Learning to think in English will make you more confident speaking English

学会用英语思考会让你在说英语时更加自信
because you'll speak more naturally and fluently with less hesitation.
因为你会说得更自然,更流利,更少犹豫。
I can already hear you saying “But Emma, I need to think in my native language to translate!
我已经能听到你说“但是艾玛,我需要用我的母语思考来翻译!”
It's too hard, I don't know enough vocabulary to do it!”
这太难了,我的词汇量不够!”
But listen, that is the long, slow and painful road to English fluency.
但是听着,这是通往流利英语的漫长、缓慢和痛苦的道路。
When you do this, your English sounds unnatural
当你这样做时,你的英语听起来不自然
because the sentence structure is different in your language
因为句子结构在你的语言中是不同的
and it probably takes you a long time to say what you need to say
你可能要花很长时间才能说出你想说的话
because you're translating in your head as you speak.
因为当你说话的时候,你的大脑在翻译。
We're going to learn a few strategies to help train your brain to think in English.

So start with very simple vocabulary.
从简单的词汇开始。
When you're at home, think about the English word for things that you see around you.
当你在家的时候,想想你周围看到的东西的英文单词。
Shoes, flowers, desk, door.

When you're on the train or you're driving to work, look out the window and think of the English word for the things that you see.
当你在火车上或开车去上班的时候,看看窗外,想想你看到的东西的英文单词。

So, I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath.
所以,我希望你们闭上眼睛,深呼吸。
Because when you open your eyes you're going to look around the room in front of you and think in English
因为当你睁开眼睛,你会环顾你面前的房间,用英语思考
- only in English - not in your native language.

You're going to think in English of the words for everything that you see around you.

And open your eyes and look around you.
睁开眼睛,环顾四周。
Thinking of the English words only.

Great!

Now, if that was easy, we can move on to the next level.
现在,如果这很简单,我们可以进入下一个阶段。
If it was hard that's okay too!

But you'll need to practise every day doing the same thing in different places –
但是你需要每天在不同的地方练习做同样的事情
it will become easier.

You're training yourself to think in English.

So you can do it at home or at work, on the train or when you're at the cafe waiting for a friend.

Okay, so close your eyes, take a deep breath, go.
闭上眼睛,深呼吸,开始。
Okay, if that was easy, you can move to the next level which is to plan your day in English - thinking in English.
好的,如果这很简单,你可以进入下一个阶段,用英语计划你的一天,用英语思考。
So when you wake up in the morning and you're still lying in bed,
所以当你早上醒来还躺在床上的时候,
think about everything that you need to do that day - in English.

So when thinking in English sentences and planning your day with simple sentences becomes easy, move on to thinking in conversation.
所以,当你用英语句子思考和用简单的句子规划你的一天变得容易时,你就可以继续用对话来思考。
Now, this is great when you're sunbaking on the beach
现在,当你在沙滩上晒日光浴或者爬山,
or hiking up a mountain or you're in the shower getting ready for your day and you have some time alone in your head.
或者你在洗澡准备一天的生活,你的大脑里有一些独处的时间,这是非常棒的。
So there's nothing to distract you!
所以没有什么可以分散你的注意力!
Now thinking in conversation is really great
在对话中思考真的很棒
because you're asking the questions then thinking of answers to those same questions and also ways to keep the conversation going,
因为你在问问题的同时也在思考这些问题的答案以及如何让对话继续下去,
so it's really great conversation practice.
这是很好的对话练习。
Now, if talking to yourself in your head sounds strange or silly...
现在,如果在脑海中自言自语听起来很奇怪或愚蠢……
well I guess it probably is!
我想可能是吧
Get one of your friends to help.
找一个朋友帮忙。
And no, I don't mean ask one of your friends to have a shower with you,
不,我不是说让你的一个朋友和你一起洗澡,
that would get maybe a little bit weird and awkward.
那样可能会有点奇怪和尴尬。
You might not have the same relationship again after that.
在那之后你可能就不会有同样的关系了。
I just mean, imagine that they are part of the conversation in your head,
我的意思是,想象他们是你头脑中的对话的一部分,
so when you're asking the questions, how would they answer?
所以当你问问题的时候,他们会怎么回答?
What would they think about the things you're saying?

As you're walking down the street, in your head you could be saying “It's so hot today, isn't it?”

We've been waiting for so long now!”

Practising this skill and doing it regularly will help train your brain to think in English.
经常练习这项技能有助于训练你的大脑用英语思考。
I recommend that you find a time in your day where you always do this every day.
