There are too many unreliable translations now

Now the country is filled with the atmosphere of learning foreign languages. Learning is mainly English, and this choice is completely correct. Because English has actually become a world language. After learning English, you can almost travel all over the world, and you can't touch the difficulty of language. The level is poor, sometimes it is supplemented by a little gesture. That is not hurt. The role of language lies in communication. In general life, thoughts will never be too complicated. Knowing a little foreign language, even if it is a bit puppet, it is not a big deal. As long as the thoughts of "old internal" and "foreigners" can communicate, it is OK. Is it difficult to learn foreign language? What are the shortcuts? As the saying goes: "There is no difficulty in the world, I am afraid of people." The so -called "heart -interested person", I understand that people who have ambitions to learn and be willing to have brains. I ca n’t afford to lie, and people who come to the stuffing cake in the sky are absolutely not good to learn foreign languages, and other things will not learn well.

As for the "shortcut" problem, I want to quote the ancient European geometry scientists Ou Gulid (maybe another person. The old and faint, not sure) said, "There is no imperialism in geometry!" "It is the road that the emperor takes. There is no shortcut to study foreign languages. Everyone is equal, and they have to work. This learning method and that kind of learning method sells in the market is not credible. Whatever method is inseparable from personal efforts and diligence. These words are always old -fashioned, but it will never be harmful to say. According to my personal experience, it is not very difficult to learn foreign languages, and it is not very difficult to learn foreign language. However, if we do n’t learn, we must learn more than 90 %, the higher the better. Without this level, your foreign language is useless, and it will even come out of Louzi. I said that, there is no contradiction with the above. The above is only a simple communication, but here is studying, translating books, and doing important interpreters. There are not many translations on the market, there are hundreds of mistakes, and the translation is bizarre. These are the translators who have some quick success, very low and too lazy to even refuse to check even. If you say bad words, these are all fake and shoddy products, which should be included in the beating. I often have a metaphor: those who study foreign languages ​​seem to be a group of carp, traveling under the dragon gate of foreign languages. The carp, who is willing to work hard, after hard work, study hard, persevere, do not play tricks, and do not find shortcuts. The master of a foreign language, the foreign language is used by him. If you don't do this, you will swim downstream in the dragon gate, refuse to work hard, and refuse to study, that is, one hundred years of tour, he is still a carp. If it is a carp that is safe, it will not harm others. If you are restless, you will inevitably fall into the list of fake and shoddy, which will harm others and harm yourself. To be honest, to learn foreign language honesty. There is no universal trick to learn foreign language. As the saying goes, "Shu Shan has Lu Qin as a trail, and learning the sea without suffering." This is the trick.

Not long ago, I wrote a "Study Foreign Language", which is limited to space, and it is still endless. Now I will add a few more points.

Learning foreign language is related to teaching foreign languages, which is related to teaching methods. As far as I know, foreign language teaching in France is different. It is only based on China and Germany. China is slowly and gradual. After learning for a long time, it is not allowed to check the dictionary by themselves and read the original. In Germany, it is the opposite. It is said that a big linguist in the nineteenth century said: "Learning foreign language is like learning swimming, bringing students to the swimming pool, pushing the water one by one, as long as it is not drowned, the swimming is learned, and the drowning thing is unique. When I learned Russian, the teacher only taught me to read the letters, taught the fixture changes and verbs change, and immediately let us read Guohi's "Nose", desperately checked the dictionary every day, miserable. However, the initiative of the students was completely mobilized. In a semester, I finished "Nose" and a textbook. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Germany's practice has proved that this is effective. In that unprecedented disaster, when I was put on all kinds of unnecessary hats, some "revolutionary teenagers" criticized the teaching method I advocated by me, which made me cry without tears, and couldn't laugh. I also want to wake up here according to my experience and observation: can those scholars who have skipped the foreign language Dragon Gate can eat their own old books once and for all? I think the idea of ​​eating old books is very dangerous. A simple fact is often ignored by people: Everything in the world is changing at any time, so why not speak! A foreign language scholar, even if he has mastered a foreign language very well, if he does not follow the changes in this foreign language at any time, one day, he will inevitably find that he is out of date. Even your mother tongue is no exception. A person has stayed in a foreign country for a long time. Once he returns to his hometown, even if he has not changed his hometown, the language of his hometown, especially the vocabulary, has changed, and sometimes you can't understand it. I talk about personal experience. When I returned to China in Europe for nearly eleven years, I passed Saigon and Hong Kong. I heard the word "engaged" and the word "hurting my brain" from the overseas Chinese and Chinese population, which made me "hurt my brain." I have never heard of it before going abroad. The word "engagement" is a very useful word, a bit like the English DO. Now the word "engagement" is flying. When I visited Germany in the 1980s, I walked into the restaurant. According to the old habits of 40 or 50 years ago, the inspirationer was Hever ofer, and he was right. It turned out that this title has long been abolished. Therefore, I thought, no matter how good you are today, no matter how savvy you are, you must pay attention to the changes in language at any time, otherwise you will make a joke. The ancient Chinese said: "Learning to walk against the water, and retreat if you don't enter." Remember this sentence at all times. I also want to suggest: Teachers who teach foreign languages ​​in college or middle school today, it is best to go abroad for half a year every five years, so that they will not be left behind. Not long ago, I published two articles about learning foreign languages ​​in "Night Light Cup". I talked about my personal experience. Some readers wrote to me directly, and some wrote to the editor of "Nights Cup". It seems that I can't write another article. I can't answer all the questions in a short article. I am now a little personal opinion on the questions raised by Comrade Shanghai Hu Yingqiong. This opinion is a bit universal, so it still takes the space of the "Nights Cup".

The opinions I put forward in the two thousand characters mentioned above are summarized, and the following are not available:

First, contact the original text as soon as possible, do not let the grammar entangle your hands and feet, and the grammar gradually deepen in the process of contacting the original text. Second, both talent and diligence are needed, while the latter accounts for a large proportion.

Third, don't make a shortcut, there is no "imperial" in foreign languages.

After learning English and learning the second foreign language, it should be said that it is easier. The same language of English and German is a genus. The former of the grammar is simple on the surface, and it is difficult to master it. The latter changes complicated, especially the yin, yang, and middle sex of the noun. Remember that it is very troublesome. When memorizing words, we must memorize with the word der, DIE, and DAS, and you cannot memorize words like English. Pronunciation is extremely difficult to English, and the English dictionary must use international phonetic symbols. German is a word, not using the international phonetic symbols. The learning method is still the set I am talking about: contact the original text as soon as possible, not to check the dictionary, lazy people do not learn any foreign languages, and even the Mandarin will not learn well. I don't know the specific situation and specific requirements of Comrade Hu Yingqiong. The letter only talks about German scientific and technological data. Probably Comrade Hu currently wants to concentrate on this difficulty. I want to boldly propose a "no teacher" method for Comrade Hu and other readers for reference. You only need to find a German -speaking person to learn the letters for two or three hours. From then on, you can throw away the teacher's stick and walk by yourself. You find a reliable German technology book with a reliable Chinese translation, accompanied by a simple German grammar. First understand the approximate situation of grammar, so you do n’t have to go too deep, just read the original German text. The dictionary cannot be left, and the grammar is on hand. At first, it was necessary to fall into the fog of five miles. If you do n’t understand, read it again, maybe more than twice. When you think that you already have a general understanding of the original text, in order to verify the correctness you understand, only at this time, you can take the reliable translation to see how you understand what you know. Just read it like this, after reading the original text, and then working hard, you can slowly read the original German text without Chinese translation. The scientific and technological term, Yingde is quite similar, it is not difficult to remember, and in general, the grammar of science and technology books is extremely strict and standardized, not as elusive as literary works. Why do I say "reliable" translation again and again? The reason is extremely simple: there are too many unreliable translations now. Source: Ji Xianlin's "Learning Sea Panhalium: Academic Memoirs"
