本站原创教学既是扬善的过程、求真的过程、亦是溢美的过程,美是无处不在的.英语是一门古老的语言,这种语言从发音到修辞、到篇章结构无处不充盈着美,在英语教学中如能适时地渗透其韵律之美、形象之美、简约之美、创造之美、幽默之美等,必将使课堂教学更加生动活泼.
1. 韵律之美
韵律美是指英语的发音优美、节奏明快、富有感染力, 给人以美的听觉享受.英语句式常利用各种语音表现手段, 诸如与声音强度有关的音节、音步、停顿,与声音一致的押韵以及与语音关系密切的修辞手法如拟声、谐音等,取得美的效果.
如：Big thrills , all bills.翻译成：莫大的激动,微小的费用.
The garden was a paradise on earth,with more food and clothes the could be consumed and more money than could be spend.翻译成：花园里面是人间乐园,有吃不完大米白面,穿不完的绫罗绸缎,花不完的金银珠宝.
Red hot fashion at Rel. Sizzling styles. All these and many, many more. In a riot of colors, plain or what you fancy. You want it. We’ve got it. Revel. Who else ?翻译成：拉维尔火爆时尚, 款式新颖,所有这些以及更多,花哨的,朴素的,或您所喜欢的,您想得到它,我们拥有它,除了拉维尔,还会有谁?
2. 形象之美
汉语比较重视含蓄,而英语比较重视形式之美.形象思维是人类思维特点之一,人们喜欢具体、形象、直观的语言, 英语十分讲究语言的形象、生动性.
如：Apple Thinks Different.. 翻译成：苹果电脑,与众不同.
Memories bright as a tropical bloom, fresh asa cool sea breeze, deep as the unhurried sea. This is the Sheraton Bal Harbour Resort. Time steps to a different measure here, just for the two of you. Palm bordered beaches gently kiss the water’s edge. Sunset dance, night life sings under a star-filled sky； moonlight drips soft silver to tuck you in.This is the Sheraton Bal Harbour Resort. Where the days hesitate to end, and the memories linger forever. 翻译成：记忆明丽有如热带的花卉,清新有如凉爽的海风,深刻有如起伏的大海.为了你俩, 时间在这里放慢了脚步.棕榈树环绕的海滩轻吻浪尖,夕阳在波涛间翩翩起舞,夜之生灵在繁星密缀的天宇下歌唱；月华轻柔,流银泻玉,把你俩笼罩其中.这便是喜来登旅馆,在这里幸福时光恋恋不舍,美好记忆长萦心中.
Looking away from the grow ,I fixed my gaze on the distant mountains,where our adopted son had loved to go in search of the perfect tree.翻译成：目光移去,我瞩目远山.养子喜欢到那里去,去寻找他心中理想的树木.
3.简约之美
汉语是一种高浓缩的语言,用词简练,可谓一字值千金.英文也十分讲究用词的简练,体现简约之美.
如：the goverment belonging to the people, supported by the people and working for the people .翻译成：一个属于人民的、受人民支持的、为人民怎么写作的政府.
She had such a fright that she fainted.翻译成：她吓得昏了过去.
When you’re sipping Lipton , you’re sipping something special.翻译成：饮立顿红茶,品独到风味.
4. 创造之美
审美人共有的的一种心里活动,同时也是创造性的心理活动.它在感知审美对象、获得审美感受的同时,也会根据自己的审美理想, 通过想象、思维、联想等形式创造出具有特色的、传情达意的审美对象.创造、创新是美的本质.
如：There are several ways to explore the crystal clear waters of Greece. Whether from the deck of a luxury cruise ship which can carry you to many of Greece’s 2 ,500 beautiful islands； from the high -prowed bow of a traditional fishing vessel, or on your own private charted yacht. Whatever your choice, you will never fet Greece.翻译成：要探究希腊清澈透明的海水,有好几种办法：您可以站在豪华游船的甲板上眺望海水,任游船带你去游览希腊那些星云密布的美丽小岛；或登上传统垂钓小舟那高昂的船头欣赏海水,或者坐在您自己租的小艇上徜徉于海水中.但无论您选择了哪种方式,希腊都令您刻骨铭心.
5.幽默之美
语言幽默是由语言的各种要素的变异使用而创造的语言表达现象.西方人好幽默,英语的行文也是如此.
如：You can’t just take the tuekey out of the freezer on Wednesday night and plop it on the counter_your guestswill get food poisoning,and you feel less than thankful when the ambulance is rushing your reching dinner party en masse to the hospital.翻译成：你不能星期三晚上才把火鸡从冰箱里拿出来,仍在厨房的台面上—你的客人会食物中毒的.当救护车把你呕吐不止的客人火速送往医院时,你就来不及感恩了.
总之,我们应多阅读、勤思考,将优美的句子记下来,或者背下来,我们在教学中就会信手拈来,应用自如,我们的也就会更加有吸引力.
