Rapids，這里是白人區(qū)。白人們對(duì)我們極不友好。在學(xué)校里同學(xué)們也欺負(fù)“我”，可Miss Bean運(yùn)用她特殊的方式讓大家很快接受了“我”。1A.friends Brelatives Cfellows Dneighbours解析：此處應(yīng)該是指新的“鄰居”，因此答案選neighbours，而不是fellows“伙伴”。friends，relatives也不符合情理。答案：D2A.kindly Bpitifully Cangrily Danxiously解析：由“werent very welcoming”以及“we should return where we came from”可知，鄰居們對(duì)我們很不友好，因此答案選C。答案：C3A.seniors Bchildren Cenemies Delders解析：從第一段中“I was twelve years old”以及下文內(nèi)容可推知，向“我”扔石頭的應(yīng)該是“孩子”，所以答案選B。答案：B4A.school Bstreet Coffice Ddowntown解析：由“drove me home”以及下文內(nèi)容可知，他們把“我”從學(xué)校趕回家，因此答案選A。答案：A5A.easily Bsimply Cspecially Dhappily解析：依據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，Miss Bean對(duì)“我”很好，而其他大多數(shù)老師都不理會(huì)“我”，故答案選B。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)與take no notice of連用時(shí)，不符合語境。答案：B6A.taught Bconsidered Cwelcomed Dtreated解析：聯(lián)系上文可知，此處指Miss Bean對(duì)別人如此惡劣地對(duì)待“我”感到很生氣，因此答案選D。答案：D7A.wish Bhonour Crespect Dgift解析：從下文“Instead of being unnoticed，I was given.”可推知，Miss Bean對(duì)“我”表示尊重，因此答案選C。答案：C8A.anyone Bno one Csomeone Dnone解析：此處是指Miss Bean像教其他任何人一樣教“我”，所以答案選A。答案：A9A.question Bchance Ctest Dplace解析：從“to show that I was smart”可知此處應(yīng)該是指老師給“我”一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，因此答案選B，而不是question“問題”，test“測(cè)試”，place“位置”。答案：B10A.worry about Blook about Cwork for Dthink for解析：由下句“She insisted on knowing what I thought about difficult questions.”可推斷，此處表示Miss Bean讓“我”獨(dú)立思考，因此答案選D。下文中“thinking for yourself”也有暗示。答案：D11A.necessary Bprobable Cright Dfamous解析：結(jié)合全文語境及歷史知識(shí)可知，此處指托馬斯·杰斐遜從法國(guó)人手里購(gòu)買路易斯安那地區(qū)的做法是否正確，故答案選C。答案：C12A.supported Bdeveloped Cpracticed Dexpected解析：依據(jù)語境，Miss Bean鼓勵(lì)“我”獨(dú)立思考的目的是期望(expected)“我”有自己的觀點(diǎn)，所以答案選D。答案：D13A.back Bset Cput Dgive解析：根據(jù)語境，這里表示“能夠支持自己的觀點(diǎn)”，故答案選A，back up“支持，有助于”。而不是set up“建立”；put up“舉起”；give up“放棄”。答案：A14A.respect Beducation Cfriendship Dpower解析：聯(lián)系上下文內(nèi)容可知，此處表示“獨(dú)立思考是教育的關(guān)鍵”，所以答案選B。答案：B15A.aimed Bthrew Cpassed Dseized解析：由下文“the eraser hit me right on the hand”可推知，這里表示Miss Bean把一個(gè)黑板擦朝“我”扔過來，故答案為B。答案：B16A.sent Bfound Cmade Dknocked解析：表示某物處于某種狀態(tài)，應(yīng)用“send sth. doing”，因此答案選A。考生易誤選C，但make的主語通常是人。答案：A17A.excited Bfrightened Cworried Dshocked解析：由“and then started laughing”可推知，學(xué)生對(duì)老師的舉動(dòng)一開始感到非常吃驚(shocked)，而不是excited“興奮的”，frightened“害怕的”，worried“擔(dān)心的”。因此答案選D。答案：D18A.when Bonce Cbecause Dwhether解析：前后句存在因果關(guān)系，因此答案選C。答案：C19A.ask Bknow Cpunish Dadmire解析：既然“This incident became famous”以及“it happened to me”，所以學(xué)生開始認(rèn)識(shí)“我”，故答案選B。答案：B20A.kid Bproblem Cteacher Dexample解析：依據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，此處是指“我”是如何成為學(xué)校里與以前不同的學(xué)生，因此答案選A，也與前文“I was twelve years old”相照應(yīng)。答案：A英語文化憩園(教師用書獨(dú)具)老外眼里的中式英語在各個(gè)英語學(xué)習(xí)論壇上，經(jīng)?？梢钥吹接嘘P(guān)Chinglish(中式英語)的文章，但一般都是中國(guó)人寫的。不過我看到一篇長(zhǎng)文，也是有關(guān)Chinglish的，但卻是美國(guó)人寫的，很有意思。這篇長(zhǎng)文的標(biāo)題是Chinglish&English(從中式英語到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語)，作者是浙江大學(xué)的美國(guó)外教Chuck Allanson，內(nèi)容則是Chuck在中國(guó)五年任教期間所聽到、所看到的各種Chinglish說法。比如Chuck第一次來中國(guó)，下飛機(jī)后，負(fù)責(zé)接待他的東北某大學(xué)英語系陳老師說：您剛到，我們吃點(diǎn)飯吧。我們要點(diǎn)Chinese dumpling(餃子)和Chinese beancurd(豆腐)，您看可以嗎？Chuck以前從未聽說過這兩種東西，但出于好奇，就說可以，結(jié)果飯菜端上來一看，原來就是ravioli(餃子，來自意大利語)和tofu(豆腐，來自日語)。Chuck當(dāng)時(shí)心里暗想，這兩種東西，國(guó)際上早已經(jīng)有通用的說法(ravioli和tofu)，他們中國(guó)人為什么還要用那種生僻的說法呢？以后Chuck跟陳先生混熟了，就問他，當(dāng)初你為什么不說ravioli和tofu呢？陳先生聽了大吃一驚，連忙解釋說，我真的不知道這兩個(gè)詞，而且我們的英漢詞典上也沒有這兩個(gè)詞。于是Chuck開始意識(shí)到，中國(guó)的英語教師、英語課本、甚至英語詞典肯定存在問題，否則不可能發(fā)生這種事情。在中國(guó)五年的任教期間，Chuck收集了大量的Chinglish說法，從中挑選出一組最常見的，編寫了上面提到的那篇長(zhǎng)文。下面就是這些Chinglish說法，其中每行第一部分是漢語說法，第二部分是Chinglish說法，第三部分則是英語的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)說法。漢語ChinglishStandard English歡迎你到. welcome you to. welcome to. 永遠(yuǎn)記住你 remember you forever always remember you(沒有人能活到forever) 祝你有個(gè). wish you have a. I wish you a. 給你 give you here you are 很喜歡. very like. like. very much 黃頭發(fā) yellow hair blond/blonde(西方人沒有yellow hair的說法) 廁所 WC mens room/womens room/restroom 真遺憾 its a pity thats too bad/its a shame(its a pity說法太老) 褲子 trousers pants/slacks/jeans 修理 mend fix/repair 入口 way in entrance 出口 way out exit(way out在口語中是crazy的意思) 勤奮 diligent hard­working/studious/conscientious 應(yīng)該 should must/shall 火鍋 chafing dish hot pot 大廈 mansion center/plaza 馬馬虎虎 so­so average/fair/all right/not too bad/OK(西方人很少使用so­so) 好吃 delicious good/nice/tasty/appetizing(delicious在中國(guó)被濫用) 盡我最大努力 try my best try/strive(try的本意就是try my best) 有名 famous well­known/renowned/legendary/popular(famous在中國(guó)被濫用) 滑稽 humorous funny/witty/amusing/entertaining 欺騙 to cheat to trick/to play a joke on/to con/to deceive/to rip off 車門 the door of the car the cars door 怎么拼？ How to spell? How do you spell? 再見 byebye bye/see you/see you later/later(bye­bye有些孩子氣) 玩 play go to/do(play在中國(guó)被濫用) 面條 noodles pasta(noodles有些孩子氣) 據(jù)說 it is said I heard/I read/I was told 等等 and so on etc. 直到現(xiàn)在 till now recently/lately/thus far 農(nóng)民 peasant farmer 宣傳 propaganda information 英語中10個(gè)典型的中國(guó)式英語很多中國(guó)人在講英語時(shí)由于受母語和思維方式的影響，總是不經(jīng)意間說出中國(guó)式英語，下面我們來看一看受漢語影響常說的10個(gè)典型的中國(guó)式英語。1這個(gè)價(jià)格對(duì)我挺合適的。不妥：The price is very suitable for me.地道：The price is right.分析：suitable合適的，相配的，最常見的用法是以否定的形式出現(xiàn)在告示或通知上，如：The following program is not suitable for children.2你是做什么工作的呢？不妥：Whats your job?地道：Are you working at the moment?分析：Whats your job？這種常見說法難道也有毛病嗎？是的，不妥之處不在于語法，而在于思維習(xí)慣。因?yàn)槿绻愕恼勗拰?duì)象正好剛剛失業(yè)，如果直接地問會(huì)讓對(duì)方有失面子，所以你如果問Are you working at the moment？接下來你才說Where are you working these days?3這個(gè)用英語怎么說？不妥：How to say this in English?地道：How do you say this in English?分析：how to say是最泛濫成災(zāi)的中國(guó)式英語之一，這絕不是地道的英語說法。英語中若提問，正確句式應(yīng)該是一個(gè)疑問句。4明天我有很多事情要做。不妥：I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.地道：I am tied up all day tomorrow.分析：用a lot of things to do來表示你很忙，這也完全是中國(guó)式的說法。因?yàn)槊繒r(shí)每刻我們都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大覺也是事情。所以你想說我很忙，脫不開身，可以說I am tied up.或I cant make it at that time.5我想我不行。不妥：I think I cant.地道：I dont think I can.分析：漢語里說“我想我不會(huì)”的時(shí)候，英語里總是說“我不認(rèn)為我會(huì)”。以后在說類似英語句子的時(shí)候，只要留心，也會(huì)習(xí)慣英語的表達(dá)習(xí)慣的。6現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)鐘了？不妥：What time is it now?地道：What time is it，please?分析：What time is it now？是一個(gè)直接從漢語翻譯過來的句子。講英語時(shí)沒有必要說now，因?yàn)槟悴豢赡軉朩hat time was it yesterday？或者What time is it tomorrow？所以符合英語習(xí)慣的說法是What time is it，please?7我的英語很糟糕。不妥：My English is poor.地道：I am not 100% fluent，but at least I am improving.分析：有人開玩笑說，全中國(guó)人最擅長(zhǎng)的一句話是My English is poor.外國(guó)人遇到自己外語不好的情況，他們一般會(huì)說I am still having a few problems，but I am getting better.8周五你愿意參加我們的晚會(huì)嗎？不妥：Would you like to join our party on Friday?地道：Would you like to come to our party on Friday?分析：join往往是指參加俱樂部或協(xié)會(huì)，事實(shí)上常與party搭配的動(dòng)詞是come或go。9.我沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。不妥：I have no experience.地道：I dont know much about that.分析：I have no experience.這句話在英美人士聽起來古里古怪，因?yàn)閑xperience這個(gè)詞概念比較大，用英語的思維，你只需要說那方面我懂得不多，或者這方面我不在行，就行了。10這個(gè)春節(jié)你回家嗎？是的，我回去。Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?不妥：Of course!地道：Sure./Certainly.分析：以英語為母語的人使用of course的頻率要比中國(guó)學(xué)生低得多，只有在回答一些眾所周知的問題時(shí)才說of course，因?yàn)閛f course言外之意是“當(dāng)然啦！難道我是一個(gè)傻瓜嗎？”因此，of course帶有挑釁的意味。在交談時(shí)，用Sure.或Certainly.效果會(huì)好得多。同時(shí)，Of course not.也有挑釁的意味。正常情況下語氣溫和的說法是Certainly not.影響英語世界的10個(gè)中文詞1【功夫：kongfu】說到英文里的照搬中文，最出名的非“kongfu(功夫)”莫屬。當(dāng)然，“功夫”走進(jìn)英文詞匯并不是這幾年的事兒，而是30多年前隨香港功夫片的崛起而闖入西方世界的。它無疑是影響世界的中國(guó)話的代表詞匯。2【不折騰：bu zheteng】如果說英語中的“功夫”是香港人早期的貢獻(xiàn)，那么，英文中的bu zheteng(不折騰)就是最新、最具傳播潛力的內(nèi)地人對(duì)英語的貢獻(xiàn)了，而這個(gè)傳播者就是我們的國(guó)家主席胡錦濤。bu zheteng進(jìn)入英語專屬名詞。估計(jì)它在英語世界中的影響也會(huì)越來越大。3【餃子：jiaozi】餃子是隨中國(guó)美食進(jìn)入西方的，怎么翻譯都太繁瑣，英語就照搬了中文的發(fā)音jiaozi。現(xiàn)在中餐風(fēng)行世界，無論是講什么語言的老外，如果不會(huì)點(diǎn)中餐，只要說一句jiaozi，就什么都解決了。4【城管：chengguan】在英語中頻現(xiàn)一個(gè)詞匯：chengguan，泰晤士報(bào)對(duì)chengguan的解釋是：中國(guó)地方執(zhí)法者。5【很久不見：long time no see】long time no see，本來這是中國(guó)人按自己的習(xí)慣逐字翻譯的中國(guó)式英文，但是隨著中國(guó)人的出行腳步，已經(jīng)被西方人所接受。6【飲茶：drinktea】drinktea，又一個(gè)中國(guó)式英語，這是廣東人對(duì)英語世界的貢獻(xiàn)。7【和平崛起：peaceful rising】我們的國(guó)家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一次次面對(duì)世界的媒體，講出這句話。使peaceful rising成為來源于中國(guó)的最常用的詞匯。8【大字報(bào)：dazibao】許多外國(guó)人不明白“大字報(bào)”的具體意思，但是中國(guó)文革中的這個(gè)文化產(chǎn)物太頑固了，還沒來得及細(xì)翻譯，它就已經(jīng)帶著中國(guó)的原始烙印跑到歐美國(guó)家去了。9【風(fēng)水：feng shui】又一個(gè)從廣東走向世界的中文發(fā)音詞匯，它的內(nèi)涵實(shí)在太難解釋了，只有直譯才不會(huì)變味。10【清明：chingming】西方的圣誕節(jié)影響世界，中國(guó)的清明節(jié)在國(guó)外雖然沒有太大影響，但是英文的“chingming”已經(jīng)被很多人提起。英語廣告詞欣賞1Good to the last
