望京英语口语培训，看美剧学习英语的诀窍

现在大家最喜欢看的就是美剧，网上看、下载看、买碟看。BT的种子星火燎原，盗版事业遍地开花。看的人数之多，简直可以用骇人听闻来形容……

庞大的群众基础,造就出一批有志青年，打算寓教于乐，从看剧中学习英语。但为什么很多人看美剧、英剧好多年，英文根本没有任何进步呢？缘故是……大家主要没找到看剧学英语的诀窍。

1. 不是所有的美剧都适合学英语

如果喜欢看如《24小时》这样的动作片，那你基本会讲一口流利的"呯""轰""啊"之类的开枪爆炸声英语。如果你喜欢看如《豪斯医生》这种专业性很强的片子，那你基本会讲一些如MRI,CT,Tumor之类的连自己都不明白的江湖郎中英语。如果看的是《越狱》,基本不用举手，别人就知道你是黑手党的了。不是所有剧都合适的，用来学习的美剧，是要有一定对话量、生活化的、平民化的片子。

2. 开着字幕看是没有前途的

很多人喜欢开着字幕看，觉得会有参照更有帮助，其实这是在拖你的后腿。就像很多人结婚,喜欢找个比自己丑的伴娘，以为这样自己就进步了，事实上是被拖下水了。中文是母语，对我们的眼球来说有无比强大的吸引力——只要在那里，你一定会看。一般人永远会不自觉通过中文字幕理解英语，而不是通过听懂-理解-记忆-重复，这样的过程学到英语。

3.看一遍是不够的

看一遍根本不能叫学英语,充其量只能叫娱乐。如果是抱着学习的目的，必须反复看，精听，理解句子词语的意思，为我所用才行。如果看一遍，基本你就被情节彻底打败了,或哭或笑，反复思考自己该拥有里的哪种超能力，担心下集可以下载前的日子该怎么过，哪还有心思管学英语这码事，哪怕讲的是柬埔寨语都无所谓。所以通过看个几遍，基本到了对剧情已经免疫的程度，如看老友记看到已经笑不出来了，那差不多可以洗干净耳朵仔细听了。

给大家推荐几部我最喜欢用来正常学英语的美剧:

1. 初级:Friends

Friends是经典中的经典，对于英语初级水平的朋友来说，是突破发音和对话交流最好的美剧。整个剧都是人物间谈话，而且都很简短，没有长句，词汇非常简单，基本是plain english的典范。看熟了后可以直接听MP3，对口语和听力都很有帮助。

2. 中级:Desperate Housewives

这部剧讲述的是美国中产阶级的故事，所以用词和语言非常标准，相对于Friends有更多的长句和表达，非常适合中级水平的朋友学习。

3. 高级:The West Wing

这是关于美国白宫的政治题材美剧，整个剧基本都是对话，而且语速非常快，充斥着辩论和演讲，词汇也非常高级，听起来很有难度。

Boston Legal

以律师事务所为平台，法律题材的肥皂剧，台词写得非常精彩。用词比较正式，句式也稍复杂。一些GRE等级的词汇在剧中可以常常听到。而且精彩的辩论和结案陈词可能对GRE作文或逻辑性多多少少有帮助哦。

Having mounted beside her， Alec d'Urberville drove rapidly along the crest of the first hill， chatting compliments to Tess as they went， the cart with her box being left far behind. Rising still， an immense landscape stretched around them on every side； behind， the green valley of her birth， before，a gray country of which she knew nothing except from her first brief visit to Trantridge. Thus they reached the verge of an incline down which the road stretched in a long straight descent of nearly a mile.

Ever since the accident with her father's horse Tess Durbeyfield，courageous as she naturally was， had been exceedingly timid on wheels； the least irregularity of motion startled her. She began to get uneasy at a certain

recklessness in her conductor's driving.

"You will go down slow， sir， I suppose？" she said with attempted unconcern.

D'Urberville looked round upon her， nipped his cigar with the tips of his large white centre-teeth， and allowed his lips to smile slowly of themselves.

"Why， Tess，" he answered， after another whiff or two， "it isn't a brave bouncing girl like you who asks that？ Why， I always go down at full gallop. There's nothing like it for raising your spirits."

"But perhaps you need not now？"

"Ah，" he said， shaking his head， "there are two to be reckoned with. It is not me alone. Tib had to be considered， and she has a very queer temper."

"Who？"

"Why， this mare. I fancy she looked round at me in a very grim way just then. Didn't you notice it？"

"Don't try to frighten me， sir，" said Tess stiffly.

"Well， I don't. If any living man can manage this horse I can： I won't say any living man can do it——but if such has the power， I am he."

"Why do you have such a horse？"

"Ah， well may you ask it！ It was my fate， I suppose. Tib has killed one chap； and just after I bought her she nearly killed me. And then， take my word for it， I nearly killed her. But she's touchy still， very touchy；and one's life is hardly safe behind her sometimes."

They were just beginning to descend； and it was evident that the horse，

whether of her own will or of his （the latter being the more likely）， knew so well the reckless performance expected of her that she hardly required a hint from behind.

Down， down， they sped， the wheels humming like a top， the dog-cart rocking right and left， its axis acquiring a slightly oblique set in relation to the line of progress； the figure of the horse rising and falling in undulations before them. Sometimes a wheel was off the ground， it seemed， for many yards；sometimes a stone was sent spinning over the hedge， and flinty sparks from the horse's hoofs outshone the daylight. The aspect of the straight road enlarged with their advance， the two banks dividing like a splitting stick； one rushing past at each shoulder.

The wind blew through Tess's white muslin to her very skin， and her washed hair flew out behind. She was determined to show no open fear， but she clutched d'Urberville's rein-arm.

"Don't touch my arm！ We shall be thrown out if you do！ Hold on round my waist！"

She grasped his waist， and so they reached the bottom.

"Safe， thank God， in spite of your fooling！" said she， her face on fire.

"Tess——fie！ that's temper！" said d'Urberville.

"'Tis truth."

"Well， you need not let go your hold of me so thanklessly the moment you feel yourself our of danger."

She had not considered what she had been doing； whether he were man

or woman， stick or stone， in her involuntary hold on him. Recovering her reserve she sat without replying， and thus they reached the summit of another declivity.

"Now then， again！" said d'Urberville.

"No， no！" said Tess. "Show more sense， do， please."
