中英文对照：华尔街英语外籍专家教你如何学好商务英语

肖堰:从师资和工作人员，我们教师是全球招聘。Tim从英格兰过来，我们的相对的来说，外教的水准和要求会很高。从设点来讲，在写字楼里，环境比较舒适，条件比较好的写字楼设点，本身的费用就会比较高。同时最主要的一点，是全天候的为学员开放。学员随时来学习都可以，早晨我们的学员不是很多，但是我们这种承诺，就得开放，有一个学员我们也会提供这样的服务。这样全天候的服务，本身的成本也是在那的。所以这一系列的因素来考虑，我觉得这个选择，就由学习爱好者去选择了。当然有中端的，有低端的，完全取决于英语爱好者了。

主持人:有一个词友问，商务英语的口语考试应该怎样准备呢？

Tim_Russ:i think for me, one verybig misunderstanding in china is that spoken english is different from english.spoken english is part of english, it's actually the most difficult part. and that's why for us when we test people's english in ws, we test the spoken english. because basically if you can speak and use the language, for short you can understand, you can read and you can write. but spoken english and writing is very much the active parts of learning. you know reading, listening is mmore passive, speaking and writing is more active. and there is only one way:keep speaking, keep practicing, and keep using. but if you can to practice you spoken english, you have to systematicly practice. if you are practicing for a business english test, and every you talk about the weather, it doesn't help you. so you got to practice and speak at a level that you are going to need for the test. and prctice not just only on word, but on topics. so we could be today you gonna talk about marketing. have a discussion on marketing, focusing on the key words and the key ideas. focus on the finance and focus on the key words. and just really get use to speaking and practicing. and ask the next person, so you have to do this by with another person. so you need somebody to prepare what is their fonud teacher,or found a heishtest level, and you have to be prepared to respond quickly. i'v interviewed many peple,in english ,chinese, and see many tests. and they come prepared for the exact questions. they take the whole page, and they remember the whole anwsers. but as soon you ask a diggerent question, they don't know what to do, because they haven't remember that. because real english, every time we are asking questions, we are responding, we are not remembering one sentence, we taking different words and language and put them together. so i think the key for me is that you'v got to practice in a real situation, you'v got to get the other person to ask you many questions, make it difficult, so that you feel ready for one you do the spoken test.
口语考试其实并不是脱离于一般的英语考试之外的。口语也是一般英语其中一部分，这也是华尔街英语的教学理念吧。整个口语的训练，或者这种技能的提高，一定是要靠互动的交流，而不是靠记忆。最基本的技能就是你和对话者他提问，你回答，就是一个不断的反复，不断的互动来体现你的技能。比如说面试，用英语参加面试的人，感觉更多的是靠记忆。事先准备的问题，一旦按照这个问题去提的时候，他能回答，因为他记住了。但是一旦转换一种角度去提问，就没法回答了。就看出，他是用语言技没能达到的程度，而是靠记忆。这是中国的学习者常见的问题。

肖堰:我再延伸Tim的观点。咱们一定要反思，我们学汉语是怎么学的？这个就是华尔街英语的理念，就是像学母语一样学英语。这不是我们宣传的概念，是的的确确在我们的系统设计当中，我们在全球培养了两百多万的学员，而且都是不同国家地域遇到的问题。在这个基础上，总结出来的教学理念，教学的方法，技术的运用。来切实让你得到一个感觉，就是像学母语一样学习英语。是一个学习的过程，而不是记忆的过程。所以英语一定不要把它神秘化，把它顶礼膜拜，就是无疑于汉语的一种语言。一定是基于你对文化的理解，阅历，当然也有语言技能的提高。就是种种方面的综合，来体现你的语言技能。但是基础就是，一定要有语言技能，在语言基本技能的基础上，你再去提高你的交流的能力。所以语言就是为了交流。

主持人:所以我们要解放思想，就是像母语一样的学习英语。

肖堰:当然通过这个过程当中，通过华尔街英语专业的培训机构，每一个环节有精心的设计，通过我们的设计，来帮助你在学习的过程当中，能够有效，能够更快，也是能够有乐趣。

Tim_Russ:i'll take one song that i think it is also very famous in china, it's not a very happy song, it's called "candle in the wind", this is actual written for Marilyn Monroe first, but i think most people know it because of princes Diana. so was rewritten again because of her. and it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind. and i think it's also good for the chinese learner, because it not just a simple sentence, you have to use your imagination.
我喜欢《candle in the wind》。对中国的英语学习爱好者来说，想学一门语言的时候，如果深入了解它的背景，又了解它所蕴含的意思，你对于整个的理解就会更加的透彻，所以无疑于学汉语一样。

肖堰:一个是语言，一个是语文，或者是文学，其实是两个不同层面的问题。语言就是日常的交流，中国人的文盲，中文也说得很好。如果说就是为了交流，口语很快的可以提高。要想阅读，再去进行更多的训练。这四种能力，其实汉语也是同样的要求，听说读写。所以还是那句话，千万不要把英语神秘化，它无疑于其他任何的语言。但是如果你想学到从交流，到熟练的运用，到一种精神的理解和掌握，那就是要了解它的文化背景。
