第一篇：錢鐘書經典美文《窗》第一 二段（定稿）

窗 錢鐘書

又是春天，窗子可以常開了。春天從窗外進來，人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去。不過屋子外的春天太賤了！到處是陽光，不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮；到處是給太陽曬得懶洋洋的風，不像攪動屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣。就是鳥語，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來做襯托。我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子。

It’s spring again and windows can often opens, and the spring comes in through windows.People will go outside while they don’t want to stay inside.However, the spring outside is too cheap.Everywhere is sunshine, which doesn’t like the bright impales the dark room.Everywhere is the breeze, which doesn’t like the fresh wind stirs the depressing room.Even though the warble, which seems petty and thin, needs set off by the silence room.We realize, therefore, spring should inlay windows as well as a pianting mounted in a frame

同時，我們悟到；門和窗有不同的意義。當然，門是造了讓人出進的。但是，窗子有時也可作為進出口用，譬如小偷或小說里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子。所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒有人進來出去。若據賞春一事來看，我們不妨這樣說：有了門，我們可以出去；有了窗，我們可以不必出去。窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把風和太陽逗引進來，使屋子里也關著一部分春天，讓我們安坐了享受，無需再到外面去找。Meanwhile, we acknowledged, windows is differ from the door in the meaning.Of course, door is used for people in and out.While sometimes the window can also become the door, for instance, the thief or the couples tryst in novels are keen on coming across through the windows.Thus, it is not the essential difference between the windows and the door.Accoding to the appreciation of the spring, we might say, we go out because of the door, we don’t need to go out because of the windows.The diaphragm between nature and people are got through by the windows, which leads the wind and sun inside, makes part of spring fill in the room, which let us enjoy it and don’t need to go outside.

第二篇：《窗》(錢鐘書)教案

《窗》（錢鐘書）教案

------------------

［教學對象分析］

《窗》是（廣東版）普通高中課程標準實驗教科書（必修2）的第三單元的一篇議論散文，這類文章高一學生在初中時沒有接觸過，初中時學生只是對敘事散文和抒情散文有初步的了解，對議論散文的特點不是很了解，加上本文是錢鐘書先生所寫，語言雖不是很晦澀，但文中所蘊含的意義理解起來還是有一定的難度的，所以應給學生講清議論散文特點，幫助學生學會感受和鑒賞閱讀優秀作品，思考和領悟大自然中的普通事物所蘊涵的深刻哲理，陶冶性情，追求高尚情趣，提高道德修養。［教學內容分析］

本單元為散文單元，先要把的散文的概念要弄清，學習本文，要注重從景中悟理，在理中染景，仔細體會景理交融的藝術特點。

在本文中，錢鐘書先生由“春天”入筆，寫“春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的”，道出“窗”的作用，總領全文。接著在第二段對比了門和窗對于人的不同意義，自然引出“窗打通了大自然和人的隔膜” 這一中心論點。在第三段中進一步談“窗”之余人的意義是人對自然的精神上的勝利。最后總結全文，用 “窗可算是房屋的眼睛” 這一形象的比喻，道出窗對于屋內與屋外人的意義。最后一句“因為只是春天，還留著殘冷，窗子也不能鎮天鎮夜不關的” 完美地照應了開頭。全文語言深邃，引經據典，旁征博引，飽涵哲理，讀起來愈咀嚼愈覺得滿口余香，意味深長。［教學方法］

感受·鑒賞 ·思考·領悟 ［教學目標］

1.知識和能力目標：欣賞課文精彩的語言，引導學生體會課文的深刻的思想和哲理。學習于平凡中見深意的觀察方法和思想方法。

2.過程和方法目標：反復朗讀，提高誦讀水平，感受文章的優美語言。閱讀作品，品味語言，感受其思想、藝術魅力，發展想像力和審美力。

3.情感態度和價值觀目標： 學習議論散文應以自我的情感體驗、觀察理解為基礎，書寫個人的見解和感受的方法。學會從新的角度、用新的眼光去觀察事物、思考問題，從熟悉的事物和現象中去發現新穎的東西，體會出不一樣的情感，得出不一般的認識。［教學重點和難點］

1.理解作者在對比門和窗之于人的不同意義時所闡發的獨到見解。

2.比較閱讀。使學生體會對于同一事物，可以從不同的角度去看和感受，從而得出不同的認識。

3.掌握議論散文的特點，領悟鑒賞議論散文的方法。

［教學過程］

說明：因本文的重點在鑒賞和領悟，所以本教學設計側重在教學思路的引導上，而不體現具體的課堂教學過程細節，擬用兩課時完成本文的教學。

一．課前準備：學生初讀課文，感受全文，理清文章脈絡，搜集錢鐘書先生的有關資料。（上新課前檢查并補充有關知識）

1.散文的知識：一般來說，廣義的散文包括敘事散文、議論（哲理）散文和抒情散文等，狹義的散文只指抒情散文。議論性散文具有抒情性、形象性和哲理性的特點，它給讀者一種富于理性的形象和情感，從而提供一個廣闊的思索和聯想的空間。它往往蘊含深邃的哲理，熔情感、哲理、形象于一爐。

2.錢鐘書先生資料參考：錢鐘書(1910----1998)字默存，號槐聚。江蘇無錫人。1933年于清華大學外國語文系畢業后，在上海光華大學任教。1935年與楊絳結婚，同赴英國留學。1937年畢業于英國牛津大學，獲副博士學位。又赴法國巴黎大學進修法國文學。1938年秋歸國，先后任昆明西南聯大外文系教授、湖南藍田國立師范學院英文系主任。1941年回家探親時，因淪陷而羈居上海，寫了長篇小說《圍城》、短篇小說集《人·獸·鬼》、散文集《寫在人生邊上》、文論《談藝錄》。1953年后，在北京大學文學研究所任研究員。著有文論《管錐編》，對中國著名的經史子古籍進行考釋，并從中西文化和文學的比較上闡發、辨析。3.文章脈絡見教學內容分析。

二.默讀課文，學生質疑問難，老師幫助學生鑒賞反映行文線索、集中體現作者感悟句子的含義，體會作者對生活的思考。1.第一自然段：“春天從窗外進來，人在屋里坐不住，就從門里出去。不過屋子外的春天太賤了！” “太賤了”具體指什么？為什么要這樣說？

明確：“太賤了”是指陽光太多；風懶洋洋的，沒有生氣；鳥語瑣碎而單薄。這樣說的好處是表意準確，用語新穎傳神，且為下文揭示窗的作用和意義作好了鋪墊。

2.第一自然段： 作者為什么說“春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的”呢？為什么又用“畫配了框子”來作比喻呢？ 明確：因為作者認為屋外的春天太賤了，只有通過窗子的取舍，把室外又雜又亂的景物舍掉，去粗取精，陽光看起來才明亮，風才覺得有生氣，鳥語聽起來才更動人。

3.第二自然段：“門和窗有不同的意義”、“門許我們追求，表示欲望，窗子許我們占領，表示享受?！?/p>

明確：門，打開的是人的世俗社會；窗打開的是人的精神世界，通向人的精神世界存在。4.第三自然段：“窗比門代表更高的人類進化階段?！?“門是住屋子者的需要,窗多少是一種奢侈。“

明確：門滿足了人的物質需要，窗子滿足了人的精神需要。5.第四自然段：“窗可以算房屋的眼睛。”

明確：眼睛是靈魂的窗戶，我們看見外界，同時也讓人看到了我們的內心。

6.第四自然段：“《晚歌》起句所謂‘雙瞳如小窗，佳景收歷歷?！瑯拥刂徽f了一半。”句中的“一半”具體指什么，另“一半”具體指什么？

明確：“一半”指窗和眼睛一樣都可以看到外面，另“一半”指窗也和眼睛一樣，從外面也可以看到里面的東西。

三、誦讀課文，體會本文語言的特點。1.語言精煉。示例：“太賤了”具體指陽光太多；風懶洋洋的，沒有生氣；鳥語瑣碎而單薄。表意準確,新穎傳神，為下文揭示窗的作用和意義作好了鋪墊。“鑲嵌”逼真生動地揭示了春天和窗子的關系。延伸：“山尖全白了，給藍天鑲上一道銀邊。” 《濟南的冬天》.2.語言的哲理性。

示例：門許我們追求，表示欲望，窗子許我們占領，表示享受。門是住屋子者的需要，窗多少是一種奢侈。3.語言的幽默性。示例：“一個外來者，打門請進，有所要求，有所詢問，他至多是個客人，一切要等主人來決定。反過來說，一個鉆窗子進來的人，不管是偷東西還是偷情，早已決心來替你做個暫時的主人，顧不到你的歡迎和拒絕了。” 4.語言多用修辭。

對比：門許我們追求，表示欲望；窗子許我們占領，表示享受。

引用：①陶淵明的詩《歸去來辭》 “倚南窗以寄傲，審容膝之易安?！?“夏月虛閑，高臥北窗之下，清風颯至，自謂羲皇上人。” ②繆塞（Musset）在《少女做的是什么夢》那首詩劇里，有句妙語，略謂父親開了門，請進了物質上的丈夫（matérielépoux），但是理想的愛人（idéal），總是從窗子出進的。③劉熙譯名說：“窗，聰也；于內窺外，為聰明也?！闭蛣P羅（GottfriedKeller）《晚歌》（Abendlied）起句所謂：“雙瞳如小窗（Fensterlein），佳景收歷歷。”

比喻：窗可以算房屋的眼睛.用典：“據愛戈門（Eckermann）記一八三○年四月五日歌德的談話，歌德恨一切戴眼鏡的人，說他們看得清楚他臉上的皺紋，但是他給他們的玻璃片耀得眼花繚亂，看不出他們的心境。”

四.品讀文章第二自然段，思考討論以下問題。

1.本段作者著重闡述了門和窗的不同意義，說“窗打通了大自然和人的隔膜”，“門許我們追求，表示欲望，窗子許我們占領，表示享受”，請問作者是如何論述這一觀點的？（小組討論）

明確：先破后立，橫向鋪陳。

先駁斥了把“有沒有人進來出去”作為門和窗的根本分別；再舉“賞春”一事說明窗有“賞春”功能而門沒有；繼而又引用陶淵明的詩句（哪兩句？什么意思？稍微提提）證明，從容主宰自己生活的“羲皇上人” 確實可以通過窗戶來獲取享受；后面又引用繆塞的“妙語”和學習的“捷徑”說明通過“窗”執行自己的意志的是真正的主人。在這里，作者廣征博引，鋪陳設譬，信手拈來，直指心靈。

2.“窗打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把風和太陽逗引進來，使屋子里也關著一部分春天”這句中的“逗引”是什么意思？ 誰處于主動地位？（小組討論）明確： 用言語、行動招惹對方借以取樂。一開窗，“風和太陽便進來占領”，表面上是風和太陽處于主動地位，其實是窗將計就計，使“占領這個地方的就給這個地方占領去了！” 3.門會不會逗引風和太陽？如果不會，門和窗的意義究竟又有什么不同呢？如何理解“門許我們追求，表示欲望，窗子許我們占領，表示享受”呢？（小組討論）

明確：人為了生存，必須通過門從屋里出去，匍匐于大自然的懷抱，勞動生息，生死歌哭，做自然的奴隸；而窗隔開了人與自然的心理距離，將人與自然的生存、生死關系轉化為審美欣賞和享受的關系，借此，窗執行了主人的意志，保全了人性?？梢哉f：“門許我們追求，表示欲望”洞開的是人的世俗社會，通向人的動物性存在；“窗子許我們占領，表示享受” 洞開的是人的精神世界，通向人的人性存在。作者發人之所未發，見解獨到，充滿著人生的哲理。

4.以上的問題確實很有研討價值，但有研討價值的決不止這些問題。接下來把提問權和回答權都交給學生，比比誰提的問題最有研討價值，最能撞擊出思想的火花？ ??

五.課堂拓展學習，領悟平凡中見深意的觀察方法和思想方法。

課堂作業：選取日常生活中常見的某個事物，寫出你對它的獨特的感悟，力求有新意（200字左右）。

教師當堂引導學生對小作文進行交流、品讀、評價、總結。

第三篇：讀錢鐘書窗

讀錢鐘書〈窗〉有感

------外面的自由

人是有私心的，想呆在屋子里也能感受外面的自由，所以有了窗，這是我對窗的出現的奇想。

也許人們都有徐志摩《想飛》的愿望，渴望自由，將所有躁動的因子慷慨地暴露出來，與自然分享不拘一格的舒暢。然而，現實總驅使你忙碌于事業等。你不舍，所以用窗暗地里呼吸“自由”的氣味，調劑沉悶的生活。有位作家寫道“生活是一場曠日持久的婚姻，工作是這場婚姻中最鍋碗瓢盤的過程，瑣碎，單調，散發著霉爛的氣息。而自然，就像你朝夕暮想的一個情人，每天鮮活地站在窗外，群居飄舞，芬芳朦朧，等待著你與她的幽會”，就是這樣子，窗外面的自由是我們永恒的情人，作在屋里的人應該與她保持一種若即若離的關系，而窗子粉飾了她的美，用距離構造朦朧美，牽引著人們的好奇心。

因為得不到，屋里的人對窗外的自由總充滿著向往。同時，不容置疑的是，窗外確實是喚醒生命的境地。老鷹展翅高飛，蒲公英隨風流浪，浪花嬉戲于海水?..它們不因屋里的陰暗，冷漠，沉迷而靜止。潮汐依然不停，天地在彈指一間變化著。自由賦予了生命足以燃燒的能量，清煙為了達到白云的高度，離開屋子的暖和，一切在窗的眼里濃縮成快樂。當人在屋子里伏案努力時，月光以高姿態照入屋內，塵埃在光路中擁抱，問候，星星在夜空上歌唱，這時應感謝窗子，它們是善良的，將美麗同屋內者共同分享。

累了，站在窗前，眼睛所看到的應該是萬物在恬靜地安睡，她們想睡就睡，即使在風中，是自然恩賜的自由。閉上雙眼，放松全身的肌肉，呼吸著天地間的靈氣，任思緒乘著風神游，神游到烏托邦，放縱自我，沉醉于自然，參與快樂。

周濤在〈隔窗看雀〉中有這樣的一個結尾：“瞧，枝上的一個‘逗號’（麻雀）飛走了，‘噗’地又飛走一個?！币苍S，這就是外面的自由吧！

第四篇：錢鐘書經典美文翻譯

Business Sees Profits in Education: Challenging Public Schools By Irving H.Buchen

由于私人企業的介入，美國的教育正在經歷一系列快速、驚人的變化。

1.Education in the United States is undergoing a rapid and dramatic series of changes caused by private enterprise moving into the field.教育吸引私人企業有三個原因。第一是財務上的回報。估計教育是個有6000億美元的市場，超出國防部的預算。從幼兒園至12年級是最大的單個市場，1998年的價值達到了3100百億美元。除此之外，人們對學習的畢生追求，企業與機構進行的培訓項目是不斷增長的領域。2.Education attracts the private sector for three reasons.First, it can be financially rewarding.Education is estimated to be a $600 billion market, more than the budget for the Department of Defense.The biggest single market is kindergarten through twelfth grade(K-12), valued at $310 billion in 1998.Additionally, lifelong learning and training programs for businesses and organizations are growing areas.第二，教育受到嚴重的壓力，雖然內部盡全力進行改革，但人們對這個既有的體制信心不足。針對公共教育的種種敗筆，居家自學者和公辦民管學校有了增加，他們都是教育產品和教育服務的對象。居家自學者的家長們定期參加承辦者們推薦其教育產品和教育服務的地區會議。

3.Second, education has received such a bad press that confidence in the established system is low in spite of all the internal efforts at reform.In response to public education's many failures, home schoolers and charter schools have increased, and both are customers for educational products and services.Home-schooling parents regularly attend regional conferences at which exhibitors offer their products and services.第三，教育就在人們身邊，伸手可及。人們普遍認為專業的公共教育家們有充足的時間來徹底改變這一體制。私人企業即便是以營利為動力介入來糾正這種體制，只能怪教育家們自己，尤其是因為這類介入許諾會產生效果。

4.Third, education is there for the taking.The general attitude is that professional, public educators have had sufficient time to turn the system around.They have no one but themselves to blame for corrective intervention from the private sector, even if that intervention is financially motivated, and especially since these actions promise to achieve results.目前幾乎所有在營銷的新的教育產品和教育服務都帶有技術的特征。這種技術能替代全部教師或減少教師的數量，從而解決一些傳統教育中的致命弱點。譬如，替代教師只是降低了大量勞動密集型的教學過程導致的昂貴費用，而學生數量并沒有減少。這樣就取消了教師終身職位制，而終身制恰恰使那些既沒有受過培訓又沒有水平，不適應變化及新方法的教員始終留在崗位上。這一技術最終猶如最好的教師，永遠耐心溫和。它適合每個學生的不同學習速度和知識水平，永不疲倦。

5.Almost all of the new educational products and services now being marketed bear the stamp of technology.Such technology replaces teachers altogether or reduces their number, thus solving several critical weaknesses in traditional education.For instance, replacing teachers reduces the high cost of an excessively labor-intensive instructional process while still serving the same number of students.Then, too, it eliminates tenure, which unfortunately locks in instructors who do not have the training or knowledge to keep up with changing fields and new approaches.Finally, technology, like the best of teachers, is infinitely patient and reassuring.It accommodates the speed of each student and his or her level of learning.It never wearies.以下描述的是競爭教育市場的多家不同公司，以其所采用的主導技術排列。由于情況一直在變化，也許不是所有的主要競爭對手都在此出現。其目的不在于提供一幅完整的圖畫而是要展現教育變化的廣度。

6.Below is a description of the many different companies competing for the educational market, grouped by the main technology they use.Because the situation is in flux, not all the major players may appear here.The aim is not to produce a definitive picture but rather to demonstrate the extent to which education is changing.衛星連接 Satellite Links 擁有800多萬學生觀眾的第一頻道提供12到15分鐘的新聞廣播和適合不同年齡段的時事回顧。這一免費為學校提供的服務是由廣告商贊助的。學生喜歡哪個設計師的品牌或他們愛看哪種電視廣告的反饋則當作市場信息出售。

7.Channel One, viewed by over 8 million students, provides a 12-to 15-minute newscast and review of current events adjusted for different age groups.This service, free for schools, is sponsored by advertisers.Feedback from students as to what designer labels they prefer and what advertising they enjoy seeing on TV is then sold as marketing data.教育管理集團為4000多個教室開通虛擬旅行。集團花費3萬美元為教室配備了衛星實況轉播裝置和交互對話裝置，因此學生可以直接向在世界各地景點的電視制作人員提出問題。攝制景點包括考古、水下探險、科學實驗室以及藝術家工作室。

8.The Educational Management Group provides virtual voyages for over 4,000 classrooms.For $30,000, the company equips classrooms with a live satellite link and interactive speaker phones so that students can ask questions directly to a traveling series of TV crews visiting sites all over the world.Visits include archaeological sites, underwater explorations, scientific labs and artists' studios.軟件 Software 盧卡斯學習創辦于1998年的秋季。公司采用星球大戰的樣式為10至14歲兒童講授基本科學原理。例如，他們第一個軟件產品是星球大戰德勞特工廠。軟件以一個機器人工廠為背景，向學生解釋設計制造機器人涉及到的能量、光學、磁性、工程學和機械裝置原理及應用。9.Lucas learning was launched in the fall of 1998.The company uses the Star Wars format to teach 10 to14 year-olds basic scientific principles.For example, their first software product is Star Wars Droid Works.Set on the floor of a robot factory, it takes students through all the principles and applications of energy, light, magnetism, engineering and motion necessary to design and build robots.學習公司與布羅特邦德由布羅特邦德軟件公司（產品有卡門圣地亞哥和奧秘）與學習公司（產品有馬雅探索）最近合并而成。這家新公司注冊用戶增加了1倍，達到2000萬。最流行的軟件程序有點擊藝術、家譜制作、打印工藝、游戲策略、紅眼孩子及泥球墻，這些軟件用來開發8至12歲兒童的邏輯思維技能。

10.The Learning Company and Broderbund is the result of a recent merger between Broderbund Software(which produces Carmen San Diego and Myst)and the Learning Company(which produced MayaQuest), this new company has almost doubled its registered users to about 20 million.Some of the most popular software programs are Click Art, Family Tree Maker, The Print Shop, Games Strategies, Red Orb Kids, and Mudball Wall(which build the logic skills of 8 to 12 year-olds).計算機課程公司是從幼兒園至12年級的軟件最大的提供商。這個公司50個不同的程序對學生和教師都適合。公司提供追蹤個別學生和全班學生之需求與進步的程序，使教師能判斷學生的不足之處并每周給出進步情況的報告。最新的教具之一是一個幫助運作和協調學校課程計劃的程序。

11.The Computer Curriculum Corporation is the largest K-12 software provider.CCC's 50 different programs are both student-and teacher-friendly.The company provides programs that monitor the needs and progress of individual students as well as an entire class, enabling teachers to diagnose student deficiencies and give weekly progress reports.One of the newest teacher aids is a program that helps to manage and co-ordinate school lesson plans.MindQ Publishing 在成人計算機的開發市場上取得了極大的成功。MindQ目前有兩百多家用戶，如，國際商業機器公司、Sun、和微軟公司。MindQ用爪哇學院軟件培訓員工爪哇的程序編制技術。它還為家庭個別教學提供光盤，或針對某個公司的需要專門設計一整套計算機課程程序。

12.MindQ Publishing has been extremely successful in the adult computer development market.Currently used by over 200 companies such as IBM, Sun and Microsoft, MindQ trains employees in Java programming skills with its software Java Academy.MindQ provides CD-Roms for individual instruction at home, or it can design an entire computer curriculum tailored to the needs of a specific company.因特網 The Internet 大多數在因特網上提供教育產品和服務的公司致力于員工和管理業務培訓。電腦學校聲稱全校有3萬名學生通過電子郵件進行計算機培訓、現場聊天、診斷錯誤和個別指導。Pensare用一種游戲形式為1.6萬名接受管理培訓的用戶模擬實際公司場景。全球執行委員會力圖使最高管理層不太孤寡：其5000名總經理成員能與近350個旗鼓相當的顧問團體進行接觸，探討問題，交換意見，或是交換競爭經歷。國際生產力尖端在全美150個左右的培訓中心培訓約100萬名員工，還可通過遠程教育實施培訓。

13.Most of the companies offering educational products and services on the Internet are targeting businesses for employee and management training.Cyber School claims to have 30,000 student employees involved in computer training, live chat sessions, diagnostics and personal tutoring by e-mail.Pensare uses a game format to simulate actual corporate situations for its 16,000 management trainee users.The Executive Committee(TEC)Worldwide is dedicated to making it less lonely at the top: Its 5,000 CEO members can contact nearly 350 peer advisory groups in order to share problems, exchange ideas, or swap war stories.Productivity Point International trains about 1 million employees at some 150 training centers around the United States, but its training is also available through distance education.對于孩子們來說，還有媽媽傳媒, 這是一家據稱有9萬名12歲以下孩子注冊的因特網教育公司。由麻省理工學院畢業生創建的媽媽傳媒要求家長而不是教師對其內容及鏈接進行選擇。公司對學習主題強調三個X：探索（exploration），表述（expression），交換（exchange）。公司提供與筆友聯絡的軟件；傳授諸如素描、繪畫和攝影等爪哇工作室技術，提供讓青少年談論他們學習和生活的網頁。

14.For kids, there's MaMaMedia, an Internet educational company that claims to have 90,000 registered users under the age of 12.Created by MIT graduates, MaMaMedia seeks parental, rather than teacher, endorsement of its content and linkages.The company's learning themes emphasize the “three X's”: exploration, expression, and exchange.This company offers a program to link pen pals;teaches Java Studio skills such as drawing, painting and photography, and provides Web pages where teenagers can chat about their learning and living.至于成年人，有一所即將問世的知識大學，計劃為公司和個人提供高等教育和培訓。這家新的企業由大提供商--知識宇宙擁有。對此后面再作詳細描繪。

15.For adults, there's the soon-to-be-launched Knowledge University, which plans to offer post-secondary education and training to corporations and individuals.This new venture is owned by mega-supplier Knowledge Universe, to be described in greater detail later.根據位于康涅狄格州斯坦福的一家信息技術咨詢公司加特納集團的消息，美國別的提供網上教學的大學從1995年的25% 增加到1998年的65%。加特那集團預測這個數字在2001年還會增至80%。

16.As for other universities in the United States, 65% were offering online courses in 1998, up from 25% in 1995, according to Gartner Group, an information technology consulting firm in Stanford, Connecticut.The group projects that figure will rise to 80% by 2001.輔導 Tutoring

成績！屬于卡普蘭教育中心考前準備公司。它為大約兩萬名學生提供個別輔導。這一體制按照體育模式，強調學習小組，教師起拉拉隊長的作用?，F實生活和電子良師提供一對一的學術和職業咨詢。公司的數據庫里擁有有關未來職業的最新信息。洛杉磯剛選擇成績！為25所公共學校提供輔導。

17.Score!is owned by the test prep company Kaplan Educational Centers.It offers personal coaching to some 20,000 students.The system is based on a sports model, which emphasizes study teams;teachers function as cheerleaders.Real life and electronic mentors offer one-on-one academic and career counseling.The company's database contains up-to-date information on future careers.Los Angeles just selected Score!to provide tutoring at 25 public schools.思爾文學習系統最近與美國微波通信公司合作創建了100多個實驗中心，學生課外可以在那里接受高度復雜的技術培訓。40多個類似的中心仿照Caliber Learning Network，已為3萬多位學生提供了服務。很快思爾文將雄心勃勃地推廣其服務：尤其是想吸引空閑中的居家自學者。

18.Sylvan Learning Systems recently partnered with MCI to create over 100 pilot centers where students can receive highly sophisticated technology training after school.Over 40 such centers, dubbed the Caliber Learning Network, have served over 30,000 students.Sylvan will soon aggressively market its services;it will especially try to attract home schoolers during their off hours.電腦化考試

Computerized Testing 依據個人考試結果來提供教學與建議的電腦化考試方法進一步弱化了教師的角色。最初為美國海軍陸戰隊開發的微型貓，用來評估閱讀、語法和數學的技能。教育考試中心和美國空軍設計的HyDrive用來測試知識水準和解決問題的能力，并給予更正反饋。教科書出版社艾迪生韋斯利研制的指南針，根據學生的考試結果推薦學習計劃。電子閱卷機最終自動按照句法、詞匯、結構批改文章。教育考試中心還在對電子閱卷機作改進：目標是讓電子評估與人工評估的一致性達到85%。

19.Computerized testing methods that can provide instruction or suggestions based on an individual's test result are further diminishing the role of the teacher.Micro-Cat, originally developed for the U.S.Marine Corps, evaluates reading, grammar, and math skill.HyDrive, designed by the Educational Testing Service(ETS)and the U.S.Air Force, tests both knowledge and problem solving ability, it also gives corrective feedback.Compass recommends study plans based on a student's test results;it was created by text book publisher Addison Wesley.Finally, E-Rater automatically score essays for syntax, vocabulary, and organization.It is still being developed by ETS: The goal is for 85% agreement between E-Rater and human evaluations.書籍，玩具和電視

Books, Toys, and Television 盡管對尖端技術的依賴不是很大，以下的公司、產品和服務同樣也在打入教育市場： 英國出版大亨皮爾遜擁有企鵝圖書和金融時報。通過一連串的收購，兼并或聯營還擁有或管理著西蒙和舒斯特、艾迪生韋斯利、學徒館和其他出版社的教育分支。這是世界上最大的教育出版社。皮爾遜還利用它的金融基礎開發了一系列的金融投資、金融風險管理軟件程序，并提供從打字到語言學的培訓軟件。

聰明小丑是一家適合高消費階層的教育類的玩具商店，連鎖店遍布全美。聰明小丑不時使用或展示他們的教學玩具，為家長和孩子設計特別教育程序。商店里備有電腦，孩子們可以隨時上電子網，那是公司為孩子制作的每月時事通訊。另外一家叫跳蛙的玩具公司，用具有視音觸摸的掌上玩具進行閱讀、拼寫和字母教學。以斯坦福教授羅伯特?卡爾斐開發的語音系統為基礎，跳蛙玩具直接進入學校進行營銷或通過玩具店銷售。通過劇場有線電視公司播出的布盧線索系列，每周有500多萬觀眾，比巴尼和芝麻街的收視率還要高。其觀眾在標準考試中的成績要比不看此節目的人要好。布盧線索的觀眾可以和主持人一起通過尋找線索--一只卡通小狗布盧的爪印--整理分析這些線索來解決問題。

美國兒童發現中心聲稱大約有兩萬名學生在中心學習語言技術、邏輯思維及相互配合能力。中心致力于培養全方位的孩子，其方法之一就是給每個孩子充分的活動空間，他們認為這樣會啟發孩子們的思考能力。

20.Although less reliant on cutting edge technology, the following companies, products and services are also entering the education market:

21.The British publishing giant Pearson owns Penguin Books and the Financial Times.Through a series of acquisitions, mergers and alliances, it also owns or manages the education divisions of Simon & Schuster, Addison Wesley, Prentice Hall and others.It is the biggest educational publisher in the world.Using its financial base, Pearson has developed a series of software programs on investment banking and financial risk management.It also offers training software for subjects from typing to linguistics.22.Zany Brainy is an educational, upscale toy store with franchises all over the United States.Zany Brainy has designed special educational programs for parents and kids, usually using or demonstrating their teaching toys.The stores are equipped with computers where kids can access e-line, the company's monthly newsletter for kids.Another toy company, LeapFrog, teaches reading, spelling, and the alphabet with hand-held toys that combine touch, sight and sound.Based on a phonics system developed by Stanford professor Robert Calfee, LeapFrog toys are marketed directly to schools and through toy stores.23.The Blue's Clues series, from cable TV company Nickelodeon, has over five million weekly viewers, which is a higher rating than Barney or Seasame Street.This show's viewers outperform non-viewers on standardized tests.On Blue's Clues, viewers join the host in solving a problem by searching for clues-indicated by pawprints of the cartoon puppy “Blue”-and putting the clues together.24.Children's Discovery Centers of America claim some 20,000 students who learn language skills, logical thinking and cooperative play.The Centers seek to address the “Whole child.” One of their techniques is to give each child plenty of physical space and permission to move around, which they believe liberates a child's thinking.管理方法

Administrative Approaches

除了通過技術更新，企業家、教師、家長還力圖通過管理、組織和教學法的變化來提高教育質量。以下扼要地介紹這方面的努力。

25.Entrepreneurs, teachers and parents are seeking to improve education through administrative, organizational and methodological changes in addition to technological improvements.The following is a summary of these efforts.愛迪生項目

The Edison Project 這種方法或許是最有爭議、最具攻擊性的。但事實上愛迪生項目接管和管理了公立學校并產生利潤?？死锼?惠特爾是愛迪生項目的主席，又是第一頻道的初創者。愛迪生項目有“技術是第二語言”這類課程，需要更多的課時，包括暑期，要定期對教師和學生的表現作出評價。估計愛迪生項目目前管理著48所學校，據推斷1998年的利潤達到1.25億。

26.This method is probably the most controversial and invasive: Public schools are actually taken over and run by the Edison Project at a profit.Chris Whittle, president of the Edison Project, was also the creator of Channel One.The Edison Project features courses such as “Technology as a Second Language”;requires more hours of school attendance, including summers, and regularly assesses both teacher and student performance.Edison now manages an estimated 48 schools and projected a profit of $125 million for 1998.公管民辦學校 Charter Schools

另一類學校由教育董事會授權開辦并接受公共基金, 他們從同類小學和中學吸引學生,但其規模通常要比這些學校小許多。1998年，美國有800所這類公管民辦學校。通常學生家長也積極參與。當一個學生轉到一所公管民辦學校，這個地區就失去一份資金，因為這個學生的教育金配額被轉到了這個公管民辦學校。

現在來評判公管民辦學校的功效還為時過早。但支持者卻相信特別的關注和較小的規模自然會帶來變化。多數州限制公管民辦學校的數量，但最近加利福尼亞取消這個限制的做法也許會蔓延到其他州。由克萊納?珀金斯風險投資家 John Doerr領導的家長和企業經理同盟成功地去除了對加利福尼亞的公管民辦學校的封頂。Doerr進行冒險活動的主要伙伴是科技網，這是一個活躍的硅谷政治活動積極分子組織。

27.Usually much smaller than the comparable elementary, middle or high school room from which they draw students, these alternative schools are “chartered” by boards of education to operate.The charter authorizes the school to operate and to receive public funds.There were 800 charter schools in the United States in 1998.Normally a group of parents is heavily involved.When a student transfers to a charter school, the district loses funding because the educational allotment for that student is given to the charter school.28.It is too soon to gauge the effectiveness of charter schools, but proponents believe that the special attention and smaller size will automatically make a difference.Most states limit the number of charter schools, but a recent breakthrough in California may spread to other states: A coalition of parents and business executives, led by John Doerr, the Kleiner Perkins venture capitalist, succeeded in removing California's charter school cap.Doerr's major corporate partner in this venture was Tech-Net, a Silicon Valley political activist group.居家自學

Home Schooling 盡管居家自學的人數估計在100萬上下，但很多人認為實際人數會更高。難以估計這一數字的部分原因在于居家自學人數一直在增加。最初家長是出于宗教原因使他們對一些課程的授課方法有異議，現在由于擔心孩子的安全及教學質量使得居家自學流行開來。很多居家自學學生所在的地段沒有合適的私人或教會學?？晒┻x擇。

居家自學的家長們通過相互溝通，強烈要求地方學校為他們提供實驗室、健身房、藝術工作室、劇院和圖書館之便利，他們已扭轉了趨勢。最終的結果是居家自學者不再像當初那樣孤立了。最重要的是科技業已成為最高平衡器，提供給居家自學者的教育產品常常超越一般學校所擁有的產品。最后，居家自學日程安排機動靈活，可把家庭度假包括在上課和學習時間內。居家自學同一般學校教育相比至少是一樣成功，要是照標準化考試來衡量，則常常勝過一籌。

29.Although the estimated number of home-schooled students is about one million, many believe the actual number is higher.Part of the difficulty in estimating is that home schooling is growing.Originally impelled by parents whose religious views led them to object to the way certain subjects were taught, home schooling has caught on with parents who are concerned about their children's safety and quality of learning.Many home schoolers are located in areas with no viable private or parochial school alternatives.30.Home-schooling parents have transformed the movement by affiliating with each other and aggressively petitioning local schools to provide them with access to laboratories, gymnasiums, art studios, theaters and libraries.The net result is that home schooling is not as isolated as it was initially.Above all, technology has been the supreme equalizer by providing home schoolers with educational products that often surpass those available in regular schools.Finally, the home-school calendar is flexible and can include family vocations as school and study time.Home schooling is at least as successful as regular schooling, and often superior, as measured by standardized tests.知識宇宙

Knowledge Universe

營業額超過十億多美元的大品牌公司“知識宇宙”，是一家最為廣泛的教育競爭商與供應商，由 Oracle 億萬富翁總經理拉里?埃利森和有風險債券名聲的邁克爾?米爾肯共同創建，目的是想提供一種終生的教育產品和服務。

知識宇宙已經全部或是部分地擁有上面談到過的五家公司：美國兒童發現中心，Mind Q's Java Academy, 知識大學，世界技術教育理事會以及跳蛙。估計這些公司價值40億到60億美元。知識宇宙還看中了另外31家公司準備加以收購。其中一家便是管理著100家預備學校和三十多家私立學校的諾貝爾動態教育中心。該中心將在1999年接管第一家公管民辦學校。

31.With revenues of over $1billion, Knowledge Universe is the most extensive educational competitor and supplier-a mega-brand.The brain-child of Larry Ellison, billionaire CEO of Oracle, and Michael Milken of junk-bond fame, the company aims to provide a lifetime of educational products and services.32.Knowledge Universe already owns in whole or in part five of the companies discussed above: Children's Discovery Centers of America, MindQ's Java Adademy, Knowledge University, TEC Worldwide, and LeapFrog.These companies are estimated to be worth $4 billion-$6 billion.Knowledge Universe has also identified 31 additional industry segments for acquisition.One such candidate is Nobel Education Dynamics, which operates 100 pre-schools and over 30 private schools;Nobel will take over its first charter school in 1999 教育的未來

The Future of Education 顯然，三個R 將會被三個T加以補充：技術，協作和轉換。愛迪生項目是對的：技術是一種嶄新的語言，應該有它自身的課程。Pensare公司和成績!公司明智地強調配合與協作的學習--這是集體解決難題的團隊精神的教育翻版。這類學習方法同樣也培養了社區與社會能力。

33.Clearly, the three R's will be supplemented by the three T's: Technology, Teaming, and Transference.The Edison Project is correct: technology is a new language and deserving of its own curriculum.Pensare and Score!rightly emphasize cooperative and collaborative learning-the educational version of corporate problem-solving teams.This approach to learning also builds community and social skills.21世紀研究生英語綜合教程翻譯1 2009-03-08 11:00 BOOK 1 UNIT 1 Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.Because of the sizable colonial trades with many overseas areas, the gold and silver coins of all the important commercial countries of Europe and their dependencies in the Western Hemisphere were freely exchanged throughout the eastern seaboard.More important than English coins, which could not be legally exported from Britain to the colonies, were the sliver coins of the Spanish mint.These were struck in Mexico City and Lima and introduced into the Spanish colonies.Spanish dollars were so common in the colonies that the coin was eventually adopted as the monetary unit of the United States.由于殖民地與許多海外地區的大量貿易，所有歐洲重要商業國以及它們在西半球領地的金銀鑄幣在北美東海岸都可以 自由交換。由于法律不允許英國貨幣從英國流向殖民地，相比之下，西班牙的貨幣更加重要。這些貨幣在墨西哥城及利 馬鑄造，再進入西班牙殖民地。西班牙幣在殖民地被普遍使用，以至于這種硬幣最后成為美國貨幣單位。

Although Massachusetts first attempted to mint coins of low bullion content as early as 1652, the colonies eventually turned to paper to increase their meager and undependable money supply.The promissory notes of well-known individuals and bills of exchange drawn on English merchants readily exchanged hands for several months.In addition, treasures of the various colonies began to issue promissory notes in advance of tax collection and issue written orders to town officers requiring the payments of obligations from local stores, like other negotiable instruments, these pieces of paper were exchanged on endorsement as money.雖然早在1652 年馬薩諸塞率先鑄造低含金量的硬幣，但殖民地最后轉而印制紙幣以補充短缺且不可靠的貨幣供給。著名人士的期票與簽發給英國商人的匯票幾個月內就能順利轉手。此外，各個殖民地的財政部門開始在收稅前簽發期票，同時向城鎮官員下達書面命令要當地店鋪履行付款義務，如其他可轉讓的單據一樣，這些票據經背書后可作為貨幣進行交換。B.Translate the following sentences into English.1、隨著我國加入世界貿易組織，國有銀行面臨的壓力越來越大，為了盡快解決資本充足率以及擴大規模，這家大銀行打算與其他兩家小銀行合并。(merge)

Following the dramatic currency depreciations in many East Asian economies in 1997,these countries suffered sharp and lingering recessions.This outcome runs counter to the notion that depreciations ought to boost output because they make domestically produced goods cheaper.BOOK 1 UNIT 2 2 A.Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.(1)Not all regions will experience equal warming.Some areas may become much hotter and drier, while others actually experience colder weather.Other predicted effects of global warming include melting of the polar ice caps, flooding of coastlines, severe storms, changes in precipitation patterns, and widespread changes in the existing ecological balance.Current models predict a rise in global sea levels of 15-95 centimeters over the next century, high enough to put the homes of a third of the world’s population underwater.Infectious diseases may increase due to an expansion of habitat for disease vectors like mosquitoes.Many species may be unable to adapt to such swift changes in the climate, and may become extinct.并非所有地區的氣候都會經歷同樣的氣候變暖的情況，有些地區會變得更干更熱，然而另外一些地區則會遭遇較冷的天氣。全球氣候變暖可能產生的預期結果包括極地冰雪融化，海洋沿線被淹沒，劇烈的暴風雨，降雨模式的改變，以及現有生態平衡的廣泛變化等等。根據目前的模式，據估計在下一個世紀中全球海平面將上升15-95 厘米。這足以把世界上三分之一人口的家園淹沒。由于像蚊子一樣傳播疾病的昆蟲的棲息地的擴大，傳染性疾病也將變得越來越多，許多物種或許將不能適應如此劇烈的氣候變化而最終滅絕。

(2)At the end of the day, however, the only real, long-term ―solution‖ to the climate crisis has been overlooked by all our leaders.Without adapting our economics, we will simply be greening individual leaves on a dying tree.Our government, in line with its predecessors, is wedded to the belief that increased global trade is automatically a good thing.Thus, it has supported endless subsidies, both direct and indirect, that can benefit only the big corporations producing for long-distance export.但是，一切都考慮進去了之后，那個長期的真正能夠解決環境危機的方法卻被所有的領導人忽視了。倘若不去調整我們的經濟，我們將只能是綠化垂死的樹上的個別葉子。我們的政府，和它的前任們一樣，堅持認為持續增長的全球貿易理所當然是一件好事情。因此，政府給予了無數直接或間接的資助。這些資助只能使那些生產遠距離出口商品的大公司獲益。B.Translate the following sentences into English.1、在環境危機問題上，與其拿出一個不怎么有效的提案，還不如沒有提案，因為提案一旦做出，政治家們就會在其后一段時間內把環境問題放在一邊。(be better off;clean slate)As to the climate crisis, we are better off with a clean slate than a weak proposal.Because once the proposal is made, politicians will close the climate chapter for some time.2、她開始意識到，她的持續的腹痛是由于食用了上周在當地超市賤賣的熏肉而引起的。(cotton on;on offer)She’s cottoned on that her constant stomachache was caused by eating the smoked meat on offer last week at the local market.3、那位超級明星突然造訪一座海濱小城，第二天這則消息在當地報紙的頭版顯著刊登。（descend on;splash across）

The NIAID research team, led by Alexander Bukreyev, treated four monkeys with a test vaccine produced by inserting the gene responsible for producing a key SARS protein(known as SARS-S)into a weakened version of a human influenza virus.A further four monkeys received an inactive placebo vaccine;in all eight monkeys, the treatments were sprayed directly into the monkeys’ nostrils.由亞歷山大.波可樂耶夫領導的NIAID 科研小組把產生主要非典蛋白的基因（叫做SARS-S）插入一種削弱的人類流感病毒，并用這樣培養出來的試驗疫苗治療猴子。另外四個猴子給以安慰疫苗。把所有的藥直接噴進猴子的鼻腔。

One month after immunizations, both groups were deliberately infected with the SARS virus.The researchers found replicated virus in samples taken from the respiratory tracts of the animals that had received the placebo vaccine, a sign that immunization had failed.In contrast, animals that had received the full vaccine showed no such signs.免疫接種后一個月，兩組猴子都被感染上非典。研究人員發現，從接種安慰劑的猴子的呼吸道的取樣中有復制的病毒，這表明免疫接種失敗。而在接受正常疫苗的猴子身上卻沒有這種癥狀。

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat simultaneously.It was hanging on a rack at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass, crammed in with shoddy trench coats and an assortment of sad, woolen overcoats--a rose among thorns.在馬薩諸塞州北安普頓市的一家出售二手服裝的店里，我和我14歲的兒子約翰同時盯上了那件大衣。它就掛在衣架上，夾在劣質的軍用風雨衣和各式各樣寒酸的羊毛大衣當中，然而它卻像荊棘叢中的一朵玫瑰。

While the other coats drooped, this one looked as if it were holding itself up.The thick, black wool of the double-breasted chesterfield was soft and unworn, as though it had been preserved in mothballs for years in dead old Uncle Henry's steamer trunk.The coat had a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and an unbelievable price of $28.We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John's eyes gleamed.Dark, woolen topcoats were popular just then with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new.This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from a bygone era.其他的大衣都顯得沒精打采，惟獨這件衣服趾高氣揚。厚厚的黑色羊絨柔軟而蓬松，這件雙排扣暗鈕長大衣顯然還沒上過身，看樣子，就像用樟腦球在老亨利叔叔的扁平旅行箱里保存了多年。其做工精細：領子是黑天鵝絨的，商標是第五大街的，價錢讓人難以置信，只賣28美元。我們彼此看著對方，一言不發，可約翰的眼里卻閃著欣喜的光。黑色的羊絨輕便大衣那時在小伙子們中很流行，買一件新的要花好幾百美元，而這一件質地更好一些，還帶有一種逝去年代的古典美。

John slid his arms down into the heavy satin lining of the sleeves and buttoned the coat.He turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile.The fit was perfect.約翰將胳膊伸進了袖管里——襯里是厚厚的緞子，系上了扣子。他在鏡子面前轉過來調過去地打量著自己，臉上的嚴肅表情不一會兒就變成了微笑。衣服合身極了。

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big grin.“Ho.did the kids like your coat?” I asked.“They loved it,” he said, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.I started calling him “Lord Chesterfield” and “The Great Gatsby.”

第二天約翰就穿著它去上學了。放學回來他笑逐顏開。我問他：“那些孩子覺得你的大衣怎么樣？”“他們非常喜歡?！彼贿呎f，一邊在椅子背兒上把衣服仔細地疊起來，并甩手把它展平。我于是就開始叫他“切斯特菲爾德大人”和“了不起的蓋茨比”。

Over the next few weeks, a change came over John.Agreement replaced contrariness, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument.He became more judicious, more mannerly, more thoughtful, eager to please.“Good dinner, Mom,“ he would say every evening.在接下來的幾周內，約翰慢慢地變了：變得聽話而不再故意作對，遇事能心平氣和地商討而不再強詞奪理。他變得更明事理、更有禮貌，也更體貼人了。他也樂于討人歡喜。每天晚上都要說：“媽媽，晚飯好極了。”

He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the niceties of behaviour;without a word of objection, he would carry in wood for the stove.One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John--a veteran procrastinator – said, ―You’re right.I guess I will.‖

他會很慷慨地把自己的磁帶借給弟弟，并告誡他如何有良好的行為舉止；他會毫無怨言地把燒爐子用的劈柴抱進來。有一天當我建議他在晚飯前開始做作業時，約翰這個一貫拖拉的家伙居然說：“您是對的，我想我會做的?！?/p>

When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn't know what caused the changes, she said laughing.”It must be his coat!“ Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat.At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long time, ―Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.當我對他的一個老師提起這件事，并說我不知道這是為什么時，她笑著說：“一定是因為他的大衣！”另一個老師告訴他，她要給他一個好成績，不僅僅因為他理應獲得，還因為她喜歡他的大衣。在圖書館里我們遇見了一位朋友，他已經很長時間沒有看見我們的孩子了?？粗s翰長高的個子，品評著他大衣的樣式，這位朋友不禁問道：“這是約翰嗎？” 同時向約翰伸出了手，完全是紳士間的行為。

John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them.But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practising standards of excellence in though, speech, and behaviour, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.約翰和我都知道不應該以貌取人，可穿著優雅為世人看，在思想上、言語上、行動上實踐優秀的標準，以達到內外的和諧統一，這又另當別論。

Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered with a keen sting what it felt like to be in the eighth grade--a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast panorama where all the doors are open.And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.有時看著約翰上學去，我就不禁怦然心動，想起自己上8年級時的感覺——那時嘗試不同的生活方式就如同試衣服一樣簡單。整個世界、整個未來在你面前展開，猶如一幅巨大的畫卷，那里的每一扇門都敞開著。如果此刻我能回到那兒，我會在這些門間穿行，身上就穿著那件奇妙的、帶有魔力的大衣。

錢鐘書經典美文翻譯詳解：窗

出場人物：申雨平，北京外國語大學教授。錢鐘書先生的這篇散文說的是窗子，但是其用意絕不僅僅是說說窗子而已，而是要以窗子來比喻生活、比喻人生。從語言上看，《窗》延續了一貫的錢派手法，用詞平實、普通，沒有長句，沒有什么復雜結構，非常從容地敘述、說理，卻又緊緊地扣住了主題。這樣的特點對翻譯構成的難度不言而喻，翻譯中應當時時充分考慮上述特點，盡量在譯文中體現出來。

逐句分析：

窗

Random Thoughts on the Window(題目中的這個窗字，包含的意思較為豐富，使人有多種聯想，因此譯成Random Thoughts on the Window。)又是春天 It is spring again 中文是無主句，英文沒有這樣的句子結構，因此用It is...句型。原文里“又”用在句首，但是英文如果也把again放在句首，這個詞就太突出，分量太重了。所以again一詞在譯文中放在句末和原文“又”放在句首分量相當。

窗子可以常開了 and the window can be left open as often as one would like 用定冠詞the 加單數名詞window來代表所有的窗子。英語里表示“全部”可以有幾種方法：1)復數名詞，2)不定冠詞a/an+名詞，3)定冠詞+名詞。這里就是用的第三種，更側重其一致性?！俺ｉ_”不能譯成can open often或can be opened often。因為原文是從人的角度說的，人們什么時候想開窗都行，所以用了one would like這樣的說法。春天從窗外進來 As spring comes in through the windows 這句把春天擬人化了，英文也用同樣的結構就行。窗外：out of the window。但是，如果把“從窗外進來”理解成一個過程，用through表示就比較好。

人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去 so people--unable to bear staying inside any longer--go outdoors 破折號之間的形容詞短語說明人們在屋里坐不住的原因。bear：忍受，后面既可跟-ing動詞，也可跟不定式動詞。

不過屋子外的春天太賤了 The spring outside, however, is much too cheap 這里的“賤”，是說春天多陽光，以多為賤，中外同理，用cheap也就順理成章了。到處是陽光 for the sun shines on everything 這里和上一句是連接在一起的，所以用了連接詞for來說明原因。最好不要譯成the sunshine is everywhere。因為陽光并不是一種存在，而是說照耀在所有的一切上面，因此說shines。不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮 and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house 用seem是指屋里屋外陽光是一樣的，只是環境的反差使陽光顯得不同罷了。as...as是表示屋里屋外陽光的比較。that指the sun。

到處是給太陽曬得懶洋洋的風 Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere 這里加了一個詞outside，因為后面馬上要說到的“屋里”并不包括在“到處”一詞里；“曬”字英文里與之相當的詞就是shine，但是shine并沒有帶復合賓語的用法，所以換了一個角度來說這句話。sun-slothed是一個復合詞。

不像攪動屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣 but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house 沉悶這個詞在這里不是形容詞，而是名詞，所以用gloomy加上詞尾-ness構成了表示狀態的名詞。

就是鳥語，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來做襯托 Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off 說thin and broken而不說broken and thin只是因為語音的關系，音節少的詞放在前面，多的放在后面，結構上顯得平穩，不至于頭重腳輕。只要把這幾個詞連在一起朗讀一下就可體會出來。

我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子 It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame “我們因此明白”譯成It seems...，因為這是一種比喻的說法，直譯成英文會給人以突兀的感覺，所以用“似乎如此”的說法。be meant to be的意思是“原本為......”，加了always等于從語氣上與原文更相符合，并沒有特別具體的含義。中文說“窗子里”，而英文卻不能說in a windowpane，windowpane指的是窗子上的玻璃，這就是用behind的原因。同時，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義 At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window 悟到和上一句中的“明白”是相同的意思，it become clear that 這一說法比it seems that 要肯定一些。

當然，門是造了讓人出進的 Of course, doors were made for people to pass through 出進可以譯成to come out and go in，但譯成to pass through就顯得句子緊湊、精煉一些。但是，窗子有時也可作為進出口用 but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit entrance和exit這兩個詞比door和window抽象化了，充分表明了“進出口”的字面意思和含義。

譬如小偷或小說里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子 and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels 譯文用了by thieves and by lovers，而不說by thieves and lovers，因為這本來就是兩類人，不能放在一起混為一談。

所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒有人進來出去 In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits 比較一下different between和前文的different(from)：說兩者之間的區別，用different between A and B；而說A怎樣不同于B則說A is different from B。

若據賞春一事來看，我們不妨這樣說 When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way When it comes to是比較中庸的說法，不那么正式，但也不那么隨意，意思是“說起賞春......”，讓人們對下文有一個期待。

有了門，我們可以出去 a door makes it possible for one to go out “有了門”不能譯成with a/the door，因為這里不是說有還是沒有，而是有門存在，人們就可以進出房屋。

有了窗，我們可以不必出去 whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to Whereas而......。這是一個連接詞，表示一種前后的比較或對照。這里的句型和上面是一樣的，但是后面的not to have to 是不定式的否定形式，后面省略了go out。

窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜 A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature “由于有了窗子，人和大自然之間的隔膜才得以打破”，窗子起的是一種促進作用，其本身并不能去“打破”什么，因此用了helps to pull down。partition隔離墻?！案裟ぁ笔墙馄蕦W詞匯，這里用的是其引申意義，不能按字面譯成diaphragm，那樣意思就不對了。man and nature：man是指整個人類，所以不用任何冠詞；nature則是不可數名詞。把風和太陽逗引進來，使屋子里也關著一部分春天 It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house Lead：引導，引領。keep...in the house：使停留在屋里不能外出。

讓我們安坐了享受，無需再到外面去找 It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside 原文是說“安坐”，而實際上“安”的意思也應當能涵蓋“享受”，只是從詞的節奏上感覺“安坐”和“享受”都是兩個字的詞，似乎是并列的。譯文里譯成了sit...in peace，等于將狀語移了一個位。注意這句中幾個it的含義，第一個it指代window，第二個it是形式賓語，引出后面的to go...，第三個it是指代the spring。全篇通覽

窗 Random Thoughts on the Window

又是春天，窗子可以常開了。春天從窗外進來，人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去。不過屋子外的春天太賤了！到處是陽光，不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮；到處是給太陽曬得懶洋洋的風，不像攪動屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣。就是鳥語，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來做襯托。我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like.As spring comes in through the windows, so people——unable to bear staying inside any longer——go outdoors.The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house.Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house.Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off.It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.同時，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義。當然，門是造了讓人出進的。但是，窗子有時也可作為進出口用，譬如小偷或小說里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子。所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒有人進來出去。若據賞春一事來看，我們不妨這樣說：有了門，我們可以出去；有了窗，我們可以不必出去。窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把風和太陽逗引進來，使屋子里也關著一部分春天，讓我們安坐了享受，無需再到外面去找。

At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window.Of course, doors were made for people to pass through;but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit, and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels.In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits.When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way: a door makes it possible for one to go out, whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to.A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature.It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house.It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside.評價與分析：

1、Random of thoughts on the window 在random一詞中，給人以無限遐想之意，正好符合窗給人的感覺.random一詞用得比較恰到好處

2、and the window can be left open as often as one would like 用定冠詞the加單數名詞代表窗

子，具有一致性。而常開窗的翻譯:one would like 沒有比翻譯成can open often 則要漂亮得多，比較有人文氣息而且具有美感！

3、as spring comes in through the windows表達春天來了，運用了中文里面的擬人手法，將春天描繪得活靈活現，生動而富有美感。

4、for the sun shines on everything運用for來說明了原由，如果是我自己，則會翻譯成the sunshine is everywhere.顯然他的翻譯比我翻譯漂亮多了。

5、even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off

在這里，說thin and broken而不說 broken and thin 由于語音的關系，音節少的詞放在前面，多的放在后面，結構上顯得平穩，不至于頭重腳輕，讀起來比較有韻律，朗朗上口。在翻譯的時候，我們有時候不僅要注意詞匯的精準，同時結構也要恰到好處。

6、總而言之，這篇文章翻譯得比較漂亮，不管是用詞，還是結構，還是語感上，給人一種舒適感，讀起來朗朗上口，同時，詞匯簡練，容易讀懂。
