英语“使用能力”训练:break the ice
英语短语break the ice的学习重点不是用来给你“猜和知道中文意思是什么”的,重点是用来给你做英语“使用能力”训练的,训练你Put English into English的能力,这个能力也是口语表达能力。
本题英语“使用能力”难度系数:★★★☆☆
在Yahoo上“探索、发现、求证”的英语“使用能力”训练包括两个能力步骤:
1. 用Yahoo查英英字典的英语释义
2. 对查阅到的英语释义,做“使用英语”表达训练,即Put English into English训练(千万不能用中文去读英语释义,变成Put English into Chinese)。
1) Yahoo break the ice define(用Yahoo查英英字典的英语释义)
Idiom:break the ice

2. To attempt to become friends with someone.

4. To make a start, pave the way.
5. To relax a tense or very formal situation.
6. If a person, event or activity breaks the ice, they make people feel more relaxed and comfortable in a social situation.
这些英语很多地方你不需要任何中文就能理解break the ice的意思,你是在“把学过的英语用起来”,而不是“把中文用起来”。这点进步就很了不起。
你现在需要的就是直接用英语记住这些英语,而且今后见到break the ice就能“说出”这些英语“口语”。
