一、课文原文及逐段翻译
Reading for Writing · Learning English 学习英语(关于"学英语困难"的小组讨论)
主持人原文:Wang Le: Hey, everybody, what are your biggest problems with learning English?
译文:王乐:嘿,各位,请问你们在学习英语时遇到的最大问题是什么?
刘文原文:Liu Wen: Hi! I've been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice?
译文:刘文:你好!我从小学就开始一直学习英语。我以前英语成绩挺好的,但现在我的听力有很大的麻烦。我在视频中听以英语为母语的人说话时,只能听明白几个单词。我从来就没能完全搞懂过大意。有什么建议吗?
佳欣原文:Jia Xin: Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host's! My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It's so much easier to just say "Open the window!", but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, "Open the window, please!" or "Could you open the window, please?" or even longer "Would you mind opening the window, please?"
译文:佳欣:听英语广播节目有助于我习惯母语人士的说速。我还会复述我所听到的,以此来培养语感。有时我甚至还给自己录音,这样一来,我可以听自己的发音,并把我的发音与广播主持人进行比较!我最头疼的问题是如何得体地使用英语。说"打开窗户!"很容易,但在英语里,这样说听起来真的太糟糕了。我必须考虑到我在跟谁说话,然后再决定是说"请打开窗户!"还是"请你打开窗户,好吗?"或者说句更长的"请问,您介意打开窗户吗?"
李瑞原文:Li Rui: Yeah, that's really hard! I think it all depends on who you're talking to. If I'm talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like "Open the window"—our relationship is close and we're equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us. But if I'm talking to someone who isn't very close to me, I must make my request longer—and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., "Could you open the window, please?" If I'm talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, "Would you mind opening the window, please?" For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem—there are just SO MANY new words! I can't keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can't remember how to use them all properly. HELP!
译文:李瑞:是的,这真的很难!我认为这完全取决于你在跟谁说话。如果我是跟一位好朋友说话,我可以用简短的请求,比如"打开窗户",这是因为我们的关系亲密,彼此平等,所以我只需要几个字就能让对方明白我的意思。但是,如果我是跟一个与我不太亲近的人说话,那么我得把我的请求说得长一些—— 我得把它变成一个疑问句,而不是一个要求,例如,"麻烦你打开窗户,好吗?"如果我跟一个比我年长的人说话,那么我得说:"请问,您是否介意打开窗户呢?"对我而言,词汇是最大的问题——生词实在太多了!我不无法在脑子里记住所有的生词,当然也就记不住如何恰当地使用这些词汇。帮帮我吧!

动名词作主语:Listening to English radio programmes helps ...。
名词性从句:how fast ...(宾语从句)、what I hear(宾语从句)、who I'm talking to(宾语从句)、whether to say ...(不定式宾语)。
条件状语从句:If I'm talking to ...(三级 if 递进)。
定语从句:who isn't very close to me。归拢后:现在完成进行时 + 动名词主语 + 名词性从句(how/what/who/whether),是这篇对话的三条语法主线。
七、逻辑链
主持人设问(王乐):what are your biggest problems with learning English? 一句话抛出讨论主题——"学英语的困难",开启对话。
↓
困难一·听力(刘文):used to 成绩好 → but now trouble with listening → native speakers / catch only a few words / never get the main idea。用今昔对比凸显"听力滑坡",以 Any advice? 求助,完成第一个问题—对策缺口。
↓
困难二·语速与礼貌(佳欣):先给听力对策(radio programmes → get used to 语速;repeat / record / compare 练发音);随即抛出自己的 headache——how to be polite,并用三级句式(Open! / Could you ...? / Would you mind ...?)示范"语气随对象变化"。
↓
困难三·看对象与词汇(李瑞):接佳欣的礼貌话题,用 depend on who you're talking to 总括,再以 if 亲朋友 / if 不熟 / if 年长 三级条件,把"语气选择"系统化;最后落到自己的 biggest problem——vocabulary 太多、记不准、用不好,以 HELP! 收尾,形成"困难层层加码"的对话张力。
↓
共性内核:三人都围绕"困难 + 对策",且都涉及"对象意识"(native / who you're talking to / senior),呼应语言交际的核心——因境制宜。
八、写作迁移
模板一:I've been doing ... since ...
课文句:I've been studying English since primary school.
仿写:I've been practising the piano since I was six.(我从六岁起就一直在练钢琴。)——写长期习惯、持续状态。
模板二:I'm having a lot of trouble with ... / I have to ...
课文句:now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening.
仿写:I'm having a lot of trouble with my spoken English, so I have to practise every day.(我口语有很大困难,因此必须每天练。)——写困难与对策。
模板三:It all depends on who/what ...; If ..., I can ...; But if ..., I must ...
课文句:it all depends on who you're talking to. If I'm talking to a close friend, I can use short requests ... But if I'm talking to someone senior to me, I should say ...
仿写:It all depends on the situation. If it is formal, I should write an email; but if it is casual, I can just send a message.(这完全看场合。正式就写邮件,随意就发消息。)——写分类应对、条理表达。
