每次说英语前是不是都在大脑内先“翻译”下呢？5步教你完全进入英语思维之中，摆脱依赖第一语言的习惯影响，而不需要在脑子里进行任何翻译。
Hello everyone and welcome back to English With Lucy.
大家好，欢迎来到Lucy英语。
Today I am going to teach you how to train yourself to think in English and thus stop translating in your head.
今天我将教你们如何训练自己用英语思考，从而停止在大脑里翻译。
I have got five steps.
总共分为五步。
They may seem simple at first glance, but the devil is in the detail.
乍一看，它们似乎很简单，但细节才是最折磨人的。
If you follow these five steps, you"ll be well on your way to thinking completely in English with no need for translating in your head.
如果你遵循了这五个步骤，你将会完全的进入到英语思维之中而不需要在脑子里进行任何翻译。
Right, let"s get started with step number one, word identification.
好的，让我们开始第一步，单词识别。
So when you"re training yourself to think in English or any other language, the first thing you should do is start with simple words.
当你进行训练自己用英语或者其他任何语言思考时，最开始要做的就是从简单的单词开始。
When we are children learning a language for the very first time, we start off with individual words, so that"s what we"re going to do here.
当我们还是儿童的时候，第一次学习语言就是从单个单词开始的，所以这就是为什么我们要从这里开始。
Wherever you are, whenever you become aware of the fact that you have an opportunity to learn some English, you might be on the bus, you might be walking somewhere, you might be sat at home like a lot of us are at the moment.
无论你身在何处，无论你何时意识到你有机会学英语，你可能是在公交车上，或者在某些地方散步，或者就像目前我们大多数人一样待在家里。
Look around you, what do you see, start picking out words from your surroundings.
看一下你周围，你能看到什么东西，开始从你周围的环境中挑选词语。
They"ll probably be nouns at first so I can see windows, curtains, radiators, boxes "cause we"ve just moved.
它们一开始可能是名词，例如我看到了窗户，窗帘，暖气，盒子，因为我们刚搬来。
If you identify a word that you don"t know in English, you"re going to need to note it down, but I don"t want you to write it down in your own language.
如果你发现有些词语你不知道它的英文是什么，你就需要把它们记下来，但我不建议你用母语将它写下来。
I want you to describe it using the language that you do already have.
我要用你已经掌握的语言对它进行描述。
We need to get out of the habit of relying on our first language.
我们需要摆脱依赖第一语言的习惯影响。
At the end of the day, look at your new word list and go through Google in English preferably, trying to work out what all of these things are.
一天结束的时候，看看你的新单词列表，利用Google查询，最好用英语，努力找出什么这些单词都是什么。
Now let"s move on to step number two which is silent narration.
现在我们继续第二步，即无声的叙述。
When we"re small children, we start with words and we move on to simple short sentences and then as we grow older they become more complex.
小时候我们从单词开始，然后我们学习简单的短句，然后随着年龄的增长它们变得更加复杂。
It"s exactly the same when you learn a second language or additional language.
当你学习第二语言或其它语言的时候，这是完全一样的。
Just like we did in step one, I want you to look around but think more about what is happening rather than what there is.
就像我们在第一步中所做的一样，我要你环顾四周，但多想一想发生了什么事，而不是这是什么。
Narrate what you are doing, what animals are doing, what is happening around you.
叙述你在做什么，动物在做什么，你周围发生了什么。
So this means you"re going to start needing to use verbs.
所以这意味着你要开始需要使用动词了。
Every time you come across something that confuses you, something you don"t know how to describe or narrate in your head, you need to note it down to ask your teacher or language partner.
每次遇到让你困惑的事情，你不知道如何描述或在你脑海里叙述的东西，你需要把它记下来，问问你的老师或语言搭档。
Which brings me on to step three.
这就要说到第三步了。
Step three is daily correction.
第三步是每日订正。
You need correction ideally every single day.
理想的情况下，你每天都需要进行订正。
It"s very, very difficult to learn a language to a fluent level without having someone else help you.
要在没有人帮你的情况下把一门语言学到流利的程度是非常非常困难的。
To keep your mind connected to English all the time, it is important that you study every day.
要让自己一直保持英语思维，每天学习是很重要的。
The best possible way of doing this is taking a proper English class with a native-speaking qualified teacher every single day.
最好的方法就是上一门合适的英语课，与讲母语的有资质的老师每天大量的交流。
Step four is self-conversation.
第四步是自我对话。
Having conversations with yourself.
与自己交谈。
It sounds like something a crazy person might do, but actually it"s not at all crazy, it"s very, very useful.
这听起来好像是一个疯子才会做的事情，但实际上它根本不疯狂，这非常非常有用。
This is going to help you practise asking questions and giving replies.
这将帮助你练习提问并回答问题。
It"s training you to go through the motions of having a conversation in another language.
它训练你用另一种语言进行对话。
It seems simple, but you"ve got to force yourself to do it.
这看起来很简单，但是你必须强迫自己这样做。
Not only is this going to help you train yourself to think in English, it"s also going to help you with your general conversation in English.
这不仅可以帮助你训练自己用英语思考，它也会帮助你用英语进行一般性的对话。
When you become stuck, don"t forget to note it down and then bring it to your teacher or your language partner and they should be able to help you.
当你陷入困境时，别忘记把它记下来，然后告诉你的老师或语言搭档，他们应该能够为你提供帮助。
Now, if you do this enough, if you have enough conversations with yourself in English or your chosen language, you might find that you start to automatically think in English without even trying.
如果你做得到位，如果你用英语或目标与进行了充分的自我对话，你可能会发现自己开始自动用英语思考。
It happens to me in Spanish all the time.
我学习西班牙语的时候就是这样。
I was so obsessed with Spanish when I was really in the process of learning it.
我在学习西班牙语的过程中非常投入。
I"m always learning, but when I was really trying to get to that fluent level, I always used to chat to myself in Spanish, out loud at home and in my head when I was in public.
我一直在学习，但是当我想要达到流利的水平，我以前经常用西班牙语跟自己聊天在家就大声说话，在公众场合就进行心里的对话。
Even now, I"ve lived away from Spain since 2014 so, six years but I still think in Spanish.
即使是现在，从2014年开始我就没有在西班牙居住了，所以已经六年了，但我仍然用西班牙语思考。
I"m going to talk about this more in step number five, but what you"re doing here is mimicking immersion.
我要在第五步里进一步谈谈这一点，你们在这里要做的就是沉浸式的模仿。
By always having English going on in your head you are mimicking being in England and having English conversations or any other English-speaking country, of course, I"m not biassed, well, I totally I"m.
将你整个思考方式沉浸在英语中，假装你身在英国，并进行英语对话，或其他任何说英语的国家，我完全没有任何偏见，好吧，我有。
And step number five is actually immersion or near immersion.
第五步就是沉浸或接近沉浸。
Full immersion surrounding yourself by English isn"t totally possible for everyone.
让英语完全浸入到你的环境之中并非对所有人来说都能实现。

Something that seems very mundane and would be very mundane for native speakers, but mundane is what you want, it"s the every day immersion.
在母语者眼中，一些看起来很平凡，对母语者来说很平常的东西正是你想要的，这就是日常沉浸。
Another great option is making friends and speaking with natives.
另一个不错的选择是结交朋友以及跟母语者说话。
I have a whole video about this.
我有一个视频是专门讲这个的。
Many people find this very difficult, which is why I made the video to help you out.
许多人觉得这很困难，这就是为什么我做了视频来帮助你们。
I"ll put it up there and I"ll also link it in the description box, but in general, people feel like there are more students wanting to learn English than there are English speakers wanting to speak to students.
我把它上传了，我还在描述栏里放了链接，但是一般来说，人们觉得想要学习英语的学生比想要跟学生对话的说英语的人要多得多。
And this is true, but there are ways around that.
