TEXT A
An impressive English lesson
一堂难忘的英语课
1 If I am the only parent who still corrects his child's English, then perhaps my
son is right. To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a
man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.
如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言，我
是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我
儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former
students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest
anticipation.
我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学
生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？”
3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words,
and then exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"
她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！”

4 And that was it. The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman
architecture were captured in a condensed non-statement. My student's "whoa!"
was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.
没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！
我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5 There are many different stories about the downturn in the proper use of
English. Surely students should be able to distinguish between their/there/they're
or the distinctive difference between complimentary and complementary. They
unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these knowledge deficits because there is
a sense that they should know better.
关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸
如their/there/they’re之间的不同，或区别complimentary跟complementary之间
显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆
论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 Students are not dumb, but they are being misled everywhere they look and
listen. For example, signs in grocery stores point them to the stationary, even
though the actual stationery items — pads, albums and notebooks — are not
nailed down. Friends and loved ones often proclaim they've just ate when, in fact,
they've just eaten. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to criticize our students.
学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示
