My full name is Michal Ryszard Wojcik. I live in Poland and Polish is my native language. I am a mathematician and an enthusiast of English. I learned English very well and now I want to share my experience with other people.
我的全名叫Michal Ryszard Wojcik。我生活在波蘭，波蘭語(yǔ)是我的母語(yǔ)。我是個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)家，但很喜歡英語(yǔ)。我英語(yǔ)學(xué)得很不錯(cuò)，現(xiàn)在就跟大家分享一下我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
I had my first contact with English when I was six. My dad inspired me to listen to The Beatles. I listened to them every day for the next seven years. In the beginning I could understand nothing of what they were singing. But soon I started to understand individual words, especially the ones which appeared in the titles.
我六歲的時(shí)候第一次接觸英語(yǔ)。那時(shí)我爸爸鼓勵(lì)我去聽甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)的歌曲。為此，在接下去的七年時(shí)間里，我每天都堅(jiān)持聽甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)的歌曲。一開始我什么也聽不懂，但是很快我就慢慢能聽懂一些單詞了，尤其是那些在歌名里出現(xiàn)的單詞。
Later I got a book with the words of all the songs. I read the book many times. I learned many songs by heart. I sang the songs to myself. Still, I understood very little of the meaning. It became my dream to learn English so well that I could understand The Beatles. So The Beatles were my first motivation. That is how I started my way toward English.
后來(lái)我找到了一本關(guān)于甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)所有歌曲的歌詞的書。整本書我看了很多次，用心學(xué)會(huì)了很多歌曲，并且一個(gè)人哼唱。然而，我還是幾乎不懂歌曲的意思。于是，我夢(mèng)想著能夠把英語(yǔ)學(xué)好，這樣就可以理解甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)的歌曲了。因此，甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)的歌曲成了我學(xué)好英語(yǔ)最初的動(dòng)力，而這也正是我開啟英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)之旅的發(fā)端。
Today, I can understand The Beatles very clearly. Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am delighted and proud because I have made my childhood dream come true. I listen to many rock bands, all in English, and I listen every day, sometimes for over seven hours a day. I am constantly aware of my success with English because I can understand the lyrics of the songs I listen to. And that gives me pleasure and satisfaction for many hours every day.
如今，我可以完全聽懂甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)的歌曲。每次我聽到他們的歌曲，我都會(huì)感到很興奮，也很自豪，因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了我兒時(shí)的夢(mèng)想。我會(huì)收聽很多搖滾樂隊(duì)的歌曲，都是英文歌曲。我每天都堅(jiān)持收聽，有時(shí)一天會(huì)聽上7個(gè)多小時(shí)。我很清楚自己的英語(yǔ)越來(lái)越好了，因?yàn)槲叶寄苈牰枨母柙~了。而這讓我每天都深感愉悅和滿足。
When I was 13 years old, I started reading science fiction books. I read in Polish. The books were all American. I could not read the original versions because I did not know English so well. As I read in Polish, I was more and more eager to read the books in English. Somehow I felt that in English the books will be even more interesting and reading will be more exciting. I finally decided that I wanted to read books in English. This decision guided me for many years.
十三歲時(shí)，我開始看科幻故事。我看的是波蘭語(yǔ)版本的故事，但都是美國(guó)的故事書。我看不懂原本的故事，因?yàn)槲矣⒄Z(yǔ)還不夠好。當(dāng)我在看波蘭語(yǔ)版本的故事時(shí)，我越來(lái)越渴望看英文原著。我總覺得如果是看英文版的，故事會(huì)更有意思，閱讀本身會(huì)更令人興奮。于是，我最終決定要去看英文原著，而這個(gè)決定多年以來(lái)一直引導(dǎo)我的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)。
I learned every new English word that I met. With each new word I felt closer to my goal. With each word I felt that my reading ability was increasing. Each word added to my sense of power.
每碰到一個(gè)生詞，我都會(huì)好好學(xué)習(xí)；每一個(gè)生詞都讓我感覺更加接近我的目標(biāo)，每一個(gè)單詞都讓我覺得自己的閱讀能力加強(qiáng)了；每一個(gè)單詞都讓我覺得自己的能力在提升。
At some point I read my first whole book in English and I understood it. That moment was a breakthrough in my life. I knew that I had broken a barrier, gotten into a new world. I found that reading is much more exciting in English. When I read in English, I have not only the pleasure of reading, but also the pleasure of using English and the pleasure of learning English. For the last four years I have read books only in English, with very few exceptions.
某一天第一次完整地看完了一本英語(yǔ)書，而且我都看懂了。而那一刻，成了我人生的突破點(diǎn)。我知道我沖破了障礙，進(jìn)入了一個(gè)新的世界。我發(fā)現(xiàn)，英語(yǔ)閱讀遠(yuǎn)比我想象的要更加令人興奮。當(dāng)我進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)閱讀時(shí)，我不僅僅享受到了閱讀的快樂，我還享受到了運(yùn)用和學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的樂趣。在過去的四年時(shí)間里，我只看英語(yǔ)書籍，很少有例外。
I have read many pop-science books in English. Some of them are still not available in Polish. My knowledge of English allowed me to get in touch with the current state of evolutionary theory and cognitive science of the mind. Without English, I would not have read the books because there are no Polish translations of them. When I learned English well enough to read pop-science books, I discovered that English is a very important tool for learning science.
我看了很多通俗科學(xué)類英語(yǔ)書籍，它們中有些還沒有波蘭語(yǔ)的版本。我的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)，使得我能夠有機(jī)會(huì)接觸到有關(guān)大腦思維的最新的進(jìn)化理論和認(rèn)知科學(xué)。如果不是因?yàn)槎⒄Z(yǔ)，我就無(wú)法閱讀那么多的書籍，因?yàn)檫@些書籍都還沒有被譯成波蘭語(yǔ)。當(dāng)我學(xué)會(huì)閱讀英語(yǔ)版的通俗科學(xué)書籍時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)英語(yǔ)對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)知識(shí)來(lái)說(shuō)是很重要的工具。
Currently I study mathematics. Most of the books I use are in English. In fact, most of the books in my math institute's library are in English. I discovered that my knowledge of English is very important for my learning mathematics. Without English I would be limited to the few books which are in Polish, and there are really few of them. Over a year ago I decided to use English only in mathematical notes. I read and write math materials in English, like most professional mathematicians. I have become part of the international mathematical community. I can read math materials on the Internet and I can publish my own materials, with no language barriers. I feel free!
目前我在學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。大部分我使用到的書本都是英文版的。事實(shí)上，我所在的研究院的圖書館里的大部分藏書都是英文版的。我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)對(duì)于我的數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)很重要的。如果不懂英語(yǔ)，我就只能查閱一些波蘭語(yǔ)版本的書籍，而且這些書的數(shù)量真的很少。一年多前，我決定在做數(shù)學(xué)筆記時(shí)，只用英語(yǔ)記。我像許多其他的數(shù)學(xué)家一樣，只看英語(yǔ)材料，也只用英語(yǔ)寫材料。我成了國(guó)際數(shù)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的一份子，我能夠在網(wǎng)上閱讀數(shù)學(xué)材料，并且出版自己的數(shù)學(xué)資料，根本沒有語(yǔ)言障礙——我感到可以得心應(yīng)手地使用英語(yǔ)！
English has given me so much satisfaction and pleasure and also I find it so useful in my scientific pursuit, that I decided to share my methods and my experience with other people. On Antimoon, I try to help people to learn English with pleasure. I know that it is possible to derive satisfaction from the process of learning English and I want to share it with others.
英語(yǔ)給了我如此之多的愉悅與滿足感，而且我發(fā)現(xiàn)它對(duì)于我的科學(xué)探究也很有幫助，所以我決定跟大家分享我的學(xué)習(xí)方法和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。通過Antimoon（一個(gè)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng)站），我想幫助大家輕松學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)。我覺得在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)過程中，我們是可以收獲滿足感的，所以我想跟大家分享這種滿足感。
