4．Don’t Worry about Making Mistakes
不要担心犯错误
A: I’ve always wondered, what’s the difference between English for Chinese students and English for native students?
我一直弄不明白，中国学生学
英语和美国学生学
英语有什么不同?
B: I don’t know. What do you think?
不知道，你觉得呢?
A: I think a Chinese student concentrates on written English, and uses it as a basis for communicating. From start to finish he’s learning vocabulary and fundamentals of grammar. This is a very difficult way to learn.
我认为中国学生注重书面语言，而且以此来交流。他们从始至终都在背
单词和学语法基础。这是一种很困难的
学习方法。
B: What do natives get?
那美国人呢?
A: They get higher level English, which is more formal than everyday spoken English. They also deal with matters of style and creativity.
他们注重比
口语更为正规和高级的成文
英语。他们也
学习文体和创作。
B: Do you mean that a native doesn’t make any mistakes in grammar?
你说美国本土人都不会犯语法错误吗?
A: Absolutely not! Native speakers make a lot of grammar mistakes, especially if they come from a home where nonstandard English is spoken.
当然不是！他们同样犯很多错误，尤其是来自一个说不标准
英语的家庭的人。
B: I suppose that only a small percentage of college students don’t know standard English in American universities.
我想在美国大学里只有极少数的大专学生不懂得标准
英语。
A: Actually there are more non-native speakers than you think. That’s why it’s so important to quit worrying about making mistakes. Just talk to everyone every chance you get.
实际上在美国的非
英语母语者要比你想象的多。这就是为什么你不必担心犯错误。见到人就说，不放过每一个练
英语的机会。
