unit 1 unit 1 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?condensed?non-statement.??My?student?“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?on?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?dump,?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
