适应校园生活——来自世界各地的访谈

塔尼娅?扎茹茨卡娅莫斯科,俄罗斯

去年的这个时候,我对新生活感到很紧张。我没有朋友,也是第一次离开家。一开始,我一天到晚都在忙功课:上课,并且学习到深夜。

可后来我意识到我错过了大学里许多其他活动。一天,跟我住同一幢宿舍楼的一个女孩儿邀请全楼的人去参加一个晚宴。我不知道她在哪儿买的那些吃的,也不清楚她怎么会有足够的钱。而且她穿得像个模特儿。我真不知道她干嘛还要费那劲儿上大学!现在我结识了许多有趣的人,既努力学习,也快乐地生活。

米古尔?方斯卡瓜达拉哈拉,墨西哥

刚上大学的时候,我尽量把教授们在课堂上说的每一句话都记下来。结果是我光忙着记笔记,都顾不上听讲了。我现在学的是化学,现在学的东西似乎都比我们在中学里学的复杂。不过我意识到,在大学里,你应该更多地去听、去思考。现在,我已弄清新知识和过去所学知识之间的差别了。

弗兰辛?博内里昂,法国

我刚来时,这所大学似乎很大,也很不友好。一开始,我觉得很难适应缺乏指导的自由生活。上中学的时候,我已经习惯了晚上做家庭作业。

如何使用每月的生活费也让我感到很头疼。你得买食品、书、公交车票、衣服等东西,这和小时候在家花零花钱大不一样。每学期的钱是一次性汇来的,所以一开始我总觉得手头相当宽裕。然后我就大手大脚地花钱,搞到后来每天只能吃一个三明治!

我现在认识到家长或老师不再有照顾我的责任了。长这么大第一次,我该自己打理自己的生活了……可我却不知道该怎么办!

这一观点招致了不少批评。大家认为这种理论过于简单化,论据不足,而且偏袒英语(好像只有英语才能够“最有效地”展开论述似的)。俄罗斯学生尤其不认同卡普兰对他们的看法。

不过,卡普兰的研究成果至少提醒了我们一点:要想熟练地掌握英语(或任何语言)写作的能力,仅仅掌握句子层面的结构是不够的——我们需要在更高层次的组织结构上下工夫,学会运用重复和比喻等修辞手法。

并且,我们可能大都认同这样一种观点,即来自不同文化背景的人会以各自不同的方式提出论点或者讲故事。即使我们很难或是根本不可能阐明其差异,但仅仅是意识到这些差异的存在也有助于我们加深对彼此的理解和认同感。

误解并不仅限于言语。由于肢体语言和手势在一种文化中表达一个意思,可在另一种文化中又表达另一个意思,这很容易造成困惑。比如说,刚到中国的西方人看见有人盯着他们看,觉得很奇怪,因为这让他们觉得很尴尬、很难为情。其实,中国人只是好奇而已。

与西方不同的是,在中国,观众为演讲者或演员鼓掌,演讲者或演员也随即鼓掌以感谢观众,这是很平常的事。然而在英国,自己鼓掌就不太恰当,可能还显得不够谦虚。

在有些集市上,卖家允许你自己挑选水果和蔬菜,而在另外一些集市上,卖家可能要坚持替你挑选。最好的方法便是入乡随俗。也就是说,留意当地人的做法,看他们是不是自己挑选物品,将物品放入碗中或者篮子里,然后交给卖家。

在集市上,或者更准确地说,在销售食品、衣服或明码标价的集市上,讨价还价是很少见的。唯一的例外是“跳蚤市场”,也就是二手货和古玩市场。如果可以讨价还价,你需要先了解相同的物品在其他货摊上卖多少钱,然后让卖主先告诉你价格,你再还价,或者更确切地说,你给的价格可以大约是卖主出价的40%,这样就有望达成双方都满意的价格。

她还建议父母在把孩子送到夏令营前考虑一下孩子的年龄以及送他们去的原因。尽管夏令营是快乐度暑假的一种方式,但却不应该变成仅仅为在职父母提供托管服务的机构,特别是在孩子不愿意参加的情况下。

最令人难过的夏令营故事发生在一个8岁的小女孩身上,她每天晚上都哭着入睡,而她刚刚离异的父母却认为,将她送到为期一周的夏令营、去忙着划小船打排球,可以让她暂时忘掉烦恼。

生态旅游

作为一个有头脑、负责任的旅行者,你可以做几件事以避免影响或毁坏你参观过的风景名胜区。认识到旅游所产生的经济、文化及环境效应是非常重要的。你在旅行中付出的越多,你从中得到的就越多。

了解目的地。这不仅仅意味着读读旅行指南。比如说,走之前,你可以留意一下有关旅游目的地的新闻与时事。或者试着学几句当地的语言。

尊重当地的习俗与传统。比如说着装要得体,拍照时要小心谨慎。要记住,在你看来恰当的举止不一定会被另一个文化所接受。记住你不仅仅是名游客,你还是位客人。

不要炫富。你随身携带的东西,如照相机、手表及珠宝首饰等,有可能在你和当地人之间造成隔阂。把这些东西收起来。

节约资源。要知道,作为游客,你可能会消耗日益稀少的珍贵自然资源,如水、木材及食品等。建在茫茫旷野中的大旅馆比家庭经营的小旅店要消耗更多的资源。

遵循不留痕迹的原则。把你带来的所有东西,如包装盒、纸、垃圾等,全都带回家。不要把不是你带来的或是会对环境造成影响的东西带回家,比如植物或用动物制品制作的纪念品。

支持当地的经济。比如说,品尝当地的食品,乘坐当地的交通工具,在当地的饭馆就餐,光顾当地的市场,雇用当地的导游。重要的是,你在当地花的钱创造了就业机会。尽量避免随大型旅游公司去旅行。

继续你的旅行。乘飞机回到家以后,你的旅行并没有结束。你还可以做更多的事情,比如说,你可以和你去过的那些地方以及你见过的那些人保持联系,与亲朋好友分享你的经历,仔细研究一下你学到的东西。通过支持一些合适的保护机构来保持你的兴趣。试着写篇文章,投寄给当地的报纸或杂志发表。

如果你不喜欢旅行,那你当初为什么要离开家呢?

冷气候,热习惯

在芬兰,冬天漫长而寒冷,温度很少在零度以上,长夜漫漫,似乎没有尽头。另外,那些生活在该国最北部地区的人们还得应对“极夜”,一段连续51天、太阳永不升起的日子。

但是芬兰人发明了一种保持温暖、快乐的方法——桑拿。在芬兰,几乎每一栋房子都有一间桑拿房。在这个只有500多万居民的国家里,估计有多达200万间的桑拿房。

桑拿房历史久远,有关桑拿房的最早文字记载可以追溯到12世纪。最初,桑拿房只是在地上挖的一个坑,加热后用于洗澡。但是后来,随着定居人口的增多,桑拿房变成了独立于主宅的地上房间。但是,今天大多数现代家庭的浴室里除了淋浴喷头和浴缸外,还有桑拿设备。而且,桑拿房的功能也发生了变化,如今人们将它用作休闲享乐的场所。

从本质上讲,桑拿是不用烟囱的一团火。石头被放在火上以储存热量。当你往石头上泼水时,它就释放出大量的热气,瞬间弥漫整个屋子。

对于芬兰人来说,早在童年时代桑拿就是他们生活的一部分,是与家人或朋友分享的人生经历。洗桑拿浴时一般(但不是规定)要全身赤裸,因此通常(也不是规定)男人和女人轮流洗桑拿。公共桑拿房里有各自独立的男士桑拿间和女士桑拿间。桑拿的目的就是为了放松和出汗。桑拿之后,你可以冲个澡,或者干脆到外面雪地里跑跑。有些人还跳进附近的湖里!(芬兰有20万个湖。)

但是,桑拿对身体有益吗?对此人们的观点各不相同。例如,虽然有些人认为可以通过桑拿减肥,但是大多数医生反对这么做。支持桑拿的更为现实的观点包括桑拿可以改善血液循环、排除毒素、治疗呼吸道疾病以及舒缓肌肉疲劳。而且,芬兰医学会的研究表明,那些经常洗桑拿的人患感冒的机会减少了30%。

当然,对芬兰人来说,桑拿的作用既是生理的,也是心理的。冬天,当室外已是一片冰天雪地的时候,在桑拿房里放松休养是生活在北方的一种乐趣。

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼,不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成,因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎,任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁,都会走过来看着本杰明,见他初试失败,便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙槽口,进行必要的重新定位,并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑,似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉,似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到,这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关:考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式,揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此,不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式

我的中国同行,除了少数几个人外,对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的,既然孩子还很年幼,还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作,让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴,他还能早些学会做这件事,进而去学做更复杂的事,如开门,或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以(也应该)示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理,解释道,首先,我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心,而且在探索,这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于,在这个过程中,我们试图让本杰明懂得,一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好,画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说,他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境,在这些情境中,一个人必须学会独立思考,学会独立解决问题,进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来,当时我就清楚地意识到,这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时,他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反,他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到,这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为:他们是在恪守中国传统,把着手教,教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts."

Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way .

Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers.

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢?它们会得到加强还是削弱?作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿,在芝加哥长大,就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁,过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方,先是在伦敦,1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年,他放弃美国护照,成为英国公民,因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要,”他说,“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友,又喜欢你所做的事情,那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒,但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利,现在经营着一家法国技术公司,该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而,尽管曼德尔全球到处跑,已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间,但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人,”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and
