一、庞然大物般的高傲形象
二、音乐传奇与传奇音乐
我到北爱尔兰的贝尔法斯特参观著名的泰坦尼克博物馆,这里正是当年建造泰坦尼克号邮轮的船台,那条超级豪华邮轮就是从这里下水,4天后撞上冰山沉没海底。
可是,馆内冷冷清清,没有人读一读泰坦尼克号1517名遇难者的名单,没有人辨别一下这一千多人中哪两个是中国水手,没有人细细观看泰坦尼克号上的餐具、菜单和信件,没有人听一听遇难幸存者的讲话录音……我明明看见一车一车的旅游者涌进馆来,都躲到哪里去了?
当我来到纪念品商店,才发现那里人头攒动,热闹非凡,大家挑选着印有泰坦尼克号标记的纪念品:橡皮、铅笔、T恤、帽子、钥匙圈、长毛绒玩具、挂钟……一旦选定,就到收银台排长队,等着付款,很是耐心,不急不躁。
当我来到博物馆的广场上,看见许多对年轻的情侣和老年的爷叔阿姨,男的从后面搂住女的腰,女的笑呵呵地展开双臂,典型的Rose和Jack站在泰坦尼克号船头的招牌电影造型。
我想我的认知肯定有偏差了,我问自己:这个博物馆应该象征着一尊纪念碑吧?好像有一种惨痛的教训在里头吧?好像还书写着一段耻辱吧?哪能一记头变成欢乐谷了呢?
旅游不可怕,怕的是旅游有文化。驴友不可怕,怕的是驴友装文化。我觉得这些参观者蛮爽快,不想看就不看,不想看就去购物。文化有多远,他们就可能走多远吗?不是的,他们实实在在地表示不想跟着文化走那么远。
我到意大利的第一天就参观米兰大教堂,正在广场上拍照,忽然看见不远处有个壮实的黑人和我的同行者秦记者有了争执。我是跟某报二十多个记者一起来旅游的,我们马上把秦记者围拢起来,唯恐黑人欺负她。
立刻,两个模子壮实的女警察走过来,腰里别着枪。黑人向警察表示,秦记者用照相机拍了他,那是要没收照相机的,至少是要付钞票的。
秦记者摇摇头,不知道是表示她没有拍过,还是表示听不懂黑人说的意大利话。
最后,或许是我们人多势众,或许是警察对黑人那套花头经司空见惯,她挥挥手,叫那个黑人走得远点。事后我问小秦,她说她确实拍过那个黑人:啊呀抱歉,我从来没有看见过这么黑的黑人,除了眼白是白的,简直是漆黑一团!原来是生物和文化的差异让她大胆得忘乎所以。
有位叫古德曼的人说过:文化大致是人类可为而猴子不可为的任何事情。
到国外旅行,光认识几个英文单词是要吃苦头的。可是到了伊朗我竟然变得目不识丁,因为他们连数字都是波斯文的,不是阿拉伯数字。我站在马路边读不出任何一辆轿车的车牌号,瞎子一样。
伊朗是有着6000年文明的古国,他们对古诗的欣赏和热爱,中国人哪能和人家比?十四世纪伊朗出了一位伟大诗人叫哈菲兹,他博采众长,写了许多优雅的经典的诗,受到贵族和平民的一致拥戴。他的诗歌的影响仅次于《古兰经》,人们随身携带他的诗集,据说只要随手翻一页,就可以对现在的读诗人有启迪和指点。对此,我充满好奇,那是“启迪”,不是算命;那是诗歌,不是八卦。
来到哈菲兹的陵墓旁,我看见一位披着黑纱的女士正翻开哈菲兹的诗集给儿子讲解着什么。我对导游说:能不能请那位女士让我随意翻一页她的哈菲兹诗集并且为我解读一下?那位年轻的妈妈竟然同意了,微笑着递来诗集。我随手一翻,是第367页。她解释说:这一页说,你现在心里想的将来会得到,你会看到现在的世界将来会变得更好,但是你对现在的处境要有耐心要能够忍受……
我默默聆听哈菲兹前辈对我的教诲,可是凭良心说拎大不清,我在中国难道还不算一个“能够忍受”的?爱默生说,能够克服民族性就是文化的胜利。我克服了吗?她克服了吗?我胜利了吗……后来我把我随身戴着的一只贝雕解下来送给她的儿子作为一种谢意。
我到俄罗斯莫斯科克里姆林宫外面参观,旅游者可以随意拍照,但是马路对面不能过去,不能越过马路中间的那道红线。导游说:梅德韦杰夫总统(彼时普京是总理)的办公室就在马路对面那幢楼的二楼,那扇窗门就是他的窗门,看到了吧?
我想如果总统现在正好开窗或者要关一扇窗,就可以看见他了。我身后那个手臂膀极粗的游客突然说:力气大一点的人,可以把手榴弹扔进他的办公室!
哦,这个旅游者告诉他妈妈了吗?要是他在飞机上说:我可以把手榴弹扔进驾驶室的,飞机大概就要紧急迫降了。
有位哲人认定“文化就是指一切给精神以力量的东西”。那么给身体以力量的东西是不是文化呢?
在斯里兰卡参观多个世界文化遗产之后,导游叫我们接下来参观乡村文化,他把我们带到一个叫迪里瓦多恩的地方,多辆牛车正等候着我们。两头牛拉一辆牛车,一辆牛车坐4个人,我们被赶上从来没有坐过的交通工具。
虽然只有一公里都不到的路程,“乡村文化”开始给我们颜色看:首先是36度的高温,太阳直逼逼,头上像浇了一桶辣火酱,灌木丛中一点风都没有,我们个个大汗淋漓;其次是尘土,牛车在乡间的土路上行进,扬起黄黄的灰尘,灰尘粘到汗液上,我们一个个像刚出土的兵马俑;再次是臭,牛一路走一路放屁,一路排泄,我们就坐在牛屁股的后面,捂着鼻子,还是被熏得头昏脑胀;最后是颠簸,牛车上没有凳子,没有垫子,我们直接坐在木条子上。牛车的轮子是木头做的,外面不包橡胶之类的软物,它七颠八倒地把所有坎坷真实地反馈给我们。屁股非常痛,双手非常酸,因为只有紧紧拉住栏杆才不会甩出去,
牛车总算停了,我们的骨头都要断掉了、肉都要化掉了。导游问:体会到我们斯里兰卡原汁原味的乡村文化了吧?
文化文化,把文绉绉的东西化开了,大概就是文――化。
有些人到外国旅游是去探寻异国文化,我自己晓得我到世界各国去走走肯定不是“文化之旅”,我也不晓得算什么旅?
——给杨老师的信之三
杨老师:
这又是一首我陶醉的电影歌曲:《我心永恒》
大概也有十多年了吧随着《泰坦尼克号》公映,主题歌《我心永恒》弥漫在大街小巷,分布之广,大概只有空气能够匹敌。回忆当时Rose看着Jack慢慢沉下海底,那种撕心裂肺的痛,耳边响起席琳·迪翁的歌时,我多愁善感的性格又很久不能释怀。
影片中经典的深情相拥一再闪过脑海,尽显悠扬婉转而又凄美动人。歌曲的旋律从最初的平缓到激昂,再到缠绵诽恻的,一直到最后荡气回肠的悲剧尾声——短短四分钟的歌曲实际上是整部影片的浓缩版本。
“泰坦尼克号”——这艘号称永不沉没的“梦之船”已经永远沉没了,但人类那些美好、善良、崇高的情愫是永不会沉没!
“泰坦尼克号”不只是一个警告性的故事,一个关于人类不幸的神话、寓言和隐喻,它还是一个关于信念、勇气、牺牲和爱情的故事。”
在悠扬而幽怨的吹奏乐响起之前,《我心永恒》还只是一句誓言,之后,就成了悲剧的精灵。
普通人所能想象的悲剧美的极致是什么?是美好事物的彻底破灭还是破灭之后生生不息的精神?——席琳·迪翁选择了后者,她不让人绝望,她用换气时的强调性发音把悲伤加深,但又用纤尘不染的从容的女高音创造了形式美——誓言本来就具有的坚定被她唱得更加彻底——极大的悲伤和极大的爱的愿望,还有极大的形式美——这就是《我心永恒》的特征。
尽管这种生死恋的眼泪已经被很多人流过了,可我还是认为,这一次,有人超越了催泪的行列,而将圣洁带给了爱哭的人们。这就是席琳·迪翁的歌唱。
席琳·迪翁,傲视群芳,美仑美奂,但又从不炫技,她擅长那种感情和底气都十分充沛的大歌:《爱的力量》有长风万里的气势,而《我心永恒》则悲情似海,一正一反,恰好成全了世间并不存在的伟大的爱。席琳·迪翁的气质中闪耀着高洁的光芒,她没有那种调动肉体热情的天赋,但却可以捉住精神升华的秘密,无论她的歌声回荡在晴空云端,还是死寂的海面,都在回荡,都在不停留于肉体的超越。
《我心永恒》也有多种版本:
——钢琴版的《我心永恒》,很好的运用了钢琴的优雅与纯净,节奏的轻缓与急促,将信念、勇气、牺牲和爱情很好的一一展示了出来,让人忘记了经历过的那些悲伤与凝重,多了一份感情上的寄托。理查德·克莱德曼的演奏,将这一切做到了极致,使之成为一首需用心去倾听和感受的曲子,那里有伤感,有无奈,更有渴望和期盼,听后让人沉醉其中不能自已。
——萨克斯版的《我心永恒》,则多了一份柔和、松缓的味道,声音悠扬旷远,给人一种淡淡的、忧伤的感觉。它仿佛不是在讲一个故事,而是要将你藏在记忆里的一个个片段、一个个故事都呈现出来,使你不禁感慨生命是如此地脆弱,仿若大风暴里的一页扁舟——生命又是如此地坚强,不管多大的风雨也会纹丝不动!当一个人面对死亡时他所表现出来的感情和行为——这个时候是最本色、最原始的、没有任何伪装的、没有任何色彩的!你所看到的,就是他的灵魂!
记得一个朋友曾说过,没有歌词的音乐,使你的思想不会被文字所左右。你可以天马行空,可以自由无羁,可以无限遐想……这或许就是音乐的特殊魅力——一种自由之美吧!杨老师,打开你的思想,放飞你的思绪,随着音乐,让我们去追求这种美吧!
当然,你要的席琳-廸翁演唱的中英文对照版《我心永恒》我不会忘记的:
每一个寂静夜晚的梦里Everynightinmydreams
我都能看见你,触摸你Iseeyou,Ifeelyou,
因此而确信你仍然在守候ThatishowIknowyougoon
穿越那久远的时空距离Faracrossthedistance
你轻轻地回到我的身边Andspacesbetweenus
告诉我,你仍然痴心如昨Youhavecometoshowyougoon
无论远近亦或身处何方Near,far,whereveryouare
我从未怀疑过心的执著Ibelievethattheheartdoesgoon

春晚故事
我家春晚走“国际路线”
从2008年起,每年春节期间,杨耀莲家都会举办一场别开生面的家庭春晚。她家的春晚,不仅全家人都会上台一展才艺,还吸引了自己的外国朋友来参加。
杨耀莲说,她家春晚走的是“国际化路线”,并且还有个相当霸气的名字,叫“金都春晚”。
儿子首演成功,成“春晚”固定演员
“我以前就搞过活动策划,不过参加的都是专业演员。这一拨业余选手,我拿他们真没辙。”杨耀莲说,“不过冲着大家的踊跃劲儿,我就咬咬牙,迎难而上了。”
杨耀莲家第一次举办春晚时,她的儿子才上小学。别看他人小,却在当年的家庭春晚上率先登台,一曲长笛演奏“技惊全家”。
不过为了哄儿子上台,杨耀莲可没少费功夫。“表演前就跟他磨嘴皮子,许愿只要他上台,哪怕就吹一小会儿,我就给他奖励。”
不过,让杨耀莲没想到的是,儿子却临阵怯场,说什么都不肯登台表演。最后,她不得不动员全家,把儿子连拉带拽弄上台。“他演奏得还是很出色,大家都不停地为他鼓掌加油。”
首演尝到了甜头,之后的家庭春晚,杨耀莲的儿子总是第一个报名参加。
“肉丝儿”飙英文歌,引来“玫瑰”伴舞者
还是在杨耀莲家的首届春晚上,歌舞《泰坦尼克号》带来了全场。
主持人杨耀莲还没报完幕,《泰坦尼克号》的主演――家庭成员刘影,就迫不及待地迈着小碎步登台了。这位50多岁的“姑娘”,穿着吊带和裙子,身上的赘肉被勒成了“藕段”,“造型上的失败”却完全不影响她的表演。
当《泰坦尼克号》那熟悉的旋律响起,一串蹩脚的英语就从刘影嘴里唱了出来,且表情陶醉。“本来调子还挺准,没想到一唱到高音就破音,而且她的那个英文啊,实在不敢恭维。”杨耀莲说,“亲戚们都哈哈大笑,这个‘肉丝儿’也太有喜感了。”
更搞笑的是,由于刘影的裙子实在包不住她的“小蛮腰”,在她翩翩起舞时,裙子突然裂开了。全场人顿时被雷得“外焦里嫩”。
但也正是刘影“搞笑”的表演,征服了现场观众的心,带动了全场气氛。最后,杨耀莲的一个非常严肃的医生朋友也放下了矜持,嘴含玫瑰冲上台,为刘影伴舞。
“才华帝”献唱,歌声感动外国朋友
“精通多种乐器的家庭成员李华,都被我们叫成‘李才华’,因为他实在是太有才了。”杨耀莲说,“萨克斯、键盘、吉他,没有他搞不定的,完全是个音乐发烧友,他的车厢后面已经塞满了各种乐器!”
前年的家庭春晚上,杨耀莲的以色列朋友Eile也来捧场。这位外国朋友的到来,让“李才华”有些激动,他主动要求为Eile献唱一曲。听完“李才华”的演唱,Eile激动地站起来,连连向他敬礼,口中还不断用英文说着:“太棒了!太棒了!”
面对Eile的赞叹,“李才华”也来了劲,又接连献上多首外国民歌。大家也第一次发现,原来“李才华”真的很有才华。于是,从那届春晚后,大家不再叫他“李才华”,而送了他一个响亮的绰号“才华帝”。
“这样欢乐的家庭春晚,在我们家,每年大人小孩都很期待。”今年的家庭春晚,杨耀莲和家人又开始紧张筹备了。
1节目形式丰富多彩:杨家春晚的节目单品种不少,有演奏类的、有歌唱类的、猜谜的,甚至有英文民歌活跃气氛的。可能不够专业,但大家通过认真学习练习,还真能在春晚舞台收获许多掌声和欢乐,这就够了。
2包装充满喜感:家庭成员刘影,50多岁的胖大妈,穿吊带装,装嫩演小姑娘,还是外国的小姑娘,也难怪她的出场会带给大伙儿笑声。类似这样夸张和搞笑的包装,您不妨也学习一下,真的有意想不到的演出效果。
3好朋友的参与,会让家里人有“人来疯”的演出激情。杨家的春晚,还吸引了外国朋友的参与,这样的做法,有“打鸡血”的效果,自己人自娱自乐已经很开心,但为了在外人面前露一手,自己人或许会表现得更加人来疯,气氛更加热烈。
拿名人说事
潘长江的“家庭春晚”
潘长江家举办了多年的家庭春晚,他本人是小品演员出身,其他家庭成员的职业也多少和文艺沾点边,这样的班底也难怪他们家的春晚要从头笑到尾了。
潘长江说之所以要办这样的家庭春晚,是想利用这种方式抒发一下亲情,表达一下团结,释放一下辛苦一年的压力。他说,他们家的春晚节目都经过他本人的严格审查、筛选,歌曲曲目不好拿掉再选,包装创意不到位,再来。总之,对于家里这台春晚,潘长江的认真程度丝毫不逊于央视春晚。
“家庭春晚”的意义
1办“春晚”省去大吃大喝。每年春节,中国人通常的做法是,家庭成员互相串门拜年,然后聚餐,每次亲友吃完饭走后,碗筷就有两大盆。不如简单吃饭,多放心思在“欢聚”上。
2老老少少都能见面问候。说到拜年,许多地方都是晚辈给长辈拜年,但老人之间,因为身体条件等一些原因,不能挨家挨户走亲戚,彼此很难见面。“家庭春晚”就可以弥补这样的遗憾。
3增强家族成员的凝聚力。既然是家庭春晚,当然家庭成员都参加比较好,可根据自身情况设定规模,比如,今年可以办场一家7口的小型春晚,明年索性来个几十口的大家族春晚,隔年变一次。举办家庭春晚,是一个很好的诠释家庭凝聚力的方式,其乐融融的家庭氛围,也会给子子孙孙留下美好回忆。
《金色年代》温馨提示
举办家庭春晚的注意事项
一家庭春晚的开支,可采用AA制或设奖品和成本赞助商。一次“家庭春晚”的成本少则几百几千,多则上万,各家可结合自身的经济条件。量力而行,最好能采用AA制的方式。当然,如果有特别富裕的家族成员,在自愿的基础上,也可以由其来负担开支。
二虽然业余,也要认真准备。虽说大家都业余,可都要精心准备才有意思。年年想着花样翻新,才能够达到最佳效果。不会表演的家庭成员,可以设置一些小游戏,小竞赛的项目。毕竟,家庭春晚也有疲劳期,年年老三样,办几年,大伙就提不起兴趣了。所以,家庭春晚,策划创意很重要。娱乐牌要打,温暖牌也不可或缺,比如,也可以请晚辈们在新年之际,给爸爸妈妈或者爷爷奶奶写封感人的书信,在春晚那天朗诵出来,大伙儿评比,谁的信最能触动你。
\[关键词\]英语课堂;教学策略;中职
一、中职英语教学现状与存在问题
近几年来由于国家教育理念、教育政策的转变与调整,中职学校迎来了蓬勃发展。但是一系列中职学生的教学问题也逐渐暴露出来,英语方面主要体现如下:
从学生方面看,中等职业学校学生总体素质低,大部分学生初中文化基础知识普遍太差,自信心不足,对学习文化基础知识丧失信心。有的学生即使想提高英语成绩但又苦于无从下手,还有的学生感到自己初中阶段不会的知识太多,补上太难了,索性自暴自弃彻底不学。绝大部分学生认为他们上职业学校主要是为了学技术掌握一技之长,只要把专业技术学好就够了,普遍重视专业课学习而轻视文化课学习。
从教育理念方面看,多数中职学校不同程度地忽视对英语的教学,学校领导甚至很多英语教师重视程度不够,热情不足,都认为职业学校的学生英语基础太差,学生厌学英语。有些学校有些专业甚至都不开设英语课,认为学生学好专业技术就行了。这些都影响了教学目标的实现。
从教学模式方法看,教师教学模式方法传统单一,灌输式教学为主,忽视了学生的基础和个性特点,引不起学生学习英语的兴趣,教学效果普遍差。
二、教学探究策略
(一)明确教学目标,坚定教学理念
(二)注重教学内容的选择,降低教学难度
新颖的东西会引起学生的注意,引起学习者的兴趣。所以教学内容与教学方法的不断更新和变化,可以使学生保持积极的学习态度,让学生在学习过程中不断得到成功的体验,这已成为运用现代心理学研究成果激发学习动机的最重要手段之一。因此,教师在传授知识的同时应让学生获得成功的体验。学生一旦尝到学习的乐趣,既能使学习动机获得强化,又有助于产生自信心,增强自我效能感,而这又会对增强学习动机产生积极的促进作用。运用这种方法的要点是控制教学的进度和难度,使学生的某些具体学习目标不断得到实现。教学内容的难度是教学成功的因素之一。
1.从最简单的学起,26个字母、音标、背诵实用的谚语等。教学要简单易懂,每次课内容不宜过多,谚语如《前景基础英语综合教程2》第43页的:Youcan’tjudgeabookbyitscover.(人不可貌相,海水不可斗量。)Everydoghashisday.(人皆有出头之日。)
2.从教材中选择趣味实用的教学内容,拓展教学内容。如《前景基础英语综合教程2》Unit3Climate,笔者选择了对话、课文和快乐阅读的谚语部分,让学生查找有关表示climate的单词。学生就写出了如下单词:
weatherforecast天气预报
turningoutcloudy转阴
snowy有雪wet雨天
hot炎热flood洪水
rain雨cold寒冷
warm暖和(升温)cool凉爽(降温)
fog雾dry干燥
fine,clear晴windy有风
cloudy多云haze霾
typhoon台风
……
笔者引导学生进行如下讨论:
Aboutclimate
Makeadiscussion:
Asweallknow,theworldisgettingwarmerandwarmer.
Why
Whatresultsdoesitcause
Whatshouldwedo
学生上网搜索讨论得出如下结果:
(1)原因分析
人为因素:人口剧增;大气环境污染
(2)危害
气温升高所带来的热能会提供给空气和海洋巨大的动能,从而形成大型,甚至超大型台风、飓风、海啸等灾难。每年所遭受和面临的灾难越来越多,损失的生命和金钱数目越来越大,越来越让人难以接受。
3.自选教学内容。时事焦点、新闻、简单易懂的贴近生活的、学生感兴趣的东西都可以成为教学的内容。中职学生没有升学的压力,因此教师可以选择适合学生发展的任何内容,关键是培养学生的综合使用语言的能力。例如,有次课笔者让学生进行记单词比拼:比赛记忆有关颜色和水果的单词。当时是电气班和物流班的学生合班上课,笔者就将学生分为两组,电气班为一组,物流班为一组,两个班进行PK。任务是20分钟内写出的单词最多的班级为赢者。各组先抽签决定具体任务,然后可以使用因特网或字典准备,但是最后上黑板写单词时不能带任何东西,只能靠记忆写下单词。结果学生兴趣很浓,争分夺秒地写下了如下单词:
电气班的同学写下了18个颜色类单词:white白lack黑lue蓝色green绿色red红rown棕色pink粉红yellow黄色purple紫色camel驼色chocolate巧克力色coral珊瑚色offwhite灰白orange橙色snow雪白色stone石色tan茶abypink浅粉红色
物流班的同学写下了17个水果类单词:grap葡萄longan龙眼mango芒果peach桃pear梨plum李子strawberry草莓西瓜watermelon香蕉banana橙子orange苹果apple蓝莓blueberry黑莓blackberry木瓜pawpaw榴莲jackfruit荔枝litchi番石榴guava
(三)教学方法方式多样性
英语教学方法是一种建立在系统的原则和程序基础上的语言教学的途径和做法,是有关语言教与学最佳方式的观点的应用。这些观点涉及语言和语言学习的本质特征、语言教学目的、教学大纲、教师职能、学生活动、教材作用、教学技巧和程序等。
1.注意教学方法的多样性
像小学生一样,做做游戏,学生也很感兴趣。如做围椅子转的游戏。把学生分成几个组,每组一名指挥主持游戏,每组八名学生,按照以下方法进行:7把椅子背靠背摆在一起,8名学生围着椅子转圈,老师放音乐并用walk,run,hop,jump,touchyourhead,touchyourshoulders等喊口令。那8名围着椅子转的学生必须按口令做相应的动作。当老师突然将音乐停下时,他们必须马上坐到椅子上,没有抢到椅子的学生出局。拿走一把椅子,剩下的7人照上述规则继续游戏。依此类推,直到最后的学生获胜。就这样在轻松的游戏活动中,学生学会了walk,run,hop,jump,touchyourhead,touchyourshoulders等这些词汇。
教师还可以穿插猜谜语的方式等。总之,教学方法要变化多样,让学生感到趣味横生。
2.注意教学手段的多样性
在教学过程中,教师不能自开学到结束都在教室里重复同样的教学方法,要常转变教学手段,如在多媒体教室上或在室外上,让学生感到新鲜。教师经常制作多媒体课件,或者利用别人制作好的课件进行教学,有利于调动学生学习的积极性,让一节课有多个兴奋点,激发学生的积极性,让学生在宽松、生动的教学氛围中学会知识。例如,上《前景基础英语综合教程2》Unit3Climate时,笔者是这样设计的:先让学生看影片《飓风》的片段,片中情节惊险,一个男子被飓风从地窖中吹了出来。此时,学生兴奋不已,笔者就让学生谈论:WhathappenedtothemanWhatstucktheplace上完课文后,教师又放了飓风发生时的几种逃生方法的片断,让学生谈论,还让学生再想想逃生的其他方法,分组讨论,学习兴趣特浓。
除此之外,教师还可带学生到教室外的草地上上课,主要是实践活动,培养学生的实践能力。
(四)注意教学中的情感作用
JaneArnold说过,教师要善于营造有利于提高学习质量的心理氛围。这种氛围包括和谐的师生关系、学生的安全感、教师对学生内在情绪的敏感度、倾听并接受学生的意见、非评判性的师生交流、自尊心的保护以及权力的合理分配等。这种和谐的心理氛围不仅使得教师能够采取适当的教学方法,而且使得教师能够了解学生的学习过程,缩短师生之间的距离,从而促进学习。在课堂教学中、课外活动或是日常生活中,教师要多跟学生沟通,多聊他们感兴趣的话题和时事焦点,如“昆明事件”“马航失联”等,亲近学生、关心学生,与学生和睦相处,聊学生学习、生活、家庭以及快乐之事等,营造和谐师生关系,提高学习效率。
中职学生英语学习的现状不容乐观,作为教育工作者要坚定信念,充满信心地去研究教学对策,不断探索教学的新思路,提高中职英语教学质量。

电影作为一门视听艺术,它通过艺术形象的塑造,能表达一定的思想情感,体现时代和民族精神,真实地反映社会的各种文化。近年来,随着我国对外开放的不断扩大与深入,越来越多的国外优秀电影被引进国门,极大地影响和丰富了我国广大人民的生活,成为中外文化交流的主渠道之一。许多英文原版电影如《魂断蓝桥》、《泰坦尼克号》和《阿甘正传》等或以波澜壮阔的场景,或以优美迷人的画面,或以至纯至深的情感,或以演员高超的演艺给观众留下深刻的印象。精彩的内容,不仅使观众充分欣赏到英文原版电影的魅力,还有利于我们了解西方文化。
一英文原版电影潜在的文化艺术内涵
1英文原版电影的语言情景渲染了语言的文化氛围
欣赏英文原版电影时给我们提供了真实的语言环境,同时也为我们展现了一个了解英美文化、风俗及概况的窗口,这无疑会对我们了解、学习他国文化及建立跨文化的学习意识起到促进作用。语言是文化的一部分,语言的表达与了解背景文化应密切结合在一起。欣赏英文原版电影可以丰富我们的语言文化知识。影视语言有其丰富性和强烈的感染力,每部电影都有其独特性和哲理性,影视语言艺术主要靠造型语言来塑造角色。每个角色的语言背后都隐藏着自己的生活经历和文化修养,从而形成自己的独特语言以及各自的性格特征。因此,在看这些电影的过程中,可以帮助我们深入了解英美文化。电影通过对不同故事的刻画去折射文化。电影从它的一开始就作为一种国际现象而存在,它的传播能促进国际间的文化交流。电影的蒙太奇方式,已经影响了并将继续影响人类的思维和语言,使世界各国各族之间的情感形态更为接近。英语原版电影从多方面、多角度展示了英语民族的文化。
2英文原版电影中的经典对白可以刻画人物性格,蕴含人生哲理
3英文原版电影能体现英语民族的文化,包括英语民族人们的思维方式,生活习俗等
语言是文化的载体。从某种意义上来说,电影是一种包罗万象的文化载体,英语电影从多方面、多角度展示了英语民族的文化。如脍炙人口的电影《乱世佳人》的故事大背景就是美国南北战争,这个背景贯穿整个故事。如果对美国的这段历史缺乏一定的了解,必然会难以深刻理解和体会这段有始无终的被战争、变迁和社会簇拥着的浪漫爱情故事。4英文原版电影是中西思维及习理差异的真实体现英文原版电影中的语言基本都是由日常生活语言组成的,这些语言流露出西方人的生活点滴以及思维方式等。通过欣赏这些原版电影,我们可以了解由于受地域、文化、经济等的影响而造成的中西民族的思维方式及心理存在的种种差异。在心理习惯方面,中国文化属人文文化,中国人直觉思维发达,具有较强的情感性和直观性;而西方文化属科学文化,理性思维发达,具有严密的逻辑性和科学性。
二欣赏英文原版电影过程中的文化艺术修养体现
1寓教于乐,心理放松
我们都知道,欣赏英文原版电影时,我们可以听到地道的外国人的语音和语调。尤其是影片把文字、图像、动画等结合起来,创造一种生动活泼、形象逼真的国外生活环境。语言和环境相结合,充分调动了我们的视觉、听觉和感觉,使自己身临其境,在不知不觉中使自己进入一个异国他乡的氛围,去感受外国文化给我们带来的心灵上的震撼。虽然电影中说的英语大多数带着角色专有的气质、情感、口音等特征,但却是我们了解的真正的英语口语。电影中的精彩对白、原汁原味的英语环境,具有很大的吸引力。比如一些美国老电影,如《阿甘正传》、《北非谍影》、《罗马假日》、《音乐之声》等主人公语速较慢,句子完整,语音清晰,诙谐幽默,让人百听不厌。有人说,看一部美国老电影,相当于在美国生活十天。
2培养语言敏感性,提高文学修养
3提升语言翻译技巧和领悟能力
4扩大知识面,提高眼界,满足心理需求
13岁意味深远:青少年,看PGl3的电影,独自外出,随时会坠入情网。让父母最头疼的,是第二次反抗期的开始。心理学家认为,第一次反抗期在3岁左右――行动上独立,第二次反抗期在15岁左右――思想意识上独立。
我还没做好足够的心理准备,变化已有迹可寻:她开始注意穿戴,打耳洞,涂指甲,留披肩发,和全美国的女孩子们一起,迷上电影《泰坦尼克号》的男主角,她们个个会唱主题歌。在音乐上的对立早就开始了,平时还行,关门各听各的。去年圣诞节开车去拉斯韦加斯。她的范晓萱嗲声嗲气,磁带像丢了转,何止影响驾驶,简直让我发疯。倘若有一天警察用范晓萱的歌过堂,我立马招供,大喊大叫。一代人一代歌,不可能沟通。
中国人在西方,最要命的是孤独,那深刻的孤独。放了学,田田旋风般冲进来,自己弄点儿吃的,就地卧倒,开电视,看脱口秀(talkshow)。威尔史密斯,那个电视上快乐的黑人小伙儿,眼见着成了我们家一员。田田一边做功课,一边跟着他咯咯地乐。她最爱看的还是《我爱我家》,她至少看了几十遍,几乎都能背下来。这是她在寻根,寻找那个地理上的家,寻找美国经验以前人与人的亲密、纠葛与缠斗。
我跟田田分开了6年,从她4岁到10岁。我满世界漂流时,暗自琢磨,恐怕只有田田这个锚,才能让我停下来。有一天,住在英格兰的朋友告诉我,他们乡下有幢老房子正出售,便宜得难以置信。他还找来照片:歪斜的石头房子和开阔的田野。这成了我的梦,我愿客死他乡,与世无争。只求做麦田里的守望者,把田田带大。
昨夜惊醒,田田站在我床前,用手蒙着眼睛,嘟嘟囔囔。她做了噩梦,梦见吸血鬼。她告诉我,她总是在梦里飞翔,自由自在。看来事与愿违,她想远走高飞,留下无边的麦田和影子西斜的我这个老父亲。
田田上初一,功课多,我得帮她做功课。历史课本相当生动,我也跟着上课。最近我们一起进入中世纪的黑暗:黑死病消灭了欧洲入口近三分之一;圣经译成英文前,仅少数懂拉丁文的牧师掌握解释权,这是导致教会腐败的原因之一。
一天她告诉我,历史老师宣布:考试成绩前5名的同学每人交5块钱,分数可再提高。其余同学都傻了,继而怒火中烧,田田考砸了,也加入抗议的行列。我跟着拍案而起,造反有理!我们全部上了当――原来这与历史课本有关:在马丁-路德的宗教改革以前,富人只要捐钱给教会,杀人放火,照样可赦免上天堂。老师略施小计,让学生外带个跟班的家长体会一下当时穷人的愤怒。
关键词:英语教学英美文化英语语言
语言是文化的一种表现形式,是文化的载体,体现语言使用者的民族文化特性。学习语言,要充分理解与掌握这种语言背后所体现的文化内涵。如果只是单纯的学习语言,不考虑这种语言的文化内涵,就不能保证沟通的顺畅。在这种情况下,就要求英语教学不应只注重语言知识传授,更应该考虑所教语言承载的文化内涵,使语言与文化相结合,在这种结合中培养学生的跨文化交际能力。因此,在英语教学中,应尝试在传授学生英语语言的同时,注意提高学生的英语文化修养。
1注意传授文化内涵,提高学生英语文化修养
比如:COUNTRY、NATION、STATE都是国家的意思,为什么美国就一定要说成是THEUNITEDSTATES而不是THEUNITEDCOUNTRY?这是因为COUNTRY是强调领土意义上的国家,NATION是强调民族意义上的国家,而STATE则是强调政权意义上的国家。所以,同为国家的意思,三个词的文化内涵是不一样的,用法也就大不相同。
2利用课内外活动,为学生创造“说”英语的机会
此外,还可以利用多种教学手段引导学生学习跨文化知识,如广播、报刊杂志、多媒体等。现代化图像、声光传媒工具的灵活使用可以极大地丰富教学手段,活跃课堂气氛,激发学生学习英语文化的意识。比如,可以把像《走遍美国》这样声情并茂的教学片引入课堂。《走遍美国》围绕一个典型的美国三代人家庭的生活展开,剧中布满了理解、烦恼和欢欣等情感,体现出了片中人物的价值观、伦理观、道德观和人生观,具有浓厚的人情味和隽永的意趣。它很巧妙地体现了“跨文化交际”的特点:细述形形的美国生活,使学生通过对美国文化和生活的体验,学到活生生的美国英语。课堂中,教师还可以给学生介绍英文小说,歌曲等。
3利用多媒体技术,提升英语学习兴趣
为了提升学生对英语学习的兴趣和广泛了解英美社会的人文环境,还可利用多媒体技术,定期给学生们放英文电影。学生可以通过电影了解异国的生活方式、信仰体系、社会价值、道德标准等表层和深层的文化。了解了一部电影就了解了一个国家的一段历史、一代人甚至是几代人的生活及那个时期的文化,因此电影鉴赏是我们了解一个国家文化的重要途径之一。
最后,在教学中要合理处理汉语文化与英语文化的关系。不仅要结合自己所用教材内容及学生兴趣特点进行适时适量的异域文化知识扩充,还应进行文化间对比与分析,与汉语文化知识及表述方式进行比较,让学生意识到“跨文化交际总是两种文化接触,冲突,协调的动态过程”。留给学生辨证思考的空间。

著名的希波克拉底誓言是在这位著名的希腊医生希波克拉底(公元前460~前376年)死后才产生的。因为这位科斯岛的医生本身就是一个传奇,所以人们就捏造了他撰写医德誓言的故事,目的在于赋予医德誓言的威慑力。1948年颁布的有关医生道德誓言的《日内瓦公约》就是在希波克拉底誓言的基础上制定的。例如,誓言中有关对病人秘密守口如瓶和细心照料病人的义务等部分被保留下来,而关于医生技艺不可外传之类的规定已经被删除。
巨杉是世界上最高寿的树种
北美洲的巨杉可以长到100多米高,活上好几千年。最长寿的巨杉能够活2200年之久,而最长寿的猛犸杉能活到3500岁。长期以来,人们认为没有比它们更长寿的生物了,直到人们在20世纪50年代时,在美国洛矶山山里发现了那些并不惊人的芒松。在1964年,在内华达州由于疏忽而不小心砍掉的那颗“普罗米修斯”树,当时已经有4950年的历史了。现存于加利福尼亚州的“玛土撒拉”树已经有4770年的历史了。
只有人和动物才会发烧
美国科学家借助红外线温度计发现,就连植物也会发烧。如果它们缺水或者因为根部受损而无法吸收足够的水分的话,被破坏的水分供给系统让植物的体温最多上升5度,体温可以从植物的树叶测量出来。
恐龙是在冰河期之前不久灭绝的
恐龙纪元是在6500万年之前结束的,而接下来的冰河期发生在两到三百万年前。恐龙不是因为白垩纪的到来而灭绝的,它们生活在整个白垩纪时期,直到整个时期结束时才灭绝。
猴子们之间互相捉虱子
女生比男生的数学要差一些
当人们长期以来在女孩子和男孩子各种资质对比研究上没有得到任何结果之后,人们还是坚信女孩子和男孩子在资质上是绝对有差别的。比如,平均来看,女生在语言测试方面比男生要好一些,而男生在技术科目上的成绩要比女生好一些。然而,在数学这个学科上则要分别来看。在空间想象力和数学推论方面,男生要有优势,但是女生的计算能力要好一些。
化学元素周期表是门捷列夫发明的
早在公元1830年左右就出现了把化学元素放在一个系统表里进行划分的想法。公元1869年两位化学教授同时独立地做到了把所有的化学元素归入一个完整的系统表中。他们分别是圣彼得堡的德米特里伊万诺维奇门捷列夫(1834~1907年)和布雷斯劳的尤里乌斯洛塔尔迈耶尔(1830~1895年)。借助化学元素周期表,可以预测还没有被人类发现的元素。门捷列夫由此预测出了镓、锗、铼和钪等元素的特征。
艺妓都是女性
艺妓指的是表演传统日本技艺的消遣艺术家。最早的艺妓是男性。到17世纪时,才出现了女艺妓。起初,为了把她们和区别开来,禁止女艺妓进行。然而,她们还是发展了一种自己专属的、微妙的风格。当然很多的艺妓都会和自己的老顾客发生性关系,那是为了偿还高额的艺妓培训费用。但是,艺妓也很贵,所以她们绝不会随便和新顾客发生关系。
人们应该尽可能多吃维生素和矿物质
有机体不可能无限量地消化吸收健康所需的维生素。如果摄入维生素过多的话,其中的一些维生素会被排出来。摄入过量的维生素对身体是有害的。过量的维生素A会让人头疼和恶心,过量的维生素C会扰乱血液中荷尔蒙的含量,过量的维生素D会导致痉挛和胆结石,过量的维生素E会使人恶心、作呕,并且给肠胃功能带来负担,过量的维生素B会让人瘙痒、易怒并且产生轻微的麻痹感。另外,摄入过多的维生素或者矿物质会妨碍吸收其他重要物质。比如,吸入过多的钙会导致体内锌元素的流失。所以,人们刻意地增加维生素或矿物质的摄入量并不是毫无疑虑的事。
白肉比红肉健康
白肉和红肉之间的界定标准从来没有统一过。有些人认为家禽的肉属于白肉,而猪、牛和羊肉属于红肉。但是鹅腿肉比一块细嫩的煎小牛肉排颜色要红得多。就算通过分析肉的成分也无法证明一块火鸡排比一块牛排要健康。而来自美国的研究认为红肉不利于健康的结论,可能是没有考虑到人们喜欢用亚硝酸盐腌渍牛和猪的某些部位的肉,然后再在火上进行烧烤,这样才是真的有害健康。
打火机比火柴要先进
第一个打火机是约翰沃尔夫冈杜布莱那(1780~1849年)在公元1816年发明的。这个打火机的原理是,盐酸和锌发生化学反应后产生的氢气在催化作用下,用铂点燃氢气产生火焰。而用一端抹上磷的小木棒通过摩擦产生火焰的火柴,则是在公元1832年才被生产出来的。然而,第一批生产出来的火柴太容易被点燃,只要不小心轻轻一划就会被点燃。所以,在公元1848年杜布莱那的学生鲁道夫克里斯蒂安伯格(1806~1881年)用相比之下不太容易被点燃的硫磺做火柴头,制造了安全性能较高的火柴。
汉堡包和汉堡这个城市没有什么关系
讲英语的文化人都认为,汉堡包的英文“Hamburg”中的“Ham”可能来自于英语中“ham(火腿)”这个单词。后来,又出现了以同样的构词方式的干酪汉堡包和鸡肉汉堡包。然而,汉堡包里面其实没有火腿肉,而是按照汉萨同盟城市汉堡命的名。在19世纪之时,德国移民把用煎过的碎肉做成肉饼来吃的习俗带到了美洲,在那里这种煎肉饼以“汉堡牛排”或者“汉堡三明治”的名称而闻名。
酒精对身体不益
因为红葡萄酒殊的成分对心脏有益,所以可以喝上一小杯红葡萄酒。然而,研究证明,不仅仅只有红葡萄酒对身体好。有节制的饮酒者比滴酒不沾的人寿命还要长一些。其中,不仅仅只有红葡萄酒,连白葡萄酒、啤酒甚至烈性酒也有同样的功效。节制的意思是,每天喝上最多40克纯正的酒,也就相当于半瓶葡萄酒、一升啤酒或者两小杯烧酒。但绝对不能贪杯。
领带象征着服装的文明
最初的领带是有军事含义的。16世纪,克罗地亚的骑士们把飘带围在脖子上,飘带那长长的末端就顺着垂了下来。骑士们在土耳其战争乃至30年战争中取得了功绩,所以路易十四把克罗地亚的一支精锐部队买了下来。这种围在脖子上的围巾让巴黎的贵族们十分中意,把它变成了一种时尚。同时,围巾变得越来越狭长,围巾的那长长的末端不是垂下来就是把它系成蝴蝶结,也就是现在的横领结。“领带”这个名词其实是从某个方言中的“克罗地亚人”演变过来的。
