这两天在阅读葛老先生的这本小册子:《葛传椝向英语学习者讲话》。这本书的撰写年代久远,如今苍茫岁月几十载过去,葛老也早已仙逝,但其中关于英语学习的建议依然对我们后来的英语学习者适用,或许籍此能拂去我们这些网络快捷时代学习者身上的一些浮躁气息,多些踏实勤勉。今日分享其中一些文段,供诸位一道学习和反思:
1
朗读的好处和倡议
Well,much would come of reading aloud. Reading aloud helps you to learn by heart, and learning by heart is essential to all who aim at writing well. Reading aloud helps you to cultivate good pronunciation and good intonation,and good pronunciation and good intonation are essential to all language learners. Reading aloud helps you to discover certain beauties of language that you may fail to see in your silent reading. Unless you read aloud, you cannot learn to write naturally or to appreciate literature.
Besides, what English-speaking persons get from speaking you may get from reading aloud, which will help you in the same way as speaking would, though perhaps less quickly.

为什么学了那么多语法,还是写不出像样的文章?
I believe you have already read a few grammars,and probably have spent a great deal of time on the subject,though you may not now be able to write anything——say a short letter——grammatically perfect. Grammar may help you to use English,but only to a certain extent. Do not look on the study of grammar as all or nearly all that you have to do in order to master English. Careful reading and constant practice are far more important.
3
不是表达有问题,可能是你的理解有问题
Chinese learners of English often misunderstand or fail to understand a group of simple words put together in a simple way. My advice is to stop to think again when you find something unnatural in an expression. That something is perhaps not in the expression itself but in your interpretation of it.
4
要不要读词典?读其中的常见词条。
I myself have never read any dictionary through;no,not even those that bear my name on the title-page. But, I used many years ago to read through many articles on common words in the Concise Oaxgford Dictionary. I found that very helpful
in the mastery of common words and phrases.
Such common words and phrases can be very easily picked up by English-speaking boys and girls.But they are not likely to be acquired by Chinese students without
any special effort in this respect. The reading of articles on common words in dictionaries is no doubt a great aid.
5
分主题编写一本属于自己的词典,只需记书、页数和行数
Now I think that every learner could make his own dictionary of usage. He could keep a notebook in which to record, in alphabetical order, such points of usage as he might find of particular interest to him. Such a book would serve him as a constant companion to composition, though many things in it might seem quite dull or useless to others.
And I think that every learner could make his dictionary of usage as large as the sum total of the books he reads. I mean that he might make a usage index, so to speak, to those books. For a particular point he would have to record only the book, the page, and the line concerned. He would some day be able to point to his library and say "This is my dictionary of English usage". What a great work!
6
**不使用在阅读中未见过的任何结构、表达方式和词组
I have found it so helpful that I believe you will do well to adopt it. The principle is that you should use no construction, no form of expression, and no combination of words, that you have not seen in your reading.
I would therefore advise you to use no word that you are not sure you have seen used by standard authors, and to consult your dictionary in cases of doubt.
7
比扩大词汇量更重要的是将已有认知词汇转换为积极词汇
True, the average Chinese learner of English has a very limited vocabulary, but I think he has something moreo important to do about his limited vocabulary than to enlarge it. He has yet to know many more words before he can master English. Nor can he master English till he has acquired a better understanding of most of the words that are in his vocabulary.
8
不是每一个你认为理解的词真正是你自己的
A word is not your own until you can use it correctly. You may know one or more Han equivalents for a word and yet you may not be able to use it correctly. I am afraid that of all the English words that the average Chinese learner can translate into Han, less than half may really be called his own.
9
语言是需要开口说出来的
In fact, language is essentially a spoken thing. To study English without trying to speak it is not advisable. And it is absurd to read a conversation book in just the same manner as to read a grammer.
Besides, as ordinary written English is not quite different from ordinary spoken English, to learn to speak is a very good way to learn to write. One who speaks good English writes good English too. The pen cannot go wrong where the tongue goes right. Many everyday phrases and everyday constructions come natural to one who uses them in speaking.
读罢掩卷,作为英语教育界先驱的葛老先生那种严谨、踏实的治学风格让人动容。愿你我都能在英语学习道路上奋进不止,在孤独的探索中,开出盈满的知识之花。
