学术英语critical thinking
学术英语critical thinkingCritical thinking is a key component of academic English. It refers to the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate information and arguments, demonstrating a high level of intellectual rigor and independence.In academic settings, critical thinking involves questioning assumptions, examining evidence, considering different perspectives, and developing logical and well-supported arguments. It requires individuals to be open-minded, curious, and willing to challenge their own beliefs and biases.Critical thinking helps students engage critically with academic texts and sources, allowing them to identify and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of arguments and evidence. It also enables individuals to construct well-reasoned and persuasive arguments of their own.In addition, critical thinking is essential in research and problem-solving. It helps researchers identify research questions, design appropriate methodologies, and analyze and interpret data objectively. It also assists individuals in making informed and rational decisions by considering multiple viewpoints and weighing the potential consequences.Developing critical thinking skills takes time and practice. It involves honing analytical and logical reasoning abilities, improving information literacy skills, and fostering intellectual curiosity. Through critical thinking, individuals can become moreeffective learners, communicators, and problem-solvers in academic and professional contexts.。
Critical Thinking
如何理解和翻译“Critical Thinking”？我虽然以前就听说过在国外很流行的“Critical Thinking”（以下简称CT，在中国通常翻译成“批判性思维”）这套思维体系，但对此并没有深入的认识和了解，最近在接触西三一大学的“商业领导力”课程（第一门课程就是有关CT的）时，才开始认真琢磨到底什么是CT和我们该怎样很好地运用CT。
一、CT的起源。
CT是1941年作为美国教育改革的一个主题由美国学者Edward Glaser提出来的，但其后由于美国出现了麦卡锡主义思潮，所以CT没有得到足够的重视。
到1970年代，CT再次成为美国教育改革运动的焦点，这期间，美国洛克菲勒基金会还曾在一项美国生活人文研究报告中强调：美国教育部门应该把CT作为个人的一项基本能力加以训练和培养。
又自1980年代开始美国与苏联展开太空竞赛而大力推动科学研究，因此CT大受推崇，真正成了气候。
1994年，美国总统克林顿签署“美国教育法案”，正式将critical thinking 列入全国性的教育教学目标。
1987年的“CT与教育改革国际会议”上，英国人Michael Scriven与美国人Richard Paul（当代美国CT领域的权威人士）共同发表声明，指出CT并非单一的思想方法，而是一系列思想方法的综合体，包含科学思维、数学思维、历史思维、人类学思维、经济思维、道德思维、哲学思维。
没有一种CT适用于任何人，任何人都可能出现非理性的想法。
因此，每个人都要终生努力培养CT的技巧和习惯。
二、CT的定义。
CT这个概念本身经过大半个世纪的发展和实践，也在不断地充实和完善，大致有这几个很重要的概念定义和内涵：第一，1941年原创者Edward Glaser的定义。
T he ability to think critically, as conceived in this volume, involves three things: ( 1 ) an attitude of being disposed to consider in a thoughtful way the problems and subjects that come within the range of one's experiences, (2) knowledge of the methods of logical inquiry and reasoning, and (3) some skill in applying those methods. Critical thinking calls for a persistent effort to examine any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the evidence that supports it and the further conclusions to which it tends.这种思考能力，包含了三个要素：1）全方位思考问题的态度，2）逻辑探究和推理论证的学问，3）运用这些方法的技巧。

最近关于科学的演讲稿英语
最近关于科学的演讲稿英语Recently, there has been a growing interest in the field of science, and for good reason. Science has the power to shape our understanding of the world and drive innovation in countless industries. In today's rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever to stay informed about the latest scientific developments and to understand their implications for our lives and our future.One of the most exciting aspects of science is its ability to inspire and captivate audiences through engaging and informative speeches. Whether delivered by scientists, educators, or enthusiasts, these speeches have the power to spark curiosity, provoke critical thinking, and foster a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.In a recent speech about science, I had the opportunity to delve into the fascinating topic of quantum mechanics. This branch of physics, which deals with the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels, is both mind-boggling and awe-inspiring. I discussed how quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of the universe, challenging our conventional notions of reality and opening up new frontiers in technology and engineering.Another important theme in my speech was the role of science in addressing pressing global challenges, such as climate change, public health, and sustainable development. I emphasized the need for evidence-based decision-making and the importance of scientific literacy in shaping policies and public discourse. By highlighting the contributions of scientists and researchers in these critical areas, I aimed to underscore the relevance and impact of science on our daily lives.Furthermore, I touched upon the ethical considerations and responsibilities that come with scientific advancements, stressing the importance of ethical conduct and responsible innovation. As science continues to push boundaries and push the limits of what is possible, it is crucial to ensure that these advancements are used for the greater good and do not cause harm to society or the environment.In conclusion, my recent speech about science sought to convey the excitement, relevance, and ethical dimensions of scientific inquiry. By exploring cutting-edge research, addressing global challenges, and emphasizing the ethical imperatives of scientific progress, I aimed to inspire my audience to appreciate the beauty and significance of science in our modern world. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the 21st century, a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and critical thinking will be indispensable for shaping a better future for all. Thank you.。
英语泛读教程2criticalthinking文章的翻译
英语泛读教程2critical thinking文章的翻译在美国，critical thinking是一个非常重要、出现频率很高的词，在学校里经常听到老师、学生们这么强调，可能已经到了陈词滥调的地步。
我手头一本高中世界史教科书上，每章后面的练习的题目样式，第一是名词解释，然后是名词辨识、回答问题，最后一项就总是Critical thinking.Critical thinking的中文流行翻译是“批判性思维”，但我觉得并不很贴切。
Critical一词的希腊词源是动词krinō，意思是“挑选、决定和判断”，krites 是观察家、法官、仲裁人之意，kritikos 是指有观察、思考和决定能力的人。
所以，英文中critical也有几个意思，评论、批判、挑剔、选择标准苛刻、审慎的、严谨的、经得住校勘的、重要的、不可缺少等等意思。
而中文的“批判”听上去实在颇多贬义，就像不是好态度似的。
所以有人竟写文章说我们要从“批判性思维”进入到“建设性思维”，实际上这个词的英文原意跟破坏和捣乱——所谓建设的反面简直毫无联系。
只是不轻信别人，强调经过自己的分析、论证和试验，挑选你认为最重要的和正确的，强调人的独立思考和判断能力。
这是一种逻辑思考能力，也许也是一种人格能力乃至政治权利，因为自己选择和评判往往也意味着自己负责，如果人不希望别人对自己负责也不希望自己对自己负责，就不需要这种自己思考的能力，别人说什么你听、你服从就是了，最后自然由发命令的人来负责一切。
为什么美国文化特别强调critical thinking，估计跟它的民主政治和个人主义价值观也有关。
而中国为什么没有这种思路、这种强调，跟中国的政治形式和价值观也有关。
我个人非常喜欢这个词。
28岁在美国第一次听见这个词的时候，真是激动万分。
当时就有一种如沐春风、整个世界都被照亮和打开的感觉。
以前的很多困惑和想法都茅塞顿开、迎刃而解。
大部分老师喜欢爱提问题的学生，尤其问题提得聪明尖锐又充满建设性和怀疑精神，那是对老师也有促进和提高作用的。

批判“批判性思维”－谈谈英文criticalthinking一词的中文翻译
批判“批判性思维”－谈谈英文criticalthinking一词的中文翻译批判“批判性思维”－谈谈英文critical thinking一词的中文翻译－宋国明我很想谈谈美国文理学院教育中一个极为重要的概念，英文叫做critical thinking，但我发现这个词已经被略懂英文的人译成“批判性思维”了，但较懂英文的人一看便知这是按照时下流行的“一对一傻译法”直译的结果。
我个人觉得这是恶译劣译，不愿意用它，但我又不能在整篇博文里不断中英夹杂地老说critical thinking critical thinking，对不对？无法可想，我只能先批判一下“批判性思维”这个翻译，说明它何以是个恶译劣译，然后才能舒舒服服的、心安理得的，用我认为较妥贴的翻译“审辩式思维”来指critical thinking。
用思维或思考来翻译thinking都没有太大的问题，主要问题是用“批判性”翻译critical是否恰当？当然，英文critical一字可能有批判的意思，所以我们才有今天这一话题可资谈笑。
但我们别忘了批判不是它唯一的意思，不同的含义在中文就应该有许多不同的翻译，语意才清楚，是吧？例如，critical moment是紧要关头，不是批判性关头；病人的critical condition指的是他病况危急，不是批判性病况；critical element是不可或缺的部分，不是批判性的部分；critical temperature在物理学上是临界温度，不是批判性温度；critical period在语言学上指的是关键年龄，不是批判性年龄（日本人把它译成“临界期”，依我看也够傻的）；如果您还不信，我最后再举一例，critical age过去用来指妇女的更年期，不能译成批判性年纪吧？我的英文字典American Heritage Dictionary里给critical列了几个意思，专门的不说，我们这里只看最前面两个：（1）inclined to judge severely and find fault；（2）characterized by careful, exact evaluation and judgment。

英语作文批评演讲稿范文
Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I would like to address a significant issue that often goes unnoticed in the realm of public speaking – the lack of critical thinking. As we all know, public speaking is an essential skill intoday's world, where effective communication is the key to success. However, merely delivering a speech is not enough; we must also ensure that our message is well-researched, well-structured, and thought-provoking. In this essay, I will criticize the prevalent lack ofcritical thinking in public speaking and emphasize its importance.Firstly, let's delve into the reasons behind this issue. One of the primary reasons for the lack of critical thinking in public speaking is the pressure to perform. Many speakers, especially those new to the field, feel the need to impress their audience with dazzling words and impressive figures. As a result, they often overlook the importance of thorough research and logical analysis, leading to shallow and unconvincing speeches. Moreover, the abundance of online resources and the ease of accessing information have made it easier for speakers torely on others' work without critically evaluating it.Secondly, the lack of critical thinking in public speaking is evident in the use of unverified facts and opinions. Many speakers tend to regurgitate information without verifying its accuracy, which can leadto misinformation and confusion among the audience. This not only undermines the credibility of the speaker but also hampers theaudience's ability to make informed decisions. Additionally, speakers often fail to distinguish between facts and opinions, presenting their personal beliefs as facts, which can be misleading.Furthermore, the absence of critical thinking in public speaking canlead to a one-sided perspective. Speakers often focus on a single viewpoint, neglecting to consider alternative perspectives and arguments. This not only limits the depth of their analysis but also fails to engage the audience, who may have different opinions and experiences. A well-crafted speech should encourage a healthy exchange of ideas and foster critical thinking among the audience.To address this issue, we must prioritize critical thinking in public speaking. Firstly, speakers should invest time in thorough research, ensuring that their facts are accurate and their arguments are well-supported. This involves cross-referencing information from multiple sources and critically evaluating the credibility of each source. Secondly, speakers should develop their analytical skills by analyzing different perspectives and arguments on a given topic. This will enable them to present a more balanced and thought-provoking speech.Moreover, we should encourage speakers to question their assumptions and biases. This can be achieved through peer review and constructive feedback. By having others critique their work, speakers can gain insights into their blind spots and improve their critical thinking skills. Additionally, we should promote the importance of critical thinking in public speaking through workshops, seminars, and educational programs.In conclusion, the lack of critical thinking in public speaking is a significant issue that undermines the credibility and effectiveness of speakers. By prioritizing critical thinking, we can produce well-researched, well-structured, and thought-provoking speeches that engage and enlighten our audience. Let us strive to cultivate a culture of critical thinking in public speaking, as it is an essential skill for success in today's world.Thank you.。
