英语教学论课程作业习题集
英语教学论作业习题集Unit 1 Language and Language Learning1.What are the three views on language?1) Structural view on language:The structural view sees language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: from phonological, morphological, lexical, etc. to sentences. Each language has a finite number of such structural items. To learn a language means to learn these structural items so as to be able to understand and produce language.This view on language limits knowing a language to knowing its structural rules and vocabulary.2) Functional view on language:The functional view sees language as a linguistic system but also as a means for doing things. Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it. To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform the functions. This view on language adds the need to know how to use the rules and vocabulary to do whatever it is one wants to do.3) Interactional view on language:The interactional view considers language as a communicative tool, whose main use is to build up and maintain social relations between people. Therefore, learners not only need to know the grammar and vocabulary of the language but as importantly they need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative contexts. This view on language says that to know how to do what one wants to do involves also knowing whether it is appropriate to do so, and where, when and how it is appropriate to do it. In order to know this, the learner has to study the patterns and rules of language above the sentence level to learn how language is used in different speech contexts.2. What are the views on language learning?1) Behaviourist theory:The behaviorist theory of language learning was initiated by behavioral psychologist Skinner, who applied Watson and Raynor’s theory of conditioning to the way humans acquire language (Harmer, 1983) The key point of the theory of conditioning is that “you can train an animal to do anything if you follow a certain procedure which has three major stages, stimulus, response, and reinforcement”(Harmer1983: 30) Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form of behavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli. This theory of learning is referred to as behaviorism.2) Cognitive theory:The term cognitivism is often used loosely to describe methods in which students are asked to think rather than si mply repeat. It seems to be largely the result of Noam Chomsky’s reaction to Skinner’s behavioristtheory, which led to the revival of structural linguistics. According to Chomsky, language is not a form of behaviour, it is an intricate rule-based system and a large part of language acquisition is the learning of this system. There are a finite number of grammatical rules in the system and with knowledge of these rules an infinite of sentences can be produced. A language learner acquires language competence, which enables him to produce language.3) Constructivist theoryThe constructivist theory believes that learning is a process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his/her own experiences and what he or she already knows. It is believed that education is used to develop the mind, not just to rote recall what is learned. John Dewey(杜威) believed that teaching should be built based on what learners already knew and engage learners in learning activities. Teachers need to design environments and interact with learners to foster inventive, creative, critical learners. Therefore, teachers must balance an understanding of the habits, characteristics as well as personalities of individual learners with an understanding of the means of arousing learne rs’ interests and curiosity for learning.4) Socio-constructivist theoryVygotsky (前苏联心理学家维果茨基 ,1978) emphasizes interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context based on the concept of “Zone of Proximal Development” (ZPD「可能发展区/最近发展区」 ) and scaffolding「鹰架/支架/脚手架」. That is to say, learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and the learner and between learners. With the teacher’s scaffolding through questions and explanations, or with a more capable pe ers’ support, the learner can move to a higher level of understanding and extend his/her skills and knowledge to the fullest potential.3. What are the qualities of a good language teacher?The main elements of a good English teacher are ethic devotion, professional qualities, and personal styles. (Then try to explain these three elements respectively according to your own understanding)Unit 2 Communicative Principles and Task-based Language Teaching1. What is communicative competence?Hedge (2000: 46-55) discusses five main components of communicative competence: linguistic competence, pragmatic competence, discourse competence, strategic competence, and fluency.Communicative competence entails knowing not only the language code or the form of language, but also what to say to whom and how to say it appropriately in any given situation. Communicative competence includes knowledge of what to say, when, how, where, and to whom.2. What are the three principles of communicative language teaching?a) the communicative principle: Activities that involve real communication promote learning.b) the task principle: Activities in which language is used for carrying out meaningful tasks promote learning (Johnson 1982).c) the meaningfulness principle: Language that is meaningful to the learner supports the learning process.3. What are the six criteria for evaluating communicative classroom activities?1) communicative purpose2) communicative desire3) content, not form4) variety of language5) no teacher intervention6) no material control4. What is Task-based Language Teaching?Task-based Language teaching is, in fact, a further development of Communicative Language Teaching. It shares the same beliefs, as language should be learned as close as possible to how it is used in real life. It has stressed the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching.Unit 3 The National English Curriculum1. What are the designing principles for the National English Curriculum 2001?1)Aim for educating all students, and emphasise quality-oriented education.2)Promote learner-centredness, and respect individual differences.3)Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility and adaptability.4)Pay close attention to the learning process, and advocate experiential learning and participation.5)Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence.6)Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language.2.What are the goals and objectives of English language teaching?The new curriculum is designed to promote students’ overall language ability, which is composed of five interrelated components, namely, language skills, language knowledge, affects, learning strategies and cultural understanding. Each component is further divided into a few sub-categories. Language teaching is no longer aimed only for developing language skills and knowledge, but expanded to developing learner s’ positive attitude, motivation, confidence as well as strategies for life-long learning along with cross-cultural knowledge, awareness and capabilities.3. What are the challenges facing English language teachers?1)English language teachers are expected to change their views about language which is not a system of linguistic knowledge but a means for communication.2)English language teachers are expected to change their traditional role of a knowledge transmitter to a multi-role educator.3)English language teachers are expected to use more task-based activities and put the students at the center of learning.4)English language teachers are expected to use more formative assessment in addition to using tests.5)English language teachers are expected to use modern technology in teaching, creating more effective resources for learning and for using the language.Unit 4 Lesson Planning1. Why is lesson planning necessary?Lesson planning means making decisions in advance about what techniques, activities and materials will be used in the class. It is obvious that lesson planning is necessary.Benefits:1) To make the teacher aware of the aims and language contents of the lesson.2) To help the teacher distinguish the various stages of a lesson and to see the relationship between them sothat the lesson can move smoothly from one stage to another.3) Proper lesson planning gives the teacher opportunity to anticipate potential problems that may arise inclass so that they can be prepared with some possible solutions or other options for the lesson.4) Lesson planning gives teachers, especially novice teachers, confidence in class.5) The teacher also becomes aware of the teaching aids that are needed for the lesson.6) Lesson planning helps teachers to think about the relative value of different activities and how much time should be spent on them. The teacher soon learns to judge lesson stages and phases with greater accuracy.7) The plan, with the teacher’s comments and corrections, provides a useful, time-saving reference when the teacher next plans the same lesson.8) Lesson planning is a good practice and a sign of professionalism.2. What are the principles for good lesson planning?Aims— means the realistic goals for the lesson. That is, the teacher needs to have a clear idea of what he / she would like to achieve for the lesson or what outcomes are expected from the lesson.Variety—means planning a number of different types of activities and where possible, introducing students to a wide selection of materials so that learning is always interesting ,motivation and never monotonous for the students.Flexibility— means planning to use a number of different methods and techniques rather than being a slave to one methodology. This will make teaching and learning more effective and more efficient.Learnability—means the contents and tasks planned for the lesson should be within the learning capability of the students. Of course, things should not be too easy either. Doing things that are beyond or below thes tudents’ coping ability will diminish their motivation.Linkage--means the stages and the steps within each stage are planned in such a way that they are somehow linked with one another. Language3 learning needs recycling and reinforcement.3. What are macro planning and micro planning?Macro planning is planning over a longer period of time, for instance, planning for a whole program or a whole-year course.In a sense, macro planning is not writing lesson plans for specific lessons but rather helping teachers get an overall felling or idea about the course and also get familiarized with the context in which language teaching takes place. Macro planning involves the following:1) Knowing about the course:The teacher should get to know which language areas and language skills should be taught or practised in the course, what materials and teaching aids are available, and what methods and techniques can be used.2) Knowing about the institution:The teacher should get to know the institution’s arrangements regarding time, length, frequency of lessons, physical conditions of classrooms, and exam requirements.3) Knowing about the learners:The teacher should acquire information about the students’ age range, sex ratio, social background, motivation, attitudes, interests, learning needs and other individual factors.4) Knowing about the syllabus:The teacher should be clear about the purposes, requirements and targets specified in the syllabus.Much of macro planning is done prior to the commencement of a course. However, macro planning is a job that never really ends until the end of the course.Micro planning is planning for a specific unit or a lesson, which usually lasts from one to two weeks or forty to fifty minutes respectively.Micro planning should be based on macro planning, and macro planning is apt to be modified as lessons go on.4. What are the components of a lesson plan?A language lesson plan usually has the following components: background information, teaching aims (what language components to present, what communicative skills to practice, what activities to conduct and what materials and teaching aids to be used), language contents (grammar, vocabulary, functions, topics and so on) and skills (listening; speaking; reading and writing), stages (the major steps that language teachers go through in the classroom) and procedures (detailed steps in each teaching stage), teaching aids, assignments, and teacher’s after-class reflection.5. What are the 3P’s model and 3-stage model?The 3P’s model refers to presentation, practice and production.At the presentation stage, the teacher introduces new vocabulary and grammatical structures in whatever ways appropriate.At the practice stage, the lesson moves from controlled practice to guided practice and further to the exploitation of the text when necessary.At the production stage, the students are encouraged to use what they have learned and practised to perform communicative tasks. The focus is on meaning rather than accurate use of language forms.3-stage model is frequently adopted in reading lessons and listening lessons. It refers to pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading stages. The pre-stage i nvolves preparation work, such as setting the scene, warming up, or providing key information (such as key words). The while-stage involves activities or tasks that the students must perform while they are reading or listening. The post-stage provides a chance for students to obtain feedback on their performance at the while-stage. This last stage may also involve some follow-up activities, in which students relate what they have read or heard to their own life and use the language spontaneously.Unit 5 Classroom Management1.What are the main roles teachers can play before, during and after the class?Before the class, the teacher is a planner, who plans what to teach, how to teach, and what result to achieve. After then class, the teacher is an evaluator, who evaluates not only how successfully he/she has conducted the class but also how efficient the learning activities have been. Based on the functions that the teacher performs in different activities during the class, Harmer defines the teacher’s roles as controller, assessor, organizer, prompter, participant and resource-provider (Harmer, 1983).2.How to give effective classroom instructions?Proper instruction is the precondition of accomplishment of activities. To give appropriate instruction, it is necessary to follow the following principles.(1) Economy with words: the teacher should use as few words as possible.(2) Simple and clear language at all points: language should be easy to understand.(3) Demonstration of what is needed.(4) Check of students understanding: the teacher can check individual students to make sure that students understand the instruction and know what to do.(5) Use the native language when necessary.(6) Vary the instruction now and then.3.What are the different ways for student grouping?The most common student groupings are lockstep, pair work, group work, and individual study.Lockstep (Whole class work) is where all the student are under the control of the teacher. They are all doing the same activity at the same rhythm and pace. Lockstep is often adopted when the teacher is making a presentation, checking exercise answers, or doing accuracy reproduction. When the teacher asks questions, the students speak either together or one by one, in turns or indicated by the teacher.Pair work is where the students work in pairs. It could be a competition over a game or co-operation in a task or project between the two students. They could also do certain exercises together or oral practice. When the students are doing pair work, the teacher usually circulates around the classroom, answering question or providing help when necessary.Group work is where the students work in small groups. Each group has 3,4,or 5 students, depending on the activity. What students do in group work is similar to pair work, only there are more members in the group.Group work is most beneficial when the activity requires contributions from more than two students. The teacher can join each group for a while, but only as a participant not as a leader or inspector.Individual study is the stage during the class where the students are left to work on their own and at their own speed. Usually they are doing the same task, but the teacher may give them a choice of tasks. Some activities cannot be done in pairs or groups, for instance, reading and writing. People read at different speed, so they cannot read together, though two people might share one book. It seems writing can be done in pairs or groups, but what they are actually doing when they are working together is brainstorming ideas, discussing, or revising. When it comes to the real writing stage students should work individually.4.How to ask effective questions?1)Questions should be closely linked with the teaching objectives in the lesson;2)Questions should be staged so that the level of challenge increases as the lesson proceeds;3)There should be a balance between closed and open, lower-order and higher-order questions;4)Wait time is important to allow students to think through their answers;5)Students should be provided opportunities to ask their own questions and seek their own answers;6)A secure and relaxed atmosphere of trust is needed and students’ opinions and ideas are valued.5.How to treat students’ errors in the classroom?There are different ways and techniques for correcting errors, such as direct teacher correction, indirect teacher correction, self-correction, peer correction, whole classroom correction, etc. As a general rule, indirect teacher correction is encouraged rather than direct teacher correction to avoid damaging students’ self este em and confidence. Also, self-correction is encouraged before teacher correction or peer correction.Unit 6 Teach Pronunciation1. What is the goal of teaching pronunciation?The goal of teaching pronunciation is not to teach learners to achieve a perfect imitation of a native accent, but simply to get the learners to pronounce accurately enough to be easily and comfortably comprehensible to other speakers.The realistic goals of teaching pronunciation:Consistency: The pronunciation should be smooth and natural.Intelligibility: The pronunciation should be understandable to the listeners.Communicative efficiency: The Pronunciation should help to convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker.2. What aspects of pronunciation do we need to teach?1)sounds………the vowels and consonants of English2)combination of sounds…….pronunciation of words3)word stress….the stress in a word and shift of stress4)strong & weak forms…the importance of the different syllables in maintaining the rhythm of the speech, especially the model verbs and auxiliary verbs5)linkage of sounds……..the liaison of sound in natural speech6)rhyme & rhythm7)pitch & intonation…the function of pitch and intonation in conveying meaning8)filler words……the sounds which do not convey meaning but can help to maintain communication, e.g. uh huh, um, er, oh, ah, well.Unit 7 Teaching Grammar1.What are the major types of grammar presentation methods?Deductive method: the teacher presents the rule of the structure on the blackboard and explains it to the students. This would be followed by the teacher giving several examples and then asking the students to apply the rules themselves in some exercises.Inductive method: The teacher does not explain the rule at the beginning, but presents various language forms and the students are left to discover or induce the rules or generalizations on their own.The guided discovery method: is similar to the inductive method in that the students are induced to discover rules by themselves but different in that the process of the discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teacher and the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly.2.What are the major types of grammar practice activities?Mechanical practice involves activities that are aimed at form accuracy. By doing mechanical practice, the students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure. Substitution and transformation drills are most frequently used in mechanical practice.Meaningful practice the focus is on the production, comprehension or exchange of meaning though the students “keep an eye on” the way newly learned structures are used in process. Meaningful practice usually comes after mechanical practice.Unit 8 Teaching Vocabulary1.What does knowing a word involve?A simple answer would be (1)knowing its pronunciation & stress; (2) knowing its spelling & grammar; (3) knowing its meaning; (4) knowing how & when to use it to express the intended meaning.According to Hedge (2000), vocabulary learning involves at least two aspects of meaning. The first aspect involves the understanding of its denotative and connotative meaning. The second aspect involves understanding the sense relations among words.2.How can we present new vocabulary items effectively?1) Draw pictures, diagrams and maps to show meanings or connections of meaning2) Use real objects to show meanings;3) Mime or act to show meaning; ask some ss come to the front and teach some words of this kind, such as: catch, shave4) Use lexical sets. Or word series. E.g. cook: fry, boil, bake, and frill;5) Use synonymous and antonymous to explain meanings;6) Translate and exemplify, especially with technical words or words with abstract meaning;7) Use word formation rules and common affixes.8) Teach vocabulary in chunks;9) Provide different contexts in real life for introducing new words.3.What are some effective ways to consolidate vocabulary?1) Labeling;2) Spotting the differences;3) Describing and drawing;4) Playing a game;5) Using word series;6) Word bingo;7) Word association;8) Finding synonyms and antonyms;9) Using word categories;10) Using word net-work;11) Using the internet resources for more ideas.Unit 9 Teaching Listening1.What are the characteristics of the listening process?Generally speaking, listening in real life has the following characteristics:a) spontaneity: we listen to people speaking spontaneously and informally without rehearsing what they aregoing to say ahead of time.b) context: the context of listening is usually known to both the listener and the speaker in real life.c) visual clues: most of the time we can see the participants’ facial expressions, gestures and other bodylanguage as well as the surrounding environment.e) listener’s res ponse: most of the listening in daily life allows the listener to respond to the speaker.f) speaker’s adjustment: the speaker can adjust the way of speaking according to the listener’s reactions.2.What are the models of teaching listening?1)Bottom-up model: listening comprehension is believed to start with sound and meaning recognitions.2)Top-down model: listening for the gist and making use of the contextual clues and background knowledge to construct meaning are emphasized.3)Interactive model: listening involves both bottom-up processing (recognizing sounds of words, phrases or structures) and top-down processing (inferring meaning from broad contextual clues and background knowledge).3.What are the common activities in teaching listening?1) Pre-Listening activities: predicting and setting the scene2) While-listening activities: listening for the gist; listening for specific information; no specificresponses; listening and ticking; listening and sequencing; listening and acting; listening and drawing; listening and filling; listening and guessing; listening and taking notes.3) Post-listening stage: multiple-choice questions; answering questions; note-taking and gap-filling;dictoglossUnit 10 Teaching Speaking1.What are the main characteristics of spoken language?a. in fairly simple sentence structuresb. in incomplete sentencesc. in informal, simple or common vocabularyd. with broken grammar, false starts, hesitation, fillers, etc.e. with a high proportion of repetition or redundancyf. largely unplanned organizationg. a low density of informationh. context independent (Background knowledge is necessary to understand exactly what is being expressed.)2. What are the characteristics of successful speaking activities?1) Maximum foreign talk: Problems: students spend too much time to speak Chinese; the teacher talks too much.2) Even participation: encourage speaking from as many different students as possible. The outspoken students do not dominate discussion.3) High motivation: vario us interesting tasks in line with the students’ ability.4) Right language level: the task should be designed so that students con complete it successfully with the language that they have.3. What are the main types of speaking activities?1)controlled activities;2)semi-controlled activities;3)information-gap activities;4)dialogues and role-plays;5)activities using pictures;6)problem-solving activities…Unit 11 Teaching Reading1. What are the main reading skills?Skimming: the reader moves his eyes over the text very quickly just in order to get the main idea of the text, or sometimes decide whether it is worth reading more deeply or not.Scanning: the reader locates a particular piece of information without necessarily understanding the rest of a text or passage. For example, the reader may read through a chapter of a book as rapidly as possible in order to find out information about a particular date, such as when someone was born.Inferring: reading between the lines. Make use of syntactic, logical and cultural clues to discover the meaning of unknown elements. Such as the writer’s opinions and attitudes which are not directly stated in the text.【Strategic skills needed in reading:Distinguishing the main idea from supporting details; Skimming: reading for the gist or main idea; Scanning: reading to look for specific information; Predicting: guessing what is coming next】2. What are the main reading models for teaching reading?Bottom-up approach: The reader builds up the meaning of a text on the basis of decoding smaller units: first words, and phrases, then sentences and paragraphs, and finally working out the meaning of the whole text.Top-down approach: The reader uses his or her knowledge of the topic or of the type of the text and makes predictions about what the text will contain, then he uses these predictions to check his understanding of the text. In this way, the reader gets a global view of the text before he dives into the details of it.Interactive approach: The reader uses the above two approaches together, and the two ways interact with each other in the understanding of the text. That means the reader might predict the context of the text by using his knowledge of the topic (top-down), then look for key words (bottom-up) to check the prediction, or get the main gist of the text by skimming it quickly (top-down) and examine the writer’s choice of vocabulary for understanding the implied meaning.3. What types of activities can we use in teaching reading?Pre-reading Stage: The aims of the pre-reading stage is to arousing the students’ interest in the topic or type of text; motivating students to read the text by providing a purpose for reading; preparing the students for the content of the text.The activities for the pre-reading stage:1)predicting2)setting the sceneWhile-reading Stage: this stage mainly focuses on the exploitation of the text. It aims to help the reader understand the content and structure of the text, as well as the author’s purpose in writing it.The activities:。

木桶理论 英语作文
木桶理论英语作文The Barrel TheoryThe barrel theory, also known as the law of the minimum or the limiting factor principle, is a concept that has been widely applied in various fields, including agriculture, engineering, and even personal development. This theory suggests that the capacity of a system is determined by its weakest component, just like the capacity of a wooden barrel is limited by the shortest stave.The concept of the barrel theory can be traced back to the work of Justus von Liebig, a German chemist who lived in the 19th century. Liebig's law of the minimum states that plant growth is not determined by the total resources available, but rather by the scarcest resource or the "limiting factor." This principle can be applied to various systems, where the overall performance or output is constrained by the weakest or most limiting component.In the case of a wooden barrel, the capacity of the barrel is determined by the length of the shortest stave. Even if all the other staves are much taller, the barrel's capacity will be limited by the shortest one. This analogy can be used to understand how theweakest link in a chain can hinder the overall effectiveness of a system.The barrel theory has several important implications. Firstly, it emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the most limiting factor in a system. By focusing on improving the weakest component, the overall performance of the system can be significantly enhanced. This principle is particularly relevant in fields such as agriculture, where farmers need to ensure that all the necessary nutrients and resources are available in the right proportions to optimize crop yield.Secondly, the barrel theory highlights the need for a balanced and holistic approach to problem-solving. It suggests that simply adding more resources or components to a system may not necessarily improve its performance if the limiting factor remains unaddressed. Instead, a more comprehensive understanding of the system and its interdependent parts is required to identify and address the true bottleneck.In the context of personal development, the barrel theory can be applied to the concept of self-improvement. Just as a wooden barrel's capacity is limited by its shortest stave, an individual's potential may be constrained by their weakest skill or attribute. By identifying and working on the most limiting factor, individuals canunlock their full potential and achieve greater personal growth.For example, if an individual is trying to improve their overall fitness, the barrel theory would suggest that they should focus on the area of their fitness that is the weakest, rather than simply trying to improve all aspects equally. This could mean dedicating more time and effort to improving their cardiovascular endurance or muscle strength, depending on which area is the most limiting factor.Furthermore, the barrel theory can be applied to various aspects of life, including career development, relationship building, and even financial planning. By identifying and addressing the most limiting factor in these areas, individuals can make significant strides towards their goals and achieve greater success.In conclusion, the barrel theory is a powerful concept that can be applied to a wide range of systems and situations. By understanding the importance of addressing the weakest link or the limiting factor, individuals and organizations can optimize their performance, unlock their full potential, and achieve greater success. Whether in the field of agriculture, engineering, or personal development, the insights provided by the barrel theory can be invaluable in guiding decision-making and driving positive change.。

The_Skopos_theory[整理版]
The_Skopos_theory[整理版]The Skopos theory is an approach to translation which was put forward by Hans Vemeer anddeveloped in Germany in the late 1970s and which oriented a more functionally andsocioculturally concept of translation. Translation is considered not as a process of translation,but as a specific form of human action. In our mind, translation has a purpose, and the word“Skopos” was from Greek. It’s used as the technical term for the purpose of the translation翻译目的论(Skopos Theory)是一种崭新的翻译理论模式。
是德国功能派翻译学家Reiss、Vermeer和Nord等从翻译行为的目的性出发提出的一种翻译理论。
它的建立可以追溯二十世纪六七十年代,该理论将研究聚集在翻译过程中的各种目的的选择上。
具体说来,它包括三个原则:目的原则(Skopos rule),连贯原则(Coherence rule),忠实原则(Fidality rule)。
其中核心原则为目的原则“:任何翻译行为都是由翻译的目的决定的,简而言之,就是…翻译的目的决定翻译的手段?。
”这个目的可以理解为:译者的目的,译文的交际目的以及使用某种翻译手段所要达到的目的。
由于言语交际是一种有目的的活动,它传递说话人的意图,因此要确定话语意义,就必需充分考虑说话人的意图,交际场合,听话人的背景知识,态度等语境因素。

介绍理论英文作文范文
介绍理论英文作文范文英文:Introduction to Theory。
Theory is a fundamental aspect of many fields,including science, mathematics, and philosophy. It is essentially a set of ideas or principles that explain a particular phenomenon or concept. The purpose of theory is to provide a framework for understanding and explaining the world around us.In science, theory is used to explain observed phenomena and make predictions about future observations. For example, the theory of evolution explains how species change over time and how new species arise. In mathematics, theory is used to prove theorems and develop new mathematical concepts. In philosophy, theory is used to explore concepts such as ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology.One of the key features of theory is that it must be testable and falsifiable. This means that it must be possible to conduct experiments or make observations that could potentially disprove the theory. If a theory cannot be tested or is not falsifiable, it is not considered a valid scientific theory.Another important aspect of theory is that it must be supported by empirical evidence. This means that there must be observations or data that support the theory. The more evidence there is to support a theory, the more likely itis to be accepted as true.In summary, theory is a crucial element in many fields, providing a framework for understanding and explaining the world around us. It must be testable and supported by empirical evidence to be considered a valid scientific theory.中文:理论介绍。
从目的论的角度探讨财经英语英汉翻译——以《华尔街日报》翻译为例
2332020年31期总第523期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS从目的论的角度探讨财经英语英汉翻译——以《华尔街日报》翻译为例文/刘东旭翻译技巧的选择是由翻译的目的决定,而不是由翻译的原文决定的。
译者在翻译时要注重译文的功能,灵活采取多种翻译策略和技巧,不必拘泥于原文的句法结构。
本文就英语财经新闻中存在的专业词汇和长难句,以及文化差异等,结合笔者的翻译实践进行分析。
1. 词汇的翻译。
词汇是理解文章的基础,由于新闻报道涉及的专业领域和范围较广,因此在翻译的过程中首先要对新闻词汇进行准确把握和理解。
在本节中将会举例展开解释部分专有名词、数学单位和动词的翻译。
(1)专有名词翻译。
英语财经新闻虽然注重可读性,但仍会有些专业词汇,或者一些常见的普通词汇在这里有其专门的用法和释义。
①But the further paring down of SoftBank' s Alibaba stake, as well as the departure of Mr. Ma from SoftBank' s board mark aturning point in a relationship that dates to the 1990s.②Mr. Ma brought Mr. Son onto Alibaba ' s board in 2005, a position he still holds.例①②中,Board作名词时指“板,木板等”;作动词时指“上(船、车或飞机)”,而在财经英语中指董事会。
如在本文例句中,SoftBank ' s board在句中表软银董事会,Alibaba ' s board 即阿里巴巴董事会。
③The market showed it was open to giant publicstock sales last week when PNC Financial Services Inc., the Pittsburgh-based regional bank, sold its stake in money manager BlackRock Inc. for about $13 billion.例③中,在新闻文章中我们常看到Inc.,Corp.和Co. Ltd 等公司的缩写形式。
regular papers short paper
regular papers short paperRegular papers typically refer to papers that follow a standard format, such as research papers or academic essays. These papers are usually longer in length, ranging from several pages to over 20 pages, depending on the requirements of the assignment or the journal they are being submitted to.On the other hand, short papers are typically more concise and condensed versions of regular papers. They are typically used for shorter assignments or conferences where the author is required to present their ideas or research in a concise manner.Short papers usually have a word limit of around 2,000 to 3,000 words, although this can vary depending on the specific requirements. The structure of a short paper may be similar to that of a regular paper, including an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, but the content is usually more focused and to the point.While regular papers allow for more in-depth analysis and exploration of a topic, short papers require the author to be more selective and deliberate in their choice of information and arguments. The goal of a short paper is often to present a clear and concise summary of a topic or to present a specific argument or idea within a limited word count.In summary, regular papers are longer and more comprehensive, while short papers are shorter and more concise. Both types of papers have their own unique requirements and purposes, and thechoice between the two depends on the specific assignment or context in which they are being used.。
短板理论英文作文
短板理论英文作文Shortcomings theory, also known as the "deficit model," is a concept in psychology that suggests individuals have certain areas of weakness or limitations that may hinder their overall performance or functioning. This theory emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing these shortcomings in order to improve one's abilities and well-being.Shortcomings theory posits that everyone has areas in which they are not as proficient or competent as others. These shortcomings can manifest in various ways, such as in cognitive abilities, emotional regulation, social skills, or physical capabilities. By acknowledging and understanding these limitations, individuals can work towards developing strategies to compensate for or improve upon them.One of the key implications of the shortcomings theory is the idea that individuals should not be defined solelyby their weaknesses. Instead, it is important to recognize and utilize their strengths and talents in order to achieve success and fulfillment. This approach encourages a balanced perspective that takes into account both the limitations and potential of individuals.Critics of the shortcomings theory argue that it can lead to a negative focus on deficits and may overlook the unique strengths and abilities of individuals. They suggest that a more strengths-based approach, which emphasizes identifying and building upon one's positive qualities, may be more empowering and effective in promoting growth and development.In conclusion, the shortcomings theory offers valuable insights into the diverse abilities and limitations of individuals. By recognizing and addressing these shortcomings, individuals can work towards achieving a more balanced and fulfilling life. However, it is important to also consider the strengths and potential of individuals in order to promote a more positive and empowering approach to personal development.。
中文翻译_whattheoryisnot
中文翻译_whattheoryisnot理论不是什么这篇文章描述了包含一些理论而不是没有理论的论文之间的差异。
在社会科学中,关于什么构成强与弱的理论,几乎没有一致意见,但是更多的共识是引用、数据、变量、图表和假设不是理论。
然而,尽管有这种共识,作者还是习惯性地用这五个要素来代替理论。
我们解释这五个要素中的每一个是如何与理论相混淆的,以及如何避免这种混淆。
通过明确地表达这一共识,我们希望帮助作者避免一些最常见、最容易避免的问题,这些问题导致读者认为论文的理论不足。
然后我们讨论期刊如何促进更强的理论的出版。
我们建议,如果该领域真的要产生更强的理论,期刊需要重新考虑它们的经验要求。
我们认为,期刊应该更善于接受那些测试部分而不是全部理论的论文,并使用说明性而非确定性数据。
在ASQ上发表文章的作者、评论家、读者和编辑们坚持认为,也许最重要的是,文章中包含了强有力的组织理论。
ASQ的《对稿件的通知》指出:“如果手稿没有理论,它们的价值就值得怀疑。
”评论家和编辑决定不发表提交的论文的一个主要原因,有时是主要原因,就是它含有不足的理论。
本文利用我们在ASQ和组织行为研究(ROB)的社论经验,找出论文理论薄弱的一些常见原因。
作者若想写出强理论,可以从阅读各种不同的文学作品开始,这些文学作品试图界定理论,并区分弱理论与强理论。
1989年10月,管理科学研究院发表了理论构建论坛。
关于什么是理论以及社会科学中强弱理论的区别的详细描述可以找到,例如,在杜宾(1976)关于应用领域理论构建的分析,弗里斯(1980)关于形式化的评论,卡普兰(1964)关于行为的哲学探究中。
拉尔科斯,默顿(1967)的理论社会学著作,以及韦克(1989)关于学科想象的理论建构思想。
不幸的是,文学理论的建立会让读者对如何写一篇包含强大理论的论文更加困惑(Freese,1980)。
一个模型和一个理论是否能够被区分,一个类型学是否被恰当地标记为一个理论,一个理论的强度是否取决于它有多有趣,以及可证伪性是否是理论存在的先决条件。

Develop short essays by descriptiontion on the topic
SnowflakesThe cutting northeast wind has gone down with the daybreak, and a few straggling snowflakes are beginning to descend. Faster and faster they fall, shutting out the distant objects from sight. The snow falls on every wood and field, by the river and the pond, on the hill and in the valley. Quadrupeds are confined to their coverts and the birds sit upon their perches. There is not so much sound as in fair weather, but silently and gradually every slope and the gray walls and fences are concealed, and the tracks of men and beast were lost. The snow levels all things, and enfolds then deeper in the bosom of nature.Snowflakes symbolize nobility and perseverance. Though small, they keep falling and falling, and finally change the world into a land of purity beauty and new life. The falling snow is the prelude to spring and foretells a bump year.Some Unpleasant Experiences”Jack should not have taken the gymnastics course. In September, he fell off the uneven bars and got a concussion. A month later, he sprained his ankle, after a bad landing off the balance beam. He also broke the support beam in the basement of his parents’ home, showing them his skills when he was home for the December holidays. In January, he broke his thumb when he caught it on the bar of the pommel horse. His academic luck was no better than his physical luck: he failed the final exam in February in his gymnastics course. The result of his bad luck was that he failed to graduate in May, due to the lack of two hours of physical education credit.My First Day in a New SchoolI walked through the school-gates with butterflies in my tummy. Would I like this school? Would my classmates like me? Would the teacher be strict? All these thoughts were buzzing in my head as I mounted the stairs to my new classroom. I stood by the teacher’s desk facing the class, and was introduced. I trembled as I felt their eyes all gazing critically at me. The teacher seemed kind and slipped her arms around my shoulder as I faced the stare of the class. Then classes began. I listened to the teacher’s words, concentrating on my work, and forgetting my apprehension and fears. During the recess the girls crowded round me to find out all about me. They seemed to be good-natured and I soon found myself accepted as their friend. At the end of the day I walked home happily as all my worries of the morning had dissolved to nothing. This new school would be a happy place for me.How to move houseMoving house is a major upheaval in people’s lives. Before the men come to actually move the furniture, many things must be done in preparation. All the toys, normally strewn around the house, must be gathered together and put into large boxes for easy transportation. All books too must be put away in an orderly fashion so as not to be damaged in transit. Drawers and wardrobes should be empted and their contents carefully packed. Pictures should be taken down from the walls and wrapped with proper cloth. And lastly, don’t forget to take down all the curtains and blinds. Soon everything is prepared and the removal men arrive. All the boxes and furniture are loaded into the lorry. A quick check is necessary to make sure the flat is empty and the lorry is off on its way to the new flat.Knowledge and investigationKnowledge often results only after persistent investigation. Albert Einstein, after examination of the characteristics of matter and energy, formulate his famous Theory of Relativity, which now acts as a basis for further research in nuclear physics. Using plaster casts of footprints, finger prints, and stray strands of hair, a detective perniciously pursues the criminal. After years of work Annie Jump Cannon perfected the classification of the spectra of some 350,000 stars. Investigations into the causes of malaria have provided us with the means for prevention and cure for of this dreaded disease only after many years of research. As students, we too are determined to find, retain, and contributes to the store of human knowledge.The Problem for the Mobile Phone CompaniesIn these years, the phone companies have been competing to bring out the latest kind of the same devices, but they didn’t bother finding out if consumers wanted them. Now they realize their mistake, but too late. Nothing illustrates this problem facing the mobile phone industry better than the smart phone. With over 30 different types of smart mobile phones available, this is one example of a popular kind of smart mobile phone which has been made in too large numbers. The smart mobile phone public, it seems, has lost its taste for new varieties of smart phones, whoever have made them and whatever they are.Preparing for the Chinese New YearPeople attach great importance to the Chinese New Year, thus with several things to do as a must to prepare for the celebration at this festival. First, people do a thorough cleaning, sweeping the house and wiping the windows. When the cleaning is done, they start to decorate the house. Spring Festival couplets are put on the wall. For more decorations, many families in the south go to the flower market to buy kumquat plants and peach blossoms. Having decorated the house, people go shopping to buy new cloth es and new shoes to wear on New Year’s Day. They also buy lots of food and prepare the New Year cakes.ABC ParkAs parks go, ABC Park is what I like most. First of all, it is large, as most of the flat ground is taken up by three football pitches and two rugby pitches. On one side of the park, however, there is a patch of trees through which a rive winds. An attractive path runs beside the river, and there are flower-beds with interesting shrubs and flowers. On the other side of the park from the river there are more sports facilities: three tennis courts and a bowling lawn. Near these, tucked into a corner, there is a children’s playground with swings, seesaws and model vehicles. One of the pleasant features of the park is the fact that it is entirely surrounded by trees.A Beach SceneDifferent people enjoy doing different things. This is certainly reflected in this beach scene. Some like to sit in the shade, watching the splashing waves in the blue sea and listening to the rhythmic sounds. They think that is the most enjoyable thing to do on a beach. Others prefer basking in the sun, not content to leave without an impressive suntan. But primarily the beach is for children. They rush around up and down in the sandy beach, in and out of the water. In a quiet corner a few children sit with buckets and spades, building sand-castles. Yet other smaller children step tentatively into the water to try out paddling, making sure that Dad is not too far away.The Problem of Housing in Beijing/Wenzhou/Shanghai…The problem of housing in Beijing is worse for the migrant workers. Why? The reason is that people who emigrate are almost always the poor guys. They must look for cheap apartments, and cheap apartments almost cannot be found. There are cheap apartments only in the worst areas, and in those areas the building are very old, very damp, and full of rats. There are buildings that almost never have heat. There are buildings which many times should be closed up by the health department. As a result, in many cases the poor migrant workers who arrive in the city will be left with no choice but to go ahead and live in that kind of undesirable building.Student Groups in Our School”Students in our school fall into three groups according to their different intentions of taking part in sports. Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study. These students put much more emphasis on their study efficiency than on the fun of sports. They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind. Thus they don’t’ actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on the sports ground or not. Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers. Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a game. They take part in the sport that interests them most, not caring whether it is most beneficial to their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants. The third group wants beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong; girls want to be slim and graceful. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do, and they are afraid that certain sports may ruin their figures. No matter which group they belong to, they all benefit from sports.A Tornado”What is a tornado? A tornado is a usually brewed on a hot, sticky day with south winds and an ominous sky. From the base of a thundercloud a funnel-shaped cloud extends a violently twisting spout toward the earth. As it sucks in matter in its path, the twister may turn black, brown or occasionally even white (over snow). The moving cloud shows an almost continuous display of sheer lightening. The funnel is very slender: its wake of violence generally averages no more than 400 yards wide. As the tornado approaches, it is signaled by a roar of hundreds of jet planes or thousands of railroad cars. Its path is a path of total destruction. Buildings literally explode as they are sucked in by the tornado’s powerful whirling winds. The amountof damage depends mainly on whether the storm happens to hit populated areas. The tornado’s life time is as brief as it is violent. Within a few tens of miles it spends its force and suddenly disappears. In short, it is a particular kind of whirling, highly destructive windstorm.How I Missed a Train/a Bus/a Plane/etc.”It was a sultry mid-autumn afternoon. As I was to leave for Beijing by train at 6 p.m. and stay in the train the whole night, my experienced aunt stressed that the first important thing for me to do was to get some sleep. As my aunt insisted, I went to bed and slept. Soon my exhausted aunt also fell asleep. The hypnotizing high temperature tended to make people sleep like a log, and we woke up to find it was already 5 o’clock.My aunt’s home was quite a long way f rom the railway station, so I suggested that we should go without supper. But my aunt insisted that a good meal was absolutely necessary. Six dishes were put on the table twenty minutes later. Just as I picked up the chopsticks, my brother brought up the subject of his girlfriend and asked me to say something nice about her when I saw Mother. I argued against it, because I had never talked with the girl and knew nothing about her. My brother was very much annoyed, not to say that the argument cost me five more precious minutes!When my aunt and I finally arrived at the station, we found another aunt of mine had been waiting there for some time. After a long and affectionate exchange of farewells, I turned to find the passenger’s gate already closed. Looking at my watch, I saw there were only five minutes left!The three of us rushed to the passengers’ gate and banged on the metal rail, begging the inspector to open the gate. But nobody seemed to hear us.I was both anxious and furious. Just as I was doing so, I heard the sound of the siren. My disappointment was so great that I almost fell from the fence.Jogging and Taiji ”.Jogging is, in many ways, an ideal form of exercise. After all not much learning is required to learn how to run. No expensive equipment is needed: roads are available everywhere. No special kit is needed; jogging can be done in designer shorts or tatty jeans. No other people are needed, unlike many sports where an opponent is needed. A jogging session can be fitted into the daily schedule at any time to your convenience. Like jogging, the ancient Chinese form of exercise Taiji requires no facilities. No equipment or kit is necessary and it can be practiced alone and in any place. It is not uncommon to see elderly people, in groups or separately, practicing their Taiji in the park in the early morning. They use Taiji to warm up their muscles, slowly encouraging their joints to unstiffen.Jogging and Taiji have much in common. For many other sports, special place, kit, equipment, and opponent (or partner) are needed, but these two do not have any requirement in these respects. You do not need to find someone to jog or do Taiji with you. Furthermore, these two can be done anywhere at any time. Just as you can jog along roads available everywhere, so you can practice Taiji anyplace. You may choose to jog or practice Taiji early in the morning or late at night, or any time at your convenience. Indeed, jogging and Taiji are both ideal forms of exercise.My Father“I hate the bloody stuff,” my fat her used to say, tossing down straight shots of whiskey. “Ah…” once he had conquered the agony of getting it down, he glowed with the pleasure of it. His response to life was a little like his reaction to whiskey, which he hated and loved. My father had a mercurial Irish personality, and his facial features could be just as changeable.My father was Irish in the extreme and abrupt changeability of his moods. In the middle of intense anger, he could break himself up laughing. Once when I had driven a seven-inch spike, on which I had planned to hang my saddle, completely through the side of our garage, through the wall, the outside of stucco and all, with the point of the nail glaring at my father from the outside, he flew into one of his rages. “…!...!” he screamed, “don’t you know you should hammer a nail into the studs, not into the siding? And why in hell did you use such a big nail?” I stood there, sheepishly, taking my “what-for” from my father, when suddenly he burst into laughter, covering his mouth with his hands as he always did with a big laugh. He finally said, “How in hell did you do it?” True, I was only nine years old at the time, and I had worked very hard banging at that big nail before I got it through the wall. Though what Ihad done had made him mad, my father could also appreciate my effort.Besides being quick in altering his moods, my father could change dynamically in his facial expression. He had very thick and very long eyebrows that, together with his dark eyes, probably said as much or more than any other part of his bony face and body. When he was mad, his eyebrows whipped about and then lowered so that his eyes almost disappeared except for the fire that I could see or feel was in them. When he was joyous or sentimental in song (he could not sing; he knew it, but he tried anyway), his eyebrows would lift into an arch above his nose. At the top of the arch, they pointed heavenward, like a steeple, and under the steeple, his eyes glowed multicolored, like the windows of a fine old church.These memories of my father go back many years, but time has sharpened rather than dimmed the most outstanding aspects of his personality and face that I remember. If he were alive today, I’m sure my father would look at this portrait and say, “I’m damned if that isn’t me!”。

Short boபைடு நூலகம்rd theory
What a vivid picture it is ! Water is flowing out of a wooden barrel through its short board. At the bottom of the picture is the sentence “ the shortest board in the wooden barrel decides its capacity; the weakest point in one’s character decides his development”. What the picture delivers is that we should pay much attention to our weak point.
Famous as it is, the wooden barrel theory should be taken more seriously by youth who are at critical moment at developing their characters and accumulating knowledge. Youth are always keen on improving their strong point because they depend on the strong point to be more competitive. However, numerous examples prove that it is the weak points that make people fail. The early division of arts and science in current education system leads to the shorts board of some students. Many students majoring in engineering ignore the study of English. As a result, they lose tons of promotion opportunities in the career. Arts students who lack the study of science also find that their logical thinking needs to be improved. Both arts and science students should strengthen their “ short board”.
For anyone who has ambition to achieve great success, his weak point is the first enemy he needs to conquer. Having no weak point is the strongest point of a man. Pursue an all round development, and then you will have more chance to win.
