Even if you speak English, there is a wide variety of regional dialects and patterns of speech. These are diverse, useful, and dynamic ways of communication.
即使你会讲英语，也有可能会存在地域口音、谈话模式差异等情况。口音等差异性表达，都是丰富多样、有用、灵活的交流方式。
But unfortunately, if you cannot communicate in Standard English a person may be discriminated against as uneducated, and sometimes not be able to communicate effectively.
不幸的是，如果你不能用标准英语和他人交流，你会被视为一个教育程度不佳、甚至无法有效沟通的人，进而被人看低。
Fortunately, there are many ways to immerse yourself in this way of communicating. English borrows words from all sorts of different languages, and new terms are constantly emerging.
但不幸中的万幸是，你有许多种方式把自己沉浸在英语的语言环境中。英语在从其他语言中吸纳了大量单词，也会不断涌现新词（组）。
The following tips aim at showing you how to learn perfect English as a native speaker.
下面这些建议，可以帮助你把英语学得像外国人一样地道。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip One
Use standard English. Avoid nonstandard (i.e., ungrammatical) forms such as “ain’t”, “can’t hardly”, “can’t seem to”, “irregardless”, and “anyways”.
使用标准英语。不要使用不规范（如不符合语法规范）的表达；比如：ain't. can't hardly, can't seem to, irregardless 和 anyways 。
Consult a dictionary for proper usage and a style manual, such as Strunk and White’s Elements of Style.
你可以查词典，来学习单词/词组的正确使用方法和句式规范。强烈推荐《Element's of Style》，作者：Strunk and White.
(Elements of Style, By Strunk and White)
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Two
Keep proper pronunciation in mind. For most words that can be pronounced more than one way (such as 'either'), all the different pronunciations are correct. For a few, such as 'mischievous', one pronunciation is preferred.
记住正确的发音！大多数词都有不止一种的发音（比如“either”既可以读作['a?e?]，也可以读作['ie?]），而且不同发音都是对的。但也有一些词语（像“mischievous”读作 ['m?st??v?s]），最好只读一种发音。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Three
Watch major network TV news, and other programming that uses Standard English. Newscasters in particular are very careful to present language that is grammatically clear and well articulated.
看主流网站上的英语（电视）新闻，以及其他英语标准的网络节目。因为新闻播报员非常注意自己的用词是否规范、语法是否清晰明了。
Therefore, it is usually recommended to people trying to learn Standard English to watch such news programs. Certain other television shows will present very good Standard English, however television ranges wildly in terms of proper English usage.
因此，推荐你通过看新闻节目来学习标准英语。虽然其他电视节目使用的英语也比较规范，但各个电视节目英语的规范性参差不齐。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Four
Expose yourself to writing to pick up structures, tones, and ideas. Not everything in print is perfect, but the vast majority of printed works, such as books and magazines, have been thoroughly edited.
尽可能多看英语书面文字，进而提高句子结构、语气、思维方式等能力。虽然书面上的东西并非全部完美，但大部分印刷品、比如书籍和杂志，都是经过精心编纂的。
Look at what makes good writing good. As you read more, mistakes and problems will start to 'look' or 'sound' wrong to you. Correctness will start to feel natural.
让我们来看看到底是什么让妙笔能够生花。你读的越多，那么遇到错误和问题、你就越能够自动感觉到它们“看上去”或“听上去”不对。慢慢地，正确率将会上升。
说白了，就是培养语感。
If you want to write with a particular style or in a particular genre, read things that are related to that. You will tend to adopt styles and ideas from what you read.
如果你有特定的写作风格，那么读一些相似风格的文字吧，因为通过阅读某种风格的文字，你更容易吸收和模仿其精髓。

Tip Six
Read aloud, with intonation. You can read to your children or even your pets. Reading passages aloud is one way to interpret their structures, and it will make you more conscious of their details.
大声朗读，注意语调。你可以读给你的孩子，甚至是你的宠物。大声朗读文章是理解文章结构的一种好方法，同时这能让你对文中细节更敏感。
It will improve your speech, especially if you are hesitant when you speak or say 'uh' and 'um'. If you practice reading aloud, you will be less likely to stammer or pause when you speak. You will find yourself saying words carefully instead of slurring them together.
大声朗读还能提高你的口语水平，尤其对那些经常说“唔”“嗯”的人来说最有帮助。如果你经常大声朗读，你会减少吱吱呜呜和停顿的几率。你会发现自己说话变得仔细了、而不是含糊不清。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Seven
Build your vocabulary. Reading will expose you to a far wider range of words than conversation or spoken media, such as radio or television. Collect words that you do not know. Also browse the dictionary, play word games, and subscribe to a word of the day.
提高词汇量！与看电视或者听广播等对话口语形式相比，阅读能给你带来大量的词汇环境。做阅读时，将你不会的单词记录下来，同时翻阅词典查看含义，还可以玩一些单词游戏，至少每天记忆一个新单词。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Eight
Play with the language to explore it. Start a pun war. Dust off your Scrabble game. Invent your own word.
通过游戏化的方式来探索和学习语言。开始一个双关语之战，或者玩一场拼字游戏，也可以通过自己造词来学习词根……
总之，增强语言学习的趣味性啦。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Nine
练习写作。用英语写日记或博客。
Whatever and wherever you write, practice daily, if possible. In email and text messages, use complete sentences. That counts as writing, too.
无论你写什么、在哪儿写，最重要的是尽可能的每天坚持写。在电子邮件和短信中，请使用完整句子，那么这也算写作练习了。
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Tip Ten
Do not be afraid to make mistakes. That fear may keep you from making progress. Language takes extraordinary amounts of practice to master, and mistakes are part of the learning process.
不要怕犯错误。因为害怕犯错会妨碍你进步。掌握一门语言需要大量的练习，犯错也是学习的过程之一。
