When I started learning Chinese， I was horrified to hear that it would take me 10 years to become fluent. 27 years later I'm still working at it. Due to my work on television， some Chinese language learners may consider me a role model of sorts， but every day I'm reminded of what I don't know and how much more there is to learn.

當(dāng)我開始學(xué)習(xí)中文，當(dāng)我聽說我要花上10年時(shí)間才能講的流利的時(shí)候，我嚇到了。27年之后我還在學(xué)習(xí)。由于我在電視劇上做功課，一些中文學(xué)習(xí)者可能認(rèn)為我是一個(gè)楷模，但其實(shí)我每天都在想一些我還沒學(xué)會(huì)的以及今后還有多少需要學(xué)習(xí)。

Who cares how long it takes？ Just do it！ If you really want to learn Chinese， you will devote yourself to it however long it takes.

誰會(huì)在乎需要花費(fèi)多少時(shí)間？喜歡就去做。如果你真心想要學(xué)習(xí)中文，你就要全身心投入不去管到底需要多少時(shí)間。

Gaining fluency in Chinese is a difficult practice. All manner of things affect how long it will take， from time and dedication， classes you take， and finding a good teacher. Fluency has a different definition in most peoples minds， for the sake of this answer， I am going to consider fluency the ability to read and understand a newspaper， as well as engage in complex unscripted* conversation.

學(xué)會(huì)流利中文是一項(xiàng)艱難練習(xí)。所有的東西都將決定所花費(fèi)的時(shí)間，時(shí)間、投入、上過的課、以及找到一位好的老師。不同的人對(duì)流利都有不同的見解，因此，我所認(rèn)為的流利就是能流利閱讀并理解一份報(bào)紙，同時(shí)能夠投入到復(fù)雜的無稿交談中。
