[生活美語] 如何透過電影學英文
Today, I had the opportunity to interview Howard and Wesley about learning English through movies. Here are some useful tips.
今天訪問了浩爾口筆譯 ft. 創譯兄弟 ，切磋看電影學英文的方式。浩爾和許皓老師分享了一些透過電影學英文的訣竅：
★★★★★★★★★★★★
1. When you watch a movie for the first time, don’t worry about anything. Just enjoy it. Find a movie that interests you. Do not read reviews ahead of time and accidentally spoil everything. If you want, you can jot down difficult words or confusing points during the film.
第一次看一部電影的時候，別擔心，享受電影就好。找一部感興趣的電影。不要先讀影評，免得不小心被爆雷了。過程中想記錄的話，可以記下幾個關鍵字或不太了解的點。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
2. Most people focus on reading the captions when they watch a movie. We recommend not doing this the first time and only focusing on the captions when you really need to understand something.
多數人看英文電影都專注在讀中文字幕。建議第一次看的時候不要只盯著字幕，不太理解的時候再看字幕就好。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
3. After the movie, look up the words you had difficulty understanding. You can also read about key elements that were confusing. Some points to consider are the plot, themes, and symbolisms. Read about the director’s thoughts on the film, and learn things that you did not initially discover. For entertainment, read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic to see what others think of the film.
可以查詢不理解的字詞。可以查找不太明白的情節細節。幾個重點可以參考：電影的情節、主題和象徵。也可以讀讀演員和導演的想法，了解沒注意到的彩蛋。也可以閱讀爛番茄、IMDb和Metacritic網站的影評自娛，也看看其他觀眾對電影的心得。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
4. If you have time, watch the movie again now that you have a better understanding of it. Analyze the film and focus on the parts you did not understand the first time.
現在對電影了解更深了，有時間的話可以再看一次電影，能把電影分析更透徹，專注在之前不理解的片段和語言細節上。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
5. Have a discussion with a friend. Better yet, watch the movie with a friend the second time and compare and contrast your reactions and thoughts. Learning should be a collaborative process!
跟朋友討論電影，甚至找朋友陪你「二刷」，討論比對自己兩次觀影的反應差異。學習應該是個協作的過程!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
6. Write a movie review for more practice! Write about the plot, actor performance, themes, and anything that comes to mind. Check your grammar on a site like Grammarly and publish your review! See what others say and edit your work. Use what you learn!
練習用英文寫影評。描述情節、演員表現、主題，以及任何想到的內容。用類似 Grammarly 的文法檢查網站調整文章後發佈！看看其他人對你的影評有什麼回應，運用所學！
★★★★★★★★★★★★
