在初中时,你们英语课上有接触过议论文吗?下面是我给大家整理的初中英语议论文写作,供大家参阅!
Television has come into our life for many years.
We can’t live happily without television. Jt can give us the latest information and news. It can open up our eyes and enlarge our knowledge. We can get happiness from the plays on television. We’ll be boring all day if there is no television. Television programs are attractive. After a whole day’s hard worlk we can sit before the television and drink a cup of tea. How wonderful it is!
Television is also bad for people’s health. It’s bad for you to watch TV too long, especially bad for your eyes.
It is true that watching TV can influence our behavior. However, it depends on what we do.
We are middle school students and we are busy with our lessons. So some people think we should concentrate more on our studies. If we volunteer to help others, it’s a waste of time. But I think volunteering is great. I not only feel good about helping others but also get to spend time doing what I love to do. And from volunteering I have learned many things that I have never learned in class. So if I have an oppoutunity, I’d like to visit old people’s home to clean up for them. I’d also like to help sick kids in hospital. I love kids and I plan to put my love to good use by working in hospital. In a word, I’d like to help people who need help. If everyone helps out a bit, the world will be more colorful.
Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. It offers a lot of advantages. The most important one is convenience. You can shop whenever you like because the online shops are open 24 hours a day. And you don’t have to queue with others. And it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet and it is also easy to find what you are looking for.
There are some disadvantages, too. You can not see the products or check their qualities. Besides you can not enjoy walking around the shops and talking with your friends.
8Should We Keep the Students in School All the Time?
Hello, we should keep the students in school all the time is a hot topic among educationists,teachers and teachers think that in order to let the students have more time for their lessons and develop their good behaviors,the schools are supposed to be sealed off,so the students can't go out and have to stay at some teachers and the students hold a different believe that would cause some students will have no time for relax,doing something they like,and that would do harm to their health,as well as their my mind,I don't think it's a good way to keep the students in school all day every one of us,need time and places for do not keep the students in school all the time,for our students and education,
That's all,thank you.
As the old saying goes(正如老话所言), a life without a friend is a life without a sun.(生活没有了朋友就像没有了太阳).But some people may say,we teenagers may let our friends talk us into doing bad as to pleased their so called "friend".This is because we teenagers are lack of the self-control ability.
I like staying with friends. Because friends are always give me a helping hand when in course, I will treasure(珍惜) my friendship no matter what.
10In modern society, people tend to be self-centered. Yet in my opinion, helping others should still be encouraged.
First of all, when you give a hand to a person in need, not only will he be free from the trouble but you will also feel good helping him.
Apart from that, helping others facilitates an efficient civilization. After the threshold of the new century of information explosion, it's not enough to perform on one's own any more. Teamgeist and cooperation are gaining importance.
Thus from the above mentioned two reasons, i hold the opinion that helping others benefit the most.

初中阶段是英语教学的重要阶段,这一时期打牢英语根基,学生今后才有可能学好英语;如果这一时期学不好英语,学生今后更学不好英语;同时教师在英语教学中起着重要的作用。下文是我为大家整理的关于初中英语教师论文的内容,欢迎大家阅读参考! 初中英语教师论文篇1 试探初中英语渗透 文化 摘 要:语言与文化互相影响,互相作用,理解语言必须了解文化,理解文化必须了解语言。文化是形形色色的,语言也是多种多样的。语言是文化的基石――没有语言,就没有文化;从另一个方面看,语言又受文化的影响,反映文化。 关键词:初中;英语;渗透;文化 语言是交际的工具,语言教学的最终目的就是为了能在生活中交流,运用。而交际能力的核心就是使学生能够运用所学语言在不同场合中对不同对象进行有效的,得体的交际。不同国家,民族之间的文化有着很大的差异,交际失败往往因文化误解而引起的,而忽视社会文化差异的言辞不当就更让人接受不了。因此在英语教学中,教师帮助学生认识中西文化差异,正确地理解中西语言差异,是教学中必不可少的。 一、语言与文化相互作用 语言是文化的一部分,语言又受文化的影响。有些社会学家认为,语言是文化的基石――没有语言,就没有文化;从另一个方面看,语言又受文化的影响,反映文化。可以说, 语言反映一个民族的特征,它不仅包含着该民的历史和文化背景,而且蕴藏着该民族对人生的看法、生活方式和 思维方式 。语言与文化互相影响,互相作用,理解语言必须了解文化, 理解文化必须了解语言。文化是形形色色的,语言也是多种多样的。由于文化和语言上的差别。 互相了解不是一件容易的事,不同文化间的交流常常遇到困难。 学习一种外语不仅要掌握语音、语法、词汇和习语 而且还要知道择这种语言的人如何看待事物,如何观察世界;要了解他们如何用他们的语言来反映他们社会的思想、习惯、行为;要懂得他们的“心灵之语言”,即了解他们社会的文化。实际上,学习语言与了解语言所反映的文化是分不开的。语言是文化的一部分,并对文化起着重要作用。有些社会学家认为,语言是文化的基石――没有语言,就没有文化;从另一个方面看,语言又受文化的影响,反映文化。 因此,语言不仅仅是一套符号系统,人们的语言表现形式更受语言赖以存在的社会文化的制约和影响。文化内涵是语言交际的具体内容,文化意识是语言交际的思维基础不了解语言背后的文化,只是形式,而不注意语言的内涵,就不可能真正掌握这种语言。 二、语言于文化相互渗透 (1)语言教学有助于避免文化交际中出现 “文化错误”。为什么西方的笑话,在中国笑不起来?为什么在中国广为传颂的传统美德“谦虚”,在西方则被认为是无能的表现?在东方,更强调集体表现和集体主义精神,在西方,则强调个人表现和个性张扬,他们认为, 不愿显露自己才华的人,是不可思议的和奇怪的。以上问题的症结,归根到底是文化差异问题。在跨文化交际过程中,经常出现的文化错误主要表现在称呼方面、 问候语 方面、对赞扬的反应方面、谈论的话题、词语以及文化内涵方面的差异等。 (2)文化教学有助于英语语言知识的学习。美国 教育 家斯宾赛提倡“快乐教育”,要尽量激励学生的学习兴趣,带着快乐的情绪去学习知识变求知为一件快乐的事。轻松愉快的课堂气氛,师生情感的融合,就能激励起学生对 英语学习 的浓厚兴趣,积极主动地参与教学活动,学生获得情感的满足,从而更好的完成学习目标。因此,适时适量渗透文化知识教育, 尤其是跨文化交际中需要注意的知识 ,恰是调动气氛的良好工具。 (3)文化教学有助于提高学生的文化素养。在英语教学中渗透有关西方的文化知识,不仅可以使学生接受异国的文化,还可以在进行文化对比的同时,对本国文化有更深刻地理解,从而形成正确得体的交际,培养学生的世界文化意识,并能有意识地提高自身的交际能力。 三、语言中如何渗透文化 1.课堂教学渗透文化 毫无疑问,课堂教学是跨文化意识培养的主要途径,教师要通过课堂讲解渗透英语国家的文化。 (1)充分利用现代教育技术和多媒体教学手段在教材授课过程中,利用现代教育技术和多媒体教学手段,制作出精美的课件让学生能够直观地感受到异国文化。通过制作一些相关的 PPt /flash,或是观看一些英语原声电影,动画片或是科普短片,不但能使学生更多地了解英语国家的文化,学到更多的科学文化知识,而且能增强学生的学习兴趣,帮助学生的语言学习,提高对异国文化的认知与欣赏。 (2)引导学生就同一主题进行中西比较。在教授校本教材过程中,可以引导学生就同一主题进行比较,如食品、习俗、节日等,从而加深对异国文化的理解。大的主题如节日 ―― 春节 和 圣诞节 ,将这两个重大的节日进行比较, 师生间的活动可以通过问答进行When's Christmas Day/Spring Festival? What do people usually do on Christmas Day/ at Spring Festival? Which do you like better? Why? 把西方的传统节日和中国的传统节日进行比较,一方面可以使学生加深对知识点的掌握,另一方面能是他们体会不同的文化差异。 2.课外活动渗透文化 文化的学习不应只限于课内,课堂外的文化教学也是一个很好的延续和补充,它能为学习者提供一个从量变到质变的过程。 具体 方法 为: (1)指导学生阅读有代表性的外国文学作品。文学作品是 传统文化 的积累,也是文化的精华部分。如《百万英镑》《双城记》《项链》等。 (2)编写系统地介绍文化知识的阅读材料。尽可能搜集一些目的语国家的政治、经济、社会、科技、艺术、习俗、历史、地理等各方面的材料,力求通过大量的阅读让学习者在不知不觉中增加自己的文化含量。如在平时的课外阅读中,让学生正确理解 big brother( 地面塔台的跟踪雷达), brain drain(人才流失), rain check(雨票, 即球赛因雨中断, 留给下次继续使用的原票票根)等这些跨文化背景知识。 总之,学习语言与了解语言所反映的文化是分不开的。英语教学不仅是帮助学生掌握语言基本技能的过程,更是一个引导他们理解目的语文化、提高文化素养、培养跨文化交际能力的过程。 因此在今后的中学英语教学中我们应该贯彻语言教学与文化教学同步的原则, 在教学中有意识地向学生渗透文化教学,使我国的英语教学适应社会发展的需求,从而促进英语教学的发展。 初中英语教师论文篇2 浅析初中英语情景教学 摘 要: 教学方法 新颖又富有启发性,可激发学生的学习兴趣,使学生感到有趣、有味、有奇、有惑。 关键词:初中英语;情景教学 兴趣是最好的老师。教学方法新颖又富有启发性,可激发学生的学习兴趣,使学生感到有趣、有味、有奇、有惑。英语教学中,巧用情景教学法不失为一条锦囊妙计。创设情景的方法很多,结合笔者多年来的教学实践,从课堂教学和课外教学两方面着手, 总结 如下: 一、初中情景教学法的提出 语言是一种社会现象,人类语言学家都强调语言和它的社会环境的联系性和不可分离性。人脑对客观情景的反映用语言记载下来,所以语言是客观环境的反映。人们运用语言进行交际活动时,离不开社会语言情景。 在英语教学过程中,学生只有在真实的语言情景或模拟的情景中才能更好地组织思维,理解具体情景中所传递的信息和语言材料,触景生情,激发表达思想的欲望,从而促进培养运用英语理解和表达思想的能力。而情景教学法可以激发学生学习激情,培养学生浓厚的学习兴趣,促成学生智力因素和非智力因素的发展,从而从整体上正确理解和运用语言。 二、初中情景教学法的概述和意义。 情景,即:(具体场合的)情形、景象。所谓的情景教学就是根据教学内容为学生创造出一种和谐的语言环境,并通过教师本人的语言、动作、表情及姿态传递给学生,从而以情激情,以情促知,以情育人,实现知与情的统一、优化,最终达到激发学生学习的兴趣。情景教学法的特色是言、行、情三者融为一体,其核心是激发学生的情感,以引起学生一定的态度体验,从而帮助学生理解和获取知识或技能,并使学生心理机能得到发展的方法。 情景教学法在英语教学中的作用主要体现在以下几个方面: 1、情景教学使语言更直观,贴近学生生活和思维方式,激发学生自主学习兴趣,在学习和掌握课本知识的同时,活跃课堂学习气氛,达到学以致用的目的; 2、情景教学设计的内容一般可选用课外相关内容,拓展学生的知识面,根 据不同个体的 爱好 兴趣,自主选择不同内容; 3、情景教学对英语掌握程度不同的学生创造了一个平等的语言交流的舞台。在教学过程中,很多问题的提出没有唯一的答案,可以让每个学生都得到能力发挥的机会,谈自己的观点和见解,调动学生的学习积极性。 三、初中情景教学法的策略 1、培养学习兴趣 “兴趣是一个人倾向于认识和研究某种事物的一种心理活动,是学生求知的富有生气的内动力,是学习动机中最活跃的因素。”“兴趣是最好的的老师”,只有激发学生的学习兴趣,才能提高他们的学习动机,让他们积极踊跃地参与到课堂中来,才能使课堂气氛活跃,并且提高他们 学习英语 的自信心。 据调查发现,一个学校有一半多的学生对英语不感兴趣,特别是乡村中学。为什么会出现这种情况呢?有些学生是觉得单词量太多,背了又忘,忘了又背,花了很多的时间去对付单词,可是考出的成绩又不理想,后来干脆不去背单词。 还有些学生觉得上英语课特别枯燥乏味,教师只知道满堂灌,根本不管学生接受与否,而学生只是带着耳朵来,充当一名速记员,不能参与到课堂中来。这样的课堂气氛相当沉闷,导致学生对英语失去了兴趣。因此如何让学生积极地、踊跃地参与到课堂中来呢?这时情景教学便适应这种趋势,它能使学生积极地、主动地参与到课堂中来,让学生由“要我学”,转为“我要学”,学习英语变为了一件快乐的事情。 2、创设真实情景 英语教学本身就是一个真实的情景。教师从走进教室的那一刻起,直到课堂教学结束,离开教室为止,就是一个自然的、真实的、生动的、丰富多彩的语言交际情景。因此,教师要充分利用这个英语教学的真实情景,尽量用英语组织教学,把单纯传授知识的课堂转换为使学生自然习得语言的场所,体现学生的主体性。如教师进教室时,亲切地与同学们进行如下交谈,提供给学生一个真实的语言实践的机会。T:“Hello, boys and girls.”Ss:“Hello, Miss Cai.”T:“How are you, ×××.”S1:“Fine, thank you, and you?”T:“I’m OK. What about you, ×××.”S2:“I’m not very well.”T:“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What’s the matter?”S2:“I have a cold.”T:“Oh, I think you’d better go to see the doctor after school.”S2:“OK. Thank you.”在这亲切的交谈中,教师纯正的母语式的教学和亲切的师生间的互动活动,使学生乐于用英语进行交际。 把英语课堂变成一个师生间,生生间进行交际的语言环境。在这种环境中,学生自然而然地产生了了解这种语言的欲望和用这种语言与他人交际的意识,且日积月累,学生对语言的感知也愈来愈深。又如: 八年级 上M5 Unit 1 You like western classical music ,don’t you ?先播放了一首著名的歌曲 “The Blue Danuble ”,这时学生被轻松优雅的乐曲所吸引,会唱的学生还跟着节奏轻轻的哼了起来,之后我说:We all enjoyed this music. It’s so nice and some of us can even sing,but do you know who sang this song?有些知道的学生就说Strauss. 接着教师问:Where did he come from?知道的同学争先恐后的回答,然后再播放几首曲子,问他们是属于那种类型的音乐,西方的还是传统的,各种类型音乐的特点是什么?自然而然的将学生进入了新的课程的学习。 3、进行直观情景 以图画、 简笔画 图画、简笔画与动作,进行直观情景教学,使学生眼看实物,耳听声音,这样不仅使教学具体生动,而且能激发学生的学习兴趣。如教七年级上Unit2 Topic2 Section C,上课之前,让每个同学准备好三样物品:最喜欢的体育明星的照片、国旗(图片)以及他们国家著名建筑或自然风光的图片。上完课后,让学生用这些物品两个一组进行问答,介绍中要包括句型:What’s his/her name? His/Her name is---. Where is he/she from? He/She is from ---.这样,学生不仅掌握了课堂知识,而且了解了一些课外知识,让学生对英语越来越感兴趣。 采用简笔画教学,同样能让学生对英语不厌烦。例如七年级上Unit1 Topic3 Section B,我用简笔画进行教学,在教学课程中,我边画边问,T: What’s this in English? Ss: It’s a car.或是让学生到黑板前画简笔画,并且边画边让他问。这样,不仅学生学习了日常用语,而且学到了一些简笔画的知识,培养了他们动口和动手的能力。 初中英语教师论文篇3 浅谈初中 英语阅读 课七步教学 初中英语新教材、新大纲中规定,初中英语教学要突出培养学生的运用能力,2013年中考明显增加了阅读理解的题量,初一、初二教材增加了阅读课课量。由此可见,如何提高学生的阅读能力,在课堂上如何渗透培养学生阅读能力,综合听、说、读、写训练,提高课堂教学效率,是广大英语教师努力追求的方向。 近几年来许多英语教学书籍,把培养学生阅读能力作为英语阅读课课堂教学的重要目标,在课堂教学中突出对学生学法指导,体现学生的主体地位,发挥教师的指导作用。我在多年的教学实践中,归纳出英语阅读课七步教学法,即:预学、导学、听读、设疑、复述、解难、查测。 一、预学 在教学课文前,要求学生做好 课前预习 ,借助词典、单词表或有关资料,能对 文章 内容有大概的了解,初步完成Workbook中所给出的问题,能整体把握作者的思路和文章结构,不懂的字词句让学生在预习时划出来,留到课堂上或课后解决。把这一课前预习,作为提高阅读课教学效率的第一步,不无原因,新大纲中明确要求学生要有一定的预习能力,且学生预习效果的好坏直接影响课堂教学的效率。坚持要求学生课前预习不但可以提高他们的预习能力,而且可以提高他们的听课效率。并且每篇新学课文就是一篇典型的阅读训练题,坚持预习可增强学生的阅读能力。 二、导学 在教学整篇文章前,教师把整篇文章浓缩成一段精彩的片段,把重点的词组、 句子 ,溶入其中,通过现有的教学工具,如挂图、幻灯等媒体,展现出文章的基本 故事 形象。通过教师的介绍和师生之间的双边活动,把整个故事梗概及重点的语言点呈现出来,并作适当的板书,把握课文重点,为下面进一步理解课文奠定了基础。导学是一堂课的开始,“良好的开始是成功的一半”,导学部分,教师不能忽视,教师应精心设计,引人入胜,要把学生带入特定的意境,激发学生的好奇心,激起学生的求知欲望,提高学生的听课质量。 三、听读 学生在初步感知整篇文章内容后,让学生进行听的练习,在听之前可以提一、二个问题,问题要有代表性,要让学生听完整篇文章后才能得出答案,这样既培养了学生的听力,又培养了学生的整体理解力。如果文章比较长,可以选择部分重点段落,给学生听。听完后,核对答案,朗读课文。朗读课文可视学生理解情况作不同的要求,可以是模仿性跟读,也可以是学生集体朗读或分组阅读,或个体练读。在读的过程中要做到口、眼、耳、脑同时并用,提高记忆能力。另外,还应注意语气、神态,要通过朗读做到心领神会。 四、设疑 学生听读后,已经对文章有了进一步的理解,这时要求学生默读文章,解决教师精心设计或练习册中设计的T/F判断题或问答题。在设计问题时应注意这几点:①先易后难;②先理解后拓展;③先浅后深,兼顾两头。通过设疑检查学生对文章的理解程度,了解学生是否把握文章的中心、重点。 五、复述 复述课文是阅读课课堂教学的升华,是培养学生组织语言连贯表达的重要训练手段之一,通过复述对所学文章有更深层次的理解,变文章中的语言为自己的语言。会说才会写,坚持复述,既培养了学生的理解能力,又培养了学生的口头表达能力。复述的方法多种多样,如视图复述法、列表复述法、问题连结复述法、课文概要复述法、缩扩复述法、变更复述法等,在课堂教学中应注意不断交换复述方式;多种形式混合交替使用,不让学生感到单调乏味,增强课堂教学兴趣。 六、解难 所谓解难,就是指英语课堂教学中排忧解难的过程,是强化重点,突破难点的必经之路。解难的形式大体有两种,一种是由教师提出文章中较难理解的语言点,由学生思考、讨论,然后解答;另一种是学生将预习时或经过课堂教学后还有疑惑的问题提出来,由学生提出,师生共同讨论解答。这一过程可以培养学生的思维能力,培养他们在学习中发现问题、解决问题的本领,便于教师及时发现学生在学习过程中存在的问题。在这一过程中,要充分发挥教师的指导作用,精讲精练,点拨到位,启发学生思维,节省课堂时间,扩大课堂容量,提高课堂效率。 七、查测 这一步骤主要是检查学生课堂学习的效果,了解学生掌握情况,及时反馈教学信息。查测内容一般是课文教学中的重要语言点,也可以是拓展性问题。查测形式可以是口答、也可以是笔试。用不同的方式检查学生还有哪些知识没有掌握,哪些知识没有完善需要补充或提高,进而尽量达到优化课堂教学的目的。 使用阅读课文七步教学法进行阅读学习有以下几个优点: 1.遵循“整体--部分--整体”的教学原则,可以使学生整体理解文章,保证内容的完整性、连续性。 2.能把听、说、读、写综合地运用到课堂教学中,调动学生各个器官协调活动,使之更好地学习语言。 3.把一个课时分为几个阶段教,让学生由易到难,由浅入深地阅读、理解文章,使之用脑更科学,记忆最有效。 4.各个环节,井井有条,环环相扣,相辅相成,使学生感到从语言输入到语言输出,既自然又顺理成章,从而克服畏惧心理,调动学生学习积极性,提高课堂教学效率。 5.充分体现英语实践课的特点,更好地显示学生的主体地位、教师的指导作用,改变以教代学的满堂灌局面,重视学生学习的全过程。 6.重视了学生的学法指导,培养了学生的运用能力,激发了学生学习兴趣,提高了学生的阅读能力,使之在阅读中获得无穷乐趣。 总之,英语阅读课教学方法、教学模式多种多样,教无定法,只要能在教学中充分体现学生的主体地位,发挥教师的指导作用,重视学生的学法指导,打破固定的思维模式,培养学生的阅读能力,这样的教学方法与教学模式都是值得提倡的,教师应在教学中不断地摸索,完善自己的教法,把创新观念运用于教学中,提高课堂教学效率。 猜你喜欢: 1. 初中英语教师论文 2. 初中英语教师教育论文 3. 初中英语教师工作总结及反思 4. 优秀英语教师自我总结 5. 英语教师个人发展总结

或者,看着你用毕生去看护的东西被破坏,
俯下身去,用破旧的工具把它修补;
如果你在赢得无数桂冠之后,
然后孤注一掷再博一次,
失败过后,东山再起,
不要抱怨你的失败;
如果你能迫使自己,
在别人走后,长久的坚守阵地,
在你心中已空荡荡无一物,
只有意志告诉你“坚持!”;
如果你与人交谈,能保持风度,
办王同行,能保持距离;
如果仇敌和好友都不害你;
如果所有人都指望你。却无人全心全意;
如果你花六十秒进行段程跑,
填满那不可饶恕的一分钟
你就可以拥有一个世界,
这个世界的一切都是你的,
更重要的是,孩子,你是个顶天立地的人。
个性的表露
A most curious and useful thing to realize is that one never knows the impression one is creating on otherpeople. One may often guess pretty accurately whether it is good, bad, or indifferent — some people render it unnecessary for one to guess, they practically inform one — but that is not what I mean. I mean muchmore than that. I mean that one has one's self no mental picture corresponding to the mental picture whichone's personality leaves in the minds of one's friends. Has it ever struck you that there is a mysterious individual going around, walking the streets, calling at houses for tea, chatting, laughing, grumbling, arguing, and that all your friends know him and have long since added him up and come to a definite conclusion about him — without saying more than a chance, cautious word to you; and that that person is you? Supposing that you came into a drawing room where you were having tea, do you think you would recognize yourself as an individuality? I think not. You would be apt to say to yourself as guests do when disturbed in drawing rooms by other guests: “Who's this chap? See ms rather queer. I hope he won't be a bore.” And yourfirst telling would be slightly hostile. Why, even when you meet yourself in an unsuspected mirror in the very clothes that you have put on that very day and that you know by heart, you are almost always shocked by the realization that you are you. And now and then, when you have gone to the glass to arrange your hair in the full sobriety of early morning, have you not looked on an absolute stranger, and has not that stranger piqued your curiosity? And if it is thus with precise external details of form, colour, and movement, what may it not be with the vague complex effect of the mental and moral individuality?
A man honestly tries to make a good impression. What is the result? The result merely is that his friends,in the privacy of their minds, set him down as a man who tries to make a good impression. If much depends on the result of a sing le interview, or a couple of interviews, a man may conceivably force another to accept an impression of himself which he would like to convey. But if the receiver of the impression is to have time at his disposal, then the giver of the impression may just as well sit down and put his hands in his pockets, for nothing that he can do will modify or influence in any way the impression that he will ultimately give. The real impress is, in the end, given unconsciously, not consciously; and further, it is received unconsciously, not consciously. It depends partly on both persons. And it is immutably fixed beforehand. There can be no final deception…
一件认识起来很奇异也很受益的事是,一个人常常不清楚别人对他的印象是什么。是好呢,是坏呢,还是不好不坏,这些倒是能够十分准确地猜测出来——有些人甚至没有必要让你去猜测,他们差不多就讲给你听了——但是我想要说的不是这个。我想要说的远不止这个。我想要说的是,一个人头脑中对自己的印象和他本人在他朋友们头脑中的印象,往往很不一致。你曾经想到这样的事吗?——世上有那么一个诡异的人,到处跑来跑去,上街访友,又说又笑,口出怨言,大发议论,他的朋友都对他很熟悉,对他早已知根知底,对他的看法早有定论——但除了偶尔且谨慎的只言片语外,平时却很少对你透露。而那个人就是你自己。比如,你走进一家客厅去喝茶,你敢说你便能认得这个人就是你自己吗?我看不一定。很可能,你也会像客厅里的客人那样,当你难以忍受其他客人的骚扰时心里就盘算说:“这是哪个家伙,真是怪异。但愿他少讨人嫌。”你的第一个反应就是略带敌意。甚至就连你突然在一面镜子前面遇到了你自己,穿的衣服也正是你心里记得很清楚的那天的服装,怎么样,你还是会因为认出了你是你这件事而感到吃惊。还有当你有时到镜子前去整理头发时,尽管是在最清醒的大清早时刻,你不是也好像瞥见一个完全陌生的人吗?而且这陌生人还让你颇为好奇呢。如果说连形式颜色动作这类外观准确的细节都是这样,那么对于像心智和道德这种不易把握的复杂效果又将怎样呢?
有人真心实意地去努力留下一个好印象。但结果怎样呢,不过是被他的朋友们在内心深处认为他是一个刻意给人留下好印象的人。如果一切只凭着单独会一次面或见几次面,——这个人倒很能迫使另一个人接受他本人希望造成的某种印象。但是如果接受印象的人有足够的时间来自由支配,那么印象的给予者就干脆束手静坐了,因为他的所有招数都丝毫改变不了或影响不了他最终所造成的印象。真正的印象是在结尾,是无意而不是刻意造成的。同时,它也是无意而不是刻意接受的。它的形成要靠双方,而且是事先就已经确定的,最终的欺是不可能的……
She Walks in Beautyby Lord Byron
《她在美中徜徉》,拜伦
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
她在美中徜徉,仿佛夜晚皎洁无云,繁星漫天;
And all that's best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes, thus mellowed to that tender light which heaven to gaudy day denies.
正如绝佳的暗与亮融汇于外貌与眼眸;醇化为如此柔和的光 -俗丽的白昼得不到的恩泽。
One shade the more, one ray the less, had half impaired the nameless grace which waves in every raven tress, or softly lightens o'er her face; where thoughts serenely sweet express how pure, how dear their dwelling place.
多一道阴影,少一缕光芒,都有损这难以言表的优雅。美飘扬在她丝丝乌发中,或微微闪亮于她的面庞。愉悦的思想在那里颂扬其来处何等纯净可人。
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, so soft, so calm, yet eloquent;
那脸颊和眉宇那么温柔,那么平静,而且意味深长。
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, but tell of days in goodness spent;
折服人心的微笑,红润的色彩,诉说着度过的美好时光。
A mind at peace with all below, a heart whose love is innocent!
心态平和,与世无争,爱心永远纯真。
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy.”
有这样一个故事,爸爸因为三岁的女儿浪费了一卷金色的包装纸而惩罚了她。家里很缺钱,当孩子想要用包装纸装饰一个挂在圣诞树上的盒子时,爸爸生气了。然而,第二天早上小女孩把盒子作为礼物送给了爸爸,“这是给你的,爸爸。”
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."
女儿的这个行为让爸爸感到尴尬。但是当他发现盒子是空的时候,他的怒火再一次燃烧了。他对女儿喊道,“难道你不知道给别人礼物的时候,里面应该放有东西吗?”多女孩抬头看着父亲,眼里含着泪水,“爸爸,盒子不是空的。我把吻放在了盒子里,都是给你的,爸爸。”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
爸爸感动极了,他搂住女儿,恳请她的原谅。之后不久,一场事故夺走了小女孩的`生命。据说,父亲便将那个小金盒子放在床头,一直陪伴着他的余生。无论何时他感到气馁或者遇到难办的事情,他就会打开礼盒,取出一个假想的吻,记起漂亮女儿给予了自己特殊的爱。
In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.
从一个非常真实的意义上说,我们每个人都被赠与过一个无形的金色礼盒,那里面装满了来自子女,家人,朋友及上帝无条件的爱与吻。人们所能拥有的最珍贵的礼物莫过于此了。
Youth
Youth is not a time of life; itis a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and suppleknees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of theemotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamentalpredominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over thelove of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobodygrows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is inevery human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’snext and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and myheart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you areyoung.
When your aerials are down, andyour spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, thenyou’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catchwaves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

青春
青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。
一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

Do not affect what you have not effected. Many claim exploits without the slightest claim.
奏效前不邀功最没有理由邀功的人往往最自豪。
'With the greatest coolness they makea mystery of all. Chameleons of applause they afford others a surfeit of laughter. Vanity is always objectionable, here it is despicable. These ants of honour go crawling about filching scraps of exploits. The greater your exploits the less you need affect them: content yourself with doing, leave the talking to others.
他们把什么都说得神乎其神,并且表现得若无其事;他们是一心只求别人喝彩的变色龙,徒令人捧腹大笑。虚荣心总是令人反感的。但这种情形比虚荣心还要受人鄙视。有的人为讨取功名,像蚂蚁一样四处攀爬、攒积荣誉。你纵有天大的才华,也应尽量避免虚荣。心安理得地做自己的事,不要理会别人的说法。
Give away your deeds but do not sell them. And do not hire venal pens to write down praises in the mud, to the derision of the knowing ones. Aspire rather to be a hero than merely to appear one.
功劳尽可拱手想让,万不可待价而沽。不要雇佣他人浮夸地对你进行赞美,这样违反常情的举动会惹人耻笑。与其表面上英雄气概,不如立志去拥有英雄品行。
Every one holds views according to his interest, and imagines he has abundant grounds for them.
每个人都会根据自己的利益各执己见,并列举诸多理由加以支持。
For with most men judgment has to give way to inclination. It may occur that two may meet with exactly opposite views and yet each thinks to have reason on his side, yet reason is always true to itself and never has two faces.
但大多数人的判断总是受到情感驱使。两人针锋相对,各执己见,都认为理由在自己这边,这是常有之事。但是道理有其自己的原则,绝无两张面孔。
In such a difficulty a prudent man will go to work with care, for his decision of his opponent's view may cast doubt on his own. Place yourself in such a case in the other man's place and then investigate the reasons for his opinion. You will not then condemn him or justify yourself in such a confusing way.
在这种情况下,应小心机智加以处理。有时不妨站在对方立场上,谨慎修正自己的观点,从别人的思想角度考察自己的动机。
Noble qualities make noblemen。
高贵的禀赋造就高贵的人。
A single one of them is worth more than a multitude of mediocre ones.
一项伟大的禀赋超越一群庸碌无为之辈。
There was once a man who made all his belongings, even his household utensils, as great as possible. How much more ought a great man see that the qualities of his soul are as great as possible.
有的人用什么东西都是最好的,甚至连用普通的用具都是如此。高贵的人应该力求高贵的灵魂。上帝的一切都是永恒无限无穷的.
In God all is eternal and infinite, so in a hero everything should be great and majestic, so that all his deeds, nay, all his words, should he pervaded by a transcendent majesty.
因此英雄的一切也必须是广大宏伟的,这样他的一切言辞才能显得也宏伟非凡。

高中英语议论文范文:My View on Mistakes
Mistakes are something done, said, or believed, as a result of wrong thinking or understanding, lack of knowledge or skills. No one is perfect, and no one never makes any mistakes.
Because many people are afraid of making mistakes, they don't believe, say or do much. They behave like this just because they want to make no mistake. As I said, it's impossible, Being afraid of making mistakes is a mistake through mistakes can there be discovery or progress. Making mistakes for pursuing truth is much better than doing nothing. Failure is the mother of success. Many scientists may make a great number of mistakes before they make any discovery. If we humans didn't make mistakes, we would make no progress and still live a primitive life.
Mistakes are the best teachers who guide us through difficulties. Don't let mistakes scare you. Let's learn from mistakes.
高中英语议论文范文:自律不容易
When people are in the public, they have the sense that they should not speak loudly in the public place and they should not jump the line and so on, these are rules for them, though it is not the law makes it, but the power of morality. Self-behave seems easy to do, but when the great temptation comes, self-behave will be changed quickly.
当人们身处公共场所的时候,他们意识到不应该在公共场合大声说话和不应该插队等等,这些是规则,虽然法律没有规定,但是这是道德的力量。自律看起来很容易做到,但是面对巨大的诱惑时,自律很快就会被打破。
It has been reported that in Hong Kong, a police car which was loaded with crash attracted many people to grab the money when the crash slipped down from the police car. It was such crazy, the money should be handed to the band, while on its way to the bank, people grabbed some and then left quickly. Two days later, the police found back most of the money, some people who refused to return the money were caught into the prison.
据报道,在香港,一辆装载着钱的警车,当现金从警车上滑下来的时候,吸引了很多人去抢。这是多么疯狂啊,钱本应该上交到银行,然而在运去银行的途中,人们拿走了一些,然后快速离开。两天以后,警察找回了大部分的钱,一些拒绝还钱的人被抓到,并坐牢。
Self-behave is not easy, people are easy to obey the public rules on the small issues, while when the great temptation comes, these rules are easy to be broken. The one who can refuse to the great temptation can say he is totally self-behave.
自律不容易,人们很容易遵守关于小事的公共规则,然而当面临巨大诱惑的时候,这些规则很容易就会被打破。谁能拒绝大诱惑,谁就能说他是完全的自律。
高中英语议论文范文:
Nowadays, we can see some boys and girls who live in a small world of their own. They bury themselves among books and are proud of themselves. They think that it will make them lose their face if they do housework for they often think themselves very noble.
These young people are wrong. In my opinion every student should have a knowledge of housework. After all, they will have a family of their own, and they should do their part in keeping a good home. Boys should also learn to do housework, for what will they do if they remain single? Though not all boys remain single, yet they will be very helpful in the family if they know some housework. Anyhow they will not lose anything, but, on the contrary, they will gain something useful.
For what I said above, we can find some examples of our fellow-students studying abroad. All young men do housework as girls do. Someone would argue that we can employ servants. This is true. However, what shall we do if the servant leaves us and all things are left to ourselves? We just cannot leave our clothes as they are and let worms and ants eat them up. And what can we do it we go and study in a foreign country where servants are out our means to employ?
We must work for ourselves. Why not start to learn to do housework now or else it will be too late?Everyone should learn to do housework. What do you think about my idea?

It is a long poem, telling a story in the form of ballads .The poem can be approached as a dream voyage to another realm, as a story of sin and expatiation, or as the quiet essential representation of the alienated isolated modern individual. 一、作者简介 塞缪尔·泰勒·柯尔律治(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)1772年10月21日生于英格兰西南部德文郡一个乡镇牧师的家庭。9岁丧父,被送往伦敦基督慈幼学校上学,熟读希腊、罗马文学。19岁入剑桥大学,与骚塞相识。当时两人都同情法国革命,但又都害怕革命暴力,于是设想去美洲建立乌托邦社会。计划失败后柯尔律治移居英格兰部西部湖区,致力于写诗,并与华兹华斯结成密友。他憎恶资本主义城市文明和冷酷的金钱关系,于是远离城市,隐居于昆布兰湖区,寄情山水或缅怀中世纪的宗法社会。他们创作出歌颂大自然的或美化宗法制农村生活方式的诗篇,以抵制丑恶的资本主义现实。因此被称为“湖畔派诗人”。1798年,两人合作出版著名的《抒情歌谣集》。同年他与华兹华斯兄妹到德国 留学 ,被康德的哲学和耶拿派的诗歌理论和创作所吸引。回国后继续居住于湖区,与华兹华斯保持往来。柯尔律治年青时代即患有风湿痛等多种疾病。为求镇痛他长期服食鸦片竟至上瘾,故健康大受损害。晚年他贫病交加,1834年7月25日逝世于海格特。柯尔律治的作品以真的细节描绘超自然的神秘事物,令人甘愿暂时不去考虑普通情理而信以为真,并在领略到一种怪异的美的同时获得教益或良知的觉醒。柯尔律治的创作实践和理论建设,不仅影响过他的同时代人,也影响了包括和他政治态度相左的拜伦、雪莱和济慈,而且,对于时至今日的诗歌艺术探索者,仍具有重要的借鉴价值。他在英国文学史上有重要地位,是浪漫主义思潮的重要代表。 二、《苦舟子咏》简介 《苦舟子咏》是柯尔律治唯一一部完整的长诗。这部长625行的叙事谣曲是一个神秘恐怖的浪漫故事:一名老水手对一个赴结婚宴的客人讲述了他自己的可怕的故事。客人想走开,赶快去赴宴,却为老水手眼中的特殊表情所吸引住,不得不站在那里把这个故事听完了。老水手和同伴们坐了一艘船出海去。一路上很平安。然后遇到了一阵暴风,暴风过后,这位水手却无端地射杀一只了航海者认为好运象征的信天翁。因此,厄运又降临了。船驶进静海中,那里没有风也没有浪;太阳如火如荼地照耀着。海水绿绿地满载着腐物。船停在那里不动,老水手被视为这次厄运的造因者。水手们都渴得要死去,仿佛有一只船要驶进救他们却又消失不见了。那是一只幻船,水手们一个个都死在甲板上,每个死者的眼光都注定在这位杀死信天翁的水手身上。全船的人,只有他没有死。后来,他对于自所做的恶罪觉得悔恨。于是天使们可怜他的悲苦,使死尸们站了起来,仍去做水手们的职务。他们开上了帆。虽然没有风,船却渐渐地移动。于是,这船一直驶到了老水手的故乡。一个领航者离了海岸,出来迎接。但在他到这船之前,它却突然地沉下了,留下了这位老水手在海波中与死神挣扎着。他被领航者所救。后来,他一想起那时受的言之不尽的痛苦,便不能忍。他的心在体内烧着,一直到了把这可怕的故事说了出来,方才觉得舒服。 三、分析老水手的心理历程 “自由、平等、博爱”是资产阶级道德重要规范。“自由、平等、博爱”的 口号 是资产阶级革命时期提出来的。它既是资产阶级的政治主张,又是资产阶级道德的重要内容。这一口号的提出不仅在政治上曾经起过推动历史进步的作用,而且在人类道德发展史上也是一个巨大的进步,因为它否定了人身依附关系,肯定了人身自由;否定了等级特权,肯定了人的平等;否定了把人不当人的非人道主义的博爱思想。一句话,肯定了人的尊严、价值以及个人对幸福的追求。所以,它对个性的张扬和自我意识的发展,对人们挣脱禁欲主义、蒙昧主义、等级主义的枷锁都起到了巨大的革命作用。 西方____的万物泛神论主张神无处不在,万物都是神的表象。这种主张认为:上帝就等于万事万物;任何个别事物就是上帝;世上的事物实际上都是虚无的。 在这两种思想的支配下,作者把信天翁认为是基督____徒。老水手无端地射死了信天翁,表示他拒绝社会给他的礼物,他除掉了深爱自己并代表超自然的事物,也就除掉了对这个世界的感情。老水手违反上天的指意,违反自然规律,射死了无辜的信天翁,必然要受到惩罚。于是,灾难来了:风停了,船无法前进,阳光酷热,水手们口干舌燥。这时候,有人指责老水手——“你怎敢放肆,将神鸟射死!是它引来了南风。”此时,老水手开始意识到自己行为的错误。于是,他开始不断地感到内疚。心理学认为,在道德情感系统中,羞耻感是其中的一个元素。毕达哥拉斯要求人们对自己言行进行反省以后,就应该在内心里对卑劣的行为感到羞耻、悲哀和恐惧;对善良行为感到欣喜。沙莆慈伯利认为,道德上的善恶主要取决于感情系统中的羞耻感。他说:“凡出自不公正的情感所作的,就是不义恶行和过失;如果情感公正、健全、良好,并且情感的内容有益于社会,而且还是以有益于社会方式施行,或有所感动,这就必定在任何行动中构成我们所说的公平和正直。”不义、恶行和过失将引起人们的羞耻感。羞耻感是个人的自我道德意识的一种表现,表示一个人对自己的行为、动机和道德品质的谴责时的内心体验。良心是羞耻感的的主要作用机制,常表现出焦虑、羞愧和内疚等情绪。道德焦虑是一种复合情绪。其中,痛苦和畏惧是主要构成“因子”。但它仅以避免外在处罚为目的,是低级形式的羞耻感,可又是羞耻感发生的基础。那么,羞耻感的真正作用是什么?是内疚,只有内疚才是高度的主体意识的产物,它激活潜在的思维和力量,专注与对过失的懊悔和追悔的行为,促进个体的心理成熟。如果个体内疚匮乏,那他将对道德不屑一顾,达不到“有羞知格”的认识。同时,羞耻感要以自尊为前提,一个没有自尊的人是不会知耻的,更不会自责。自尊体现了对自我社会话的切近,没有自尊的防卫,就不可能有自责的意识和行为的发生。老水手对自己的不道德行为知耻,惭愧和悔恨。老水手真是由于良心发现才深感自己行为的错误,于是惶惶终日,不断自责自己。 事态进一步发展,在他忏悔和祈祷下挂在脖子下的鸟掉下来了,但是同行的水手都因为缺水而一个个地死去,只有老水手一个人活着。这似乎是上帝对他的又一个惩罚。他一方面觉得自己的罪行深重,导致了其他水手的死亡——痛苦;另一方面在茫茫大海中,一条船上就他孤零零的一个人——恐惧。于是他的内心又经历了一场痛苦与恐惧的考验。良心是每个人自身内部的道德评析,是自己对自己行为道德价值的认识、认知、判断、态度、感情、体验、意向、意志、动机等一切心理反应活动。老水手不断对自己惊醒良心谴责。良心的基本因素是感情,感情是对需要的体验,是心理的动力因素。它一方面产生良心的认知因素,推动自己去判断自己行为的道德价值;另一方面则产生良心意志因素,推动自己做出改过迁善的选择。在行为过后,良心对行为的后果有影响和评价作用。对于履行了道德义务并产生了好后果的影响和行为,它便于进行自我谴责,使人感到内疚、惭愧和悔恨。这种自我谴责,往往能形成一种力量,促使人们改正自己的行为。 后来,老水手虔诚地祈求海蛇破开魔法,他才获救得以回家。人非圣贤,孰能无过?人生在生活中不免发生道德过失。道德反省就是通过对道德过失的追悔,从而激励人们采用新的道德行为去补救已经酿成的道德不幸,并且通过对道德过失的觉醒为将要开始的道德行为提供罗盘。道德反省的实质在于主体对自己已作的道德选择进行批判性的分析,是在主体已经体验到自己的道德行为存在着过失的情况下,从而进行的对自己内心的深刻 反思 。通过反思,要为今后的行为提供新的路线和方案,明白来者可追,逝者可补。在今后的行动过程中,要用千倍的补偿替代原有的损失;通过反思,主体对自我发展和自我需要与社会道德的系统会领悟得更加深刻。 故事的最后,老水手回到了家。于是出现了开篇的那一幕:他极力拉住去赴婚宴的人,让他们听他讲这个离奇的故事——他想寻找听众,承认自己的错误,说出自己的故事,解除内心的痛苦——赎罪。尽管老水手已经虔诚忏悔,但还是有种负罪感难以释怀,于是他渴望被人理解,宣泄出来以排除内心的痛苦。生活也是这样,当我们遇到困难、痛苦的时候,不要封闭自己,找一个忠实的听众,把自己的苦恼说给他听。这是一种释放压力的好 方法 。 总之,柯尔律治的这首诗歌以神秘、怪诞著称,其中的心理描写可谓是典范!诗歌探讨了罪与罚、善与恶,生与死等哲学问题,宣传了一切生物皆上帝听造的教义。但诗歌的真正价值并不在故事本身或它所包含的哲理上,而在以造型艺术的精确性和音乐的流动感为读者创造了一幅幅神奇的海洋画面:时而风平浪静,沉寂安宁;时而风暴骤起,一片喧嚣。在写作此诗时,柯尔律治并不熟悉大海,但他能凭借想象,使真实的情形与幻想的景象互相交织,把平凡的细节与诗意的象征融为一体,充分显示了瑰丽奇特的想象能力。在诗艺上,长诗将英国民歌的自由与古典文人诗的谨严冶于一炉,炼就出适合表达浪漫主义情绪的活泼自然的诗体,而长诗的音韵与节奏之美,也表现了诗人能让文字进行歌唱的本领。

学的数字世界里,它的功能是计算,秩序严谨,职司分明,是 实数;而在人类 心灵的数字世界中,它的功能是表义,许多数字经过“神化”后成为“玄数”、 “虚数”、“ 天数"。它们有着极其丰富的外延和内涵。"(王秉钦,1998) 由于受东西方文化传统、宗教信仰、语言崇拜、地理环境等方面的影响,数 字的神化存在着东西方的差异 ,但也存在着共性,有着共同的规律。在"数的 灵物崇拜"上各民族都有普通性。东方人有自己心目中的"天 数",而西方人 也有自己心目中的"神数"。神秘数字的演化规律一般经过"神化—泛化—虚 化"的过程。( 王秉钦,1998) 东西方已有不少有关数字科学的专著和论文, 如毕达哥拉斯(phythagoras) 学派的T·丹齐克的《数 科学语言》(商务印书馆,1998),英国人伦拉德·法 拉的《七的探源》;国内也有不少学者就数字写过著作 和论文,并开展过学术探 讨。如,王秉钦教授在其《语言与翻译新论》的中篇第六章就以"数的语义范围 比较 与翻译"为专题;苏金智曾写过《数的灵物崇拜》(载〈语言、社会、文化》 440页, 语文出版社,1991,1) 等。在1998 年南昌大学主办的"中国英汉语 比较研究会第二届年会暨第三次学术研讨会"上,英汉文化对比专 业委员会会 员曾就中南工业大学外语学院吴玲英老师的《中西文学中"以三为法”的文化模 式》展开了激烈的 讨论。本人认为东方人,尤其是中国人,自己心目中的天数 是"九"而不是"三",也并非完全是因为"九" 是"三"的倍数。 二、东西方数字"九"的文化对比分析 在我国,人们之所以把"九"看成是自己心目中的"天数"和最富有神奇色 彩的数字, 是因为"九" 这个数字的象征意义(symbolicmeaning),在我国可 以说历时最久,涉及面也最广。 "九"作为数不同于一 般数字,在中国古代被 认为是一种神秘的数字,它起初是龙形(或蛇形)图腾化之文字,继而演化出"神 圣" 之意,于是中国古代历代帝王为了表示自己神圣的权力为天赐神赋,便竭 力把自己同“九”联系在一起。如天 分九层,极言其高,天证/诞日为正月初 九,天子祭天一年九次。更有趣的是连皇宫建筑都与"九"有关。例 如,北京 城有九门,天安门城楼面阔九问,门上饰有九路钉(即每扇门的门钉纵横各九排)。 汉语词汇中也常 用"九"来形容帝王将相的称谓,如"九五之尊"(imperial throne);称官位仅次于皇帝的王爷为"九千岁 "等。 根据阴阳五行与数的关系,万物之根均为数,宇宙也是数。数始于1而终于 10,五行也是数,按传统的五行 理论来划分,则1、2为木:1为阳木,2为阴 木。以3、4为火:3为阳火,4为阴火。以5、6为土:5为阳土,6为 阴土。 以7、8为金:7为阳金,8为阴金。以9、10为水:9 为阳水,10为阴水。这 就是将"象"、"数"与五行 结合起来推演变化,用以显示事物发展变化的内 在联系。由此看来,"九"是最大的阳数,象征着天。 传说 古 代中国人把天分 为九层,九层天是天的最高处,汉语中有关词汇有"九重霄"(指极高的天空, "九霄云外" ,"九天揽月","九天九地"等。另外,天坛,这个明清两代 祭天的场所,其建筑无处不体现着“九”的象 征意义。 民间传说中还有"九头 鸟"(nine-headed bird: a fabulous bird whose appearance was f ormerlyregarded as a bad omcn)的故事。 中国人以"九"为大数,刘师培在《古书疑义举例补》一书中写道:"凡数 指其极者,皆得称之为'九' ;"《素问》中说:"天地之数,始于一,终于 九。"因此,汉语中有"九九归一"或"九九归原"之说。因 从"九"为数之 极而引出人生之限,故"明九"或"暗九"均为人生之"坎",避讳有“九”之 岁。例如:“ 老太太因明年八十一岁,是个暗九。"(《红楼梦》)。日本人一般 认为"九"是"苦命和痛苦"的象征,因 为"九"与"苦"同音,因此忌讳 "九"。然而,《外语与外语教学》曾报道过国内一位学者曾为考证这一点 ,采 用"全选法"将日本某地电话号码其中的几千个姓和名分别进行统计,结果发现 将"九"作为姓的只占极 少数(约占),而将"九"作为名的却不少(约 占35%)。看来,日本人忌讳"九"也并非绝对。 此外,《词源》中说:"九:虚指多数。""九"作虚数解时,是数的一种 语义模糊现象。《现代汉语词 典》中,"九"的意思有三个:(1)数目,八加一 后所得;(2)从 冬至 起每九天是一个"九",从一"九" 数起,二"九"、三 "九",一直数到九"九"为止。冬练三九,夏练三伏;(3)表示多数或多次: 九泉,三 弯九转等。因此, 汉语中有不少和"九"有关的 成语 。如:"九牛一 毛"、"九死一生"、"九牛二虎之力" 、"九流宾客"等等。 在我国,数字"九"涉及面在所有数字中最广。含有数字"九"的词汇也十 分丰富。如,"九州"是指传 说中的我国上古行政区划,后用作"中国"的代 称。因此,有的全国性的电视节目就取名为“九州方圆”;“ 九族"(the nine degrees of kindred: either thenine generations from one's great-great-gr andfather down toone's great-great-grandson;or four generations of one'spatemal relations, three generations of one's matemalrelations, and two generations of noe's wife's relatio ns),古代有一种残酷的刑法叫"诛灭九族";古代传说 "龙生九子,各有所好"。因此,《红楼梦》第九回 中用"一龙生九种,种种各 别"来比喻贾氏家族族大人多,龙蛇混杂,好坏不一,各种各样的人都有。还有 " 九龙杯"等。此外,在文娱、体育等词汇中,数字"九"也比比皆是。如, 许多歌名都以"九"开头:"九妹 "、"九九艳阳天"、"九百九十九朵玫瑰" 等;乐器中也有"九音锣";在体育活动中,"九柱戏"(nine pins),兵器中 有"九节鞭"[但这与西方文化中的"九尾鞭”(cat-o '-nine- tails: an instrurnent of punishment so calledfrom the nine pieces of leather or cord which compose it)意义不大一样]。 地名中也有一些以"九"开头的,如"九 寨沟"、"九华山"、"九江"和"九龙"等。此外,中国人常把" 九"看成 为吉祥数字之一。在申请电话号码时,人们宁愿多出 钱去买一个尾数为"8"或 "9"的吉祥号码。比 如,湖南有线电视台的"欢乐热线"号码为"16899919"。 在西方,数字"九"也是人们心目中的"神数"之一。对西方人来说, "九"的象征意义是"神性"、 "神圣之至"。 英语权威字典Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary and Webster's ThirdIntema tional Dictionary 中 对"九"所解释的意义比《现代汉语词典》所解释的意义还多,分别有: 1)one more than eight, three threes, the square of three;2) nine units of objects (a tota l of nine) ; 3) a: thenumerable quantity symbolized by the arabic numeral 9; b: thefigure 9 ; 4) nine o'clock——compared Bell table, timeillustration; 5) the ninth size in a set series: as a; aplaying team of nine members, baseball team; b:the firstor last 9 hol es of an 18-hole golf course…。 其中收入与"九"有关词语和成语多达近二十条。常用的有: a nine-day's wonder (an object or event that creates ashort-lived sensation) ____Those political expositions…that make a nine day'snine wonder till something fresh c omes alone——Mary Deasy. nine times out of ten(very often) be dressed up to the nines(elaborately dressed, as for aformal occasion) ____She dressed herself up to the nines and went to theparty. in the nineholes:in the difficult situation nine-men's morris: morris played with nine counters A cat has nine lives: A cat can move so fast and jump sowell that he seems to escape being killed many times. 从以上的解释还可以发现一个规律:数字"九"及其倍数在西方也被广泛运 用于文娱和体育活动中。如, 保龄球(bowling )中的瓶状木柱数(ninepins) 为"九"; 高尔夫球 球场有一十八个洞:跳子棋的棋板上各 方均为九个孔; 古 时英国还有一种九个男人一起跳的舞蹈(morrisdance)等。由此看来,数字"九" 也倍 受西方人的青睐。 总之,在东西方文化中,数字"九"含有以下主要共性: 1)东西方大多数人把数字"九"看成神秘的数字, 其象征意义均有"神 圣"之意。 2)在东西方文化中,数字"九"均可虚指多数。 3)数字"九"被广泛运用于文体项目中。 数字“九”在东西方文化中的个性恐怕主要在于:对中国人来说,其神奇色 彩要比西方人更浓;其象征意 义的历史在东方文化中比西方文化中更悠久;其 涉及面在东方文化中比西方文化中更广泛。 三、数字"九"的翻译问题 罗马西塞罗说过:"翻译不是字当句对,而是保留语言的总风格和力 量。""按分量而不是按数量译词" 。此处所说的数字是指经过神化、泛化、 虚化了的"虚数","实数"的翻译不在此例。根据这一理论,结合 东西方文 化的共性与个性,可采用如下的翻译方法,并遵循以下的翻译原则。 可采取的翻译方法主要有: (一)保留原数字 . We thought our cat would be killed when he fell fromthe roof of the house. He was not, he used up one of his ninelives. 我们以为我们的猫从屋顶掉下来会死了,它并没死,只失掉九条命中的一条。 这样翻译过来,人们很容易接受,因为人们已熟悉"猫有九命"这个成语, 并能够促进东西方文化的融合 。 (二)转换成各民族喜爱的数字 out of ten——十之八九 nine days' wonder———可翻译为"昙花一现", 这样翻译可以加深对奈 达的"对等"和纽马克的"转 换"翻译理论的理解。 (三)增舍数字 比如,"九死一生"可翻译成"a narrow escape from death;survival after many hazards";又如 ,"九九归一,还是他说的话对。"可翻译成"All things considered,what he says is right."其译文均 舍弃了数字,转译其 形象意义。 应遵循的原则主要有: (一)民族性原则 比如,汉语中的"费了九牛二虎之力",《汉英词典》(外研社,1996)的译 文有三个:"strain onese lf to the limit; use everyounce of one's strength; make herculean efforts"。笔者认为第二种译文 "use every ounce of one's strength "更符合"民族性原则”,成功地将东方文化中该成语的比喻意义转 化成了西方文化语言中的形象意义。 (二)习语性原则 比如:"匡超人此时恍若亲见瑶宫仙子,月下嫦娥,那魂灵都飘到九霄云外 去了。"(《儒林外史》), 其译文为"Kuang felt that he was gazing at a goddess and his spirit had flown to heaven."这种译 文因遵循了"习语性原则", 充分地体现了人类交际行为的一个最根本原则——语言——符号的经济原则。 (三)形象性原则 数字用于模糊意义时,一般都失去了其数量意义而具有形象意义。翻译时, 必须越出其理性意义而捕捉其 与 其它 的词结合后所产生的形象意义。 比如:"飞流直下三千尽,疑是银河落九天(李白)。"此句诗中的"九天" 的形象意义为"极高的天空 ",因此,可翻译成"Down itcascades a sheer three thousand feet—As if the Silver River [. the Milky. Way]were falling from heaven!"猜你喜欢: 1. 毕业英语论文范文 2. 英美文学毕业论文优秀范文 3. 商务英语专业毕业论文范文 4. 大学英语毕业论文范文 5. 英语专业论文范文 6. 本科英语专业论文范文
阅读虽然不是一种直接的交际,但在本质上也是一种语言交际活动。下面就是我给大家整理的短篇 英语阅读 文章 ,希望大家喜欢。短篇英语阅读文章:You are special A well-know speaker started on his seminar(研讨会) by holding up a $20 bill in the room of 200. He asked,who would like this $20 bill. Hands started going up. He said, "I'm going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple(弄皱) the $20 note up. He then asked, "who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground, and started to ground into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now, crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson no matter what I did to the money, you still want it. Because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make, and circumstances that come away. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what happened, or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finally creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worst of your lives comes not in what we do, or who we know, but by who we are. You are special. Don't ever forget it. 短篇英语阅读文章:Love your mother Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother! Your mother will be there for you, to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself "Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her 'blues' of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?" Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her. 短篇英语阅读文章:Mum and growing days Those Teenage Years When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the different movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in a row. When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until she left the house. When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she had no taste. When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, she came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 16, she taught you how to drive her car. You thanked her by taking it every chance you could. When you were 17, she was expecting an important call. You thanked her by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation. You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn. When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, "It's none of your business."

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
皮卡迪利大街附近的一条著名拱廊街道上,几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候,拱廊街上几乎空无一人。珠宝店主泰勒先生正在欣赏新布置的橱窗。他手下两名店员从早上8点就开始忙碌,这时刚刚布置完毕。钻石项链、戒指漂亮地陈列在黑色丝绒上面。泰勒先生站在橱窗外凝神欣赏了几分钟就回到了店里。
宁静突然被打破,一辆大轿车亮着前灯,响着喇叭,呼啸着冲进了拱廊街,在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上,另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗的玻璃砸碎。这开始发生时,泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外投掷家具,椅子,桌子飞落花流水在拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的雕像击中,但由于他忙着抢钻石首饰,竟连疼痛都顾不上了。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟,因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车,以惊人的速度开跑了。就在轿车离开的时候,泰勒先生从店里冲了出来,跟在车后追赶,一边还往车上扔烟灰缸、花瓶。但他已无法抓住那些窃贼了。他们已带着价值数千镑的首饰逃之夭夭了。
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!
昨天下午弗兰克·霍金斯向我讲述了他年轻时的经历。在他退休之前,弗兰克是一家非常大的事务公司头,但作为一个男孩,他曾经工作在一个小商店。他的工作是修理自行车,那时他一天工作十四小时。他积蓄多年,并在1958他买了属于自己的小作坊。在他二十几岁的弗兰克曾生产飞机零配件。那时他有两个帮手。在几年的小作坊已经成为一个雇用七百二十八人的大工厂。弗兰克回想着他早年的艰难经历和走过的漫长的成功之路。他正笑着的时候,门开了,他的妻子走了进来。她叫他去修理他们孙子的自行车!
Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
英语短篇散文如下:
1、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 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.
2、Outside the sun-sloshed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the 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.
3、Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, all in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, every day.
4、even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing, for the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.

Sometimes we think of dreams as fantasies - it's easy to do when you have money, rent, and work. But you can't prepare yourself and jump off the cliff: you should grow your wings first. A little bit toward the dream. Step by step. Take a step forward. After all, it's your mission.
有时,我们把梦想看成是幻想——当有钱、有租金、有工作时很容易去做。但是,你也不能不加准备及跳下悬崖:你该先长出自己的翅膀。一点点的朝梦想靠近。一步一步的往前走。往前迈一步吧。毕竟,这是你的使命。

You ride in automobiles, trains, buses, taxis and elevators. You have electric vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, TV sets, tape recorders, video recorders and other things. All these conveniences and tools help us live better and also cause accidents. 你在蓝天中自由翱翔,在碧波上乘风破浪,在大地上风驰电擎.你驾驶汽车,乘坐火车、公共汽车、出租车和自动升降机。你骑自行车、摩托车和使用自动扶梯等。你使用真空吸尘器、电冰箱、录音机、录像机,还有其他许多设备。所有这些设备和工具都使我们生活更轻松,更舒适,但是,它们也引发了许多事故。 Hundreds and thousands of people are killed by a variety of accidents every year. Accidents don’t just happen, they are caused by many factors. Lack of knowledge, thoughtlessness, carelessness. 每年都有成百上千的人因各种事故而丧失生命。事故并不只简单的发展而已,它们是由许多原因造成的。愚昧无知,心不在焉、毛手毛脚等都是造成事故的原因之一。 You must develop safe habits and safe practices if you are to live with reasonable safety in the modem world. 如果你打算在现代化的世界上生活得更安全。养成重视安全和安全操作的习惯是完全必修的。 唯美的英语美文短文篇2 祈祷A Prayer The supreme desire of my heart is not to be learned, rich, famous, powerful or “good”, but simply to be radiant1. I want to radiate health, cheer, calm, courage and good will. 我内心最大的愿望并不是变得博学、富有、声名远扬、强大或“好”,我仅仅是想要光芒四射地“活起来”。我渴望散发出健康、愉悦、冷静、勇气和良好意愿的气息。 I wish to live without hate, jealousy, envy and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected —ready to say “I don’t know” if in fact I don’t, to meet all men in terms of absolute equality and to feel unafraid of any obstacle. 我希望远离仇恨、妒羡、忌妒和恐惧。我想要活得简单、正直、坦率、淳朴、身心洁净、不加矫饰 —— 当我不知道某些事时,我会说“我不知道”,而不是假装知道;我想要对所有人都一视同仁,而当我面对任何困难时,我都会变得无所畏惧。 I wish others to live their lives, too, to their highest, fullest and best. To that end I pray that I may never interfere, dictate, give unwanted advice, or assist when my services are not needed.

That is to say, I desire to be radiant — to radiate life. 我希望其他人也能“活起来”,过上他们最极致、最充实、最完满的生活。为此,我企盼自己不要去干涉、支配、提出不必要的建议或提供并不需要的协助。如果我能帮助他人,我所做的就是给他们一个自助的机会;如果可以,我会通过事例、推理和建议,而不是通过命令或断言来振奋或启发他们。也就是说,我渴望能够“活起来”,渴望一个“活的”人生。 唯美的英语美文短文篇3 耐心的定义 Not everybody has patience. For some of us it is a process, meaning that it takes time to develop. 并非每个人都有耐心。对我们中的有些人来说,耐心是一个过程,也就是说它需要时间去培养。 But for all of us patience is a virtue1, meaning that it accompanies excellence and goodness.

The more patience you have, the more you believe; and the more you believe, the more faith you have. 但对所有人而言,耐心都是一种美德,它与卓越和善良相伴。有耐心也指等待或情愿等待,这孕育出耐力和信念。当你能够为某事而等待,无论它花费多长时间,那么你便拥有了耐心。你越有耐心,就愈发相信;你越相信,就拥有越多的信念。 When one is going through something, no matter what, patience is always the key. Being patient helps one endure2 hardships, pain and other difficulties. Developing patience in any situation helps one stay calm, while directing one’s attention to possible solutions to the problem. Patience is hard for most people, but most of us need to learn it. 当一个人正有所经历,无论是什么事,耐心总是关键。有耐心能够帮你忍受艰难、痛苦和其他的困难。在任何情况下都拥有耐心能帮你保持镇静,引导你把注意力放到那些可能的解决之道上。对大多数人而言拥有耐心很难,但我们仍需学会它。 Whenever you’re going through difficulties, do your best to stay patient. Patience, faith, endurance, love and perseverance all go together. Don’t let anyone make you lose your patience. Stand up for it. It’s yours. 无论何时当你正遭受困境,竭尽全力去保持耐心。耐心、信念、忍耐、爱和坚持不懈总是相辅相成。不要让任何人令你失去耐心。维护它。它是你的!
