一篇文章理解不透彻,求翻译(不要用机器翻译,我不是那么好糊弄的!!!!)
The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a Grade-9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this Grade-9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults, the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generation phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers can not be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.

演讲人是社区大学的一名老师，他的发言引起了观众的共鸣。当他说“高中老师没有应尽他们的职责”时，大家表示一致同意。他指出了他的学生，也是所有高中毕业生的不足——语言水平仅仅达到了九级水平。我不能从他的回答中找出九级水平时怎么得来的。我既不是要提出标准，也不是要对其否决。演讲者真正要说的是他已经不再年轻；他已经教学16年，具有成人的思考能力和谈话水准。我要说的重点是：对下一代人的不满可能是无法避免的，而且为我们的不满寻找答案也是人类的天性。在十九世纪英语成为学校课程之前，去责怪语言缺陷的形成是困难的。但是从那以后，英语老师就受到了非议。那些批评者认为自己已经找到了问题所在。随着他们对语言掌握程度的提高，他们认为年轻人没有这种语言掌握能力。年复一年，这些批评家们没有意识到自己的能力已经提高，所以在他们看来，新的年轻一代是毫无希望的。对于睿智的成年人的所见所闻，年轻人的语言总是存在缺陷。因为对英语存在缺陷这一问题的考虑没有被认为是一种年代现象而是被认为成了是使当今年轻人感觉新奇的事物，所以很自然地现在的英语老师不能够做好他们的工作。否则，年轻人将不会承认他们对语言所犯的错误。
我自己翻的，您看看行不？希望对您有帮助
