My student 我的学生
【Unit 1 Relationships 关系 · Lesson 1 Teachers 教师】
一、课文原文及逐段翻译
【原文】 I’ve read a couple of Graham's books and seen him on TV. I always say to my wife, “Oh look, I used to teach him!” I remember Graham was very difficult before he came into my class. I had heard stories about his bad behaviour. Once I caught him and his friends seeing who could jump the farthest off the school stage! But when he got interested, he changed. The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up an experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full attention. He loved science! He was very bright and he had done very well in science subjects.
【译文】 我读了几本格雷厄姆的书,也在电视上看到过他。我总会对妻子说:“喏,看,我曾经教过他!”我记得格雷厄姆来我的班上之前学习很成问题。我听说过一些他的不良行为。有一次我撞见他和几个朋友比赛,看谁能从学校的舞台上跳得最远。但当他对学习产生兴趣时,他变了。第一次走进我的班级时,他书包在身后拖着,一幅百无聊赖的样子,当我用酸和洋葱做了一个展示人类的胃如何运作的实验时,他全神贯注。他爱科学!他非常聪明,科学课学得非常好。
【原文】 However, I have not done as well with all my students as I have with Graham. I think it's important to understand that there's no such thing as a good or a bad student. Look at Graham! Everyone is good at something and it's important to find out what that is for each student. We teachers should have more time to make friends with all our students and really understand them. Then we could make sure that we found the path to success, both at school and in later life, for all of them.
【译文】 不过,并不是每一个学生我都能像教格雷厄姆那么成功。我认为重要的是要知道没有所谓的好学生或者坏学生。看看格雷厄姆!每个人都有擅长的事,重要的是要找出每个学生擅长的是什么。我们老师应该花更多的时间和所有的学生交朋友,真正了解他们。这样才能确保我们为他们都找到了通向成功的道路,不管在学业上还是以后的生活中。
【原文】 I knew I had chosen a job with a lot of stress but I love what I do. The thing about being a teacher is that you have access to children's minds when they are open and eager to learn. If what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham into such a successful adult, then I know what I’m doing is worthwhile. As John Dewey, the famous educationalist, said, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
【译文】 我知道我选择了一份压力很大的工作,但我爱我的工作。做教师意味着,你有机会在孩子们敞开心扉、渴望学习的时候,走进他们的心灵。作为老师如果可以帮助像格雷厄姆这样的孩子成长为如此成功的人,那么我知道我做的是值得的。正如著名教育家约翰·杜威所说:“教育不是为生活做准备;教育就是生活本身。”

五、长难句拆解
【原句】The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up an experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full attention.
【主干】he was dragging … and looking bored, but … he gave me his full attention.
【分层】The first day he walked into my class 为时间状语(省略 when);as soon as 引导时间状语从句,其中 to show … 不定式表目的,how the human stomach works 为 show 的宾语从句,using acid and an onion 现在分词作方式状语。
【翻译】第一次走进我的班级时,他书包在身后拖着,一幅百无聊赖的样子,而当我用酸和洋葱做一个展示人类胃如何运作的实验时,他全神贯注。
【考点】as soon as 引导的时间状语从句嵌套不定式目的状语与宾语从句;现在分词 using 作方式状语;but 连接前后态度对比(bored → full attention)。
【原句】If what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham into such a successful adult, then I know what I’m doing is worthwhile.
【主干】If … can help turn …, then I know … is worthwhile.
【分层】If 引导条件状语从句,其中 what I do as a teacher 为主语从句;turn … into … 为 help 后的宾语补足语(help do);then 主句中 what I’m doing 为主语从句,is worthwhile 为系表。
【翻译】作为老师如果可以帮助像格雷厄姆这样的孩子成长为如此成功的人,那么我知道我做的是值得的。
【考点】what 引导的主语从句(what I do / what I’m doing);help (to) do 省略 to;turn … into … 使役结构。
六、语法点清单
- 时态:现在完成时(I’ve read, have done)与一般过去时(was, came, caught)交织,回顾学生过往。
- as soon as 引导的时间状语从句(主将从现/主过从过)。
- catch sb doing:感官动词 + 宾语 + 现在分词(强调动作进行)。
- 主语从句:what I do as a teacher / what I’m doing。
- 宾语从句:that 引导(it's important to understand that … / that there's no such thing …)。
- 直接引语与比喻:As John Dewey said, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
七、逻辑链
1. 引子(第1段):以“我曾在电视上看到他”建立反差——当年“难管的问题学生”已成成功人士。
2. 对比铺垫(第1段):用 jump off the stage、dragging schoolbag、looking bored 等细节刻画“厌学”,再用 acid+onion 实验使其 full attention,完成“兴趣转变”的具象论证。
3. 观点升华(第2段):由 Graham 推及全体——“没有好坏学生之分,每个人都有其擅长”,提出教师应多了解学生、助其找到成功之路。
4. 价值收束(第3段):教师工作虽有压力但值得,因能 access to children's minds;引杜威名言点题“教育即生活”。
5. 双文呼应:上篇(学生视角)与下篇(教师视角)互为镜像,共同支撑 Unit 1 “关系/师生”主题。
八、写作迁移(仿写与输出)
模板:There's no such thing as a good or a bad student. Everyone is good at something and it's important to find out what that is.
课文句:I think it's important to understand that there's no such thing as a good or a bad student.
仿写:There's no such thing as a born loser. Everyone has a gift and it's important to find out where it lies.(没有天生的失败者,人人都有天赋,重要的是发现它在哪。)——可用于议论文“潜能/差异”段。
模板:The thing about … is that …
课文句:The thing about being a teacher is that you have access to children's minds when they are open and eager to learn.
仿写:The thing about travelling is that it broadens your mind when you are ready to embrace the unknown.(旅行的妙处在于,当你愿意拥抱未知时,它拓宽你的视野。)
