Hello, welcome to 6 Minute English.I’m Neil.大家好,歡迎來到六分鐘英語。我是尼爾。And I’m Rob.我是羅伯。
Rob, when you were a child, did you have a pet? 羅伯,你小時候有寵物嗎?
Yes, we had a few pets.My favourite was a little fluffy hamster.有,我們有一些寵物。我最喜歡的是一只毛茸茸的小倉鼠。And what happened to your hamster? 你的小倉鼠后來怎么樣了?
Well, one day I got home from school and he wasn’t in his cage.I was worried for a bit in case he’d escaped or got hurt.But it was alright.My mum told me that he had gone to live on a farm.So that he could run around with other animals.好吧,有一天我放學回家,它并不在籠子里。我有點擔心,怕它萬一逃跑了或者受傷了。但是還好。媽媽告訴我它跑到農場里去了。那樣它可以和其它動物一起跑著玩。Really? 真的嗎? Yes, really.是的,是真的。
A hamster.Went to live on a farm.To be with other animals.Really? 一只倉鼠。跑到農場里生活。和其它動物在一起。真的嗎?Oh, well, when you put it like that… 額,好吧,你要是那么說得話……
I think that was probably one of those lies that parents tell their children so as not to make them sad.我覺得那或許是父母為了不讓孩子傷心所說的一種謊言。Well, I’m sad now.好吧,我現在很難過。
Well, maybe having a go at this quiz will cheer you up.According to a study by a US psychologist, what percentage of people will lie in a typical ten minute conversation? Is it: a)40% b)50% or c)60%? 好吧,或許試試回答一下這個問題會讓你高興起來。根據美國一位心理學家的研究,有百分之多少的人會在一個十分鐘的正常會話中說謊?是a)40% b)50% 還是 c)60%? I think most people don’t lie that much, so I’ll say 40%.我覺得大多數人沒那么愛說謊,所以我說有40%。OK, well.We’ll reveal the answer a little later in the programme.好的。稍后我們將在節目中揭曉答案。
So today we are talking about lies and particularly the lies that parents tell children.所以今天我們談論是謊言,特別是父母對孩子說的謊言。The topic was discussed on the BBC Radio 4 programme, Woman’s Hour.BBC廣播4頻道的“女性時間”對這個話題進行了討論。A guest on that programme was Doctor Chris Boyle, a psychologist at Exeter University.He talks about a particular kind of lie.We tell these lies not because we want to hurt people.What colour are these lies called? 節目嘉賓之一是克里斯·博伊爾博士,他是埃克斯特大學的心理學家。他談到了一種特殊的謊言。我們說那些謊言不是為了傷害別人。這些謊言被稱作什么顏色的謊言呢? A white lie is just a distortion of the truth without malicious intent.So as long as there’s not malicious intent I think it’s something that we do.It’s almost a societal norm that has become where it is acceptable that we do tell certain lies at certain times.善意的謊言只是對事實的曲解,但并無惡意。所以只要沒有惡意,我覺得我們可以那樣做。它幾乎就是一種被大家接受的社會準則,我們確實在某些時間說某些特定的謊言。
Dr Chris Boyle there.What colour is the kind of lie he was talking about? 那是克里斯·博伊爾博士的觀點。他所談到的謊言是什么顏色?
It’s a white lie.He says a white lie is just a distortion of the truth.‘Distortion’ here means a changing or bending of the truth.These kind of lies are OK as long as we don’t tell them because we want to hurt someone.它是白色的謊言。他說善意的謊言只是對事情的曲解。'Distortion'在這里指的是改變或者歪曲事實。這些謊言是可以的,只要我們不是為了傷害別人而說謊。He used the phraseto talk about a bad reason for doing something, didn’t he?
他用“惡意”這個詞組來說做某事的惡劣原因,不是嗎? Yes, ‘intent’ is the reason or purpose for doing something.And ‘malicious’ is an adjective, which means cruel or nasty.So without malicious intent means without wanting to hurt or be cruel to someone.是的,“意圖”是指做某事的原因或者目的。而'malicious'是一個形容詞,指的是殘忍的或者險惡的。所以沒有惡意指的是沒想傷害或者殘忍對待某人。
He said that this kind of white lie was almost a societal norm.Can you explain what he means by that? 他說那種善意的謊言幾乎是一種社會準則。你能解釋一下他那么說是什么意思嗎?
Yes, something that is the norm is something that is expected, it’s regular and usual.The adjective ‘societal’ comes from the noun ‘society’.So a societal norm is something that is regular and common in your culture or society.可以。準則就是符合人們要求的東西,是普通尋常的。形容詞 'societal'是由名詞'society'衍變而來的。所以社會準則是在你所處的文化環境或者社會中普通尋常的東西。So do you think your mum’s story about the hamster and the farm was a little white lie? 所以你認為你媽媽關于倉鼠和農場的故事是一個善意的小謊言嗎?Yes, I’m sure it was.She didn’t do it with malicious intent.She didn’t want to hurt me.In fact, just the opposite, she wanted to protect me.是的,我確定它是善意的謊言。她不是懷著惡意做這件事。她不想傷害我。事實上正相反,她想要保護我。Yes, that’s one kind of white lie that parents tell, to protect children.There are also a couple of other reasons.One being the parent’s convenience.是的,那是父母為了保護孩子所說的一種善意的謊言。還有許多其它的理由。一個就是父母為了方便自己。
Yes, I remember my mum telling me on certain days, the park wasn’t open.I know now that it never closed.I guess at the time she was just too busy to take me.是的,我記得我媽媽告訴我在特定的日子公園不會開放。現在我知道公園從來不會關閉。我猜那時候她只是太忙以至于沒時間帶我去。
And then there are the cultural lies that parents tell children.然后父母對孩子說的謊還有與文化相關的。Alright.What do you mean by that? 好吧。你那么說是什么意思?
Well, first, if you have any children listening to this right now, you might want to cover their ears for a few seconds.Rob, I’m talking about, for example, Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy.好吧,首先如果你的孩子現在正在收聽的話,你或許想要捂住他們的耳朵幾秒鐘。羅伯我現在說的是像圣誕老人和牙仙子。
Alright.Yes, there’s no malicious intent in telling children those stories.It is a cultural and societal norm.好吧。是的,告訴孩子那些故事沒有惡意。它是一種文化和社會準則。
Let’s listen to Dr Chris Boyle again talking about white lies.讓我們再聽一遍克里斯·博伊爾博士對善意的謊言的談論。A white lie is just a distortion of the truth without malicious intent.So as long as there’s not malicious intent I think it’s something that we do.It’s almost a societal norm that has become where it is acceptable that we do tell certain lies at certain times.善意的謊言只是對事實的曲解,但并無惡意。所以只要沒有惡意,我覺得我們可以那樣做。它幾乎就是一種被大家接受的社會準則,我們確實在某些時間說某些特定的謊言。So now back to our question at the top of the programme.I asked what percentage of people will lie in a typical ten minute conversation.Was it: a)40% b)50% or c)60% ? What did you say Rob? 所以現在讓我們回到節目開始時的問題。我問在一個十分鐘的正常對話中,有百分之多少的人會說謊?是a)40% b)50% 還是 c)60%?你當時說是多少,羅伯? I said a)just 40%.我說是a)只有40%。
Well, I’m afraid the answer was 60%.好吧,恐怕答案是60%。
Really? Goodness, 60%!That’s more than I expected.真的。天哪,60%。那比我預料的要多。
Right, well before we go, let’s recap the vocabulary we talked about today.The first expression was ’white lie’-a lie we tell without meaning to hurt someone.For example when I say to you: you look nice today!是的。在結束之前,讓我們回顧一下今天所談到的單詞。第一個表達是“善意的謊言”——一個不是為了傷害別人而說的謊言。例如我和你說:你今天看起來真不錯!Wait, what did you say? 等等,你剛說什么?
But that is actually a distortion of the truth.A changing or bending of the truth.但那實際上是對事實的曲解。對事實的改變或者歪曲。Mmmm.This makes me think of the next expression, ’malicious intent’.Intent is the reason or purpose for doing something.And doing something with a malicious intent is doing it deliberately to be cruel or to hurt someone.And I think you have a malicious intent, telling me that when you say I look nice, it’s just a lie!
額。那讓我想到了下一個表達,“惡意”。意圖是做某事的原因或者目的。而且惡意做某事是指故意殘忍對待或傷害某人。我覺得你有惡意,當你跟我說我看起來不錯的時候,那只是一個謊言。I’m just kidding!我只是開玩笑!
That’s the norm for you, isn’t it? Just kidding.A ’norm’ is the standard or ‘normal’ way that something is.In the clip we heard ’societal norm’, which is the accepted or ‘normal’ way something is done in society.那是你的準則,不是嗎?只是開玩笑。'norm'是指某事的標準或準則。在剛才的片段中,我們聽到了“社會準則”,是某事在社會中能被人們接受的,或者正常的完成方式。For example, telling children about Father Christmas.例如,告訴孩子們關于圣誕老人的信息。Sssh!噓。

第二篇:英語作文善意的謊言
Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic.Some people maintain that doctors should tell white lies to their patients when asked about their diseases.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.With more attention attached to humanism, doctors are required of humanistic care as well as eminent medical skills.In this case, some people assert that white lies are inevitable for doctors when patients consult them for diseases.In my opinion, however, honesty is the basic moral bottom line for doctors and communication skills rather than white lies manifest humanism and love.Some people think white lies attend to patients’ anxiety, depression and sensitivity about their diseases, but this argument does not hold water.No one goes to hospital if he or she feels vigorous and happy.That is to say, patients possess their own thoughts and mental participation before, so usually they turn to doctors just for confirmed diagnoses.Thus, people may underestimate their diseases if given white lies.Prescription they do not follow;medicine they do not take.Ultimately, they blame doctors for their white lies.What’s more, it is essential that medical staff guarantee transparent disclosure to patients, or they may feel offended after busting white lies.Skilled communication outweighs white lies.Fatigued, anxious and perplexed about their diseases, patients see their doctors with awe while doctors quickly get impatient.It occurs to me that Lewis Thomas feels regretful in his biography that doctors themselves do not suffer from severe diseases.That is not a curse, but requirement that doctors bridge the gap between staff and patients with sincerity, sympathy and patience.To achieve this, cordial and soft-voiced words make sense.It’s of significance that doctors encourage patients to conquer their phobia and to receive treatments actively instead of concealing condition from them.In conclusion, plausibility though white lies have, doctors should resort to sincere communication rather than white lies to placate patients.
第三篇:六分鐘小學英語說課稿
我說課的內容是小學五年級下冊unit5 part A部分,本課時主要是詞匯教學/交際對話教學/閱讀教學。關于本次說課內容我將主要通過教材內容分析、教學目標與重難點、教學方法與課堂流程。
一、關于教材內容的分析。
詞匯教學主要學習的詞匯是五個動詞的現在進行式,其中有兩個動詞的分詞形式變化涉及特殊規則,要雙寫詞尾字母。因為本單元是第一次出現現在進行時的學習內容,需要學生在初步了解知識點的情況下
對話教學主要針對“what is it doing?”展開,要求學生能夠看圖描述動物正在進行的動作,并結合生活實際描述出其他動物的動作。
閱讀教學主要針對what is somebody doing?的問答對話展開,要求學生在自主閱讀中了解文章含義,嘗試在原文基礎上找出課文中提出的問題。
二、教學目標
1、知識目標:能正確聽、說、讀、詞匯,重點了解進行式簡單的變換規則。學會“what is…doing?”句型的含義與問答,在此基礎之上,能利用已經學過的詞匯進行語言的創造。
2、能力目標:使學生能夠根據指令做動作,根據圖片和情境說出單詞和句子,最終嘗試在圖文或場景下進行簡單的英語交流和表演。(培養學生的對話交際能力閱讀能力)
3、價值觀目標:充分利用教材和教師的多媒體教學所提供的學習資源,實現自由參與和創新,能主動與他人交流,并克服交流中的困難,使交際順利進行。
三、教學重難點
1、動詞現在分詞的變換規則,其中由于有兩個動詞屬于重讀閉音節,其分詞形式變化涉及特殊規則,要雙寫詞尾字母。需要學生在記憶單詞時重點注意,也是本課單詞教學中的難點。
2、對話中重點句型為“what is…doing?”“it’s…”問答的學習。對話中的難點句型為“what about…?”句型的理解與使用。
四、說教法
生本教育的理念是:一切為了學生、高度尊重學生、全面依靠學生。遵循這一理念,我采用如下教法:
1.任務型教學法:運用新課標的理念,讓學生通過思考、調查、討論、交流和合作等方式學習和使用英語完成學習任務。
2.情景教學法:多媒體輔助教學集圖像、聲音、文字于一體,利用多媒體或實物為學生創設情景,使教學內容更生動、形象,吸引學生的注意力,讓學生身臨其境地學習英語。
3.游戲教學法:通過唱歌、游戲及體態語言啟發誘導學生完成本課任務。
4、交際法:學習英語,目的在于用英語進行交際。遵循這一原則,盡量創造機會讓學生與學生,學生與老師之間進行對話,培養學生的語言交際能力。
在授課期間我主要采用的教學工具有:CAI、ppt、相關卡片
五、課堂程序
1、warm-up 熱身環節:課堂開始與學生進行英語問候,引導學生演唱英語歌曲,這一環節對于形成良好的英語學習氛有重要的作用。
2、利用多媒體播放ppt文件,讓學生首先復習之前run、swim、jump和相關動物的單詞,再通過圖畫引出現在分詞的學習導入。這主要是讓學生復習之前所學知識,為本單元學習的開展打下良好的知識與溝通基礎,同時實現溫故而知新。
3、詞匯教學是本節課重難點,我將采用多種方式針對學生教學,e.g.,.(詞匯教學主要方法有:T通過大小聲帶領學生讀單詞、將單詞拆分為字母編成歌謠教學、結合肢體語言教學、通過讓學生看老師發音的嘴型猜單詞等)。通過多種方式教授單詞,能夠讓學生在課堂中掌握正確的讀音與拼寫。
4、聽對話,看動畫。在初步的聽對話后,嘗試讓學生兩人一組了解對話內容,然后讓學生上講臺表演對話,將講臺盡量作為學生展示的空間。老師在學生的對話過程中進一步指出學生讀音的錯誤,同時對表現優秀的學生提出鼓勵與表揚。
5、在初步掌握新知后,我在這里會引入游戲環節,請同學上講臺表演動作,并說出其動作的英語單詞,其他的同學猜對應的動物。通過游戲環節活躍課堂氣氛,增加學生學習的積極性,也可以讓學生在游戲中進一步的鞏固所學知識。
(T says: what are you doing now? / S says : I am … / other S guess animals)
6、課堂效果考察:讓學生說出本節課所學單詞與句型。
7、課后作業布置: 讓學生在課后與同伴相互檢查單詞與句型的讀寫。學生課后的練習對于學生鞏固所學知識至關重要,并且加強學生對于英語課程的重視程度。
1、warm-up 熱身環節:課堂開始與學生進行英語問候,引導學生演唱英語歌曲,這一環節對于形成良好的英語學習氛有重要的作用。
2、利用多媒體播放ppt,ppt內容主要包括之前課堂中學過的詞匯與短語所對應的圖片,讓學生分別回答圖畫中的動作短語,引出。。短語,強調進行式的不同。
3、利用多媒體播放課文中的對話,引入本節課堂重點內容的學習,老師將寫有重點句型的卡片展示給學生看,帶領學生朗讀,讓學生能夠清晰的了解本節課重點需要學習與記憶的內容。
4、老師與學生對話交流,老師問學生問題,學生根據實際情況回答老師所提的問題,以增強老師與學生之間的交流,激勵學生開口說英語,使學生更有自信心與積極性。
5、讓學生主動提出對話中不懂的詞匯或者句型,可以請其他學生回答,難點“what about…”由老師進一步舉例講解。
6、小組情景表演。首先由老師通過多媒體播放情景,學生根據相應情景組織對話并進行表演。在初步表演成功后,鼓勵學生自己構造生活中常見場景進行對話部分的實施。通過該方式可以進一步了解學生之前的學習情況,老師可以了解學生是否已經靈活掌握對話用語,并將其運用于實際。
7、課后作業布置:課后兩人一組根據所學對話編寫一段生活中常見場景,并配合進行表演,在下次課堂上請同學表演。
1、warm-up 熱身環節:課堂開始與學生進行英語問候,引導學生演唱英語歌曲,這一環節對于形成良好的英語學習氛有重要的作用。
2、利用多媒體播放英語歌謠,學生通過聽歌曲了解主要句型,并回答老師的問題,可以增強學生在課堂上的互動與自信心。
3、聽對話,看動畫:給時間讓學生預習本節課主要內容,學生先學,嘗試小組組員間合作完成前置作業,增加學生自主學習的機會與欲望。
4、學生展示前置作業,通過多媒體展示臺展示學生小組作業,小組成員分別上講臺回答問題并講授答案,鼓勵學生自己在原文中找出聽力閱讀文本的答案,以培養學生的聽力與做題能力。鼓勵學生充當課堂小老師的角色,將課堂還給學生,充當學習的主人。
5、讓學生主動提出對話中不懂的詞匯或者句型,可以請其他學生回答,難點“what about…”由老師進一步舉例講解。
6、小組情景表演:小組上講臺根據閱讀內容開展情景表演,要求邊做動作邊說英語,以此讓更多的同學參與到課堂中來,鞏固之前所學內容。
7、通過True or Fault 檢查學生的課堂學習效果。
8、作業布置。課后分別調查家人晚飯后主要進行的活動,分別用英語展現出來。通過該作業可以使學生了解英語的實用性,同時可以讓學生與家人之間實現共同學習的良好氛圍。
