在教英語(yǔ)方面你有沒有不喜歡的地方

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論英語(yǔ)，
 
在教英語(yǔ)方面你有沒有不喜歡的地方
 
來(lái)聽今天的講解:
 
A: We're both English teachers. Is there anything you hate about teaching English?
 
我們都是英語(yǔ)老師。在教英語(yǔ)方面你有沒有不喜歡的地方？
 
B: There's actually not much that I hate about teaching English but there is one thing which drives me balmy, and annoys me more than anything else and that's correcting the same mistake over, and over, and over again, and it seems that every country in which I've worked, every nationality in English learners have one mistake that they always make over and over again. In Hungary, when you say how are you to a Hungarian student, they'll reply in English, I'm feeling myself well, which is a direct translation from Hungarian but sounds rather strange and a little bit rude in English, and I must have corrected that mistake millions of times while I was there. The same students again and again and again and again, so the repetition of making the same correction really gets my goat. How about you? What do you hate about teaching?
 
實(shí)際上在教英語(yǔ)上我沒有太多不滿意的地方，不過(guò)有一件事真的會(huì)讓我抓狂，讓我很生氣，那就是反復(fù)糾正同一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，在我工作過(guò)的每個(gè)國(guó)家，各國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的人都會(huì)反復(fù)犯同一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。在匈牙利，如果你問(wèn)匈牙利學(xué)生“你好嗎”，他們會(huì)用英語(yǔ)回答“我感覺自己很好”，這其實(shí)是從匈牙利語(yǔ)直接翻譯過(guò)來(lái)的，不過(guò)用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)的話聽起來(lái)很奇怪，我在匈牙利的時(shí)候糾正了這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤無(wú)數(shù)次。同一個(gè)學(xué)生會(huì)反復(fù)犯這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，所以重復(fù)糾正同一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤讓我很生氣。你呢？在教學(xué)方面你有不喜歡的嗎？
 
A: I really wouldn't say I hate something about teaching, but I definitely think there are things that waste my time when I'm teaching. After every lesson, I very carefully write up a lesson plan, bring all those materials together, put it in a little plastic wallet and store it away in a folder, and I know full well I will never open that folder to read about that lesson again. I kind of approach every lesson as fresh and new and try and come up with something different and every time I'm writing them all up, doing all this paperwork and I really don't need to. I need to get in control of myself and stop doing that. You told me what you most dislike about teaching, but I'm sure you love this job. What are some things you like about English teaching?
 
我不會(huì)說(shuō)我討厭教學(xué)，不過(guò)我認(rèn)為教學(xué)時(shí)會(huì)有浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的情況發(fā)生。每節(jié)課之后，我要仔細(xì)整理課程計(jì)劃，把所有材料放在一起，裝進(jìn)塑料文件袋中，然后放在檔案夾里保存起來(lái)，我清楚地知道我不會(huì)再打開那個(gè)檔案夾，不會(huì)再瀏覽那份課程計(jì)劃。我每節(jié)課都會(huì)想些新計(jì)劃，想出不同的教學(xué)方法，每次我都會(huì)整理這些資料，可是其實(shí)我不必這么做。我要控制我自己，不要再這么做了。你之前說(shuō)過(guò)你最不喜歡教學(xué)的哪個(gè)方面，不過(guò)我確定你很愛這份工作。那你喜歡教學(xué)的哪些方面？
 
B: I think the thing I like the most about teaching is what I call the "Ah-hah" moment when you're studying a language point with a class or a student and you can almost see physically the moment they understand, the moment they're able to make sense of the language of they can do the task that you've asked them to do, and you can almost see a light bulb go off above their head, "Ah-hah! Now I understand." and I love that. I love the surge of confidence that gives the students and also makes me feel really good that I helped them to reach that point. What do you love about teaching Tom?
 
我最喜歡教學(xué)的地方是我稱之為“啊哈”的時(shí)刻，就是和學(xué)生一起研究語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，那個(gè)時(shí)候你幾乎可以看到他們用身體表達(dá)出他們理解了，他們明白那個(gè)語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)、能完成你布置的任務(wù)以后，你幾乎可以看到他們頭上的燈亮了起來(lái)，“啊哈，現(xiàn)在我明白了。”我非常喜歡這點(diǎn)。我喜歡幫助學(xué)生們提升信心，這讓我感覺很好，因?yàn)槲規(guī)椭麄冏龅搅诉@一點(diǎn)。湯姆，你喜歡教學(xué)的哪方面？
 
A: The thing I really love is right at the end of the course, when the students come up to you after a long time of haranguing about homework and about being late and about correction and drilling and the students come up and say, "Teacher, we're all going to dinner at the end of the course. Do you want to come with us?" and that must makes me smile. Now, I know I saying this to you Jess, but I know there's a lot of people out there listening to this. It really makes my heart warm to go and have some social time with the students at the end of a long course.
 
我喜歡的是課程快結(jié)束那個(gè)階段，在長(zhǎng)時(shí)間抱怨作業(yè)、遲到、糾正和訓(xùn)練以后，學(xué)生們會(huì)過(guò)來(lái)問(wèn)你：“老師，課程結(jié)束后我們要一起去吃晚飯。你想和我們一起嗎？”那一定會(huì)讓我微笑。杰西，我知道我現(xiàn)在只是在對(duì)你說(shuō)，可是我也知道有很多人會(huì)聽這個(gè)節(jié)目。在長(zhǎng)期課程結(jié)束以后和學(xué)生們一起度過(guò)社交時(shí)間，真的讓我感覺很溫暖。
 
B: So the thing you like most about teaching is when the teaching is finished?
 
所以你最喜歡教學(xué)的地方是教學(xué)結(jié)束時(shí)？
 
A: Oh, you've got me on that one, yes.
 
哦，我也說(shuō)不清楚，應(yīng)該是吧。
