Section_ⅣOther_Parts_of_the_Module[原文呈现]Different Countries, Different Schools It is interesting to look at differences between schools in different countries①. In many European②countries, for example, the relationship③between teachers and students is quite formal④. This is true of⑤France, Germany, and Spain, where discipline and respect for the teacher is considered very important⑥. The same is true of Russia. In northern European countries, however, the relationship between teachers and students is much⑦friendlier⑧and more relaxed⑨. In America, students and teachers are quite relaxed with each other. In Britain, relationships are quite relaxed, but teachers can have big problems with⑩discipline.Another important difference is whether schools are state schools or private schools⑪. State schools are paid for⑫by the government, but in private⑬schools, the parents pay for the education of their children. Germany and France have both state and private schools, but most students go to state schools, which are very good⑭.Similarly⑮，America has both state and private schools. Most American children go to state schools, but the private schools can be very good. Britain has both state and private schools. In Russia, children go to state schools.[读文清障]①此处指的是两两之间，故用between，句中的it 是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语to look at ...②European adj.欧洲的③relationship/rI’leIʃnʃIp/n．关系④formal /’fɔːml/adj.正式的(反义)informal adj.非正式的⑤be true of适用于；对……适用⑥where引导定语从句并在从句中作地点状语。

⑫pay for支付；付款⑬private adj.私人的；私立的private schools私立学校⑭which are very good 为非限制性定语从句which引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。

⑮similarly /’sImIləli/ad v.同样地；类似地不同的国家，不同的学校[课文译文]了解不同国家的学校之间的差异是很有趣的。

例如，在很多欧洲国家，师生关系很正式。

在法国、德国和西班牙，也是如此，在那里纪律和对老师的尊敬被认为是很重要的。

俄罗斯也是这样。

但是，在北欧国家，师生关系要更友好而且轻松得多。

在美国，师生之间的关系非常轻松。

在英国，师生关系也非常轻松，但老师在纪律方面会遇到大问题。

另一个重要的不同点在于学校是公立学校还是私立学校。

公立学校由政府拨款，而私立学校则由学生家长付学费。

德国和法国既有公立学校又有私立学校，而大多数学生上很好的公立学校。

同样地，美国既有公立学校，也有私立学校。

美国的多数孩子上公立学校，但私立学校会很好。

英国既有公立学校又有私立学校。

在俄罗斯，孩子们上公立学校。
