The Reader has long been the black sheep of the EFL (English as Foreign Language) classroom. 【61】
Teachers either ignore Readers, or neglect and abuse them, failing to recognize their learning potential.
The reason for this can no longer be laid at the door of the publishers. Nowadays, a vast range of material is produced suitable for all interests, age ranges, and ability levels. It is more probably the attitude of the teacher, and thus, the student, which is responsible. Are any of the following close to your own attitude, or familiar to you from conversations with colleagues? Readers are an expensive luxury. The school cannot afford them. Other things must come first.
I am trying to get through a fairly dense syllabus to equip my students, ultimately, for examinations; I cannot spare the time for frills. Reading for pleasure is a private and personal thing. I cannot see how this can be used in the EFL classroom. 【62】
I understand that extensive reading for pleasure can only improve language, but I have no way of checking that learning has taken place other than comprehension questions.
These activities reduce the pleasure.
【63】
The above are explanations, excuses, reasons and justifications from teachers talking about the scant use of Readers in the classroom.
Their comments illustrate three views prevalent at present. First, those teachers feel that time spared for Readers will in some way deprive their students of certain key language skills and abilities. Second, those teachers are fostering or even pandering to students’ reluctance to read for pleasure. 【64】
Finally, those teachers are unaware of how to use and exploit Readers in their classrooms and, therefore, provide a limited range of activities, Which, in turn, limits the responses of their students.
【65】
If teachers take Readers into classroom with any one, ore combination of the above attitudes, this will be imparted to the students who will then also believe that Readers are preventing them from doing something more important and are a waste of valuable learning time.
They read only to enable them to answer a comprehension task.
It is up to the teacher to convince the reluctant students that reading, either extensive or intensive, is pleasurable. Only one of many ways of obtaining pleasure is to be able to answer the teachers’ comprehension check questions the following day. The world of reading will remain, and still be as inaccessible as ever to the students.
选项
答案
由于认识不到读物的教学潜能,教师们要么无视读物,要么忽视或者滥用读物。
解析
本题的翻译要注意三个方面。一是对于句子的分词状语failing...potential的翻译。由文意和汉语习惯可知,这一分词状语表达的实际上是一种原因,因此在翻译时应当把它当作一个复句来处理。二是固定搭配either...or...的翻译。三是词汇的翻译。根据全文意思可知,Reader(s)在此不是指“读者”,而是指“读物”。此外,应注意体现出原文中ignore与neglect两词的语气与褒贬。
