第三篇：英語名句

A Language Teacher's Personal Opinion 一名語言教師的個人看法

【1】Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English.我每天都會在報紙上、公共汽車上看到各種廣告，聲稱輕輕松松就能學好英語。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.這些廣告稱，學生不必費什么力氣，要說一口流利的英語只需短短3個月，甚至10天就行。

There is often a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage him even more.廣告還常常提到威廉.莎士比亞和查爾斯.狄更斯等英語文學大師的名號來增強吸引力。When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.每當看到諸如此類的廣告時，我真是哭笑不得

If it were as easy to learn English as they say, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed.如果學英語真像這些廣告所說的那么輕松，我恐怕得另謀出路了，因為不需要那么多合格的英語教師了。

But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.但是肯定有許多人相信這些可笑的噱頭，不然的話這些廣告也不可能出現。

【2】It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them as quickly and efficiently and 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.學生們喜歡實惠的速成學習方法也在情理之中，但要用淺顯易懂的語言去解釋為什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件簡單的事，而且也無需裝模作樣地聲稱有什么人已經找到了一個萬能的適合所有學習環境的教學方法。

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.一些專家甚至認為，有多少個好老師就有多少種好的教學方法，因為每一個老師都有其自身的特點。No doubt this is true to a certain extant,but it is not very helpful to students.這種說法無疑是有幾分道理的，但對學生來說不是很有幫助。

【3】For a long time people believe that the only way to learn a language was to spend a great deals of time in a country where it was spoken.有很長一段時間，人們認為要學好一門語言，只有去使用那種語言的國家呆上一段時間。

Of course it is clear that students who go to England, America, or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others, but a large number of students cannot afford to do so.當然去英國、美國或者澳大利亞等國家學英語的學生肯定比那些不能去的學生有很大優勢，但是很多學生支付不起那筆費用。

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.有些學生走向另一極端：他們認為可以借助詞典在家自學。如果你認為英語中的每一個詞在另一語言中都有完全對等的詞，或者反之亦然，那就錯了。通過翻譯法來給學生講解口語的自然形式是不可能的，更不要說做到語音、語調地道了。

【4】 A great deal of teaching is still based on behaviourist psychology.現在大量的教學活動還是建立在行為主義心理學的基礎之上。

Behaviourists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making them do exercises where they continually have to change one word in a sentence.行為主義者熱衷于讓學生復述短語，不斷做一些只需更換句中某個詞的練習。

If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful.假如我們是鸚鵡或黑猩猩，那這些方法或許能奏效。

A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.可惜我們不是鸚鵡或者猩猩，這似乎讓很多理論家引以為憾，否則他們提出的那些方法用起來就會容易多了。

【5】 In my opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it.我個人認為，假如沒有興趣，任何人都不可能學好英語或其他任何語言。Human beings, unlike parrots or chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noise mean and can relate them to their lives.與鸚鵡或黑猩猩不同，人類不會無緣無故地發出噪音，除非他們明白這些聲音是什么意思，并且能將其與自己的生活聯系起來。

It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication.值得牢記的是：語言是一種交際手段。

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.人們在母語中怎么說怎么寫，用另一種語言表達時也大同小異。人們所聽所讀的不應該是程式化的東西。What they listen to and read cannot be a formula.It must be real.聽的讀的材料必須真實自然。

【6】 There is another relevant point worth mentioning here.還有一個相關的問題值得一提：

We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate.在交際時我們需要有交談或傾聽的對象。

If what we are learning is strange to us, it will be helpful if there are other students around us who can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life in real language.在學習較生疏的內容時，如果有其他學生和我們一起學習來練習那些陌生的語言形式，并用真實的語言去談論真實的生活，那一定會受益匪淺。
