Todd: OK, Kawabe! (Hai) Can you tell us about your English success story.
托德：好的，川邊，你能跟我們談談成功學習英語的故事嗎？
Kawabe: English success story (Yeah, yeah) It's not a success story but I can tell how I learned. OK, first of all, I don't think I learned English as a foreign, a foreign language because I loved to listen to music, especially rock n' roll when I was a teenage. So when you love music, you become, like you, you want to sing with it so you memorize the whole lyrics and you know stuff and, so to me it was like, just, you know, a hobby, it was just a fun purely. It was the pure fun for me so, I didn't think I studied.
川邊：成功學習英語的故事？（對，沒錯）這其實并不算成功的故事，不過我可以說說我是如何學習的。好，首先，我認為我并沒有把英語當作外語來學習，因為我喜歡聽音樂，我年輕的時候尤其喜歡聽搖滾樂。所以，你如果喜歡音樂，你就會想跟著音樂一起唱歌，所以你就要記下所有的歌詞，然后就你會知道一些知識，對我來說，這就是個愛好，純粹是樂趣。對我來說是純粹的樂趣，所以我想我并不算學習。
Todd: Wow, that's great! So did you listen without reading the words, the lyrics, or did you just listen and read the lyrics at the same time?
托德：哇，那真棒！你在聽歌的時候是不看歌詞，還是一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞呢？
Kawabe: Um, both! (Both) Both, yeah! Sometimes, I'd see words which I don't understand, so I look up the dictionary and you know check the meaning and, you know, the things was always like this.
川邊：嗯，都會！（都會嗎）對，都會！我不理解的時候會看歌詞，會查詞典，你知道就是查一下單詞的意思，就是類似這樣的事情。
Todd: Um, so did you do anything else besides music?
托德：嗯，那除了聽音樂以外你有別的學習方法嗎？
Kawabe: Ah, what else? Yeah, the movie! The movie! Like, yeah, I loved to, one of my favorite movies, the Blues Brothers, because you know, that movie is interesting, and first of all, that funny, you know the funniest movie and like a great comedy in the history I think and that movie was famous for it's music, right, you know, that movie's soundtrack is great, and I have the CD in my room. And then..
川邊：別的方法？看電影！電影！我喜歡看電影，我最喜歡的電影之一就是《福祿雙霸天》，因為你知道，那部電影很有趣，首先很有意思，那是最有意思的電影，我認為它是歷史上一部偉大的喜劇，當然那部電影也因配樂而出名，你知道，那部電影的原聲帶非常棒，我房間里還有原聲帶的CD呢。還有……
Todd: You have it in your room?
托德：你房間里有那個CD？
Kawabe: Yeah!
川邊：對！
Todd: Really!
托德：真的嗎？
Kawabe: Yeah! I do and, so I saw that movie so many times. I don't remember how many times I saw that, and when you , you know, after the repetition, you know watching the same movies so many times you memorize a whole like words and sentence, what John Belushi was saying, what Dan Aykrod was saying, so it was a great study I think, for me!
川邊：對，我的確有，那部電影我看了很多次了。我都記不清我看了多少次了，在重復看了幾遍以后，你知道，在一部電影看了很多次以后，你會記住電影里面的所有對白，約翰·貝魯西的對白，還有丹·艾克羅伊德的對白，所以我認為，這對我來說是很好的學習方式。
Todd: Wow! That's a great..
托德：哇！那很棒……
Kawabe: But at that time I don't think that was studying you know!
川邊：但是那時我并不認為那是在學習！
Todd: Yeah, it was fun! So you enjoyed it!
托德：對，那很有意思！你很享受！
