Speaking of setting goals, having a plan to reach those goals and getting out of your comfort zone and interacting with real people,
说到设定目标，制定一个计划来达成目标，跳出舒适区，然后和真人进行交流，
I want to talk to you about the Lingoda language marathon.
那我就想和大家说说Lingoda语言马拉松了。
At the start of this lesson, I told you that this video is for the people who need to get results for a higher purpose in their life, to take their life forward, to get a visa, to pass an exam, to get a promotion.
在本节课程的开始，我告诉过大家这个视频是为了那些想要在生活中达成更好的目标的人，想让生活向更好的方向发展，想取得签证，想通过考试，或者是想要升职加薪的人量身定做的。
They need to get good fast.
他们需要又快又好地完成目标。
And if you are that person, I want you to pay attention for a few more minutes because this is going to be good.
如果这说的就是你的话，我希望大家再认真听几分钟，因为这会对大家非常有益的。
The Lingoda language marathon is a massive opportunity to boost your fluency in English in just three months.
Lingoda语言马拉松是在三个月内提升英语流利度的极好的机会。
It's very real and it's right here in front of you now.
这非常真真实，而且唾手可得。
In three months, you could become a completely different English speaking version of yourself.
在三个月的时间内，你能够变成完全不同的英语学习者。
Just think about that.
想一想吧。
The full marathon challenges you to take a class every single day for three months.
全程马拉松就是让你挑战在三个月的时间内每天上一节课。
What? It's a marathon not a stroll in the park!
什么？这是场马拉松，可不是在公园里溜达呢。
It will require effort and discipline and self-motivation but ask yourself this question: How much do you want to finally achieve your goals?
这需要努力、自我约束还有自我激励，但是问一下你自己这个问题：你想用多久来达成自己的目标呢？
Because you could spend the next year or two or three years floating around on your English-learning journey
因为你可以在接下来的一年、两年或者三年的时间里在你的英语学习之旅漫游，
taking your time watching videos, burying your head in textbooks or playing with language apps on your phone or whatever.
不慌不忙地看看视频，埋头在教科书之中，或者是在手机上玩一些语言软件。
Or you could leap forward in a short space of time, accelerate your progress and get the results that you really want by stepping outside of your comfort zone and taking action.
或者是你可以通过走出舒适区，采取行动，在短时间内迅速进步，加速进步的速度，获得你渴望的那些结果。
Through the marathon, you'll immerse yourself in language classes every single day.
通过马拉松，你可以每天都将自己沉浸在语言课程之中。
You'll practise your speaking and conversation skills with other people every single day.
每天你都可以和其他人练习说话交谈的技能。
Can you even imagine the transformation?
你能想象到其中的转变吗？
Can you imagine how confidently you'll speak in just three months instead of three years at this rate?
你能想象在三个月的时间内，而不是三年的时间内，你在交谈时会变得多么自信吗？
And here's the thing.
事情是这样子的。
If you complete the full marathon, if you attend every class for the whole three months, Lingoda will refund your money no questions asked.
如果你完成了完成的马拉松的话，如果你三个月的每节课程都参加的话，Lingoda会全数返还你交的钱。
Can you see why I'm sharing this with you?
大家现在知道我为什么要和大家分享了吧？
In just three months, you'll boost your English speaking skills and if you attend every class, it will quite literally cost you nothing.
在短短三个月的时间内，你的英语技能将迅速提升，如果你每节课都参加，这根本就不花你一分钱。
Your friends will be amazed, your family will be proud and everyone else you know who's learning English will be wondering "How on earth did you do it?"
你的朋友将会被你震惊，你的家人将会为你骄傲，你认识的每一个学英语的人都会想——你到底是怎么做到的呢？
I've talked about Lingoda before because I'm taking Spanish classes with them and I really think that they're the perfect solution for me.
我之前也说过Lingoda的事情，因为我在上西班牙语的课程，我真的觉得这非常适合我。
I'm busy and I'm kind of disorganised so the flexibility of their classes is just great!
我很忙，而且有点没啥条理，所以他们课程的自由灵活度非常适合我！
There are so many classes at any time of the day or night and there's lots of different topics too.
每天随时都有很多课程，涵盖不同的话题。
I can focus on particular grammar points that I know I need to improve or I can work on my listening skills.
我可以专攻于我知道我要提升的特定语法点，我也可以锻炼自己的听力技能。
And all the classes are small group classes which makes it really fun and it takes the pressure off you if there are other people around to answer questions too.
所有的课程都是小组课，这会更加有趣，如果有人在旁边回答问题的话，会减轻你的压力。
So when I heard about the language marathon, I was like wow!
所以当我听到语言马拉松这个项目的时候，我真的都震惊了呢！
Some of my students would love to know about this.
我的学生肯定很想知道。
I'm also thinking about doing it because I can actually do the marathon in Spanish or you could do it in German or French, of course in English, but also in business English
我也在考虑要加入，因为我可以进行西班牙语马拉松，大家也可以学习德语，或者是法语，或者是英语，当然也可以学习商务英语，
which is super awesome if you are using English in a professional context.
果你是在商务场合使用英语的话，那真的超级赞。
All right by now you're thinking: Well there's probably a few rules here that I need to know, right?
好的，现在你肯定在想：肯定有什么我需要知道的规则吧？
Do Lingoda make it hard to get the refund?
Lingoda退款是不是很难啊？
Well actually, no, not really but yes you're right, there are a few rules that you need to know.
其实呢，退款并不难，但是你想的是对的，确实有一些规则你需要知道。
The first thing that you need to know is that actually, there are two types of marathon.
第一件事就是你需要知道其实有两种类型的马拉松。
The full marathon and the half marathon.
全程马拉松和半程马拉松。
Both of them run for exactly three months.
它们都是为期三个月的时间。
This is when the next one's happening.
这就是下一个开始的时候。
But to enter, you need to make a commitment.
但是想要加入的话，你需要作出承诺。
You enroll and commit to a set number of classes at the beginning.
你加入之后，需要在开始的时候承诺参加一定数量的课程。
If you complete all of those classes within the three months of the marathon, you'll get your refund.
如果你在三个月的时间内完成了马拉松里面所有的课程的话，你就可以得到退款。
For the full marathon, you can enroll and commit to ninety classes
关于全程马拉松，你可以注册然后承诺参加90节课程，
and if you complete one class each day for the three months, you'll completely transform your English speaking and conversation skills but Lingoda will also offer you a one hundred percent refund.
如果你在三个月的时间内每天都完成一节课程的话，你就可以提升英语交流对话技能，而且Lingoda会全额退款。
They want you to immerse yourself in English and they're going to reward you for all of your hard work if you can do it.
他们想让你完全沉浸在英语当中，而且如果你能完成的话，他们会全额退款，表示对你努力学习的奖励。
For the half marathon, you need to enroll and commit to forty-five classes
对于半程马拉松而言呢，你需要注册，承诺参加四十五节课程，
and if you attend fifteen classes each month, no more than one each day, you will totally boost your speaking and conversation skills.
如果你每月都能参加十五节课程的话（每天不超过一节），你将迅速提升英语交流沟通技能。
Plus, Lingoda are going to offer you a fifty percent refund.
除此之外，Lingoda将退还你百分之五十的金额。
So if you're looking at the full marathon and you're thinking: I've got a full-time job and a family to look after, I just don't know if I've got that much time.
所以如果你想参加全程马拉松的话，你肯定在想：我有一份全职工作，也需要顾家，我不知道有没有那么多时间啊。
But you do really want to set yourself a good challenge for the next three months, then definitely have a look at the half marathon.
但是如果你真的想在接下来的三个月时间内给自己点挑战的话，那就看一下半程马拉松吧。
So how do you enter? Good question!
你该如何加入呢？好问题！

然后呢，你需要决定你要参加哪个马拉松。
You can do it as a beginner, as an intermediate student or as an advanced student which is super cool
你可以以初学者、中级水平或者高级水平学生的身份参加，这点非常赞，
because you could challenge a friend or a family member to do it with you even if they're not at the same level as you.
因为你能够邀请自己的朋友或者家人和你一起，即使你们并不在一个水平。
And there are limited places this year for the marathon so you do need to secure your place.

If there's one thing that I want you to take away from today's lesson, it's to take action.
如果这节课有什么大家一定要记住的事情的话，那就是一定要采取行动。
Now it could be really serious, deliberate action like signing up to the Lingoda language marathon but it could also be smaller but equally deliberate action.
注册Lingoda语言马拉松可能是非常严肃认真的行动，但是也可以是更小一点，但是也非常认真的行动。
A commitment to find a speaking partner in an online language group, for example.
比如说在线上英语小组寻找一个语伴。
Whatever it is, I hope that the experience is wonderful and a little uncomfortable, all right?
不管是什么，我希望这些经验都是很棒的，但是也有一点点不那么令人自在，是吧？
It's good to feel a little uncomfortable.
感到有点不自在真的挺好的。
Now if you want to keep practising with me right here, right now, then let's head over to this lesson for some extra speaking practice.
如果你想要继续和我进行练习的话，那就让我们跳到这节课程吧，进行更多的语言练习。
I'll see you in there!
再见！
