讀原版英語，你提升的是什麼英語能力？Car crash Part 1
你提升的是閱讀英語時把英語作為唯一的“學習語言”、“閱讀語言”、“理解語言”和“使用語言”的能力，必須“杜絕”的是把英語“讀成”中文的所謂“讀原版英語”。
也就是你讀到一句英語，一個單詞時，你閱讀的“輸出”語言是什麼？必須是英語，必須是讀英語，說英語。
它是我們閱讀原版英語時必須練成的英語語言能力，也是讀原版英語的唯一目的。
以下這篇很好的“原版英語”，要求你回答的問題是：面對一篇“原版英語”，你是習慣性的把它“讀”成中文，還是刻意性的把它“讀”成英文？
1) 讀原版英語 Part One
'They're All Gone:' Car Crash Kills New Jersey Father and 4 Daughters, Leaving Mother Behind
A New Jersey mother was the only member of her family to survive a multi-car crash that occurred in Delaware on Friday and took the lives of her husband and four daughters.
Mary Rose Trinidad, her husband Audie Trinidad, 61 and their daughters — Kaitlyn, 20, Danna, 17, and 13-year-old twins Allison and Melissa —were driving on a Delaware highway in their minivan when a pickup truck going the opposite direction crossed over the median and slammed into their vehicle, ABC News 7 reported.
2) “輸出”英語：Put English into English
1. Well, They're All Gone means They are all dead,they all died,they all passed away
如果你只會把此處的They are all gone“讀”成中文意思，不能讀成英語die,be dead,pass away等英語，說明你還不具備閱讀原版英語必需的“英語能力”，還不適合讀原版英語。
2. Well, A Car Crash is a traffic accident.
A car hits another car, or runs into another car or slams into anotherr car(見下文)and people may be killed, or die,or injured.
3. Kills New Jersey Father and 4 Daughters, Leaving Mother Behind
Well,if a car crash leaves someone behind,that means he is not killed,he survives the crash. 見下句：A New Jersey mother was the only member of her family to survive a multi-car crash
如果你只會把此處的leave someone behind“讀”成中文，不能讀成英語survive,not killed,not die，說明你還不具備閱讀原版英語必需的“英語能力”，還不適合讀原版英語。
4. A New Jersey mother was the only member of her family to survive a multi-car crash that occurred in Delaware on Friday and took the lives of her husband and four daughters.
4a. Well,if you survive a car crash ,or an accident, that means you are killed, you are still alive in the accident.
4b. When two or more cars crash into one another,or each other, that is a multi-car crash,also called a chain crash,or piled-up crash.
4c.that occured means that happened, that took place
4d.When we want to say someones dies, we may say：He dies, he is killed, he is gone,the accident takes his life.
5. and 13-year-old twins Allison and Melissa
Well,if you and your brother or sister were born at (almost) the same time, then you are called twins.
6.A minivan is a small bus that can sits around 6 to 7 people/passangers/riders —
7. crossed over the median：Well,a median is in the middle of the roads that divides,or seperates the expressway,or the road into two parts
閱讀英語或原版英語是一次“把學過的英語用起來”的過程，英語是你唯一的“理解語言”。
如果你只會把上面的原版英語統統“讀”成中文來理解，不能讀成英語我所讀的英語，說明你還不具備閱讀原版英語必需的“英語能力”，還不適合讀原版英語。
也說明你的英語應該努力的方向。
