[zz翻译]我和有声读物

Audio books & I我和有声读物

It is a prefect, blue-skied morning in March. I was at bus stop listening to my Ipod, waiting for 99 B-line to school. It takes one-hour drive, and because everyday is the same, there are no landscapes and fancy skyscrapers to stare at anymore. Audio books seem to be the only way to kill this tedious time for adults, maybe for kids and teenagers there is Game boy. As part of my life, audiobooks work just fine. Well, better than “just fine” actually, they are prefect.
一个晴朗,美妙的阳春三月的早晨.我在公交车站,一边等99路B线车去学校,一边听我的Ipod.每天都要一个小时去学校,天天如此,沿途也就没有任何风景和高楼大厦可以欣赏了. 对于小孩子或者是未成年人来说,游戏是打发时间的最好办法,但是对于成年人来说,却是会选择有声读物.有声读物是我生活的一部分，它让我的生活更充实更美好.

Every week, I finish one audiobook or maybe two sometimes. It is much faster than reading paperback books yourself, much more portable than hardbacks, much clearer than looking at PDA’s half-palm black-and-green LCD screen. With one single click, the masterpieces of your favorite authors will be played fluently, vividly, on Mp3. Through the tiny earbugs, your brain is directly connected with Michael Crichton’s, James Patterson’s, John Grisham’s, Dan Brown’s, Bill Clinton’s, etc.
我每一个星期都会听完一两本有声读物.因为它有很多优点:第一:比看口袋书,阅读速度更快;第二,比硬皮书更轻便,便于携带;第三,比看半个巴掌大的掌上电脑的蓝底黑字的荧光屏更清楚. 只是一个按钮,你喜欢作家的杰作就可以有声有色的在MP3上呈现了.只要一个小小的耳塞,你就可以跟进入麦可.克莱顿,詹姆斯?帕特森,约翰?格里斯汉,丹?布朗,比尔?克林顿等人的世界了.

Pocketing an Mp3 player instead of a book in your hands, you can walk through the crossroad safely and libraries easily, cook food more delicious, drive car more comfortable, and even in a blackout (or by dorm rule in some case) you can still “read” books without dim light from the flashlight.

比起一书在手,口袋中的MP3更有优点: 当你穿行于十字路口让你更安全;当你查阅图书的时候更容易;当你烹饪的时候,可以做出更可口的饭菜;当你驱车的时候,旅程更舒服;甚至,当你在黑暗中(由于宿舍管理规定),你不必在手电的微弱光芒下,便可以更清晰的阅读.

People always ask me for tips of studying English, and the question “have you read a lot” has been mentioned hundreds of times. My answer is “No. I listen a lot”.

有人跟我探讨学习英语的技巧,总是问”你读了多少书?”,我的答案是”没有,我听了很多书!”

“It is too hard for me to understand what the narrator is saying in the audiobook.” Yea, perhaps. But I believe everyone can get the benefit (in different ways) from audiobooks. Check the following analysis:

1. People who fully understand will enjoy it. No doubt.
2. People who have a hard time to understand can learn and improve their English.
3. People who have no idea what the heck the storyteller is presenting at all generally fall to sleep. It’s good too. They won’t have sleep deprivation to suffer from.

对,没错,也许你会很难听懂说有声读本里在讲什么.但是我相信你可以通过不同的方式从有声读物中获得利益.请看以下分析:
1. 毫无疑问,能理解的人,才能欣赏;
2. 理解很困难的人可以很好的学习和提高自己的英语.
3. 也许当你听不懂的时候,你很可能会睡着.也不错呀 ,那样就不会再有失眠的痛苦了
