看美剧学英语方法：这样看美剧，才能真正学好英语
别以为每天看不同的美剧就能很好的学习英语，你应该根据自己的英语状况选择不同的美剧来学习。以下这个参考，希望能对那些看美剧没收获的童鞋一些学习上的建议。
常听很多同学讨论用美剧学习英语到底有没有用，以及用哪部美剧练习等问题，我想说的是这只是一个参考，世界上没有绝对的事情，究竟有没有用看个人，如果学了几年甚至十几年的你到现在还无法衡量自己的英语水平或者依旧被英语牵着鼻子走，我只能说我很抱歉，我觉得这不仅是个人的悲哀更是中国教育的悲哀。即使用美剧学英语是一条完美的妙计，又有几个人能真的做到呢？
1、不是所有的美剧都适合学英语
如果喜欢看《24小时》这样的动作片，那你基本会讲一口流利的“呯……轰……啊”之类的开枪爆炸声英语。如果你喜欢看如《豪斯医生》这种专业性很强的片子，那你基本会讲一些如 MRI，CT，Tumor之类的连自己都不明白的江湖郎中英语。如果看的是《越狱》，基本不用举手，别人就知道你是黑手党的了。不是所有剧集都适合模仿的，用来学习的，是要有一定对话量，生活化的，平民化的片子。
2、开着字幕看是没有前途的
很多人喜欢开着字幕看，觉得会有参照更有帮助，其实这是在拖你的后腿。中文是母语，对我们的眼球来说有无比强大的吸引力，只要在那里，你一定会看，就像放个美女在眼前，男人一定会看。一般人永远会不自觉通过中文字幕理解英语，而不是通过听懂-理解-记忆-重复，这样的过程学到英语。
3、看一遍是不够的
看一遍根本不能叫学英语，充其量只能叫娱乐。如果是抱着学习的目的，必须反复看，精听，理解句子词语的意思，为我所用才行。如果看一遍，基本你就被情节彻底打败了，或哭或笑，反复思考自己该拥有HEROES里的哪种超能力，担心下集可以下载前的日子该怎么过，哪还有心思管学英语这码事，哪怕讲的是柬埔寨语都无所谓。所以先看个几遍，基本达到对剧情已经免疫的程度，如看《老友记》看到已经笑不出来的时候，差不多可以洗干净耳朵仔细听了。
我有一个学生，通过看美剧的方法，在两个月的时间内将《欲望都市》看了四至五遍，托福听力由原先的20分的水平升至了满分。她的做法就是，找到一部自己很喜欢的美剧，然后先看一遍带中文字幕的。了解了大致的剧情，满足了自己休闲娱乐的好奇心，然后第二，三遍的时候开始看带双语字幕，遇到不认识的生词，就停下来查一查，然后记录。这样虽然比较费时，但是相比死气沉沉地不停地听抄听写，已经要生动很多。经过一段时间的积累，已经记了满满一本的生词和句型。这个时候，再去看第四遍和第五遍，完全脱离拐杖，不带中英字幕。经过前面的积累，这时候再看情节已经轻松很多，并且能够深入理解每个人物在说这句对白时候的动机和理由，对语言本身的理解也更深入了一步。于此同时，进行一下跟读。比如，听到一个人物的口语很好听，发音标准优雅，就刻意地进行一下模仿，体会一下她的语音、语调、重音、节奏。这样在训练了听力的前提下，口语水平也会有大幅度地提升。要知道美剧当中的对白和旁白是最好的口语学习范本。
在看美剧学习语言的时候要注意些什么？首先，注意发音。对于任何一门语言，语音是基础，它不仅包括单词的发音，还包括真实交际中词汇、习语的连读、失爆、弱化、浊化、重音、缩读等一系列的音变形式。至于语调节奏，则是地道流利表达英语的润滑剂，没有接触过地道的外国人，没有和他们有过面对面的交谈，是很难感受到语调节奏在表达思想中的巨大作用和强大震撼力的。因此要仔细地体会美剧之中，人物的发音和表达之中的语言习惯。其次，了解文化。语言是文化的载体，用词和句式使用是否准确直接体现了对异国文化了解的程度。可以说，发音好其实只是与美国人的语言形似，如果能够掌握美国人的思维习惯和文化，用美国文化去思维，则可达到神似的效果。这就是一种立体的学习方式，美剧则是这种学习方法最好的媒介。
一、准备好笔和纸，将笔放在鼠标旁边，将便笺放在屏幕和座椅之间，作好随时停顿和记录的预备动作。
二、只记录能引发自己内心感触和共鸣的语句和一些符合自身个性特色的句型及语法。
三、记录的时候最好不要分析思考和尝试记忆，待整个影片观看完毕之后，将统一回顾和整理。
四、一部章节或一部电影里面的典型句子和精彩对白记录完毕之后，一定要趁热打铁，想办法用上。（如通过写博客或者到英语角去操练。如果有参加培训班的话，一定不要放过任何能锻炼自己演讲口才的机会。）
五、再告诉大家一个绝活：如果你发现了那种让自己百看不厌的经典英文影片，不妨通过全能音频转换通软件将它的MP3提取出来，然后到网站上下载完整的英文字幕，再用LRC歌词编辑器将它做成同步显示歌词文本，放到自己的MP3或者电脑里，随时温习，处处操练。不知不觉这部影片的精髓尽入脑海，随时引用。从而达到通过影视学英语的最终目的。
不少英语学习者都有这样的困惑：学了十几年的英语，通过了考试，能完全听懂标准语速的英语新闻广播，可就是听（看）不懂英语原版影视剧（无中文字幕），这使他们开始怀疑自己的听力能力。
要解决这个问题，我们先来了解一下新闻英语和影视英语之间的区别。首先，两者在语体上有较大的区别。前者是书面语体的口头形式，用于正式的交际场合，经过加工和润饰，比较文雅，是合乎标准的书面语言，因而使较多使用长句、复句、结构严谨的完整句。布局层次分明、逻辑关系严谨是它的主要特征。后者为口头语体，以日常会话为基本形式，一般用于交际双方直接接触的场合，因而多使用短句、单句、省略句。随意性，不完整是它的主要特征。在英语学习过程中，我国的英语学习者接触的绝大部分是书面语体。而在英语影视剧中，口头体的语言材料是最重要的特征，具体表现为口语中流行的惯用表达方式、俚语以及相关的跨文化因素。其次，在语言材料的输出方面二者也存在较大的差异。英语新闻或英语故事通常是一人输出，输出者往往经过专业训练，发音标准流畅，语速均匀。以美国英语为例，语音输出速率一般在150音节/分钟，而在影视中，角色众多，根据剧情的要求，每个角色都有自身特有的语音、语调和语速，再加上连读、弱读等，这些都使其与英语学习都所熟悉的听力材料相差甚远，故造成了难以看（听）懂英语原版影视的情况。
因此，看原版英语影视剧是练习英语听说的最好途径，影视剧通过声音与图像共同组成了完整的信息，将视觉刺激和听觉刺激有效地结合在一起，这是其它学习手段所不能达到的，同时还可以调动学习英语的兴趣，做到寓学于乐。 给大家推荐几部我最喜欢用来正常学英语的美剧：
1、初级：Friends
Friends也就是《老友记》是经典中的经典，对于英语初级水平的朋友来说，是突破发音和对话交流最好的美剧。整个剧都是人物间谈话，而且都很简短，没有长句，词汇非常简单，基本是plain english的典范。我发觉自己的英文有明显的提升，就是在看这部剧多达十遍后。
2、中级：Desperate Housewives(绝望的主妇)
这部剧讲述的是美国中产阶级的故事，所以用词和语言非常标准，相对于Friends有更多的长句和表达，非常适合中级水平的朋友学习。
3、高级：The West Wing（白宫风云）
这是关于美国白宫的政治题材美剧，整个剧基本都是对话，而且语速非常快，充斥着辩论和演讲，词汇也非常高级，听起来很有难度。如果能把这部剧都搞透了，英语水平就相当高了。
口语训练方法：英语口语练习和提高的第一步
口语训练的第一步就是练习流畅性 (fluency)。想张嘴，可脑子里全是中国字，英文单词就是蹦出不来。好不容易出来
口语训练的第一步就是练习流畅性 (fluency)。想张嘴，可脑子里全是中国字，英文单词就是蹦出不来。好不容易出来了，断断续续，磕磕巴巴，这种人的英语形象立刻灭掉。所以，首先要求你得有一定的词汇量。没有词汇量你说西北风啊。
什么样的词汇呢？首先是生活中的鸡零狗碎。要特别常用的。比如你早上起床，一睁眼，来个仰卧起坐。这时，你脑子里要快速地问自己：“仰卧起坐”英文怎么说？一查，situp, 好，嘟囔几遍。该奔厕所了，“小便”怎么说？一边尿一边查字典，原来是 pee 或 piss, pass water. 举一反三，“大便”怎么说？poo, shit, crap.“放屁”怎么说？哎，自己学这么长时间英文了，连放屁都不会，真是无地自容。赶快查，原来是 break wind。我放了个屁：I just broke wind. 或者俗一点：I farted. 你看，学英语好玩吧？色香味俱全。
紧接着，刷牙，brush my teeth. 漱口，坏了，“漱口”还真不会。查！原来是 rinse. I’m rinsing out my mouth. 洗完脸，用 swab 掏掏耳朵。
你发现了吗？要想学好英语，脑子里总得有个意识：平时常用的中文，换了英文怎么说？等你把常用的中文全能用英文表达了，你就了不得了。你从中文到英文的这座桥就算搭起来了。
考你一个名词。天热起来了，“西瓜”怎么说？watermelon, 正确。那“西瓜皮”呢？歇了吧？watermelon rind. “香蕉”怎么说？banana，“香蕉皮”呢？banana skin。稍安勿躁，这些可都不是什么难词啊。连这些小东东都不能脱口而出，你怎么表达复杂的事情啊。
厨房里最常用的蔬菜是什么？葱。你去问问自称英语好的人，有几个知道葱怎么说？美国人用 green onion, 或者scallion, 英国人常用的是spring onion；“条帚”怎么说？broom；“簸箕”呢？dustpan. 抹布？cloth / rag. “暖
壶” 常用吧？vacuum flask；“指甲刀”怎么说？nail-clipper；“苍蝇拍”呢？fly-swatter；“痒痒挠”呢？scratcher。 Sorry, 有点 ramble 了。这些词用得并不频繁。言归正转。谈谈动词。“抬头”怎么说：look up 或 raise one’s head；低头：bow / lower one’s head；“打响指”怎么说？snap / click one’s fingers；常见有人两拳一抱，把关节掰得咯咯作响，你怎么形容这个动作? He’s cracking his knuckles.
说说形容词吧。管老师懂得享受生活，吃了个大肚子，potbellied. 现在注重健康了，开始锻炼身体了，也就越来越 burly 了。不过不能太瘦，又瘦又长，那叫lanky，不是什么好词。女孩子当然喜欢苗条一点，slim, 但太瘦，太骨感，就成了bony了。多数男人喜欢 plump 的，丰满一点，有感觉。最有杀伤力的是那种 curvaceous 或者 willowy 的，曲线玲珑，如果走起路来再懂得 sway her hips, my God, 花枝摇曳，迎风乱抖，陡增我等命丧车轮之概率，居心何其凶险。为了把英语拿下，我等一定要保重身体。身体好，容光焕发，叫 radiant, 你也可以说他 / 她：You're glowing today (今天气色不错啊)。生了病会变成 pale 或者ashen / sallow，那可就难看了。
所以，练习口语的第一步是什么？先记住身边最简单的东西。备本汉英字典，随时查找到嘴边的单词（主要是名词、动词和形容词），并且要能在1/10秒钟之内脱口而出。能把常用的单词脱口而出，你就能唬倒一大片了。这时你会发现自己像个刚学会走路的tiny tot, 无视障碍，只走直线，磕得帮帮作响，依然乐在其中。高手一听，虽然有点中国式英文，但是他会理解并祝福你的，因为你的口语已经做好真正起飞的准备了。Dude, you’re waiting in the wings!

Conversation 1:Pan's family is big and tradional.
Alice: How many people are there in your family?
Pam: There are 15 people in my family.
Alice: What did you say? How many?
14
Pam: 15 people .
Alice: Wow. That is a very big family. Do you all live together?
Pam: Of course we do! My father's parents, Mum, Dad ,three unmarried aunts, two uncles, my two brothers, my three sisters and me.
Alice: But you don't live at home anymore.
Pam: Right,but that's where my heart is. But you're right,now there are only 14 living at home.
Alice: My goodness3! Your family must live in a huge house.
Pam: Yes. My family lives in rural4 Korea, near Pusan. We have a huge house.The first floor of the house is a part-time private school.In the afternoon, students come for special tutoring5 in biologgy, English, and math.
Alice: Wow! you grew up in a school! No wonder your English is excellent!
Pam: My aunts and uncles are all teachers.
Alice:You are so lucky!
Pam: I guess so. While growing up, I read hundreds of interesting English storybooks every year.
Alice: That's what i did in America. I was reading all the time. I was never a big TV watcher. TV wastes time.
Pam: I agree. Reading for fun is why all the English students at our family school have excellent English. All the students read 800 easy storybooks during their second year of studing English.
Alice: 800 books? I'm impressed!
Pam: My aunts studied in the American universities.They say that extensive6 reading for fun is the most effective way to improve your English.That's what they learn here in America.
Conversation 2 Alice's Family Setup Is Different.
Alice: How could you handle living in such a big family? Does everyone get along?
Pam: Sure. We love each other and take care of each other.
Alice: In such a big family, there must be a head. Who's the head of your family?
Pam: My grandpa. He has the final word about almost everything. My grandpa is “President,” and Grandma is “Vice-President.” My parents, uncles and aunts try to arrive at a consensus7 on important questions. They want to maintain8 family harmony. Everyone has high expectations of young people.
Alice: Is a family like yours common in South Korea?
Pam: No. Not anymore.Mine is highly9 educated but traditional family. Most South Korea families today are a lot smaller .In traditional families, the old people are well respected and taken good care of. How about your family?
Alice: My family setup is a bit different. In New York city, there're only three people, my mother,my stepfather and me. During this summertime, I fly out to California and live with my dad. Dad's getting married this summer to a woman with four young boys. I'm going to the wedding. After that, I'm not sure they'll have a room for me.
Pam: Of course there'll be a room for you!
Alice: To be blunt10, maybe I won't be able to get along with his new wife or her kids.
Pam: Yours is a modern family. I'm sure your dad loves you and would want you to stay for the summer. You just need to try your best to get along with your new stepmother and her boys.
Alice: But four boys!
Pam: It will be a new experience, and you might as well learn to adjust to changes.
Alice: You are right,Iguess.The world keeps changing, and so do families. But I like a small-sized or medium-sized family where everybody is equal to everybody else. That's what I want.
Pam: It is good to have goals in life. If California doesn't work out, come and visit me in Korea, OK?
Alice: That's a great idea!
Pam: We could share a room! It would be fun. And we could do some traveling around Korea. You could see for yourself what life in a big family is like!
Alice: That sounds like an excellent offer . I might take you up on that. Thank you for the wonderful invitation.

Cindy:You look unhappy this morning, Sharan. What's wrong?
Shaon: I'm unhappy. At breakfast this morning I had a big argument with my mum and dad.
Cindy: About what?
Sharon: My parents are bossy11.They're tyrannical, not democratic.They always want me to do what they think is important. They expect me to become something I'll never be.
Cindy: What do you mean?
Sharon: My father always wants me to go into business. He says making money is important. Mom is even worse. As a little girl,she dreamed of becoming a lawyer or an international businesswoman. Now she wants me to live out her dreams. Cindy: That sounds a little tricky12.
Sharon: That's for sure. I don't like lawyers and I don't want to be a businesswoman! I really hate school. High school will be all over in 6 month. Then I want to be a flight attendant13. Working for an international airline would be fun. I could travel aroud
