我打算谈谈说话的风格。
And in my last video, in which I talked at normal speed,
在我上一个视频中，我是以正常的语速进行讲解的。
I talked a lot about my personal
我谈了很多关于我个人的事情。
speaking style and why it might be easier for you to understand me even when I speak at normal speed compared to other native speakers.
我的说话风格是这样的：即使我以正常语速说话，你也可能比我更容易理解我的意思——相比其他以英语为母语的人来说，确实如此。
So this is an interesting topic because everyone has their own speaking style
这确实是一个有趣的话题，因为每个人都有自己的说话风格。
and some people are easier to understand than others.
有些人比其他人更容易被理解。
And so I think that this is
因此，我认为这就是……
something that's relevant for you especially as an English learner because some people will be harder to understand than other people.
有些内容对你来说尤其重要，尤其是对于正在学习英语的人来说；因为有些人的表达方式可能比较晦涩难懂（即他们的话更难被理解）。
By the way, excuse the sunglasses and the sun in my face.
顺便说一下，请原谅我戴着太阳镜，以及阳光直射在我脸上的情况。
It's getting colder here and I kind of want to be in the sun.
这里的天气越来越冷了，我其实很想晒晒太阳。
So I know I look a little funny but I'm sure you don't mind.
我知道我的样子可能有点奇怪，不过我相信你们应该不会介意吧。

Okay, so everybody has their own individual speaking style and it makes them either easier or harder to understand and that will also depend on you,

the listener.

Some people will be easier for you to understand and some people will be easier for another English learner to understand.
有些人更容易被你理解；而另一些人则可能更容易被其他英语学习者理解。
It depends but everyone has their own
这要看具体情况，但每个人都有自己的想法或观点。
speaking style and this is why you
（此处原文有些不完整或表达不清的地方，但根据大致意思进行翻译）说话的风格……这就是为什么你会……
might feel good about your comprehension one
你可能会对自己的理解能力感到满意。
day and then the next day you
一天又一天……
feel terrible about your listening skills because
因为自己的听力技巧太差了，所以感到非常沮丧。
maybe the first day you listened to
也许就是你第一次听它的那天……
someone who is easier to understand because of their speaking style and then the next day you listened to someone who has a harder speaking style.
有些人因为他们的说话方式而更容易被理解；然而第二天你又听了另一个说话方式较为复杂的人的讲话。
This has happened to me many times where one day I feel great about my listening skills maybe in French
这种情况在我身上发生过很多次：有时候我会觉得自己听外语（比如法语）的能力非常出色。
and then the next day it's like, man what happened?
然后第二天就会想：“天啊，到底发生了什么？
I thought I had a good level
我原以为自己的水平已经相当不错了。
of comprehension and I feel that way because I listened to content in which the person had a harder style of speaking.
我的理解能力确实有限，之所以会有这种感觉，是因为我听了一些演讲者的表达方式较为晦涩难懂的内容。
Right, so this is also why it can be hard to really gauge or measure your level.
没错，这也正是为什么很难真正评估或衡量自己的水平的原因。
It can be hard to determine your
确定自己的……可能是一件很难的事情。
level of comprehension because you might understand
理解的程度可能会有所不同，因为有些人可能更容易理解某些内容。
some content really well and then other content you can't understand well so it's hard to really gauge your overall level of comprehension.
有些内容很容易理解，而另一些内容则很难理解；因此很难准确评估自己的整体理解能力。
For me too when I think of
对我来说也是如此，每当我想到……
languages I've learned it's hard for me
我学过的语言确实很多，不过对我来说，掌握这些语言确实是一件相当困难的事情。
to say exactly how good my comprehension
确切地说，我的理解能力有多强……
is because depending on the situation I
这是因为具体情况不同，我的做法也会相应改变。
might understand everything or there might be a lot of stuff I don't understand and this is largely because of the person's speaking style.
也许我能理解所有内容，但也有可能有很多地方我无法理解；而这在很大程度上是由于说话者的表达方式（即说话风格）所导致的。
So it can be hard to gauge your level and the goal in general is to just understand people in general.
因此，很难准确判断自己的水平；而总体目标其实就是去了解他人（即理解他人的想法和行为）。
We want to just feel like we can understand people in whatever context we're in.
我们希望无论身处何种情境，都能真正理解他人。
