前言
隨著改革開放的日趨深入,社會各界對外語人才的需求持續(xù)增長,我國英語專業(yè)的招生規(guī)模逐年擴大,教學質(zhì)量不斷提高。英語專業(yè)本科生教育的改革、學科建設及教材的出版亦取得了巨大的成績,先后出版了一系列在全國有影響的精品教材。2工世紀的到來對英語人才的培養(yǎng)提出了更高的標準,同時也為學科建設和教材編寫提出了新的要求。隨著中國加入世界貿(mào)易組織,社會需要的不是僅僅懂英語的畢業(yè)生,而是思維科學、心理健康、知識面廣博、綜合能力強,并能熟練運用英語的高素質(zhì)的專門人才。由于中學新的課程標準的頒布,中學生英語水平逐年提升,英語專業(yè)本科生入學時的基礎和綜合素質(zhì)也相應提高。此外,大學英語(公外)教育的迅猛發(fā)展,學生英語能力的提高,也為英語專業(yè)學生的培養(yǎng)提出了嚴峻的挑戰(zhàn)和更新更高的要求。這就規(guī)定了2工世紀的英語教學不是單純的英語培訓,而是英語教育,是以英語為主體,全面培養(yǎng)高素質(zhì)的復合型人才。教材的編寫和出版也應順隨這種潮流。 為了迎接時代的挑戰(zhàn),作為我國最大的外語教材和圖書出版基地之一的上海外語教育出版社(外教社)理應成為外語教材出版的領頭羊。在充分調(diào)研的基礎上,外教社及時抓住機遇,于新世紀之初約請了全國25所主要外語院校和教育部重點綜合大學英語院系的50多位英語教育家,在上海召開了“全國高等院校英語專業(yè)本科生系列教材編寫委員會會議”。代表們一致認同了編寫面向新世紀教材的必要性、可行性和緊迫性,并對編寫思想、教材構建、編寫程序等提出了建議和要求。而后,外教社又多次召開全國和上海地區(qū)的專家、學者會議,撰寫編寫大綱、確定教材類別、選定教材項目、討論審核樣稿。經(jīng)過一年多的努力,終于迎來了第一批書稿?! ∵@套系列教材共分語言知識和語言技能、語言學與文學、語言與文化、人文科學、測試與教學法等幾個板塊,總數(shù)將超過工50余種,可以說幾乎涵蓋了當前我國高校英語專業(yè)所開設的全部課程。編寫內(nèi)容深入淺出,反映了各個學科領域的最新研究成果;編寫體例采用國家最新有關標準,力求科學、嚴謹,滿足各門課程的具體要求;編寫思想上,除了幫助學生打下扎實的語言基本功外,還著力培養(yǎng)學生分析問題、解決問題的能力,提高學生的人文、科學素養(yǎng),培養(yǎng)健康向上的人生觀,使學生真正成為我國2工世紀所需要的外語專門人才。

章節(jié)摘錄
When someone asks me what business I atn in,I am seized with embarrass-ment:I blush and stammer,1 who am otherwise known as a man of poise.I envypeople who can say:I am a bricklayer.I envy barbers,bookkeepers and writers thesimplicity of their avowal,for all these professions speak for themselvesand needno lengthy explanation which I aln constrained to reply to such questions:I am alaugher.An admission of this kind demands another,since I have to answer thesecond question“Is that how you make your living?”truthfully with“Yes.”I actu-ally do make a living at my laughing,and a good one too,for my laughing is-commercially speaking-much in demand.I am a good laugher,experienced,noone else laughs as well as I do,no one else has such command of the fine points ofmy art.For a long time,in order to avoid tiresome explanations I called myselfan actor,but my talents in the field of mime and elocution are so meager that I feltthis designation to be too far from the truth:I love the truth,and the truth iS:I ama laugher.I aln neither a clown nor a comedian,I do not make people gay,I por-tray gaiety:I laugh like a Roman emperor,or like a sensitive schoolboy I alTl asmuch at home inthe laughter of the seventeenth century as in that of the nineteenth.and when occasion demands I laugh my way through all the centuries,all classes ofsociety,all categories of age-it is simply a skill which I have acquired,like theskill of being able to repair shoes.In my breast I harbor the laugher of America,thelaughter of Africa,white,red,yellow laughter-and fOr the right fee I let it pealout in accordance with the director’s requirements. I have become indispensable;I laugh on records,I laugh on tape,and televi-sion directors treat me with respect.I laugh moumfully,moderately,hysterically;Ilaugh like a streetcar conductor or like a helper in the grocery business;laughter inthe morning,laughter in the evening,noctumal laughter and the laughter of twi-light.In short:wherever and however laughter is required-I do it.
