Hello, my friends.
朋友们，大家好！
Welcome back to English Unleashed.
欢迎回到《English Unleashed》节目！
I'm Tom.
我是汤姆。
Today we are talking about something very important.
今天我们要讨论一个非常重要的话题。
Yes, English conversation.
是的，我们需要进行英语对话。
Many learners say, I understand English, but I can't speak.
许多学习者表示：“我虽然能理解英语，但却不会说英语。
Maybe you feel nervous when you speak.
也许你在说话时会感到紧张。
Maybe you feel your words are slow.
也许你觉得自己的表达速度太慢了。
Maybe you understand others, but don't know how to reply.
也许你能理解别人的感受，但却不知道该如何回应他们。
All of this is normal.
所有这些都是正常的。
The good news is that conversation is a skill.
好消息是，交谈其实是一种可以掌握的技能。
And like any skill, you can build it with time, practice, and the right methods.
就像任何技能一样，你可以通过时间、练习以及正确的方法来提升自己的这项能力。
In this episode, I will talk about how beginners can start speaking and how you can become fluent step by step.
在这一集中，我将讨论初学者如何开始开口说话，以及如何一步步提高自己的语言表达能力（直至达到流利的程度）。
I will also talk about repetition.
我还会谈到重复（这一概念）。
Why repetition and listening to the same things again and again can change your English.
为什么重复练习以及反复听同样的内容能够提高你的英语水平呢？
Let's begin.
我们开始吧。
Okay, many people believe some people are good at languages and some are not.
好吧，很多人认为有些人擅长学习语言，而有些人则不擅长。
But science shows that is not true.
但科学证明事实并非如此。
Conversation is not a gift.
交谈能力并非与生俱来的“天赋”。
It is a skill.
这是一种技能。
Just like playing piano, writing a bicycle, or cooking, you get better when you practice often.
就像弹钢琴、修理自行车或做饭一样，只有通过经常练习，你的技能才会不断提高。
At the beginning, conversation is hard.
一开始，交谈确实会显得有些困难。
You think slowly.
你思考问题的速度比较慢。
You make mistakes.
人都会犯错。
You search for words.
你在寻找某些词语。
This is normal and natural.
这是很正常、很自然的事情。
Every fluent speaker also started with simple words and short sentences.
每个能够流利使用某种语言的人，也都是从学习简单的单词和简短的句子开始的。
The difference is that they kept going.
不同之处在于，他们没有放弃，而是继续坚持下去。
They didn't stop when they made mistakes.
即使犯了错误，他们也没有停下来。
They didn't stop when it felt difficult.
当遇到困难时，他们并没有选择放弃。
They kept practicing until conversation became automatic.
他们不断练习，直到交谈变得自然而流畅（即不需要刻意思考就能进行对话）。
Until it became natural.
直到这种行为变得自然而然为止。
So the first thing you must know is this.
所以，你必须首先了解这一点。
You can become fluent.
你可以变得能够流利地使用这种语言。
It is not magic.
这并不是魔法。
It is not talent.
这并不是天赋的表现。
It is practice.
这只是练习而已。
Slow, daily practice.
每天坚持进行缓慢、循序渐进的练习。
Okay, now many beginners want to speak fast and use big words.
好吧，现在很多初学者都想说得很快，并使用一些复杂的词汇（即“大词”）。
But this is not the best way.
但这并不是最好的方法。
