既然全民学英语，为什么翻译人才还紧缺呢？

原文
“英语热”风行全国，目前来看，英语教育是我国学历教育体系中教育对象范围最广、教育持续时间最长的部分。中国是个历来重视教育的国家，但当前这种学习英语的狂热态势却是绝无仅有的。用“全民学英语”来概括当今的形势，一点儿都不过分。要接受教育就必须学习英语，而学习英语不仅要从娃娃抓起，还贯穿一个人受教育的全过程，至少要通过中考、高考和大学四级考试三关，如果想深造读研还必须达到六级水平。不仅学生时代视英语为头等重要，社会上崇尚英语也毫不示弱，好的英语成绩能增加求职“砝码”，也是技术职称晋升的“一桶金”。

依照日前举国皆陷入学习英语狂潮的大好形势，照常理推断，国人的英语水平应当是“顶呱呱”，听、说、读、写应该没什么问题。但事实上效果却不是理所当然的“上好佳”，而是令人尴尬的“广种薄收”，张不了口说英语，写出来的文章也是错误百出。和英语的表面强势相比，汉语遭遇了实质的忘却和落寞。当越来越多的人“证明”自己的英语能力时，已没有人用时间和精力问津汉语能力的高低。语言是一个民族的标志和民族文化的载体，关系到一个民族的生死存亡和民族凝聚力。法国为抵制英语的文化侵略与霸权，不惜从立法层面上捍卫本民族的语言和文化，难道我们的母语就没有打一场“保卫战”的必要吗？面对日渐萎缩并消亡的母语，我们能够坦然处之吗？

在当今世界，英语的重要性毋庸置疑。但英语不再是作为一门交流的语言学科，而是成了竞技的考试学问，英语学习的功能被无限夸大，远远超出了语言工具的范畴，完全背离了学习英语的最终目的，显然是失之偏颇的。学好英语并没有错，问题是如何学，学多少，多少人应该学。我们应该明确，英语不过是一种语言工具，英语教育仅仅是整体国民教育中的一个部分，英语水平高低不应当成为人才选拔的一个重要门槛。判别人才标准不能仅看英语水平的高低，而要看他的能力和实力，以及为社会所作的实际贡献的大小。

另外，前不久的一则消息称，目前我国约有3亿多人在学英语（专业和非专业），约占全国总人口的1／4。专家预测，再过几年，我国学英语的人数将超过英语母语国家的总人口数。规模如此庞大的人群在学英语，可实际应用水平到底如何呢？据国家外文局调查，目前我国从事同声传译和书面翻译的高端外语人才依然严重缺乏，能够胜任中译外工作的高质量人才缺口高达90％。人们不禁要问，这么多人在学习外语，为什么翻译人才还紧缺呢？把外语放在如此重要的地位，究竟对我们的实际工作有多大作用呢？ 到底是什么原因造成了现在的尴尬局面，其症结到底在哪儿？？

怎样学好英语
想学好英语，首先要培养对英语的兴趣。“兴趣是最好的老师”,兴趣是学习英语的巨大动力，有了兴趣，学习就会事半功倍。我们都有这样的经验：喜欢的事，就容易坚持下去；不喜欢的事，是很难坚持下去的。而兴趣不是与生俱来的，需要培养。有的同学说：“我一看到英语就头疼，怎么能培养对英语的兴趣呢？”还有的同学说：“英语单词我今天记了明天忘，我太笨了，唉，我算没治了。”这都是缺乏信心的表现。初学英语时，没有掌握正确的学习方法，没有树立必胜的信心，缺乏了克服困难的勇气，丧失了上进的动力，稍遇失败，就会向挫折缴枪，向困难低头。你就会感到英语是一门枯燥无味的学科，学了一段时间之后，学习积极性也逐渐降低，自然也就不会取得好成绩。但是，只要在老师的帮助下，认识到学英语的必要性，用正确的态度对待英语学习，用科学的方法指导学习。开始时多参加一些英语方面的活动，比如 ，唱英文歌、做英语游戏、读英语幽默短文、练习口头对话等。时间长了，懂得多了，就有了兴趣，当然，学习起来就有了动力和欲望。然后，就要像农民一样勤勤恳恳，不辞辛苦，付出辛勤的劳动和汗水，一定会取得成功，收获丰硕的成果。毕竟是No pains, no gains吗。
练好基本功是学好英语的必要条件，没有扎实的英语基础，就谈不上继续学习，更谈不上有所成就。要想基本功扎实，必须全神贯注地认真听讲,上好每一节课，提高课堂效率，脚踏实地、一步一个脚印地，做到以下“五到”：
一、“心到”。在课堂上应聚精会神，一刻也不能懈怠，大脑要始终处于积极状态，思维要活跃、思路要开阔，心随老师走，听懂每一句话，抓住每一个环节，理解每一个知识点，多联想、多思考，做到心领神会。
二、“手到”。学英语，一定要做课堂笔记。因为人的记忆力是有限的，人不可能都过目不忘，记忆本身就是不断与遗忘作斗争的过程。常言说，“好脑筋不如烂笔头”。老师讲的知识可能在课堂上记住了，可是过了一段时间，就会忘记，所以，做好笔记很有必要。英语知识也是一点点积累起来的，学到的每一个单词、词组以及句型结构，都记在笔记本上，甚至是书的空白处或字里行间，这对以后的复习巩固都是非常方便的。
三、“耳到”。在课堂上，认真听讲是十分必要的，不但要专心听老师对知识的讲解，而且要认真听老师说英语的语音、语调、重音、连读、失去爆破、断句等发音要领，以便培养自己纯正地道的英语口语。听见听懂老师传授的每一个知识点，在头脑里形成反馈以帮助记忆；理解领会老师提出的问题，以便迅速作答，对比同学对问题的回答，以加深对问题的理解而取别人之长补自己之短。
四、“眼到”。在认真听讲的同时，还要双眼紧随老师观察老师的动作、口形、表情、板书、绘图、教具展示等。大脑里形成的视觉信息和听觉信息相结合，印象就会更加深刻。
五、“口到”。学习语言，不张嘴不动口是学不好的，同学们最大的毛病是读书不出声，害羞不敢张嘴。尤其是早读课，同学们只是用眼看或默读，这样就只有视觉信息，而没有听觉信息在大脑里的反馈，当然记忆也不会太深刻，口部肌肉也得不到锻炼，也就很难练就一口纯正的英语。所以，要充分利用早晨头脑清醒的时间，大声朗读；课堂上要勇跃回答老师提问、积极参与同学间讨论和辩论，课下对不清楚的问题及时提出，要克服害羞心理，不耻下问。对学过的课文要多读、勤读、苦读，可以跟录音机读，竭力模仿其语音语调以纠正发音，要读得抑扬顿挫朗朗上口，一些精典文章最好能背得滚爪烂熟。利用一切可能的机会，练习英语口语，比如，与外教交流、参加“英语角”活动、与同学进行对话、讲英语故事、唱英文歌曲、演英语短剧、进行诗歌朗诵等。除了对课本中的范文要细读精读之外，还要多看些适合我们中学生的课外读物，既可增长知识，又开阔了我们的视野，也提高了我们的阅读水平。
学英语，词汇的记忆是必不可少的，词汇是学好英语的基础，没有了词汇，也就谈不上句子，更谈不上文章，所以记单词对我们就显得极其重要。记忆单词关键有二：
一是持之以恒：每天坚持记忆一定量的词汇，过几天再回头复习一次，这样周期循环，反复记忆，经常使用，就会变短时记忆为长时记忆并牢固掌握。需要注意的是，一旦开始，就要坚持下来，千万不能半途而废，切不可三天打鱼，两天晒网。
二是良好的记忆方法：记忆单词的方法很多，学无定法，但学有良法。我认为，张思中的“集中识词，分类记忆”不失为一种适合中学生的好方法。把中学生应掌握的3500个单词集中汇总，分门别类，先过单词关，然后再学教材，在课本中使用和巩固它们的用法。分类的方法有多种，同一元音或元音字母组合发音相同的单词归为一类；根据词形词性、同义词反义词等集中记忆；把相同词根、前缀、后缀、合成、转化、派生等构词法相同的单词或词组列在一起集中识记印象比较深刻，记忆效果也比较明显。这样每天记40－80个单词，坚持不懈，多联想，多思考，多使用，词汇问题不就解决了吗？在学习的过程中多注视单词的用法和词组的搭配，牢记老师讲过的单词惯用法和句型，这样不仅有助于我们解题，而且在写作时也会信手拈来，运用自如。
把单词记住，了解词性、词义，掌握其固定搭配与习惯用法，背会时态、从句的各种用法，工作只是完成了一半，我们还得将它们应用到实践中去。就像学游泳，光学理论，不下水应用，不等于掌握了这门技术。不必要搞题海战术，但一定量的典型练习来巩固所学知识是必不可少的。先重视基础练习，如课后习题，单元同步练习，这些是针对课堂知识的巩固性练习，不能好高骛远，光想着一口吃个胖子。基础知识掌握后，有的放失地做一些语法方面的专项练习和考试题型的专题练习。特别提倡同学们准备一本“错题集”，把平时做错的具有代表性的试题或语言点记录下来，以备将来查漏补缺，这样对知识的掌握可以达到事半功倍的效果。
英语是一种语言，不是记住了单词、词组、句型和语法项目就是把它学好了，关键在于使用语言，所以在学习英语时一定要注意听、说、读、写、译全面发展。英语学习首先是一个记忆过程，然后才是实践过程。学习英语，无论如何，勤奋是不可少的，它是一个日积月累的渐进过程，是没有任何捷径可走的，也没有所谓“速成”的灵丹妙方，急于求成，不做踏实工作，是学不好英语的。任何成功的获得都要靠自己的努力，要踏踏实实、勤勤恳恳、兢兢业业、一步一个脚印地学习，端正态度，认真对待学习中的挫折和失败。失败并不可怕，可怕的是对自己丧失信心而一蹶不振。对考试的失败，冷静分析，认真思考，只要对胜利充满信心，善于总结经验教训，不断努力，不断追求，胜利一定是属于你们的

全民学不等于全民会。全民会不等于全民用。想想我国从小学就开始的英语教育，有是为用而学的么？大都是被迫的，不学就跟不上时代。什么叫跟不上时代？大家都学，你不学就是异类！只有学了才能考上高中，大学，才能找到工作，那么工作之后有谁整天“hello”来“byebye”去的呢？就算我是个学国贸专业的也未必就能进外资企业。去跟外商How do you do 去。
2008年北京奥运使得北京的居委会街道大爷大妈都会去学两句。出租司机每人100句。可是你真的认为这样的一时兴起有什么效果么？
大部分不是为需求而学，而是被迫不得不学。缺乏语言使用环境是一个方面。没有意识到英语的重要性（我的意思是英语正成为事实上的国际通用语言）也是重要的方面。英，法，俄，中虽然都是联合国工作语言，但是国际通用语言无意是英语！就连安南讲话哪次不是英语？没有认识到其重要性，以时尚，赶潮流的，甚至是被强迫的心态对待英语是有很多人学，但是学的出众的很少的重要原因之一！

我感觉学校的教材,老师的素质,考试的方式还是有待改进.很多时候,发现英文系毕业的学生不能进行简单的对话,用的词汇是文邹邹,喜欢用很重的词.学生对语法的研究比外国人还"钻"得深.
现在很多学校请外教了,情形会改变的.
