用英语阅读：一篇英语短文

　　学习英语，说白了其实就是反复训练我们养成不用“中文参考译文”“读懂理解”英语，而是“直接用英语翻译成英语”来“读懂理解”英语的能力的过程。

　　能把这个“英语能力”训练出来，你的英语已经变得很厉害了。

　　我们把这种“用英语读懂英语”的训练，叫做“鱼”中有“鱼”训练。

　　1) URead：你是怎么“读懂”下面小学级别的英语的?

　　My home 我的家

　　My home is on the first floor. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room. I’m a child. I have a nice bedroom. In my bedroom, there is a bed, a closet, an air- conditioner and so on. My closet is green. My bed is blue. I love my bedroom very much.

　　【参考翻译】

　　我家是在一楼。有两间卧室，一间厨房和一间客厅。我是一个孩子。我有一个很好的卧室。在我的卧室里有衣柜，空调机等。我的衣柜是绿色的。我的床是蓝色的。我非常喜欢我的卧室。

　　你还处于还需要上面的借助中文译文才能“读懂理解”这段英语的阶段吗?

　　2) UTalk： “使用英语”训练：你能“读英语说英语”吗?

　　1. My home is on the first floor.

　　“说英语”：Well, when we say：My home is on the first floor, we can also say：My house is on the first floor.

　　Our home is a house,but a house may not be our home.

　　Our home is the house or the place where our family live together, our father and our mother, our sisters and brothers live there, so we call this house our home.

　　But a house can be a building, a hotel, an office, a factory. This house is only a house.Our family don't live there. So it is not a home.

　　把我上面的英语大声说几遍，抓住关键词记忆，你就能用英语说清楚home和house的区别了。

　　既然我们能试着用英语解释home和house的不同，为什么还“依赖”中文解释呢?

　　On the first floor means not on the second floor, not on the third floor, and so on, or not in the basement, or underground.

　　Well,when one house is on top of another house, we call this one floor, or one storey.

　　2. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

　　When we say bedroom, we mean a room in our home where we sleep at night.

　　A living room is also a sitting room.The family usually spend time in the living room, watching TV, or chatting.

　　3. I’m a child.

　　If you are a child, you are a little girl ,or a little boy, or you are a kid.

　　4. I have a nice bedroom. In my bedroom, there is a bed, a closet, an air- conditioner and so on. My closet is green. My bed is blue. I love my bedroom very much.

　　A bed is the furniture for sleeping or taking a rest.

　　A closet is the place for keeping or storing our clothes.

　　An air-conditioner keeps our room cool in summer,or warm in winter.

　　5. and so on：When we say and so on ,we can also say etc./ek-'se-tra/

　　强迫自己用英语读英语，理解英语，你得到的是更多的英语，谓之：“鱼”中有“鱼”。
