Hello, welcome to 6 Minute English.I’m Neil.大家好,欢迎来到六分钟英语。我是尼尔。And I’m Rob.我是罗伯。
Rob, when you were a child, did you have a pet? 罗伯,你小时候有宠物吗?
Yes, we had a few pets.My favourite was a little fluffy hamster.有,我们有一些宠物。我最喜欢的是一只毛茸茸的小仓鼠。And what happened to your hamster? 你的小仓鼠后来怎么样了?
Well, one day I got home from school and he wasn’t in his cage.I was worried for a bit in case he’d escaped or got hurt.But it was alright.My mum told me that he had gone to live on a farm.So that he could run around with other animals.好吧,有一天我放学回家,它并不在笼子里。我有点担心,怕它万一逃跑了或者受伤了。但是还好。妈妈告诉我它跑到农场里去了。那样它可以和其它动物一起跑着玩。Really? 真的吗? Yes, really.是的,是真的。
A hamster.Went to live on a farm.To be with other animals.Really? 一只仓鼠。跑到农场里生活。和其它动物在一起。真的吗?Oh, well, when you put it like that… 额,好吧,你要是那么说得话……
I think that was probably one of those lies that parents tell their children so as not to make them sad.我觉得那或许是父母为了不让孩子伤心所说的一种谎言。Well, I’m sad now.好吧,我现在很难过。
Well, maybe having a go at this quiz will cheer you up.According to a study by a US psychologist, what percentage of people will lie in a typical ten minute conversation? Is it: a)40% b)50% or c)60%? 好吧,或许试试回答一下这个问题会让你高兴起来。根据美国一位心理学家的研究,有百分之多少的人会在一个十分钟的正常会话中说谎?是a)40% b)50% 还是 c)60%? I think most people don’t lie that much, so I’ll say 40%.我觉得大多数人没那么爱说谎,所以我说有40%。OK, well.We’ll reveal the answer a little later in the programme.好的。稍后我们将在节目中揭晓答案。
So today we are talking about lies and particularly the lies that parents tell children.所以今天我们谈论是谎言,特别是父母对孩子说的谎言。The topic was discussed on the BBC Radio 4 programme, Woman’s Hour.BBC广播4频道的“女性时间”对这个话题进行了讨论。A guest on that programme was Doctor Chris Boyle, a psychologist at Exeter University.He talks about a particular kind of lie.We tell these lies not because we want to hurt people.What colour are these lies called? 节目嘉宾之一是克里斯·博伊尔博士,他是埃克斯特大学的心理学家。他谈到了一种特殊的谎言。我们说那些谎言不是为了伤害别人。这些谎言被称作什么颜色的谎言呢? A white lie is just a distortion of the truth without malicious intent.So as long as there’s not malicious intent I think it’s something that we do.It’s almost a societal norm that has become where it is acceptable that we do tell certain lies at certain times.善意的谎言只是对事实的曲解,但并无恶意。所以只要没有恶意,我觉得我们可以那样做。它几乎就是一种被大家接受的社会准则,我们确实在某些时间说某些特定的谎言。
Dr Chris Boyle there.What colour is the kind of lie he was talking about? 那是克里斯·博伊尔博士的观点。他所谈到的谎言是什么颜色?
It’s a white lie.He says a white lie is just a distortion of the truth.‘Distortion’ here means a changing or bending of the truth.These kind of lies are OK as long as we don’t tell them because we want to hurt someone.它是白色的谎言。他说善意的谎言只是对事情的曲解。'Distortion'在这里指的是改变或者歪曲事实。这些谎言是可以的,只要我们不是为了伤害别人而说谎。He used the phraseto talk about a bad reason for doing something, didn’t he?
他用“恶意”这个词组来说做某事的恶劣原因,不是吗? Yes, ‘intent’ is the reason or purpose for doing something.And ‘malicious’ is an adjective, which means cruel or nasty.So without malicious intent means without wanting to hurt or be cruel to someone.是的,“意图”是指做某事的原因或者目的。而'malicious'是一个形容词,指的是残忍的或者险恶的。所以没有恶意指的是没想伤害或者残忍对待某人。
He said that this kind of white lie was almost a societal norm.Can you explain what he means by that? 他说那种善意的谎言几乎是一种社会准则。你能解释一下他那么说是什么意思吗?
Yes, something that is the norm is something that is expected, it’s regular and usual.The adjective ‘societal’ comes from the noun ‘society’.So a societal norm is something that is regular and common in your culture or society.可以。准则就是符合人们要求的东西,是普通寻常的。形容词 'societal'是由名词'society'衍变而来的。所以社会准则是在你所处的文化环境或者社会中普通寻常的东西。So do you think your mum’s story about the hamster and the farm was a little white lie? 所以你认为你妈妈关于仓鼠和农场的故事是一个善意的小谎言吗?Yes, I’m sure it was.She didn’t do it with malicious intent.She didn’t want to hurt me.In fact, just the opposite, she wanted to protect me.是的,我确定它是善意的谎言。她不是怀着恶意做这件事。她不想伤害我。事实上正相反,她想要保护我。Yes, that’s one kind of white lie that parents tell, to protect children.There are also a couple of other reasons.One being the parent’s convenience.是的,那是父母为了保护孩子所说的一种善意的谎言。还有许多其它的理由。一个就是父母为了方便自己。
Yes, I remember my mum telling me on certain days, the park wasn’t open.I know now that it never closed.I guess at the time she was just too busy to take me.是的,我记得我妈妈告诉我在特定的日子公园不会开放。现在我知道公园从来不会关闭。我猜那时候她只是太忙以至于没时间带我去。
And then there are the cultural lies that parents tell children.然后父母对孩子说的谎还有与文化相关的。Alright.What do you mean by that? 好吧。你那么说是什么意思?
Well, first, if you have any children listening to this right now, you might want to cover their ears for a few seconds.Rob, I’m talking about, for example, Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy.好吧,首先如果你的孩子现在正在收听的话,你或许想要捂住他们的耳朵几秒钟。罗伯我现在说的是像圣诞老人和牙仙子。
Alright.Yes, there’s no malicious intent in telling children those stories.It is a cultural and societal norm.好吧。是的,告诉孩子那些故事没有恶意。它是一种文化和社会准则。
Let’s listen to Dr Chris Boyle again talking about white lies.让我们再听一遍克里斯·博伊尔博士对善意的谎言的谈论。A white lie is just a distortion of the truth without malicious intent.So as long as there’s not malicious intent I think it’s something that we do.It’s almost a societal norm that has become where it is acceptable that we do tell certain lies at certain times.善意的谎言只是对事实的曲解,但并无恶意。所以只要没有恶意,我觉得我们可以那样做。它几乎就是一种被大家接受的社会准则,我们确实在某些时间说某些特定的谎言。So now back to our question at the top of the programme.I asked what percentage of people will lie in a typical ten minute conversation.Was it: a)40% b)50% or c)60% ? What did you say Rob? 所以现在让我们回到节目开始时的问题。我问在一个十分钟的正常对话中,有百分之多少的人会说谎?是a)40% b)50% 还是 c)60%?你当时说是多少,罗伯? I said a)just 40%.我说是a)只有40%。
Well, I’m afraid the answer was 60%.好吧,恐怕答案是60%。
Really? Goodness, 60%!That’s more than I expected.真的。天哪,60%。那比我预料的要多。
Right, well before we go, let’s recap the vocabulary we talked about today.The first expression was ’white lie’-a lie we tell without meaning to hurt someone.For example when I say to you: you look nice today!是的。在结束之前,让我们回顾一下今天所谈到的单词。第一个表达是“善意的谎言”——一个不是为了伤害别人而说的谎言。例如我和你说:你今天看起来真不错!Wait, what did you say? 等等,你刚说什么?
But that is actually a distortion of the truth.A changing or bending of the truth.但那实际上是对事实的曲解。对事实的改变或者歪曲。Mmmm.This makes me think of the next expression, ’malicious intent’.Intent is the reason or purpose for doing something.And doing something with a malicious intent is doing it deliberately to be cruel or to hurt someone.And I think you have a malicious intent, telling me that when you say I look nice, it’s just a lie!
额。那让我想到了下一个表达,“恶意”。意图是做某事的原因或者目的。而且恶意做某事是指故意残忍对待或伤害某人。我觉得你有恶意,当你跟我说我看起来不错的时候,那只是一个谎言。I’m just kidding!我只是开玩笑!
That’s the norm for you, isn’t it? Just kidding.A ’norm’ is the standard or ‘normal’ way that something is.In the clip we heard ’societal norm’, which is the accepted or ‘normal’ way something is done in society.那是你的准则,不是吗?只是开玩笑。'norm'是指某事的标准或准则。在刚才的片段中,我们听到了“社会准则”,是某事在社会中能被人们接受的,或者正常的完成方式。For example, telling children about Father Christmas.例如,告诉孩子们关于圣诞老人的信息。Sssh!嘘。

第二篇:英语作文善意的谎言
Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic.Some people maintain that doctors should tell white lies to their patients when asked about their diseases.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.With more attention attached to humanism, doctors are required of humanistic care as well as eminent medical skills.In this case, some people assert that white lies are inevitable for doctors when patients consult them for diseases.In my opinion, however, honesty is the basic moral bottom line for doctors and communication skills rather than white lies manifest humanism and love.Some people think white lies attend to patients’ anxiety, depression and sensitivity about their diseases, but this argument does not hold water.No one goes to hospital if he or she feels vigorous and happy.That is to say, patients possess their own thoughts and mental participation before, so usually they turn to doctors just for confirmed diagnoses.Thus, people may underestimate their diseases if given white lies.Prescription they do not follow;medicine they do not take.Ultimately, they blame doctors for their white lies.What’s more, it is essential that medical staff guarantee transparent disclosure to patients, or they may feel offended after busting white lies.Skilled communication outweighs white lies.Fatigued, anxious and perplexed about their diseases, patients see their doctors with awe while doctors quickly get impatient.It occurs to me that Lewis Thomas feels regretful in his biography that doctors themselves do not suffer from severe diseases.That is not a curse, but requirement that doctors bridge the gap between staff and patients with sincerity, sympathy and patience.To achieve this, cordial and soft-voiced words make sense.It’s of significance that doctors encourage patients to conquer their phobia and to receive treatments actively instead of concealing condition from them.In conclusion, plausibility though white lies have, doctors should resort to sincere communication rather than white lies to placate patients.
第三篇:六分钟小学英语说课稿
我说课的内容是小学五年级下册unit5 part A部分,本课时主要是词汇教学/交际对话教学/阅读教学。关于本次说课内容我将主要通过教材内容分析、教学目标与重难点、教学方法与课堂流程。
一、关于教材内容的分析。
词汇教学主要学习的词汇是五个动词的现在进行式,其中有两个动词的分词形式变化涉及特殊规则,要双写词尾字母。因为本单元是第一次出现现在进行时的学习内容,需要学生在初步了解知识点的情况下
对话教学主要针对“what is it doing?”展开,要求学生能够看图描述动物正在进行的动作,并结合生活实际描述出其他动物的动作。
阅读教学主要针对what is somebody doing?的问答对话展开,要求学生在自主阅读中了解文章含义,尝试在原文基础上找出课文中提出的问题。
二、教学目标
1、知识目标:能正确听、说、读、词汇,重点了解进行式简单的变换规则。学会“what is…doing?”句型的含义与问答,在此基础之上,能利用已经学过的词汇进行语言的创造。
2、能力目标:使学生能够根据指令做动作,根据图片和情境说出单词和句子,最终尝试在图文或场景下进行简单的英语交流和表演。(培养学生的对话交际能力阅读能力)
3、价值观目标:充分利用教材和教师的多媒体教学所提供的学习资源,实现自由参与和创新,能主动与他人交流,并克服交流中的困难,使交际顺利进行。
三、教学重难点
1、动词现在分词的变换规则,其中由于有两个动词属于重读闭音节,其分词形式变化涉及特殊规则,要双写词尾字母。需要学生在记忆单词时重点注意,也是本课单词教学中的难点。
2、对话中重点句型为“what is…doing?”“it’s…”问答的学习。对话中的难点句型为“what about…?”句型的理解与使用。
四、说教法
生本教育的理念是:一切为了学生、高度尊重学生、全面依靠学生。遵循这一理念,我采用如下教法:
1.任务型教学法:运用新课标的理念,让学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式学习和使用英语完成学习任务。
2.情景教学法:多媒体辅助教学集图像、声音、文字于一体,利用多媒体或实物为学生创设情景,使教学内容更生动、形象,吸引学生的注意力,让学生身临其境地学习英语。
3.游戏教学法:通过唱歌、游戏及体态语言启发诱导学生完成本课任务。
4、交际法:学习英语,目的在于用英语进行交际。遵循这一原则,尽量创造机会让学生与学生,学生与老师之间进行对话,培养学生的语言交际能力。
在授课期间我主要采用的教学工具有:CAI、ppt、相关卡片
五、课堂程序
1、warm-up 热身环节:课堂开始与学生进行英语问候,引导学生演唱英语歌曲,这一环节对于形成良好的英语学习氛有重要的作用。
2、利用多媒体播放ppt文件,让学生首先复习之前run、swim、jump和相关动物的单词,再通过图画引出现在分词的学习导入。这主要是让学生复习之前所学知识,为本单元学习的开展打下良好的知识与沟通基础,同时实现温故而知新。
3、词汇教学是本节课重难点,我将采用多种方式针对学生教学,e.g.,.(词汇教学主要方法有:T通过大小声带领学生读单词、将单词拆分为字母编成歌谣教学、结合肢体语言教学、通过让学生看老师发音的嘴型猜单词等)。通过多种方式教授单词,能够让学生在课堂中掌握正确的读音与拼写。
4、听对话,看动画。在初步的听对话后,尝试让学生两人一组了解对话内容,然后让学生上讲台表演对话,将讲台尽量作为学生展示的空间。老师在学生的对话过程中进一步指出学生读音的错误,同时对表现优秀的学生提出鼓励与表扬。
5、在初步掌握新知后,我在这里会引入游戏环节,请同学上讲台表演动作,并说出其动作的英语单词,其他的同学猜对应的动物。通过游戏环节活跃课堂气氛,增加学生学习的积极性,也可以让学生在游戏中进一步的巩固所学知识。
(T says: what are you doing now? / S says : I am … / other S guess animals)
6、课堂效果考察:让学生说出本节课所学单词与句型。
7、课后作业布置: 让学生在课后与同伴相互检查单词与句型的读写。学生课后的练习对于学生巩固所学知识至关重要,并且加强学生对于英语课程的重视程度。
1、warm-up 热身环节:课堂开始与学生进行英语问候,引导学生演唱英语歌曲,这一环节对于形成良好的英语学习氛有重要的作用。
2、利用多媒体播放ppt,ppt内容主要包括之前课堂中学过的词汇与短语所对应的图片,让学生分别回答图画中的动作短语,引出。。短语,强调进行式的不同。
3、利用多媒体播放课文中的对话,引入本节课堂重点内容的学习,老师将写有重点句型的卡片展示给学生看,带领学生朗读,让学生能够清晰的了解本节课重点需要学习与记忆的内容。
4、老师与学生对话交流,老师问学生问题,学生根据实际情况回答老师所提的问题,以增强老师与学生之间的交流,激励学生开口说英语,使学生更有自信心与积极性。
5、让学生主动提出对话中不懂的词汇或者句型,可以请其他学生回答,难点“what about…”由老师进一步举例讲解。
6、小组情景表演。首先由老师通过多媒体播放情景,学生根据相应情景组织对话并进行表演。在初步表演成功后,鼓励学生自己构造生活中常见场景进行对话部分的实施。通过该方式可以进一步了解学生之前的学习情况,老师可以了解学生是否已经灵活掌握对话用语,并将其运用于实际。
7、课后作业布置:课后两人一组根据所学对话编写一段生活中常见场景,并配合进行表演,在下次课堂上请同学表演。
1、warm-up 热身环节:课堂开始与学生进行英语问候,引导学生演唱英语歌曲,这一环节对于形成良好的英语学习氛有重要的作用。
2、利用多媒体播放英语歌谣,学生通过听歌曲了解主要句型,并回答老师的问题,可以增强学生在课堂上的互动与自信心。
3、听对话,看动画:给时间让学生预习本节课主要内容,学生先学,尝试小组组员间合作完成前置作业,增加学生自主学习的机会与欲望。
4、学生展示前置作业,通过多媒体展示台展示学生小组作业,小组成员分别上讲台回答问题并讲授答案,鼓励学生自己在原文中找出听力阅读文本的答案,以培养学生的听力与做题能力。鼓励学生充当课堂小老师的角色,将课堂还给学生,充当学习的主人。
5、让学生主动提出对话中不懂的词汇或者句型,可以请其他学生回答,难点“what about…”由老师进一步举例讲解。
6、小组情景表演:小组上讲台根据阅读内容开展情景表演,要求边做动作边说英语,以此让更多的同学参与到课堂中来,巩固之前所学内容。
7、通过True or Fault 检查学生的课堂学习效果。
8、作业布置。课后分别调查家人晚饭后主要进行的活动,分别用英语展现出来。通过该作业可以使学生了解英语的实用性,同时可以让学生与家人之间实现共同学习的良好氛围。
