實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Computers in Class 電腦進(jìn)課堂
Tom: Do you have computers in your classroom?
湯姆：你們教室里有電腦嗎?
Martin: No and I wish we did I think it would help out a lot of the teachers and a lot of the students to have more of an interactive experience and be able to research things as teachers are talking. What do you think Tom?
馬?。簺]有，我希望有，因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為電腦可以使學(xué)生和老師有更多的互動(dòng)體驗(yàn)，而且可以研究老師所講的內(nèi)容。湯姆，你怎么想的?
Tom: I'm surprised that you want them. I think they're a terrible idea. I think they distract students they mean that the point of the lesson is lost that the teacher loses their control over where the class should go. I think it's ridiculous this drive to get computers absolutely everywhere.
湯姆：你希望教室里配備電腦，這真讓我感到驚訝。我認(rèn)為這是個(gè)糟糕的主意。因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為電腦會分散學(xué)生的注意力，學(xué)生們可能會錯(cuò)過課程的重點(diǎn)，老師也會失去對課堂的控制。將電腦推廣到所有地方的做法非?；闹?。
Martin: Oh but don't you think it adds to giving a hands-on-experience especially with accounting or other business related applications that if the teacher is expressing it, if you don't have a computer you can't really have a hands-on experience and a lot of the lesson might be lost without actually doing it in the classroom and being able to check your work.
馬丁：哦，你不認(rèn)為電腦能提供實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)嗎?尤其是那些與會計(jì)學(xué)和其他與商業(yè)有關(guān)的應(yīng)用程序，老師講解以后，如果你沒有電腦你就無法獲得實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)，許多課程可能因?yàn)闆]有在課堂上進(jìn)行實(shí)踐和檢驗(yàn)而無法理解。
Tom: A lot of what you say is correct but I don't think you need to do it in the classroom. You can do all of that stuff at home and I think a computer is a very personal and individual activity. I'm not sure it's suitable for a classroom.
湯姆：你說的許多觀點(diǎn)都是正確的，但是我并不認(rèn)為你有必要在課堂上做這些事情。你可以在家里完成，我認(rèn)為電腦是非常個(gè)人化的活動(dòng)。我不清楚電腦是否適合在教室里使用。
Martin: I still think though hat it adds a lot to it and that they're able to express themselves and utilize the information that is expressed in the classroom then and there and they know they understand it versus if they go home and use it in a more personalized context.
馬?。何胰匀徽J(rèn)為電腦有很多用途，與回家在更個(gè)性化的環(huán)境中使用電腦相比，電腦可以幫助學(xué)生在課堂上表達(dá)自己，而且學(xué)生能立即應(yīng)用在課堂上獲得的信息，這樣他們就知道他們已經(jīng)掌握了這些信息。
