每天吃早餐的时候计划几分钟。
Talk show host : Now ,sorry for saying this but your ideas may sound a little simplistic to our audience.
哦，对不起，但是你的意见对我们观众来说太简单了。
I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years and I didn’t become a proficient speaker of the language.
我意思是我在高年级学了四年的西班牙语，但是我并没有成为一个语言专家。
Dr.Adams: Well , I think there are many people that feel that way ,and that’s just it,
好，很多人都有同感，我要说的就是关于这个的，
I’m not implying that we can become people fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there.
我的意思不是说我们能成为时不时流利地说几分钟话的人，
but rather a regular ,consistent ,and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised language of language mastery.
而是我们能成为一个始终能流利说话的人，专注于一门语言的学习可以帮助我们掌握我们期望学习的语言。
and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
记住，母语的流利和对一门语言的精通是有区别的，等会儿我会提出我的观点。

Dr.Adams: Well, as I just mentioned ,people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning.
如我刚才所说，我们需要在一起开始学习语言就得准备一个切实可行的目标。

only to become disenchanted when they don’t perform up their expectations.
当他们不能完成他们的期望，他们就变得不抱幻想。
And small steps ,little by little ,are the key.
一步一步，一点一点的是关键。
For example ,planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
例如，一天计划去学五个新单词，再积极地去用它，而不是一天学30个，第二天又忘了。

在早上，当我在为我的煎蛋卷切土豆和洋葱。
