英語英譯英閱讀:鄉村電商致富counties rural e-commerce
做所謂的「英語閱讀」,「讀懂」都不是問題,尤其是「讀懂」它的「中文意思」,大不了來回讀,多讀幾次,「中文意思」就「懂」了,畢竟中文是我們的母語,是「已經會說會用」了的語言。
「讀」英語時你「會不會用」英語才是最需要訓練的地方:沒有幾個人「讀」英語時「能說會用」英語的。這就是「英語閱讀」需要回答問題問題:「讀」英語時你英語「不會說不會用」,你「讀」英語,你「英語閱讀」幹什麼?
而所謂的「英語閱讀」有分兩種:一是真正的英語文章,原版也好,非原版也好,是英語文章就行。二是某個英語句子。不要說「學」某句英語,而要說「讀」某句英語句子。把它當做「英語閱讀」看待:你能說會用它的英語意思嗎?
一、英語
首先還是提醒:「讀」這段英語時「音」沒什麼大問題了吧?如果用英語發音「讀」都讀不順,「英語閱讀」還是先放一放,「練音」再說。
13 Zhejiang counties to pioneer national rural e-commerce project
A total of 13 counties in East China's Zhejiang province were included on a list of demonstration counties for China's new rural e-commerce model.
The total value of online retail sales in Zhejiang province was 1.98 trillion yuan ($282.5 billion) in 2019, up 18.4 percent over the previous year. The value for counties was 892 billion yuan, making up 45.1 percent of the provincial total.
二、「真正的」英語閱讀:「用」英語的英語閱讀
1) 13 Zhejiang counties to pioneer national rural e-commerce project
1.A county in China is smaller than a city but larger than a village or a township
在美國,a county比a city大。正好反過來。
2.If you pioneer to do something,you are the first one to do it,or you do something people never do before.
「能說」這些英語的時候,中文基本「沒有用」了:因為直接用英語「就懂」了。
So,they pioneer national rural e-commerce means they are the first ones in China to do e-commerce.
3. rural e-commerce project
我知道,很多人「讀」到英語e-comnerce都會「忍不住說」中文:電商。可是,我們看到下文的英語The total value of online retail sales了嗎?
Okay.I got you.Doing e-commerce means doing business online or doing business on the Internet That's E-commerce.
「用」中文「讀懂」e-commerce是不費吹灰之力的。中文本來就是你會了的語言,能「主動用」英語online,on the Internet「讀懂」,說明你的英語有了「學以致用」能力了。
2) A total of 13 counties were included
1.見到a total of something時,你的習慣是「努力去想中文」,還是「努力去想其它的英語詞」?
Okay.Got it.A total of 13 counties means 13 counties in all,or All in all,13 counties.
「讀」英語時「不會」也「不能」用英語才是所謂「英語閱讀」最大的問題!
2.If you're included,you are a part of something,or a member of it.
英語閱讀是「讀」來「用」英語的,不是給你「讀」來「說」中文的。
3) on a list of demonstration counties for China's new rural e-commerce model.
If you demonstrate,or if you're a demonstration,you show yourself as an example for others.You're a model(下文有詞).
能這麼「讀英語用英語」不容易。但恰恰是非英語語言環境下掌握英語最需要的能力。
4) The total value of online retail sales
Your online sale is your e-commerce sale,is your sale on the Internet.
讓英語「復現」,是非英語語言環境下學習掌握英語最重要的一環:只有用英語學英語才能讓你的英語「復現」,也就是在「用」。用中文學英語是沒有英語「復現」的。所以英語是沒有進步的:永遠都是在「學」,永遠沒有一個「用」字。
5) up 18.4 percent over the previous year
1.up 18.4 percent over the previous year means more 18.4 percent higher than the year before.
2.It's 2020 this year,so 2019 is last year.But we talk about 2002,then 2001 eill be the previous year,or the yesr before 2002,it is NOT last year.
剩下的就留作「音」的訓練吧:一次過,把「音」讀好:
The value for counties was 892 billion yuan, making up 45.1 percent of the provincial total.
Around 22,000 Zhejiang-based online stores are involved in the sale of agricultural products, generating 84.29 billion yuan in revenue, up 26.2 percent year on year.
They made up 5.7 percent of all retail in the province in 2019, 0.9 percentage points higher than the previous year.
