42、 民众进行沟通。He wanted to reach out to his old friends 他想和他的老 朋友联系一下。课文翻译学外语学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历。虽然时常遭遇挫折,但却 非常有价值。我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心,时常 表扬学生。出于这种积极的教学方法,我踊跃回答各种问题,从不怕答错。两年 中,我的成绩一直名列前茅。到了高中后,我渴望继续学习英语,然而高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以 前老师对所有的学生都很耐心,而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答 错时,她会用长长的教鞭上下挥舞着指着我们,大声喊道:“错!错!错!”没 有多久,

43、我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣,而且压根就 不想再用英语说半个字。然而这种情况没持续多久。到了大学,我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与 高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼,他们没有哪个带教鞭!但是情况却 远不尽人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无儿。上了儿周课后, 我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然情况 与高中时不同,但我却又一次不敢开口 了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。直到几年后我有机会参加了远程英语教学课程,情况有所改善。远程教学 课程的交流是通过一台电脑、电话线和调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并 跟一个朋友学会了电

44、脑操作技术,于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学 习英语。网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花更多的时间,需要学习者专 、自制,以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低限度的要求,并按时完成作 业。我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里,我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本, 笔记本上记着我听到的生词。我学习中出过许多错,有时是令人尴尬的错误。有 时我会因挫折而哭泣,有时我想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感 到畏惧,因为在屏幕上作出回答之前,我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己 的想法。后来有一天我意识到我能够理解碰到的各种问题,更重要的是,我能用 英语表达我想说的东西。尽管我还常常出错,

45、仍处于继续学习阶段，但我已尝到 刻苦学习的甜头。学习外语对我来说是个非常艰辛的经历，但却是种无比珍贵的经历。它 不仅使我懂得了刻苦努力的意义,而且使我认识了不同的文化,让我以种全新 的思维去看待事物。学习门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能同比以前更多的人交 流。我乐于与人交谈,新的语言使我能与以前不认识的人交往,参与他们的谈话, 并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。现在我已能够说外语,别人讲英语时我不再茫然不 解了。我能够参与并结交朋友。我能理解别人的话,并能够弥合我所说的语言和 所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。Unit2、课文预习1. Background Information1. Green W

46、aves:绿浪（作者为该故事杜撰的个乐队的名字）2. French Lilac Blue:法国紫蓝（种眼线液的品牌）2. Summary of the TextThe author presents an early morning exchange between a daughter, Sandy, and her parents. The daughter and her parents think about the same things very differently as a result of their lack of mutual understanding. Take

47、music for example. Sandy enjoys Green Waves very much while her father thinks it is horrible stuff. For another example, Sandy likes to take a shower as she can be alone and sing in the bathroom. But if she stays in the shower too long, her mom or dad usually bangs on the door to rush her. It is as if both Sandy and her parents are blind to what is important in each other s worlds, which puts them in separate worlds and creates the generation gap between the old and the young.3.
