耶鲁演讲:长期以来我们的对外宣传与沟通是失败的,或许,正是“宣传”二字造成的概念、口号满天飞,自说自话,别人听得满头雾水或心生反感,我们似乎只在乎完成宣传任务,不想实际效果...其实,回到人性、回到心灵、回到符合规律的沟通是我们必须完成的转变“聊天”

English is a crazy language

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweet-breads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you can comb through the annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another.

Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent?

Have you ever seen a horsefull carriage or a strapfull gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

Preschool in three cultures (Book to read)
这本书比较了中国、日本和美国三种文化下的托儿所教育。题材本身不稀奇,但是当年Tobin开创了一种独树一帜的研究方法。他管那个叫Video-Cued, Multivocal, Diachronic Ethnography。 他是怎么做研究的呢。他首先去了昆明、京都和夏威夷,各找了一个托儿所。然后他就在那蹲点,拍摄了大约一个星期长度的幼儿园日常生活。传统的质性研究做完 这个“数据收集”工作之后就去分析了。他呢,先在每个国家之内把他所录的录像(剪辑成20~30分钟长),放给其它老师看。然后提问他们觉得老师在教学、 处理学生关系以及日常管理方面的得失。然后呢,他又把比方说中国和日本的录像拿给美国教师看,把美国、日本的录像拿给中国的教师看。让他们从局外人的角度 来评论为那个作为外文明的教师的做法和行为究竟是怎么样。在这个过程中,录像本身不再是数据,而是一个“cue”,一个引子,由录像所引发的教师们对于具 体教学行为的讨论才是他分析的重点。一般质性或者统计研究都要讲究所谓样本“代表性”,而在Tobin的例子里,每个国家只收集了一个样本,怎样说有代表 性呢?Tobin的解释就是代表性不仅是说你有多少数据的量来解释的,而且也是一种文化上的理解。在中国的例子里,他把在昆明的做法首先拿给其它昆明的教 师看,然后再拿到上海给上海的许多老师看,让他们来解释其代表性是不是成立。他问那些教师你在这个情况里会怎么做。你觉得那个老师做得对吗?通过对“录 像”这个文本的多重阐述,构建了对行为的正当性解释。
