Now again about those electronic dictionaries, sometimes like especially when people are trying to write,
我再说一下电子词典方面的事情，有时候，尤其是当人们在写作的时候，
they will write a sentence in their native language and then press translate on this dictionary, and get a sentence in English.
他们会用母语写一个句子，然后按词典上的翻译键，接着就能得到一个英语的句子。
Now I've seen sentences that I knew came from the dic... from the electronic dictionary, because they made no sense.
我看到过一些我一眼就知道是从电子词典中翻译来的句子，因为它们根本讲不通。
Okay? They were terrible terrible sentences, don't do that, okay?
那些句子超级超级糟糕，不要这么做好吗？
The people who made these dictionaries might not know English very well, keep that in mind, okay?
那些制造这些电子词典的人也许并不是很懂英语，记住这一点。
So these are some ideas, now I'm going to tell you what I think are the best ideas to increase your vocabulary.
以上是我告诉你们的一些想法，现在我要跟你们讲我认为的增加词汇量最好的方法。
Okay, so now we're going to look at a couple of other ways you can increase your vocabulary.
现在我们要来看几个能帮你们增加词汇量的其他方法。
These are very effective but they take a lot of patience, a lot of perseverance.
下面的这些方法非常有效，但是需要很多耐心和很大的毅力。
You have to try hard, you have to keep doing it because vocabulary, not so easy right?
你们必须努力，必须坚持，因为增加词汇量可不是件简单的事，不是吗？
Okay, so first we're going to start with cards.
好了，首先我们要从卡片开始。
You get yourself a stack of cards, maybe this big, not too big, because you want to carry them in your pocket, take them with you everywhere you go, okay?
你们要给自己准备一叠卡片，也许这么大，不要太大了，因为你们要把它们放在口袋里，去哪儿都要随身带着。
On one side of the cards, you're going to write words, four maybe five words that are new words for you.
在卡片的一面，你们要写上四五个新单词。
You're going to write sentences on the back, on the other side of the card.
在卡片的另一面也就是背面，你们要写下句子。
You're going to use these words in sentences so you have a clear meaning or you can write the meaning of the word, dictionary meaning, both okay.
你们要把这些单词用到句子里去，这样你们就有一个清楚的含义，或者你们也可以写下这个单词的意思，字典上的释义，两种都可以。
Now you're going to split your cards into three piles, okay?
然后你们要把这些卡片分成三摞。
You can like have the pile of cards of words that you know, words you're very comfortable with, eventually you will have a pile like this.
你们可以分出一摞写着你们认识的单词的卡片，就是那些很顺口的单词，最终你们会得到像这样的一摞卡片。
Words that you're very comfortable with, you know them very well, you don't need to look at these cards very often, okay?
这一摞是你们觉得很舒服、非常了解的单词，这些卡片不需要你们很频繁地去看。
Now before I continue, where do you get these words?
在继续之前，我问一下你们知道从哪儿找这些单词吗？
Get from a TOEFL site or an IELTS site or an SAT site or an SAT book, for example they have lists of words that you need to learn.
从托福或者雅思网站上找，或者SAT网站或SAT书，上面有很多你们要学的单词。
Put all these words on cards, split them up like this.
把所有这些单词写在卡片上，然后像这样把它们分出来。
You know these words very well, don't need to look at.
如果你们对这些单词很熟知的话，就不需要看了。
