【三】:励志高考英语文章带翻译
“I dread to come to the end of the year,said a friend to me recently, ”it makes me realize I am growing old.“
William James, the great psychologist, said that most men are ”old fogies at twenty-fiveHe was right. Most men at twenty-five are satisfied with their jobs. They have accumulated the little stock of prejudices that they call their “Principles, ” and closed their minds to all new ideas; they have ceased to grow.
The minutea man ceases to grow-no matter what his years-that minute he begins to be old. On the other hand, the really great man never grows old.
Goethe passed out at eighty-three, and finished his Faust only a few years earlier; Gladstone took up a new language when he was seventy. Laplace, the astronomer, was still at work when death caught up with him at seventy-eight. He died crying, “What we know is nothing; what we do not know is immense.”
And there you have the real answer to the question, “When is a man old?”
Laplace at seventy-eight died young. He was still unsatisfied, still sure that he had a lot to learn.
As long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind, as long as he can look back on every year and say , “I grew,” he is still young.
The minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself, “I know all that I need to know,”--that day youth stops. He may be twenty-five or seventy-five, it makes no difference. On that day he begins to be old.
“我惧怕临近岁末年尾”,一位朋友最近对我说:“它使我意识到我正在变老。”
伟大的心理学家威廉?詹姆斯就曾说过,大多数人“25岁时就成了守旧落伍者”。他的话是对的。大多数人25岁时就满足于他们的工作。他们已经积累了一些他们称之为“原则”的偏见,对所有新的思想关闭心灵之门;他们已经停止成长。
一个人一旦停止成长--不管他年龄多大--他就开始衰老。反之,真正的伟人从来不会衰老。
歌德享年83岁,逝世前几年才完成《浮士德》;格莱斯顿70岁时又开始学习一门外国语;法国天文学家拉普拉斯78岁死时还在工作着。临死前,他大声喊道:“我们所知的太少太少,我们所不知的太多太多。”
“一个人何时变老?”,从这类事例中对这个问题你已经有了真正的答案。
拉普拉斯78岁逝世时依然年轻。他依旧不满足,依旧感到许多东西要学。
一个人,只要他能够保持这种心态,只要他在回首过去的一年时能够说“我在成长”,他就依然年轻。
他一旦停止成长,他一旦对自己说“我该懂的都懂了”,这个时候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25岁时死去,也可能在75岁时死去,这都没有区别。就在那一天,他开始变老。

【五】:高中英语入门学习方法
入门阶段要突出一个“练”字,就是要勤用眼,勤用耳,勤用嘴,勤用手,勤用脑。在我看来,这里最最重要的是要尽快攻下听说关。必须尽早学会张嘴说话。什么时候能做到“言论自由”了,学习英语的大门也就敞开了。
要解决听说入门,先要练语音,其次要结合基本语法,基本词形变化,口头反复操练基本句型。初学时,练的当然是简单的套话,但万丈高楼也就从此而起,不能眼高手低。普通成人初学者往往会说的不想说,因为觉得太简单幼稚。想说的又不敢说,因为怕犯错误让人看笑话。结果是一学就会,一听就懂,一过就忘,一说就错。成人的丰富思想,反而成了心理障碍。学习效果反而不如一些无所顾忌的孩子。记得我二十几岁大学刚毕业时曾教过一批准备出国的优秀中年科学工作者,其中一位就是现在复旦大学校长杨福家教授。当时我就说服他们跟我这个毛头小伙子一起咿呀学英语,讲“LittleTom”之类的小故事,天天一起操练一些最简单不过的东西。但一年半强化训练的结果表明,这种基本训练即使对这些尖端科学的中年学者也是有效的。
所谓听说能力,在入门阶段,实际上离话。东西背多了,迟早会消化,成为自己的东西。我还认为,在入门阶段,所谓听说的能力,首先就是听懂别人问题以及向别人提问题的能力。任何事物,能学会以不同问句形式(一般疑问句、特殊疑问句、反意疑问句、选择疑问句等),以不同人称,不同时态、语态,问清时间、地点、经过、原因、后果等等,并能流利作答,将是入门阶段了不起的成就。当然练习问答,最好有人对练。实际上,听说能力培养的前提是一个人要有交流思想的愿望和兴趣。性格过分内向,平时就沉默寡言,一天下来,连本国语也难得说几句的人,听说关要顺利过去肯定十分困难。听说训练,当然要由近及远,由浅入深。先从日常生活开始,逐步扩大题材。这就涉及到多听多读的问题,因为吸收语言的途径无非靠眼睛看和靠耳朵听两条。现在学习英语条件好了,练习听,不论软件或硬件都有现成的。但据我平时观察,不少学生听得不够,也听得不精。五十年代时英语教师中常常提“精”和“泛”的关系,认为两者应有机结合,不能偏废。我至今仍然认为这是一条真理。我主张学生应该有计划地精听一些东西。一周准备一小时左右的材料,每周的材料反复听它七八次,听到当年我儿子听“地道战”那种程度。即使做不到倒背如流,起码也要做到听来毫无困难。如此坚持四年,肚子里有这么二百小时左右的地道英语垫底,听的困难就该解决了。不仅听,这些呼之欲出的熟悉的声音,肯定也会为说的能力打下坚实的基础。
听说能力要想提高自然还必须和阅读结合起来。读的东西多了,词汇量大了,语言现象熟悉了,听力也会受益。实际上,阅读不入门,听说也难入门。所谓入门,简单说,我认为就是要开始大量阅读,读出味道来,养成习惯。读多少才算大量阅读呢?入门阶段是否可以定它一个50-100本的指标?我大学刚毕业时,因为学生时代政治运动,社会工作太多,加上起点太低(从ABC学起),所以基础太差,恐怕比不上今天刚入学的优等生。后来逼得没办法,只好下苦功,利用工作之余苦读。记得当时每周要上课18-24小时,每天还要下班辅导几小时,集体备课几小时,社会活动,政治活动几小时……,基本上不到晚上10点没有时间看书。就这样我几乎每天攻读到半夜一二点,星期日也基本上都背一个书包,带几个馒头,在紫竹园读一整天。甚至有时进城购物,也一路看书。走到城里,买东西来不及了,但书已看完了一半,又欣欣然空手看着书回校。一年多下来,就这样利用当时工余的可怜巴巴的一点时间,读完了一万四五千页书。事后发现,就这点书成了我英语学习的一个转折点。我并不希望年青人机械模仿,今天有人再捧着书边读边在路上走,也太危险。我只想说明阅读的作用非同小可。读些什么呢?学生们常常问。我的意见是不妨随心所欲。爱看爱情故事,就从爱情故事入手,爱读侦探小说,也不妨先看侦探小说。总之,根据个人兴趣、需要、条件决定,听其自然。因为开始时,最要紧的是要培养兴趣,养成习惯。以后读到一定程度,人们自然会有扩大范围的要求和能力。不过,从配合听说训练考虑,不妨先读些当代的小说;尤其是多读些剧本和电影脚本。因为这些书里活的语言多,学了就能用。当年我有段时间里专门读Shaw,James,Barry和Galsworthy等人的全集,就觉得对自己的口语很有帮助。总之,我不赞成过早结合理工科或其它的专业。我相信,专业英语如没有一般英语的雄厚基础,很难真正学通。当然,从长远看,读的材料也不能过偏。兴趣要广泛些。和饮食一样,挑食不好。阅读材料的难易程度一定要合适。满篇生词,阅读时大部时间在查词典,一小时只看两三页,读起来就索然无味了。也失去了大量阅读的本意。所以材料中生词难点不能过多,不能达到语言学家所说的“frustrationlevel”(使学生感到沮丧的程度)。一种合适的材料,读起来应该津津有味,爱不释手。为此,一小时七八页恐怕是起码的速度。总之,一开始材料不怕容易。只有容易,才能大量;而只有大量,才能入门。要不要查词典?开始时能不查就不查,能猜就猜。要不要记笔记?如是自己的书,精彩的地方做个记号也好,以后有空可以再重点翻翻,加深印象。但犯不着记太多笔记。记多了,花时间太多,也影响连贯阅读,而且成了一本词典,反而用处不大。这样泛泛读会有收获吗?肯定会有。这种收获也许不能具体计量,但它一定会成为你学习语言的丰富源泉。阅读入门以后,当然还要不断提高。记得北外五十年代和六十年代初提出过学生要过简易读物关,简易原著关(比如中文的英译本)和一般原著关三关,我觉得这一条今天也仍然站得住。21
大量阅读的关键是要解决词汇量太少这个拦路虎。这就成了美国小说里的“第22条军规”。要大量阅读必须有大量词汇,要有大量词汇又必须大量阅读。鸡和蛋,谁先谁后,很难说清。也许这就是两种东西相辅相成,互为因果的意思。在实际操作中,我认为特别需要记住的一点是,要扩大词汇,首先要学会区别对待“积极词汇”和“消极词汇”,也就是说不能满足于在教师指导下一个词一个词细细抠,而应该大量接触。对这大量的新词,可以只求辨认,不求甚解。只有降低掌握这些词汇的要求,才能在短期内扩大数量。反过来,也只有扩大了这些词汇,阅读中才不至于寸步难行。以后阅读大量开展了,大量的“消极词汇”就会“积极”起来,原来的“点头之交”就会成为你的“亲密战友”。
为了扩大词汇,还要学会联想,学会比较,学会举一反三。一个词的词形、发音、词义、用法都会有一些有趣的特点,能帮助我们记忆和掌握。见到一个词不妨同时想想它的同义词、反义词、派生词。在英美中学里有一门拉丁文课,据说对掌握构词法极有帮助。我们没有这门课,但同样应该重视构词法,以扩大我们的词汇。
扩大词汇能不能通过背词典的办法?我知道有不少人下过这种功夫,我本人就是一个(我曾经背过一本小词典,每天背一页,撕一页)。但回头来看,除非有特殊情况,比如在敌人牢里的革命者或当年上山下乡的知青,一般不必出此下策。因为词典收集的词不分轻重缓急,没有上下文,不利于多快好省地学习掌握。通过大量阅读来扩大词汇要容易得多。不过,在特定时期,为一个明确目标,在一定范围内进行一些词汇突击,还是可取的。记得我在大学一年级学完以后,利用一个暑假强记了三千多常用词,到了第二年,学习就显得十分主动,阅读起来也大大减少了困难。后来年级举行写作比赛,居然得了第一,使我当时受宠若惊,从此也进一步增强了学习的兴趣和信心。突击单词当然要一批一批来,恰到好处,而且一定要和阅读结合起来,不然死记硬背的东西很难在记忆中持久,也不可能学活。
以上我谈的主要都是入门阶段的一些问题。英语学习进入高级阶段以后,当然还有很多挑战。比如写作问题将日益突出。翻译能力的培训也是一个艰苦的过程。技能之外,知识又成为永无止境的探求的目标。一个学外语的人最终必然还会涉及文、史、哲、政治、经济、法律等领域。要真正成为一个有用的人才,终不能停留在语音语法词汇上。总还有整个文化素质的问题、人文修养的问题、理想的问题和气节的问题。不过这一些都不是本文的题目了。
