學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)
我們?cè)詾槲覀兪菚?huì)英語(yǔ)的，在西伯利亞的時(shí)候，我們?cè)?jīng)把一整本書(shū)從英語(yǔ)翻譯成了俄語(yǔ)。我是在監(jiān)獄的時(shí)候通過(guò)自學(xué)教程學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的，但是從沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到過(guò)有人講一個(gè)活生生的英語(yǔ)單詞。幾年之后，我們來(lái)到了倫敦，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己一個(gè)單詞也聽(tīng)不懂，也沒(méi)有人能聽(tīng)懂我們說(shuō)的英語(yǔ)。開(kāi)始的時(shí)候這非?；?。雖然我丈夫拿這個(gè)開(kāi)玩笑，但他也很快開(kāi)始認(rèn)認(rèn)真真地學(xué)起了這門(mén)語(yǔ)言。
我們開(kāi)始去參加各種各樣的會(huì)議。我們站在前排，仔細(xì)地觀察講話者的口型。我們經(jīng)常去海德公園，那里演講者會(huì)對(duì)著路過(guò)的人群就不同的主題高談闊論。我們特別喜歡聽(tīng)其中一位演講者。他說(shuō)話帶有愛(ài)爾蘭口音，對(duì)我們來(lái)講更容易聽(tīng)懂。離他不遠(yuǎn)，一位救世軍軍官在歇斯底里地呼喚著萬(wàn)能的主。再遠(yuǎn)一點(diǎn)，一位店員在滔滔不絕地講著在大商店里做店員的奴役般的工作……。
通過(guò)聽(tīng)這些活生生的英語(yǔ)，我們學(xué)到了很多。后來(lái)，我丈夫通過(guò)做廣告找到了兩位希望交換學(xué)習(xí)的英國(guó)人，并開(kāi)始勤奮地和他們一塊兒學(xué)習(xí)。他把英語(yǔ)這門(mén)語(yǔ)言學(xué)得非常好。
Lesson16 Learning English
We thought we knew the English language, having even translated a whole book from English into Russian, when we were in Siberia. I learnt English in prison from a self-instructor, but had never heard a single live English word spoken. Several years later when we arrived in London we found we could not understand a single word, and nobody understood us. At first this was very comical, but although my husband joked about it, he soon got down to the business of learning the language.
We started going to all kinds of meetings. We stood in the front row and carefully studied the orator's mouth. We went fairly often to Hyde Park, where speakers harangued the passing crowds on diverse themes. We were particularly keen on listening to one speaker of this kind. He spoke with an Irish accent, which was easier for us to understand. Nearby a Salvation Army officer uttered hysterical shouts in appeal to God Almighty, while a little further on a shop-assistant was holding forth on the hours of servitude of assistants in the big stores...
We learnt a great deal by listening to spoken English. Afterwards, by means of an advertisement, my husband found two Englishmen desirous of exchanging lessons, and began studying assiduously with them. He got to know the language fairly well.
