Hey there I'm Emma from mmmEnglish and today I'm gonna teach you to use some simple and very useful phrases to share your opinion to agree and disagree and to ask questions. All of these things are pretty useful generally but they are perfect if you are part of an English book club.
嘿，我是 Emma，欢迎来到美味英语频道，今天我要教你使用一些简单且非常有用的短语来分享你的意见，表示同意和不同意以及提出问题。一般来说的话，这些内容都是非常有用的，但如果你是英语读书俱乐部的一员的话，简直可以说是完美。
Joining or even starting your own book club is an excellent way to practise your English and there are so many reasons why. You might be able to practise reading out loud together.
加入甚至创办自己的读书俱乐部是练习英语的绝佳方式，原因有很多。你们或许可以一起练习大声朗读。
You could have fun discussing characters and storylines or even study and learn new words and expressions together as a group. So I'm really excited about today's video.
你们可以愉快地讨论角色和故事情节，甚至可以作为一个小组一起学习和学习新单词和表达方式。所以我对今天的视频感到非常兴奋。
I hope that you are too. Let's get into it.
希望你也是。让我们开始吧。
So I was inspired to make this video by some of the members inside the Hey Lady! community who've started their own book club and they're really enjoying the opportunity to meet regularly, to discuss the books that they're reading. Hey Lady! is an online community for women learning English.
我受到 Hey Lady! 内部成员的启发制作了这个视频，她们成立了自己的读书俱乐部社区，她们很喜欢有定期见面的机会，讨论正在阅读的书籍。Hey Lady! 是一个女性学习英语的在线社区。
It's a wonderful place to learn and to improve your English speaking skills but it's also a really great place to start or to join a book club. I hope that by the end of this video you're going to know what to expect and also what to say at a book club so that you can get out there and join one.
这是一个学习和提高英语口语技能的好地方，也是开始或加入读书俱乐部的好地方。希望在本视频结束时，你可以知道在读书俱乐部会发生什么以及该说些什么，以便你可以去加入一个俱乐部。
Hey, I haven't even asked you yet. Have you ever been part of a book club?
嘿，我还没问你呢。你曾经参加过读书俱乐部吗？
What types of books did you read together? And how regularly did you meet?
你们一起读过哪些类型的书？你们多久见面一次？
Now all book clubs are different but perhaps your book club might meet to discuss each chapter of a book as you go, maybe they meet more regularly. Or a little further apart once everyone's finished the book, then they meet to discuss the book as a whole.
读书俱乐部都是不同的，但也许你的读书俱乐部可能会一起讨论书的每一章，也许会更加经常地聚会。或者，如果大家都读完了这本书的话，他们会一起来讨论整本书。
Either way, it is a really good idea to be taking notes and writing things down as you go. And the things that you might want to take note about include some of the moments in the story that you felt were really significant or moments that you enjoyed.
无论哪种方式，边读边做笔记和写点东西都是一个非常好的主意。你可能想要记下来的可能包括故事中你认为非常重要的一些时刻，或你喜欢的一些瞬间。
Perhaps you came across an interesting quote or reflection in the book. You might take note of the character that you respect or admire the most and why you think so.
也许你在书中看到了一句有趣的话或反思。你可能会记下来你最尊重或最欣赏的角色以及喜欢的原因。
It's also really common to think about and to talk about the theme that runs through a story so that might be a common theme about the importance of community or the undying love of family. So when a theme is like an idea that remains present throughout the whole story so it keeps coming up in different ways throughout the book.
思考和谈论贯穿整个故事的主题也很常见，可能是关于社群重要性或家庭永恒之爱的共同主题。主旨类似于一个想法，贯穿整个故事，会在整本书中以不同的方式出现。
Now the whole point of going to a book club is to share your opinion about the book right, about the storyline or about the characters so let's practise some of the phrases that will help you to share your opinion in a really clear and concise way. You might say I think.
参加读书俱乐部的重点是分享你对这本书、故事情节或人物的看法，所以让我们练习一些短语，以帮助你以非常清晰简洁的方式分享你的观点吧。你可能会说我认为。
I consider. I believe.
我觉得。我相信。
These are all really, really great verbs to share an opinion. You could say: In my opinion or as far as I'm concerned.
这些都是非常非常好的动词可以用来分享意见。你可以说：在我看来或就我而言。
So when it's your turn to share your thoughts at the book club, you get to combine your notes that you've been taking as you've been reading with some of these simple expressions to share your opinions. I have to jump in with a spoiler alert.
当轮到你在读书俱乐部分享想法时，你可以将阅读时所做的笔记与这些简单的表达方式结合起来，分享你的观点。我要给大家一个剧透警报。
I'm going to use the book Where'd You Go Bernadette? By Maria Stemple. I'll try not to give too much away in case you haven't but I will be giving some examples using the characters and the plot as well.
我将使用这本书《伯纳黛特你去哪儿了？》 ，作者是玛丽亚·斯坦普尔。如果你还没有看的话，我会尽量不要透露太多，但我也会给大家一些关于角色和情节的例子。
I really enjoyed the mother-daughter relationship between the two main characters, Bernadette and Bee. I believe that Bee feels like she can do anything because her mother will always be there to have her back.
我真的很喜欢伯纳黛特和碧这两个主要角色之间的母女关系。我觉得碧感觉她可以做任何事情，因为她的母亲会一直在那里支持她。
Well in my opinion, Bernadette is really quite a rude and mean woman. She doesn't really get along with any of the other school mothers and she's always saying offensive things about people.
在我看来，伯纳黛特是一个非常粗鲁和刻薄的女人。她与学校的其他母亲都相处得不好，而且她总是说一些冒犯别人的话。
As far as I'm concerned, Bernadette's a great mum. It's a tough job to have and she does the best that she can considering some of her mental health issues.
就我而言，伯纳黛特是一位伟大的妈妈。这是一项艰巨的工作，她会努去考虑她的一些心理健康问题。
"As far as I'm concerned" is a really great way of sharing your opinion if the idea that you're sharing is different to the other people who are there so it's a really great way to introduce the fact that you're quite strong in your opinion and that it might be opposing the other person's. Okay now let's talk about the language that you need to agree and disagree because of course, being part of a book club is about listening to someone's opinion and their point of view even if you don't agree with them.
如果你分享的想法与在场的其他人不同的话，那么“就我而言”是一种非常好的分享你的观点的方式，这是一种非常好的方式来说明你的观点很强烈，而且可能与其他人的观点相反。好的，现在让我们谈谈你表达同意和不同意所需要的语言，因为当然了，成为读书俱乐部的一员就是倾听某人的意见和他们的观点，即使你不同意他们的观点。
So if someone does say something that you just completely disagree with, you've got to hear them out but then you get to continue the discussion by sharing your own different opinion. So you could say:
因此，如果有人确实说了一些你完全不同意的内容的话，你必须听听他们的意见，然后你可以通过分享自己的不同意见来继续讨论。所以你可以说：
Really? I have a different view. And then give your reason.
真的吗？ 我有不同的看法。然后说出你的理由。
Or you might try and find out a little bit more about why they think so differently to you, what part of the book helped them to form that opinion. I see what you're saying but why do you think that they did that?
或者你可以尝试更多地了解他们为什么与你的想法如此不同，这本书的哪一部分让他们形成了这种观点。我明白你在说什么，但你认为他们为什么这样认为呢？
Or why do you think that happened? You can also agree with someone in a really simple way by saying:
或者你认为为什么会这样呢？你也可以用一种非常简单的方式同意某人的意见：
I agree with you but it's a good idea to back up what you're saying with an example or something else from the book. I think that Bernadette is an awful, selfish character.
我同意你的看法，但最好用一个例子或书中的其他内容来支持你所说的观点。我认为伯纳黛特是一个可怕、自私的角色。
She broke a promise to her daughter and walked out on her family. I have a different view entirely.
她违背了对女儿的承诺，离开了她的家人。我的看法完全不同。
I think that Bernadette is a fun-loving character. She's got a great relationship with her daughter.
我认为伯纳黛特是一个有趣的角色。她和女儿的关系很好。
She struggles with a mental illness that she hasn't properly dealt with yet. I agree with you there, even though she doesn't like leaving the house or being around lots of other people, she still makes plans to go to Antarctica with her family.
她与一种她还没办法处理好的精神疾病作斗争。我同意你的看法，尽管她不喜欢离开家或与很多其他人在一起，但她仍然计划和家人一起去南极洲。
Once you're feeling a little more comfortable, you might even want to ask the group some questions of your own and start leading the discussion or the conversation. So let's talk about asking questions and I've got a few go-to questions that you can use.
当你感觉更舒服一点的时候，你甚至可能想向小组提出一些你自己的问题，并开始引导讨论或对话。因此，让我们谈谈提问题吧，我准备了一些你可以使用的常见问题。
Feel free to take them, to use them at your book club if you would like. In your opinion, what was the strongest theme that came through the book?
如果你愿意的话，可以随意使用，在你的读书俱乐部使用它们。在你看来，这本书中最深刻的主题是什么？
If you could talk to the author, what questions would you ask them? Were there any quotes or passages that really stood out to you?
如果你可以与作者交流的话，你会问他们什么问题？有没有让你印象深刻的句子或段落？
Can you personally relate to the experiences of a character in the story? Before you bring these questions to the group definitely try and answer them yourself.
你能亲身感受故事中角色的经历吗？在你将这些问题带到小组讨论之前，一定要尝试自己回答一下。
That way when someone answers the question you can also weigh in with your thoughts or your experiences of the book as well. I really loved reading this book. It's funny, it's quirky.
这样，当有人回答问题时，你也可以平衡自己的想法或对本书的体验。我真的很喜欢读这本书。 很好笑，很古怪。
It's told through the eyes of many different characters and in different formats but it also deals with mental health issues so it creates a lot of really great opportunities to discuss mental health and you know the challenges of family in lots of different contexts. You can also find it on Audible as well which is where I listen to the book, the link to audible is down in the description and if you're not a member yet, you can even download this book for free and get started.
它通过许多不同角色的视角以不同的形式讲述，但它也涉及心理健康问题，因此它创造了很多非常好的讨论心理健康的机会，很多家庭在许多不同的背景下面临的挑战。你也可以在 Audible 上找到这本书，我在那里听了这本书，Audible 的链接已经放在描述中了，如果你还不是会员的话，甚至可以免费下载这本书并开始阅读。
Make sure you let me know what you think about the book if you read it. Share your thoughts using some of the language that you learned today in this video.
如果你阅读了这本书的话，请一定要告诉我你对这本书的看法。使用你今天在此视频中学到的一些语言分享你的想法吧。
Share an opinion about your favourite character, maybe you agree or disagree with some of my opinions about the characters so you can use the language that you learned in this video. Do it down in the comments or you can jump over to the mmmEnglish blog where you might even want to pose some questions to the others who are there chatting about the book in the comments below my blog post.
分享对你最喜欢的角色的看法，也许你同意或不同意我对这些角色的一些看法，可以使用在这个视频中学到的语言。可以写在评论区，或者你可以跳转到 mmmEnglish 博客，在那里你甚至可以在我的博客文章下方的评论中向在那里讨论这本书的其他人提出一些问题。

I really hope this video has inspired you to think about or to join an English book club and has helped you to feel a bit more comfortable sharing your opinions and your thoughts about books. Now last time we all did something together, we ran the mmmEnglish community speaking challenge, the lockdown challenge which I've linked to right here.
我希望这段视频能激发你思考，或让你产生加入英语读书俱乐部的想法，可以帮助你更轻松地分享你对书籍的看法。上次我们一起做某件事时，我们进行了 mmmEnglish 社区演讲挑战，也就是疫情隔离的挑战，我已经把链接放在这里了。
It was amazing. I absolutely loved it so I'm looking forward to taking part in this reading challenge with you right now, so happy reading friends and I will see you next week.
