新编大学英语2第二册课文翻译Unit 1 善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯 J 布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。
他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。
我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。
对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。
他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。
2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。
因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。
但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。
”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。
不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。
即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。
对他来说这是一种自豪。
4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。
这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。
一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。
曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。
5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。
他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。
6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。
他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。
如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。
7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。
但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。
8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。
当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。
他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。

Book II Unit 2 Communication ProblemsTeaching Objectives:In this unit students are required to:1)get to know some useful information concerning the topic of the reading passages in this unit .2) do some preparation activities such as discussion, group work, etc. to practice their spoken skill andcommunicative skills;3) grasp some new words and try to use these words which help them to enrich their vocabulary;4) read the in-class reading passage in a limited time and grasp some expressions and grammatical points in the in-class reading passage to improve their reading comprehension;5) do some post-reading exercises and some after-class reading to practice what they have got to know in class to improve their English comprehensive skills.;6) translate some typical sentences into Chinese or English by using some expressions learned in the reading passages to acquire some translating skills and better their translating abilities.Student Level: Grade 2005 level 1 2005-2006 II termUseful Information: (10MIN)Learning a second language is never easy, and, generally speaking, the older one is when one attempts a new language, the more difficult it becomes. This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures.All languages have obligatory categories of grammar that may be lacking in other languages. Russian---unlike English---has an obligatory category for gender which demands that a noun, and often a pronoun, specify whether it is masculine, feminine, or neuter. Another obligatory category, similarly lacking in English, requires a verb state indicating whether or not an action has been complicated. Therefore, a Russian finds it impossible to translate accurately the English sentences “I hired a worker” without having much more information. He would have to know whether the “I” was a man or woman, whether the action had a completive or non-completive aspect ( “already hired” as opposed to “was in the process of hiring” ), and whether the “worker” was a man or a woman.Likewise, when translating an English story into Chinese in which a character identified as cousin appears, a Chinese translator requires to know whether it refers to a male or a female, whether the character is older or younger than the speaker, and whether the character belongs to the family of the speaker’s father or mother. Therefore biaomei ( 表妹)can be translated into English only by the awkward statement “a female cousin on my mother’s side and younger than I ”. of course, the translator might simply establish these facts about the character the first time she appears and thereafter translate the word as “cousin”, but that would ignore the significance in Chinese culture of the repetition of these obligatory categories.The Russian/English and Chinese/English examples illustrate the basic problem in any translation. No matter how skilled translators are, they cannot take the language our of the speech community that uses it.Translation obviously is not a simple two-day street between two language. Rather, it is a busy intersection at which at least five thoroughfares meet------the two languages with all of their peculiar characteristics, the cultures of the two speech communities, and the speech situation in which the statement was uttered.The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting linguistic gender difference among native speakers of English is the likelihood of women using these color terms to differentiate between shades of purple, whereas, men will be satisfied with the one word “purple”. This is true of other color words too. Words like “beige”, “ecru”, “aquamarine”, “off-white”, etc. are quite common in a woman’s active vocabulary but absent from that of most men. Similar sorts of differences exist elsewhere in the English vocabulary. There is, for instance, a group of adjectives which have, besides their specific and literal meanings, another use of indicating the speaker’s approval or admiration for something. Some of these adjectives are neutral as to the sex of the speaker: either men or women tend to use them. But another set seems, in its figurative use, largely confined to women’s speech.Thus, when learning a language, we sometimes need to pay attention to which sex uses which words, particularly when we reach an advanced stage where we are adding many new words to our vocabulary and want to use them accurately. We also need to pay attention to some of the multiple meanings that words have, as well as to their connotations.Part One PreparationI.Saying Things Sincerely or Sarcastically (10)The students divide themselves into several groups, choose a group leader, then they each say one sentence about another. The rest of them will judge if the sentence was made sincerely or sarcastically.The sentence may be about any aspects: appearance, interest, opinions, life, etc.II.Telephone Chains. (15)The class will be divided into many groups. The first student of each group will be given a massage by the teacher. The message should be whispered from one person to the next. The last person should repeat the message loud. The group that gets the message through with the least changes wins.samples:1)John’s mother bought him a lovely cat.2)There are thirty boys and twenty-two girls in our class.3)I cannot understand why you get so angry with me.4)I was talking to a girl I just met several days ago.III. Enjoy a joke. (10)Read the following joke and discuss in groups what made you laugh and what caused the problem in communication in the joke.A city man had a new car and decided to try it out by driving in the country. He was so happy with his car that he didn’t notice where he was going, and he soon became lost.He stopped when he saw a farm boy walking along the road, and he said, “Hello, boy.”The boy replied, “Hello yourself,” and scratched his head.The man asked, “Where does this road go?”Th e boy answered, “It doesn’t go anywhere. It’s always been right here.”The man then answered, “Don’t know, I’ve never measured it.”The man was disgusted and said angrily, “You don’t know anything, and you’re the biggest fool I’ve ever met.”The boy replie d, “I know I don’t know much, and I may be a fool, but at least I’m not lost.”In this joke, the problem is that the boy always took what the man said literally. In fact, when the man asked “Where does this road go?”, he expected that the boy would tell h im that the road went to a certain place. But instead, the boy didn’t catch what the man meant and his answer seemed irrelevant. The same thing happened with the question “How far is it to the next town?”. Therefore, the reader may think the boy is stupid. But surprisingly, the boy’s last remark was very clever: “I know I don’t know much, and I may be a fool, but at least I’m not lost.” This made the man seem stupid.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesPre-Reading (30 MIN)Discuss the following questions with your partner.1)Do you agree that men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words?Are there any examples in your daily life that may support your point of view?---Yes, I agree. Male students are more direct, and female speakers are more indirect or tactful. For instance, if a man says “You don’t look good in that dress”, he means what he says. In contrast, a woman might say “That’s an interesting dress you’re wearing”, when she actually means she doesn’t like the dress. She is trying to be tactful.----Usually, when people say something, they try to make themselves understood by expressing the literal meaning. But on some occasions, the same words can have different meanings. For example, when a woman falls in love, her words to her lover may imply something special. What she says that she feels cold, she might actually man that it’s time for the man to move closer to her. In that case, it is an invitation to the man to hold her hands, or to put his arms around her.2)Besides the gender difference, are there any other differences that may cause people to speakdifferently?---I think, besides gender differences, differences in social position, education background, culture, occupation and age may also cause problems in understanding each other.---In my opinion, those who speak the same language may express themselves differently because they have different personalities, likes and dislikes, or value systems. All these work together to lead to different personal styles or ways of communication.Passage reading (20MIN)This passage is taken from the very popular book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, by John Gray. In this passage, Dr. Gray explains the source of miscommunication between men and women.The main idea of the whole text should be discovered by the students by scanning the text and finishing the exercise 1 in the reading comprehension part on page 45.I.New words and phrases in the passage.1. encounter(l.1): v. 1) experience something, especially problems or oppositionEg. I）We encountered serious problems when two members of the expedition were injured.II）The more dangers we encounter, the harder we should push forward.III) The young scientists encountered many difficulties during their exploration.3)meet, especially unexpectedly; come uponeg. I) Yesterday, I encountered an old friend on the street.II) I first encountered him when studying at Cambridge.n. a meeting, especially one that is unplanned, unexpected, or briefeg.I) She didn’t remember our encou nter last summer.II) A bus ride from New York to Miami brings encounters with all kinds of people.2. mis-(l.13) prefix1) bad or badlyEg.

I) Some like the older ways of doing things.II) Our teacher is showing us a new method of writing.Mean: v.1)intend a particular meaning when you say somethingeg. I) I meant you’d better be careful.II) So what he means is that we’ll have to start the whole thing again.2)Have or represent a particular meaningeg. I) the red light means “Stop”.II) “What does ‘Konbanwa’ mean in English?” “It means ‘good evening’.”3)Intend to so something or intend that someone else should do somethingEg. I) I didn’t mean to interrupt your work.II) I never meant him to watch all those TV programs.5. tend (l.23)/ intend(ll.25-26)Tend: v. (to) have a tendency or disposition to do or be something; be inclinedEg. I) The machine does tend to overheat.II)She tends to be nervous before her lectures.Intend: v. have in mind; planEg. I) Today, I intend to finish reading this book.II) We intend this news report as teaching material for freshmen.6. as if (l.22)/ as though (l.50)1) in a way that suggests that something is true or not true.Eg.

I) That news reporter always sounds a s if he’s caught a cold.II) You make it sound as if you have to go without water for days on end.nguage points1)Everyone knew that people from Mars and people from Venus spoke different languages, so when therewas a conflict they didn’t start jud ging or fighting but instead pulled out their phrase dictionaries tounderstand each other more fully. (para 2)Here “judge” means “form an opinion about someone, especially in an unfair or criticizing way.”Eg. He just accepts people for what they are and he doesn’t judge them.2)If that didn’t work they went to a translator for help. (para.2)Here, “work” is an intransitive verb meaning “be effective or successful”.Eg. How long does a sleeping pill take to work?3)You see, the Martian and Venusian languages had the same words but different meanings depending onthe way they were used. (para 3)The word “see” means “understand” or “realize” and the expression “you see” is used when the speaker is explaining something.Eg. Well, you see, that is what I want to say.4)For example, when a woman says, “I feel like you never listen,” she does not expect the word “never” tobe taken literally. (para 4)The word “take” means “consider, understand”Eg I take from what you say that you don’t feel well today.5)Because they misunderstand the intended meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive manner.(para 5) “intended meaning” 想要表达的意思6)“I want to forget everything.” (para 5)Here，“forget” means “deliberately put something out of one’s mind and do not think about it any more.”7)“I want more romance.” (para 5)“romance” here means “love or a feeling of being in love.Eg. The romance had gone out of their relationship.’8)You can see how a “literal” translation of a woman’s words could easily mislead a man who is used tousing speech as a means of conveying only facts and information. (para 6) “means” 单复数同形，谓语动词应该根据句子的具体含义选择适当的形式。

However he could not find anything wrong with her. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests directly to Mrs. Black's doctor. The next morning, he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.Mrs. Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a meeting.When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you.""Done all my shopping?" she asked in surprise. "But how did you know what I wanted?""Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone," answered her husband, "so I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down."Of course, Mrs. Black had to tell him that he had bought all the things the doctor did not allow her to eat!Listening I I1 1. British English --- American English 2. sound, words and expressions, --grammar 3. confusing --- different --- understandable--- each2. British EnglishI don’t know.What do you say?jumpertrouserschipschemist’s shopring them upHave you got an extra pen?Script:American and British people both speak English, of course, but sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say all the letters in each word. For example, Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know", or they may say "Whaddya say?" instead of "What do you say?"Sound is not the only difference between British and American English. The two languages have different words and expressions for some things. For example, some words for clothing are different. Americans use the word "sweater", but the British say "jumper". Americans wear "vests" over their shirts, but British people wear "vests" under their shirts. Americans talk about "pants" or "slacks", but the British talk about "trousers". The British chips are American French fries. A British chemist is an American drugstore. In Britain, if you are going to telephone friends, you "ring them up". In America, you "give them a call".There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb "do" with the verb "have". They might say, "Do you have an extra pen?" The British often ask the question a different way. They might say, "Have you got an extra pen?"These differences can be confusing when you are learning English. But when the same language is used in different places, it is understandable that it changes in each place.Listening III11-6 T F F F F T21) small 2) pie 3) pine 4) big 5) small 6) pint 7) half 8) German9) warm 10) brown 11) English 12) a packet of 13) in the evening14) fried potatoes 15) crispsScript:Nick: Hi, Dieter. OK?Dieter: Oh, hi, Nick. Yes, I'm fine, except that I had a big problem ordering my drink.I didn't think my English was so bad!Nick: Your English is very good! What kind of problem?Dieter: Well, look at this beer I've got here—this warm, brown, English beer—it wasn't what I wanted!Nick: Why, what did you ask for?Dieter: Well, I just asked for a small beer. Then the barman asked what type of beer and said lots of names that I didn't understand—and something about a pie or a pine. I didn't understand anything!Nick: Oh, no! He probably said a pint! In English you don't ask for a big or a small beer. You ask for either a pint or a half. A pint's the big one.Dieter: So this one I've got here is a half?Nick: Yes, that's a half of bitter. Bitter's the name for that type of beer.Dieter: Ah, that's what he said—bitter! Well, it's very different from the beer we drink in Germany, I must say.Nick: Yes, I know. They call the German type of beer lager. So you have to ask for a half of lager, or a pint of lager.Dieter: OK. I understand that now. My another problem was chips. I asked for a packet of chips, and the barman said something strange—that they don't have chips in the evening, only at lunchtime. What did he mean?Nick: Yes, they have fish and chips, but I think you meant crisps. In England, chips are fried potatoes, you know, French fries. The ones you buy in a packet are crisps. Dieter: Well, in the end I didn't get anything to eat. So you see, I did everything wrong!Listening IV11-5 F T T F T2Examples: 1. MEN 2. HIS 3.

It really makes me angry! When talking about the settling of the western part of the U.S., it says, "MEN by the thousands headed west." Then on the very same page it says, "The average citizen in the United States is proud of HIS heritage."Mr. Jones: What's wrong with that? It's true. I don't understand why you are angry. Mrs. Jones: Why? Because women are left out!Mr. Jones: Everyone knows when the author says "men" or "his" in those sentences that the author means to include women.Mrs. Jones: I think you are wrong. When young people read these sentences, they simply do not form a mental image which includes females.Mr. Jones: Mm. Do you have other examples?Mrs. Jones: Yes I do! This book mentions "MAN-made improvements that have raised America's standard of living". A child will not think that females as well as males have made contributions when reading this.Mr. Jones: I still don't think it's very important.Mrs. Jones: Of course you don't! You're a man. But don't you want our daughter and other little girls to have the idea that they can be important citizens in their country, just as other women have been in the past?Mr. Jones: Well, I guess you're right.

That's not far from your home.Julia: Which hotel? I didn't hear you clearly.Michael: Wanghu Hotel.Julia: OK! What time?Michael: Mm, how about 12:30, tomorrow afternoon?Julia: OK, see you then.Michael: OK. OK, see you then.(In front of Wanghu Hotel, Michael is waiting. But Julia is waiting in front of Huanhu Hotel.)Michael: (He Looks at his watch, talking to himself.) It's 1:35 now!

I'm not late! I was waiting somewhere else! Believe it or not, I was waiting in front of Huanhu Hotel!Michael: Oh, my goodness! I've been waiting here for one hour. How come you went to Huanhu Hotel? I told you to come to Wanghu Hotel.Julia: But it sounded like Huanhu Hotel to me! You should've pronounced it more clearly.Michael: I'm sorry, but...but it never occurred to me you would have confused the two.Julia: I wish I'd realized that sooner, so that I wouldn't have waited there for so long. You know what? When you called yesterday, my mom had a group of friends over. They were so noisy that I could hardly hear you.Michael: That's why. Then how did you figure out that it might be here—Wanghu Hotel?Julia: Did it ever occur to you that we might be waiting at two different hotels? Michael: I guess not. I thought you were delayed by traffic or something.Julia: No! You don't think. Whenever we meet, we always have one problem or another.Michael: But last Saturday was all right. We had no trouble whatsoever seeing each other.Julia: It's always me who is waiting for you.Michael: That's not true! Wasn't I waiting for you today? And do you still remember the day when we went boating? I waited for you for about half an hour!Julia: If you don't want to wait for me, then wait for someone else.Michael: Julia, it's not that. You know what I mean.Julia: You just don't love me anymore.Michael: Of course I do. That's why I'm here. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have waited here for an hour.Julia: But you never say "I love you" any more.Michael: Do you think I have to repeat the same three words all the time? Actions speak louder than words.Julia: But if you don't say it, how do I know?Michael: Come on, Julia. Don't be childish. Are we speaking the same language?

In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job which shows the differences between men's and women's ways of talking. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.Listening III1-5 F T F F TScript:Walking down the street, a dog saw an ad in an office window. "Help wanted. Must type 70 words a minute. Must be computer literate. Must be bilingual. Anequal-opportunity employer."The dog applied for the position, but he was quickly refused. "I can't hire a dog for this job," the office manager said. But when the dog pointed to the line that read "An equal-opportunity employer", the office manager sighed and asked, "Can you type?" Silently, the dog walked over to a typewriter and typed a letter without a mistake. "Can you operate a computer?" the manager inquired. The dog then sat down at a computer, wrote a program and ran it perfectly."Look, I still can't hire a dog for this position," said the office manager. "You have fine skills, but I need someone who's bilingual. It says so right in the ad."The dog looked up at the manager and said, "Meow."Listening IV1 1-6 T F T F T T2 1) an American education 2) fluent English 3) misses 4) nice5) little things 6) walking the dog 7) weather 8) snowy9) sunshine 10) boots 11) umbrella 12) a big smileScript:Ramon Romero is a seventeen-year-old boy from Bolivia. He speaks Spanish and a little bit of English.Ramon lives in the United States now, in Little Rock, Arkansas, with the Hutchinsons. They are not his real family. His real family is back in Bolivia. They cannot come to America because they have jobs and duties in their country and aren't able to leave. However, they do want their son to have an American education and be fluent in English.He misses his family and wishes to see them. It seems that no one understands his true feelings. It is difficult to listen to English all the time and then to express his thoughts in English. His American family is very nice to him and helps him in every way. In return, Ramon does little things to help the family. For instance, he takes the dog for a walk every morning and every evening.When he comes back from the morning walk, he tells Mrs. Hutchinson about the weather. This tells her how to dress her four-year-old son. On Tuesday, Mrs. Hutchinson asks, "How is the weather today?"Ramon answers, "It rain.""No, Ramon, in English we say, 'It's raining.'"On Wednesday, it rains again."It's raining today," reports Ramon.On Thursday, it snows. On Friday, the sun finally shines. Ramon is very happy that he doesn't have to wear boots or carry an umbrella. He comes into the house with a big smile on his face."How's the weather today?" asks Mrs. Hutchinson."Oh, today I am very happy," replies Ramon. "There is no weather."。

With his small salary, he lived from paycheck to paycheck. To realize his dreams, he needed a really big income. He felt the best way to become wealthy was to study the stock market and learn how to invest in stocks.

新编大学英语第二版Book2 Unit1-4课文原文加翻译Unit 1 A Good Heart to Lean OnMore than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.[1] When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance , people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.[2] It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient —and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you. ”[3] Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.[4] When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn , N.Y., on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home..[5] When I think of it now, I marvel at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And I marvel at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.[6] He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able . What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.[7] Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people , even though I still don't know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.[8] Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager , he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.[9] On one memorable occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving .He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, “I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! ”[10] Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive even before the bout began.[11] I now know he participated in some things vicariously through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different. ” Those wordswere never said aloud.[12] He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of anoth er's good fortune, when I don't have a “good heart”.[13] At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.” ( 703 words)【译文】善良之心，久久相依1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。

Unit TwoCommunication problemsTeaching Objectives1. Let the students have some ideas of the common ways we usually use in our daily life to communicate.2. Make the students find the efficient ways to communicate with each other.3. Let the students come up with the ways to avoid misunderstandings. Teaching allotmentsix academic hoursFocus points1.key words and phrasesassume, conflict, convey, emphasis, ignore, misinterpret, react, verge, feel like, for effect, on the verge of, pull out, take----lightly2.difficult sentences1) When Martians and Venusians first got together, they encountered many of the problems with relationships we have today.2) So when communication problems emerged, they assumed it was just one of those expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other.3) To fully express their feelings, women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and use various superlatives, metaphors, and generalizations.3.grammar focusprefix “mis---”的不同意义Related InformationIt is well-known that learning a second language is never easy, and, generally speaking, the older one is when one attempts a new language, the more difficult it becomes. This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interestinglinguistic gender difference among native speakers of English is the likelihood of women using these color terms to differentiate between shades of purple, whereas, men will be satisfied with the one word“purple”. This is true of other color words too.Basing on what mentioned above, when learning a language, we sometimes need to pay attention to which sex uses which words, particularly when we reach an advanced stage where we are adding many new words to our vocabulary and want to use them accurately. We also need to pay attention to some of the multiple meanings that words have, as well as to their connotations.Suggested Class Activities1. Warming-up activity: How to communicate efficientlyPurpose: Inform the students the efficient way to communicate with each otherStep 1Discuss in groups about the common ways we usually use in our daily life to communicate and try to list both their advantages and disadvantages.Step 2 Make a comparison between them and decide which is the most efficient way for us to communicate with others.Step 3 Ask some of the students to give their ideas in public and point out the necessary points they should know in daily communication.Suggested words/expressions:admirable/neglect/comprehend/over-crowded/distinguish----from/holdback/in a different light/turn out.2. In-class reading activity: What can we get from communicationPurpose: Inform the students the good points of communicationStep 1. Discuss in groups why we need to communicate with othersStep 2. Try to analyze what communication has brought to usStep 3. Then make sure what we should learn from communicating with othersSuggested words/expressions:foreigner/uncommon/feel like/for effect/on the verge of/pull out Further development:How to avoid misunderstandings in communicationAfter reading this unit, we may know that in our communications misunderstandings are quite common, so work in groups to come up with the ways to avoid misunderstandings and make it on your exercise book.In-Class ReadingWords and phrases1.assume v.1) believe something is true without definite proofe.g. You assumed his innocence / him to be innocent /that hi is innocentbefore hearing the evidence against him.He is not such a fool as you assumed him to be.assuming that---：假定----e.g. Assuming that you are right about this, what shall we do?2) to take up or undertakee.g. You will assume your new responsibilities tomorrow.assumption : n. sth. taken for granted ; sth. supposed but not provede.g. Don’t rely on the information she gave you---it’s pure assumption on her part. on the assumption that----以---为设想根据e.g. Let’s work on the assumption that our proposal will be accepted.Exercise:1) 他并非如你所以为的那样愚蠢。
