After repeated requests from our readers, we’ve created this list of the 5 best movies to learn British English. Since we know that some of our English readers aren’t native speakers, and it’s common for them to be exposed to a less internationally-focused English (i.e US English), today we’ve decided to focus on British English alone.
在读者再三要求下,英语君做了一张学英音的电影推荐榜单,这个榜单上一共有5部电影。因为我们的母语不是英语,所以大多数人不是在传统的英语环境中长大的(例如:美式英语)。今天我决定单独说一说英式英语。
Before presenting our list, here are some tips on the most effective method for improving your English skills by watching movies:
在给大家看榜单之前,英语君先和大家分享几个关于看电影提高英语的有效方法:
For beginners, we suggest leaving the subtitles in your native language. Even though the subtitles may disrupt your attention, this preliminary exposure helps you pick up the language much in the same way as a baby with their first language. (Subconscious learning is still learning.)
如果你是一个初学者,我建议你保留中文字幕。虽然字幕会让你分心,但它能够让你像新生儿第一次接触母语那样去学习英语。(通过潜意识学习也是学习的一种嘛!)
Progressively, you will be able to watch the film with the English subtitles. Seeing the words in writing helps you understand what you may have missed between the two accents.
有了一定基础后,你就可以看只有英语字幕的电影了。一边听电影中的台词一边看字幕让你更加容易发现两个单词中你可能会遗漏的音节。
And finally, watch the movies with no subtitles, in their purest form. With a little experience, this method is by far the best for improving your English skills. Even if you can’t understand half of what’s going on, you still make huge progress. If you still have troubles, I suggest you learn a little more vocabulary and learn the pronunciation of each new word in both accents.
最后,你可以去掉所有字幕观看电影了,这才是观看电影最纯正的形式!只要有一点点经验,这个方法将会是你迄今为止提高英语最有效的方法。即使你不明白到底发生了什么,你仍然可以取得很大的进步。如果你对采取这种方法有困难,建议你提高词汇量以及学习一下每个单词的两种不同发音。
Even though I had read about it being one of the most effective methods, even I was a little bit of a skeptic at the beginning. And to my surprise, I saw my listening abilities increase by a huge margin with my Spanish skills, and quickly. Today, I can watch movies like Sin Nombre or Volver with no subtitles — and more enjoyably at that!
一开始,你们可能会对这种方法是否真的有效产生怀疑。和你们一样,英语君刚开始也是将信将疑。但练习了一段时间后,我发现自己的听力水平快和我中文一样好了。如今,我可以不加字幕看英语电影了!因此,必须要介绍给大家,皆大欢喜!
下面给大家推荐5部学英音必看的电影,大家记得采用英语君在上面分享的学习方法哦~
List of the Best Movies to Learn British English:
学习英式英语必看的5部电影:
TOP5:This Is England
第五名:《这就是英国》
The story of a young man from an English neighborhood who ends up bonding with a group ofskinheads. Little by little, they indoctrinate him to their ultra-nationalist and racist ideologies. The movie takes place in the East Midlands region in Northern England (between Newcastle and Derby). After some time, you’ll get used to the accent of Shaun and his little buddies.
这是一个少年与英国“光头仔”们的故事。渐渐地,光头仔们向主角灌输极端民族主义和种族歧视理念。这部电影拍摄于东米德兰兹,一个介于纽卡斯尔和德比之间的英格兰北部地区。如果你看了一段时间以后,你会熟悉Shaun以及他的伙伴们的口音的。
For those of you who are used to “BBC” English, this movie will pose some difficulties. However, what you’ll find here is one of the best movies to learn British English: Slang, informal language and political and social vocabulary, such as issues with racism and violence, form the core of this movie.
如果你们听惯了BBC式的英语,这部电影会稍微有些难懂。但是你会在这部电影中发现一个学英音的最好方法:电影里的俚语,非正式口语以及一些含政治和社会意味的词汇,例如种族歧视以及和暴力相关的争论。这才是这部电影的真正内涵。
