学这几个词不重要 -- 很有可能你和我很快就会忘记了。重要的是多想一想“这个词在中文中有没有对应的说法” “这个词英文怎么表达更符合习惯” -与其说是“英文思维”的培养,不如说是“多想想怎么换个更习惯说法”,“地道”来源于日积月累,而不是摸不见看不着的所谓的“英文思维”.




如果有英文思维的话,那么什么是“普通话思维”, “方言思维”? 如果说有“拿英文来思考”,那么什么是“拿中文来思考”? 只不过是风俗文化和语言习惯而已, 别被这些大假空的, 像是灵丹妙药般的“英文思维”唬住。


(注: 语言和思维本身就是学术上很有争议的话题, 本文旨在说明"踏踏实实的学习和积累比空谈“英文思维”靠谱的多. 有关“英文思维”的讨论,我支持李笑来老师的看法,详情请阅读原文 -你一定会收获很多。)
