第一篇：大学英语泛读第四册22课翻译Was there a golden age
A 英国许多现代教育评论家常提及本世纪初的黄金时代, 他们觉得那时候的水准高一些;他们提倡恢复传统的教学法, 声称传统教学法是成功的。但在我们学校里是否曾有过黄金时代呢? 如果以下由权威人士提供的数据真实可信的话, 那么本世纪当然还未出现过黄金时代。
B......本世纪这个国家有好几百万个孩子从儿时起, 一直到14 岁都在一种体制下受到阅读、写作和计算的训练。其最后结果是: 当他们十三四岁离开学校时, 他们既不能读, 也不能写,也不会运算。
C.....事实是, 水平中等的男女学生在离开学校时, 不能清晰、流利或准确地书写英语。
D......据说学生计算数字的准确程度未达到20 年前所达到的标准。1925 年(教育委员会)E.....我们已有足够的证据证明中学生英语水平的低劣———我们面对着中学教育的严重失败。
F 如果从成人识字的人数比例来看, 会发现同样的情况。1945年西里尔·伯特爵士发现, 这个国家有1.5% ～2% 的人到21 岁还是文盲, 15%～20%的人是半文盲。
G假设自实行大众教育体制以来, 对教育现状进行的每次调查表明, 教育标准中存在严重缺陷, 这似乎是合乎情理的。他们的发现也许都是正确的。对今天教育标准自鸣得意是愚蠢的, 但是如果妄自认为在全面教育制度和现代教学实行之前, 学校一切都完美无缺则是荒唐的。值得记住的是, 正是在二次世界大战期间对教学法的不满, 才导致了对待孩子和教学法的不同手段。
H 对11 岁以上孩子进行考试的普遍谴责, 是导致教学法改变的另一个原因。11 岁时进行选拔制的弊端在别处已得到充分证实。很清楚, 许多孩子没有得到公正的安排, 学生们的表现往往与人们对他们的期望不相上下, 因此考试结果便成了自我实现的预言, 这不足为奇。而且, 文法学校学生人数因地而异.比方说, 在威尔士有40%的孩子上文法学校, 而在其他一些地方所占比例只有15%。因此, 学生的分配是根据学业教育和技能教育中学的比例, 而不是根据他们对各种教育所表现出的能力。
I 有一点也不应忘记。当综合体制的反对者大声疾呼父母没有为孩子选择的权利时, 他们忽视了这样一个事实, 即: 在旧的选拔体制里, 大多数父母也没有为孩子选择的权利。只有不足20%的学生能够上文法学校, 剩下的80% 别无选择, 只有去以技能教育为主的中学。
J考试结果当然不是检验学校质量的唯一标准, 但在向综合教育大转变时所发生的变化值得考虑。在五项以上的O 水平考试中, 成绩在C 或C 以上的, 1966 年有22% , 而1976 年有25%。在一至四项的O 水平考试中, 成绩在C 或C 以上的, 1966 年有16% , 而1976 年有26%。K还没有充分的证据表明教育水准的总体下降, 当然也没有任何证据说明得以充分发展的综合体制导致任何标准的降低, 而事实恰恰相反。但这也并不意味着一切都好。比方说, 地区之间差 别仍很大, 还有许多孩子仍然被剥夺了他们本应享有的机会, 因而他们的才智未能达到应达到的水平。此外, 如果不能满足不断提高的工业要求, 仅凭总的标准没下降而在提高这一点是不能给 人以多少慰藉的。如果这些标准难以使普通毕业生找到一个满意的工作, 那么即使他知道他比自己的前辈毕业时的水平高, 这也不能给他任何鼓励。
L我们对教育的期望越来越高———我们希望看到更多更好的结果。这种体制还没能实现我们的愿望, 但这并不意味着它的衰败, 而表明社会发展越来越快, 其要求越来越高, 我们需要发展教育事业来适应这些要求。然而, 很清楚, 唯一建设性的方法是面向未来, 而不是重蹈覆辙, 去寻找从不存在的教育黄金时代
