【MODULE 4】Which English?
【READING AND VOCABULAYR】
Which English?
When you receive a phone call from a friend, how long does it take you to know who it is? A few seconds, perhaps.The quality of someone`s voice and their choice of words make a person instantly recognizable, even though you can`t see him or her.In this sense everybody`s use of language——whether English, Chinese, or any other——is different.You could say that there are as many varieties of English, or any other language for that matter, as there are speakers of it.English is spoken as an official language in more than 60 countries across the world and it can sound very different from place to place.Pronunciation, as well as grammar and vocabulary, can change very quickly from one area to another.For example, within London the most famous dialect is cockney.It is only usually spoken by people from the east of that city so it is not the only form of English you will hear.You can usually tell which part of the English-speaking world someone comes from by their accent, and there are some very recognisable accents all over Britain.It is also quite easy to tell British and American English apart.Although most people believe there is a right and a wrong way to speak English, there is not really a standard form that everyone can agree on.English spread across the world over hundreds of years because of trade, exploration and business, and this process produced many different Englishes.Professors of linguistics, writers and teachers all worry about providing a perfect model to follow but as it is so widely spoken, it has become impossible to say which English is “correct” and which is
“incorrect”.Perhaps correctness doesn`t matter——as long as speakers can understand each other——it`s communication that counts.[Australia]
G`day!D`ya speak Strine? Or rather, Hello!Do you speak Australian? Australia is one of the youngest nations in the world.The first English speakers arrived little more than 200years ago——and they didn`t want to.Most of them were prisoners sent there to work.They came from all over Britain, but especially from Northern Ireland and the London area, which is why the Australian accent today has traces of both Irish and cockney speech patterns.The English speakers found a people who had been living in Australia for more than 50,000 years——the Aborigines, and an
extraordinary variety of wildlife, unique to the continent.Many of the
Aboriginal words for these animals, such as kangaroo, koala and kookaburra soon passed into the language.But the main differences between Australian English and other intonation patterns.Sometimes it is difficult for British and American people to understand the Australian accent, and mistakes are common.A few years ago a well-known English author was signing copies of his books in a
Sydney bookshop.A customer came up to the author holding a copy of the book and said Emma Chissit.The author thought that Emma Chissit was the woman`s name.But when he asked how to spell the name, in case the
customer wanted him to write her name in the book(To Emma Chissit ,with best wishes), he realized that the customer had been asking the question: How much is it?
[Jamaica and Singapore]
Australian English comes directly from English spoken in Britain.But in other countries where English is spoken as a first language this is not the case.The variety of English spoken in Jamaica, and other Caribbean countries, has some of the grammatical features of the African languages spoken by the ancestors of the Jamaican people, so that there is often no apostrophes(`s)(that woman house, instead of that woman`s house)or no link verb or article(He good man, instead of He`s a good man).Another feature is the rhythm.It is the rhythm of rap music, which became popular in the US in the 1980s.On the other side of the world, in Singapore, English is a second language, spoken by about half the population.Other languages include Malay and Chinese.Almost everyone in Singapore is bilingual, while some people speak three or four languages.The most common variety of English spoken is known as Singlish.Sentences in Singlish often end with the world lah.The variety has been influenced in particular by Malay and the Chinese dialect Hokkien(language spoken in Minnan), both in grammatical features and vocabulary.Today there is a debate in Singapore about which variety of English is the best: Singlish, or a variety closer to British English, which is the aim of the Speak Good English Movement created in 1999.【READING AND VOCABULARY】
The Future of English
Ever since the invention of the first telegraph at the end of the 19th century, English has been spreading around the world.It has a power influence in the media, on the Internet and in pop music that is not going to go away.This communication revolution has turner the world into a “global village” in which everyone needs to talk to each other—and so often nowadays that means in English.More people now speak English as a second language across the world than as a native language.It is estimated that 1.3 billion people will use English as either a first or a second language by 2050.But what will that form of English be like? Traditionally, British English has been taught across the world, but it is only one variety.Experts believe that the future shape and grammar of English, especially in its spoken form, will no longer be determined in the traditional English-speaking countries like Britain and America but in the rest of Europe, Asia and Africa.International organizations and businesses communicate with each other in English.But a new pattern of using English is developing that does not look the same to native speakers as “traditional” English.Researchers are now investigating “non-native” English which is a new form of the language with changes in grammar, pronunciation and meaning.Often meanings and words from other languages find their way into English to produce a new dialect such as “Franglais” which combines aspects of French and English.You could say this gives English a French flavour.All of those processes are a form of natural evolution.New dialects acquire their own complex features until they become real languages in their own right.Experts are convinced that this will happen in the future as more and more people learn English and call it their own.【READING PRACTICE】
Colourful English
English has a huge number of colourful and splendid expressions which may be difficult to understand.Even if the meaning of the words is
straightforward, the cultural associations of the phrase may be ambiguous.The dilemma is to know which are explicit, which are figurative, and why they are relevant to an everyday situation.Idioms are picturesque or absurd expressions conveying a concept which is different from the literal meaning and have been common in English for many years.The Pilgrim Fathers in America always asked for turkeys when they traded with Native Americans.Thus, to talk turkey means to get down to business.But some idioms are very new and you`ll need to clarify what they mean.For example, man as a box of frogs is a recent way of describing someone who has a tendency to be rather disorganized or vague.A bad hair day is one when you fell clumsy or depressed, possibly because your hair doesn`t look good.Many expressions are advertising slogans.That`ll do nicely, sir!comes from an old TV ad for American Express.It`s the shop assistant`s reply to a customer who selects a credit card from his wallet and asks if the shop accepts American Express.Other common expressions have metaphorical significance.Get your tanks off lawn!means Back off!Withdraw your threats!and was first said by a British prime minister, rejecting the threat of a potential strike by a trade union leader.Age before beauty is used when inviting another person to go through a door before you.It`s not meant to abuse the other person, but it may sometimes cause offence.The Iron Curtain was the statesman Winston Churchill`s term for the diving line between eastern and western Europe.With friends like these, who needs enemies? means a friend has betrayed your trust or let you down.We shall overcome dates from the American Civil Rights movement in the USA, meaning we will oppose prejudice against black people and resist conflict between Americans.Finally, there are traditional proverbs which express a moral or piece of advice.For example, when in Rome, do as the Romans do suggests you should adapt to local conditions.Some sayings have achieved the superior status of a proverb such as Money makes the world go around from the
musical Cabaret(1996).This comes from the older proverb Love makes the world go round.【CULTURAL CORNER】
Chinese as a Foreign Language
Who wants to learn Chinese? Just about everybody in the world, it seems.The demand for Chinese as a foreign language is growing fast, both in English-speaking countries like France, where the number of students studying Chinese has increased by 15% each year in recent years.There are a number of reasons for the interest.As China develops
economically, opportunities for doing business increase dramatically——and if you know your partner`s language, your chances of success increase.But there is also a renewed interest in the culture and traditions of China;the fact that Chinese culture has continued uninterrupted for more than 5,000 years is a source of curiosity and fascination for people in other parts of the world.A third reason is that learning Chinese is, simply, a challenge.With its characters and complicated tone system, most speakers of other languages think Chinese must be the incredibly difficult.But is it really so? As one American students says, “The biggest problem about learning Chinese is often fear——sometimes caused by the teachers.I`ve studied quite a few languages, and none of them are as easy for me as Chinese.The grammar is easy, since sentence order is similar to English——but simper.The only difficult part of spoken Chinese is the tone system.Even that isn`t a big problem.I remember the first time I heard a native of Beijing speaking, it was so clear!”
With so much interest in the language ,the Chinese government introduced an international exam system.Established in 1990,the HSK test was initially meant for those learners who regard Chinese as a second or foreign language.Later, it was introduced abroad.At the moment, there are more than 100 exam centres in 27
countries around the world, with nearly 15,000 candidates taking the exam every year.And a spin-off of this is that teaching Chinese as a foreign language offers young Chinese language graduates interesting professional opportunities——and a chance to travel across the world.

MODULE 5Great People and Great Inventions of Ancient China中國古代的偉大人物及其發(fā)明
Philosophers of Ancient China中國古代的哲學(xué)家
Ancient China was a place where states were often at war with each other.But it was also a time when there were many great philosophers.Confucius(551BC-479BC)is the philosopher whose influence has been the greatest.古代中國各諸侯國之間經(jīng)常發(fā)生戰(zhàn)爭。但那也是一個產(chǎn)生了許多哲學(xué)家的時期。孔子（公元前551--公元前479）是影響最大的哲學(xué)家。
He stressed the importance of kindness, duty and order in society.Chinese society was influenced by these ideas for more than 2,000 years.他強(qiáng)調(diào)了仁愛、責(zé)任和社會秩序的重要性。中國社會受孔子學(xué)說的影響已長達(dá)兩千多年。
Mencius was a thinker whose teachings were very similar to those of Confucius.Mencius was born in 372 BC.孟子是一位思想家，他的理論和孔子的理論很相似。孟子生于公元前372年，His father died when he was young, and he was brought up by his mother.He became a student of Confucius's ideas, and was then given an important position in the government of a state.自小就喪父，他母親把他撫養(yǎng)成人。他成為儒家弟子，并在一個國家政府謀得很重要的職位。
However, when he saw that the ruler was not following his advice, he resigned.For many years he travelled from state to state, teaching the principles of Confucius.He then became an adviser to another ruler.但是當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)統(tǒng)治者并不聽從他的建議時，他辭職了。好幾年的時間，他周游列國，宣揚(yáng)儒家學(xué)說。然后他又成為了另一個統(tǒng)治者的顧問。
He spent his last years preparing a book of his teachings called The Book of Mencius.他晚年一直在準(zhǔn)備記載他自己學(xué)說的書《孟子》。
Mencius believed that the reason why man is different from animals is that man is good.孟子認(rèn)為人區(qū)別于動物的本質(zhì)就是人是性善的。
He taught that if the government was kind, then people would be good.He believed that people were more important than rulers, and hated the state when it treated people badly.他主張“仁政”、“王道”，提倡“民為重，君為輕”，反對暴政。
Mozi was another teacher who was very influential.Born in 476 BC, he came from a family which was very poor.墨子是又一位極具影響力的先哲。墨子于公元前476年出生于一個貧苦家庭。
He became famous for his unusual clothes and behaviour.Mozi founded the philosophy called Mohism.他因為不同尋常的服裝和行為舉止而出名。墨子創(chuàng)立了墨家學(xué)派，In some ways, his beliefs were similar to those of Confucius.For example, he considered that government was most important.As a result, he spent many years trying to find a state where people would follow his teachings.他的理論在某些方面和孔子的理論相似。例如，他認(rèn)為統(tǒng)治非常重要，因此他花了好多年努力尋找一個人們愿意聽從他的理論的國家。
Mozi believed that all men were equal.His idea of love was different from the Confucian idea of kindness.墨子認(rèn)為人人都是平等的，他主張的“兼愛”與孔子的“仁愛”不同。
Mozi taught that we should love all human beings and look after those who are weaker than ourselves.He hated the idea of war.Mozi died in 390 BC.墨子認(rèn)為我們必須愛護(hù)所有的人，照顧比我們?nèi)跣〉娜?。墨子反對統(tǒng)治者發(fā)動的侵略戰(zhàn)爭。墨子逝世于公元前390年。

MODULE 4 Sandstorms in Asia亞洲沙塵暴
Sandstorms in Asia亞洲沙塵暴
Sandstorms have been a major disaster for many Asian countries for centuries.幾個世紀(jì)以來，沙塵暴已經(jīng)成為很多亞洲國家的嚴(yán)重災(zāi)害。
Scientists have tried many ways to solve this problem and in China, a mass campaign has been started to help solve it.科學(xué)家已經(jīng)想了很多辦法來解決這個問題，在中國，已經(jīng)開展了一場幫助解決沙塵暴問題的大型戰(zhàn)爭。
Sandstorms are strong, dry winds that carry sand.They are often so thick that you cannot see the sun, and the wind is sometimes strong enough to move sand dunes.沙塵暴是帶有沙石和塵土的強(qiáng)大而干燥的風(fēng)。沙塵暴通常很濃密以至于人們都看不見太陽，有時候，風(fēng)的強(qiáng)度大到可以掀動沙丘。
The four main places in the world where there are sandstorms are Central Asia, North America, Central Africa and Australia.Ren Jianbo, from Inner Mongolia described a terrible sandstorm he experienced as a child in the desert.世界上四個主要的有沙塵暴的地方是：亞洲中部、北美、非洲中部和澳大利亞。來自內(nèi)蒙古的任建波描述了他小時候在沙漠中經(jīng)歷過的一次嚴(yán)重的沙塵暴，“To have been caught in a sandstorm was a terrible experience,” he said.“There was nothing to be done.“被困在沙塵暴中是一種很可怕的經(jīng)歷，”他說，“什么也干不了, It was the most frightening and the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in.You just had to hope you'd survive.I thought I was going to disappear under the sand.” 那是我遭遇過的最可怕、最危險的境況，你只能希望自己能夠幸存，我原以為我會消失在沙石底下?！?/p>
Northwest China is part of the sandstorm centre in Central Asia.Sandstorms begin in desert areas.中國西北是亞洲中央沙塵暴中心的一部分。沙塵暴開始于沙漠地帶，Sandstorms in China appear to have increased in recent years as a result of “desertification”.近年來因為“沙漠化”，中國發(fā)生沙塵暴的次數(shù)明顯增加了。
This is a process that happens when land becomes desert because of climate changes and because people cut down trees and dig up grass.這是發(fā)生在由于氣候變化以及人們砍伐樹木、開墾草地等使得陸地變成沙漠時的過程。
Sandstorms sometimes affect Beijing.Citizens wake up to an orange sky and strong winds that cover the city in a thick, brown-yellow dust.有時候沙塵暴會影響北京，市民醒來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)昏黃的天空，狂風(fēng)夾著黃沙在城里肆虐。
The storms sometimes continue all day and traffic moves very slowly because the thick dust makes it difficult to see.暴風(fēng)有時持續(xù)一整天，因為濃密的塵土降低了能見度，所以車輛等開得很慢。
The Chinese Central Weather Station can forecast a sandstorm some weeks before it arrives in Beijing, but the strength of the storm sometimes surprises people.中國中央氣象臺在沙塵暴到達(dá)北京前的幾個星期就能預(yù)見到，但是風(fēng)暴的威力有時是驚人的。
When a sandstorm arrives in the city, weather experts advise people not to go out.Huang Xiaomei, who lives in Beijing says, 當(dāng)沙塵暴到達(dá)一個城市時，專家會建議人們不要出門。居住在北京的黃小梅說；
“To be cycling in a sandstorm is frightening.The winds are very strong.It's difficult to breathe and the dust makes me ill.So if you want to go out, you'd better wear a mask.”
“在沙塵暴中騎車是很可怕的，風(fēng)力非常強(qiáng)，很難呼吸，而且塵土?xí)屛业貌?，所以如果你想出門，最好帶上面罩?！?/p>
The desert is only 250 kilometres away to the west of Beijing.To prevent it coming nearer, the government is planting trees.沙漠位于北京西邊距離北京僅僅250千米，為了防止沙漠進(jìn)一步向北京延伸，政府正在植樹。
Already the government has planted more than 30 billion trees and plans to continue planting for the next five years.目前政府已經(jīng)種了超過三十億棵樹，而且計劃在接下來的五年中繼續(xù)植樹。
第五篇：高中英語外研選修7課文翻譯 西蒙
西蒙.韋克菲爾德的云南旅行日記
西蒙.韋克菲爾德大學(xué)畢業(yè)后去了云南旅游。下面摘錄的是他的幾則日記。
日記1
4月20日
我來云南已經(jīng)兩個月了，這里多姿多彩的風(fēng)景仍然令我驚訝不已。南部的西雙版納是典型的熱帶氣候，但現(xiàn)在我卻在西北部的麗江。麗江一半是新城，一半是古城。古城依山而建，對面是海拔5，500米的玉龍雪山，山頂覆蓋白雪皚皚。這里的天空碧藍(lán)如洗，我一生從未見過如此美景。
今天清晨，我走進(jìn)山坡上一個美麗的公園，坐看古城慢慢地從睡夢中醒來。從上面俯看，古城就是一座由溝渠、小橋和鵝卵鋪成的街巷構(gòu)成的迷宮，游人極易迷失其中。三股溪流穿過古城，不管游人走到哪里，都能聽見潺潺的流水。汽車禁止進(jìn)入古城。走過一座座木石結(jié)構(gòu)的老屋，你會感覺自己恍如走進(jìn)了歷史。
日記2
4月23日
這里是納西族聚居區(qū)。一連幾個下午，我坐在舊城廣場的咖啡館里，注視著來往的行人。他們有著迷人的民族文化。例如，管理納西族社會的是婦女，而且近來還是由納西族的婦女來繼承全部財產(chǎn)。她們圍成小圈坐在廣場上，身背孩子，對游客絲毫不感興趣。她們有在街中心圍著桌子打撲克的習(xí)慣。納西人仍然穿著傳統(tǒng)的民族服裝，婦女們穿著藍(lán)色的衣褲，外面罩著藍(lán)色或黑色的多褶圍裙。
今天下午，我有幸遇到一位住在古城的納西族老人。他大約八九十歲了，依然精力充沛。這位老人會說點(diǎn)英語，給我看了幾首英譯的納西詩歌。這些詩讀起來真是美極了！納西語是唯一仍在使用的象形文字，已有一千多年的歷史了。納西人所信奉的造物主叫塔布，塔布助他們的始祖從魔蛋中孵出來。在10世紀(jì)編集的書里能找到關(guān)于這個傳說的圖畫，今天的麗江仍然能見到這些書的抄本。
日記3
4月25日
麗江是一座畫家和作家云集的古城，但是，納西文化卻尤以音樂聞名。納西音樂世代相傳，雖歷經(jīng)八個世紀(jì)仍保持原來的音韻。過去在納西的富人當(dāng)中，懂音樂才稱得上真正的君子。我剛剛欣賞了納西古樂的演奏。演出在木頭搭建的大廳里舉行，由納西族男子表演，有些老人看起來足有一百多歲了！他們演奏的古曲有《水龍吟》、《一江風(fēng)》、《山坡羊》等。他們演奏的音樂聽起來時而像怨婦幽泣，時而像雪壓樹枝。聽眾既有外地游客也有當(dāng)?shù)匕傩?，一個個就像著了魔了似的，聽得如癡如醉。
日記4
4月29日
再過一天我就要去昆明，然后從那里乘飛機(jī)回國了。這些日子令人難忘，我真的不愿離去。了解了這么多的納西文化，現(xiàn)在我明白：人與人之間雖然有差異，但是，都會歡笑與哭泣，需要愛和友誼。無論起初我們看上去有多么不同，然而我們本質(zhì)上是一樣的，每個人都是平等的。
點(diǎn)擊咨詢
