说明

Minibar（迷你吧）说明
酒店房间里的 minibar 指的是一个小冰箱（通常在房间角落或柜子里），里面放有饮料、小瓶装酒、零食等。

• 这些饮料和零食不是免费的。
• 如果客人在住宿期间拿了或喝了 minibar 里的东西，退房时酒店会另外收取费用。
• 费用通常会直接加到你的总账单里。

💡 在美式英语口语中，你可能会听到服务员问：

• “Did you take anything from the minibar?”（您有从迷你吧取东西吗？）
• 如果有，就回答 “Yes, I took a soda.”（有，我拿了一罐汽水。）
• 如果没有，就回答 “No, I didn’t.”

说明

在美式英语中，“route” 有两种常见发音，都是标准的：

1. /rut/ → 更常见于交通、导航语境
2. /raʊt/ → 类似“shout”中的“out”

✅ 在公交、导航、公路名等情境中，美国人更常说：/rut/
✅ 在军事、动词“击溃敌人”语境中，会更常说：/raʊt/

所以“Bus Route Question”中，推荐使用：
👉 /bʌs rut ˈkwɛs.tʃən/

Mike: How’s everything going? Feeling more at home now?
Li Wei: A little bit, yes. But some things are still strange to me.
Mike: That’s normal. It’s called culture shock.
Li Wei: Culture shock?
Mike: Yeah. When everything feels new and different. It happens when you move to a new country.
Li Wei: Oh! Yes, I think I feel that sometimes.
Mike: I felt it too when I visited Asia. It gets better after a while.
Li Wei: I hope so. I’m learning little by little. For example, people here say “please” and “thank you” a lot. In China, we don’t say it that often.
Mike: Yeah, we say it all the time — even for small things.
Li Wei: I’m learning. I don’t want to be rude.
Mike: Don’t worry, you’re doing great.
Li Wei: Also, I miss Chinese food. Breakfast is very different here.
Mike: What do you usually eat?

说明

在英语学习的道路上，很多人陷入“单词会背、语法懂一些，却开不了口、表达不自然”的困境。其实，真正有效的英语学习，不是死记硬背，而是从思维方式到表达方式的系统训练。以下六大建议，帮助你从根本上提升英语水平，走向地道表达。

---

建议一：用短语作为学习的基本单位

学习英语不要只盯着单词看。单词是砖头，但短语才是能直接搭建句子的模块。短语由多个单词组成，却表达一个完整概念，例如：

• go to bed（上床睡觉）
• play the piano（弹钢琴）
• have a good time（玩得开心）

这些都是英语母语者习惯使用的固定表达，自行拼凑往往不自然。以短语为单位学习，能让你说得更地道，也更容易记住和使用。

---

建议二：掌握词汇搭配（collocations）

词汇搭配指的是单词之间常见的固定组合，比如：

• make a decision（做决定）
• heavy rain（大雨）
• strong coffee（浓咖啡）
• commit a crime（犯罪）

这些搭配不是随机的，而是母语者下意识使用的。如果我们用中文思维乱搭，例如 do a decision，就会显得不地道。学习词汇时，把常见搭配一并记住，既能避免语法错误，也能让表达更加自然。

---

建议三：掌握高频句型，构建表达框架

学好英语不是会几个单词和语法规则，而是掌握一套表达常用内容的“句型模板”，例如：

• used to do something（过去常常）
• be used to doing something（习惯于）
• suggest somebody do something（建议某人做某事）

掌握这些高频结构，能让你快速组织句子、准确表达想法，也能避免中式结构导致的语病。建议整理常见句型的笔记本，分门别类积累并实际造句使用。

---

建议四：听说先行，打造语言环境

语言首先是用来“听”和“说”的，而不是考试题里的“选”与“填”。要摆脱哑巴英语，就要让英语成为生活的一部分：

• 每天至少听30分钟母语者英文内容；
• 多使用跟读和影子跟读法模仿语音语调；
• 尽早开口练习，创造真实输出机会；
• 让英语出现在你的生活场景中（看剧、听播客、写英文日记）。

听得多、说得多，语感才会真正建立起来。

---

建议五：建立英语思维，摆脱中式翻译

不要先想中文再翻译成英文，而是训练自己直接用英文表达。例如：看见太阳时，直接想到“sunny day”，而不是“太阳 → 翻译 → sunny”。

培养英语思维的方法包括：

• 用英文进行“内心独白”或小对话；
• 记录英文日记；
• 阅读英文时不强求逐字翻译，而是整体理解；
• 多模仿英语的表达逻辑。

思维方式改变了，说话就不再“卡顿”，而是自然而然地流出英文。

---

建议六：注重发音与口音训练（Pronunciation & Accent）

发音不到位，是很多人英语听不懂、说不清的根源。要改善发音口音，关键在于：

• 学好音标，是掌握准确发音的基础；
• 多听母语者的英文，熟悉语音节奏，模仿是本能；
• 不要太快定型自己的发音，留出不断纠正和优化的空间；
• 理解英语是“节奏语言”，注重重音、弱读和语调起伏。

发音是“可塑的”，只要坚持听对的、练对的，你的英语就会越来越顺耳、顺口。

---

结语：英语不是学出来的，是“练出来的”

掌握以上六大建议，从词语、句型、思维到发音层层打通，不仅能让你“听得懂、说得出”，更能让你“说得地道、写得漂亮”。愿你把英语真正用起来，说得出自己的世界。

• 一对一专属定制
每一节课都是专属一对一真人教学，内容与节奏都为你量身打造。无论你是怕开口、口音问题，还是表达不清，老师都会提供针对性辅导。

• 轻松氛围，自信开口
课堂风格亲和放松，老师用更自然的方式帮你修正表达，营造朋友聊天般的对话环境。让你逐步放下“怕说错”的心理包袱，在引导中敢于开口，享受英语进步的成就感。

• 实用话题，学了马上能用
不讲书本上复杂难记的，只练你生活、职场、出国、社交中真正会遇到的情景。让你学了马上能说，说了就能用上。

• 即时纠错，课后精进
老师当场帮你纠正发音、语法和表达方式，每节课后还给你具体改进建议。让你清楚进步在哪，知道下一步练什么，告别盲目练习。

• 时间自由，地点随你
上课地点不限，有网就能学。时间随你定，早上/晚上/周末都能灵活约课，轻松坚持，进步看得见。

说明

牛排的熟度：

中文熟度	英文表达	特点说明
一分熟	rare	外熟内生，中心几乎全红、温度低
三分熟	medium rare	外熟内红，中心红而温
五分熟	medium	中心粉红略带红，汁多、稍有弹性
七分熟	medium well	微微粉红，较少肉汁，稍干
全熟 / 十分熟	well done	全熟无红色，口感较干，几乎无肉汁

如果你要点餐，也可以加上“牛排种类”与“熟度”，例如：

• I’ll have the ribeye, medium.
• Can I get the sirloin steak, cooked medium?

在一般的牛排餐厅（尤其是连锁美式或西式牛排馆），菜单上最常见、最受欢迎的牛排种类通常包括以下几种：

一般牛排餐厅常见牛排种类（中英文对照）

牛排种类	英文名称	常见原因 / 适合人群
西冷牛排	Sirloin steak	价格适中，肉质结实，牛味浓，是菜单常客
肋眼牛排	Ribeye steak	油花丰富，口感嫩，多汁，最受欢迎之一
菲力牛排	Filet mignon / Tenderloin steak	极嫩无筋，适合不喜欢油脂的人，价格略高
T骨牛排	T-bone steak	视觉震撼，大份，有两种肉，适合“吃肉大户”
板腱牛排	Flat iron steak	嫩度高、价格亲民，越来越常见
牛小排	Short ribs（烤牛小排）	有时会做成烧烤式或韩式，适合重口味

选择建议：

• 想吃嫩又多汁的：推荐 Ribeye 或 Filet mignon
• 想要丰富口感和牛肉香味：试试 Sirloin、T-bone 或 Porterhouse
• 喜欢硬朗嚼劲：选择 Rump 或 Chuck
• 想一块吃两种口感：选 T-bone 或 Porterhouse

除牛排外，常见搭配或菜单项还包括：
