汤姆:
Can you make any suggestions?
你能给我点建议吗?
罗斯:
OK. English is becoming an international language. It`s really important. But like everything else, you really need to practice and practice before you can speak it well.
好的.英语是一种国际语言.它非常重要.可就像任何事情一样.在说好它之前你需要大量的练习.
汤姆:
How?
怎么练?
罗斯:
Well. Let me take something for instance. You know, when people first learn to drive a car, they can`t do it well. They`ll make a lot of mistakes. They may step on the gas when it`s time to stop the car. But that`s natural. That happens to everyone.
我给你举个例子吧.你知道当人们学开车的时候.他们会犯很多错误.在该刹车的时候他们可能会踩油门.可那很正常.每个人都犯这种错误. 
汤姆:
I know what you mean.
我懂你的意思.
罗斯:
Learning English is just like driving a car. All you have to do is to practice and don`t be afraid of making mistakes. Because the more mistakes you make, the quicker you can learn English well.
学英语就像开车一样.你需要做的就是练习.别怕犯错误.你犯的错越多.就越能快点好英语.
汤姆:
It`s easy to say, but hard to do.
说起来容易做起来难.
罗斯:
Just take your time. I`m always glad to help and don`t forget that language is not about those words or grammar rules. Cultural background plays a vital role as well.
别着急啊.我会帮你的.别忘了语言不仅仅是单词加语法.文化背景也很重要.
汤姆:
