作为一套家喻户晓的经典教材,新概念英语系列从几十年前推出至今依然受到很多人的推崇。下面小编就和大家分享新概念英语3究竟好在哪里,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧!

新概念英语3究竟好在哪里?

1.语言素材经典实用。新3文章虽然写于几十年前,但课文中包含的绝大多数语言知识点历久弥新,放到今天仍然非常实用。熟读过新概念3的同学会发现书中的很多短语句型在今天的英语材料中也同样频繁出现。比如课文中曾经出现过的all shapes and sizes/rise to fame/reduce you to tears/go into raptures/be under an illusion等说法都可以在The Economist等外刊上找到例证。

2.题材有趣,包含众多文化背景知识。通过新概念3不仅可以学到经典表达,还可以学到不少文化和社会知识。比如第45课The Power of the press讲述了现代新闻媒体对普通人生活可能带来的巨大影响,这一点在现实生活中可以找到大量的案例。第53课In the public interest则介绍了北欧的司法制度Ombudsman。此外,不少文章还带有英式冷幽默,比如第28课Five pounds too dear,第46课Do it yourself以及第50课New Year resolutions

第57课Back in the old country也是一篇经典佳作。主人公年少离家,和父亲相依为命,长大后受父亲临终委托只身回到故里,却发现沧海桑田,物是人非,故乡成为回不去的地方。这篇文章朴实而优雅,同时带着淡淡的哀伤,是一篇值得一读再读的佳作。

3.知识点密集。新3每一篇课文都包含大量语法和词汇知识点,比如定语从句、虚拟语气、完成时态等。教材60篇课文所涵盖的词汇量也比较可观,学完新概念3后你的词汇量会有一个比较大的提升,基本能够应对四六级以及考研英语的词汇量要求。

为了最大限度掌握新3课文表达的精髓,我们可以采用“回译法”。回译是指对译文再次翻译,把自己或别人的译文翻译回原文,然后将回译和原文进行比较。从比较中可以发现两种语言在结构和表达方面的差异,从而提高对目标语言的理解。新概念3课文就是一个很好的回译材料。

我们有时候会发现一些英文读起来好像很简单,但一到自己动笔才发现自己写不出那么简洁有力的句子。而“回译”能够帮助我们意识到原文表达的精彩之处并且更好地掌握它们。

举个例子,新3课文有这么一段话:

去年春天,妻子让我请人检查一下我家的割草机。那台割草机去年夏天就坏了,尽管我答应修,但一直没抽出时间。我不愿听妻子的建议,说我自己会修。

你可能会将它翻译为:

Last spring, my wife suggested I ask a man to check our lawn mower. The lawn mower went wrong the previous summer, and although I promised to repair it, I never had enough time to do it. I did not want to take my wife’s advice, and insisted that I would repair it.

课本原文则是:

Last spring my wife suggested that I call in a man to look at our lawn mower. It had broken down the previous summer, and though I promised to repair it, I had never got round to it. I would not hear of the suggestion and said that I would fix it myself.

通过回译和原文的对比,我们可以得出几个结论:

(1) call in比起ask要更为精确,call in somebody to do something是一个固定搭配,意思是“请来某人做某事”;

(2) “机器故障”可以用break down来表达,同时这句话用的是过去完成时,比起过去时更加准确,因为可以强调“割草机坏掉”这件事带来的影响。

(3) “某人没有时间做某事”可以用somebody never gets round to something/doing something来表达。比如“我一直想加个锁,但总是拖着没做”可以说:I keep meaning to put a lock on it, but I never get round to it.

(4) “不愿听(某人的建议、忠告等)”可以用would not hear of something来表达。

这样总结对比下来我们对课文的知识点会有更加深刻的认识。建议有空的同学可以选取新概念英语3当中比较感兴趣的课文或段落进行回译练习。在此基础上,我们还可以对课文做做笔头或者口头复述,关于复述的教程可见:怎样对一篇文章进行复述?

此外,需要课文详细分析的同学可以去看一看新概念3教材对应的《自学导读》,上面对课文中出现的长难句、词汇以及课后练习题都有比较详细的分析。
