Learning a foreign language































学外语

Learning
a
foreign
language
was
one
of
the
most
difficult
yet
most
rewarding
experiences of my life. Although a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.

学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历。

虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。




My experience with learning a foreign language in junior middle school, when
I took my first
English class I had kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this
positive method, I eagerly answered all the question I could, never worrying much about making
mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.
我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。

老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。

由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答
错。

两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。




When I went to senior middle school ,I was eager to continue studying English however, my
experience in senior middle school was very different from before. While my former teacher had
been
patient
with
all
of
the
students,
my
teacher
quickly
punished
those
who
gave
incorrect
answers.
When
we
answered
incorrectly,
she
pointed
a
long
stick
at
us
and,
shaking
it
up
and
down, shouted,
”
NO!no!no!
”
it didn
’
t take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not
only did I
lose my joy in answering
questions,
but I also lost my desire to
say anything at all
in
English.


到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语，然而高中时的经历与以前大不相同。

以前老师
对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。

每当有 谁回答错了，她会用长教鞭
指着我们，上下挥舞着，大喊道：
“
错！错！错！
”

没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。

我不
仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。




However,
state
didn
’
t
last
long.
When
I
when
to
college,
I
learned
that
all
students
were
required
to
take
an
English
course.
Unlike
my
senior
middle
school
teacher,
my
college
English
teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! The situation was
far from
perfect, though. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple
of
questions
in
each
class
period.
Also,
after
a
few
weeks
of
classes,
I
noticed
there
were
many
students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So ,once again, although
for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same
level forever.



然而这种情况没持续多久。

到了大学，
我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。

与高中老师不同，
大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，他们没有哪个带教鞭！

不过情况却远不尽人意。

由于班大，每堂
课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。

上了几周课后，我还发现，许多同学的英语说得比我要好得
多。

我开始产生一种畏惧感。

虽然情况与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。

看来我的
英语水平要永远停步不前了。







That was the situation
until a couple
of
years later when
I was
offered an opportunity to
study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, a phone
line,
and
a
modem.
I
soon
got
access
to
the
necessary
equipment,
learned
how
to
use
the
technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.

几年后我
有机会参加了远程英语教学课程，
情况才有所改善。

它需要一台电脑、
电话线和调制解调器。

我
很快配齐了必要的设备 并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，
于是我每周用５到７天在网上的虚拟
课堂里学习英语。






Online
learning
is
not
easier
than
regular
classroom
study;
it
requires
a
lot
of
time,
commitment and
discipline to keep
up with the flow of the course. I worked
hard to meet the
minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.


网上学习并不比
普通的课堂学习容易。

它需要花更多的时间，需要学习者专一、自制，以跟上课程进度。

我尽
力达到课程的最低限度的要求，并按时完成作业。






I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a
notebook
in
which
I
listed
any
new
words
I
heard.
I
made
many,
sometimes
embarrassing
,
mistakes. Once in a while I cried out of frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn
’
t
feel
intimidated
by
students
who
spoke
faster
than
I
did
because
I
took
all
the
time
I
need
to
think
out my ideas and wrote a reply before
posting it on the
screen.
Then, one day I realized I
could
understand
just
about
everything
I
came
across,
and
most
importantly,
I
could
“
say
”

anything I wanted to
in English.
Although I was still making many
mistakes and was continually
learning new ways to say things, I had finally reaped the benefits of all of my hard work.

我随时
随地都在学习。

不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我听到的生
词。

我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。

有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时我想放弃。

但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到 畏惧，
因为在屏幕上作出回答之前，
我可以根据自己
的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。

后来有一天我意识到我能够理解碰到的各种问题，更重要的
是，我能用英语表达我想 说的东西。

尽管我还是常常出错，仍处于继续学习阶段，但我已尝到
刻苦学习的甜头。




Learning
a
foreign
language
has
been
a
most
trying
experience
for
me,
but
one
that
I
wouldn
’
t trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard
work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of
seeing things. The
most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that
I could
communicate
with
many
more
people
than
before.
Talking
with
people
is
one
of
my
favorite
activties,
so
being
able
to
speak
a
new
language
lets
me
meet
new
people,
participate
in
conversations,
and
from
new,
unforgettable
friendships.
Now
that
i
speak
a
foreign
language,
instead of staring into
space when english
is
being
spoken, i can participate and
make friends.
i
am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.

学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但却是一种无比珍贵的经历。

它不仅使我懂得 了艰苦努
力的意义，而且使我认识了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。

学习一门外语最
令人兴奋的收获是我能与比以前更多的人交流。

我乐于与人 交谈，新的语言使我能与以前不认
识的人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。

现在我已能够说外语，别人讲英
语时我不再茫然不解了。

我能够参与并结交朋友。

我能与人交流，
并能够弥合我所说的语言和
所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。

Deep concern
The radio clicked on. Rock music blasted forth. Like a shot, the music woke
Sandy. She looked at
the clock;
it was 6:15
A.M. Sandy sang along with the words as she lay listening to her favorite
radio station.

收音机


嘟

地一声，
摇滚乐就


哗啦

地响开了。

音乐像枪声似的将桑迪吵醒。

她
看了一下钟，
6
点一刻。

她躺在床上，听着她喜欢的电台广播，嘴里哼着歌词。

“
Sandy
,”
shouted
her father.
“
sandy, turn that music off!
”
Steve finch burst into
her room.
“
Why
do you
have to listen to such horrible stuff? It
’
s the
same thing
over and over.

I’
m not sure it
is
really music, though it does have
rhythm.
”



桑迪，

她父亲叫嚷了起来，


桑迪，
把音乐关了！


史蒂夫
·
芬奇冲进她的卧室。


你为什么一定要听 这么糟糕的音乐？一样的东西，听了一遍又
一遍。虽然有节奏，可恐怕不是真正的音乐。

哼，根本不是真正的音乐。

这音乐怪透了，绝对
糟糕透顶。




I like that music, dad; it
’
s my favorite. Listen for a minute;
I’
m sure you
’
ll like it. Sandy reached
for the radio to turn it up louder.


我喜欢这音乐，爸爸。
这是我喜欢的乐队，叫

'
绿浪
'
。

您听一
下吧，肯定您会喜欢的。

它的含义丰富，很有感染力。

您年轻时就没听过这样的音乐？

桑迪
伸手把音乐开得更响。

“
No, no, don
’
t do that. I can
’
t stand it. Turn that radio sown so your mother and I can
’
t hear it.
I’
m
sure that music is hurting your ears as well as your brain.
”


别，别开那么响，我受不了。

我那时
听的音乐也有丰富的含义，可 它的歌词明明白白，作者不用这么令人讨厌的歌词。

把收音机关
小点，这样我和你妈妈就听不到了。

我敢肯定，那音乐既伤你的耳朵，也伤你的大脑。

好了，
请快点，把它关了。准备上学，不然就迟到了。




Sandy
walked

into
the
bathroom
and
turned
on
the
shower.
Then
she
grabbed
the
soap
and
washed thoroughly, including her hair.

桑迪走进浴室，打开淋浴喷头。

开始水有点冷，不过这
倒可以帮她清醒清醒。

过了一会儿，水就越来越热。 她想：

淋浴的感觉就是好，我可以一个人
在这里唱歌，没人打扰我。

她抓起香皂，浑身上下洗个遍，连头发也洗了。

要是她在浴室待
得太久，她爸爸或妈 妈就会砰砰地敲门催她快点。她赶紧抓了条浴巾，把身子擦干。

After her shower, Sandy brushed her hair, put on her old, green T-shirt and some jeans. Then she
put on her makeup and went to the kitchen. As usual, she didn
’
t know what to have for breakfast,
so she
grabbed
a glass of milk and ate a piece of toast while
standing by the
sink.
Just then, her
mother, Jane, entered the kitchen.

淋浴后，桑迪梳了梳头发，穿上一件旧的绿色圆 领衫和一条
牛仔裤，肩头上披了件毛衣。

接着她画上妆，然后抓起书本走进厨房。
