Unit 1. How to Be a Successful Language Learner

Text A Learning to Think Over Again

Graham E. Fuller

1.When you were a child, you didn't know what a tree was at first. Somebody had to tell you. Probably your parents took you outside, pointed to a tree and said, "Tree! "tree" .You had to learn to associate the sound of the word with the big green leafy thing you saw in front of you.

2. That's what you must learn to do again when you are learning a foreign language. You need to learn to associate sounds with objects, and to think in a new way. Only this time, since you are grown up, you will be able to understand what needs to be done much faster. You'll know why somebody is pointing to a tree and saying a strange word. But you'll still have to learn the new word. You may even have to relearn it many times before you finally actually learn it.

3. There is an important idea here. In America our name for that big green leafy thing is "tree',, but in Germany the name for that thing is "B aum ". In Arab countries the name is "shajra". And in China they say "shu". These various words are not themselves "trees". They are just some of the many hundreds of different sounds used in the world to represent that great big green leafy thing.

4. To learn a foreign language you must get away from the idea of translating words. Translating takes too much time and mental energy. You will never learn to really speak and understand a foreign language if you have to translate everything. Instead, learn to associate the new sound directly with the image in your mind. So when we hear the sound "Baum" or "shajra" or "shu", we don't want to think, "Hmmmm. Baum means tree, which means that great big green leafy thing."

5. Don't think that the challenge of new thinking will be limited only to the area of new words; it is going to go much deeper than that. Let's use an analogy: you can build a house using materials of very different sizes and shapes. English uses one set of building blocks, but other languages will use

different-shaped building blocks that take some creativity to put together at first. Where we use two blocks, they may use three smaller ones---or maybe one large one.

6. Here's an example of an English sentence: We have to buy a few books before going home. When translating into almost any foreign language, you will not take each English word and substitute a foreign word for it. You will instead be substituting groups of words or ideas from one language to the other. How each language will choose to group the ideas depends on the language. In French or Spanish, for example, “we have to buy”is broken down into three words: we/have to/buy. In

Turkish, however, the Turks are able to reduce all these four words to only one.

7. So learn to start thinking in terms of bundles of concepts or ideas that will be converted to new language and not single words. Try to think in a foreign language. This isn't all that hard. You learn to think in the language simply by using the language over and over again, asking and answering simple questions until you feel comfortable with the process. Then you add some new words, and a few more new situations, and practice using them together with all the words you learned in previous lessons. Bit by bit you build up skill.

8. Once you really get into the language, you'll understand all this

a good deal better. Somebody will be saying something quite fast and you'll suddenly realize that you understood it all! It's a great moment. Really satisfying. You probably wouldn’t be able to repeat the words, or even know how it was that you understood it all. But it's a sign that the language is starting to sink into your mind. You're beginning to understand without translating.

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to

第一单元如何成为一个成功的语言学习者 TEXT A How can you learn a foreign language well? According to the author of this te xt, you might need to think in a new way, a process almost like going back to chil dhood again… 如何学好一门外语？根据这篇文章的作者，你也许需要用一种新的方式去思考，这一过程几乎像是再次回到童年。。。 Learning to Think All Over Again 学会重新思考 When you were a child, you didn’t know what a tree was at first. Somebody had to t ell you. Probably your parents took you outside, pointed to a tree and said, ”Tree!” Yo u had to learn to associate the sound of the word “Tree” with the big green leafy thing yo u saw in front of you. 当你还是个孩子的时候，起初你并不知道树是什么，得有人告诉你。也许你的父母带你到外面，指着一棵树说，“树！”你得学会将“树”这个词的音跟你眼前那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西联系起来。 That’s what you must learn to do again when you are learning a foreign language. Y ou need to learn to associate sounds with objects, and to think in a new way. Only this ti me, since you are grown up, you will be able to understand what needs to be done muc h faster. You’ll know why somebody is pointing to a tree and saying a strange word. Yo u may even have to relearn it many times before you finally actually learn it. 这是你在学习外语是必须再次学会做的事。你得学会将声音和事物联系起来，用一种新的方式思考。只是这一次，因为你已经长大，所以能够更快地去理解需要做的事。你会知道为什么有人指着一棵树，说着奇怪的单词。但是你仍然得学习那个新单词。说不定还得重复学习多遍才能最终真正的掌握它。 There is an important idea here. In America our name for that big green leafy thing i s ”tree”, but in Germany the name for that thing is “Baum”. In Arab countries the name i s “shajra”. And in China they say ”shu”. These various words are not themselves “tree s”. They are just some of the many hundreds of different sounds used in the world to rep resent that great big green leafy thing. 这里有一个重要的概念。在美国我们称那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西为tree，但是在德国那东西叫Baum。在阿拉伯国家，它的名字是shajra。在中国，我们称它为shu。这些各式各样的词本身并不是树。它们只是世界各地用来代表那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西的几百种声音中的几个。 To learn a foreign language you must get away from the idea of translating words. Tr anslating takes too much time and mental energy. You will never learn to really speak an d understand a foreign language if you have to translate in your mind. Instead, learn to associate the new sound directly with the image in your mind. So when we hear the
