高校英语课文翻译答案 〔新世纪综合教程 1〕BOOK 1Unit 1T A Language Teacher's Personal OpinionWill Pidcroft This text is taken from Incentive Themes by W. S. Fowler, J. Pidcook & L. R. Rycroft. Nelson. Australia. 1980.close1RT Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English. According to these advertisements, with very little effort on the student's part, he will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days. There is often a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage him even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If it were as easy to learn English asthey say, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed. But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.一名语言老师的个人看法威尔·皮德克罗夫特我每天都会在报纸上， 公共汽车上看到各种广告, 声称轻轻松松就能学好英语. 这些广告号称,同学不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短 3 个月,甚至 10 天就行.广告仍常常提到威廉· 莎士比亚和查尔斯· 狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号来增强吸引力. 每当看到诸如此类的广告时, 我真是哭笑不得： 假如学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松, 我生怕得另谋出路了, 由于不需要那么多合格的英语老师了. 但是确定有很多人信任这些可笑的噱头, 不然的话这些广告也不行能显现.It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them as quickly and efficientlyand cheaply as possible. But it is difficult for anyone to explain in simple language why one method is better than another, and it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation. Some experts even argue that there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers, because every teacher is an individual with his own personality. No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.同学们宠爱实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中, 但要用浅显易懂的语言去说明为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简洁的事, 而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了 一个万能的适合全部学习环境的教学方法. 一些专家甚至认为, 有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法, 由于每一个老师都有其自身的特点. 这种说法无疑是有几分道理的, 但对同学来说不是很有帮忙.For a long time people believed that the only way to learn a language was to spend a great deal of time in a country where it was spoken. Of course it is clear that students who go to England,可编辑资料 -- -- -- 欢迎下载America, or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others, but a large number of students cannot afford to do so. Some students go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language and vice versa, and it is impossible for any translation method to provide students with the natural forms of a language in speech, let alone produce good pronunciation and intonation.有很长一段时间, 人们认为要学好一门语言, 只有去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间. 当然去英国，美国，或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的同学确定比那些不能去的同学具有很大优势,但是很多同学支付不起那笔费用. 有些同学走向另一极端： 他们认为可以借助词典在家自学.假如你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词（或反之亦然） ,那就错了.通过翻译法来给同学讲解口语的自然形式是不行能的,更不要说做到语音，语调地道了.close4RT A great deal of teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making them do exercises where they continually have tochange one word in a sentence. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would makeit easier to use their methods.现在大量的教学活动仍是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上. 行为主义者热衷于让同学复述短语, 不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习. 假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩, 那这些方法或许能奏效, 惋惜我们不是, 这好像让很多理论家引以为憾, 否就他们提出的那些方法用起来就 会简洁得多了. close5RT In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or anyother language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What people want to say and write in another language is probably very similar to what they want to say and write in their own. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.我个人认为, 假如没有爱好, 任何人都不行能学好英语或其他任何语言. 与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音, 除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思, 并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来.值得牢记的是：语言是一种交际手段, 人们在母语中怎么说怎么写, 用另一种语言表达时也大同小异. 因此, 人们所听所读的不应当是程式化的东西, 听的读的材料必需真实自然. close6RT There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need otherpeople to talk to and listen to when we communicate. If what we are learning is strange to us, itwill be helpful if there are other students around us who can work with us and practise the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life in real language.仍有一个相关的问题值得一提： 在交际时我们需要有交谈或倾听的对象. 在学习较生疏的内容时,假如有其他同学和我们在实战中一起学习和练习那些生疏的语言形式, 用真实的语言去谈论真实的生活,那确定会受益匪浅.2Learning to Read可编辑资料 -- -- -- 欢迎下载John Holt This text is adapted from The Norton Reader 〔11th Edition〕 by W.
