practising with the mmmEnglish Imitation Technique which

is one of the most effective ways
这是最有效的方法之一。
to reduce your accent and to fix your pronunciation problems so that you speak more clearly and confidently in English.
为了减轻你的口音、改善发音问题，从而能够更清晰、更自信地用英语表达自己。
And it's effective because it teaches you to listen to the sounds and the patterns of English
这种方法之所以有效，是因为它教会你如何辨别英语中的各种声音及其发音规律（即英语的发音模式）。
and trains you to produce those same sounds yourself through repetition and controlled practise.
通过反复练习和有针对性的训练，它教会你如何自己发出这些声音。
You're training your mouth with your ears by listening to the sounds and imitating them
你通过聆听各种声音并模仿它们，从而在无形中“训练”自己的发音能力（即让嘴巴学会如何正确发出这些声音）。
rather than training your mouth with your eyes by reading and guessing the pronunciation and the rhythm of words on a page.
与其通过阅读并猜测页面上单词的发音和节奏来“训练自己的发音能力”（即让眼睛代替嘴巴来学习发音），不如采取其他更有效的方法。

To practise with the Imitation Technique, there's just three simple steps that you need to follow.
要练习“模仿技巧”，只需遵循三个简单的步骤即可。
The first one is, well you just need to listen to what I say and read the words on the screen as I say them.
第一点很简单：你只需要听我说的话，并在我说话的同时阅读屏幕上显示的文字即可。
Next, you'll be listening to what I say but then there'll be a pause so that you can repeat what I said.
接下来，你会听我说的话，但之后会有一段停顿时间，让你有机会复述我刚才说过的话。
You need to copy me exactly as you hear me.
你需要完全按照你听到我的话的内容来复制我。
This step, you can do again and again and again until you sound or you think you sound exactly as I do.
你可以反复进行这个步骤，直到你的发音听起来和我完全一样，或者至少你认为自己的发音已经接近我的标准。
And it's okay to practise many times before you move on to the third step.
在进入第三步之前，多次练习是完全可以的。
You can even slow down the speed so that you can practise a little more slowly before stepping up to regular pace
你甚至可以降低速度，这样在恢复到正常节奏之前，就有更多的时间进行练习。
because step three is a challenge, even for a native English speaker.
因为第三步确实是一个挑战，即使对于以英语为母语的人来说也是如此。
You're going to be listening to me
你们必须听我的话。
and saying what I'm saying at the same time and that's pretty much like practising along to your favourite song, right?
同时还能说出我想说的话，这其实就相当于跟着自己最喜欢的歌曲来练习演奏，对吧？
You can't really do it straightaway but with a little bit of practice it gets easier and you'll start having fun.
你一开始可能无法立刻掌握这项技能，但只要稍加练习，就会变得容易起来，而且你会开始从中感受到乐趣。
Now although this step is also the trickiest one, it's the best way to fine-tune your natural speaking skills.
虽然这一步也是最棘手的部分，但却是提升你自然说话技巧的最佳方法。
You'll get to hear what I'm saying
你会听到我在说什么的。
and what you're saying at the same time so that you can adjust the sounds and the rhythms so that you can match me.
同时，你也需要说出自己的想法，这样你就可以调整声音和节奏，从而与我保持同步。
You are going to make a lot of mistakes but who cares?
你会犯很多错误，但谁在乎呢？
We're going to have fun!
我们会玩得很开心的！
Today we're going to practise talking about a past trip.
今天我们将会练习谈论过去的旅行经历。
Now I'm going to be sharing a story with you about my recent trip to Portugal.
现在，我想和大家分享一个关于我最近去葡萄牙旅行的故事。
Talking about travel is a really great
谈论旅行是一件非常有趣的事情。
way to start a conversation because there is lots of opportunity to ask questions and to share your own travel experiences with someone.
这确实是一个很好的开场白——因为这样有很多机会可以提问，也可以与对方分享自己的旅行经历。
Keep in mind that you can easily
请记住，你可以很容易地……
