| 10 | And every time someone asks me this question, | 每次有人问我这个问题 |
| 11 | I honestly struggle to respond | 我真的很难回应 |
| 12 | because I personally have mixed feelings about this. | 因为我个人对此有好坏参半的感觉 |
| 13 | Because on one hand, | 因为一方面, |
| 14 | I do feel like pronunciation is really important. | 我觉得发音很重要 |
| 15 | Those little sounds are the foundations of any language | 这些小声音是任何语言的基础 |
| 16 | and it's important to get the foundations right, right? | 和它的重要性 使基础正确,对不对? |
| 17 | But on the other hand, | 但另一方面, |
| 18 | I do feel like sometimes people can get a little too obsessed | 我觉得有时候人们会太着迷 |
| 19 | with this idea of sounding like a native speaker | 和这个想法 听起来像一个母语 |
| 20 | or having the perfect accent. | 或有完美的口音。 |
| 21 | So today I wanna talk about fluency, accents, identity, | 今天我想谈谈流利 口音 身份 |
| 22 | and why I don't think your overall goal | 为何我不认为你的总体目标 |
| 23 | should be to sound exactly like a native speaker. | 应该听起来像一个母语。 |
| 24 | So let's start with fluency | 我们从流利开始 |
| 25 | because I feel like a lot of people don't really agree | 因为我觉得很多人不太同意 |
| 26 | on what fluency actually means. | 关于流利实际上意味着什么。 |
| 27 | And I think a lot of people confuse fluency with perfection. | 我认为很多人把流利和完美混为一谈。 |
| 28 | You think that once you're fluent in another language, | 你以为一旦你精通另一种语言 |
| 29 | no matter the language, | 无论语言如何 |
| 30 | then that means you're never gonna make any mistakes. | 那表示你永远不会犯错 |
| 31 | You're gonna sound exactly like a native speaker. | 你会听起来像一个母语。 |
| 32 | You'll never forget a word. | 你永远不会忘记一个字。 |
| 33 | You'll never draw a blank on how to express something | 你永远也不会在如何表达东西上划出空白 |
| 34 | and you're gonna have a perfect accent. | 你会有一个完美的口音。 |
| 35 | But I don't think that's what fluency really means. | 但我不认为那才是流利的真正含义. |
| 36 | In my opinion, | 我认为, |
| 37 | fluency is more about your ability to communicate. | 流利更在于你的沟通能力. |
| 38 | Being fluent or having fluency | 流利或流利 |
| 39 | just means that you can smoothly and naturally | 就是说,你可以 顺利和自然地 |
| 40 | express your ideas, your opinions, your thoughts, | 表达你的想法 意见 思想 |
| 41 | and you can have a real conversation | 你可以好好谈谈 |
| 42 | without feeling stressed | 没有感觉压力 |
| 43 | or without really, really struggling. | 或者没有真正的,真正的挣扎。 |
| 44 | If you're fluent, you should be able to have conversations | 如果你是流利的, 你应该能够有谈话 |
| 45 | that flow really naturally | 自然流动 |
| 46 | and it just feels kind of like second nature. | 感觉就像第二大自然 |
| 47 | I don't think fluency means perfection | 我不认为流利意味着完美 |
| 48 | because even when you look at native speakers, | 因为即使你看着讲母语的人, |
| 49 | they make mistakes too. | 他们也会犯错 |
| 50 | For myself, I'm a native English speaker | 对我自己来说,我是讲英语的 |
| 51 | but sometimes when I'm just talking naturally, | 但有时当我只是说自然, |
| 52 | maybe I'll say something grammatically incorrect | 也许我会说错话 |
| 53 | or sometimes I draw a blank. | 或者有时我画一个空白。 |

| 55 | I kind of stumble over my words and that's totally natural. | 我有点不知所措 这很自然 |
| 56 | It's human to make those kinds of mistakes | 犯这种错误是人类的 |
| 57 | and I'm sure that when you speak in your native language, | 我敢肯定,当你用你的母语说话, |
| 58 | you also do similar kinds of things. | 你也会做类似的事情。 |
| 59 | So language doesn't have to be perfect all the time. | 故语言不须无尽. |
| 60 | That's really impossible if you think about it. | 想想看这是不可能的 |
| 61 | Fluency is more about your ability to communicate. | 流利更在于你的沟通能力. |
| 62 | This leads us to another very interesting question | 这给我们带来了另一个非常有趣的问题 |
| 63 | which is what exactly is standard English? | 什么是标准英语? |
| 64 | I find this question very interesting | 我觉得这个问题很有趣 |
