跟大部分同齡人一樣, 作為祖國的“老花朵”, 我也是學(xué)著“I am fine, thank you, and you?”長大的一代肖卧。剛?cè)肼毜臅r候谤逼,面對兩位完全不懂中文的老板, 面對一群完全不懂中文的teammates, 我不習(xí)慣拦宣,甚至隱隱有些恐懼與同事的溝通交流养盗。怕露怯袱巨,怕聽不懂,怕Chinglish昵观,但是內(nèi)心卻極其不滿意自己的這種狀態(tài)晾腔。
出來混總是要還的,現(xiàn)在流下的淚完全是大學(xué)時期腦子里進(jìn)的水啊犬。于是幾乎每一封英文郵件我都會仔細(xì)研讀灼擂,從遣詞造句,到背后隱藏的西方思維觉至。于是美劇不再是休閑消遣的選擇剔应,我會把一部老友記翻來覆去看上幾十遍,目標(biāo)是達(dá)到可以背誦臺詞的程度语御。于是我強(qiáng)迫自己不再懼怕用英文溝通峻贮,聽不懂又怎樣,不是還有個萬能的 “Sorry?” 嘛应闯。無自虐纤控,不人生。
浸潤式學(xué)習(xí)很重要碉纺,不要再把過多的時間浪費(fèi)在背誦單詞上船万,don't get me wrong, 并不是說單詞不重要,而是要盡可能地沉浸在英語語言環(huán)境里骨田,美劇耿导、脫口秀、英文歌曲态贤,不管聽不聽得懂舱呻,泡在里面就對了。拜托都已經(jīng)是2017年了抵卫,不要再給自己找借口狮荔,畢竟周圍有太多從未出國,但是口語依舊地道的大牛們介粘。
雖然努力來得晚了一些殖氏,但是只要開始,一切都會慢慢好起來姻采。
“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear, the brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you will be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey.”
那些沒有消滅你的事情雅采,都會讓你更強(qiáng)大。
拿出小本本,跟大家一起分享地道的職場英語用法婚瓜,都是從外國同事的郵件里摘取宝鼓,原汁原味兒,今天的分享多是日常工作的溝通交流中很有可能會用到的巴刻,如遇到類似情景愚铡,可以直接Pick up。
