北师大版英语九年级全一册课文原文及翻译UNIT 1

Unit1 Language---Reading(1)

Body language is an important form of communication that is used everywhere, although we don't often think about it. Some messages are understood by people around the world simply because they are not communicated by words. For example, in many countries, people nod their heads to show agreement and they put their fingers up to their mouths to ask for silence.

尽管我们不经常研究肢体语言，但它已成为一种重要的交流形式，无处不在。世界各地的人们正是通过这些非语言交流形式来获得某些信息。举例来说，许多国家人们点头表示赞许，手指立着放嘴巴上表示安静。

However, body language is used differently in different cultures. For example, in some western cultures, people shrug their shoulders to show they don't understand or they don't care about something. This isn't common in other places. In Asian countries, such as Japan, people bow to show respect when they greet each other or say goodbye. This isn't done in the West.

然而，肢体语言在不同文化中使用不同。例如，在一些西方国家，人们耸肩表示对某事的不理解或是不在意。这一习俗在其他地方却并不常用。亚洲的一些国家，比如日本，人们在问候或分别时以鞠躬之礼以示尊重。在西方国家人们却不这样做。

Sometimes, people think they know about the body language customs of certain cultures, but in fact, they don't know enough. Take bowing as an example. Many travellers aren't sure how to bow or when to bow while in Japan. Kissing is another example that we need to learn about. In many European cultures, women and children are kissed on each cheek by family members or friends when they meet in the street. New friends are often greeted with a kiss on the cheek by Europeans at parties. Two men usually shake hands and put their free hand on each other's shoulders. In the Middle East, you must be careful about your feet. It is very rude to show the bottom of your shoe when you rest one leg on top of the other. It is also not polite to touch people with your shoes.

有时，人们自以为了解特定文化的肢体语言习俗，然而事实上，他们了解的还远远不够。以鞠躬为例，在日本很多游客对于何时鞠躬及如何鞠躬不甚了解。亲吻礼我们也需要多加了解。欧洲文化中，在街头相遇时家人或朋友会互相亲吻女士和小孩的脸颊。新朋友则会在宴会上亲吻脸颊。男士见面行握手礼，另一只手则轻放对方肩头。在中东地区，务必要留心你的脚。当一条腿放另一条腿上休息时，漏出鞋底是不礼貌的，用你的鞋子接触别人也是失礼的。

So, as we can see, body language is just as important as the spoken language when we communicate with people from other cultures.

由此可见，当我们与不同文化的人交流时，肢体语言和口头语言同等重要。

Well, I don't know how you all feel, but I find English really difficult. There are just so many words to remember, and the language structures are so difficult to understand. My problem is that I can't remember all the new words and I find long passages difficult to understand. I'm so worried. How can I improve my English?

唉，我不知道你们有什么感受，但是我发现英语真的很难。不仅需要记忆大量的单词，语言结构也很难理解。我的困难就是我不能记住新学的全部的单词，而且长的段落很难理解。我很担心，怎样才能提高我的英语呢？

Don't worry, David. I often use chants, songs and pictures to help me remember new words, and they're quite useful. I also check the number of words I can remember each day. Then I'll test myself again after one or two days. For very difficult words, I'll review them again one or two weeks later. The important thing is to review the new words often.

不用担心，大卫。我经常通过唱歌、看图片的方式来记忆新单词，这些方法很有用。我会每天对我记忆的单词进行检查，一两天后我会再自测一下。对于特别难的单词，我会一两周后再复习一下。最重要的就是要经常复习新单词。

For long passages, you should try to understand the general meaning and key points first. And for language structures, the best way to remember them is to use them. Try to do more reading, listening, speaking and writing in English. The more you use them, the easier learning English will be.

至于长的段落，你应该先了解段落大意和关键点。对于语言结构，记住它们最好的方法就是经常运用。多做英语听说读写练习，用得越多，学习英语就越容易。

As for me, I like to check my learning progress once a week. I usually make a list of things I do well and those I don't. Then I'll set my goals and work out a learning plan to achieve them. I find it very useful, and my English has improved a lot. By the way, I always reward myself when I achieve my goals.

对于我，我喜欢每周检测我的学习进度。我通常会把我擅长做的事情和不擅长做的事情列一个清单。然后我会订立目标，制定学习计划来完成目标。我发现这种方法很有用，我的英语有了很大的进步。同时，当我达成目标后我会奖励自己。

Never give up, David. Learning English is hard, but your English is already very good. I'm sure you'll find a learning method that suits you. Remember, we're all good at different things and we can all make a difference!

永不放弃，大卫。学习英语很难，但是你的英语已经很好了，我相信你一定会找到适合你的学习方法。记着，我们都擅长做不同的事情，而且我们可以做得很好！

Hi. I'm Minghua from China. I'm learning English and I feel so frustrated. There are just so many new words to remember and English grammar rules are really confusing. I become very nervous when I speak English, too. What should I do?

你好，我是明华，我来自中国。我正在学习英语，我感觉很沮丧。需要记忆的新英语单词很多，语法规则也让我很困惑。当我说英语的时候也很紧张，我该怎么办呢？

Hi Minghua,

明华，你好。

Don't be frustrated. Learning a new language is not easy. I can share some of my learning tips with you.

不用沮丧，学习一种新的语言是不容易的。我可以给你分享一些我学习英语的小技巧。

For vocabulary, I think it's useful to make word lists for different topics. For example, you can make lists for fruit, vegetables and animals. Then you can review them whenever you have time. The more you review, the more easily you'll remember! And when you want to speak or write on a certain topic, you can refer to those lists.

对于词汇，对不同的主题要列单词列表，我觉得这样很有用。例如，你可以把水果、蔬菜和动物的单词分别做个列表，然后当你有时间的时候就复习一下。你复习的越多，记忆起来就越容易。当你需要谈论某个主题或对某个主题写作时就可以参考这些列表了。

As for grammar rules, I've used pictures and tables to help me, for example with verb tenses. I've also tried to put difficult structures into songs, but I think the best way to remember grammar rules is to use them. These methods work well for me. You can have a try.

至于语法规则，我试过用图片和表格来帮助记忆。以动词时态为例，我之前试着把难的句子结构放到歌曲中。但是我认为记忆语法规则最好的方法是运用这些规则。这些方法对我很有效。你可以试一试。

In the past, I was also very nervous when I spoke English in class because I was afraid of making mistakes. Then, I tried to talk to myself. Whenever I was alone, I just talked to myself in English. It worked. Now I no longer feel nervous when I speak English in class!

以前，我在课堂上说英语的时候也会紧张，因为我害怕犯错。后来，我试着和我自己说。每当我一个人的时候，我就自己和自己用英语对话，这种方法很有效。现在，我在课堂上说英语的时候就不会紧张了。

I hope these tips are helpful for you. I am sure you will feel less frustrated soon.

我希望这些建议对你有帮助。我相信你很快就不会那么沮丧了。

Good luck!

祝你好运！
