Introduction （开场白）

#英语自然说#官宣

The official announcement of Speaking Naturally

中国人能说好英语吗？从曾经的“疯狂说英语”到今天的“英语流利说”，这个问题困扰了我们将近30年！

Can Chinese people speak English well？From ‘CRAZY English’ to ‘FLUENT English’，this conundrum has been a ‘hangover’ for three decades.

英语学习已然成为职业发展的引擎。

English learning has become the engine of career development

在微信朋友圈，全民皆打卡，你也不例外。“On Wechat Moments, nearly everyone posts and probably you are one of those posters.

英语打卡”并不意味着可以“说出英语”。但确实是一个“自我安慰”，你没有在海量的打卡信息中“落伍”。

‘Posting out’ doesn’t mean you have mastered ‘speaking out’, but it’s a comfort to know you’re not left behind in the sea of others’ comments.

真正测试到来了—当你面对外国客户（例如在商务环境中）。似乎哪里都不对了，无论是发音、词汇或语法。感觉焦虑，说不出口。The real test comes when you have to face foreign clients in (for example) a business environment. Seemingly everything goes wrong in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Feeling the anxiety, you can hardly speak out.

你“扪心自问”，我为什么缺乏信心呢？每天的努力，似乎都无所回报。

You ask yourself, ‘why do I lack confidence?’ The efforts you’ve been putting in every day, don’t seem to be paying off.

英语学习已然成为社交的筛选器

English learning has become the Filter when socializing

整天呆在公司和生活的小圈子里，还是去拓展职业发展空间—参加高大上的会议，参加路演，勇敢地参加英语角和朋友聚会。您想知道，在各种场合如何恰当地用英语表达自己吗？

Do you want to stay in a small circle of life, or do you want to develop your career attending upscale conferences , joining road shows, stepping fearlessly into English corners or partying with friends?

You wonder how to express yourself appropriately depending on those different occasions

英语学习已然成为中国上百万家庭的“财务负担”！

English learning has become the financial burden of millions of Chinese families

据统计显示，中国家庭在英语学习上每年的花费，每个家庭，平均已经超过10000元每年。那么问题来了——“这钱花的真有所值吗？”

Statistics, reveal the average spending per family on English training is 10000 Yuan each year. That prompts the question: Is it Really Worth that?

我们的问题也许终结了！发音教练—前CCTV News(央视英语频道) 主持人—

Edwin Maher（艾德温.马尔）和他的团队，即将为你推出#英语自然说#系列学习节目。

Our troubles may be over! Voice coach and former CCTV News anchor, Edwin Maher and his team are about to launch Speaking Naturally for YOU.

这里有一个问题了：我们说英语的能力是“天生”的还是“培养”的？

Here’s a question: Does the ability to speak English well depend on nature or nurture?

我们相信，每一个中国人，只要肯尝试，肯花时间，肯用精力，就可以说好英语！

We believe every Chinese who tries, devoting time and energy, can speak English well !

我们不可避免英语并非母语的这个事实，所以我们都有一定的口音。然而，我们要相信自己，要有成功的决心，要承诺每天练习。我们就可以达到英语自然说！

We can’t avoid the fact that our mother tongue is not English and that we all have accents. However， with a belief in ourselves, a determination to succeed, and a commitment to practice every day, we can Speak (English) Naturally.

英语学习无捷径， 唯有勤奋一条路！

There’s NO EXPRESS WAY - diligence is the ONLY WAY.

教育与娱乐并无冲突。教育不仅是知会，更是愉悦。英语自然说，愿快乐学习与你一路相伴！

Education is not in conflict with Entertainment.

Education not only informs, but entertains.

Speaking Naturally is to have fun along the way.

再一次，我们相信每一个中国人只要肯尝试，都可以达到英语自然说！口音并不是障碍。也许下一季的英语自然说，您就是屏幕上的主持人啊！

Again, we truly believe that every Chinese person who tries, can speak English Naturally in their own way, unhindered by accent！Maybe YOU will become the Host in the next season of Speaking Naturally!
