最適合學外語的7部動畫片 你看過幾個？
英語變成和Word一樣普遍的必備技能時，學一門二外就被許多人提上了日程。
法語多浪漫啊，學好日語還可以去漫畫聖地打卡。西語的機關槍語速、德語與英語的“親戚關係”、意大利語難發的大舌音，每一個都讓人好奇。
但考慮到英語學了十來年也談不上精通，再加一門二外，豈不是撿芝麻丟西瓜？
別擔心。都說小孩子是學語言最快最輕鬆的。他們常看的兒童節目也是重要的語言輸入來源之一。
像小朋友一樣學習一門語言
Kids’ cartoons—even the silliest or action-oriented ones—are meant to be educational to some degree. Because they’re aimed at children, they introduce and reinforce important cultural aspects that adult dramas take for granted.
兒童卡通片，哪怕是有很多動作場面的蠢蠢的那種，也是有着教育意義的。正因爲卡通片瞄準的受衆是兒童，動畫片會介紹和強調重要的文化背景，這類知識在成人電視劇裡通常是一帶而過。
動畫片很容易跟上
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.
兒童卡通的劇情線一般都很簡單，故事場景也都是熟悉的日常生活場景，比方說學校和家裡。也就是說你可以通過看動畫片來熟悉日常短語的表達。動畫角色的語速比較慢，對話也都是典型的標準非正式語言，不會牽涉到艱澀的習語和方言。
動畫片本身就很有趣
Think Peppa Pig, the pink piggy who has gained worldwide popularity. There are even videos showing an American child speaking in a British accent to her mom after binge-watching the popular cartoon.
想想《小豬佩奇》，作爲兒童卡通居然火遍全球。網上甚至還有視頻顯示一個美國小孩兒跟她媽媽說話帶着英國口音，就是因爲看多了這部動畫。
剛開始學一門語言時，你發不準某個音的樣子不是跟小朋友很像嗎？來看看他們都看哪些節目吧↓↓↓

The Simpsons《辛普森一家》
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 reach The Simpsons' greatness. From the cleverness of "Marge vs. the Monorail" to everything Lisa Simpson ever said, '90s era The Simpsons was fearless and game-changing television.
《辛普森一家》是上世紀90年代一部很優秀且文化含義豐富的娛樂性電視卡通。它講述的是一個普通美國家庭的故事。在該動畫的鼎盛時期，沒有哪一部動畫片能企及《辛普森一家》的偉大成就。從《瑪姬與單軌火車》的巧妙設計，到卡通角色麗薩·辛普森所說的所有臺詞，90年代的《辛普森一家》所向披靡，改變了電視行業的面貌。

King of the Hill《鄉巴佬希爾一家的幸福生活》
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.
《鄉巴佬希爾一家的幸福生活》描繪了一個普通的中產階級家庭和他們在一個典型的美國小鎮上的生活。它記錄了希爾在德克薩斯小鎮阿倫的日常生活，探討了諸多現代主題，如親子關係、友誼、忠誠和正義。然而，作爲一部動畫情景喜劇，《鄉巴佬希爾一家的幸福生活》的視野比普通情景喜劇要更大。
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.
你最好是在父母的陪同之下觀看《鄉巴佬希爾一家的幸福生活》。這部動畫對於小鎮生活的刻畫十分準確，又溫暖人心。哪怕是裡面有一些所謂“少兒不宜”的內容，它也值得你和父母坐在家裡一起看完。

這部卡通的所有角色都很立體，也很有趣，而且所有角色的名字都和魚類有關（サザエ就是“海螺”）。《海螺小姐》起初是連載漫畫，後來才被製作成動畫而廣爲人知。每個週日的下午六點半很多家庭都會圍坐在一起看這部動畫。

El Oso Yogui《瑜伽熊》

瑜伽熊是一個搞笑的擬人化動物角色，它曾出現在許多漫畫書、動畫電視節目和電影中。該角色由漢娜·巴貝拉創作。
The plot of most of Yogi's cartoons centered on his antics in the fictional Jellystone Park, a variant of the real Yellowstone National Park. Yogi, accompanied by his constant companion Boo-Boo Bear, would often try to steal picnic baskets from campers in the park, much to the displeasure of Park Ranger Smith. Yogi's girlfriend, Cindy Bear, sometimes appeared and usually disapproved of Yogi's antics.
瑜珈熊動畫的大部分情節都集中於他在 “醬石公園”裡的滑稽行爲之上，“醬石公園”對應的是真實世界裡的黃石國家公園。瑜珈熊通常和他的同伴博博熊一起出現，他們經常試圖從公園露營者那裡偷野餐籃子，惹得公園管理員史密斯很不高興。瑜珈熊的女朋友—辛迪熊，有時也出現在劇集裡，通常很鄙夷瑜珈熊的滑稽行爲。
