Unit 2 English around the world【单元导航】中国式英语欧洲人做过精细的统计，自1994年以来加入国际英语行列的词汇中，中式英语贡献了5%到20%，超过任何其他来源。
除“孔夫子(Confucious)”、“中国功夫(kung fu)”、“麻将(mahjong)”或者“豆腐(tofu)”之类绝无仅有的称谓，再挑拣几个真正有中国气质、代表华夏气派、并影响全球当代生活的“鸡蛋词”。
(一)丝绸——silk中国是养蚕大国，丝绸的故乡。
“silk”的发音，显然是汉语的音译，这个词代表了中国高超的工艺技术和贸易强势。
即便现在，丝绸仍在现代生活中充当雍容华丽、典雅高贵的象征。
(二)茶——tea这个词，又是英国人从拗口的闽南话里偷走的。
茶，和丝绸、瓷器比肩，堪称古代中国对外贸易的拳头产品。
目前，品茶代表了一种生活方式和文化品位。
18世纪的柴斯特顿勋爵在《训子家书》里写道：“尽管茶来自东方，它毕竟是绅士气味的；而可可则是个痞子、懦夫，一头粗野的猛兽。
”(三)世外桃源——Shangrila (Xanadu)这是两个近义词，都有“世外桃源”的意思。
“Shangrila”出自西藏的传说之地——香格里拉，“Xanadu”则是蒙古的元上都。
如果要表达“世外桃源”，通常采用“Xanadu”这个词。
(四)风水——Feng Shui风水，还是音译。
它凝聚了古代中国在活人住宅和死人墓地方面的集体智慧。
近年来，风水在美国红极一时，从中国人唇齿之间发出的音节，已经成为当代人急需探究的学问。
(五)走狗——running dogs中国式英语“running dogs”贴切地表达了一种见利忘义、供人驱使的“下三烂”。
最先运用这个词的是中国人，还是英国人，已无从考证；重要的是，英语世界接纳了“走狗”，并以汉语的思维抚育这个“外来词”。
接纳词汇的同时，无形中也接受了中国人的价值观。
(六)大款、巨亨——tycoon这种称呼是近些年才流行街巷的，指有钱、有势的商人或者企业家，中国传统的叫法是“大掌柜”。

教学过程Step 1 Warming-up and lead-in (8 mins)(1) 小测试: 对比阅读Robert Burns的诗A Red Red Rose和一首现代诗(4 mins)T: Hello, class. You have all been learning English for at least 3 years. But how good is your English? How much do you know about English? Today, let’s look here and have a test to see how good your English is. Here is a poem by Robert Burns, who was an English poet, or exactly, a Scottish poet. This poem, A Red Red Rose, is one of the most famous in the world. Read it and listen. Let’s see if you have any difficulty in understanding it.A Red Red RoseRobert BurnsO, my Luve's like a red, red roseThat's newly sprung in June;O, my Luve's like the melodie,That's sweetly play'd in tune.As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry.Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.And fare thee well, my only Luve!And fare thee well, a while!And I will come again, my Luve,Tho' it were ten thousand mile!T: Did you find it easy or difficult? What about this one? This poem was written by a modern writer.I Am Not YoursI am not yours, not lost in you,Not lost, although I long to beLost as a candle lit at noon,Lost as a snowflake in the sea.You love me, and I find you stillA spirit beautiful and bright,Yet I am I, who long to beLost as a light is lost in light.Oh plunge me deep in love—put outMy senses, leave me deaf and blind,Swept by the tempest of your love,A taper in a rushing wind.T: Why is the first poem difficult to understand while the second one not? (Mainly because of some of the words used in the first poem, which are not often used now. Robert Burns lived in the 18th century while the writer of the second poem is a modern poet.) So we can see people in the past used different words from what is used today.(2) 听一段一位学生和来自澳大利亚的外教的对话(4 mins)T: Now, when one day Qiu Zhensong met our foreign teacher Zak, who is from Australia, what happened? Let’s welcome Zak and Qiu Zhensong.(After the dialogue, the foreign teacher explained.) Did you understand our dialogue? (Ss: No.) What’s the difficulty? (Different words were used in Australia which you do not know in American or British English.) T: So from the two poems and the dialogue we can see people from different countries speak different English and people in different times also use different English. How did the difference come about?[意图说明] 引入话题：不同时代、不同国家所使用的英语有所不同。

最新教学资料·人教版英语Unit 2 English around the world 【美文阅读】There are many kinds of English；they are different in their vocabulary，grammar，pronunciation and intonation.These different kinds of English developed from history，geography，politics and the influence of other languages.Some of the major kinds of English are British English，American English，Canadian English，Australian English，Indian English and Caribbean English.The English spoken in Africa is different from country to country.Thus there is Nigerian English，South African English，Kenyan English and so on.All types of English originated from the English spoken in England.American English has now replaced British English.This is mostly because of the influence of the United States through the cinema，music，technology and trade.The most noticeable differences between American and British Eng-lish are in spelling，pronunciation and vocabulary.Many words that end in -our in British English end in -or in American English.Words ending in -se are British English while their American ones end in -ze.Some vocabulary items，too，are different.There are also many differences in expressions.The Americans would say “I just ate”as opposed to “I've just eaten”in British English.In American English，Mary is “on the team”，while in British English，Mary is “in the team”．【诱思导学】1．Which kind of English do you like best？Why？Give your reason.________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________2．Do you think Chinese will become the international language instead of English one day?________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1.I like British English best.Because it is the source of other kinds of English.2．I don't think so.Because there are only a few people speak Chinese outside China.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课全面理解课文起到一个铺垫作用。
