?yàn)槟悴恢雷约菏褂玫恼f(shuō)法和詞匯是怎么學(xué)會(huì)的，也無(wú)法確定它們正確與否。不確定是你想自然地使用這門(mén)語(yǔ)言所要付出的代價(jià)。當(dāng)你甚至不知道自己認(rèn)識(shí)的詞匯不斷地冒出來(lái)時(shí)，你只要跟著自己的感覺(jué)走，相信自己的大腦就行了。
6. Proofread 校對(duì)
When you have finished writing your article and it seems nearly perfect to you, the next thing to do is to check it for typos, grammar mistakes, and just some plain weird sounding sentences.
The easiest way for checking for typos is to use a spellchecker, but checking for
grammar mistakes is a lot trickier. What I do is that I usually check the grammar first in Microsoft Word or just play it by the ear, depending on how much you trust your own English language skills.
And of course, if you want to play it safe, you can always ask one of your English speaking friends to double check your article.
寫(xiě)完作文了，你覺(jué)得它看起來(lái)很完美，下一步便是檢查有沒(méi)有打錯(cuò)字、有沒(méi)語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤以及一些看起來(lái)就是怪怪的句子。
檢查打字問(wèn)題最簡(jiǎn)單的方式是使用拼寫(xiě)檢查程序，但檢查語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤就繁雜得多。我通常先在Microsoft Word里檢查語(yǔ)法或讀出來(lái)用耳朵聽(tīng)，這取決于你對(duì)自己的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言技能有多大的自信。
當(dāng)然，如果你想更放心，你也可以叫一個(gè)以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的朋友再幫你檢查一次。
7. Have English-speaking friends who are not afraid to correct your mistakes 結(jié)交肯糾錯(cuò)的外國(guó)朋友
The best way to learn to sound like a native is to hang out with them as much as you can. By paying close attention to how they speak, you will learn the sayings they use, the slang, and even the jokes that they throw at you. All of this is important in making your English sound more natural and conversational rather than something learned from a book.
Instant messaging, e-mailing, or even chatting with them face to face, if possible, are all good ways to learn from friends. And the best part in all of this? You can do it while having a great time getting to know new, interesting people.
學(xué)習(xí)地道英文的最佳途徑是多和英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)者打交道。仔細(xì)觀察他們的說(shuō)話方式，你可以學(xué)到他們使用的說(shuō)法、俚語(yǔ)，甚至是包括他們對(duì)你說(shuō)的笑話。所有這些都是重要的幫助，讓你的英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)起來(lái)更自然、更像日常對(duì)話，而不是從書(shū)本里學(xué)到的東西。
使用即時(shí)通信和電子郵件——如果可以的話，和他們面對(duì)面地交談吧，這些都是向朋友學(xué)習(xí)的好方法。最大的好處？你可以一邊學(xué)習(xí)，一邊了解有趣的新朋友，這非常有意思。
8. Study spelling and grammar 學(xué)習(xí)拼寫(xiě)和語(yǔ)法
Yeah. I admit it, this doesn't sound like a lot of fun at all. But to achieve greatness, you have to put in some effort. And in the end, the reward of learning and becoming more confident with your writing is really worth it. Go find the books you were using on your English courses back in school, or if you can't find them, check if there are any good course books at the local library.
If you still want to go one step further, you can enroll to a language course. Just make sure to pick one that is mostly about creative writing because that will get you moving faster towards your goal.
是的，我承認(rèn)這看上去一點(diǎn)都不有趣。不過(guò)，若想取得成就，你必須付出努力。到頭來(lái)，學(xué)習(xí)的成果以及你在寫(xiě)作上的愈加自信完全值得這樣的付出。找出學(xué)生時(shí)代的英語(yǔ)課本，假如找不到，不妨看看當(dāng)?shù)氐膱D書(shū)館有沒(méi)有好的教科書(shū)。
假如你想更進(jìn)一步，可以報(bào)讀一門(mén)語(yǔ)言課程。要確保你選擇的課程主要是講創(chuàng)意寫(xiě)作的，因?yàn)槟菢涌梢灾愀斓剡_(dá)成目標(biāo)。
9. Commas and hyphens—the tricky buggers
逗號(hào)和連字符——兩個(gè)棘手的家伙
Commas are hard. Hyphenation nearly impossible.
The good thing here is that not even the English speaking bloggers always get these things right. But does that mean you don't have to worry about them? No. If you want to be a great writer, you have to try to practice the hard things as well. All you can do is to learn about using them and then always double check your text to see if your punctuation is correct.
逗號(hào)非常難。連字符更是難如登天。
值得慶幸的是，即使是以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的博主也未必能正確使用這些符號(hào)。但那意味著你就無(wú)須為它們煩惱了嗎？不。如果你想成為一名優(yōu)秀的作者，你必須在這些難點(diǎn)上多加練習(xí)。你要做的就是學(xué)習(xí)使用方法，總是反復(fù)檢查你的文章，看看你的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)是否正確。
10. Relax 放松一點(diǎn)
Last comes the most important tip of all: Relax, and enjoy your writing. To be a great writer, you have to put in a lot of effort, but it's not going to happen overnight. So, while you are practicing, don't panic. Just write the best content you can with the skill set you have right now. Put it online on your own blog and learn more as you go.
Relax, have fun, and share your thoughts with the world!
最后是最重要的一點(diǎn)建議：放松一點(diǎn)，享受寫(xiě)作。要成為偉大的作家，你必須多加努力，而且不可能一蹴而就。因此，在練習(xí)的時(shí)候不要慌張。用你現(xiàn)有的技巧寫(xiě)出最好的文章吧。將它放到你自己的博客上，之后學(xué)習(xí)更多知識(shí)。
