关于中英文思维之差异

今天在CD上发现了一篇好文,说的是中英文的思维差异。个人觉得不错而且对于备考GRE和GMAT阅读的同学。记得我在上课时曾经跟各位说过三个意思:
1. 读GRE和GMAT文章时重点应该放在前半段。
2. 此类文章中喜欢:“先结论后举例”的模式
“However, a number of features that are characteristic of wind-pollinated plants reduce pollen waste. For example, many wind-pollinated species fail to release pollen when wind speeds are low or when humid conditions prevail.”
3. 此类文章中喜欢:“先结果后原因”的模式。如:
“In sum, Gutman’s study is significant because it offers a closely reasoned and original explanation of some of the slaves’ achievements, one that correctly emphasizes the resources that slaves themselves possessed.”
再如:“This taboo against cousins’ marrying is important, argues Gutman, because it is one of many indications of a strong awareness among slaves of an extended kinship network.”
各位可以把这篇文章好好读一下,相信一定有所帮助。
大家想不都清楚,东方人和西方人的思维上有很大差异。举个简单的例子,拿中医和西医来说,同样是感冒发烧,西医就直接给你开退烧药,中医就得看你是风寒还是风热,有时候都不开药,直接扎个针灸拔个火罐,好了!看出来了吧,西方人和东方人的差别。西方人讲究头疼医头脚疼医脚,直来直去;东方人则是迂回着,委婉着,最后才到重点。
很多同学在写托福作文的时候没有注意到东西方人的语言差异,往往分数不理想。大家往往按照自己固有的思维去写作,把这种思维习惯带到新的语言里去。也许平时在咱们自己的地盘见到老外,这么说几句无伤大雅,可真要到了国外,就要吃亏了。
由于英美人的思维方式很直接,他们更习惯于从general到specific,从summarize到exemplify,从whole到respective。如果使用中文表达,我们更讲究前因后果。
比如我们会这样表达:足球运动员必须能不停地奔跑,有时得用头顶球,撞别人或被别人撞,必须忍受双脚和肌肉的疼痛,所以说,足球运动是一项难度大的运动。 而如果用英文,则会这样说:Soccer is a difficult sport.A player must be able to run steadily without rest.Sometimes a player must hit the ball with his or her head.Players must be willing to bang into and be banged into by others.They must put up with aching feet and sore muscles.
还有个例子,这是个便条,因为母亲突然生病,周末你不能和汤姆去跳舞了,你找了舞跳得很好的时黛来代替你,并表示抱歉。 用英语写,就是:
July 6,2002
Dear Tom,
I am sorry to inform you that I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend. My mother is suddenly taken ill.In order not to disappoint you,I have asked Shi Dai to take my place.She is a better dancer,I think.My regrets.
Joe
西方人的习惯是先把结果告诉你,再作解释。一般来讲,无论是单句还是段落,都是将主要意思和要传达的结果放在前。汉语则与之相反。
再有就是英语的句子环环相扣,连接紧密,也就是说有更多的连接词。而中文的句子缺乏连接词,仅通过意思使之联系。也是因为连接词和各种代词的使用,英语中更多的是长句、复合句。例如:It was on a Sunday evening,when he was lying in the orchard listening to a blackbird and composing a love poem,that he heard thegate swing to,and saw the girl coming running among the trees,with the redcheeked, stolid Joe in swift pursuit.翻译过来就是:一个星期日的傍晚,他正躺在果园里,一面在听画眉鸟的啁啾,一面在写一首爱情诗,忽然听得大门砰地关上,接着看见那姑娘从树丛里奔出来,后面飞跟着那呆头呆脑的红脸的乔。
英语的句子语法更为复杂,结构更加紧凑。而中文仅仅是几个简单的句子就把事情叙述完了。
还有,英文中被动句相当多。在英语中更经常地将不能实施行为动作或无生命的词作为主语。The fam ous hotel had been practically destroyed by the big fire.大火几乎使这家有名的旅馆全部毁灭。
英语的时态也是相当丰富多变的,有时甚至可以表达人物说话时的感情色彩。有些同学往往不能在写作中熟练运用事态,导致对事情地描述捱板僵硬,不够准确细致。有时汉语需要用某些词汇表达的意思,英文中只需要变化时态就可以解决了。比如:It has been noted that those who live,or have lived,in the shadow of death bring a m ellow sweetness to everything theydo.人们已经注意到大凡受到死亡威胁的人或是死里逃生的人对于他们所干的任何事总是兴趣盎然。
在词汇方面,英语往往比中文更丰富。各种结构的短语、词组。而且一词多义和同类词语的不同感情色彩也更繁杂。同学们一定要注意不同词汇对应的不同中文意思,在写作时选择不同的贴切的词汇。
只有充分了解硬汉表达的差异,在攻克托福作文的漫漫长路上才能走得更顺畅。希望同学们都能胸有成竹的前往考场。

对英文数字不敏感的请看

怎样听记VOA中的数字

  这里主要谈四位以上的数字和带小数点的百分数的听记问题。

  在收听VOA英语广播的过程中,听众时常会碰到许多数字,这是我国英语学习者的一大难关,四位数以上的数字更是如此。原因是英汉两种语言的计数单位不完全一样。它们的最大区别是:汉语中有“万”和“亿”这两个计数单位,英语没有;而英语的million(百万)和billion(十亿)这两个计数单位,汉语里却是在它们的前面加上十,百,千而构成的复合计数单位,于是形成了英汉数字的不同表示法。
  英汉两种语言的计数单位是不一致的,英语每四位数,汉语每五位数要变更其计数单位的名称,这就形成了四位以上数字的不同表示法。这些不同的表示法给英语学习者,尤其是给来辨别数量单位并接受信息的英语广播听众带来了很大的困难。
  怎样才能克服这一困难,做到准确无误地听记英语新闻中出现的数字呢?根据我们的收听实践,发现采取以下步骤,比较容易听记:
  1)根据美国英语中每逢四位数就要变更计数单位的规则,记数时采用国际习惯每隔三位数用一逗号分开,即1,000以上的数:先从后向前数,每三位数加一“,”,第一个“,”号前为thousand,第二个“,”号前为million,第三个“,”号前为billion(在英国英语国家中为thousand million),然后一节一节表示。例如:123,456,895,167,读成one hundred (and) twenty three billion four hundred (and) fifty-six million eight hundred (and) ninety-five thousand one hundred and sixty-seven.从这一读法中不难看出:除了trillion,billion,和million外,其他数字都是百、十、个的反复使用。
  2)以trillion,billion,million和thousand为中心,收听时集中注意力听清楚是多少个trillion,多少个billion,多少个million和多少个thousand,及时记下并在它们的后面分别用“,”分开,没有具体数字的就打上“0”。当然trillion的前面还有一些更大的计数词,其规律都是一样的。
  3)注意数字的书写表达方法。一般说来,英语数字的书写方法有以下三种:
  (1)如果数字能用一个单独单词来表达,就直接写出该单词。如:“一”、“九”、“十五”、“八十”就分别写作one,nine,fifteen和eighty。
  (2)如果数字要用一个复合数词或几个数词来表达,如:“二十一”、“九十九”、“一百零一”、“一千八百七十六”等等,通常就写出阿拉伯数字“21”、“99”、“101”、“1,876”等等。
  如果数字是比较大的整数,常常要用阿拉伯数字加英语单词一起来表达。如“一百六十万”、“四十五亿”就写成“1.6 million”和“4.5 billion”等等。
  另外,还有一些数字可以有两种读法。例如:
  1,000可读作one thousand或ten hundred,
  4,500可读作four thousand five hundred或forty-five hundred,
  500,000可读作five hundred thousand或half million。
  在VOA的英语广播中,如果数字达到或超过了billion,Special English和Standard English 的读法通常都不一样。如:The Chinese News Agency says China’s population has grown to 1,031,882,511 persons. (St.) Standard English的播音员将这一数字读作one billion thirty-one million eight hundred eighty-two thousand five hundred eleven。而Special English的播音员将这一数字读作one thousand thirty-one million。又如:World Bank President A. W. Clausen says the bank will lend China 1,000,000,000 next year. (St.) Standard English的播音员将这一数字读作one billion,而Special English的播音员将这一数字读作one thousand million,这一读法避免了使用billion这一没有被VOA Special English Wordbook收进的难词。
  数字中的另一难点是带有小数点的百分数,我们常常在经济、金融和其他涉及较精确的百分比的新闻中遇到。这些数字,特别是百分之零点几的数字的读法比较难懂,有的有几种读法,在一般的辞书和语法书中很难找到满意的答案。现根据录音材料,从这摘录一些含有这些数字的典型单句,按一定的规律排列如下,供读者参考:
  The report noted that the slowdown is less than the four and one half per cent (4.5%) drop in such economic activity during the last three months of 1981.
  The second largest bank in the United States, the city Bank of New York, has raised its prime interest rates to sixteen and one half per cent (16.5%).
  He (World Bank President A. W. Claysen) praised China’s economic progress in the last two years, noting the Chinese economy has grown almost seven point five per cent (7.5%) in the time of world recession.
  The Labor Department said almost 11 million Americans were out of work, about nine point eight per cent (9.8%) of the work force.  
  Almost 10 million persons in the US were unemployed in March. That means nine per cent (9%) of the American labor forces was out of work, and increase of two tenths of one per cent (0.2%) over February’s rate.
  Consumer prices in the US increased by only two tenths of one per cent (0.2%) in February.
  Producer prices in the United States increased by one tenth of one per cent (0.1%) in April, the first rise since January. Government economists say producer prices rose at yealy rate of only four tenths of one per cent (0.4%) during the first four months of this year.
  The Labor Department reports that producer prices increased by only one half of one per cent (0.5%) in October.
  The Federal Reserve Board says industrial production dropped eight tenths of one per cent (0.8%) in October.
  The Labor Department reports the prices in the US lowered only six tenths of one per cent (0.6%) last month. Prices has risen one fourth per cent (0.25%) in May and June.
  The World has a huge supply of fresh water, rivers, rain water, lakes and underground wells. But experts say that only abut one third of one per cent (0.3% or 1/3%) of the world’s total water supply is naturally safe for drinking.
  总的来说,英语数字的听记是英语学习者的一大难点,除了掌握一定的规律和技巧外,必须通过大量的听说读写训练,才能达到比较迅速而准确的目的。

英美英文日期的写法

英美英文日期的写法
  在日期方面,美英的表达方式是有差别的。以日为先,月份为后,此为英国式,美国式则与此相反。如一九九六年三月二日的写法:2nd March, 1996(英)March 2, 1996(美)。
  在美式的写法中,1st, 2nd, 3rd的st, nd, rd是不使用的。由于日期书面表达不同,读法也不一样。如1987年4月20日,英式的写法是20th April, 1987,读成the twentieth of April, nineteen eighty-seven;美式的表达是April 20, 1987,则读成April the twentieth, nineteen eighty-seven.
  同样,全部用数字表达日期时,英美也有差别。1998年5月6日按照英国式应写成6/5/98,而按照美国式应写成5/6/98;01.08.1998是英国式的1998年8月1日,按照美国的表达方式却是1998年1月8日,美国的1998年8月 1日应写成08,01,1998.因此,全部使用数字来表示日期时,往往发生误解,在雅思考试中我建议考生月份写全称,避免误会。
  表达百万以上的数字概念英美的差别甚大,如one billion英语指的是“万亿”,“兆”,而美语则只“十亿”;one trillion英语晨相当于million million million=1018,是百万兆,在美语里却相当于英国英语的one billion,是“万亿”、“兆”。
  在数字口头表达方面,两国也存在着差别。(175美元)英语读成a(one) hundred and seventy five dollars,美语读成one hundred seventy five dollars,常省略and;表达连续同样数字的号码时,英语习惯用double或triple,美语一般不这样用,如电话号码320112,英语读成three two zero, double one two,美语则读成three two zero one one two, 999 234英语读成nine double nine (triple nine) two three four,美语则读成nine nine nine two three four,不过美国人也把连续三个相同的号码读成three加上这个数字的复数形式,如999读成three nines.对于以上的数字读法,雅思考试听力部分多跟英式的规则,比如我们课上讲过的$184,就是读成one hundred and eighty-four,8前面出现连读,相当多考生听成是ninety-four,造成失分。试练下面几个机经的题目:
  金钱 285
  电话号码 98 18 40 78
  008 65 4713
  划横线部分数字分别都可以连读。
英文书信的日期写法


日期一般位于写信人的地址下方,即写在信笺的右上角。若书信格式是完全平头式,则写在左上角。常见的日期写法有:
1) 8th March,2004 或8 March,2004(英式)
2) March 8th,2004 或March 8,2004 (美式)

日期写法宜遵从下列规则:
1)年份必须完全写明,不可用"04代替2004;
2)月份必须用英文拼出或采用公认的简写,即 January (Jan.),February (Feb.),March(Mar.),April(Apr.),May,June,July,August (Aug.),September
(Sept.),October(Oct.),November(Nov.),December(Dec.);
3)日期可用序数词,如:1st,2nd,3rd,4th,...;也可用基数词,如:1,2,3,4,...。但美式书信大多采用后者;
4)在年份和月日之间必须用逗号隔开;
5)日期不可全部采用如7.12.2003或7/12/2003的阿拉伯数字书写,否则会引起误解。因为英美在这方面的习惯用法不同。按美国人习惯,上述日期为2003年7月12日,而按英国习惯则是2003年12月7日

One sandwich short of a picnic:意思是脑袋少根筋,愚笨。Generally used when telling someone they are really stupid

One sandwich short of a picnic:意思是脑袋少根筋,愚笨。笔者也见过'two sandwiches short of a picnic'的说法,但意思都一样。Generally used when telling someone they are really stupid.

类似'an X short of a Y'这样的短语还有很多,都是同样的意思,例如还可以说成one brick short of a load,a few fish short of a hatstand等等。
