26. Hints[暗示] to Improve Spoken English提高英语口语须知 　　1. Speaking English fluently[adv.流利地,] and accurately[adv.准确地] is a goal of many people studying English in China. Fluency[n.流利] can be simply[adv.简单地] defined[定义] as being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying; speaking accurately[adv.准确地] means speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary. 1、流利并准确地说英语是中国许多英语学习者的一个目标。流利可简单也定义为“具有交流各种思想的能力，无须停下来对话题进行过多思考”。说舌准确的意思是“说话不犯语法错误和词汇错误”。 分析：define：定义， refine：提炼， confine：限制，禁闭； 单词：fluently=流利地； accuately=准确的； fluency=流利； simply=简单地； define=定义； 　　2. The problem is that many students find that if they try to speak fast, they make more mistakes. And, if they slow down, there may be fewer errors but it can sound unnatural. So, how do balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English? 　　2、问题在于：许多学生发现，如果他们试图讲得快，所犯错误就更多。如果他们讲话速度放慢，错误可能会减少，可是听上去就不自然。所以，英语口语的准确与流利，如何才能平衡起来呢? 3. It can depend on the manner[态度] in which one has studied English in the past. People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes. This can make them nervous or embarrassed[adj.尴尬的] about speaking English in public. As a result, their spoken English might not improve. This means that, although they know English grammar and vocabulary well, they might not be able to hold a good conversation. 单词：embarrassed=尴尬的； 　　3、这可能取决于一个人过去学习英语的态度。那些往往注重于说话准确的人们可能会发现，他们对犯错误操心过多。这可能导致他们在公众场合说英语感到紧张或尴尬。所以，他们的英语口语可能得不到提高。这就意味着，尽管他们掌握了英语语法，也熟悉英语词汇，他们可能不能成功地开展对话。 4. On the other hand, there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes. This willingness[意愿] to take risks helps them speak more fluidly[流动地]. But, if they make a lot of mistakes, they may find it difficult to get their ideas across. 单词：willingness=意愿；fluidly=流动地； 　　4、另一方面，有一些人真的很喜欢说话，而且就算讲错，他们都愿意试着说。这种敢于冒险的意愿帮助他们说得更流利。但是如果他们讲话错误百出，就会觉得很难表达自己的思想。 5. The debate[n.辩论] about which is more important-fluency or accu
