英語英譯英閱讀:《新概念第三冊》 L1 Paw prints were seen
一、「音形義」閱讀課文。切記:音形義三者都必須是英語的
切記:如果真正做英語閱讀」,任何「英譯漢」式英語閱讀都是失敗的。
Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.
The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ?
「學」英語,就只學三樣東西:「音形義」,而且都必須是英語的,不能是中文的!
只是很多人所謂的「英語閱讀」其實還只是停留在解決「音」和「形」都必須是英語的階段,還根本談不上解決「義」的問題:英語的「義」也罷,中文的「義」也好。連讀都讀不好讀不順,也寫不出,考慮「什麼意思」沒有意義,用中文「深挖」無法,更沒有任何實際意義:新概念英語閱讀絕對不能變成英語應試教育的延伸和補充。應試教育英語學不好也就算了,還「連累」到新概念英語。
二、英語閱讀:音形義都是英語的
1) Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes.
1. The feet of some animals like the tigers like the cats,or the birds ste called paws,ee don't call them feet.
So,a paw is a foot
這樣的英語「不會說」,「會說」paw是中文「爪子」,有什麼意思呢?
2.Paw prints are paw marks on the ground.
3. Paw prints were seen in a number of places means Paw prints were observed ,or noticed,or spotted in many places
能這麼用英語「讀懂」英語,能把學過的英語用起來,藉助中文理解就多餘了。
4.Puma fur is puma hair on its body.
2) everal people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.
這句英語「怎麼用英語說?」
1.When we complain of something,we complain about something,we say we sre not happy about something,or someone,we are not satisfied with them.
能把complain of「說成」英語not satisfied with才是「最狠」的英語閱讀,說成中文「不滿」,「發牢騷」算是英語閱讀嗎?
2. a businessman on a fishing trip means a businessman who was fishing
3) The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ?
If we are fully convinced of something or someobe,we completely believe them to be true.
我希望我們的「英語閱讀」是給我們「有機會說」英語believe,而不是「說」中文「」深信」。
比對這樣的「英語閱讀」,我們的英語閱讀路正長。
