晚上好，歡迎觀看今晚的節目。
Our guest is the world-known Dr.Charles Adams, who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years for his research in the area of language learning.
我們的嘉賓是文明全世的Charles Adams博士，在過去的幾年里，由于他在語言學方面的調查與研究得到了大量的閃亮的關注。
His new book Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast, has been on the best seller list for the past six weeks Welcome to our program.
他的最近在雞蛋和面包上學語言的書，在過去的六個星期里已經成為最暢銷書，歡迎觀看我們的節目。
Dr.Adams: Ah, it’s a pleasure to be here.
啊，很高興在這兒見。
Talk show host: Now Dr.Adams Tell us about the title of your book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast.
現在Adams博士將告訴我們有關他的那本書的主題，在雞蛋和面包上學語言。
Dr.Adams: Well , one of most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program,
好，學另一種語言最重要是建立一種有規律的學習程序。
like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time .
每天吃早餐的時候計劃幾分鐘。
Talk show host : Now ,sorry for saying this but your ideas may sound a little simplistic to our audience.
哦，對不起，但是你的意見對我們觀眾來說太簡單了。
I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years and I didn’t become a proficient speaker of the language.
我意思是我在高年級學了四年的西班牙語，但是我并沒有成為一個語言專家。
Dr.Adams: Well , I think there are many people that feel that way ,and that’s just it,
好，很多人都有同感，我要說的就是關于這個的，
I’m not implying that we can become people fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there.
我的意思不是說我們能成為時不時流利地說幾分鐘話的人，
but rather a regular ,consistent ,and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised language of language mastery.
而是我們能成為一個始終能流利說話的人，專注于一門語言的學習可以幫助我們掌握我們期望學習的語言。
and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
記住，母語的流利和對一門語言的精通是有區別的，等會兒我會提出我的觀點。
Talk show host: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting ?
那么你提議的基本關鍵是什么?
Dr.Adams: Well, as I just mentioned ,people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning.
如我剛才所說，我們需要在一起開始學習語言就得準備一個切實可行的目標。
I mean ,some people get caught up the craze of learning the language in 30 days,
我的意思是說，在30天內有些人就可以抓住學習語言的狂熱。
only to become disenchanted when they don’t perform up their expectations.
當他們不能完成他們的期望，他們就變得不抱幻想。
And small steps ,little by little ,are the key.
一步一步，一點一點的是關鍵。
For example ,planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
例如，一天計劃去學五個新單詞，再積極地去用它，而不是一天學30個，第二天又忘了。
Talk show host: Um-hum. Now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individal learning styles.
現在就讓講講從你個人的學習風格可以學到的一個人最大的學習潛力。
Could you elaborate on that?
你能詳細說明那個嗎?
Dr.Adams;Sure .People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently.
可以，就學習任務的不同，人們都有不同的學習方法和途徑
Some people are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn;
一些人是形象學者，他們寧可看到他們期望學的東西的模型和樣品。
other are auditory learners who favor hearing instructions,for example over reading them.
其他的人是聽覺上的學者，他情愿根據聽的指示，例如，經常讀他們。
Now ,our preferences are determined by many factors for example,personality ,culture,and past exerience.
還有我的提議是由很多的因素決定的，例如個性，文化或過去的經驗。
Talk Show Host:Well ,Dr.Adams. What is your learning style?
好，Adams，你的學習風格是什么?
Dr.Adams: Well ,I’m a very tactile learner.
哦，我是一個觸覺上的學者。
Talk show host: You mean one who learns through hands-on experience?
你的意思是一個人可以通過手摸經驗學習?
Dr.Adams:Exactly.
是的。
Tald show host: So how does knowing your learning style benefit you?
那么你怎么知道你的學習風格對你有益?
Dr.Adams:Well ,this might seem a little unusual,but moving around while trying to learn and memorize material helps me a great deal.
這看起來有點不同，但是當你試著去學什么并想記住他們，不停地移動將會給你很大的幫助。
While I cut up tomatoes and onions for my omelet in the morning ,
在早上，當我在為我的煎蛋卷切土豆和洋蔥。
I might recite aloud vocabulary to the rhythm of the knife .
我將隨著刀子的節奏大聲地背誦單詞。
But it is important to remember that often our learning styles are not singular in nature,
但是一定要記住我們的學習風格實際上并不是單一的。
but are often very multidimensional ,and we tend to learn differently in different stiuations.
它經常是多樣化的，在不同的情景下，我們將用不同的方法去學。
