4D拓展语言拓展
   我们在上海世博会看到一些4d技术的演示，比如航空馆的模拟立体时空游览项目，只要将一个个立体电影通过游览飞机缆车旋转就可以到不同时空的立体电影里面去了。这不过是立体电影增加一维的想法而已。
    我们设想一下，各种外语我们可以怎样直接获得而学会呢？就是基本属于那种不劳而获的获得，不是你一点点学习才学会的呢！这就需要一个像世博会那样的一个缆车，还需要不同区间的各种场景的大大小小不同的外语立体空间，同时还需要自由自在的控制，也就是你的思维过程，这样问题就解决了。
  
  

我们将每个直接获得的学习内容作为自己设计的大量的立体空间语言，将每个立体空间的拓展连接叫做时空缆车，有你自己进行虚构自己的外语学习环境，这样多语言学习就可以直接像学习汉语一样的在不同语言、不同语音、不同字体、不同意思这个四维空间里自由地翱翔了。
   我们首先假设自己听懂英语一个句子就想听到汉语一个句子的短语单词那样，听到或者看到英语的语音，把它当做汉语的语音，看到汉语的语音，就想看到汉语的意思一样，这样英语在有大量生词的情况下直接理解了。
   怎样拓展到立体的英语呢，我们是以英语短语的阅读为例一条主线进行的，就是听说读写都包括只要设想你听到英语语音，看到的句子，读懂，说出，写出来，这就是立体的英语了，如果可以说出任何英语则就是4D维度的拓展了。
   从一个英语最简单的单词开始，到一些主要的英语实用短语，有了一些使用短语的体验听到英语读音，就能听出汉语同样语音的意思来，你能否加快一点速度，也就是看一页英语能够像看汉语这样类似的速度进行浏览啊，昨天我们给大家进行了示范练习，在一本书英语里面是文章连续不停的内容进行阅读，比如我拿七个成功者英语练习，采用短句子来说汉语同样语音的短句子，你会发现原来英语理解就是这样简单的，而且你发现原来自己看着一本英语是可以说自己意思的英语短语，看着英语文章可以写作自己的英语意思内容的英语，比着写英语，就和我们比着汉语写汉语一样的简单，特别是你遇到不熟悉的单词就绕开走，写自己理解和应用最熟练地短句子来表达自己正在想做的事情。你可以在网上采用任意的英语网页进行练习，看到英语就是汉语语音的自然转换，你发现英语原来的这样容易学习的啊。
  

我们看到一个英语句子可以用不同语言来练习汉语语音说100到200种常用语言的外语语音文字的的汉语语音意思的直译。这就像一个单词“你好”，hello，音译出来好啰一样，，着一个单词，就能直接和看汉语那样容易的大约速度从上到下看完一页单词的上百种外语的汉语音译了，你这时自己试验一下每个常用短语进行抽查自己没有练习的其他句子短语，每个单词你从英语开始试验，很快就试验了100来个短语的汉语语音直译，你试探着一些部分比较容易，自己感觉比较简单的语言你发现自己跳着练习这样很有成就感啊！因为100多页的不同基本单词，不同的常用外语短语你可以快速看完一些泥感觉和汉语音译最接近的各种语言的短语，你越是你发现你已经不需要一个单词一个外语一个外语地去教你学会上百个外语的统一个短语了，而是你只要看感觉简单的短语都你的兴趣和灵感触发越强烈.。你就开始想着用各种自己最容易的拓展练习了。

你开始想这100个常用句子短语太简单也太呆板了，因为你不是为了简单的和外国人只是打个招呼哦，你是想真的和各国人见面打过招呼以后，就切入正题说你想说，或者斜睨想写的各样意思含义，你自己心里想的外语。
   这就是我们假定的在世博会的缆车上，在一个又一个立体电影场地，不光立体电影里面的镜头是进入和离开你的感觉，而是你自己可以不同地进入或者离开各个立体电影的场景，自己随心所欲的进行移动在各个立体电影场地的自由。
    你自己先设计一个立体场景吧，你用自己的汉语想的意思，汉语的思维，也就是你现在这在考虑的问题，你的想法，用汉语拼音打字输入到论坛，或者QQ上合大家一起来学习，来游览。你发现现有的50种外语可以直接通过翻译软件获得各种外语的句子文本类型，你只要自己将自己已经学会的看到任意的常用的50种外语的文字，看出汉语语音的意思进行直译就可以了，你如果自己想进行外语输入练习，你可以用汉语拼音输入各种外语啊。你这时自己自然获得外语的感受就会油然而生，原来以为只有基本常用单词才能看到外语说汉语读音的意思呢，现在可以不被任何句子所束缚了，就是说你是自由自在的练习你任意汉语可以表达的句子了。
