英语翻译
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 uselanguage 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 (降低).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 (缺陷).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 generational phenomenon but rathe as something new and peculiar to today's young people,it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.Otherwise,young people would not commit offenses
演讲者是一名来自社区大学的老师,他向赞同者发表演讲.当他说“很多高中英文老师没有尽到他们的责任”时,很多人都点头表示同意.他描述了他所教学生的能力不足:所有高中毕业的学生在语言运用方面仅仅相当于九年级水平.从回答我问题的答案中来看,我无法确定他们是怎么通过九年级的.
我的主题并不是标准的或标准的降低.这名演讲者真正表达出来的是他不再年轻了,他已经教学十六年了,可以像一个成熟的大人一样去思考和说话.
我的观点是对一代紧随其后的频繁指责其实是不可避免的.为我们的不满意寻找原因是人的天性来.十九世纪后期在英文还没有成为学校课程前人们很难找到一个目标来对语言的缺陷来进行指责.但从那时起,语文老师开始遭到持续不断的攻击.
抱怨者认为他们已经想到了一个最初的想法.当他们的语言运用能力进步时,他们注意到年轻人并没有这种进步的能力.他们没有意识到他们的这种语言能力已经经过年复一年的发展,而只是臆断年轻人在这一方面肯定已经无望了.对那些眼耳灵敏的大人们来说,年轻人的语言是非常粗糙不足的.
因为这种对英语语言降低的担忧并没有被看成世代都存在的现象,而被看成是当今年轻人个性新的的独特的表现,所以自然的人们就会认为是现在的英文教师没有尽到教学生的责任.不然,年轻人就不会违法犯罪了.
