是什么地方阻碍了大家学会英语的进程?
学会英语就是能够通过压码记住整篇文章的语音、文本和意思,能够想出来,说出来、写出来,这是最终的目标,不论你采用怎样的的方法最后你拥有的英语听说读写能力的有效学习时间都是必然地表现在压码英语的有效学习时间上。
有的人将自己一天学习几个小时作为刻苦的标志,将坚持作为毅力的标志,甚至有人说不要和我说有效学习时间,就说一天学习多少时间,不说有效学习时间不行,因为你几年时间还不能达到一个小时磁带的音形意全盘压码消化吸收,你通往英语学会的道路就是曲折的,你的学习方法就是有问题的,达到同样的目标你使用的时间就是浪费的、低效的。
我在几年前《什么是方法?》一文写道:方法就是达到学会英语的途径,毅力是在掌握方法以后的加大学习力度,在方法以后而不是之前,没有掌握方法之前的毅力是无效的,掌握方法以后没有持续练习的无法达到最后结果的,这就是方法和毅力的辩证关系。无论你采用的方法是什么,毅力有多大,最后衡量的结果都是一样的,就是压码记住多少英语,不管你是否采用压码法,最后都是用压码的能力来衡量,就是压码记住了多少英语磁带小时的音形意。
究竟是什么地方阻碍了我们学会英语?有人说是听,有人说是说,有人说是读没有人说是写,所以不同方法争议的焦点就是听说读写那个为侧重突破点问题,这个关注的问题焦点都搞错了,本质的问题应该是压码记住英语的音形意的整体结合,就是整体学会了多少有效时间长度的英语。
英语为什么会学不会?就是因为记不住,压不住码。耳朵听的声音不对你压不住声音,嘴巴说的不对你压不住声音,不会说是因为你不知道该怎样说,不会写是因为你不知道该怎样写。而不是我们天生的不会说不会写。有人认为英语发音很重要,我试验以后的结论:不论哪种语音都不可能存在发不出来的可能,不论哪个文字都没有我们写不出来的可能。中国人和外国人没有本质的区别。之所以我们会不会说而说错,不会写而写错,说因为我们根本就没有完整地记住这些语音和文字,而不是我们记住了还说不出来、写不出来的问题。一些头肿医头,脚肿医脚的做法,根本就是本末倒置。
我们的学习究竟哪里出现了毛病?就是因为文本上面的语音和磁带上的语音不同,磁带上的文字和文本上的文字不同,不同到什么程度?不同到足以让你感觉到语音和文字根本就不是一码是,语音码和文字码不是一个码的程度。不是一样的码的语音和文字你只要不联系到一起,就会永远学不会,达到10年也学不会一个小时磁带的问题严重性。所以,你再刻苦也是无效劳动。
所以我们要做的工作,只有一个就是要让语言的语音和文字合成到一起,把他们记下来。只有这一个工作是需要学习的地方,至于是否学会,也就是是否记住的问题,记住的同一个时间长度的英语需要的实际时间长度就是学习学会的效率,也是判断不同方法达到同一个目标的优劣程度。

Words with the same pronunciation
There are many words in English that are pronounced the same but spelled differently. The following pairs of words are explained at separate entries in this book because they are often confused:
bass - base, bear - bare, born - borne, break - brake, cereal - serial, chord - cord, complement - compliment, council - counsel, curb - kerb, currant - current, die - dye, draught - draft, fair - fare, here - hear, pore - pour, principal - principle, role - roll, sow - sew, stationary - stationery, there - their, waist - waste, whether - weather
The entries are usually at the pairs of words given above, but see entries at there and whether for information about words pronounced like these words.
Note that `paw' is pronounced the same as `pore' and `pour', and `poor' is also often pronounced the same. `So' is pronounced the same as `sew' and `sow'.
There are many other pairs of words with the same pronunciation. Some of the commonest ones are listed below.
altar - alter, berry - bury, blew - blue, boar - bore, bough - bow, bread - bred, bridal - bridle, caught - court, cell - sell, coarse - course, core - corps, creak - creek, cue - queue, cymbal - symbol, dear - deer, dew - due, earn - urn, feat - feet, fir - fur, flaw - floor, flea - flee, flour - flower, fort - fought, foul - fowl, gorilla - guerrilla, grate - great, hair - hare, hangar - hanger, heal - heel, heard - herd, heroin - heroine, hoarse - horse, hole - whole, key - quay, knead - need, knew - new, knight - night, knot - not, know - no, lain - lane, leak - leek, lessen - lesson, loan - lone, made - maid, mail - male, main - mane, maize - maze, medal - meddle, miner - minor, moan - mown, morning - mourning, naval - navel, none - nun, one - won, packed - pact, pain - pane, peace - piece, peal - peel, pedal - peddle, peer - pier, place - plaice, plain - plane, pole - poll, pray - prey, profit - prophet, raise - raze, rap - wrap, raw - roar, retch - wretch, ring - wring, road - rode, root - route, sail - sale, sauce - source, scene - seen, sea - see, seam - seem, shear - sheer, sole - soul, some - sum, son - sun, stair - stare, stake - steak, stalk - stork, steal - steel, storey - story, tail - tale, tear - tier, threw - through, throne - thrown, toe - tow, too - two, vain - vein, wail - whale, wait - weight, war - wore, warn - worn, way - weigh, weak - week, which - witch, whine - wine
Note that the verb `read' has the same pronunciation as `reed', but its past form, also spelled `read', has the same pronunciation as `red'.
The noun `lead' has the same pronunciation as `led', the past form of the verb `lead'.
There are also the following groups of words which are pronounced the same:
awe - oar - ore, buy - by - bye, cent - scent - sent, cite - sight - site, flew - flu - flue, meat - meet - mete, pair - pare - pear, peak - peek - pique, rain - reign - rein, rite - right - write, saw - soar - sore, ware - wear - where
(c) HarperCollins Publishers.
这是单词“cue”的克林斯字典的一段话,说明了同音不同字的问题,除此之外还有同字不同音的问题,这不只是英语才有的现象,我们的中文同样有同音不同字和同字不同音的现象。
所有这些都是语言本身的问题。另外语音本身没有的问题,就是不同语音之间的文字和语音不同的问题,所以你才需要学习外语,不然不同的语言采用相同的文字的语音,还需要学习什么外语?
另外一个问题,就是所有这些字典规范的语音和磁带语音不相同的问题,这是一种语言内部的问题,我们的中文也同样存在,但是我们为什么可以听懂中文,就是因为我们已经将真实语音和文字已经合成到一起了的原因。
sunyuting1 2007-11-25 08:46
我们来看看上面一课练习的一段文字的读音,看看那位在没有听磁带之前可以将它发音发准?它不是我们不会发音的问题,而是因为它的磁带语音和文字语音根本就不相同的原因。
我们再看看是否是因为磁带语音发错了的原因,所有的地方都是这样发音的,而且互动磁带和课文语音以及光盘的讲解语音都是相同的,就说明磁带的语音不是弄错了。而是我们根本就不知道语音是这个声音,学会记住了你才可能理解。学会了我们任何人都能够发正确,没有学会就不可能发音正确。我们的嘴巴没有任何问题。

Even though it's time to eat. Even though it's time to eat, we can't go out to lunch yet.
sunyuting1 2007-11-25 09:03
再回过来谈谈我们的练习效率问题,也就是学会这一课互动磁带课文的有效学习时间问题。
你如果反复地听不看文本一天用5个小时也记不住整个课文的语音,你如果只看文本你用几年时间也无法发对语音,你发音和音标一样和哪些好的发音方法一样也是没有用的,你听到的磁带语音和文本语音不一样是不能理解的。这就是我们学不会英语的根本原因。
所以你要看文本听语音,将语音和文本对上号,变成一样的语言,看文本在记住文字的同时记住该和磁带一样地说语音,听语音在记住磁带语音的同时想到正确的文字。 就像下面的同音字到底是哪个文字:
altar - alter, berry - bury, blew - blue, boar - bore, bough - bow, bread - bred, bridal - bridle, caught - court, cell - sell, coarse - course, core - corps, creak - creek, cue - queue, cymbal - symbol, dear - deer, dew - due, earn - urn, feat - feet, fir - fur, flaw - floor, flea - flee, flour - flower, fort - fought, foul - fowl, gorilla - guerrilla, grate - great, hair - hare, hangar - hanger, heal - heel, heard - herd, heroin - heroine, hoarse - horse, hole - whole, key - quay, knead - need, knew - new, knight - night, knot - not, know - no, lain - lane, leak - leek, lessen - lesson, loan - lone, made - maid, mail - male, main - mane, maize - maze, medal - meddle, miner - minor, moan - mown, morning - mourning, naval - navel, none - nun, one - won, packed - pact, pain - pane, peace - piece, peal - peel, pedal - peddle, peer - pier, place - plaice, plain - plane, pole - poll, pray - prey, profit - prophet, raise - raze, rap - wrap, raw - roar, retch - wretch, ring - wring, road - rode, root - route, sail - sale, sauce - source, scene - seen, sea - see, seam - seem, shear - sheer, sole - soul, some - sum, son - sun, stair - stare, stake - steak, stalk - stork, steal - steel, storey - story, tail - tale, tear - tier, threw - through, throne - thrown, toe - tow, too - two, vain - vein, wail - whale, wait - weight, war - wore, warn - worn, way - weigh, weak - week, which - witch, whine - wine
所以你在看文本的时候检验了自己还有哪些语音有问题,听语音的时候检验了哪些文字有问题。交替练习就将语音和文字统一了。剩下的就是理解和记忆了。这时候毅力才是有用的,毅力就是在学会以后反复体验练习进行巩固记忆的过程。他是有效的学习时间,不会浪费时间。
sunyuting1 2007-11-25 09:24
而跟读模仿、抄写注音的作用是什么?就是帮助你记住这些同一了语音和文字而已,不论你采取哪种方法,记住了才能以说,可以写,可以想,想的声音和磁带一样,想的文字和文本一样。
怎样是理解了呢,记住了整个文章的语音和文字统一的语音音形意就理解了。
你好美国的英语和其他学习材料的英语一样,就是一个文字的单词之间排列顺序问题。你学习语法是不能学会的,表面上好像学会了,你也不会进行应用。只有在语言的磁带语音和磁带文本记住了一样的语言的编“码”程序,这个程序就是互动磁带文本的一篇文章的编排顺序,语法才真正地学会了。用压码的方法将他们分散地一个句子一个句子连接成一篇完整的文章压码记忆下来就解决了问题。
所以,在你已经每个句子连续的都能理解的时候,才是最佳的记忆时机,这个时候练习压码听懂的每个句子回想,回想出磁带的语音,回想出文本的文字,回想出语音和文字图像结合的场景,才是真正地学会了英语。
遗忘,遗忘,是学习英语的大敌,大家不要老是抱怨自己的记忆力差,根本就不是遗忘的问题,而是开始你就没有学会,没有记住。如果真正是学会了而遗忘的问题的话,一册书用一天时间练习就可以恢复记忆了,那时不同课文之间自然就可以相互形成联系。
sunyuting1 2007-11-25 10:02
为什么要整理文本?
因为开始第一次听磁带大脑对磁带的语音具有排斥作用,语音和文字有很多不是一样的,对不上号。等回想出来对上号了,磁带的语音有走了,还没有等大脑调动出来语音的场景形象的意思,记住有些单词是没有场景图像的,是抽象的文字,不是形象的文字,你即使调动也无法调动出来的,所以能够做到的只有调动每个句子的连接在一起的文字,只要将整篇文章的句子文字连接到一起了,就能够理解了,也熟练句子之间连接的速度越快,理解的速度也越快。
怎样记住文字呢?实际上记住的文字你自己知道,记不住的文字,只能暂时记住语音,在看文本的时候再记住这个语音是这个句子的文字,浮现这个文字是在大量练习的时候产生的,就是不能产生浮现文字,只要你知道这个句子的文字,就是说你知道这个句子的文字的小词不会再变化了,听到一个很长的句子,即使有一个句子20多个单词也没有错误地听完回想出来了就记住了文字。对于场景图像的记忆,实际上你随便看一遍光盘也就知道了。
整理文章的作用:将文章随着语音的进度,按照文本分拆开语音单元的表达基本编程顺序,这就是我整理的基本词组那么长的原因。整理一遍时间并不长,可是整理以后你就可以理解了他的编码程序。你下次听语音大脑调动语音、文本和意义的时候,就留下了深刻印象,学习的速度变快了。
就是说你整理以后的文本就留下了:
基本词组: but, so, and
had better , had better not
it occurred to ,I realized ...,suddenly knew
基本句子一个单词对应一个句子:
but: I discovered Roger did it, but I didn't know how.
so: I discovered it this morning, so I called you right away.
and: I can't understand the technology, and I can't take a course.
He'd better : Detective Modine wants to find the criminal soon. He'd better find him soon.
He'd better not: He's trying to solve the mystery alone. He'd better not try to solve it alone.
I realized something had changed.
It occurred to me that something was different.
I realized the truth of the matter.
I suddenly understood what had happened.
Occurred. . . Chris knew she had made a mistake. It occurred to Chris that she had made a mistake.
Realized. . . Mike knew who the criminal was. Mike realized who the criminal was.
剩下的只要跟随磁带听就可以还原音、文本和意思了,大脑调动你整理的文本的速度就大大加快了理解和记忆。
当时学会了的英语还没有记住,这时还不是真正地学会。但是在初步学会音形意的时候,练习起来就会变得非常容易。大脑排斥作用就自然消失了。这个时候的大脑才是可以自然消化吸收的最佳时机。在文本上整理走一遍,学习时间变得有效了。当你听磁带和看文本的时候,发现自己没有记忆的语音和文字,一般是分段落的,后面的部分记忆较差,因为他更复杂一些,是经过多次变换的句子,还有一些信息记忆的完整准确性是难点,由于后面的练习一遍理解记忆速度都加快了,所以学习就不会浪费很多时间了。
sunyuting1 2007-11-25 10:18
一些学员可能总感觉自己前面练习压码听懂的状况怎么老是不稳定啊?
任何文章压码理解都是一样,开始会感到自己真无能,我的英语程度就是这样的水平吗?这在自己练习的时候还无所谓,如果是考试遇到哪些互动磁带朗读一篇报纸的语音,将那些信息点进行听力问答还不考的不及格,如果是真实的和外国人说话一定是无法听懂的,自己也无法交流。实际上的情况不是这样的,如果你在掌握大量你好美国学习材料的时候,你是不怕外国人的,因为他不会故意用一连串你不懂的语言和你交流,对方不能听懂他也有责任。你可以自己提问回答,就可以正常地交流了。
而对于英语报纸的阅读不是这样的,你自己学会了这些练习方法,就能够很快把握报纸的信息,理解记忆和英语思维能力就会大大加快。所以对自己的担心是没有必要的。
只要你坚持练习下去,你会发现,任何难度的文章,你都可以从不会到会,达到最佳的状态。哪篇文章都可以做到记住语音,记住文本,记住意思,这和背诵的效果是完全不可同日而语的。和听写下来也是不同的。
英语是一个消化吸收的过程,当你联系完高级篇以后,再试验一下初级篇,你就会感觉内容是多么的简单和容易。这就说明年的听力真正地提高了。因为你每天都可以做到学会一篇文章。我们过去的学习英语的方式实际上是并没有真正地学会它。
