2.初中英语作文谚语 篇二
一、分散渗透策略
教师可以结合教材和教学内容, 在课堂教学中渗透一些谚语、习语, 这也是谚语习语教学的主要途径和方法。在激发学生兴趣的同时扩大了学生的语言储备, 为提高学生的阅读理解和书面表达能力打下基础。
1.Daily talk
我在初三教学中, 尝试利用每课开始时的Daily talk引导学生进行谚语习语学习。学生按照学号每天由一名学生讲解一个有关谚语习语的故事。学生利用课外书籍、上网搜索, 找出了很多有趣的谚语习语故事。例如, Look out./No news is good news. (没有消息就是好消息) /Never count the chicken before they are hatched. (不要过早计划) /A piece of cake (小事一桩, 小菜一碟) 等等。让我意外的是, 学生竟然找到不同版本的“Look out!”的故事:一个日本学生在英国因为听到“Look out”, 把头伸出窗外, 结果被泼了一桶脏水。一个中国学生住在怀特夫人家楼下。怀特夫人养了几只聪明而漂亮的鹦鹉, 每天把鸟笼子挂到阳台上。一天, 中国学生听到怀特夫人大喊“Look out!”立即把头伸出窗外, 被掉下来的鸟笼子砸了个正中。学生们对故事很感兴趣, 每天这个时候教室里笑声不断。虽然只是短短的几分钟, 学生们既扩充了知识, 又锻炼了听力和口语, 一举两得, 何乐而不为?
有时学生搜索的谚语习语故事教师也不一定熟悉。听了学生的“You dont say.”的故事之后, 我才知道“You dont say”的真正含义是表示惊讶, 译为“真的吗?”A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语) , though my teacher mentioned the importance again and again.But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in a funny experience.One day, I happened (碰巧) to meet an Englishman on the road with his friend, and soon we began to talk.As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised, gently shaking his head, shrugging (耸一耸) his shoulders, saying, “You dont say!”“You dont say!”I was puzzled.I thought, perhaps this was not a right topic.So Id better change the topic.I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?By the way, have you ever been there?”“Certainly, everyone will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it.It is fantastic.”He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide.“The Great wall is one of the wonders in the world.We are very proud of it.”Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his order“You dont say!”I couldnt help (忍不住) asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didnt ask you to do so.”he answered in surprise.I said, “Didnt you say‘You dont say’”
Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears.He began to explain, “You donsay!‘actually meansreally?’It is an expression of surprise.Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.”I knew I hadnt understood him.Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expression.
2.典型例句, 精讲词汇语法
词汇教学最关键的是要给学生呈现典型例句, 借助例句精讲词汇的用法。我经常尝试以谚语习语来呈现词汇的典型用法, 起到了很好的效果。例如“trouble”可以作动词, 也可以作名词, 以“Dont trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. (不要自找麻烦, 不要杞人忧天) ”为例句, 用法一目了然, 而且读起来富有韵律感, 能吸引学生的注意和兴趣。又如以“Good advice is beyond all price.忠告是无价宝。”来学习“beyond (超过) ”;在学习“quarrel with sb.”时呈现例句“Dont quarrel with your bread and butter (勿自砸饭碗) ”;下面三个例句很好地归纳了“be worth sth./be worth doing sth.”:If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. (如果事情值得做, 就值得做好。) /An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening./ (一日之计在于晨) /One today is worth two tomorrows. (一个今天胜似两个明天。)
有些谚语习语可以帮助解释、归纳或者巩固语法现象, 教师可以先让学生熟读这些谚语习语, 再要求学生归纳句中包含的用法。如动名词作主语:It is no use crying over the spilt milk. (覆水难收) ;动名词作宾语:A man becomes learned by asking questions. (不耻下问才能有学问。) ;动名词作主语和表语:Seeing is believing. (百闻不如一见。) 又如在比较级和最高级的学习过程中, 我在结课时要求学生把下列句子译为汉语。既巩固了语法, 又拓宽了学生的知识面。It is easier to go up the hill than to run down. (下山容易上山难) ;Doing is better than saying. (与其挂在嘴上, 不如落实在行动上) ;Actions speak louder than words. (事实胜于雄辩) ;Blood is thicker than water. (血浓于水) ;East or west, home is best. (金窝银窝不如自家的狗窝) 。
二、集中教学策略
(译林) 牛津初中英语教材在9B Unit4Vocabulary部分集中呈现了一些英语中常用谚语习语。不少教师因为赶进度, 只是就教材进行英汉翻译, 不利于学生掌握和灵活运用这些谚语习语。我们认为教师应该充分利用教材资源, 并适当进行拓展, 系统复习操练初中涉及的谚语习语。我曾在这一课时的教学中采用头脑风暴、抢答、猜意思、翻译比赛等活动, 调节了课堂气氛, 激发了学生的学习热情, 取得了很好的教学效果。
1.头脑风暴。说出有关“动物”“颜色”“时间”“忠告”等方面的谚语。
2.抢答。教师说中文学生说英文, 或教师说英文学生说中文。
3.Guess what it means.教师呈现一些新的谚语习语, 让学生猜意思。
4.语境中运用谚语。呈现一些语言情境, 让学生匹配适当的谚语。如:
(1) It was Jacks birthday yesterday.His parents bought him a new bike and his grandfather gave him a new computer. (A lucky dog)
(2) We worked on the maths problem for a long time, but we couldnt work it out.It only took Tom a few minutes to work it out.To him, the problem means nothing. (A piece of cake)
5.谚语仿写:Who is the most imaginative? (谁最具想象力?)
(1) Like father, 1ike son. (有其父, 必有其子)
(2) It is easier to go up the hill than to run down. (下山容易上山难)
(3) It is no use crying over the spilt milk. (覆水难收)
6.Use proverbs to make my article more interesting (在作文中使用谚语, 让我的作文更美)
(1) A friend in need is a friend indeed. (患难见真情)
(2) A man is known by his friends. (什么人交什么朋友)
(3) An apple a day keeps the doctor away. (一天一苹果, 不用请医生)
(4) Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. (早睡早起身体好)
三、英汉对比策略
很多谚语习语中英文差异较大, 笔者认为采取对比教学策略, 可加深学生印象, 有效提高学习效果。例如, One boy is a boy, two boys half a boy, three boys no boy. (一个和尚挑水喝, 两个和尚抬水喝, 三个和尚没水喝。) There is no smoke without fire. (无风不起浪) /Let sleeping dog lie. (不要打草惊蛇) 。通过英汉对比, 既加深了学生印象, 也能激发学生学习的兴趣。
例如, 9A Unit2Colours中, 我布置学生课前查找有关颜色的谚语习语, 课上进行小组组间的竞赛, 一组说出他们小组搜集的谚语习语, 其他小组快速说出中文。英语中关于颜色的谚语习语与中文表达完全不同, 如be green with envy (红眼病) ;black sheep (害群之马) ;Yellow pages (美国商店和家庭里, 一般都有一本黄页电话查号簿) 。在小组比赛后, 把相关的谚语习语列出来, 让学生英汉搭配, 帮助学生巩固记忆这些谚语习语。
四、激励策略
英语中有很多谚语习语, 具有一定的激励性。借助这些谚语, 我们可以对学生进行思想教育, 教育他们立志、学习、奋斗。例如, 鼓励学生努力学习:Practice makes perfect (熟能生巧) /No pains, no gains. (没有付出就没有收获) /Art is long, but life is short. (人生有限, 学问无穷。) ;劝勉学生珍惜时间:Time and tide wait for no man. (时光不等人) /Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. (今日事, 今日毕) ;激励学生树立志向:Where there is a will, there is a way. (有志者事竟成) ;鼓励学生做事要有恒心毅力:All things are difficult before they are easy. (凡事总是由难而易) /Do nothing by halves. (凡事不可半途而废。) 等。教师可以在课前呈现这些谚语, 引导学生大声朗读;可以穿插在课的任何一个环节;也可以在黑板报设置专栏, 定期更换。长期进行这样的激励教育, 对学生的终生发展大有益处。
教学实践证明, 将谚语习语与教学融合起来, 能调动学生的学习积极性, 活跃课堂气氛, 丰富学生的语言知识, 提高学生的语言鉴赏能力, 起到事半功倍的效果。谚语习语为英语教学注入了活力, 增加了乐趣, 平添了几许诗意和精彩。

3.浅谈谚语在英语作文中的运用 篇三
关键词：谚语；高考作文；词汇量
不论是以新课程改革的要求还是以在历年高考题中出现的频率来说，英语谚语在英语教学中都有举足轻重的作用。学好英语谚语，不仅能帮助英语学习者了解西方文化，提高学习英语的兴趣和语言表达能力，也能陶冶情操，促进品德修养。在高中英语教学中，教师如果能加强英语谚语的教学，无疑可以提高学习的效率。
笔者结合教学实际，对谚语进行了活学活用的微探。
一、直接用于作文中，提高作文分数
学生都知道作文要想得高分，一定要有高级句型和高级词汇。不少学生在平时学习的过程中只重视背单词和词组，很少读书，所以，写起作文来不是总出错就是句子结构太简单平淡。在日常教学中，老师可以教学生一些谚语，甚至鼓励学生自己去搜集一些谚语，把它们用在作文里，为作文锦上添花。如：
1.A friend in need is a friend indeed.（“患难见真情”，当学生写到交友的话题时，可以用到）
2.No pains，no gains.（“一分耕耘，一分收获”，经常看到学生在高中作文里用到这句话，这句话不仅朗朗上口，适用的语境也很多。）类似的讲到努力的重要性的谚语还有：“An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.一日之计在于晨。“Practice makes perfect.”熟能生巧。“It is the early bird that catches the worm.”早起的鸟儿有虫吃。
二、在熟悉谚语的基础上仿写谚语
大多数谚语结构对称，学生可以在熟读熟背的基础上，用同样的结构造句子，举一反三，由此提高了写作能力，对于写高考作文有较好的促进作用。如：
1.Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.阅读对于我们心灵之重要犹如运动对于身体一样。学生的仿写：Clean water is to the fish what fresh air is to human.干净的水对于鱼之重要犹如新鲜空气对于人类一样。这篇作文是以环保为话题的。
2.Where there is a will，there is a way.有志者事竟成。学生据此仿写出：Where there is determination，there is hope.
3.It is the early bird that catches the worm.早起的鸟儿有虫吃。这句话用的是强调句结构，学生的仿写：It is love that makes a beautiful world.
三、巧用谚语，完善作文
在文章的开头或结尾运用一两句富有哲理的谚语，会为文章增色不少。在论证的时候用一两句谚语旁征博引，也会提高作文的档次。
1.作文题目：以约120个词就“空气污染”这个话题谈谈你的看法，内容包括：（1）你对昆明“禁止燃烧柴火”举措的评价；（2）简述你所在地存在的空气污染现象；（3）作为中学生，谈谈你如何为防治空气污染作贡献。在写评价的时候，学生可以用一句谚语来说明环境的重要性。比如：“I am totally in favor of the measures taken by the Kunming government.Although we may lose a traditional way of cooking，well get cleaner air.Anyway，a bit more green，more than a chance.A little green，less a glimmer of hope.（多一抹绿色，多一线生机。少一份绿色，少一丝希望）。”在谈到防治空气污染的措施时，学生可以用的谚语有：
Actions speak louder than words.事实胜于雄辩。
God helps those who help themselves.天助自助者。
Dont let our tears become the last drop of water on the earth.不要让我们的眼泪成为最后一滴地球上的水。
2.2015年南京市一模的作文讨论的是大学生在校园里参加劳动的必要性，不少学生都觉得大学生应该参加劳动，比如：“If a thing is worth doing，its worth doing well.”（这是一件值得做的事情，而且值得认真做。）“Many hands make light work.”（众人团结火焰高）.还有学生根据谚语中的强调句式进行了仿写：“It is only when we realize the importance of labor that we can build character and make the world a better place.”“It is not the labour itself but the benefits it brings that really count.”
四、给教学的建议
1.分类整理，精选谚语。英语谚语的数量多达几千句，教师要根据英语课堂的教学实际和学生的掌握情况，潜心研究谚语，从中精选与学生的学习生活密切相关的谚语，并结合翻译、造句，让学生真正做到学以致用。
2.日积月累，不断扩充学生的词汇量。在谚语教学实践中，教师要鼓励学生多听多说，可以在教室的黑板设立一块谚语角，也可以在上课前几分钟请同学和大家分享他最近整理的谚语。教师只要坚持，学生三年积累下来的谚语数量是惊人的。

8.论英语谚语翻译技巧 篇八
关键词:英语谚语;翻译;技巧
1引言
谚语民俗文化的结晶,是人类智慧的火花。英语是一种高度发展的语言,在其漫长的发展过程中,吸收了欧洲多个民族语言的精髓。英语谚语更是博采众长,特别是从古希腊、罗马文化及《圣经》中吸收了大量的营养。英语国家的作家、思想家如培根、莎士比亚、蒲柏和富兰克林等更是为这座宝库增添了许多丰富多彩的内容。但是,英语谚语的主体还是来自民间。那些无从考证出处而又家喻户晓的谚语是一代代普通民众长期积累、流传下来的思想火花与语言经典。英语学习者通过英语谚语可以浏览英语国家思想与文化的精华,领略英语语言的精悍与传神。优美的译文不仅帮助读者更好地理解英语谚语的含义,而且会带您走进一座智慧的殿堂、语言的宝库。
2英语谚语的翻译策略
由于英语谚语具有这些特点,翻译时就应当尽量保持这些特点。英语谚语不仅大量出现在文艺作品里,在政治和科学论文中也同样经常遇到。英语谚语翻译的好坏对整个译文的质量有直接的影响。因此,如何处理英语谚语是翻译中的一个极为重要的问题。译者除了忠实地表达原文习语的意义外,还应尽可能保持原文习语的形象比喻、丰富想象、修辞效果及其民族色彩和地方特色。英语谚语的语的英译汉有三种主要方法。
2.1直译法
直译法是在不违背译文语言规范以及不引起错误的联想的条件下,在译文中保留英语谚语的比喻、形象和民族、地方色彩的方法。例如:
After a storm comes a calm.风暴之后是宁静。
After rain comes fair weather.雨过天晴。
All things are difficult before they are easy.万事开头难。
As you sow, so shall you reap.自作自受。
As a man sows, so he shall reap.种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆。
2.2意译法
当直译有困难或勉强译出而读者无法理解时,一般应采用意译法。意译主要是指在翻译时抓住内容和喻义这一重要方面,牺牲形象、结合上下文比较灵活地传达原意。例如英语谚语A horse stumbles that has four legs,若将其直译成“有四条腿的马会失蹄”,这自然会给听者的理解带来困难,甚至会产生一种莫名其妙的感觉。
对于这类谚语的翻译,应采取意译法,以完全不同的词语将甲方语句的寓意准确地传达给乙方。如果我们将上例A horse stumbles that has four legs译成“人非圣贤,孰能无过”或“金无足赤,人无完人”,不失为成功的处理方法,汉译后,其形虽变,然其意依存。以下各例谚语的翻译均体现了“形相远而意相近”的翻译的原则:
Beggars cant be choosers.饥不择食。
The best fish are(或swim)near the bottom.好鱼居水底。/有价值的东西不能轻易得到。
The best fish smell when they are three days old.再好的鱼三天也要变臭。/久住招人嫌。
Butter to butter is no relish.千篇一律的东西令人生厌。
Care killed a cat.忧虑伤身。
The child is father of(或to)the man.三岁看到老。
2.3同义谚语套用法
有的英语谚语和汉语同义谚语在内容和形式上都相符合,双方不但有相同的意义和修辞色彩,并且有相同的或大体相同的形象比喻。对于此类谚语可采用“同义谚语套用法”。
Practice makes perfect.熟能生巧。
Seeing is believing.眼见为实。
Put the cart before the horse.本末倒置。
Diamond cut diamond.强中更有强中手。
Gifts blind the eyes.拿了手短,吃了嘴软。
There is no smoke without fire.无风不起浪。
3结语
谚语作为一种以简单通俗的语言来表达深刻道理的语句,常为人们所引用。在国际交往中,人们喜欢引用本国或外国的谚语。例如美国前总统里根1984年4月访华时充满深情地说:Since we arrived the graciousness with which we have been received has been heart warming.A Chinese proverb best describes my feeling:“When the visitor arrives, it is as if returning home.(宾至如归)。因此,译者在翻译英语谚语时应用恰当的翻译技巧准确无误传达原文的含义意义重大。当然,掌握了以上四种谚语的翻译方法并不等于找到了一把可以翻译所有谚语的万能钥匙。有些谚语的翻译需要译员“转形解意”,而有些谚语的翻译宜“以不变应万变”,以保其“原汁原味”。

12.巧用谚语激活英语教学 篇十二
一、巧用谚语, 丰富语音语调
英语学习中练习语音语调, 特别是发音, 是非常枯燥的一件事情, 很难激发学生的学习兴趣。而谚语能增强学生学习的乐趣, 这是因为英语谚语的独到之处。如学习双元音/ei/的时候, 让学生读单调的句子或词语wait来练习发音, 学生积极性不高, 如果用Haste makes waste (欲速则不达) 来练习, 学生很愿意学习, 会大大调动学生的学习欲。语音语调学习中, 融入谚语是进行学习的好材料, 也是一个有效的方法。众所周知, 大部分谚语具有结构对称、节奏鲜明、韵律和谐, 读起来琅琅上口的特点。一些谚语还使用了押韵、反复、对偶等修辞手法, 通过朗诵或者诵读谚语学习语音语调, 既能避免学习音标的枯燥, 激发学生的学习趣味, 又能培养学生的语感, 提高学生的应用能力。
二、巧用谚语, 增色词汇教学
目前, 要求初中生掌握的词汇量有不断增加的趋势, 对初中教师和学生来说, 这都是一个难题。初中英语单词大都是基本词汇, 基本词汇产生大量的谚语, 教学中融入一些谚语, 并让学生识记在谚语中出现的词汇, 有助于学生积累词汇和构词法知识, 是掌握词汇的有效途径之一。首先通过谚语学习词义。谚语读起来朗朗上口易于掌握, 词汇教学中融入谚语, 能优化词义学习。用“He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing.Don’t tell tales out of school.”学习makemistakes和tell tales, 有助于激发学生学习兴趣。其次通过谚语学习构词法。新课标指出初中生应具有较高的阅读能力, 遇到生词时能通过上下文猜测词义。构词法在词汇学习中占有重要地位, 词汇学习应掌握构词法知识, 这可以通过谚语来掌握。如可以通过“Actions speak louder than words. (事实胜于雄辩) 让学生认识到louder是loud的比较级。
三、巧用谚语, 优化语法教学
英语教学中语法教学是一大难点, 不仅是学生, 教师也觉得枯燥乏味, 为了强化记忆, 只能让学生反复的理解和记忆, 但效果不大。俗话说:兴趣是最好的老师, 有了兴趣学生才有了学习的积极主动性, 因此教师应提高学生的兴趣。谚语具有简洁凝练的特点, 在语法教学中深入富有哲理性的谚语, 将语法知识通过通俗易懂的谚语体现出来, 引导学生通过谚语学习语法, 能大大提高学生的学习兴趣。实践证明, 在语法教学中融入谚语, 能活跃课堂气氛, 提高教学效果, 无疑是一条捷径。如学习比较及时, 可以用谚语进行:Health is better than wealth. (健康胜过财富) Hunger is the bestsauce. (饥不择食) 如教学定语从句时, 可以用“Experience is aschool from which one can never graduate.” (经验无止境) 学习“which”的用法;教学状语从句时, 可以用“Where thereis a will, there is a way.” (有志者事竟成) 这句谚语。当然谚语在英语教学中的应用是很广泛的, 可以用在任何一个语言点的学习中, 如教学“without”用法时, 可以用“There is nosmoke without fire.” (无风不起浪) 教学too…to…用法时, 可以用“One is never too old to learn.” (活到老学到老) 教师在教学语法时, 如果巧妙的融入谚语, 能有效突破重点和难点。当然有些谚语的语法并不完全正确, 用语也不规范, 教师运用谚语时要精挑细选, 充分发挥其作用。
四、巧用谚语, 趣化写作教学
写作也是英语教学中的一大难题, 学生掌握大量的谚语后, 教师应指导他们灵活运用谚语, 在日常写作中加入一些谚语, 不仅能让人有耳目一新的感觉, 还能培养学生的书面表达能力。首先写作中引入谚语。英语中有很多生动的谚语, 是从劳动和生活中提炼出来的, 是英语语言的宝藏。英语写作中恰当的运用谚语, 能增加文章亮点, 使文章更具有说服力。如写作励志方面的文章时, 可以用God helps thosewho help themselves (自助者天助) ;Failure is the mother ofsuccess (失败是成功之母) 。其次让学生仿写、改写谚语, 提高英文写作水平。如结合Don’t judge a book by its cover (勿以貌取人) 仿写Don’t judge a man by his car (勿以车判断人) ;结合your year’s plan starts with spring (一年之计在于春) 仿写Your day’s plan early in the morning (一日之计在于晨) 。再次还可以让学生运用谚语进行命题作品练习。谚语具有短小精悍、寓意深刻的特点, 适合用作文章题目。教师可以用一个谚语作为题目, 让学生围绕主题自由写作。
总之, 谚语是英语语言中的瑰宝, 巧用谚语这一优质语言, 不仅能活化教学, 提高教学效果, 还能激发学生的兴趣, 提高学生的表达能力。
摘要：谚语是人民群众集体智慧的结晶, 具有言简意赅、哲理性强的特点。英语谚语也是英美文学艺术中的瑰宝, 对英语教学有着十分重要的意义。初中英语教学中谚语不仅能用作素材, 还能有效激发学生的兴趣。那么, 初中英语教学中如何巧妙融入谚语呢?本文主要结合自身教学实践, 就如何巧用谚语, 激活初中英语教学谈谈自己的看法与体会。
