英語英譯英閱讀:They realize dreams of prosperity(海南咖啡致富)
給下面這段英語給你「讀」:你會「怎麼讀」?
把英語「讀」成中文算是「英語閱讀」嗎?既然全是用中文理解,它跟中文閱讀有什麼區別?對你的英語提高有什麼益處?
從語言掌握最基本的「音形義」三要素分析:有的人可能連「音」的關都沒有過:還處於反覆讀好幾遍才能把某個詞,某個句子「讀流暢」的狀態。這樣的人還不適合做英語閱讀訓練,還是先把「音」練好再說。
有的人可能「音」「形」都沒過關:不信你試試把下面的英語一個字母都不錯地寫下來試試,做得到嗎?
一個「音」「形」都還不能做到「同步」的人根本無暇顧及英語閱讀中的「義」問題:把「義」完全理解成英語,而不再是中文。所以,也還不適合過多涉及英語閱讀問題。先把基本功打紮實再說。
只有「音」「形」已經過關,不再滿足於「用」中文「懂」英語,「義」指的不再是「中文意思」,而是「英語意思」時,你到了好好訓練純正的「英語閱讀」的家門口了。
Okay.Let's go!
一、英語
Hainan residents realize dreams of prosperity
Coffee production in Fushan, Hainan province, has brought prosperity to farmers.
China is known for its tea, but most residents of Fushan township on the tropical island province of Hainan have become accustomed to starting their day with a cup of coffee. Xu Shibing is one of them.
Xu, manager of the Fushan Coffee Industry Co, has worked in the trade for about 20 years, helping farmers grow and sell coffee. He has also put the township on the road to prosperity.
The plantation has helped 27 other impoverished people in the township improve their lives. Another 1,000 local residents have sought jobs in the industry.
二、英語閱讀
1) Hainan residents realize dreams of prosperity
1. Okay.I got you.If you realize your dream of doing something,you make your dream come true.
把英語realize dreams和make dream come true發生「橫向聯繫」,互為解釋,而不是讓它「指向」中文「如願以償」。
2.So, to realize your dream is to make your dream come true and to make your drram come true is to realize your dream.
英語就是要「音形義」不斷重複和同步:這就是英語閱讀要做的工作。
3.Hainan residents means Hainan local people.If you live in a place for a long long time,you're a resident,or one of the local people there.
英語閱讀的關鍵就在於你「讀」英語的時候,能不能像我這樣「說」英語?
4.Your dream of prosperity is your dream of becoming rich,or dream of living a prosperous life.
你「學」英語的不足之處就在於簡單英語prosperity,「想不起」也「說不出」英語prosperous,也就是英語永遠「只學不用」,或「學而不用」。所以,你多年都在「學」英語,其實沒什麼意思。
2) Coffee production has brought prosperity to farmers.
1.When you produce coffee(coffee production),you grow coffee and you make coffee.
一個英語Coffee production就能「引發」我們「說說」英語,這樣的英語閱讀何樂不為,怎麼會「讀如嚼蠟」?
2.has brought prosperity to farmers.
If something has brought prosperity to us,it has made us rich,or wealthy.We all have money and a good life.
3.China is known for its tea
China is known for its tea means China is famous for its tea.China is well-known for its tea.China is renown for its tea.China is reputed for its tea.
我相信很多人見到高中英語is known for時做不到「主動使用」上面的英語詞。
所以,要想「英語好」,你知道你的英語裡「最缺的」是什麼嗎?除了用中文學一些「學了也用不上」的「地道實用」的英語口語外,還有「主動運用」英語的能力,而後者才是「命門」。
3) most residents have become accustomed to starting their day with a cup of coffee
If you're accustomed to doing something,you're used to,or get used to doing it.
如果能替換成其它英語就能理解,為什麼還要把英語翻譯成中文理解?
英語閱讀要解決的「大方向」對了以後,剩下的就是「簡單事情重複做」,不斷重複一個機械動作知道形成肌肉記憶(muscle momery)。
