我们相信，学英语的关键在于连接，而不是完美。

We believe in connection, not perfection when it comes to learning English.

接下来是你们的主持人：英语冒险家林赛·麦马洪，和来自纽约的电台女孩米歇尔·卡普兰，她们分别从波士顿和纽约为大家带来节目。

Now here are your hosts, Lindsey McMahon, the English adventurer, and Michelle Kaplan, the New York radio girl coming to you from Boston and New York City USA.

你学英语的时候，是全心投入的吗？

Are you going wholeheartedly into learning English?

今天，我们来聊聊四个你可以问自己的关键问题，帮你认清自己到底有多投入英语学习。

Today, find out four key questions you can ask yourself to find out how invested you really are in your English learning.

不管你喜不喜欢，英语都会影响你被评价的方式，比如在会议、面试和谈判中。

English is part of how you're evaluated, whether you like it or not, in meetings, in interviews, in negotiations.

关键问题不在于你的英语够不够好。

The question isn't whether your English is okay or good enough.

而在于它是否真正为你服务。

It's whether it's working for you.

它有没有帮你拿到应得的晋升和加薪？

Is it getting you the promotions and the salary raises that you deserve?

如果没有，今年就该行动了。

If not, this is the year to do something about it.

我们的免费两分钟流利度测试，能帮你准确了解自己的英语水平——是B1、B2还是C1，并告诉你如何真正提升，助力职场和全球生活。

一切都挺好的。

你呢？你怎么样？

How are you?

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

我状态很好。

I'm doing great.

我特别高兴能来，因为我们今天要聊的是灵感。

I'm excited to be here because we are talking about inspiration.

我们希望给听众带来启发。

We wanna inspire our listeners.

没错，每一期都别错过

当然了

Absolutely.

那米歇尔，我问你个问题啊

So, Michelle, would you say well, let me ask you a question.

你准备好了吗

Are you ready?

准备好了

Yes.

好

Okay.

那我们开始吧

Here we go.

那你最近全心全意投入的一件事是什么？

So what is the last thing that you went into just fully just heart and soul?

你当时是百分之百地投入了。

You went into it a 100.

说实话，我觉得是婚姻。

I actually, now I'm gonna say I would say marriage.

这算是

That's a

不错，好。

good Okay.

挺有意思的。

Interesting.

我喜欢这个答案。

I like it.

再跟我们说说吧。

Tell us more.

是的。

Yeah.

我的意思是，嗯，

I mean, well,

当你

when

做出这种承诺的时候，就必须全心全意地投入。

you when you're making that kind of a commitment, it is you have to go into it wholeheartedly.

你得真诚。

You have to be true.

你得做自己，不能有所保留。

You have to be yourself, and you can't hold back.

对吧？

Right?

所以，没错，全心全意就是把自己完完全全地投入进去，毫不保留。

So, yeah, wholeheartedly, it's it's to put your whole self into something and without holding back.

所以在我看来，结婚的时候你必须全身心投入，不能留余地。

So you can't go into marriage without, you know, putting your whole self into it, in my opinion.

这非常重要。

It's very important.

所以，是的，我觉得我结婚时是全心全意的。

So, yeah, I would say I went wholeheartedly into marriage.

真了不起。

Wow.

太好了。

Good thing.

这样很好。

That's good.

我很喜欢这一点。

I love that.

我很喜欢这一点。

I love that.

为了帮我们的听众更清楚地理解‘全心全意’这个词到底是什么意思，我想再解释一下。

And just as a bonus to make sure our listeners understand what this word means wholeheartedly, what is what does it mean exactly?

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得我已经说过了，就是全身心投入一件事，毫不保留。

Well, I just I think I said it it it puts you put your whole self into something without holding back.

百分百。

100%.

对吧？

Right?

我们并不是对所有事情都这样。

And we don't do this with everything in the world.

对吧？

Right?

这一点我们其实都承认。

And we can admit that.

不是每个人在每件事上都能百分百投入。

Not everyone is a 100% on everything all the time.

要是非得这样，还没到中午我们就累垮了。

If we were, we'd be exhausted by halfway through the day.

没错。

That's right.

确实如此。

That's right.

正是这样。

Exactly.

所以，给大家分享一句话，是这样的。

So guys, here is a quote Yeah.

关于如何全心全意地投入。

About, you know, being wholehearted.

要想得到真正值得拥有的东西，就必须全身心地投入进去。

So it's, you have to go wholeheartedly into anything in order to achieve anything worth having.

哦，我喜欢这句话。

Oh, I love that.

我也特别喜欢。

Oh, I love it too.

而且这话真有道理，对吧？

And it's so true, isn't it?

你回想一下那些你只做了一半的事情——换句话说，就是敷衍了事。

If you think back to the the things that you went half I mean, the opposite of that would be half heartedly.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

敷衍了事。

Half heartedly.

想想那些项目最后怎么样了，全都没成气候。

If you think about what happened in the end to those projects, they just never panned out.

对吧？

Right?

最后都没什么结果。

They never panned out.

都没搞出什么像样的东西。

They never turned out into anything good.

没错。

Right.

对。

Right.

是啊。

Right.

就是这样。

Exactly.

所以，比如说琳赛，我们做这个播客是全心全意的，因为我们想给听众带来真正优质的内容。

So, I mean, like, for example, Lindsay, I think we go wholeheartedly into work on this podcast, you know, because we wanna make it really good for our listeners.

我们希望把事情做好。

We wanna do a good job.

我们希望真的能帮上忙。

We wanna be helpful.

所以我们全心全意地投入其中。

So we go wholeheartedly into that.

是的。

Yeah.

我们在录播的时候，脑子里想的都是你们。

I mean, we imagine you guys while we're behind this microphone.

我们觉得你们想用英语交流，而我们正好有办法帮你们做到。

We imagine that you wanna connect in English, and we have the tools to help you do it.

所以我们才这么用心地做这件事。

So that's why we put our wholehearts into it.

不过说到学英语，Michelle，我觉得听众们该问问自己几个关键问题。你们有空的时候，可以把这些问题写下来，好好想想自己的英语学习。

But when it comes to learning English, Michelle, I think there's some key questions that our listeners should ask themselves, and we want you guys to write down these questions to ask yourself later when you have the time, okay, about your English learning.

对吧，Michelle？

Right, Michelle?

对。

Right.

是的。

Yeah.

第一个问题是，你为什么要提高英语？

So one is why are you trying to improve your English?

对吧？

Right?

你到底是为了什么？

What's the reason?

对。

Yeah.

第二个问题是，你学英语是因为别人希望你学吗？

And then number two is, are you doing it because other people want you to do it?

你知道吗，生活中很多事情，毕竟我们都是人。

You know, there's a lot of things in life where, you know, we're human.

我们都希望别人喜欢自己。

We want people to like us.

我们都想和别人相处融洽。

We want to get along with people.

我们都希望被人爱。

We want people to love us.

对吧？

Right?

所以有时候，我们做一件事，可能只是因为别人希望我们这么做。

And so maybe we'll do something because someone else wants us to do it.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

是的

Yeah.

你真不该这么做。

You don't wanna do that.

这就引出了下一个问题：你做这件事，是因为你觉得你应该吗？

And then that that leads us to the next question, which is, are you doing it because you feel like you should?

哦，那个‘应该’。

Oh, the should.

那个‘应该’。

The should.

没错。

Right.

没错。

Right.

没错。

Right.

那个‘应该’。

The should.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

你想做一件事，是因为你真心想做。

You wanna do something because you wanna do it.

对吧？

Right?

最后一个问题是，不好意思。

And then the last question sorry.

说吧。

Go ahead.

有个问题，Michelle。

Question, Michelle.

我们这儿还剩几分钟。

We have a couple minutes here.

在节目快结束之前，你觉得你自己平时是不是经常用‘应该’这个词？

Before we get into the end here of the episode, do you feel like you use the word should a lot in your life?

当然了。

Of course.

我觉得这很自然。

I think it's just natural.

嗯，明白了。

Okay.

我不觉得这么说有什么特别深刻的含义，就是随口一说而已。

I don't think it says anything like, oh, deep deep about, oh, that I you know?

但确实，有很多事情是我们‘应该’做的。

But, yeah, there's a lot of things that we should do.

对吧？

Right?

我们并不总抽得出时间去做这些事。

We don't always have the time to do them.

是的。

But Yeah.

对。

Mhmm.

没错。

Yeah.

我觉得我确实用得挺多的。

I think I think I use it a lot.

你呢？

What about you?

Listen to TED Talks daily wherever you get your podcast.

是的。

Yeah.

我想是吧。

I guess so.

但我认为我们得关注一下这个。

But I think we have to watch this.

对吧？

Right?

如果我们只是因为觉得‘应该’这么做，就为自己的行为找借口，那说明我们并不是真的觉得这件事是对的。

Because if we're justifying things that we do a lot because we feel like we should, that means that we're not necessarily doing it because it's the right thing.

而只是觉得有义务去做。

It's something that we're obligated to do.

我觉得，'应该'这个词用得有多频繁，其实特别能反映你生活得怎么样。

I think, you know, the frequency of the use of should is a really good barometer for how you're living your life.

我就是这么想的。

That's what I would say.

是的。

Yeah.

不对。

No.

这话说得对。

That's a good point.

没错，琳达，这确实是个很好的观点。

That is definitely a good point, Lindsay.

对。

Yeah.

那米歇尔，我们的听众接下来该问自己什么问题呢？

So Michelle, what's the next thing that our listeners should ask themselves?

你是说你想提高英语水平，却不愿意花时间去实现这个目标吗？

It's are you saying that you want to improve your English, but not putting time in the time to make that goal a reality?

对吧？

Right?

所以真正行动起来、付诸实践非常重要。

So actually doing it, taking action is very important.

各位，你们平时都在做些什么呢？

So guys, like, what are you doing?

对吧？

Right?

你嘴上这么说，可真没花时间去落实吗？

Are you saying it, but you're not really putting in the time?

哦，这个问题问得好。

Oh, Good good question.

对吧？

Right?

我觉得我可能会

I think I'd have

说到准备雅思考试，大家都知道我们有个《IELTS Energy》播客吧？

to call out a lot of our you know, when it comes to preparing for the IELTS exam, you know, guys, do know that we have the IELTS energy podcast?

你们可以去那里开始备考，但有些学生以为每天只学十分钟就能拿七分。

You can go over there and get started with your IELTS prep, but we have students who think that they can just get a band seven with ten minutes of study a day.

这根本不可能。

That's not possible.

对吧，米歇尔？

Right, Michelle?

没错。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

所以啊，大家不妨想想，你每天到底在做些什么来提升自己的英语？

So, I mean, guys, think to yourself, like, what are you actually doing every day to improve your English?

这个问题值得好好反思一下。

That is a good question to reflect on.

这才是关键问题，无论你是想认真学英语，还是想通过雅思，或者达成其他任何英语学习目标，都要抓住这一点。

That's the key question and go wholeheartedly into learning English or passing the IELTS or whatever it is you wanna get out of your English study.

把你的目标写下来，贴在墙上，然后全力以赴去实现它，各位。

Write that goal down, put it on your wall, and go for it, guys.

好了。

Alright.

好的，Michelle。

Okay, Michelle.

今天就到这里了。

We are out of here for today.

和你聊天真开心。

Good to hang out with you.

你也是，琳达。

You too, Lindsay.

你也要好好的。

Have a good one.

好的。

Alright.

保重。

Take care.

再见。

Bye.

再见。

Bye.
