[Instrumental]

Gabby: Marhaban (hello) Lindsay. 蓋比：Marhaban（你好）林賽。

Lindsay: (Uh). What?

Gabby: Okay. I started taking an Arabic class. 我開始上阿拉伯語課程。

Lindsay: Wow. 林賽：哇。

Gabby:

Arabic 101. So that's how you say “Hello” in Arabic. 這就是你用阿拉伯語說「你好」的方式。

Lindsay:

Oh. Very cool. You're so international.

Gabby:

Oh, I just – I love learning languages. 哦，我只是 - 我喜歡學習語言。

Lindsay:

That's fantastic. 這太妙了。

Gabby:

And (um) I'm gonna (going to) share something from my Arabic class in this episode, where we're talking about, (you know), living your life, living your English life and (uh) we have, we have a quote that we want to share with you from none other than Steve Jobs. （嗯）我將在這一集中分享我的阿拉伯語課上的一些內容，我們正在談論，（你知道），過你的生活，過你的英語生活，並且（呃）我們有，我們我們想與您分享史蒂夫·喬布斯的一句話。

Lindsay:

Right.

This guy is the king of creative expression. 這傢伙是創意表達之王。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

(You know). (He) created the computer that we're using now. （祂）創造了我們現在使用的電腦。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Pretty awesome. 太棒了。 What's the quote Gabby?

Gabby:

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.” Lindsay: “你的時間有限，所以不要把時間浪費在過別人的生活上。”林賽：

Have you ever lived someone else's life in terms of the way you study languages, Gabby? 加比，你在學習語言的方式上是否經歷過別人的生活？

Gabby:

Yeah.

(I mean) I think that when we take a class, we listen to the teacher and we follow, (you know), his or her way of doing things, but sometimes that just doesn't work for everyone. （我的意思是）我認為，當我們上課時，我們聽老師的話，我們遵循（你知道的）他或她的做事方式，但有時這並不適合每個人。 (Um) so for example, my Arabic class, right – oh the professor is awesome and she does a lot of really great things in class, but the textbook is encouraging us to learn (like) the names of punctuation. （嗯）例如，我的阿拉伯語課，對吧——哦，教授很棒，她在課堂上做了很多很棒的事情，但是教科書鼓勵我們學習（比如）標點符號的名稱。

Lindsay:

Oh, my god. That's so boring.

Gabby:

(I mean), it's just not necessary, I think. （我的意思是），我認為這是沒有必要的。 My feeling is that I need to learn how to say basic vocabulary and learning the words for punctuation is not really necessary at this point. 我的感覺是，我需要學習如何說基本詞彙，而學習標點符號的單字在這一點上並不是真正必要的。

Lindsay:

Right.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Gabby:

So I don't need to learn everything about grammar and punctuation from the beginning. 所以我不需要從一開始就學習有關文法和標點符號的所有內容。

Lindsay:

So that's living someone else's life in terms of learning English. 因此，就學習英語而言，那就是過別人的生活。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

And what would be living your life? 你的生活會怎樣？ Owning your life?

Gabby:

Yeah.

Owning my Arabic life, so to speak, would be to identify what's important for me to learn. 可以說，擁有我的阿拉伯生活就是確定什麼對我來說是重要的學習。 So for me, (you know), I want to learn conversational Arabic and be able to speak with native speakers, understand, and be understood, so I'm gonna (going to) concentrate on learning phrases and having good pronunciation. 所以對我來說，（你知道），我想學習阿拉伯語會話並能夠與母語人士交談，理解並被理解，所以我將（將）集中精力學習短語並擁有良好的發音。

Lindsay:

Great. I like that style. 我喜歡那種風格。 So how does this relate to our listeners? 那麼這與我們的聽眾有什麼關係呢？ (I mean) you guys, (you know), we know that you've been learning for a long time and probably in your home country, you were learning someone else – learning using someone else's methods. （我的意思是）你們，（你們知道），我們知道你們已經學習了很長一段時間，並且可能在你們的祖國，你們正在學習別人——使用別人的方法來學習。

Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

Living someone else's life. 過別人的生活。

Gabby:

Right.

Well, we gave one suggestion many episodes ago which was to learn through your passion. 好吧，我們在很多集之前就提出了一個建議，那就是透過你的熱情來學習。 Learn with your heart and what you're interested in, so finding the language that goes along with your life, your passions, (you know), your career, that could be a great way to learn. 用心學習你感興趣的東西，所以找到適合你的生活、你的熱情、（你知道的）、你的職業的語言，這可能是一種很好的學習方式。

Lindsay:

Yeah, another way could be to understand your learning style. 是的，另一種方法可能是了解你的學習風格。 That's kind of a buzz term in education now and there's a lot of debate as to whether or not that's the right way to go… Gabby: 這是現在教育界的一個流行術語，關於這是否是正確的方法存在著許多爭論…加比：

Right.

Lindsay:

…but, (you know), there's something to it. ……但是，（你知道），這是有道理的。 (You know), how do you learn? I learn visually. 我透過視覺來學習。 I need to either write things down or see them being acted out. 我需要要么把事情寫下來，要么看到它們被表演出來。 So how do you learn? 那麼你如何學習呢？ Is it by listening? 是靠聽嗎？ If that's the case you should really be listening every day. 如果是這樣的話，你真的應該每天都聽。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Absolutely. 絕對地。

Lindsay:

To All Ears English. 致所有耳朵英語。

Gabby:

If you're a visual learner, you'd do well with the transcripts. 如果您是視覺學習者，那麼您會很好地完成成績單。 You can read along as you listen. 你可以邊聽邊讀。

Lindsay:

Definitely.

Gabby:

(Um), some people like to learn through watching movies or listening to music. （嗯）有些人喜歡透過看電影或聽音樂來學習。 So there's (there are) different interests and different ways of learning, right. 所以有不同的興趣和不同的學習方式，對吧。

Lindsay:

Yeah.

Gabby:

Some people, (um), learn by doing. 有些人，（嗯），透過實踐來學習。 So, (you know), getting out there and volunteering using the language in different ways. 所以，（你知道），走出去並自願以不同的方式使用該語言。

Lindsay:

Or, if you're, if you like humor, as I guess most people do. 或者，如果你是，如果你喜歡幽默，我想大多數人都喜歡。 (You know) learn with humor. （你知道）以幽默的方式學習。 Check out Ron at the English Funcast. 看看英語 Funcast 上的羅恩。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

That was – that was really fun when we had him on here right? 那是——當我們讓他在這裡的時候真的很有趣，對吧？

Gabby:

He was (uh) on our podcast, gosh, a few weeks ago. 天哪，幾週前他（呃）出現在我們的播客上。

Lindsay:

Yeah.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

That was really fun. 那真的很有趣。 So there are a lot of ways to do it. 所以有很多方法可以做到。

Gabby:

Yeah.

So we encourage you to make English your own, really own it and make it part of your life. 因此，我們鼓勵您讓英語成為您自己的英語，真正擁有它並使其成為您生活的一部分。

Lindsay:

Yeah.

Own your English, own your life.
