【用英文看世界】学习外语，动画片也可以？

随着跨国公司业务越来越多，各国对于国际化人才的需求也逐渐增多。如今，学好一门外语已经不是一技之长，而是学习工作中的必备技能。但很多同学苦恼只能通过背单词或是题海战术来学习外语，实在是枯燥无聊。殊不知平时我们不太关注的动画片其实也能帮助学习外语，因为动画片的内容更接近生活，内容上通俗易懂且实用。今天，小编就为大家推荐几部经典动画片来助力外语学习。

卡通片的剧情线一般都很简单，故事场景也都是熟悉的日常生活场景，无外乎是学校和家里，也就是说我们可以通过看动画片来熟悉日常短语的表达。动画角色的语速比较慢，对话也都是典型的标准非正式语言，不会涉及到艰涩的方言。

《辛普森一家》是上世纪90年代一部很优秀且文化含义丰富的娱乐性电视卡通，它讲述的是一个普通美国家庭的故事。在该动画的鼎盛时期，没有哪一部动画片能企及《辛普森一家》的伟大成就，想当初小编上学时也没少看这部片子。从《玛姬与单轨火车》的巧妙设计，到卡通角色丽萨·辛普森所说的所有台词，90年代的《辛普森一家》所向披靡，改变了电视行业的面貌。也让更多中国观众接触到美国动画片，了解美国文化和生活。

 

《乡巴佬希尔一家的幸福生活》它记录了希尔在德克萨斯小镇阿伦的日常生活，探讨了诸多现代主题，如亲子关系、友谊、忠诚和正义。然而，作为一部动画情景喜剧，《乡巴佬希尔一家的幸福生活》的视野比普通情景喜剧要更大。虽然里面有一些所谓“少儿不宜”的内容，但它对于小镇生活的刻画十分准确，内容暖心又有爱，值得青少年和父母坐在家里一起看完。

说道日本动画片只能想起《蜡笔小新》？也许那是在国内最知名的一部，但小编要介绍的这部却是最适合学习日语的。类似于《樱桃小丸子》的内容，但在日本的反响却更大——《海螺小姐》。它不仅仅是一部儿童动画，更是一种文化，一种国家财富，同时也是世界上播放时间最长的动画连续剧。

 

该动画讲述的是住在东京的一个大家族的故事。动画的主角是サザエ (Sazae)，一个20岁出头、大大咧咧的女性，她和自己的丈夫、儿子、父母、还有兄弟姐妹住在同一个屋檐下。这部卡通的所有角色都很立体，也很有趣，而且所有人物角色的名字都和鱼类有关。《海螺小姐》起初是连载漫画，后来才被制作成动画而广为人知。在日本，每个周日的下午六点半，很多家庭都会围坐在一起看这部动画。

【原文】

The basic plot lines of kid’s cartoons are fairly simple and take place in familiar, everyday settings, such as schools and homes. That means you’ll become familiar with all the everyday phrases. The characters speak more slowly, and the dialogue is typically standard, casual language, without the idiomatic phrases or regional dialects that can make it hard to understand.

The Simpsons in the '90s was smart, culturally savvy, and unbelievably entertaining TV about an average American family. At its height, no show — animated or otherwise — could reachThe Simpsons' greatness. From the cleverness of "Marge vs. the Monorail" to everything Lisa Simpson ever said, '90s eraThe Simpsons was fearless and game-changing television.

King of the Hill depicts an average middle-class family and their lives in a typical American town. It documents the Hills' day-to-day-lives in the small Texas town of Arlen, exploring modern themes such as parent-child relationships, friendship, loyalty, and justice. As an animated sitcom, however, King of the Hill's scope is generally larger than that of a regular sitcom.

You most likely had to have parental supervision to watch King of the Hill, but the show's depiction of small town life was so accurate and warm, it was worth sitting through the "adult" moments with mom and dad in the room.

Sazae-san is more than a kids’ show. It’s a cultural institution, a national treasure and the longest-running animated series in the world, ever!

It’s about a typical Japanese 大家族 (だいかぞく – big family) living together in Tokyo. The central character is サザエ, an outspoken but somewhat clumsy woman in her early 20s, living with her husband, son, father, mother, brother and sister all under one roof.

All of the characters are colorful and funny, and all are named after fish! (サザエ is horned turban, a seafood delicacy.) サザエさん started off as a comic strip, but is now better-known as a cartoon. It is not unusual for families to plan their Sundays around its 6:30 p.m. time slot.
