是否擁有英語思維能力其實(shí)是決定一個(gè)人的英語水平是否到達(dá)一定層次的重要因素。記得中學(xué)時(shí)學(xué)過一篇講馬克思如何學(xué)外語的課文，至今仍然給我很深印象的就是馬克思提到，當(dāng)你想學(xué)好一門外語的時(shí)候，最重要的一點(diǎn)就是“… learn how to think in that language ．”這其實(shí)也就是我們平常所說的英語思維能力。那么如何培養(yǎng)英語思維能力呢 ? 我覺得首先應(yīng)該改變我們的思維習(xí)慣，也就是說，改變最初學(xué)習(xí)英語時(shí)那種將碰到的所有英語都先翻譯成漢語的習(xí)慣。其實(shí)這一點(diǎn)與上面提到的熟悉句子結(jié)構(gòu)也有著密切的聯(lián)系，因?yàn)楫?dāng)我們熟悉了句子結(jié)構(gòu)，克服了以單詞為反應(yīng)單位的習(xí)慣之后，我們就能自然而然地放棄最初那種首先把單詞都翻譯成中文再去理解句意的做法，而會(huì)因?yàn)閷?duì)整體句子的把握而直接抓住句子的意思。
另一個(gè)與英語思維能力有著密切關(guān)系的要素是語感。我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中常常會(huì)聽別人說語感對(duì)一個(gè)人英語水平的影響，“語感”這種東西說起來有點(diǎn)玄，也似乎難以說清楚它是一種什么東西，但它確實(shí)又能使一門語言真正在你的腦海里活起來。語感的培養(yǎng)甚至比語法知識(shí)的積累更顯得讓人難以把握。但其實(shí)說到底，只要你對(duì)英語足夠熟悉，“語感”也就自然而然地形成了。我們?nèi)撕腿酥g會(huì)“日久生情”，對(duì)一門語言也是同樣吧。要熟悉一門語言，我們無非也就是通過多讀、多寫、多聽來實(shí)現(xiàn)。朗讀文章就是培養(yǎng)語感的很好的途徑之一。我認(rèn)為除了我們用作教材的《大學(xué)英語》以外，《新概念》的第三冊(cè)就是一部很好的朗讀材料，這是因?yàn)槔锩娴奈恼麻L短適中，有一定難度，選詞考究，更主要的是它的語句結(jié)構(gòu)都非常規(guī)范，對(duì)語感的培養(yǎng)非常有幫助。下面一篇文章就是選自這本書。這篇文章里出現(xiàn)的都是常用的單詞，句式也不復(fù)雜，但意思的表達(dá)卻十分完整，非常符合提高聽力能力的要求。
The facts
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: ‘Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace. 'The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1, 084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.
但有一點(diǎn)必須注意的是：《新概念》一書選取的文章都是規(guī)范的書面式文體，這些文章與聽力考試所考會(huì)話式文體還有一定的差距，因此我們還必須通過其他的方法來熟悉會(huì)話式文體和口語化的表達(dá)方式。
另一個(gè)與英語思維能力有著密切關(guān)系的要素是語感。我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中常常會(huì)聽別人說語感對(duì)一個(gè)人英語水平的影響，“語感”這種東西說起來有點(diǎn)玄，也似乎難以說清楚它是一種什么東西，但它確實(shí)又能使一門語言真正在你的腦海里活起來。語感的培養(yǎng)甚至比語法知識(shí)的積累更顯得讓人難以把握。但其實(shí)說到底，只要你對(duì)英語足夠熟悉，“語感”也就自然而然地形成了。我們?nèi)撕腿酥g會(huì)“日久生情”，對(duì)一門語言也是同樣吧。要熟悉一門語言，我們無非也就是通過多讀、多寫、多聽來實(shí)現(xiàn)。朗讀文章就是培養(yǎng)語感的很好的途徑之一。我認(rèn)為除了我們用作教材的《大學(xué)英語》以外，《新概念》的第三冊(cè)就是一部很好的朗讀材料，這是因?yàn)槔锩娴奈恼麻L短適中，有一定難度，選詞考究，更主要的是它的語句結(jié)構(gòu)都非常規(guī)范，對(duì)語感的培養(yǎng)非常有幫助。下面一篇文章就是選自這本書。這篇文章里出現(xiàn)的都是常用的單詞，句式也不復(fù)雜，但意思的表達(dá)卻十分完整，非常符合提高聽力能力的要求。
