雅思翻译练习一文档

一．Education
1.许多经济困难的家长担心，贫穷将制约他们孩子的学业和
职业发展。

然而，我相信，穷人家的孩子实际上可能反倒有一些优势，这是有钱的家长无法给予他们后代的。

2.但是，这并不意味着官方课程总是富有成效的。

教育工作
者应该明白，每个人都有不同的特点和能力。

3.尽管如此，应该指出的是，将聪明的学生与同龄人分开，
并非是没有缺点的。

一些教育界人士认为，这样的班级会缺乏学生领袖和榜样。

4.我认为，重要的是确保儿童不过度使用电脑。

家长必须保
证他们的孩子学会享受其他形式的活动，而不是仅仅坐在家里，在一个虚拟世界中学习生活。

5.身处当前金融风暴和裁员大潮的环境下，多数大学生将他
们未来工作的稳定性置于首位考虑完全是情理之中的事。

相应地，他们也倾向于将大学看做是教授工作所需技能的机构。

6.从现实角度来讲，大学的管理层很难对未来三四年后各种
技术的需求量作出准确判断，因为在很多领域里技术都是以天为单位在不停更新的。

7.所以，大学的真正作用应该体现于在设立注重培养工作技
能的核心课程的同时，还要向学生提供那些介绍他们感兴趣的专业内理论知识的选修课程，这样就能帮助学生在掌握工作技能的同时，将来还有能力对这些技能进行创新。

8.过度强调死记硬背无疑会约束学生的学习进程。

9.对于托儿所、学前班和其他低龄教育程度的孩子来说，让
他们去记忆知识比让他们去分析知识要好得多。

10.另外，远程教育在经济的性价比上对比传统学习也极具优
势，远程教育的学费要更低，而且住宿、膳食以及旅行费用也都可以忽略不计了。

11.尽管有不少人认为，考试能衡量出一个人的知识水平，但
实际情况恰恰相反，这是有目共睹的。

要想考察一个人死记硬背的本事和在极大压力下快速答题的技巧，考试或许是个不错的办法。

12.更重要的是，通过校园教育，学生和老师之间可以在现实
中培养出一种类似导师关系的感情关系，而远程教育则因为教师和学生物理距离的遥远而做不到真正的感情沟通。

答案：
1.Many needy parents are concerned that poverty will hold
their children back in their academic and professional development. However, I believe children raised in poor families may actually have some advantages that rich parents cannot give their offspring.
2.However, this does not mean that the official curriculum
is always productive. Educators should be aware of the fact that individuals have different characters and abilities.
3.Still, it should be pointed out that segregating intelligent
student from their peers is not without its own downside.
4.I think the main point is to make sure that young children
do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply at home, living in a virtual world.
5. In the midst of financial turmoil and massive layoffs, it is understandable that the majority of universities students regard their future job security as a pressing priority.
6.From the realistic perspective,/ Realistically/, it would be very hard for university administrators and faculty to determine what technical skills and knowledge will be needed three or four years from now as in many areas/fields is updating itself on a daily basis.
7. The main function of universities, therefore, should be built on core curricula that stress the fostering of employment skills while at the same time, provide students with electives on the theoretical aspects of their fields of
interest, which not only facilitates their grasp of job skills but ensures their capacity to apply these skills innovatively as well.
8. Overemphasis on rote memorization, doubtlessly inhibits the learning process.
9. Daycare and kindergarten children and lower-elementary students are far better at remembering data than at comprehending concepts and theories.
10.Additionaly, distance learning is more cost-effective than conventional instruction as the tuition rates are lower, the housing and meal plans are not an issue anymore and the travel expenses are next to nothing.
11. Though some people believe that exams could weigh one’s knowledge level, the truth is just the opposite, as is obvious to all.
Exams may be a not-so-bad solution to test the ability to remember something by rote or to answer questions quickly yet under great pressure.
12.More importantly, campus-based education tend to foster
a mentoring partnership between educators and learners while in reality, distance education rarely helps to establish a mentoring relationship between the faculty members and the
students, due to the long physical distance.。
