Making mistakes is a very interesting topic. There are a lot of ideas on this topic. I have a lot of experience with this because I also learned a new language， Spanish.

犯錯(cuò)是一個(gè)很有趣的話題，關(guān)于這個(gè)話題大家有很多看法。我在這方面有很多經(jīng)驗(yàn)，因?yàn)槲乙矊W(xué)了一門新的語言，西班牙語。

When I speak Spanish， I dont care3 if I make mistakes or not. The reason4 why I dont care about mistakes is simple5. When I learnt my native6 language， I didnt care about making mistakes， either. So why should I care now？ I use any language to express7 my ideas. That is all. I know that when I read and speak a lot， my Spanish will be better and better.

當(dāng)我說西班牙語時(shí)，我不在乎會(huì)不會(huì)犯錯(cuò)。我不在乎犯錯(cuò)的原因很簡(jiǎn)單，我學(xué)母語時(shí)也不在乎犯不犯錯(cuò)，那我現(xiàn)在為什么要在乎呢？我使用任何語言都是為了表達(dá)我的想法，僅此而已。我知道，當(dāng)我多讀多說時(shí)，我的西班牙語會(huì)越來越好。

I know that this can look very simple， but it is my idea. This is my experience8 after many years of both teaching and learning languages. It works very well for me and many of my students.

我知道這看起來很簡(jiǎn)單，但這是我的觀點(diǎn)，是我多年語言教學(xué)和學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。它對(duì)我和我的許多學(xué)生都很有效。

Now I know 1，500 words in Spanish. A two-year-old child can use as many as that.

目前，我會(huì)1500個(gè)西班牙語單詞。一個(gè)兩歲孩子就可以運(yùn)用那么多詞。

Two-year-old children make a lot of mistakes when they speak， but they dont care about their mistakes. They go on using their native language and when they are three years old， they make very few mistakes and when they are four years old， they already speak very well with hardly making any mistakes. You can do the same.

兩歲的孩子說話時(shí)會(huì)犯很多錯(cuò)誤，但他們不在乎自己的錯(cuò)誤。他們繼續(xù)使用母語，三歲時(shí)，他們很少犯錯(cuò)誤;四歲時(shí)，他們已經(jīng)說得很好了，幾乎不會(huì)犯任何錯(cuò)誤。你也可以做到。

Learning languages is like learning to play a musical9 instrument10. It needs to practice. When you start to practice， at the beginning you make mistakes. It is normal11. Take it as a necessary12 part of your learning.

學(xué)習(xí)語言就像學(xué)習(xí)演奏樂器，需要多練習(xí)。當(dāng)你開始練習(xí)時(shí)，起初你一定會(huì)犯錯(cuò)。這是正常的，把它當(dāng)作你學(xué)習(xí)過程中必要的一部分吧。

Dont worry. Everybody who learns a foreign language makes mistakes from time to time. When you speak English， you dont need to care about mistakes. What is important is expressing your ideas.

別擔(dān)心，每一個(gè)學(xué)外語的人都會(huì)不時(shí)地犯錯(cuò)。當(dāng)你說英語時(shí)，不要在乎犯錯(cuò)，重要的是表達(dá)你的想法。
