读故事
At times I like to abandon my ability to speak and write in an academic way, which my friends call an abuse of language.
When I am about to go aboard a plane to go abroad, I often still think about this.At these times I am so absent minded that I almost miss the call for “all aboard”.
In another country I often avoid abstract language when talking to other academics and try not to accent every word Instead, I aim for clear and simple communication to help others absorb what I am saying.
This is not easy since I like to abuse language and always try to use the full range of language to the best of my ability However, I think that one can abandon oneself to new experiences when overseas without treating one's training with abandon.
It has also been suggested that I get rid of my strong accent, and my absence from my country might accelerate this change
In the meantime, I'll think of ways to use Band 4 words, in concrete ways, rather than in the abstract.
Readers can then abstract what suits them best, from the book, towards developing absolute faith in their ability to master English.

有时我希望放弃用学术语言说话和写作的能力,我的朋友说这是对语言的滥用。当我准备上飞机去国外的时候,我还经常在想这个问题。每到此时我想得如此出神,以致差点没有听到“请登机”的广播。在另外一个国家,与其他大学教师交谈时我通常不使用抽象的语言,并且尽量不重读每个词。相反,我的目标是用简单明了的语言,以便别人能吸收我说的话。这并不是件易事,因为我喜欢滥用语言并总是试图尽自己努力限度地使用语言。不过,我想一个人在海外时不妨让自己沉溺于新的体验,只要不过于放纵而损于修养。还有人劝我改掉浓重的口音,而我离开本国的外出期可能会加快这个改变。同时,我还要想办法使用四级词汇,要用具体而不是抽象的方式,这样读者就可以从书中摘取最适合自己的信息,从而对自己掌握英语的能力树立的信心。
