wealth.但遗憾的是,今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失每14天就有一种语言消失,而与此同时,英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言这其中有关联吗?我不知道但我知道的是,我见证过许多改变初次来到海湾地区时,我去了科威特当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作其实,没有那么久啦,这有点太久以前了总之,我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师,在科威特的国立学校任教我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并通过教育提升公民的水平当然,英国也能得到些好处,产油国可是很有钱的Okay.Now th i si sthe majorchange thatIve seen-how teachingEnglishhas morphedfrom beinga mutuaI Iy beneficialpractice to becoming amassiveinternational businessthat it is today.No longerjust aforeign

test.言归正传,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科,也不再只是英国的专利英语(教学)已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流何乐而不为呢?毕竟,最好的教育来自于最好的大学,而根据最新的世界大学排名,那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育,但如果你不是以英文为母语,你就要通过考试Now can it beright toreject astudent onIi ngu i st ic abilityaIonePerhaps youhave acomputer scientistwho1sagenius.WouId heneed thesameIanguage asa Iawyer,for exampIe Well,I don11th i nk so.We EngIi

I.但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家,但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗?我不这么认为但身为英语老师的我们,却总是拒绝他们我们处处设限,将学生挡在路上,使他们无法再追求自己的梦想,直到他们通过考试现在容我换一个方式说,如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人,而这个人能治愈癌症,我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗?我想不会但事实上,我们的确在做这种事我们这些英语老师就是把关的你必须先让我们满意,使我们认定你的英文够好但这可能是危险的把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持,也许会令这种障碍太过普及Okay.But,11I

Iwanttoremind youthat thegiants uponwhose shouIderstoday1s inteIIigentsiastand didnot haveto haveEnglish,they didnthaveto pass anEnglish test.Case inpoint,Einstein.He,bytheway,was consideredremedia

rejectingthem.我想要提醒你们,扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀”不必非得具有英文能力,他们不需要通过英语考试爱因斯坦就是典型的例子顺便说一下,他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习,因为他其实有阅读障碍但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试,因为他们直到一九四六才开始使用托福现在英语测验太泛滥了,有太多太多的英语测验,以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试现在你会认为,你和我都这么想,这些费用不贵,价钱满合理的但是对数百万的穷人来说,这些费用高不可攀所以,当下我们又拒绝了他们It bri ngsto minda headIi neI sawrecent Iy:nEducat ion:The GreatDivide.n NowI getit,I understandwhy peopIewouId focuson English.They wanttogive their chiIdrenthe bestchance inI ife.And to do that,they needaWestern education.Because,of course,the bestjobs goto peopleout oftheWestern Universities,thatIput onear Iier.111sac ircuI arthing.这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻“教育大鸿沟”现在我懂了我了解为什么大家都重视英语,因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会为了达成这目的,他们需要西方教育毕竟,不可否认,最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人就像我之前说的,这是一种循环Okay.Let meteIIyou astory abouttwo scientists,two English scientists.They weredoing anexper imentto dowith geneti csand thefore Iimbsandthe hi ndIimbs ofanimals.But theycouldn11get theresuIts theywanted.They reaIIy didn11knowwhattodo,unt iIaIong camea Germanscientistwho

muchmore.好,我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事有两位英国科学家在做一项实验,是关于遗传学的,以及动物的前、后肢但他们无法得到他们想要的结果他们真的不知道该怎么办,直到来了一位德国的科学家他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字,但在遗传学上没有区别在德语也是同一个字所以,叮!问题解决了如果你不能想到一个念头,你会卡在那里但如果另一个语言能想到那念头,然后通过合作我们可以达成目的,也学到更多My

you!永远不要放弃我们经常听到人们说,“永不放弃”,这些可以鼓励的话和决心的话相信他们的人会继续努力去实现他的目标,不管他失败多少次在我看来,成功的决心是一个重要的问题因此,我相信我们不应该放弃一个原因是,如果我们放弃太容易,我们很少会实现任何东西在我们的第一次尝试中失败是不寻常的,所以我们不应该感到气馁,应该再试一次此外,如果我们总是放弃当我们失败,我们将无法发展新的技能和增长的人我们不应该放弃的另一个原因是我们可以从我们的错误中学习,只有当我们做出新的努力如果我们不尝试,我们所学到的教训是浪费的最后,我们永远不会放弃,因为当我们努力达到我们的目标时,我们会发展信心,而这种信心能帮助我们在生活的、其他领域取得成功如果我们从不挑战自我,我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力总之,重要的是,我们不放弃工作时,我们的目标不管我们是否成功,我们都会学到一些东西,我们的学习会帮助我们变得更好,更有自信的人此外,如果我们放弃,我们有机会实现我们的目标,但如果我们继续努力,总有一个机会,我们会成功的一天谢谢!关于坚持的英语演讲稿中英文对照3Keep
