4、ocabulary v在英语史上，英语吸取了大量其他语言的词汇，加上英语本在英语史上，英语吸取了大量其他语言的词汇，加上英语本身就具有很多同义词。英语中的同义词和近义词很多，一词身就具有很多同义词。英语中的同义词和近义词很多，一词多义多义(polysemy)的现象很普遍：的现象很普遍：v a soft pillow case.v a soft aboveground launching site.v The record has been considered soft ever since it was set last May.v Marijuana is usually regarded
5、 as a soft drug.v At this stage there is only soft intelligence about the enemy intention.We should not shoot him from the hip.v2.汉语的一词多义现象：以汉语的一词多义现象：以“地地”为例为例v词语：地方词语：地方 地步地步 地球地球 地势地势 地位地位 地头蛇地头蛇 v 地震地震 地狱地狱 地域地域 天地天地v词组或成语：天长地久词组或成语：天长地久 天翻地覆天翻地覆 天罗地网天罗地网 不败之地不败之地 CollocationvTo cut wheatvTo cut

13、重心6.竹节句法与流水句法7.理性型与绘画型v张衡还创建了世界上第一台观测气象的仪器候风仪anemograph。他还制作了已经失传的指南车。这种车不管怎么转弯，车上的木制小人总是把手臂指向南方。v Zhang Heng also created the worlds first meteorological instrument anemograph.He made a pointing-south cart with a wooden figure always pointing southward no matter what direction the cart was moving i
14、n.The cart has since been lost.v英语是典型的“直线型”思维，而汉语则是典型的“螺旋型”思维。因此，英语里习惯于直切主题，不旁敲侧击。而汉语则不同，中国人常常要在点题之前作充分准备，最终才把重点讲出来。英语里很宠爱运用现有理论作演绎推理，而汉语里更宠爱归纳式探讨，即先排列现象或先摆出具体的事实再作抽象总结。一、直线型与螺旋型vTime is an equal opportunity employer.Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day.Rich pe
15、ople cant buy more hours.Scientists cant invent new minutes.And you cant save time to spend it on another day.v每个人每天所拥有的小时数和分钟数完全相同，富人不行能购买更多的小时，科学家也不能独创新的分钟，并且你还不能把时间留到另一天用，所以说，时间是机会均等的雇主。v英语民族偏爱分析型思维，其思维方式是部分优先,所以英语的句子特殊留意形式上的完整及各部分之间的关系在形式上的体现。而中国人偏好综合型思维，其思维方式是整体优先,即重整体轻分解,擅长简洁含蓄地说明事物整体而不擅长分析事物的
16、内部结构,所以汉语句子更留意整体表达效果，对形式上的完整及各部分之间的关系是否严谨并不特别重视,词和句子的意义常靠前后左右综合的意义网来理解。二、分析型与综合型As it is too late for you to go home now,you had better stay overnight at this place.(as表明主从句的因果关系)现在回家太晚，你最好在这儿住一晚。天长地久有时尽，此恨绵绵无绝期。（留意整体表达效果，转折关系没有明示）The eternal universe sometimes comes to an end,but my unceasing compl
17、aint knows no limit.（增加连词but，明确转折关系）eternal：永久的，永恒的v英语中抽象的内容多，汉语中具体的内容多。西方人受西方哲学思想体系的影响,较留意抽象思维，他们擅长运用抽象的概念来表达具体的事物，抽象表达方式在英语中相当普遍。相对而言,中国人在说明问题时爱用形象与比方法，即使涉及到逻辑推理问题也偏爱形象思维，纯粹意义的抽象思维对他们似乎并不重要。三、抽象型与形象型v1.英语常用大量含义概括的词来表达困难的理性概念 vwork with meticulous care（精雕细刻）v meticulous：一丝不苟的，精确的vaccept sth.uncriti
18、cally(生吞活剥)vbe full of fears and misgivings(前怕狼后怕虎)v misgiving：疑虑v画饼充饥(feed on illusions)v归根究竟(in the final analysis)v冷言冷语(sarcastic comments)v sarcastic：讽刺的v弱不禁风(be in delicate health)v2.英语中一些较抽象的概念在汉语中常常用一些习惯性的具体词来转述：v area（面积）大小；vlength（长度）长短；vdepth（深度）深浅；vwidth（宽度）宽窄；vweight（重量）轻重vTime mutes all
19、 feelings.v 时间的消逝会使各种感情变得淡漠。vOdd though it sounds,cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary-particle physics,and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.v 宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇妙，但它是基本粒子物理学中一些公认理论在科学上看来可信的推论，
20、很多天体物理学家七、八年来始终认为这一学说是正确的。vMarriage may be compared to a cage:the birds outside despair to get in and those within despair to get out.v 婚姻好比鸟笼，外面的鸟儿想进进不去，里面的鸟儿想出出不来。四、客观性与主观性v英语特别强调具体的实例证明，而汉语更宠爱抽象的概念表述，并且汉语表达还特别讲究高度的概括性。v“主观”和“客观”的风格差异在劝服性文章上体现得更为明显。英美人遵循的主要原则是：Let the facts and logic speak for the
21、mselves.（让事实和逻辑为自己说话。）他们靠客观的看法、令人信服的事实和严谨的推理来折服读者。中国学生在写这类文章时，简洁受汉语思维的影响，措词和语气更富有战斗性，常用“all of us have no choice but.”,“we must”,“you should”,“it is absolutely wrong to.”之类的句子，这在英美人看来是作者的主观看法，有点强加于人却不能真正劝服人。vAll the people want to be successful in life and work.Success is one of the primary motivati
22、ng factors of human society.But we must not say,it is our basic biological need,although it can bring a person position or wealth he needs.In the pursuit of success,we should have a right attitude toward failure no fear for it is the best policy as a Chinese old saying says,“failure is the mother of
23、 success.”primary：主要的，初期的，根本的 生理的：physiologicalv每个人都想在生活和工作中取得成功。成功是人每个人都想在生活和工作中取得成功。成功是人类社会主要的动力之一。尽管成功能给人带来所类社会主要的动力之一。尽管成功能给人带来所需的地位和财宝，但是我们不能说成功是我们的需的地位和财宝，但是我们不能说成功是我们的基本生物需求。在追求成功的过程中，我们应当基本生物需求。在追求成功的过程中，我们应当用正确的看法看待失败用正确的看法看待失败-最好的方法是不惧怕最好的方法是不惧怕失败，正如一句中国古训所说：失败，正如一句中国古训所说：“失败是成功之失败是成功之母。母。
24、vEven though everyone has different concepts about what constitutes being successful,almost all individuals experience the constant pressure to succeed.While most people would still consider an important position or great wealth as a sign of success,others are realizing that the term embraces many m
25、ore elements.To me,success means the achievement of ones goals.It includes a feeling of accomplishment,a willingness to overcome fear in attempting something new,and a sense of self-improvement in reaching the goal.每个人对什么是成功有不同的观点，但几乎全部的人都经验过为取得成功所承受的长期压力。虽然多数人仍旧把身居要职和腰缠万贯看成是成功的标记，但也有人相识到成功包含着更多的东西。
26、对我而言，成功就是实现了自己的目标，它包括尝试新事物的成就感和克服恐惊的主动性以及在实现目标的过程中的自我完善。五、前重心与后重心v英语多前重心，汉语多后重心。所谓前重心是先说结果后说细微环节。后重心则是先说细微环节后说结果。v You need to fight for your point of view when something is counter to your values or threatens a project the organization supports.v 当所发生的事情与你的价值观完全相反或者对你的机构所支持的项目有威逼时，你须要为你的观点而战。（句尾重心）
27、vThere is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.v译文：方法论是指一般的历史探讨中特有的概念，还是指历史探讨中适用各个具体领域的探讨方法，人们对此看法不一。（句尾重心）v英语结构紧凑，汉语结构松散。语言学家以“竹节句法”来比方英语句子，即英语句子是由不行或缺的各
28、种连接词连接而成，犹如节节相连的竹子,所以英语中每句都有形态保持一样的主语、谓语,从句与主句之间又有连词作形式标记说明两者之间的关系；而汉语句子则被比方为“流水句法”，即少用乃至不用连接词仍可保持行文流畅,所以汉语中常用小句而不用句子做基本单位,有时一小句接一小句，很多地方可断可连。六、竹节句法与流水句法v知己知彼，百战不殆。v Know the enemy and know yourself,and you can win a hundred battles.v Conquer the desires，or they will conquer youv 你不战胜欲望，欲望就会战胜你。vIt
29、is sometimes the fate of a poet to succeed only when he has one foot in the grave.v 有时候一名诗人命中注定只有在一只脚踏进坟墓的时候才会成功。vFound throughout Central and South America,the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs,sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving infrequently.v 树懒产于中南美洲各地，它靠长而有弹性的四肢挂在树上，每天睡15个小时，
30、很少移动。vIt applies equally to traditional historians who view history as only the external and internal criticism of sources,and to social science historians,who equate their activity with specific techniques。v它同样适用于将历史仅仅看作是对历史材料来源的内部的和外部的指责的传统历史学家，和把历史探讨活动等同于具体探讨方法的社会科学历史学家。v它同样适用于传统历史学家和社会科学历史学家，传统历
31、史学家(或前者)将历史仅仅看作是对历史材料来源的内部的和外部的指责，社会科学历史学家(或后者)把历史探讨活动等同于具体的探讨方法。v传统历史学家(或前者)将历史仅仅看作是对历史材料来源的内部的和外部的指责，社会科学历史学家(或后者)把历史探讨活动等同于具体的探讨方法。它同样适用于这两类历史学家。七、理性型与绘画型v从语序来考察，汉语更像是一种“绘画型”语言，即汉语词序是按实际生活阅历依次排列的，相当感性,尤其是在口语中表现得比较明显,比如：“我开完会，你再来找我。”而英语词序与事务经验先后无关，理解词序须要抽象的理性分析。1.英语遵循从小到大、由近及远的排列原则，而汉语刚好相反。No.5,Xi
32、ngshikou Road,Haidian District,Beijing，China 2.英语讲究先实后虚，而汉语更看重先虚后实（重心）。3.英语倾向于先表态，后叙事；汉语则宠爱先叙事后表态。Today it seems perfectly natural(表态)for us to shake hands when we greet someone or say goodbye(叙事).现在,我们在见面或告辞时握握手(叙事)似乎是很自然的了(表态)。4.状语位置差异。There is a tourist attractioncalled the Badaling Great Wallwhi
33、ch you can reachin about two hoursby going northwestby tourist bus from downtown Beijing.从北京市区坐旅游车向西北走大约两小时左右可以到达一个叫八达岭长城的旅游胜地。5.定语位置差异。The memories a favorite old song recalls can be so clear that hearing it almost like watching a movie of your life and times.（后置定语:省略关系代词的定语从句a favorite old song re
34、calls;介词短语of your life and times）一首你最爱的老歌所唤起的记忆可以特别清晰,听这样一首歌几乎就像看一部描写你的生活和时代的电影。（英语的后置定语在汉语中前置）有状语功能的定语从句v译成”因”的分句vWe know that a cat,whose eyes can take in many more rays than our eyes,can see clearly in the night.v译:我们知道,因为猫的眼睛所摄入的光线比人眼多,所以猫在夜间看物体很清晰.v译成”果”的分句vThere was something original,independ

36、译:人们起先急迫的找工作,只要能帮助他们维持家庭生活,任何工作都行.同位语从句的转序vYet,from the beginning,the fact that I was alive was ignored.v译:然而从一起先，人们就忽视了我还活着这一事实.vBut I knew I couldnt trust him.There was always the possibility that he was a political swindler.v但我知道我不能信任他.很有可能他是个政治骗子.vIt does not alter the fact that he is the man re
37、sponsible for the delay.v译:他应对延误负责,这一事实无法变更.vHe expressed the hope that he would come over to visit China again.v译:他希望还能再次访问中国.vI have accepted my fathers decision that I was to be a doctor,thought the prospect did not interest me at all.v译:我已经接受了父亲的确定，将来做名医生,尽管我对这种想法并不感爱好.ExercisesvAfter Aunt Lena
