Hello!My name is Shell.I’m gonna share some personal experience with you fellows.I think most of us have learned English for quite a long time, but we still couldn’t talk at our will.

大家好，我是Shell。接下来跟大家分享一些学习英语的个人经验。我想很多人学习英语的时间已经很久了，但是仍无法达到畅所欲言的状态。

why?

为什么呢？

I'd attribute it to the way we speak English rather than such as the lack of language environment or some other factors.The underlying reason why we can’t speak English properly is because we’re learning English by translation and not by comprehension.

我觉得应该归结为人们说英语的方式，而不是诸如缺少语言环境或者其他什么原因。我们没办法流利讲英语究其本质是因为我们一直在用翻译的方式来学习英语，而不是理解。

When we want to express ourselves in English, we’re always trying to find the specific phrase that corresponds with the specific Chinese phrase.Unfortunately English doesn’t work that way.

比如当我们用英语表达思想的时候，我们总是习惯性先去找与中文意思一一对应的单词，再把它们串联成英文句子。遗憾的是英语不是这个套路啊亲。

If so, we’re not speaking English, we’re just using English to speak Chinese.

如果硬要如此，那么我们根本不是在讲英语，我们只是在用英语的方式来说中文而已。

Ok, that’s all. Thanks for listening!

好了，就到这里吧，谢谢大家！

See ya!

再见！
