So I think the news is a great way to learn English.
因此，我认为新闻是一种学习英语的绝佳方式。
Whether you read the news in a newspaper or watch the news on tv, or maybe you listen to the news while you're driving.
无论你是在报纸上阅读新闻，还是在电视上观看新闻；又或者是在开车时收听新闻，这些方式都可以让你了解当下的时事动态。
It's just a great way to learn new vocabulary and to improve your reading comprehension and your listening comprehension.
这确实是一种学习新词汇、提高阅读理解和听力理解能力的绝佳方法。
So in this English lesson, I'm going to talk about six reasons why I think the news is a great way to learn English.
在这节英语课上，我将讨论六个理由，说明为什么我认为新闻是学习英语的绝佳途径。
And when I explain each of those, I'll also give you some tips on how to use the news to learn English.
当我解释每一个方面的内容时，我还会给大家一些关于如何利用新闻来学习英语的建议。
The first reason why I think the news is a great way to learn English is because you don't need to know a lot of vocabulary.
我认为新闻是学习英语的绝佳工具的第一个原因是：学习新闻时并不需要掌握大量的词汇。
Now, I'm going to say a number here, and it might seem really, really big, but it's not.
现在，我要在这里说一个数字。这个数字可能看起来非常大，但实际上并非如此。
If you know 3,000 or 4,000 English words, you should be able to understand a news article when you
如果你掌握了 3000 到 4000 个英语单词，那么当你阅读新闻文章时，就应该能够理解其中的内容。
read it or understand a news story when you see it on TV or when you hear it.
当你通过电视或广播听到某个新闻报道时，能够读懂或理解其内容。
So first thing, the amount of vocabulary is somewhat small.
首先，词汇量相对较少。
I say somewhat because it's still a bit of a challenge, isn't it, to learn three or four thousand words.
我之所以说“有些难度”，是因为学习三千到四千个单词确实仍然是一项不小的挑战，不是吗？
And then also the stories or articles are usually somewhat short.
而且，这些故事或文章通常篇幅都较短。
You know, when you read a news article in a newspaper or when you watch the news on tv,
你知道的，当你在报纸上阅读一篇新闻文章，或者通过电视观看新闻时……
you're getting the news in just little segments and that's kind of nice for understanding.
你收到的这些信息都是以片段的形式呈现的，这样有助于你更好地理解它们。
So the first reason the vocabulary is limited and the news articles and stories are usually somewhat short.
因此，词汇量有限是第一个原因；同时，新闻文章和报道的篇幅通常也相对较短。
The second thing about the news is that the news is somewhat repetitive.
关于这条新闻的第二个问题是：其内容存在一定的重复性（即多次提及相同的内容）。
If you read a news article in
如果你阅读了一篇新闻文章……
the morning, you will probably hear that news story again as you drive to work on the radio
早上，当你开车去上班时，很可能会在收音机里再次听到那个新闻报道。
and you might even see that news story again on the news that night.
甚至你当晚还可能在新闻中再次看到那则新闻报道。
If you watch the news on tv.
如果你通过电视观看新闻的话……
So when something happens in the world, they report on it and then they usually give you an update or a follow up story later
因此，当世界上发生某些事情时，他们会对此进行报道，之后通常会再提供最新的情况或后续报道。
in the day.
在白天。
Because it's repetitive it will help you remember things.
因为这种内容具有重复性，所以它有助于你记住相关的事情。
If you hear two new words in the morning and you learn those words, you might also hear or read those words later in the day.
如果你在早上听到两个新单词，并且学会了它们，那么在当天晚些时候，你很可能会再次听到或读到这些单词。
So the second cool thing about the news is that it's repetitive.
这个消息的第二个有趣之处在于：它具有重复性（即同样的内容会不断出现）。
And this is what you should do with that.
这就是你应该对那件事采取的行动。
When you first read a news story, maybe on your computer or in a newspaper in the morning or at night,
当你第一次阅读一则新闻报道时，可能是通过电脑，也可能是早上或晚上在报纸上看到的……
you should learn a couple new words, two or three words that
你应该学习一些新单词，两三个词就行了。
you didn't know before, and then see if you hear those words again later that day or read them again later that day.
你之前并不知道这些信息；之后，看看当天晚些时候你是否还会再次听到这些话，或者再次读到它们。
So the second cool thing about the news, it's repetitive and you can use that to your advantage.
这个消息的第二个有趣之处在于：它具有重复性，而你可以利用这一点来为自己谋利。
The third really cool thing about the news is that it is multi platform and I kind of hinted at this in the last section.
这个消息的第三个真正令人兴奋的地方在于它支持多种平台（即可以在不同的设备或平台上使用），我在上一节中已经稍微提到了这一点。
You can read the news, you can watch the news, you can listen to the news, you can find the news in a variety of ways.
你可以阅读新闻、观看新闻、收听新闻，还可以通过多种方式获取新闻信息。
So if you want to practice your reading, you can read the news on your computer or you can read a newspaper.
因此，如果你想练习阅读能力，可以在电脑上阅读新闻，或者也可以阅读报纸。
If you want to practice your listening, you can watch the news on TV or you can listen to the radio or a podcast.
如果你想练习听力，可以看电视上的新闻节目，或者收听广播或播客。
So this is really, really cool because if you learn a word
这真的非常酷！因为如果你学会了一个单词……
by reading it, then later in the day you might hear the word and learn how to pronounce it.
通过阅读这本书，当天晚些时候你可能会听到这个单词，并学会如何发音它。
So when you read it, you maybe don't know how to say the word.
所以当你读到这个词时，可能不知道该如何发音。
But later in the day, because the news is repetitive, you might hear it.
但当天晚些时候，由于这些新闻会被反复播放，你可能会再次听到它们。
So the cool thing about the news is it is multi platform.
这个新闻最棒的地方在于它支持多种平台（即可以在不同的设备或平台上使用）。
It helps you with your reading and it helps you with your listening.
它有助于你的阅读理解能力，也有助于你的听力理解能力。
