通过延迟字幕的方式学习英语，既能提升听力又能积累词汇，适合想在娱乐中练习英语的初学者。
Hello everybody.
大家好！
I have a question for you.
我有一个问题要问你。
How do you learn English with movies?
如何通过看电影来学习英语呢？
When some people try to learn English with movies, they use subtitles.
当有些人试图通过电影来学习英语时，他们会使用字幕。
The problem is that when you're watching a movie with subtitles, you aren't practicing your listening skills.
问题在于，当你观看带有字幕的电影时，你并没有在锻炼自己的听力技能。
Instead, you're practicing your reading skills.
实际上，你正在练习自己的阅读技巧。
This is not what you want.
这并不是你想要的。
Listening is much more difficult than reading.
倾听比阅读要困难得多。
So when you learn English, you should do more listening than reading.
因此，在学习英语时，你应该多听少读。
This is why some people watch movies twice.
这就是为什么有些人会看同一部电影两次的原因。
They watch a movie with subtitles first, then they watch the same movie again without the subtitles to practice listening.
他们首先会看带有字幕的电影，然后再看一遍没有字幕的电影，以此来练习听力。
Now, this is an effective way to improve your listening, but I think it's really boring to watch movies twice.
确实，这是一种有效提高听力水平的方法，不过我觉得看同一部电影两次实在很无聊。
So personally, I never use this approach.
就我个人而言，我从来不会使用这种方法。
It's not for me.
这不适合我。
So today, I want to share with you a new approach.
因此，今天我想与大家分享一种新的方法。
This approach is pretty effective in improving your listening and vocabulary.
这种方法在提高你的听力能力和词汇量方面非常有效。
And with this approach, you don't have to watch movies twice.
采用这种方法，你就不必再看一遍电影了。
Are you ready to learn about this approach?
你准备好学习这种方法了吗？
Here's what it is: watching movies with "delayed" subtitles To use this approach, you need a movie player that can delay subtitles.
具体来说，就是观看带有“延迟显示”字幕的电影。要使用这种方法，你需要一个能够延迟显示字幕的电影播放器。
Now, before you watch a movie, turn on the English subtitles and then delay the subtitles for about 2 seconds.
现在，在你看电影之前，先打开英语字幕功能，然后将字幕的显示时间延迟大约 2 秒。
This will make the subtitles appear 2 seconds later than usual.
这样一来，字幕的显示时间会比平常晚 2 秒。
Let me show you a movie clip so that you know what it's like to watch a movie with delayed subtitles.
让我给你们看一段电影片段，这样你们就能了解观看带有延迟显示字幕的电影是什么感觉了。
So what you need to do when watching a movie this way?
那么，当你以这种方式观看电影时，需要做些什么呢？
Well, it's simple.
其实很简单。
First of all, when you hear an actor speaks, try to listen with full attention.
首先，当你听到演员说话时，要尽量全神贯注地去聆听。
Don't worry that you may not understand.
别担心，即使你暂时不明白某些内容也没关系。
You can read the subtitles later when they appear.
字幕出现后，你可以随时再阅读它们。
Now, if you can understand the actor, then don't look at the subtitles.
现在，如果你能够理解这位演员的表演，那就不要看字幕了。
Read the subtitles only if you don't understand.
只有当你看不懂视频内容时，才需要查看字幕。
If the actor is talking really fast, if you feel like you need more time to read,
如果演员说话的速度非常快，而你觉得需要更多时间来理解他的话（也就是需要更多时间来“阅读”他的台词），那么……
you can pause the movie before you read the subtitles.
在阅读字幕之前，你可以先暂停电影。
Now let me show you another movie clip.
现在让我再给你们看一个电影片段。
This time, try not to read the subtitles unless you don't understand.
这次，请尽量不要去看字幕，除非你真的看不懂视频内容。
Are you ready?
你准备好了吗？
Here we go.
我们开始吧。
How did you do?
你做得怎么样？
Were you able to understand the clip without reading the subtitles?
在没有看字幕的情况下，你能够理解那个视频片段的内容吗？
If you had to read the subtitles, that's OK.
如果你必须阅读字幕，那也没关系。
For most English students, movies are really difficult to understand.
对大多数学习英语的学生来说，电影的内容确实很难理解。
In fact, even native speakers have trouble understanding movies sometimes.
事实上，即使是母语者有时也很难理解电影中的内容。
