试讲材料-Chen[1][1]..

This is where we are. Where do we go from here? First, we must massively assert our dignity and worth. We must stand up amidst a system that still oppresses us and develop an unassailable and majestic sense of values. We must no longer be ashamed Even semantics have conspired to make that which is black seem ugly and degrading. In Roget's Thesaurus there are 120 synonyms for blackness and at least sixty of them are offensive, as for example, blot, soot, grim, devil, and foul. And there are some 134 synonyms for whiteness and all are favorable, expressed in such words The most degenerate member of a family is a “black sheep”. Ossie Davis has suggested that maybe the English language should be reconstructed so that teachers will not be forced to teach the Negro child sixty ways to despise himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of inferiority and the white child 134 ways to adore himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of superiority.

这就是我们的处境。我们将去往何方呢？首先，我们必须向世界宣告我们的尊严和价值。我们必须在这个还将继续压迫我们的制度下，挺起胸膛来，树立起牢不可破的庄严的价值观。我们再也不能为皮肤的颜色感到羞愧了。几个世纪以来，我们一直被告知我们是微不足道的，如今，要在我们这个民族之中唤醒作为人的尊严，绝非易事。

甚至语义学也将黑色与丑陋和低等联系起来。在罗格同义词词典中，有120个黑色的同义词，其中至少60个令人感到不快，例如污迹、黑灰、冷酷、恶魔以及污秽。还有134个白色的同义词，这些词都是褒义，例如纯洁、干净、贞洁以及天真。仿佛白人放的屁都要比黑人香些。家庭中的不肖之子叫做“黑色的马”。戴维斯建议对英语进行重构，这样一来，英语教师就不会被迫教授黑人学生六十种贬低自己的方法，也不必教授白人孩子134种方法来自吹

自擂了。这样一来，黑人孩子就不会老认为自己低人一等，白人孩子也不会认为自己就属于优等民族。

授课步骤：

一、因为本文节选比较特别，选自马丁路德金的演讲，因此可以先从背景谈起也可以简单介绍一下作者。

delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial. He was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

二、单词短语

可以选择重点讲解 比如：

manhood: the state of being human

三、重点难点句型 比如：

1.We must massively assert our dignity and worth : We must state clearly and in an impressive way that we should be treated with respect and our value should be recognized.

2 The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.： It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they are humans, the same as any other people.

四 questions for further discussion 比如：

以上30分钟差不多了。反正姐姐我们那时候基本都这么弄的 呵呵 背景如果你同学可以准备生动点 联系历史就更好了 一定要激情 其实知识点是没人太注意的 但也得有

我记得当时我们试讲很多学校么，有个男孩好像抽的是丘吉尔演讲 他把2战那时候情况都是英文说的 超精彩 超激情征服了系主任和所有老师 我觉得公办校试讲就是个形式 而私立倒还公平些 我们那时候在哈尔滨去的都是私立面试 也挺有意思的 只要不紧张 你同学肯定过的

我也就这水平了 姐姐你好好改改吧
