第三篇：TED演讲——不要固执于英语英文字幕
不要固执于英语
I know what you’re thinking.You think I’ve lost my way, and somebody’s going to come on the stage in a minute and guide me gently back to my seat.I get that all thetimein Dubai.“Here on holiday are you, dear?”“Come to visit the children?”“How long are you staying?”Well actually, I hope for a while longer yet.I have been living and teaching in Gulf for over 30 years.And in that time, I have seen a lot of changes.Now that statistic is quit shocking.And I want to talk to you today about language loss and the globalization of English.I want to tell you about my friend who was teacher English to adults in Abu Dhabi.And one fine day, she decided to take them into the garden to teach them some nature vocabulary.But it was she who ended up learning all the Arabic words for the local plants, as well as their uses, medicinal uses, cosmetics, cooking, herbal.How did those students get all that knowledge? Of course, from their grandparentsand even their great-grandparents.It’s not necessary to tell you how important it is to be able to communicate across generation.But sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate.A language dies every 14 days.Now at the same time, English is the undisputed global language.Could there be a connection? We don’t know.But I do knowthat I’ve seen a lot of changes.When I first came out to the Gulf, I came to Kuwait in the days it was still a hardship post.Actually, not that long ago.That is a little bit too early.But nevertheless, I was recruited by the British Council along with about 25 other teachers.And we were the first non-Muslims to teach in the state schools there in Kuwait.We were brought to teach English because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education.And of course, the U.K.benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth.Okay.Now this is the major change that I’ve seen how teaching English has morphed from being a mutually beneficial practice to becoming a massive international business that it is today.No longer just a foreign language on the school curriculum.And no longer the sole domain of mother England.It has become a bandwagon for every English-speaking nation on earth.And why not? After all, the best education according to the latest World University Rankings is to be found in the universities of the U.K.and the U.S.So everybody wants to have an English education, naturally.But if you’re not a native speaker, you have to pass a test.Now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability alone? Perhaps you have a computer scientist who’s a
genius.Would he need the same language as a lawyer, for example? Well, I don’t think so.We English teachers reject them all the time.We put a stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks.They can’t pursue their dream any longer, till they get English.Now let me put it this way, if I met a monolingual Dutch speakerwho had the cure for cancer, would I stop him from entering my British University? I don’t think so.But indeed, that is exactly what we do.We English teachers are the gatekeepers.And you have to satisfy us first that your English is good enough.Now it can be dangerous to give too much power, to a narrow segment of society.Maybe the barrier would be too university.Okay.“But,” I hear you say, “What about the research? It’s all in English.” So the books are in English, the journals are done in English, but that is self-fulfilling prophecy.It deeds the English requirement.And so it goes on.I ask you, what happened to translation? If you think about the Islamic Golden Age, there was lots of translation then.They translate from Latin and Greek into Arabic, into Persian, and then it was translated on into the Germanic languages of Europe and the Romance languages.And so light shone upon the Dark Ages of Europe.Now don’t get me wrong.I am not against teaching English, all you English teachers out there.I love thatwe have a global language.We need one today more than ever.But I am against using it as a barrier.Do we really want to end up with 600 languages and the main one being English and Chinese? We need more than that.Where do we draw the line? This system equates intelligence with a knowledge of English which is quite arbitrary.And I want to remind you that the giant upon whose shoulders today’s intelligentsia stand did not have to have English, they didn’t have to pass an English test.Case in point, Einstein.He, by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, dyslexic.But fortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an English test.Because they didn’t start until 1964 with TOEFL, the AmericanTest of English.Now it’s exploded.There are lots and lots of tests of English.And millions and millions of students take these tests every year.Now you might think, you and me, those fees aren’t bad, they’re okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people.So immediately, we’re rejecting them.It brings to mind a headline I saw recently: “Education: The Great Divide.” Now I get it, I understand why people would focus on English.They want to give their children the best chance in the life.And to do that, they need a Western education.Because, of course, the best jobs go to people out of the Western Universities, that I put on earlier.It’s a circular thing.Okay.Let me tell you a story about two scientists, two English scientists.They were doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbs of animals.But they couldn’t get the results they wanted.They really didn’t know what to do, until along came a German scientist who realized that they were using two words for forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither does German.So bingo, problem solved.If you can’t think a thought, you are stuck.But if another language can think that thought, then, by cooperating, we can achieve and learn so much more.My daughter, came to England from Kuwait.She had studied science and mathematics in Arabic.It’s an Arabic medium school.She had to translate it into English at her grammar school.And she was the best in the class at those subjects.Which tells us, that when students come to us from abroad, we may not be giving them enough credit for what they know.And they know it in their own language.When a language dies, we don’t know what we lose with that language.This is –I don’t know if you saw it on CNN recently—they give the Heroes Award to a young Kenyan shepherd boy who couldn’t study at night in his village like all the village children, because the Kerosene lamp, it had smoke and it damaged his eyes.And anyway, there was never enough kerosene, because what does a dollar a day buy for you? So he invented a cost-free solar lamp.And now the children in his village get the same grades at school as the children who have electricity at home.When he received his award, he said these lovely words: The children can lead Africa from a dark continent, to a light continent.A simple idea, but it could have such fat-reaching consequences.Peoplewho have no light, whether it’s physical or metaphorical, cannot pass our exam, and we can never know what they know.Let us not keep them and ourselves in the dark.Let us celebrate diversity.Mind your language.Use it to spread great ideas.
第四篇：毕业留言：朋友请不要悲伤
生活就是这样。盼望它飞跃时，它总是慢悠悠;等体会到个中滋味，想多留它须时，它却如落花流水匆匆逝去。时慢时快时疾时缓，时悲时喜时乐时苦。愁与苦为伴，欢与乐同行。聚散皆是缘，离合总关情。情谊悠悠，岁月如流，蓦然回首，却已人去楼空，不知江月照何人，但见长江送流水。
生活的海洋已铺开金色的路，浪花正分列两旁摇着欢迎的花束。勇敢地去吧，朋友!前方，已吹响出征的海螺;彩霞，正在将鲜红的大旗飞舞……
愿你作一滴晶亮的水，投射到浩瀚的大海;作一朵鲜美的花，组成百花满园;作一丝闪光的纤维，绣织出鲜红的战旗;作一颗小小的螺丝钉，一辈子坚守自己的岗位……
从五湖四海来，到天南地北去。不管走到哪里，不管在什么岗位，让我们继续填好人生的履历表，交出事业的优秀答卷，为母校的旗帜增辉添彩。
像蜂蝶飞过花丛，像清泉流经山谷，在记忆的心屏中，学生时代的生活，恰似流光溢彩的画页，也似一阕跳跃着欢快音符的乐章。小舟在青春的港口起航，我们暂时分手，满载着理想和追求。重新相聚在何时?将在那丰收的时候!
宁谧的天宇，每颗星都有自己的轨迹，让我们在生活中找到自己的最佳位置，心目中的世界也许会变得和谐而安宁。带着记忆，带着幻想，走向生活，走向祖国的四面八方。
生命，从小溪的流淌中获得;青春，在飞流的倾泻中闪光;存在的价值，于大河的奔流中呈现。青春的脚印留在校园的小路上，笑语欢歌留在花坛的馨香中……母校的每一个角落，都珍藏着我们的友情，弥漫着我们的幻想。
请再谱一支青春曲，伴随你我在明天的征途中继续奋进!
三年的时光虽然很短暂,但回头看 看走过的路,有曲折的一段,更多 的是平坦.舒畅感觉.人生路上有 成功.也有失败,请相信“有志者事竞成”
我不知道有多少个星辰醉心其间挥一挥手又怎能抹去这不绝如缕的眷恋哪怕今后的风景更美更好我都无法轻抛过去一展笑颜尽管人生告别寻常事真告别时却又难说再见。
