How to Think in English (Stop Translating in Your Head) · English with Lucy
视频指出流利说英语的最大障碍是脑中翻译习惯，并提供了五项实用训练方法（如用英语描述日常生活），帮助中级及以上学习者建立英语思维，实现自然对话。
The single biggest thing holding you back from speaking English fluently is not your vocabulary and it isn't your grammar.
阻碍你流利地说英语的最大因素既不是你的词汇量，也不是你的语法。
It's that you are still translating in your head before you speak.
问题在于：你在开口说话之前，其实还在脑海中继续进行翻译（即将想说的话转换成另一种语言）。
Today, I am going to train you how to think in English so that you stop translating in your head.
今天，我将教你如何用英语思考，这样你就不会再在脑海中进行翻译了。
If you are at the one level or above, you already know enough English to think in it.
如果你已经达到或超过了某个英语水平，那么你已经掌握了足够的英语知识，可以用英语进行思考了。
Your brain just hasn't been trained properly yet.
你的大脑还没有得到适当的训练罢了。
The key to thinking in English comes down to two things.
用英语思考的关键在于两点。
The first, giving your brain the right kind of material.
第一点，就是为大脑提供适当类型的“营养”（即信息或刺激）。
This is something called comprehensible input.
这就是所谓的“可理解输入”（comprehensible input）。
And two,
还有第二点……
taking that input and turning it into real conversations.
将这些输入信息转化为真实的对话内容。
I've put together my top five recommendations to help you do exactly that so that speaking feels effortless.
我整理出了我的五大建议，旨在帮助你实现这一目标，让演讲过程变得轻松自如。
Let's get into it.
我们开始吧。
Number one, the thing you should do first.
首先，你应该做的就是这件事。
This is the best place to start, narrate your day.
这里是最适合开始的地方——你可以在这里讲述你这一天发生的事情。
The simplest way to start thinking in English is to make it part of what you're already doing.
开始用英语思考的最简单方法，就是将英语融入到你已经在做的事情中。
As you go about your day, narrate it.
在一天中度过各个时刻时，试着用自己的话把这些经历描述出来（即“叙述”这些事情）。
Out loud, if you can, but in your head works too.
如果可以的话，尽量大声说出来；不过在心里默念也是可以的。
I swear that this is what led me to speak fluently in Spanish.
我发誓，正是这件事让我能够流利地说西班牙语。
It sounds almost too simple and maybe a bit silly, but that's because you haven't tried it yet.
这听起来似乎过于简单了，甚至有点傻乎乎的……但那只是因为你还没有真正尝试过而已。
It works.
这个方法确实有效。
It works because you're training your brain to reach for English automatically in real time and for relevant vocabulary, which is exactly what you want.
这种方法之所以有效，是因为你在训练自己的大脑：让大脑能够实时、自动地选择英语表达方式以及相关的词汇——而这正是你所需要的。
First, start with the basics.
首先，从基础知识开始学习吧。
Present tense, present continuous.
现在时（present tense）；现在进行时（present continuous）。

I make breakfast every day.

Then, when you're ready, push yourself further.
然后，当你准备好了的时候，再进一步挑战自己吧。
Bring in other tenses.
引入其他时态。
Compare today with yesterday.
把今天和昨天作比较。
Today, I'm making eggs with toast, but yesterday I prepared a full lavish breakfast.

Sometimes it's nice to do things differently.
有时候，用不同的方式来做事情会很不错。
You can get as creative as you like, depending on what you're doing or what you want to practice and what level you're at.
你可以根据自己的需求、想要练习的内容以及自己的水平来发挥创造力。
Now, this internal monologue is already powerful on its own, but it becomes even more powerful when someone responds to it.
这种内心的独白本身就已经具有很强的影响力；而当有人对此作出回应时，它的影响力会更加显著。
When someone asks you full -art questions and keeps the conversation going.
当有人向你提出一些涉及专业知识的问题，并且能让对话持续进行下去的时候……
But the problem is that most people don't have an English speaker on hand at seven in the morning while they're making breakfast.
