Hi again, welcome back to engvid.com, I'm Adam, today's lesson is meant to show you ways of increasing your vocabulary.
再次见到大家很高兴，欢迎回到engvid.com，我是Adam，今天的课程是要教你们一些增加词汇量的方法。
I know some of the other teachers on engvid.com have done these lessons.
我知道engvid.com上有些其他的老师已经做过这种课程了。
I just want to throw my two cents in if you know what that means, is I want to give my own piece of advice.
我只是想跟大家分享一下我的拙见，如果你们知道这是什么意思的话......也就是我想给你们一些我自己的建议。
I have a few ideas for you, we are going to start with these, we're going to look at a few others more practical ones as well.
我给你们准备了一些方法，我们会先从这些开始讲，然后还会再看其他几个更实用的想法。
The most important thing that you can do to increase your vocabulary is read, read a lot.
要增加词汇量，你们能做的最重要的事是阅读，大量阅读。
What should you read? Anything and everything.
你们应该读什么？任何东西，所有材料都可以。
But the most important thing is read what you are interested in, okay?
但最重要的是阅读你们感兴趣的材料。
If you like sports, read a sports magazine.
如果你们喜欢运动，那就读本运动杂志。
If you like movies, read a movie magazine, even better read the script of the movie.
如果喜欢电影，那就看本电影杂志，能读一读电影剧本就更好了。
If the movie is based on a novel, read the novel.
如果这部电影是根据一本小说改编的，那就去读这本小说。
For example, recently the movie Life of Pi was very famous in the theaters.
举个例子来说，最近在各大影院都很火爆的电影《少年派的奇幻漂流》。
It's based on a novel, read the novel, it's a pretty good book.
它就是根据一部小说改编的，这本小说很不错，你们可以看一下。
My favorite movie Shawshank Redemption, based on a novella by Stephen King.
我最喜欢的电影《肖申克的救赎》，改编自Stephen King的中篇小说。
Read it, best way to increase your vocabulary.
去读一读吧，这是增加词汇量最好的方法。
Also don't just learn new words and try to remember them.
还有，学新单词的时候不要只是干巴巴地学并且试着记住它们。
Write, write a lot, use the words you're learning, right?
你们要动手写，多写，要把你们正在学的单词用起来。
Every time you learn a new word, you should have a notebook with you all the time anyway.
不管怎样，每次你们学习一个新单词的时候，都应该在身边带一个笔记本。
Write the word in a sentence, but not just any sentence, make sure that the sentence clearly shows that you know the meaning of the word, okay?
用这个单词造一个句，但是也不要随便造句，你们要确保这个句子能够清晰地显示你们知道这个单词的意思，懂吗？
So let's... for example, I know everybody knows this word but... "beautiful", everybody knows this word, but let's say it's a new word for you.
比如......我知道"beautiful"这个单词你们都认识，每个人都认识这个单词，不过我们假设这对你们来说是个新单词。
Don't write "The sky is beautiful", it doesn't tell me anything about the word "beautiful".
不要光写个"The sky is beautiful"，这个句子并没有告诉我任何关于单词"beautiful"的信息。
The sky is also blue, does beautiful mean blue?
天空也是蓝色的啊，"beautiful"的意思是蓝色吗？
No, make sure you're using something.
不是，请一定要在句子里加上其他成分。
I love to see a beautiful sky that has pretty clouds and sunshine and a nice color, nice shade of blue, because it makes me feel happy.
比如：I love to see a beautiful sky that has pretty clouds and sunshine and a nice color, nice shade of blue, because it makes me feel happy.（我喜欢看这片有着漂亮的云彩、阳光和好看的颜色、好看的蓝色的美丽天空，因为它让我觉得很开心。）
Not the best example, it's a very long sentence but you get my idea.
这个例子虽然不是最好的示例，句子太长了，但是你们懂我的意思就好。
