教师的个人魅力.doc

The personal qualities of a teacher教师的个人魅力翻译整理：王潞伟 博士 Here I want to try to give you an answer to the question :What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher?Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists,but I think the following would be generally accepted. 这里我想尝试给你一个问题的答案：什么样的个人能力是教师应该具备的。或许，没有两个人能得出相似的回答，但是我想以下解释可以被人们接受。 First, the teachers personality should be pleasantly live and attractive.This does not rule out people who are physically plain,or even ugly,because many such have personal charm.But it does rule out such types as the over-exitable,melancholy,frigid,sarcastic,cynical,frustrated,and over-bearing。I would say too,that it excludes all of dull or purely negative personality .I still stick to what I said in my earlier book :that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.首先，教师的个人魅力在于有性情开朗且具有吸引力，这并不排除那些长相普通甚至面貌丑陋的教师，因为太多老师具有个人魅力了，但是一定要排除以下类型的老师，过于激动的，忧郁的，冷淡的，讽刺的，愤世嫉俗的，沮丧的，自以为是的，我断言说，是排除掉所有枯燥呆板，消极的人，我依然坚持在早期书中所说的话：上学的孩子可能承受的烦恼要多于残酷无情的老师。 Secondly,it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy-in the literal meaning of that word;a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people.especially,since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds and feeling of children.Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant-not,indeed,of what is wrong ,but of the frailty and immaturity of human nature which induce people , and again especially children ,to make mistakes.其次，对于教师而言，拥有一颗真正的同情心是每一位教师必须具备的素质。同情心的字面意义是感人所感，特别是大多数教师是学校教师，他们为孩子的立场而考虑，教师要具备一种容忍的能力，不是容忍他能犯的错误，而是容忍错误里面包含的脆弱和不成熟的表现，特别是对于孩子而言更容易犯错误，我们要原谅。 Thirdly ,I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest .this does not mean being a plaster saint.It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths ,and limitations,and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided .there is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching,which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act -to enliven a lesson,correct a fault ,or award praise .children especially young children ,live in a world that is rather larger than life.第三，我认为一个教师必须是聪明和诚实的。这并不意味着是雕塑的伟人，这意味着他拥有学识优势以及不足，有能力思考并且依照生活依存的道德规范而行动，这与我之前说的教师应该有一点演员的气质，这个说法并不矛盾，演技也是教学的一部分，无论何时都需要教师进行表演活跃课堂气氛，纠正错误，表扬他人，孩子，特别是低龄儿童，他们的世界要比真实的世界大得多。A teacher must remain mentally alert .he will not get into the profession if of low intelligence,but it is all too easy ,even for people of above average intelligence,to stagnate intellectually-and that means to deteriorate intellectually.A teacher must be quick to adapt himself to any situation ,however improbable and able to improvise,if necessary at less than a moments notice.教师要经常保持学习警惕性，他如果智商比较低，就不要从事教学工作，但这也不容易，对那些高智商的人来说，如果不学习也会停滞不前那就意味着智力退化，一个教师必须很快地适应所处的环境，如果迫于形势，不管有多难，都能即兴创作。On the other hand ,A teacher must be capable of infinite patience.This, I may say ,is largely a matter of self discipline and self-training;We are none of us born like that.he must be pretty resilient;Teaching makes great demands on nervous energy, and he should be able to take in his stride the innumerable petty irritations and adult dealing with children has to endure.另一方面，教师必须有极大地耐心，我会说，耐心取决于自我约束和自我训练，我们并不是生来就这样，他的适应性非常强，教学必须具备平复心情的能力，他应该能轻而易举地处理成年人和孩子们打交道的麻烦事。 Finally,I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning.Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect;there is always something more to learn about it.There are three principal objects of study:the subject or subjects,which the teacher is teaching;the methods by which they can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching:and -by far the most important-the children ,young people, or adults to whom they are to be taught.The two main cardinal principles of British education today are that education is education of the whole person ,and that it is best acquired through full and active co-operation between two persons,the teacher and the learner.最后，我想教师应具备终身学习的能力，教师的工作决定它不是永远完美的工作，需要不断充实完善。在学习中有三件事最重要。第一，选择一门或多门课；第二，如何做好课堂教学；第三，最重要的是，他们的教学对象是孩子，青年人或成年人。英式教育的两个主要原则是教育是对人的全面教育。在教师和学生之间，最好的学习方式是全方位的互动。3
