Thanks for tuning in again.

感謝您再次收聽我們的節目。

We love having you here with us.

我們很高興有你和我們在一起。

You know, Gwen, one thing I've noticed is how much our audience loves topics about developing their thinking skills.

你知道嗎，格溫，我注意到一件事，那就是我們的聽眾非常喜歡關於培養思維能力的話題。

That's true, Leo.

沒錯，里歐。

It makes sense.

這是有道理的。

They're probably looking for ways to improve their English learning process.

他們可能正在尋找改進英語學習過程的方法。

Absolutely.

當然。

Speaking of improving, Gwen, have you ever heard about growth mindset and fixed mindset?

說到進步，格溫，你聽說過 "成長型思維 "和 "固定型思維 "嗎？

Of course, Leo.

當然，里歐

A growth mindset is all about believing that your abilities can grow with effort and learning, while a fixed mindset assumes your abilities are set in stone.

成長型思維模式就是相信自己的能力可以通過努力和學習得到提高，而固定型思維模式則認為自己的能力是一成不變的。

Oh, so like, if I believe I can be the next big comedian by practicing every day, that's a growth mindset?

哦，這麼說來，如果我相信每天練習就能成為下一個大喜劇演員，這就是成長型思維模式？

Well, let's not get carried away, Leo.

好了，別太得意忘形了，里歐。

But yes, it's about believing in improvement.

但是，是的，就是要相信進步。

Great.

好極了

Because today's topic is all about how adopting a growth mindset can help you in your language learning journey and beyond.

因為今天的主題是 "採用成長型思維模式如何幫助你的語言學習之旅及其他"。

That's right.

這就對了。

Stick around and we'll break it all down.

請繼續關注，我們將為您一一解答。

And don't forget, we've created a free PDF with tips and tricks.

別忘了，我們還製作了一份免費的 PDF 文件，其中包含各種技巧和竅門。

Check it out in the description or comments below.

請在下面的描述或評論中查看。

So Gwen, growth mindset, it sounds fancy, but what is it really?

那麼，格溫，成長型思維模式，聽起來很花哨，但它到底是什麼呢？

Well, Leo, it's the belief that your abilities, intelligence, and skills can improve through hard work, learning, and persistence.

好吧，獅子座，這就是相信自己的能力、智慧和技能可以通過努力工作、學習和堅持不懈來提高。

So it's like saying, I'm not good at this yet.

這就好比說，我還不擅長這個。

Exactly.

沒錯。

It's about focusing on progress, not perfection.

這就是注重進步，而不是完美。

People with a growth mindset see mistakes as stepping stones, not roadblocks.

擁有成長型思維模式的人將錯誤視為墊腳石，而不是路障。

That's refreshing.

這讓人耳目一新。

So, if I mess up my English grammar, it's not the end of the world?

那麼，如果我把英語語法弄得一團糟，就不是世界末日了嗎？

Not at all.

完全沒有。

It's just a chance to learn and get better.

這只是一個學習和進步的機會。

In fact, studies by Stanford professor Carol Dweck show that embracing challenges helps you grow stronger mentally.

事實上，斯坦福大學教授卡羅爾-德韋克（Carol Dweck）的研究表明，迎接挑戰有助於你的心理成長。

Oh, I've heard about her work.

哦，我聽說過她的作品。

She talks about how kids who believe they can improve do better in school, right?

她談到，相信自己能進步的孩子在學校表現得更好，對嗎？

Exactly.

沒錯。

And it's not just kids.

不只是孩子們。

This works for adults, too.

這也適用於成年人。

It's like the phrase, you're never too old to learn.

就像那句話說的，學習永遠不嫌老。

I like that.

我喜歡這樣。

But how do I actually develop this magical mindset?

但如何才能真正培養出這種神奇的心態呢？

Start by seeing challenges as opportunities.

首先要將挑戰視為機遇。

For example, if you find English pronunciation difficult, think of it as a fun puzzle to solve.

例如，如果你覺得英語發音很難，那就把它當成一個有趣的難題來解決。

Oh, like trying to say rural without twisting my tongue?

哦，就像在說農村話時不繞彎子？

Exactly.

沒錯。

And don't shy away from mistakes.

不要回避錯誤。

Remember, every mistake is proof that you're trying.

記住，每一次錯誤都證明你在努力。

That's comforting.

這讓我很欣慰。

But sometimes, failure feels so personal.

但有時，失敗給人的感覺是如此個人化。

Like, what if I'm just not good at something?

比如，如果我只是不擅長某件事怎麼辦？

That's where you reframe your thinking.

這就是你重塑思維的地方。

Instead of saying, I can't do this, ask, what can I do to get better?

與其說 "我做不到"，不如問 "我該怎麼做才能做得更好？

I like that perspective.

我喜歡這個觀點。

So, effort plays a big role here?

那麼，努力在這裡扮演了重要角色？

Absolutely.

當然。

Think of effort like watering a plant.

把努力想象成澆灌植物。

Without it, nothing grows.

沒有它，一切都無法生長。

And what about persistence?

那麼堅持呢？

How does that fit in?

這有什麼關係？

Persistence is key.

堅持是關鍵。

It's like climbing a mountain.

就像爬山一樣。

Slow and steady wins the race.

慢而穩，方能勝出。

You keep going, one step at a time, even when it's hard.

即使困難重重，你也要一步一個腳印地走下去。

So no shortcuts then?

那就沒有捷徑了？

Not if you want real growth.

如果你想實現真正的增長，那就不可能。

Shortcuts might give you quick results.

捷徑可能會給你帶來快速的結果。

But they don't build the long-term skills or resilience you need.

但它們並不能培養你所需的長期技能或應變能力。

But isn't it tempting to take the easy way out?

但是，走捷徑不是很誘人嗎？

Of course it is.

當然是這樣。

But think about it this way.

但你可以這樣想。

When you take a shortcut, you miss out on valuable lessons along the way.

如果走捷徑，就會錯過沿途的寶貴經驗。

So, the journey is just as important as the destination?

那麼，旅程和目的地一樣重要嗎？

Exactly.

沒錯。

Imagine learning English just by memorizing words for a test.

試想一下，僅靠背單詞應付考試就能學好英語嗎？

You might pass the test, but will you be able to have a real conversation?

你可能會通過考試，但你能進行真正的對話嗎？

I get it now.

我現在明白了。

It's like building a house without a strong foundation.

這就好比蓋房子沒有牢固的地基。

It might look good for a while, but it won't last.

它可能一時好看，但不會持久。

That's a great analogy, Leo.

這是一個很好的比喻，利奧。

Growth mindset is about taking the time to build that strong foundation.

成長型思維就是花時間打下堅實的基礎。

And what about patience?

那麼耐心呢？

Do you think it's connected to this whole no shortcuts idea?

你認為這與 "不走捷徑 "的想法有關嗎？

Definitely.

當然。

Patience teaches you to value the effort you're putting in.

耐心讓你學會珍惜自己付出的努力。

It's like planting a tree.

這就像種樹一樣。

You water it every day, but it takes time to grow and bear fruit.

你每天都給它澆水，但它需要時間來成長和結果。

Oh, I like that image.

哦，我喜歡這個畫面。

So, every time I make a mistake, it's like watering my tree a little more?

所以，我每犯一次錯誤，就等於給我的樹多澆了一點水？

Exactly.

沒錯。

Mistakes are part of growth.

錯誤是成長的一部分。

They show you're trying, and trying is the first step to improving.

它們表明你在努力，而努力是進步的第一步。

And when I finally see the fruit, it'll taste even sweeter because I've worked for it.

當我終於看到果實時，它的味道會更甜美，因為我為它付出了努力。

That's the mindset.

這就是心態。

Growth isn't about perfection.

成長不在於完美。

It's about progress.

這關乎進步。

Got it.

知道了

From now on, no shortcuts for me.

從現在起，我再也不走捷徑了。

I'll water my tree every day, even if it takes time.

我會每天給我的樹澆水，即使澆水需要時間。

And trust me, Leo, it'll be worth it.

相信我，里歐，這一切都是值得的。

Let's take a closer look at five useful phrases from today's conversation.

讓我們仔細看看今天對話中的五個有用短語。

格溫，我們已經談到了成長心態和克服挑戰。

What's next?

下一步是什麼？

Let's talk about feedback.

我們來談談反饋。

Oh, feedback.

哦，反饋。

You mean like when I tell a joke and you say it's not funny?

你是說我講了個笑話，你卻說不好笑？

Well, not quite.

也不盡然。

Feedback is a tool to improve, not just criticism.

反饋是改進的工具，而不僅僅是責備。

I guess that depends on how you take it, right?

我想這取決於你如何看待它，對嗎？

That's the key.

這就是關鍵所在。

A growth mindset helps us see feedback as an opportunity to grow, not a personal attack.

成長型思維幫助我們將反饋視為成長的機會，而不是人身攻擊。

That makes sense.

這就說得通了。

So how can we take feedback positively?

那麼，我們該如何積極地接受反饋呢？

Start by asking yourself, what can I learn from this?

先問問自己，我能從中學到什麼？

Instead of thinking, they're being mean, think, how can this help me improve?

不要想 "他們太刻薄了"，而是要想 "這對我的進步有什麼幫助？

I like that.

我喜歡這樣。

It's like turning lemons into lemonade.

這就像把檸檬變成檸檬水。

That's right.

Another thing to keep in mind is surrounding yourself with positivity.

另一件要牢記的事就是用積極的心態去面對周圍的一切。

You mean like hanging out with people who lift you up?

你是說和那些讓你振奮的人在一起？

Yes.

是的。

Whether it's friends, colleagues, or a community, being around people who encourage a growth mindset can make a huge difference.

無論是朋友、同事還是社區，與鼓勵成長型思維方式的人在一起，都會產生巨大的影響。

Good comparison, Leo.

Start by trying something new every month.

It could be learning a skill, trying a recipe, or even taking on a small project at work.

I feel like asking questions instead of focusing on what we can't do helps a lot.

我覺得提出問題而不是專注於我們做不到的事情會有很大幫助。

Yeah, Leo.

是的，里歐

It's all about shifting your perspective.

這一切都與轉變你的視角有關。

For example, instead of saying, I can't understand this grammar, you could ask, what steps can I take to learn it better?

例如，與其說 "我聽不懂這種文法"，不如問 "我能採取什麼措施來更好地學習這種文法？

Oh, like turning a wall into a door.

哦，比如把一堵牆變成一扇門。

That's powerful.

太強大了

Exactly.

沒錯。

It's about seeing challenges as opportunities.

這就是將挑戰視為機遇。

What about when things don't work out, though?

但是，如果事情不順利呢？

Like, you try something new and fail.

比如，你嘗試新事物，但失敗了。

That can be discouraging.

這可能會令人氣餒。

That's a big part of a growth mindset, Leo.

這是成長型思維模式的重要組成部分，李奧。

Instead of seeing failure as the end, you can view it as feedback.

與其將失敗視為終點，不如將其視為反饋。

So it's like a roadmap.

是以，它就像一個路線圖。

Failure shows you where to take a better route.

失敗會告訴你哪裡可以走更好的路。

For instance, if you try to speak English and make mistakes, that's not failure.

例如，如果你試著說英語卻犯了錯誤，這並不是失敗。

It's a sign of progress.

這是進步的標誌。

I guess every mistake is like a stepping stone.

Let's talk more about creating a supportive environment.

讓我們來談談如何營造一個有利的環境。

You mean surrounding yourself with people who inspire you?

你是說周圍都是能激勵你的人？

Exactly.

沒錯。

Think about it.

想想看

If you're around people who encourage you, you're more likely to keep going even when things get tough.

如果你身邊有人鼓勵你，即使遇到困難，你也更有可能堅持下去。

So it's like having a cheering squad for your goals.

是以，這就像是為你的目標組建了一支啦啦隊。

Yes, and it's also important to be that kind of person for others.

是的，為他人做這樣的人也很重要。

Like a positivity ripple effect.

就像積極的漣漪效應。

That's right.

這就對了。

The more positive energy you put out, the more you'll get back.

你付出的正能量越多，得到的回報也就越多。

And what about those practical steps we mentioned earlier?

那我們之前提到的那些實際步驟呢？

Let's expand on that.

讓我們繼續討論這個問題。

Sure.

當然。

Here's a simple example.

這裡有一個簡單的例子。

If you're learning a language, set a goal to learn five new words a day.

如果你正在學習一門語言，那就設定一個目標，每天學習五個新單詞。

It's small but adds up over time.

雖然數額不大，但日積月累。

That's manageable.

這是可以應付的。

What else?

還有什麼？

Another idea is to track your progress.

另一個想法是跟蹤自己的進步。

Write down what you learn each day.

寫下你每天學到的東西。

It helps you see how far you've come.

它能幫助你瞭解自己已經走了多遠。

Oh, so it's like giving yourself a high five in writing.

哦，所以這就像是在寫作中給自己擊掌。

Yes.

是的。

These small steps can make a big difference over time.

隨著時間的推移，這些小步驟會帶來很大的變化。

Listeners, what small steps have helped you grow?

聽眾朋友們，哪些小步驟幫助了你的成長？
