文化背景对于英语精读课的作用作者：李英华来源：《环球市场信息导报》2014年第04期精读课是英语专业本科阶段较为重要的课程之一，是一门包含语言学习多个方面的综合性课程。

精读教学对于提高学生的语言学习能力具有重要作用。

精读课文中体现的西方文化知识有助于学生对课文的理解及进一步进行专业课学习。

因此，在本文中，笔者将通过《现代大学英语精读》教材第二册中的两个单元为例，说明文化背景知识对于英语专业精读课的重要作用。

一. 引言作为英语专业学习阶段最重要的课程之一，精读课囊括了词汇，语法，文化，语篇等多方面知识，对于学生夯实语言基础，激发已学的语言知识，促进语言的输入和输出具有重要意义。

通过精读课的学习，学生的英语能力得到了进一步的巩固和提高，也为学生高年级的翻译，语言学，文学等英语专业课学习奠定了基础。

精读课的教学自英语专业设置以来，就得到了学界的广泛讨论。

精读课是一门综合性课程，其教学的侧重点主要是词汇，长难句理解，和语篇的修辞及写作手法。

近年来，随着非英语专业学生英语能力的普遍提高，英语专业的学生面临越来越多的挑战。

如何使英语专业的学生更加具有自己的特色和竞争力成为了一个新的议题。

较多专家学者普遍认为，英语专业精读课的教学除了需要注重对语言的讲解，更应该加强对于百科知识的灌输和渗透。

因为语言最终是为了文化知识服务，只学习语言而忽视对文化知识的学习是苍白和空洞的。

在本文中，笔者选取外语教学与研究出版社出版的《现代大学英语》教材为蓝本，选取其中2个单元，说明文化背景知识的讲授对于提高学生精读课学习兴趣及课堂教学效果，促进学生综合素质的多方面发展的重要意义。

二. 实例研究本文以外语教学与研究出版社出版的《现代大学英语》第二版为蓝本，选取其中的三个单元进行研究，以说明文化背景知识的讲解对于一堂成功的精读课的重要意义。

本文选取的两个单元分别是《现代大学英语》第二册的第一单元及第九单元。

第一单元的精读课文题目为“Another school year， what for？”（2010）在该文章中，作者探讨了理工科学生学习文学知识的重要性。

美国总统肯尼迪就职演讲稿(中英版) Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens:We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man e not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights towhich this nation has always been mitted, and to which we are mitted today at home and around the world.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the suess of liberty.This much we pledge -- and more.To those old allies whose cultural and spiritualorigins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host ofcooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.To those new states whom we wele to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power byriding the back of the tiger ended up inside.To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required -- not because the Communistsmay be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot bee the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support -- to prevent it from being merely a forum for invective, to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or aidental self-destruction.We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take fort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and merce.Let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the mand of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens, and [to] let the oppressed go free."1And, if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this pla. But let us begin.In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final suess or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation,"2 a struggle against the mon enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I wele it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America orcitizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.我们今天庆祝的并不是一次政党的胜利，而是一次自由的庆典;它象征着完毕，也象征着开始;意味着更新，也意味着变革。
