Unit 2 Communication ProblemsSpeaking Different LanguagesJohn Gray[1] When Martians and Venusians first got together, they encountered many of the problems with relationships we have today. Because they recognized that they were different, they were able to solve these problems. One of the secrets of their success was good communication.[2] Ironically, they communicated well because they spoke different languages. When they had problems, they would just go to a translator for assistance. Everyone knew that people from Mars and people from Venus spoke different languages, so when there was a conflict they didn't start judging or fighting but instead pulled out their phrase dictionaries to understand each other more fully. If that didn't work they went to a translator for help.[3] You see, the Martian and Venusian languages had the same words but different meanings depending on the way they were used. Their expressions were similar, but they had different connotations or emotional emphasis. Misinterpreting each other was very easy. So when communication problems emerged, they assumed it was just one of those expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other. They experienced a trust and acceptance that we rarely experience today.[4] Even today we still need translators. Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words. For example, when a woman says, “I feel like you never listen,” she does not expect the word “never” to be tak en literally. Using the word “never” is just a way of expressing the frustration she is feeling at the moment. It is not to be taken as if it were factual information.[5] To fully express their feelings, women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and use various superlatives, metaphors, and generalizations. Men mistakenly take these expressions literally. Because they misunderstand the intended meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive manner. In the following chart ten complaints easily misinterpreted are listed, as well as how a man might respond unsupportively.Ten Common Complaints That Are Easily MisinterpretedWomen say things like this: Men respond like this:“We never go out.” “That's not true. We went out last week.”“Everyone ignores me.” “I'm sure some people notice you.”“I am so tired, I can't do anything.” “If you don't like your job, then quit.”“I want to forget everything.” “I don't think there's anything to forget.”“The house is always a mess.” “It's not always a mess.”“No one listens to me anymore.” “But I'm listening to you right now.”“Nothing is working.” “Are you saying it is my fault?”“You don't love me anymore.” “Of course I do. That's why I'm here.”“We are always in a hurry.” “We are not. Friday we were relaxed.”“I want more romance.” “Are you saying I am not romantic?”[6] You can see how a “literal” translation of a woman's words could easily mislead a man who is used to using speech as a means of conveying only facts and information. You can also see how a man's responses might lead to an argument. Unclear and unloving communication is the biggest problem in relationships. The number one complaint women have in relationships is: “I don't feel heard.”[7] Even this complaint is misunderstood and misinterpreted![8] A man's literal translation of “I don't feel heard” leads him to take the woman's complaint lightly. He thinks he has heard her if he can repeat what she has said. A correct translation of a woman saying “I don't feel heard” is: “I feel as though you don't fully understand what I really mean to say or care about how I feel. Would you show me that you are interested in what I have to say?”[9] If a man really understood her complaint, then he would argue less and be able to respond more positively. When men and women are on the verge of arguing, they generally misunderstand each other. At such times, it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.说着不同的语言1 当火星人和金星人最初相聚时，也遇到了我们目前存在的许多人际关系问题。

However he could not find anything wrong with her. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests directly to Mrs. Black's doctor. The next morning, he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.Mrs. Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a meeting.When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you.""Done all my shopping?" she asked in surprise. "But how did you know what I wanted?""Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone," answered her husband, "so I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down."Of course, Mrs. Black had to tell him that he had bought all the things the doctor did not allow her to eat!Listening I I1 1. British English --- American English 2. sound, words and expressions, --grammar 3. confusing --- different --- understandable--- each2. British EnglishI don’t know.What do you say?jumpertrouserschipschemist’s shopring them upHave you got an extra pen?Script:American and British people both speak English, of course, but sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say all the letters in each word. For example, Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know", or they may say "Whaddya say?" instead of "What do you say?"Sound is not the only difference between British and American English. The two languages have different words and expressions for some things. For example, some words for clothing are different. Americans use the word "sweater", but the British say "jumper". Americans wear "vests" over their shirts, but British people wear "vests" under their shirts. Americans talk about "pants" or "slacks", but the British talk about "trousers". The British chips are American French fries. A British chemist is an American drugstore. In Britain, if you are going to telephone friends, you "ring them up". In America, you "give them a call".There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb "do" with the verb "have". They might say, "Do you have an extra pen?" The British often ask the question a different way. They might say, "Have you got an extra pen?"These differences can be confusing when you are learning English. But when the same language is used in different places, it is understandable that it changes in each place.Listening III11-6 T F F F F T21) small 2) pie 3) pine 4) big 5) small 6) pint 7) half 8) German9) warm 10) brown 11) English 12) a packet of 13) in the evening14) fried potatoes 15) crispsScript:Nick: Hi, Dieter. OK?Dieter: Oh, hi, Nick. Yes, I'm fine, except that I had a big problem ordering my drink.I didn't think my English was so bad!Nick: Your English is very good! What kind of problem?Dieter: Well, look at this beer I've got here—this warm, brown, English beer—it wasn't what I wanted!Nick: Why, what did you ask for?Dieter: Well, I just asked for a small beer. Then the barman asked what type of beer and said lots of names that I didn't understand—and something about a pie or a pine. I didn't understand anything!Nick: Oh, no! He probably said a pint! In English you don't ask for a big or a small beer. You ask for either a pint or a half. A pint's the big one.Dieter: So this one I've got here is a half?Nick: Yes, that's a half of bitter. Bitter's the name for that type of beer.Dieter: Ah, that's what he said—bitter! Well, it's very different from the beer we drink in Germany, I must say.Nick: Yes, I know. They call the German type of beer lager. So you have to ask for a half of lager, or a pint of lager.Dieter: OK. I understand that now. My another problem was chips. I asked for a packet of chips, and the barman said something strange—that they don't have chips in the evening, only at lunchtime. What did he mean?Nick: Yes, they have fish and chips, but I think you meant crisps. In England, chips are fried potatoes, you know, French fries. The ones you buy in a packet are crisps. Dieter: Well, in the end I didn't get anything to eat. So you see, I did everything wrong!Listening IV11-5 F T T F T2Examples: 1. MEN 2. HIS 3.

It really makes me angry! When talking about the settling of the western part of the U.S., it says, "MEN by the thousands headed west." Then on the very same page it says, "The average citizen in the United States is proud of HIS heritage."Mr. Jones: What's wrong with that? It's true. I don't understand why you are angry. Mrs. Jones: Why? Because women are left out!Mr. Jones: Everyone knows when the author says "men" or "his" in those sentences that the author means to include women.Mrs. Jones: I think you are wrong. When young people read these sentences, they simply do not form a mental image which includes females.Mr. Jones: Mm. Do you have other examples?Mrs. Jones: Yes I do! This book mentions "MAN-made improvements that have raised America's standard of living". A child will not think that females as well as males have made contributions when reading this.Mr. Jones: I still don't think it's very important.Mrs. Jones: Of course you don't! You're a man. But don't you want our daughter and other little girls to have the idea that they can be important citizens in their country, just as other women have been in the past?Mr. Jones: Well, I guess you're right. I hope not all textbooks are like that.Part 2 Viewing, understanding and speaking11-6 T F F F F T21) or another 2) seeing each other 3) boating 4) half an hour 5) someoneelse 6) anymore 7) Of course I do. 8) two different places 9) stupid Script:(The telephone rings in Julia's home, and she picks up the phone.)Julia: Hello!Michael: Hello, this is Michael.Julia: Hi, Michael. How are you?Michael: I'm fine. I miss you a lot though.Julia: Me, too. Can we get together again before you leave?Michael: Yes, sure! That's why I called you.Julia: Where should we meet?Michael: Mm, how about in front of Wanghu Hotel? (Some people are talking loudly in Julia's home.) That's not far from your home.Julia: Which hotel? I didn't hear you clearly.Michael: Wanghu Hotel.Julia: OK! What time?Michael: Mm, how about 12:30, tomorrow afternoon?Julia: OK, see you then.Michael: OK. OK, see you then.(In front of Wanghu Hotel, Michael is waiting. But Julia is waiting in front of Huanhu Hotel.)Michael: (He Looks at his watch, talking to himself.) It's 1:35 now! What's wrong with her?Julia: (She Looks at everywhere, hoping to see Michael, then talking to herself.) He's always late!Michael: (He Looks at his watch again, talking to himself.) Maybe she doesn't want to see me again?Julia: (She Looks at her watch, talking to herself.) It's almost 1:45 now! Where is he? Can it be that he is waiting at Wanghu Hotel? (Julia quickly rushes to Wanghu Hotel. There she sees Michael, who stands there waiting anxiously.)(In front of Wanghu Hotel.)Michael: Hi, Julia. You are so late. How come?Julia: I'm late?! I'm not late! I was waiting somewhere else! Believe it or not, I was waiting in front of Huanhu Hotel!Michael: Oh, my goodness! I've been waiting here for one hour. How come you went to Huanhu Hotel? I told you to come to Wanghu Hotel.Julia: But it sounded like Huanhu Hotel to me! You should've pronounced it more clearly.Michael: I'm sorry, but...but it never occurred to me you would have confused the two.Julia: I wish I'd realized that sooner, so that I wouldn't have waited there for so long. You know what? When you called yesterday, my mom had a group of friends over. They were so noisy that I could hardly hear you.Michael: That's why. Then how did you figure out that it might be here—Wanghu Hotel?Julia: Did it ever occur to you that we might be waiting at two different hotels? Michael: I guess not. I thought you were delayed by traffic or something.Julia: No! You don't think. Whenever we meet, we always have one problem or another.Michael: But last Saturday was all right. We had no trouble whatsoever seeing each other.Julia: It's always me who is waiting for you.Michael: That's not true! Wasn't I waiting for you today? And do you still remember the day when we went boating? I waited for you for about half an hour!Julia: If you don't want to wait for me, then wait for someone else.Michael: Julia, it's not that. You know what I mean.Julia: You just don't love me anymore.Michael: Of course I do. That's why I'm here. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have waited here for an hour.Julia: But you never say "I love you" any more.Michael: Do you think I have to repeat the same three words all the time? Actions speak louder than words.Julia: But if you don't say it, how do I know?Michael: Come on, Julia. Don't be childish. Are we speaking the same language? It seems to me you always get me wrong.Julia: Well, if...if I hadn't realized what had happened we would still be waiting at two different places right now!Michael: Are you saying I'm stupid? Then why did you fall in love with me, then? Julia: Because I am even more stupid than you are! (Both laugh.)Michael: Now, let's forget it. Why don't we go for a walk in the park?Julia: Sure!

In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job which shows the differences between men's and women's ways of talking. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.Listening III1-5 F T F F TScript:Walking down the street, a dog saw an ad in an office window. "Help wanted. Must type 70 words a minute. Must be computer literate. Must be bilingual. Anequal-opportunity employer."The dog applied for the position, but he was quickly refused. "I can't hire a dog for this job," the office manager said. But when the dog pointed to the line that read "An equal-opportunity employer", the office manager sighed and asked, "Can you type?" Silently, the dog walked over to a typewriter and typed a letter without a mistake. "Can you operate a computer?" the manager inquired. The dog then sat down at a computer, wrote a program and ran it perfectly."Look, I still can't hire a dog for this position," said the office manager. "You have fine skills, but I need someone who's bilingual. It says so right in the ad."The dog looked up at the manager and said, "Meow."Listening IV1 1-6 T F T F T T2 1) an American education 2) fluent English 3) misses 4) nice5) little things 6) walking the dog 7) weather 8) snowy9) sunshine 10) boots 11) umbrella 12) a big smileScript:Ramon Romero is a seventeen-year-old boy from Bolivia.

They cannot come to America because they have jobs and duties in their country and aren't able to leave. However, they do want their son to have an American education and be fluent in English.He misses his family and wishes to see them. It seems that no one understands his true feelings. It is difficult to listen to English all the time and then to express his thoughts in English. His American family is very nice to him and helps him in every way. In return, Ramon does little things to help the family. For instance, he takes the dog for a walk every morning and every evening.When he comes back from the morning walk, he tells Mrs. Hutchinson about the weather. This tells her how to dress her four-year-old son. On Tuesday, Mrs. Hutchinson asks, "How is the weather today?"Ramon answers, "It rain.""No, Ramon, in English we say, 'It's raining.'"On Wednesday, it rains again."It's raining today," reports Ramon.On Thursday, it snows. On Friday, the sun finally shines. Ramon is very happy that he doesn't have to wear boots or carry an umbrella. He comes into the house with a big smile on his face."How's the weather today?" asks Mrs. Hutchinson."Oh, today I am very happy," replies Ramon. "There is no weather."。

Unit 2 Myths and LegendsIn-Class Reading Why the Tortoise’s Shell Is Not Smooth为什么乌龟的背壳凹凸不平1 从远处他妻子们的那些小木屋里传来的低声细语，时不时地被歌声打断，但是奥康瓦还是听到了，这是妻子们同各自的孩子在讲民间故事。

爱克蔚菲和她的女儿爱金玛坐在一块小地毯上。

现在，轮到爱克蔚菲讲故事了。

霎时，低声细语静了下来，所有的眼睛都转向她们最喜欢的故事能手。

2 “很久以前”，她开始讲道，“所有的鸟儿都被邀请到天上赴宴。

它们非常高兴，开始为这盛大的日子做准备。

它们用颜料把自己的身体涂成深红色并画上漂亮的图案。

3 “乌龟看到了所有这些准备活动，并很快了解了事情的来龙去脉。

动物界里发生的任何事都逃不过他的眼睛，（因为）他狡黠无比，诡计多端。

他一听说这一天上的盛宴，不禁垂涎三尺。

那些日子正在闹饥荒，乌龟已经有两个月没好好吃一顿饭了。

他的身体就像一段枯柴棍在空荡荡的躯壳里咔咔作响。

于是他稳扎稳打地开始计划如何能到天上去。

”4 “但是他没有翅膀呀，”爱金玛说。

5 “别性急，”她母亲回答道，“故事（的关键）就在这里。

乌龟没有翅膀，但他去找鸟儿们，请求能跟他们一起去。

”6 “‘我们太了解你了，’鸟儿们听了他的请求后说道。

‘你诡计多端并且忘恩负义。

如果我们答应你，你马上就会施展诡计。

我们老早就把你看透了。

’7 “‘你们不了解我，’乌龟说。

‘我已经脱胎换骨了，不再是你们以前所知道的那个捣蛋鬼了。

相反，我现在既体贴又善良。

我已经认识到，给别人制造麻烦的人就是在给自己制造麻烦。

放心吧，我保证不给你们增添任何麻烦。

’8 “乌龟巧舌如簧，没过多久，所有的鸟儿都一致认为，他确实已经脱胎换骨了，于是每只鸟儿都给了他一根羽毛，用这些羽毛，乌龟做了两只色彩绚丽的翅膀。
