拒绝川式英语,瞬间提升英语N个的方法!!

“持续”读特朗普推特,真能提升英语自信?在翻吧里,曾经有一篇文章分析特朗普的语言风格,撰文,认为特朗普虽然在讲话里用的都是四五年级的“学生词汇”,可是他的一些表达,确实让人感觉并不像一个大企业总裁应有的素质。

其实特朗普的“大嘴”功力不一般。他的语言自带魔性,听上去笨拙可笑,美国媒体甚至发明了Trumpspeak、Trumpese来描述特朗普这种让人无法抗拒的语言风格。

在英语世界里,特朗普说的话,美国人还是听个基本明白。可是,对于非英语国家的人来说,要明白特朗普的话,那可就很费一番功夫了。有很多外国人在听完特朗普的演讲之后,纷纷到Twitter上吐槽——不是对特朗普的“奇谈妙论”发表意见,而是说根本听不太懂同传译者翻译之后是什么意思!

事实上,从2016年大选的时候,大家都领教过他“小学生一般的英语水平”,有网友甚至还开玩笑“听他说话,误以为自己的听力水平一夜之间突飞猛进!”批中国,批穆斯林,质疑奥巴马出生伪证,活生生把大选变成了一场闹剧:

I think that we should definitely disallow any Muslims from coming in. (批穆斯林)

  

I always said I wanted to know if it was real. There is certainly a chance that he was not born in this country. Now if he was not born in this country, that means he can’t be president.(质疑奥巴马出生证伪造)

好吧,说了这么多,为了照顾更多没看到的吃瓜观众,我们就来简单介绍一下所谓的“川普式”英语:

“川普式”英语有个最大的特点就是简单。简单到什么地步呢?下面是个图解例子,请自行感受:

当然,我们的川大叔更青睐的还是后面的表达方式呢。备考四级的筒子们可以来找一找丢了一地的…….即使是这样,川大叔还是一脸傲娇的说起他的自创式英语:

我就是我,颜色不一样的烟火。

更需要说的是!!!媒体还专门总结了特朗普最爱用的单词清单,快来看看,你们都认识几个?

小编表示,这种特别容易听懂的川普英语简直就是你英语入门砖啊…..废话不多说了,下面我们来系统的学习一下大叔的“川普式”英语:

前面我们也已经提到了简单这个特点,除了两张图解,下面这些例子会让你更深入的了解所谓的说简单话(Keep it simple是何种感念?

We must be smart!

我们应该放聪明点!

  

I’m really rich.

我真的很有钱。

  

Politicians are all talk, no action.

政客就知道耍嘴皮子,从来不行动。

你以为就这样了?美国有个用来界定文章难度的Flesch-Kincaid测试。经测试,特朗普的语言竟然跟四年级小孩差不多…….

哈哈哈哈哈,小编也忍不住变的魔性起来了……….

  

再举个例子:

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets.我们将战斗在海滩上,我们将战斗在敌人登陆的地方,我们将战斗在田野和街道上。

  

这是英国前首相丘吉尔说的一句话,不得不说,这段排比使用简直棒棒哒!有没有?然而,你再来看看川大叔的版本,是不是画风突变?

We’re going to do a wall; we’re going to have a big, fat beautiful door on the wall; we’re going to have people come in, but they’re going to come in legally.

小学生的词汇+重复的句式,是不是非常可爱?没错,喜欢不断重复重复重复说……..

下面,在说说川大叔喜欢用“very”- very very这件事,可以说是十分频繁的使用使用这类加强语气的词……

  

比如:

  

You have to be very vigilant as to who you have and where you’re coming from. The assimilation is very, very difficult.

你有哪些人、你从哪来,这些你必须十分警惕,因为把他们吸收进来非常非常难。

  

We will do very, very well, very, very well.

我们会做得非常非常好,非常非常好。

  

比如,使用最高级:

  

Hillary Clinton was the worst secretary of state in the history of the United States.

希拉里是美国史上最差的国务卿。

总之,诸如此类。  

最后,要说的是“川普式”英语的爱跑题和喜欢用修辞法。大家一定不知道川大叔喜欢在阐述自己观点的时候插入一些无关紧要的话,或者跟你唠唠家常啥的:

You know, one of the things with the, with our Japanese relationship, and I’m a big fan of Japan, by the way, I have many, many friends there. I do business with Japan. But, that, if we are attacked, they don’t have to do anything.

你知道,关于对日关系我想说的一点就是——顺便说下,我有很多很多朋友在那,我跟日本人做生意——但是,如果我们被袭击了,日本不需要做什么。

  

还有就是,川普叔有个修辞手法,英语中叫做punch line,意思是说一个笑话或某段文本末尾的妙语、警句、点题的话。

比如,一句话明明应该这么说:You can’t solve a problem until you find out what the root cause is.为了让重点的root cause出现在最后,他改成了:You can’t solve a problem until you find out what’s the root cause.

  

如果你有一点英语基础,瞬间能提升英语level的利器就是词汇(vocabulary)了。复杂的句式先别乱用,几个高大上一点的词汇就能装B成功~先定一个小目标,超越川普词汇量,你可以做到~毕竟人家词汇量在最近十五任美国总统中创了新低,小学四年级水平。
