Now again about those electronic dictionaries, sometimes like especially when people are trying to write,
我再說一下電子詞典方面的事情，有時候，尤其是當人們在寫作的時候，
they will write a sentence in their native language and then press translate on this dictionary, and get a sentence in English.
他們會用母語寫一個句子，然后按詞典上的翻譯鍵，接著就能得到一個英語的句子。
Now I've seen sentences that I knew came from the dic... from the electronic dictionary, because they made no sense.
我看到過一些我一眼就知道是從電子詞典中翻譯來的句子，因為它們根本講不通。
Okay? They were terrible terrible sentences, don't do that, okay?
那些句子超級超級糟糕，不要這么做好嗎？
The people who made these dictionaries might not know English very well, keep that in mind, okay?
那些制造這些電子詞典的人也許并不是很懂英語，記住這一點。
So these are some ideas, now I'm going to tell you what I think are the best ideas to increase your vocabulary.
以上是我告訴你們的一些想法，現在我要跟你們講我認為的增加詞匯量最好的方法。
Okay, so now we're going to look at a couple of other ways you can increase your vocabulary.
現在我們要來看幾個能幫你們增加詞匯量的其他方法。
These are very effective but they take a lot of patience, a lot of perseverance.
下面的這些方法非常有效，但是需要很多耐心和很大的毅力。
You have to try hard, you have to keep doing it because vocabulary, not so easy right?
你們必須努力，必須堅持，因為增加詞匯量可不是件簡單的事，不是嗎？
Okay, so first we're going to start with cards.
好了，首先我們要從卡片開始。
You get yourself a stack of cards, maybe this big, not too big, because you want to carry them in your pocket, take them with you everywhere you go, okay?
你們要給自己準備一疊卡片，也許這么大，不要太大了，因為你們要把它們放在口袋里，去哪兒都要隨身帶著。
On one side of the cards, you're going to write words, four maybe five words that are new words for you.
在卡片的一面，你們要寫上四五個新單詞。
You're going to write sentences on the back, on the other side of the card.
在卡片的另一面也就是背面，你們要寫下句子。
You're going to use these words in sentences so you have a clear meaning or you can write the meaning of the word, dictionary meaning, both okay.
你們要把這些單詞用到句子里去，這樣你們就有一個清楚的含義，或者你們也可以寫下這個單詞的意思，字典上的釋義，兩種都可以。
Now you're going to split your cards into three piles, okay?
然后你們要把這些卡片分成三摞。
You can like have the pile of cards of words that you know, words you're very comfortable with, eventually you will have a pile like this.
你們可以分出一摞寫著你們認識的單詞的卡片，就是那些很順口的單詞，最終你們會得到像這樣的一摞卡片。
Words that you're very comfortable with, you know them very well, you don't need to look at these cards very often, okay?
這一摞是你們覺得很舒服、非常了解的單詞，這些卡片不需要你們很頻繁地去看。
Now before I continue, where do you get these words?
在繼續之前，我問一下你們知道從哪兒找這些單詞嗎？
Get from a TOEFL site or an IELTS site or an SAT site or an SAT book, for example they have lists of words that you need to learn.
從托福或者雅思網站上找，或者SAT網站或SAT書，上面有很多你們要學的單詞。
Put all these words on cards, split them up like this.
把所有這些單詞寫在卡片上，然后像這樣把它們分出來。
You know these words very well, don't need to look at.
如果你們對這些單詞很熟知的話，就不需要看了。
