    University life 大學(xué)生活
    Kate: Hello. I'm Kate and today Li and I are going to be answering another of your Ask About Britain questions on British life and culture. Hello Li.
    Li: Hi Kate. 今天的問題來自 Alice. 她想多了解一些英國大學(xué)生的生活。比如他們都有哪些課程,是否參加講座和大課seminars and lectures, 再有就是師生之間是怎樣的一種互動interaction?
    Kate: And as many UK colleges and universities are returning from theirsummer break this week, we thought this was a very timely question to mark the beginning of the academic year! So I spoke to some British and international students studying at the London School of Economics to find out more…
    Li: 下面是幾個大學(xué)生的錄音。他們在談?wù)摳髯缘拇髮W(xué)生活,看看你能不能聽出來他們都上哪些課程以及每周的課時是多少。
    Insert
    We attend lectures and then we attend classes or seminars later on.
    We have some pre-lecture reading as well to do so we are prepared before we go to the lectures.
    We have lectures and classes and each week around twelve hours. Lectures is only the teaching and in classes we interact with the class teachers, so that's more interactive
    Li: 聽出來了嗎?好幾個學(xué)生都說他們經(jīng)常參加大課和講座lectures and seminars. 其中一個學(xué)生說他們每周的課時為12 小時。她還特別強(qiáng)調(diào)了講座和授課的不同之處,說師生之間有很多的課堂互動interaction.
    Kate: As I mentioned earlier, the beginning of October marks the first week of the academic year and for some students their first week of university. These students are also known as 'Freshers'.
    Li: Freshers 就是新生。請聽大家聽聽下面這段錄音看看這個新生fresher對大學(xué)生活的印象如何。
    Insert
    I'm in my first week now, I'm a Fresher and em, there's much definitely more independent reading and it just all relies on you on you to do the reading. You're not spoon-fed how you are at school and you just have to take initiative otherwise you get nowhere!
    Li: 這個女生說大學(xué)里要做很多的獨立閱讀independent reading她用了一個詞spoon-fed,這個詞意思是一勺一勺地喂著吃,意思是老師手把手地教。這個詞是由兩部分組成的, spoon 和fed, spoon-fed. 她說,大學(xué)里老師不再像中小學(xué)老師那樣手把手地教了she was not spoon-fed as she had been at school. 她說大學(xué)生自己要對自己的學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)責(zé),不能等待別人告訴你去學(xué)什么或閱讀什么。她還用了另一個短語就是take the initiative 發(fā)揮主觀能動性。
    Kate: So, students at UK universities have to take on quite a lot of responsibility for their own learning and for many, this could be very different from the kind of studying they are used to.
    Li: 倫敦有很多國際大學(xué)生,那么這些來自不同文化背景的留學(xué)生們對英國大學(xué)有什么感觸呢?和他們本國的教學(xué)方法有什么不同呢?
    Kate: We're going to hear from some students from Pakistan, Hong Kong and Russia who are all studying here in London.
    Li: 他們將會說到一下這一個單詞rigid 意思是僵硬死板的,還有flexible 靈活的。
    Insert
    It's quite different actually, because back in Pakistan the education system is more based more on US education system. It's their 4 year degrees and we don't really have that much of projects – it's more reading, more exams, things like that.
    It's quite different because in Hong Kong it's quite rigid and the education system - I don’t think it's really that flexible in terms of the teaching style and stuff. So I prefer it (more) in the UK.
    The students here are treated like adults. In Russia first of all almost the whole of the learning process is based on lectures and classes. And in Russian tradition we have usually very limited course choice, almost none, whereas here there's quite a lot of this.
    Li: 第一來自巴基斯坦的學(xué)生說,他們國家的大學(xué)教育沿襲了美國的體制,課程更多地集中于閱讀和考試而不是像英國這里更注重動手能力和實際操作。第二個講話者來自香港,她說和香港僵硬死板的rigid 教育比起來,她更喜歡英國教育系統(tǒng)的靈活性flexible.第三個人來自俄羅斯,他說英國大學(xué)把學(xué)生當(dāng)作成人來對待treated like adults 這里的課程選擇范圍比俄羅斯更大。
    Kate: You've been listening to Ask About Britain from BBC Learning English and today we've been looking at what it is like to be a student in the UK.
    Li: 是的今天的節(jié)目里大家從外國大學(xué)生那里領(lǐng)略了一下英國大學(xué)教育的特點,Alice 謝謝你的問題,希望大家都有所收獲。
    Kate: So thank you Alice for your question. We hope we’ve helped to answer it for you.
    Now if you have a question you want to ask us, send us an email chinaelt@bbc.co.uk or you can look at other programmes we make on our website bbcukchina.com
