1. Read in English
1.看英文書
When you want to master a language, you can never read enough.
The easiest way to get started with reading in English rather than your own language is to pickup a non-fiction[非小說類文學(xué)作品] book on a familiar, interesting topic. Non-fiction tends to beeasier to follow than fiction (fiction authors use tricky[狡猾的] words to touch their readers’ feelings) and reading about a familiar topic makes it easier to guess what the author is trying tosay to you when you don’t quite understand the words he’s using. Don’t use a dictionaryunless you really have to—just skip the parts you don’t understand. If you make your readingfeel too much like work, you’ll lose the fun in it, and the habit of reading won’t last for long.
當你想要掌握一門語言，看再多的書也不夠。
開始看非母語的英文書，最簡單的方法是挑選一本關(guān)于你熟悉且感興趣的話題的非小說類作品。非小說類作品比小說更容易讀懂(因為小說家們通常用一些狡黠的詞匯來引起讀者的共鳴)，而在不怎么理解作者用詞的情況下，閱讀熟悉的話題讓你更容易猜到作者想要表達的意思。若非必要，不要使用字典——跳過你不理解的部分。假如你把看書當成作業(yè)，就會樂趣全無，看書的習(xí)慣也不能持久。
2. Listen to native speakers
2.聽英語演說
If you don’t speak English every day, this is rather tricky advice to follow. The Internet comes torescue here through podcasts[播客] and videos from speaking events. Pick your favoritespeakers and listen to them deliver their message. You will learn not only about how they usethe language, but also how to captivate[迷住] the audience, and a bit about the topic at hand.
假如你不是每天都說英語，這將是個不大好辦的建議。在這一點上，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)幫上了忙，它可以提供播客和演講比賽的視頻。選擇你喜歡的演說者，聽聽他們?nèi)绾蝹鬟_信息。不單能學(xué)習(xí)他們使用語言的方法，還可以學(xué)習(xí)怎樣吸引觀眾，并對正在討論的這個話題產(chǎn)生一定的了解。
3. When writing in English, think in English 運用英語思維寫作
This is one of the biggest things that separates a decent[相當好的] foreign language writer froma lousy one. The lousy writer thinks in his own language and then tries to translate his thoughtsto English. But that simply doesn’t work: The idioms, grammar rules, and cultural differencesmake text written in this manner sound clumsy[笨拙的] and unnatural.
這是區(qū)別外語寫作者水平優(yōu)劣的最關(guān)鍵因素之一。糟糕的作者用母語思考，然后試圖將他的想法翻譯成英文。但顯然這行不通：習(xí)慣用語、語法結(jié)構(gòu)和文化差異使這種方式寫出來的文章看起來拙劣而不自然。
That’s why every time I set out to write in English, I push all my Finnish[芬蘭的] thoughts far tothe background and don’t even look back. Then I pretend to be English speaking until the workis done and I can move back to my Finnish self.
I suggest you do the same.
這就是為什么我每次進行英語寫作時都將自己的芬蘭語思維拋得遠遠的，根本不回頭看。然后我假裝自己是英語母語者，直至工作完成才回歸到芬蘭人的自己。
我建議你也這樣做。
4. Write
4.多寫多練
The best way to learn anything is by throwing yourself out there and practicing. In fact, I wouldgive you the same advice even if you were considering writing in your native language. But ofcourse, it’s even more important when writing in some other language.
最好的學(xué)習(xí)方法就是全身心地投入其中，然后不斷練習(xí)。事實上，即使在用母語寫作方面，我也會給你同樣的建議。但當然，用其他語言寫作時，這點更重要。
When you are just starting out with your blogging, you should write something every day toreally get your writing routine developed. After a while it’s okay to drop the pace a bit—although even then, if you want to become the best at what you do, keeping up the habit ofdaily writing helps a lot.
剛開始寫博客時，你應(yīng)該每天都寫些東西以真正形成自己的寫作習(xí)慣。一段時間后，適當放緩速度也無妨——即使到了那個時候，如果你想做到最好，繼續(xù)保持每天寫作的習(xí)慣會很有幫助。
Write in different styles: lists, humorous posts注, serious posts, interviews, and if you have thetime, even text that is completely unrelated to your blog. Just to get more practice.
寫不同風(fēng)格的文章：列表、幽默文、嚴肅文及采訪等，假如有時間的話，甚至可以是和你博客完全沒有關(guān)聯(lián)的文章。筆頭一定要勤。
5. Trust your gut[內(nèi)心的感覺]
5.跟著感覺走
The human brain is an amazing machine.
人類的大腦是一臺不可思議的機器。
This can be a bit scary at first as you don’t know how you have learned the sayings and wordplays you are using, and can’t be sure if they are correct or not. Uncertainty[不確定] is the priceyou have to pay for trying to learn to use the language in a natural way. You just have to gowith your gut and trust your brain when words keep popping up[突然出現(xiàn)] that you didn’t knowyou even knew.
這起先也許會讓人有些慌亂，因為你不知道自己使用的說法和詞匯是怎么學(xué)會的，也無法確定它們正確與否。不確定是你想自然地使用這門語言所要付出的代價。當你甚至不知道自己認識的詞匯不斷地冒出來時，你只要跟著自己的感覺走，相信自己的大腦就行了。
I usually write freely on my first cycle, just trying to get the words and ideas out on paper. Andthen, on the second round of checking my text, I drop sayings that sound too uncertain to me, or run them through[瀏覽] a friend to see if they make sense or not. Usually they do.
第一稿我通常會隨性而寫，只是試著將詞匯和想法寫到紙上。到了第二稿檢查文章時，我會舍棄那些太不確定的語言，或者讓一個朋友瀏覽一番，看看它們是否說得通。通常不會有問題。
6. Proofread
6.校對
When you have finished writing your article and it seems nearly perfect to you, the next thingto do is to check it for typos[打字錯誤], grammar mistakes, and just some plain weird soundingsentences.
寫完作文了，你覺得它看起來很完美，下一步便是檢查有沒有打錯字、有沒語法錯誤以及一些看起來就是怪怪的句子。
The easiest way for checking for typos is to use a spellchecker[拼寫檢查程序], but checking forgrammar mistakes is a lot trickier. What I do is that I usually check the grammar first inMicrosoft Word or just play it by the ear, depending on how much you trust your own Englishlanguage skills.
檢查打字問題最簡單的方式是使用拼寫檢查程序，但檢查語法錯誤就繁雜得多。我通常先在Microsoft Word里檢查語法或讀出來用耳朵聽，這取決于你對自己的英語語言技能有多大的自信。
And of course, if you want to play it safe, you can always ask one of your English speakingfriends to double check your article.
當然，如果你想更放心，你也可以叫一個以英語為母語的朋友再幫你檢查一次。
7. Have English-speaking friends who are not afraid to correct your mistakes
7.結(jié)交肯糾錯的外國朋友
The best way to learn to sound like a native is to hang out[出去玩] with them as much as youcan. By paying close attention to how they speak, you will learn the sayings they use, the slang, and even the jokes that they throw at you. All of this is important in making your English soundmore natural and conversational[對話的] rather than something learned from a book.
學(xué)習(xí)地道英文的最佳途徑是多和英語母語者打交道。仔細觀察他們的說話方式，你可以學(xué)到他們使用的說法、俚語，甚至是包括他們對你說的笑話。所有這些都是重要的幫助，讓你的英語聽起來更自然、更像日常對話，而不是從書本里學(xué)到的東西。
Instant messaging[即時通信], e-mailing, or even chatting with them face to face, if possible, areall good ways to learn from friends. And the best part in all of this? You can do it while having agreat time getting to know new, interesting people.
使用即時通信和電子郵件——如果可以的話，和他們面對面地交談吧，這些都是向朋友學(xué)習(xí)的好方法。最大的好處?你可以一邊學(xué)習(xí)，一邊了解有趣的新朋友，這非常有意思。
8. Study spelling and grammar
8.學(xué)習(xí)拼寫和語法
Yeah. I admit it, this doesn’t sound like a lot of fun at all. But to achieve greatness, you haveto put in some effort. And in the end, the reward of learning and becoming more confidentwith your writing is really worth it. Go find the books you were using on your English coursesback in school, or if you can’t find them, check if there are any good course books at the locallibrary.
是的，我承認這看上去一點都不有趣。不過，若想取得成就，你必須付出努力。到頭來，學(xué)習(xí)的成果以及你在寫作上的愈加自信完全值得這樣的付出。找出學(xué)生時代的英語課本，假如找不到，不妨看看當?shù)氐膱D書館有沒有好的教科書。
If you still want to go one step further, you can enroll[登記] to a language course. Just makesure to pick one that is mostly about creative writing because that will get you moving fastertowards your goal.
假如你想更進一步，可以報讀一門語言課程。要確保你選擇的課程主要是講創(chuàng)意寫作的，因為那樣可以助你更快地達成目標。
9. Commas[逗號] and hyphens[連字符]—the tricky buggers[家伙]
9.逗號和連字符——兩個棘手的家伙
Commas are hard. Hyphenation nearly impossible.
逗號非常難。連字符更是難如登天。
The good thing here is that not even the English speaking bloggers always get these thingsright. But does that mean you don’t have to worry about them? No. If you want to be a greatwriter, you have to try to practice the hard things as well. All you can do is to learn about usingthem and then always double check your text to see if your punctuation[標點] is correct.
值得慶幸的是，即使是以英語為母語的博主也未必能正確使用這些符號。但那意味著你就無須為它們煩惱了嗎?不。如果你想成為一名優(yōu)秀的作者，你必須在這些難點上多加練習(xí)。你要做的就是學(xué)習(xí)使用方法，總是反復(fù)檢查你的文章，看看你的標點符號是否正確。
10. Relax
10.放松一點
Last comes the most important tip of all: Relax, and enjoy your writing. To be a great writer, you have to put in a lot of effort, but it’s not going to happen overnight. So, while you arepracticing, don’t panic[驚慌]. Just write the best content you can with the skill set you haveright now. Put it online on your own blog and learn more as you go.
最后是最重要的一點建議：放松一點，享受寫作。要成為偉大的作家，你必須多加努力，而且不可能一蹴而就。因此，在練習(xí)的時候不要慌張。用你現(xiàn)有的技巧寫出最好的文章吧。將它放到你自己的博客上，之后學(xué)習(xí)更多知識。
Relax, have fun, and share your thoughts with the world!
放輕松，開心玩，和世界分享你的想法吧!
