農業(yè)推廣碩士英語教程

前言

　　呈現在讀者面前的是由郁仲莉副教授主編的《農業(yè)推廣碩士英語教程》。作為從事數十年農業(yè)院校英語教學并主編、主審過多本農業(yè)英語教材的老教育工作者，我欣慰地看到郁仲莉這一代教師在教育理念和教育實踐上繼承傳統、勇于創(chuàng)新的不懈努力。本教材既全面反映了編寫者豐富的研究生英語教學和科研經驗，又準確體現了農業(yè)推廣碩士這一特殊學位類型的英語學習的要求。　　具體來看，這本教材有以下幾個顯著的特點：第一，學用有機結合。通過大量實用、新穎和前沿的農業(yè)推廣領域的英文文獻，為學生提供了一個其他方式難以取得或替代的英語學習環(huán)境，這里不再有“學用分離”，有助于培養(yǎng)學生學習英語，特別是用英語為專業(yè)服務的興趣和信心。第二，結構編排包括主輔課文設計和課文練習設計合理而充分。每篇課文的輔助材料在專業(yè)點和語言點上都構成了對主課文的補充和擴展。每一課的練習不僅有課堂后的書面作業(yè)，更有適合于課堂上的分組集體討論等題目，因此把教材創(chuàng)新和教學創(chuàng)新很好地結合了起來，對教學雙方有效使用教材也有一定的引導作用。第三，每篇課文的注解不再拘泥于語言本身，關注的主要是從專業(yè)知識角度出發(fā)的難點和重點。這里重要的不是孤立的英語字詞或語法的意義，而是英語作為交際手段所傳達出的專業(yè)信息。學生不必將英語作為一門學問來學習（這是我國高校英語教學長期以來“費時低效”的一個重要原因），而是作為一個工具、一個媒介來使用，在使用中鍛煉和提高英語水平?！　∵@本教材是我國農科英語教材和專業(yè)學位英語教材編寫工作中的一項新的嘗試。毫無疑問，這項嘗試的價值及其有效性的切實發(fā)揮還有賴于廣大師生認真并創(chuàng)造性地使用該教材。是為序。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　The need to improve the content of extension, especially in connection with food crops, has promoted the setting up of international research centres such as the International Rice Research Institute （IRRI） in the Philippines and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre in Mexico. Innovations in the production of both cash and food crops are essential if a profitable programme is to be assembled for subsistence farmers.　　The advances which have been achieved by IRRI and similar institutions are the result ofc ooperation between extension and research staff. Innovations can only be adapted to the needs of local farmers by coordinated effort. Appropriate technology can be evolved only on the fields of farmers. Coordinating extension with other services　　The principal lesson to be learned from agricultural extension over the last 50 years is tha textension programmes succeed only when linked to research, the or ganised delivery of farm in put sand outputs, and credit and attractive prices for farmers. National extension services have contributed little in isolation because technical information without other facilities cannot assist the farmers. While it is true that extension workers should not get personally involved with organising credit, distributing supplies and marketing, they should be familiar with the activities of credit agencies and farm suppliers and be able to coordinate their work with them. In Latin American countries, officers of credit agencies are a major source of extension assistance.　　Recognition of the interlocking nature of agricultural-production systems lies behind such approaches to rural development as package programmes, contract farming, integrated development and community development. These approaches involve coordinated action by the development agency in a number of interrelated areas. Integrated development emphasises the importance of improved social services as well as the technical improvements of agriculture within a region. Underlying community development is the recognition that if people are to change their attitudes to agricultural progress, they must first have a good reason. Learning new agricultural practices is a means to an end and not an end in itself. Progress must begin with changes in the attitudes of people themselves.　　In all approaches to rural development, the role of the extension worker is basically the same: to demonstrate acceptable improvements and seek ways of bringing their adoption within the grasp of farmers. This work has long been central to rural development because extra production must always come first in order to:　　1. increase farmers incomes　　2. increase off-farm employment by spreading the extra income in various employmentgiving ways　　3. increase government revenue and help pay for other services such as clinics, schools andwater supplies.　　Most rural development too easily slips into these other services because it is much easier and more popular to build schools and clinics, etc. than to increase output. The result is that there is no radical cure of poverty which springs from low productivity.
