你是不是觉得自己的英语进步停滞了？

Are you feeling stuck with your English?

我们会教你如何通过注重交流，而不是追求完美，变得自信又流利。

We'll show you how to become fearless and fluent by focusing on connection, not perfection.

本期节目由两位美国主持人带来：英语冒险家林赛·麦马洪，以及纽约电台女孩米歇尔·卡普兰，他们分别从科罗拉多和纽约市为你直播。

With your American hosts, Lindsey McMahon, the English adventurer, and Michelle Kaplan, the New York radio girl, coming to you from Colorado and New York City, USA.

你说英语出错的时候，会觉得自己很丢脸吗？

When you make a mistake in English, do you feel bad?

当你犯错时，该怎么换个角度去想？

How can you start to think differently when you make a mistake?

今天我们就来看看创业者和爱因斯坦是怎么看待犯错的，你也可以试着转变自己的心态。

Today, find out how entrepreneurs and Einstein think about making mistakes and how you can change your mindset as well.

你有没有过说完一段英文对话后，心里想着：其实我本可以说得更好的？

Have you ever left a conversation in English thinking, I know I could have said that better.

你心里是有想法的。

You had the ideas.

词汇你也有，可就在那一刻，你的英语就是没按你想的那样说出来。

You had vocabulary, but in the moment, your English didn't come out the way you wanted.

这正是中级英语学习者最大的烦恼之一。

That's one of the biggest frustrations for b two learners.

中级英语流利课程能帮你弥合‘你知道’和‘你实际能说出口’之间的差距。

The b two English fluency course helps you bridge the gap between what you know and what you can actually say in real conversations.

Michelle，我有个问题想快问你一下。

Michelle, I have a question for you real quick.

哦？什么问题？

Oh, what is it?

是这样的。

Yeah.

你犯错的时候是怎么应对的？

How do you do when you make a mistake?

你是怎么看待这件事的？

How do you think of that?

还是说，你对自己要求特别严？你觉得呢？

Or are you hard on yourself, Would you say?

说实话，我确实会因为犯错而对自己很苛刻，但我也知道不该这样。

I have to say that I I I can be a little bit hard on myself with mistakes, but I know that I shouldn't be.

不过，要真正做到不因为犯错就难过，真的挺难的。

But it it it is it's tricky to get in that mindset of not, you know, not feeling upset when you make a mistake.

你呢？

What about you?

是的。

Yeah.

我也是。

Same here.

过去我总是对自己特别严格。

I've historically been kinda hard on myself.

所以‘连接重于完美’这个理念，特别能引起我的共鸣。

That's why our idea of connection not perfection is so it resonates with me so much.

对吧？

Right?

这简直让我们能自由地专注于真正重要的事——建立联系。

It's it's almost like we are free to focus on the right thing, which is connecting.

不过说实话，我确实这样。

But, yeah, I would say I am yeah.

我会注意到自己的错误。

I do notice my mistakes.

我对自己的要求有点高。

I'm a little hard on myself.

我可能是自己最严厉的批评者。

I'm probably my worst critic.

是的。

Mhmm.

对。

Yeah.

我一想到这句话就特别有感触。

That's I always think of that quote.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

今天我们要跟大家分享一条爱因斯坦的名言。

So today, guys, we have a quote for you from Einstein.

当然，爱因斯坦说过很多著名的话。

Of course, Einstein had a lot of famous quotes.

有时候我还在想，这句话真是他说的吗？还是别人编的。

Sometimes I wonder if this is really Einstein's quote or someone else.

不过我们是在网上看到的，相信这条话能让你换个角度看自己的错误。

But we that's how we found it online, and this is going to inspire you to think differently about your mistakes.

米歇尔，你能把那句名言念出来吗？

Michelle, do you have the quote for us?

有的。

I do.

这句话是：从未犯过错误的人，也从未尝试过任何新事物。

The quote is anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

哦。

Oh.

真的特别有道理。

And it's just so true.

对吧？

Right?

听到这句话，你第一反应是什么？

What do you think when you hear that quote?

听起来还挺让人安心的。

It's kinda comforting.

我的意思是，从某种奇怪的角度来看，这句话让我想到，可能你也一样，如果你总是因为犯错而烦恼，那其实大可不必。

I mean, in a weird way because it it reminds me, you know, and it sounds like maybe for you too, if you tend to get, like, upset about mistakes, it just it just one of those things that is like, no.

不用这样。

No.

真的不用。

No.

犯错本来就是难免的。

Like, this is mistakes are supposed to happen.

如果你从不犯错，那说明你根本没在学习，也没在成长。

If you're not making mistakes, it means that you're not learning, you're not growing.

昨晚我刚看了个东西，他们在聊这个观点，我觉得我真该多提醒自己这一点。

I just was watching something last night and they were talking about that idea and I do I do need to remind myself of this more, I think.

对咱们的听众来说，这点特别重要，因为练英语确实容易让人紧张害怕，但犯错没关系，就把它当成过程的一部分好了。

But I mean, for our listeners, this is, I think, very important because practicing your English can be nerve racking and scary but the mistakes are okay and just look at it as a part of the process.

完全对。

Totally.

这真的取决于你身边都是些什么人。

And this really depends on who you surround yourself with.

比如在创业圈，尤其是初创公司和风投支持的那些公司里，人们反而为自己的错误感到自豪。

Like, know in the entrepreneurial world, like the startup world, venture funded startup world, the mistakes that people make, they're so proud of their mistakes.

他们常常用这样的方式开场：我五年前创办了第一家公司，那次失败得特别漂亮，或者我失败得特别惨。

They love to say they start their self intros with, I founded my first company five years ago, and I failed beautifully, or I failed, you know, hugely.

他们甚至会拿自己的失败当炫耀的资本。

They actually brag about their failures.

事实上，他们说风投更愿意投那些有过重大失败经历的人。

And actually, what they say is venture capitalists prefer to invest in someone who's had a big failure.

这其实意味着他们从中学到了东西。

Actually live, that means that they have learned.

如果你所有的公司都一路成功，或者这是你第二次创业，而上一次也大获成功，那反而是个危险信号。

It's actually a red flag if all of your companies have been successful, or it's your second venture, and your previous one was success.

这说明你可能没怎么学到东西。

It means you probably didn't learn as much.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

So mhmm.

是的。

Yeah.

所以犯错特别重要，但我知道很多人卡在完美主义里了。

So mistakes are so important, but we know a lot of you guys are stuck in perfectionism.

对吧，米歇尔？

Right, Michelle?

对。

Mhmm.

对。

Mhmm.

明白。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

这种追求完美的心态，有时候会让你原地不动。

This perfectionist outlook and, like, sometimes it can just lead you to stay still.

对吧？

Right?

我们可不想原地踏步。

And we don't wanna stay still.

我们希望一直向前走。

We wanna always move forward.

你犯了错但还在前进的时候，可能会被绊一下，小小地退一步。

When you make a mistake and you're you're you're moving forward, you might it might knock you back one little tiny bit.

但如果你根本不敢尝试，那就永远停在原地。

But if you don't even try, then you're just staying in the same place.

所以

So

没错。

Exactly.

正是如此。

Exactly.

所以我觉得这一点特别重要。

That's why it's so important, I think.

That's allearsenglish.com/letterbnumbertwo.

对。

Yeah.

我觉得关键在于培养一种新习惯，一种对待错误的新思维方式。

So I I think it's really about developing a new habit, a new way of thinking about mistakes.

真正重要的是，你意识到自己犯错后立刻采取什么行动。

It's really about what you do immediately after you realize you've made a mistake.

这才是唯一重要的事。

The only thing that matters.

你该怎么看待这件事呢？

It's how do you frame this?

每个人看世界的方式都不一样，那为什么不换个角度，想想‘哦，这样也好’呢？

We all see the world differently, so why not see it in a way of, oh, okay.

我犯了个错。

I made a mistake.

咱们现在纠正一下，然后继续往前走。

Let's let's let's correct it now and move on.

或者干脆别在意了，毕竟对面的人还在和我保持眼神交流，连接也没断。

Or let's not worry about it because the person in front of me is still making eye contact and I still have the connection.

对。

Right.

没错。

Right.

是吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

就是这样。

Exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

所以别太纠结于你的错误。

So don't worry about your mistakes.

就是说，我也说不好。

Just kind of I don't know.

对。

Yeah.

试着想想林赛提到的那些创业者。

Try and look at it as those entrepreneurs that Lindsay was talking about.

就想着，没错。

Try and be like, yeah.

这都是我成长过程中的一部分，其实是好事。

This is all part of my growing experience, and this is a this is a good thing.

犯错说明我在进步。

The mistakes mean that I'm learning.

我从错误中学习。

I learn from the mistakes.

太好了。

So good.

这就是今天的核心要点，也是我们想送给你们的建议。

So that's the takeaway for today, and that's what we wanna leave you guys with.

要学会接纳自己的错误。

Just be okay with your mistakes.

犯错之后，赶紧调整你的想法，你会看到惊人的进步，也能更自然地和母语者交流。

Change what you think about right after you make that mistake, and you're gonna see an amazing amount of improvement, and you're gonna be able to connect with native speakers.

太好了。

So good.
