怎样看美剧学英语:Don't throw stones(别乱喷)
看美剧学英语虽然好,但是需要解决几大学习问题:你通过看美剧学英语“学习培养”了什么习惯和能力(技能)?你是不是只“学会”了看一句英语“懂”一句中文?
1) 在当今互联网的便利时代,借助看美剧学里面的英语,养成动手查英英字典,这是看美剧学英语最起码的学习习惯和技能。
2) 同样是互联网便利时代,借助看美剧学英语,学会看一句英语“说”一句英语是最根本的学习目的。没有人只带一双眼睛不动手不动口,跟着“老师”“知道了这句英语中文什么意思”就算是“学”英语了。
People who have affairs shouldn't be throwing stones.
先不管这句英语“中文是什么?”,看了这句英语,你能“说出”多少英语?这才是学英语最需要考虑的学习问题。
不要问:中文什么意思?
一、查英英字典:throw stones
1) Free dictionary:throw stones
To hurl insults or criticisms (at someone or something).
哦,原来是我学过的insult or criticise啊!不用中文,“我懂了”。
不过,这英语只是“语言碎片”,不是完整的英语“思维语言”,不尽善。
2) Collins dictionary:throw stones
If you say someone is throwing stones,you mean they're insulting or criticising others.
这就是一句完整的“思维语言”,或者叫“英语口语”了。
二、“学”英语,“说”英语
Okay.I got you. If you say People who have affairs shouldn't be throwing stones,you mean People who have affairs shouldn't be criticising someone who also has affairs.
Mire examples
1.Instead of just throwing stones at everything we propose, why don't you contribute some constructive suggestions for a change?
That means instead of hurling insult or criticising at us.
2. By the end of the relationship, all she did was throw stones.
你自己练一练试试。
三、throw stones的出典
To throw stones来源于英语proverb:People who live in glass houses should not throw stones :
他又是什么意思,你又能“说出”多少英语呢?
1.It means Those who have faults in themselves should not find fault with others.
2.It means We should not criticize other people if we are not perfect ourselves.
记住这些互为解释的英语好了,不要再问:中文到底什么意思啊?
老是这样用中文“懂”英语“没意思”。
