大学英语精读一课文加翻译(转自baidu知道)Some Strategies for Learning EnglishLearning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort.学习英语绝非易事.它需要刻苦和长期努力.Nevertheless, while you cannot export to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些.一下便是其中的几种.1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according it how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词.你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力.如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来.你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们.积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的次只需要见到时认识即可.你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径.2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, “I am interested in English”, but “I am good at French”? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, “learn the news or secret”, but “learn of someone’s success or arrival”? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives.密切注意地道的表达方式.你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”, 而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”? 你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”, 而“获悉某人的成功或到来”是“learn of someone’s successor arrival”?这些都是惯用法的例子.再学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它.3. Listen to English every day. Listening to English on a regular basis will not only improve your ear, but will also help you build your speaking skills. In addition to language tapes especially prepared for your course, you can also listen to English radio broadcasts, watch English TV, and see English movies. The first time you listen to a taped conversation or passage in English, you may not be able to catch a great deal. Try to get its general meaning first and listen to it over and over again. You will find that with each repetition you will get something more.每天听英语.经常听英语不仅不提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能.除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影.第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多.先试着听懂大意,然后再反复地听.你会发现每次重复都会听懂很多更多的东西.4. Seize opportunities to speak. It is true that there are few situations at school where you have to communicate in English, but you can seek out opportunities to practice speaking the language. Talking with your classmates, for example, can be an easy and enjoyable way to get some practice. Also try to find native speaker on your campus and feel free to talk with them. Perhaps the easiest way to practice speaking is to rehearse aloud, since this can be done at any time, in any place, and without a partner. For instance, you can look at pictures or objects around you and try to describe them in detail. You can also rehearse everyday situations. After you have made a purchase in a shop or finished a meal in a restaurant and paid the check, pretend that all this happened in an English-speaking country and try to act it out in English.抓住机会说.的确,在学校里必须用英语交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习的英语的机会.例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式.还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈.或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读,因为这在任何时间,任何地方,不需要搭档就可以做到.例如,你可以看着图片或身边的物件,试着对它们详加描述.你还可以复述日常情景.在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后,假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家,试着用英语把它表演出来.5. Read widely. It is important to read widely because is our learning environment; reading is the main and most reliable source of language input. When you choose reading materials, look for things that you find interesting, that you can understand without relying too much on a dictionary. A page a day is a good way to start. As you go on, you will find that you can do more pages a day and handle materials at a higher lever of difficulty.广泛阅读.广泛阅读很重要,因为在我们的学习环境中,阅读是最重要,最可靠的语言输入来源.在选择阅读材料时,要找你认为有趣的,不需要过多依赖词典就能看懂的东西.开始时每天读一页是个好办法.接下去,你就会发现你每天可以读更多页,而且能对付难度更高的材料.6. Write regularly. Writing is a good way to practice what you already know. Apart from compositions assigned by your teacher, you may find your own reasons for writing. A pen pal provides good motivation; you will learn a lot by trying to communicate with someone who shares your interests, but comes from a different culture. Other ways to write regularly include keeping a diary, writing a short story and summarizing the daily news.经常写,写作是练习你已经学会的东西的好方法.除了老师布置的作文,你还可以找到自己要写的理由.有个笔友可以提供很好的动力;与某个跟你趣味相投但来自不同文化的人进行交流,你会学到很多东西.经常写作的其他方式还有记日记,写小故事或概述每天的新闻.Language learning is a process of accumulation. It pays to absorb as much as you can from reading and listening and then try to put what you have learned into practice through speaking and writing.语言学习是一个积累的过程.从读和听中吸收尽量多的东西,然后再试着把学到的东西通过说和写 .。

第一单元如何成为一个成功的语言学习者TEXT AHow can you learn a foreign language well? According to the author of this te xt, you might need to think in a new way, a process almost like going back to chil dhood again…如何学好一门外语?根据这篇文章的作者,你也许需要用一种新的方式去思考,这一过程几乎像是再次回到童年。

Learning to Think All Over Again学会重新思考When you were a child, you didn’t know what a tree was at first. Somebody had to t ell you. Probably your parents took you outside, pointed to a tree and said, ”Tree!” Yo u had to learn to associate the sound of the word “Tree” with the big green leafy thing yo u saw in front of you.当你还是个孩子的时候,起初你并不知道树是什么,得有人告诉你。

也许你的父母带你到外面,指着一棵树说,“树!”你得学会将“树”这个词的音跟你眼前那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西联系起来。

That’s what you must learn to do again when you are learning a foreign language. Y ou need to learn to associate sounds with objects, and to think in a new way. Only this ti me, since you are grown up, you will be able to understand what needs to be done muc h faster. You’ll know why somebody is pointing to a tree and saying a strange word. Yo u may even have to relearn it many times before you finally actually learn it.这是你在学习外语是必须再次学会做的事。

你得学会将声音和事物联系起来,用一种新的方式思考。

只是这一次,因为你已经长大,所以能够更快地去理解需要做的事。

你会知道为什么有人指着一棵树,说着奇怪的单词。

但是你仍然得学习那个新单词。

说不定还得重复学习多遍才能最终真正的掌握它。

There is an important idea here. In America our name for that big green leafy thing i s ”tree”, but in Germany the name for that thing is “Baum”. In Arab countries the name i s “shajra”. And in China they say ”shu”. These various words are not themselves “tree s”. They are just some of the many hundreds of different sounds used in the world to rep resent that great big green leafy thing.这里有一个重要的概念。

在美国我们称那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西为tree,但是在德国那东西叫Baum。

在阿拉伯国家,它的名字是shajra。

在中国,我们称它为shu。

这些各式各样的词本身并不是树。

它们只是世界各地用来代表那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西的几百种声音中的几个。

To learn a foreign language you must get away from the idea of translating words. Tr anslating takes too much time and mental energy. You will never learn to really speak an d understand a foreign language if you have to translate in your mind. Instead, learn to associate the new sound directly with the image in your mind. So when we hear thesound ”Baum” or ”shajra” or ”shu”, we don’t want to think, ”Hmmmm. Baum means t ree, which means that great big green leafy thing.”要学习外语,你必须摆脱逐词翻译的想法。

翻译会消耗太多的时间和脑力。

如果你字字都得翻译,那你永远也学不会真正地说和理解一门外语。

相反,你得学会将新的声音和头脑中的形象直接联系起来。

这样当我们听见Baum,shajra,或shu等音时,就不会去想“嗯,Baum的意思是树,树指的是哪个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西。

”Don’t think that the challenge of new thinking will be limited only to the area of new w ords it is going to go much deeper than that. Let’s use an analogy: you can build a hous e using materials of very different sizes and shapes. English uses one set of building blo cks, but other languages will use different-shaped building blocks that take some creativit y to put together at first . Where we use two blocks, they may use three smaller ones—o r maybe one large one.别以为学习用新的方式思考的挑战仅限于新词:它涵盖的范围要广得多。

让我们打一个比方,你能用不同大小和形状的材料造一栋房子。

英语使用一套构成要素,但其他语言可能使用不同的构成要素,起初还得用一些创造力才能将它们拼起来。

我们使用两个构成要素,而别人也许使用三个较小的——也可能是一个大的。

Here an example of an English sentence: We have to buy a few books before going home. When translating into almost any foreign language, you will not take each English word and substitute a foreign word for it .You will instead be substituting groups of word s or ideas from one language to the other. How each language will choose to group the i deas depends on the language. In French or Spanish, for example, we have to buy is br oken down into three words: we/have to /buy .In Turkish, however, the Turks are to redu ce all these four words to only one.以一个英语句子为例:We have to buy a few books before going home.不论将它翻译成哪种外语,你都不会取出每个单词然后逐个地用外语单词去替代。

相反你会用成组的词语或者思想从一种语言替代成另外一种语言。

至于每种语言如何选择词来表达某个概念,各种语言不尽相同。

比如,在法语和西班牙语中,we have to buy被分成三个词:we /ha ve to /buy.而在土耳其语中,土耳其人能将所有这四个词缩减成一个。

So learn to start thinking in terms of bundles of concepts or ideas that will be convert ed to new language and not single words. Try to think in a foreign language. This isn’t al l that hard. You learn to think in the language simply by using the language over and ove r again, asking and answering simple questions until you feel comfortable with the practi ce. Then you add some new words, and a few more new situations, and practice u sing them together with all the words you learned in previous lessons. Bit by bit you buil d up skill.所以学者开始以成组的词的概念或思想去思考,这些概念或思想能转换成新的语言而非单个词语。

尝试用外语去思考。

这并不那么难。

要学会用哪种语言去思考,你只需一遍又一遍地使用它,问并回答简单的问题,直到你对这一过程感到得心应手为止。
