电视剧叙事序列中的基本单元

English television shows are a great way to learn English and maybe there's a new English TV series that you're about to watch.

看英语电视节目是学习英语的好方法，也许您即将观看一部新的英语电视剧。

In this English lesson, I'm going to tell you about seven things that you should do before you watch that TV series.

在这节英语课上，我将告诉你在看这部电视剧之前你应该做的七件事。

When you do these things before you watch the TV series, it will make it easier to understand, I guarantee you will learn more English words while you're watching the TV series and I think it'll just make it a more enjoyable experience. (upbeat music)

当你在看电视剧之前做这些事情，它会更容易理解，我保证你在看电视剧的时候会学到更多的英语单词，我认为这只会让它成为一种更愉快的体验。 （欢快的音乐）

The first thing you should do before watching a new TV series is go to YouTube and search for a trailer for that TV series.

在观看新的电视剧之前，您应该做的第一件事是访问 YouTube 并搜索该电视剧的预告片。

A trailer is a short introduction to the series you're about to watch.

预告片是对您将要观看的系列的简短介绍。

In it, you'll find out about the location of the show.

在其中，您将了解演出的地点。

You'll find out about where it takes place.

你会发现它发生的地方。

You'll be introduced to some of the main characters, and you might even learn some of their names.

你会被介绍给一些主要人物，你甚至可能会知道他们的一些名字。

When you watch the trailer, it helps you to be more familiar with the show when you start watching it and this will help you understand more about what's going on.

当您观看预告片时，当您开始观看预告片时，它可以帮助您更熟悉该节目，这将帮助您更多地了解正在发生的事情。

So the first thing you should do, go to YouTube, search for a trailer, watch it, and get introduced to the show.

因此，您应该做的第一件事是访问 YouTube，搜索预告片，观看它，然后了解该节目。

The second thing you should do is go to the Wikipedia page for that TV series and read the premise.

您应该做的第二件事是转到该电视剧的维基百科页面并阅读前提。

The premise is again, another summary of what the show is going to be about.

前提又是，节目将要讲述的内容的另一个总结。

It's usually one or two sentences long and most TV show Wikipedia pages have that section.

它通常只有一两句话，大多数电视节目维基百科页面都有该部分。

The premise will tell you a little bit, again, about the location and the characters, and maybe a little introduction to the plot.

前提会再次告诉你一些关于地点和人物的信息，也许还有一些情节介绍。

The plot is what the story is actually about.

情节是故事的实际内容。

So the second thing you should do, find the Wikipedia page.

所以你应该做的第二件事，找到维基百科页面。

You can do this in English or in your own language, by the way, find the section labeled "Premise," and read it over and get an understanding of what the show is going to be about.

你可以用英语或你自己的语言做到这一点，顺便说一句，找到标有“前提”的部分，然后阅读它并了解节目的内容。

The third thing you should do is write down the names of all the characters in the show.

你应该做的第三件事是写下节目中所有角色的名字。

You can actually find this information on the same Wikipedia page where we found the premise.

实际上，您可以在我们找到前提的同一维基百科页面上找到此信息。

Usually if you scroll down a little bit, there'll be a section with all the names.

通常， 如果您向下滚动一点，就会出现一个包含所有名称的部分。

If you're lucky, there will even be small descriptions of each character.

如果幸运的话，甚至会有每个角色的简短描述。

So take some time, find a pen and a piece of paper and actually write down the names of every single character that's in the show with a little description behind them.

所以花点时间，找一支笔和一张纸，写下剧中每个角色的名字，并在后面加上一些描述。

Then when you start watching the show, you'll already be familiar with the people who are in the show.

然后，当您开始观看节目时，您就会熟悉节目中的人物。

You'll know some of their names.

你会知道他们的一些名字。

You'll know a little bit about what they're all about and what they might even do based on the descriptions that you read.

根据您阅读的描述，您会略微了解它们的全部内容以及它们可能会做什么。

So number three, write down a list of all the characters that are in the show.

所以第三，写下节目中所有角色的列表。

The fourth thing you should do is you should read a description of the first episode.

你应该做的第四件事是你应该阅读第一集的描述。

Don't read a description of every episode, but if you scroll down even further on the Wikipedia page for the TV series you're about to watch, there will probably be a section where they describe each episode.

不要阅读每一集的描述，但如果你在你将要观看的电视剧的维基百科页面上向下滚动，可能会有一个部分描述每一集。

Read the description for episode one.

阅读第一集的描述。

The reason I don't want you to read all the other descriptions is I don't want you to read any spoilers.

我不希望您阅读所有其他描述的原因是我不希望您阅读任何剧透。

Spoilers are when you find out things about a TV series that you didn't want to find out before you watched it.

剧透是指您在观看电视剧之前发现了不想知道的内容。

I mean, it's nice to know some things before you watch it, but you do want to be surprised while you're watching it as well.

我的意思是，在观看之前了解一些事情是件好事，但您确实希望在观看时也感到惊讶。

So the fourth thing you can do and you can consider this one optional, scroll down a little further.

所以你可以做的第四件事，你可以考虑这个是可选的，向下滚动一点。

Find the section where they describe each episode and read the description of episode one.

找到他们描述每一集的部分，然后阅读第一集的描述。

See if you can get a sense of what happens in the first episode before you start watching the whole series.

在开始观看整个系列之前，看看您是否能了解第一集中发生的事情。

The fifth thing you should do is you should learn some vocabulary based on the genre of the TV series.

第五件事是根据电视剧的类型学习一些词汇。

Here's what I mean by that.

这就是我的意思。

If you're going to watch a fantasy TV series, learn about swords and dragons, learn all the words you would need to know to watch that type of show.

如果你要看一部奇幻电视剧，学习剑与龙，学习所有你需要知道的单词来观看这种类型的节目。

If you're going to watch a TV series that is science fiction, learn about rockets and planets and all the words you would need to understand when watching a science fiction show, or if you're watching a TV series that's based on a little bit of romance, learn about love letters and holding hands and some of the words and phrases that we use in English when we talk about love.

如果你要看一部科幻电视剧，了解火箭和行星以及你在观看科幻节目时需要理解的所有单词，或者如果你正在看一部基于一点点的电视剧一点浪漫，了解情书和牵手，以及我们在谈论爱情时用英语使用的一些单词和短语。

So the fifth thing to do before you watch a TV series, make sure you know some of the words, phrases, the vocabulary that you'll need to understand the show.

所以在你看电视剧之前要做的第五件事，确保你知道一些你需要理解节目的单词、短语和词汇。

The sixth thing that you can do before watching a TV series to learn English, watch the first episode in your own language if that's possible.

在看电视剧学习英语之前你可以做的第六件事，如果可能的话，用你自己的语言看第一集。

If you're watching the TV series on a streaming service like Amazon Prime or Netflix or another one, usually you can change the language.

如果您正在通过 Amazon Prime 或 Netflix 或其他流媒体服务观看电视剧，通常您可以更改语言。

When you start watching a series, it's important to get a good understanding of the characters and the location and the story.

当您开始观看连续剧时，重要的是要充分了解角色、地点和故事。

Watching the first episode in your own language can really help.

用您自己的语言观看第一集真的很有帮助。

If you do this though, make sure you rewatch episode one in English before you continue with episode two.

但是，如果您这样做，请确保在继续第二集之前用英语重新观看第一集。

So anyways, another thing you can do to improve your understanding of a new TV series, watch the first episode in your own language.

所以无论如何，你可以做另一件事来提高你对一部新电视剧的理解，用你自己的语言看第一集。

The seventh thing you can do is you can write down what you think the TV series is going to be about.

你可以做的第七件事是你可以写下你认为这部电视剧的内容。

I know this sounds a little strange.

我知道这听起来有点奇怪。

You haven't watched it yet, and I'm asking you to write about it, but this kind of gets your brain ready.

你还没有看过， 我要你写下来，但这会让你的大脑做好准备。

If you've already watched the trailer and you've read the premise on Wikipedia, this will be a little easier.

如果您已经看过预告片并且已经在维基百科上阅读了前提，那么这会容易一些。

But take some time to write down what you think will happen in the TV series, what you think certain characters will do, even if you're wrong, it just helps your brain to get ready to watch the entire TV series.

但是花一些时间写下你认为电视剧中会发生什么，你认为某些角色会做什么，即使你错了，它也只是帮助你的大脑准备好观看整部电视剧。

So number seven, take some time, sit down, write down what you think it will be about.

所以第七点，花点时间，坐下来，写下你的想法。

Well, thank you so much for watching this English lesson about things you can do before you watch a TV series so that when you do watch it, you can understand more and that it can just be a more effective tool for your English learning.
