龙永图与于丹论英语之“道”:贵在态度
2008-07-26 20:47:24
龙永图:我回忆上世纪70年代初在英国学英文的时候,实际上我真正学英文不是在课堂里面学到的,而是在学生宿舍学到的。那时候每个学生宿舍都有电视,我们一个commonroom就有十来个学生,它有一个起居室,只有那儿才有一台电视。我们当时很郁闷,因为那些英国学生最愿意看足球,我们两个中国学生是少数派,大多数是英国学生,他们就是老看足球,等足球看完了以后,才轮得上我们去看电视,因为那些电影都是老掉牙的电影,他们根本不爱看。所以我们就坐在那个角上,就等那个时间,因为你走的话,怕另外的英国学生“啪”搞到别的地方上,又完了,又傻眼了。我们感到在这个commonroom里面学的英文特别多,因为他们都在吵,在嚷,互相吵架。我们就仔细听,到底这个英国人日常交流是什么样子。而且他们之间互相怎么骂人、怎么开玩笑、怎么幽默,我们都不知道。后来我们就学精了,别浪费这个时间,就在他们看足球的时候,他们忘乎所以的时候,他们用英文发挥得非常极致、非常地道的时候,我们学到了很多的 英语 。不是刻意地找一个英国朋友来对话,而是从他们的对话当中学到英文。所以这个学习的场所啊、方式啊,无所不在。为什么让我们的学生快乐地学习,实际上就是要通过不同的形式学习。当然我们当时还并没有这样一个意识,但是我们也是被逼出来的。所以我们学的英文非常地道,很多人在国内的大学 学了五六年,看不懂英文电影,但我们可以,就是因为我们在这样一个环境里边成长起来的。主持人:龙先生你讲的是英国学习的一个例子。我想课堂不管是在星巴克还是 麦当劳,其实我们想追求的是一种轻松的上课方式。
龙永图:于丹老师也讲了,她不可能把本科生带到自己家去,一是没有那么大的地方,二是本科生还是要有一些基础 知识 教育,和研究生情况还是不太一样。但是我在美国的时候,看过那些美国的小学生,是基本不学习 的,也没有桌椅板凳,他整天就在一个大屋子里面跑来跑去的。那就是他们的小学教育。这种教育的方式我们需要很好地研究一下。于丹:其实说来说去,方式和技巧都不重要,重要的是一种态度。就是你对于成长、对于这种生命各个阶段内在的规律,对于这个时代选择的标准,是不是保持着一种深刻的尊重。我觉得人做任何事情都有三个阶段,第一个阶段就是有技巧无境界。比如说那个画画的,先画明暗关系,一点乐趣都没有;拉小提琴,拉得跟那个弹棉花似的,多难听啊。但是他也得练,这是有技巧无境界。到第二个阶段就是技巧和境界并重。就是说你有技巧,但是你知道要达到一个什么境界。到了第三个阶段,就是境界浑然天成,技巧终被抛却,所有外在技巧都不重要。实际上像我们,我自己就是师范生 毕业 的,那时候都学教学法、教育学 ,也知道上课,比如说开头三分钟这个教案怎么做,结尾的时候怎么来做,中间怎么用一个悬念,跟学生沟通的时候你要怎么看着他。这些东西在我看来,就像达·芬奇画鸡蛋一样,这是一开始的技巧。你再往后做就会觉得,技巧的东西都不重要,你不用想这些。其实我现在进课堂,想的都是我今天一路上走来,看见了什么,我要跟他们说什么。这十几年,我喜欢把我的课排在星期一,而且是周一的早晨,因为我觉得我们生命有很多起点,在一年伊始的时候,在我们生日的时候,总会感觉生命站在一个新的平台和起点上。周一,一天的早晨,不就是一个起点吗?所以我跟学生说,每一天你睁开眼的时候,你要能想到今天你快乐的三个理由,这一天就挺有质量。这一天有三件事,哪怕你就想吃顿饭,想见一个人,想给自己买一个小包,甭管是什么,三个快乐的理由就够了。这就够你一天,一周也一样。龙永图:可能一个就够了,有时候。于丹:但是三个更多一点,有个储备。我上课的时候,是那种全院的平台大课,我们艺术楼有一个大阶梯教室,在一楼,旁边是一个非常漂亮的塑胶跑道的大操场,外面有人在来回跑。这个窗子都是落地窗户,很受干扰,所以那个教室里都是拉着厚厚的窗帘,上面开着日光灯。我上课有一个习惯,进去以后就拉窗帘,我就说孩子们,把后边的窗帘也拉开。他们刷刷刷也都打开。我不怕干扰,我觉得没有什么比阳光更重要。为什么在一个充满阳光的时刻,我们开着日光灯?我们要用窗帘把阳光遮起来吗?你是挡住了喧嚣,但是也挡住了比喧嚣更多的东西,比如说自然。
其实我的课不是特别怕这种喧喧嚷嚷,外头不停有人跑,他们也往窗外看,他们听我的话,下头也接下茬,100多人,这屋子里嗡嗡的老有声音。但是我知道,他们心在 课堂 上,他们嚷嚷,说的东西都跟课程 有关。我们为什么不能在这么一个通透开放的 环境 里呢?我在刚开始做老师的时候,是不敢这样的。窗帘要拉严,拿着点名册,问谁没来。但是后来我觉得这不重要,重要的是大家有状态,要投入。我记得刚做大学老师,我都穿着特别职业的套装。有朋友说,老师的穿着应该——其实应该像你这样,但是我现在经常就穿成这样去上课了。因为我的学生很轻松,我也很轻松,我们大家很高兴。不是说职业态度不需要,而是很多技巧层面的东西会被我们的心灵超越。我们enjoy,我们enjoy一种最蓬勃的状态,在这种状态下,人有自信、有憧憬、有梦想、有未来,这就是生命中最好的学习了。龙永图:于丹 老师 讲了一个很重要的观点,就是当老师的话一定要注重“神”,而不是一种形式,一种教学 的技巧这些东西。于丹老师讲《论语》、《庄子》,讲了以后,还有些人有不同意见。我说他们就不懂得这个,我们讲这些东西的目的是什么。目的不是经院式的研讨,是让我们从古典文学这样一个非常丰富的宝库里面学到东西,使我们的人生,使我们的生活,使我们国家的整个民族素质 能有所提高。所以当老师实际上不仅仅局限于教室里面,电视的演播室,就是一个最好的教室。 -
国学大师林语堂献宝:英文学习八要诀
2008-07-26 20:45:19
林语堂先生(1895-1976),现代文学家、翻译家和英语大师。他一生共出版中文集3种,英文著作36种。他从中国人学习 英语的实际出发,提出了一系列的英语教学 方法和英语学习方法,至今仍然值得我们借鉴。一、学英文时须学全句,勿专念单字。学时须把全句语法、语音及腔调整个读出来。
二、学时不可以识字为足。识之必然兼用之。凡遇新字,必至少学得该字之一种正确用法。以后见有多种用法,便多记住。
三、识字不可强记。得其句中用法,自然容易记得。
四、读英文时须耳目口手并到。耳闻、目见、口讲、手抄,缺一不可。四者备,字句自然记得。
五、“四到”中以口到为主要。 英语 便是英国话,如果不肯开口,如何学得说话?六、口讲必须重叠练习,凡习一字一句必须反复习诵十数次至数十次,到口音纯熟为止。学外国语与学古文同一道理,须以背诵为入门捷径。每谋取一二句背诵之。日久必有大进。
七、口讲练习有二忌。
(一)忌怕羞。 学者 在课堂上怕羞,则他处更无练习机会。(二)忌想分数。一想到分数,便怕说错,怕说错,便开口不得。最后的胜利者,还是不怕羞、不怕错、充分练习的学生。若得教员随时指正,自然可由多错而少错,由少错而纯正,由纯正而流利,甚至由流利而精通。此是先苦后甘之法。
八、读节要精。读音拼写,皆须注意。马马虎虎,糊涂了事,不但英文学不好,任何学问也学不好。

刘翔:一个民族的期待
2008-07-26 20:32:08
刘翔:一个民族的期待刘翔是中国运动员的骄傲,雅典奥运会一战成名,把刘翔推到一个需要仰视的位置,而中国飞人目前夺冠的最大阻碍,小将罗伯斯也屡创佳绩。那么,刘翔是否能不负重望,在北京奥运会上成功卫冕?对此,刘翔从容地表示,“我的对手就是我自己,战胜自己我就赢了”。
The weight of a host nation's hopes will be firmly on the broad shoulders of Liu Xiang, China's defending Olympic 110m hurdles champion, come next month's Games in Beijing.
Liu became China's first male Olympic champion in athletics when he tied Colin Jackson's world mark of 12.91 sec to win the 110m hurdles final at the Athens Games in 2004.
Four years on, the 25-year-old is viewed as his country's best gold medal hopeful in track and field events at the Beijing Games.
But the Shanghai-born athlete, who was recruited into a specialist sports school at the age of 12, will be under increased pressure not just from his countrymen but Cuban upstart Dayron Robles, who snatched the world record from Liu this summer.
Liu's Olympic victory in Athens four years ago heralded unbridled opportunities for the hurdler and he has cashed in on his fame to become a popular pitchman and a millionaire in his own right.
He adorns outdoor advertising boards, promoting everything from cigarettes and soft drinks to clothing - and can incite a near-riot by appearing in public.
But Liu has shunned media contact in the build-up to the Aug 8-24 Games and requests to interview him are met with a standard reply.
"In response to your request for an interview, we deeply appreciate your interest in Liu Xiang and Chinese athletics," says the four-line message from the Chinese Athletics Association.
"Unfortunately, because of his Olympic preparations, Liu Xiang has entered into a crucial training phase and as a result he cannot speak to the media and we hope for your understanding. Thank you for your support."
His preparations have certainly been hit by the rise to form of Robles, who dethroned his archrival as the world 110m hurdles record holder by shaving a hundreth of a second off the previous best by running 12.87 sec.
The 21-year-old Cuban maintains, however, that Liu will be in pole position come the Beijing Games.
"The sprint hurdles is a very complicated event," Robles said. "I believe that at least five guys will be in a position to win gold in Beijing. Obviously, Liu Xiang is the top favorite, because of all the titles he's won.
"He's lost the world record but he continues to be the main guy to beat."
"I know Liu Xiang will be supported by a large number of people, the entire Chinese population. But I will try to attract that crowd, just try to turn the crowd in favor of Liu Xiang also to get to support me.
"When you're the world record holder then somebody else breaks your record, it's certainly a concern. And it says that of course your rivals are in good shape.
"So I believe that maybe Liu Xiang will have to reflect on that and maybe something has to be changed. He's certainly aware that his strongest rivals for Beijing are in good shape, not only myself but also the American guys and anyone who makes it to the Olympic final."
Liu said he had not been surprised by Robles' performance.
"Actually, I had expected it to happen someday, as Robles is very capable of running under 12.90 sec," he said.
"Robles has been my main rival over the past two years. Neither of us will show mercy at the Olympics, so let's wait and see what happens then."
Liu's coach Sun Haiping said the new world mark would not have a big impact on Liu's preparations but would instead add motivation for the athlete.
"It will inspire Liu Xiang to work harder. And we will continue our preparations without making changes to our training schedule," said Sun.
