“互联网”时代：英文“美颜”怎么说怎么学？

“互联网 ”时代：英文“美颜”怎么说怎么学？

这不是单纯的英语“学”的问题，还是英语“用”起来的、英语“学以致用”问题。

另外，你是跟着“老师”用中文学几个“美颜”的英语单词加几句带中文解释的例句“知道怎么说”，还是想在原版英语语言环境下“知道怎么说”？

看远一点，这还是个“主题原版英语”问题。借助英语“美颜”可以进入涉及“美颜”的英语语言环境中去。在语言环境中更多的体验别人都是怎样讨论“美颜”的。可以在yahoo里使用一定的英语key words找到“美颜”相关主题原版英语。

这才是正确的学习和使用英语“美颜”的思路。有英语的“学”，还有英语的“用”。

当然，这样的英语学习难度会增加，因为它涉及到一个“联动”的英语困难：我们的英语阅读整体能力就差，现在用阅读的方法学某个英语表达是“难上加难”，更别说在阅读中学习“使用英语”了，所以我们还是停留在一句英语一句中文解释的学习方法比较舒服。

1) 利用英文Yahoo“探索发现求证”功能把英语“美颜”表达及其主题原版英语找出来：

不会说英语“美颜”，how to beautify photo的英语多少都会“用”会“说”吧？这不是“美颜”的英语吗？

我们不确定，但可以用它们到Yahoo里“求证求证”。

你现在就试着输入这几个key words，看看找到什么？

这是我Yahoo出来的部分原版英语标题及其中一篇主题原版英语文章的节选：

I tried 5 photo apps to help you look more beautiful online. Are they better than plastic surgery?

I always thought it was unfair how so many people look gorgeous in all their photos on Facebook or Instagram — flawless skin, bright eyes and sparkling teeth — while my photos mostly featured a shiny face and ultimately a not-very-glamourous me. But now I think I know why.

Recently I found out there are now a ton of smartphone apps that can touch up your photos. Just for a day, I decided to test out five ‘beautifying’ apps — yeah, yeah, I know I’m the only girl on the TNW staff — to see if I could look as dazzling as these people do on Facebook.

So here goes my experiment to find out if the effects of these apps, some of which have taken Asia by storm, are better than plastic surgery.

1. Beauty Camera | Android

This app is only available for Android phones — and it is extremely basic. Choose either to select a photo from your gallery or take a selfie on the app itself. Once you take a photo the app will do its work automatically to smooth out your pores and remove blemishes. The only tweaking you can do is increase or decrease the amount of brightness, tone, smoothing and detail. That’s it.

通过这个方法，解决了开始时的“怎么说？”问题。现在转到学习的第二个环节，即另外一个英语能力的训练：

原版英语阅读(把英语读成英语的能力，Put English into English，把英语“用”起来)。
