用英语学英语短语:by a whisker

我们学习英语by a whisker时,我们的“学习语言”和“理解语言”必须是英语。

用英语学英语短语:by a whisker

学习英语,我们不把某个英语学习点作为训练我们把英语作为“学习阅读理解和使用语言”的语言能力,而是仅仅追求用中文“懂得”它什么意思,外带几个还是用中文作为“理解语言”的例句,你最终不会真正掌握英语这个东西。

以by a whisker为例。你真的只“满足”于“用中文懂得”它什么意思?或者见到它只能“说”中文,说出它的中文意思却不能“用”英语学习它、理解它、英语不是“使用语言”? 那么,你的英语没学到家,语言能力没有训练出来。

如果你“学习”by a whisker,连下面的“基本功课”都没做,你的学习方法肯定不对路:

1)查英英字典:What does by a whisker mean?

Idiom:Do something by a whisker

- by the narrowest margin.

- If you succeed to do something by a whisker, or if you fail to do something by a whisker, you succeed by a narrow margin(almost fail)or you fail by a narrow margin(almost succeed) .

2) 查英英字典:What is whisker?

a.A whisker is the hair(beard or mustache) on a man's cheeks and chin.

b. A whisker is a single hair of a beard or mustache.

c. Whisker is informal English,meaning a narrow margin ,or a hairsbreadth,just like a very thin thread.

你“不能”把英语作为上面英语表述的“学习语言”、“阅读语言”、“理解语言”或者“使用语言”,而只能是中文(统统翻译成中文意思来理解)?

2)英语之外有英语:Put English into English,把英语作为“使用语言”:

1.Okay.Got it.To do something is informal English or an English idiom.

2. A whisker a hair of beard or mustache, something very thin just like a thread.

3. So to do something by a whisker means To do something by a narrow margin,just like the breadth of a hair.

4.Usually we say:To win something by a whisker,to succeed by a whisker,or to fail by a whisker,to miss something by a whisker,to lose something by a whisker.

5. For example,we can say:

- At the end we lost the competition by a whisker(We almost won) and we were so disappointed.

再重申一遍,你之所以“学习”do something by a whisker,最主要是为了训练自己把英语变成学习英语时的“学习语言”、“阅读语言”、“理解语言”或者“使用语言”。

这是个能力训练,而不只是为了达到用中文(统统翻译成中文意思)来理解的目的。
