翻譯：President Bush Discusses No Child Left Behind - 英語演講

11:19 A.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you for the warm wele. And Laura and I are thrilled to be here at Kearny School. We have e because this is one of the really fine schools in the city of Philadelphia. We bring greetings from the Nation's Capital, but more importantly, we bring appreciation for those who are working so hard to make sure that every child can learn.

You know, seven years ago today, I had the honor of signing a bill that forever changed America's school systems. It was called the No Child Left Behind Act. I firmly believe that thanks to this law, more students are learning, an achievement gap is closing. And on this anniversary, I have e to talk about why we need to keep the law strong. If you find a piece of legislation that is working, it is important to make sure the underpinnings of that law remain strong.

I do want to thank Laura for joining me. She has been an awesome wife and a great First Lady. (Applause.) Our journey together in Washington has been fantastic, and I thank her very much for her love.

I am proud to be here with Arlene Ackerman. Thank you for your introduction, Arlene, and thank you for being -- (applause.) Arlene is a reform-minded leader. And by that, I mean you have a Superintendent here who is willing to challenge the status quo if the status quo is unacceptable. Sometimes that's hard in public life. You see the status quo, and people are saying, oh, let's just leave it the way it is; it's too hard to change. And you have a Superintendent here that says, if we're finding failure we're going to change. And I want to thank you for taking on this important assignment.

I'm proud to be here with my buddy. I guess it's okay to call the Secretary of Education here "buddy." That means friend. And she has been our friend for a long time. She is a great Secretary of Education. And, Margaret, I want to thank you for being here. (Applause.)

I want to thank the senior Senator -- I guess it's okay to call you "senior" -- Arlen Specter. He is a good friend, and he cares a lot about the state of Pennsylvania and the education systems in the state. So thank you for ing, my friend. (Applause.)

Jerry Zahorchak is with us, the Pennsylvania Department of Education Secretary. Jerry, thank you for being here, and thank you for serving.

I want to thank all the state and local officials, particularly the state representative from this district has kindly e by to say hello and participate in a roundtable we just had.

Roy Romer, former governor of Colorado, and an education reformer, has just spoken. I want to thank Roy. He happens to be the chairman of Strong American Schools. It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Strong American Schools. That means schools that actually teach people how to read, write, and add and subtract. At least that's my definition of strong American schools.

I want to thank very much the Reverend Al Sharpton. Now, some of you are probably about to fall out of your chair -- (laughter) -- when you know that Al and I have found mon ground. And by the way, it's on an important issue. See, he cares just as much as I care about making sure every child learns to read, write, and add and subtract. And I want to thank you for your leadership on this issue, and I appreciate you -- (applause.)

I want to thank the teachers who work here. I particularly want to thank Principal Spagnola for her leadership. (Applause.) And the thing about educators -- first of all, every good school has got a principal who is a good principal. That's generally the key ingredient to success, somebody who can set high standards and motivate. And this principal can do just that.

And for the teachers, thank you for taking on a noble profession. Laura and I are proud to report that one of our daughters is a teacher, and it makes us feel just incredibly great to know that we've raised a child who is willing to take on an important task of teaching a child to be able to have the skills necessary to succeed in life.

There are a lot of reformers here, and I wele the reformers. These are people from society who say, I want to help the school system succeed. When I got off Air Force One today, I met Adam Bruckner. I mentioned to some kids, have you ever heard of Adam Bruckner? And they said, "You're talking about Mr. Adam." I said, that's who I'm talking about. He is volunteer. He's a mentor. He happens to be a professional soccer coach, which means he knows how to play soccer, and he is willing to lend his skills, and more importantly, his heart, to teach a child the beauty of being a sports person, and the lessons of life that e from good petition.

And so I want to thank you very much, Adam, for being here, and representing all the folks who volunteer at this program. (Applause.)

At the end of the presidency, you get to do a lot of "lasts." I don't know if you saw on TV, but I pardoned my last Thanksgiving turkey. (Laughter.) This is my last policy speech. As President of the United States, this is the last policy address I will give. What makes it interesting is that it's the same subject of my first policy address as President of the United States, which is education and education reform.

I hope you can tell that education is dear to my heart. I care a lot about whether or not our children can learn to read, write, and add and subtract. When I was a governor of Texas, I didn't like it one bit when I'd go to schools in my state and realize that children were not learning so they could realize their God-given potential. I didn't like it because I knew the future of our society depended upon a good, sound education.

I was sharing this story with people that Laura and I just met with, and at the time I went to a high school in my state, one of our big city high schools. And I said, thanks for teaching -- I met this teacher. I think his name is Brown, if I'm not mistaken.

SECRETARY SPELLINGS: Nelson Brown.

THE PRESIDENT: Nelson Brown. And he taught geography and history, if I'm not mistaken. I said, "How is it going, Mr. Brown?" He said, "It's going lousy." I said, "Why?" He said, "Because my kids cannot read and they're in high school." You see, the system was just satisfied with just shuffling kids through -- if you're 14 you're supposed to be here, if you're 16 you're supposed to be there. Rarely was the question asked: Can you read? Or can you write? Or can you add and can you subtract?

And so we decided to do something about it. We said such a system is unacceptable to the future of our state. And that's the spirit we brought to Washington, D.C. It's unacceptable to our country that vulnerable children slip through the cracks. And by the way, guess who generally those children are? They happen to be inner-city kids, or children whose parents don't speak English as a first language. They're the easiest children to forget about.

We saw a culture of low expectations. You know what happens when you have low expectations? You get lousy results. And when you get lousy results, you have people who say, there's no future for me in this country.

And so we decided to do something about it. We accepted the responsibility of the office to which I had been elected. It starts with this concept: Every child can learn. We believe that it is important to have a high quality education if one is going to succeed in the 21st century. It's no longer acceptable to be cranking people out of the school system and saying, okay, just go -- you know, you can make a living just through manual labor alone. That's going to happen for some, but it's not the future of America, if we want to be a petitive nation as we head into the 21st century.

We believe that every child has dignity and worth. But it wasn't just me who believed that. Fortunately, when we got to Washington, a lot of other people believed it -- Democrats and Republicans. I know there's a lot of talk about how Washington is divided, and it has been at times -- at times. And it can get awfully ugly in Washington. But, nevertheless, if you look at the history over the past eight years, there have been moments where we have e together. And the No Child Left Behind Act is one such moment.

It gives me a chance now to thank Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts, Senator Gregg of New Hampshire, Congressman Miller of California, Congressman Boehner of Ohio -- Republicans and Democrats who worked together to get this piece of legislation passed. I believe that in signing that bill we enacted the most sweeping education reforms in a long, long time.

The philosophy behind the law is pretty straightforward: Local schools remain under local control. In exchange for federal dollars, however, we expect results. We're spending money on schools, and shouldn't we determine whether or not the money we're spending is yielding the results society expects?

So states set standards. One reason this school makes sense is because you have a principal who sets high standards, keeps that bar high. And we hold schools accountable for meeting the standards. There -- we set an historic goal, and that is to -- every child should learn to read and do math at grade level by 2014.

The key to measuring is to test. And by the way, I've heard every excuse in the book why we should not test -- oh, there's too many tests; you teach the test; testing is intrusive; testing is not the role of government. How can you possibly determine whether a child can read at grade level if you don't test? And for those who claim we're teaching the test, uh-uh. We're teaching a child to read so he or she can pass the test.

Testing is important to solve problems. You can't solve them unless you diagnose the problem in the first place. Testing is important to make sure children don't slip too far behind. The facts are, if you get too far behind in reading, for example, it's nearly impossible to catch up. That's why it's important to test early.

Measuring results allows us to focus resources on children who need extra help. And measuring gives parents something to pare other schools with. You oftentimes hear, oh, gosh, I wish parents were more involved. Well, one way to get parental involvement is to post results. Nothing will get a parent's attention more than if he or she sees that the school her child goes to isn't performing as well as the school around the corner.

Measurement is essential to success. When schools fall short of standards year after year, something has to happen. In other words, there has to be a consequence in order for there to be effective reforms. And one such thing that can happen is parents can enroll their children in another school. It's -- to me, measurement is the gateway to true reform, and measurement is the best way to ensure parental involvement.

By the way, school choice was only open to rich people up until No Child Left Behind. It's hard for a lot of parents to be able to afford to go to any other kind of school but their neighborhood school. Now, under this system, if your public school is failing, you'll have the option of transferring to another public school or charter school. And it's -- I view that as liberation. I view that as empowerment.

There's been a lot of debates about the requirements of No Child Left Behind. No question a piece of legislation like this encourages debate -- and that's fine. That's part of the democratic process. But there is no debate about the results -- the first time all 50 states and the District of Columbia have accountability plans in place. The data is being disaggregated. That means that we -- instead of just lumping all children together and say, oh, isn't everything beautiful, we actually break each child out to determine whether or not he or she is getting the kind of education parents and society expects. And that's an important reform.

Instead of looking the other way when students are falling behind, policymakers at all levels are now beginning to be focused on how to close the achievement gap. Achievement gap is -- it means this: White students are reading here, and African American students are reading here, and Latino students are reading down here. And that is unacceptable for the United States of America.

In the classroom, students are learning from highly qualified teachers. In other words, that's part of the reforms of encouraged -- the focus on highly qualified teachers. Schools have adopted research-proven strategies for reading instruction. There's a lot of debate, if you follow the public education debates closely, there's a lot of debate about what's the best kind of reading program as to how to best teach a child to read. Well, when you measure, it helps you determine which system works the best. The principal was describing to us, we're always adjusting and looking to make sure our education fits each individual child. In other words, she's constantly analyzing her instruction strategies, and a measurement system allows you to do so.

There's a new Teacher Incentive Fund in place, as a result of No Child Left Behind reforms, and a city like Philadelphia are rewarding educators for taking jobs in this city's toughest classrooms, and those who are achieving results. In other words, there's an incentive to make sure good teachers get in the classrooms all throughout the city. And by the way, this is happening all across our country.

You know, I mentioned disclosure. More and more districts are producing annual report cards, and that's really important. And I did mention to you what they call supplemental services. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, when you find a disadvantaged child falling behind where he or she should be, there's extra money for tutoring. And across the country there's now about a half a million students benefitting from the tutoring that es from No Child Left Behind. It makes sense, doesn't it? It says we're going to measure, and if we determine you need extra help, here's some money to help you -- so that you don't fall behind, so that you catch up.

The number of charter schools, by the way, has more than doubled over the past seven years. Charter schools provide good outlets. And I met the head of the -- president of the Charter School Association here in Philadelphia. He said 10 years ago there were four, and today there are -- yes, a lot. (Laughter.) When you get over 60, it's hard to hear. (Laughter.)

The most important result of the No Child Left Behind is this: Fewer students are falling behind; more students are achieving high standards. We have what's called the Nation's Report Card. For those who wonder whether or not we should strengthen No Child Left Behind, I want you to hear this: 4th graders earned the highest reading and math scores in the history of the test. Minority and disadvantaged students made some of the largest gains, with African Americans and Hispanics posting all-time highs in several categories. (Applause.)

No Child Left Behind is working for all kinds of students in all kinds of schools in every part of the country. That is a fact. There's still a long way to go, however. Secretary Spellings has worked hard to give schools tools and flexibility. She issued new regulations that will reward schools for progress students make from year to year. She helps to provide programs that provide a clear graduation rate. And one of the problems we've had, of course, is getting enough out in a timely fashion to empower parents to be able to make wise decisions about the future of their children. And she has worked steadily to make sure that gets to parents in a timely fashion.

Obviously, a piece of legislation like this takes promise. But there is no promise to the basic premise of No Child Left Behind, and that is we need to measure on a clear set of goals. We need a few goals that have got maximum impact. And we need to know whether or not those goals are being met. People say, can you possibly meet the goal you set? And the answer is absolutely we can meet the goals that we've set. And not only is it absolutely -- confident we can meet it, I know it is necessary that we do meet those goals.

Laura and I have been privileged to travel to schools over the past eight years such as this. And you'd be amazed at what we get to see. We get to see hardworking, decent citizens who dedicate their lives to making sure no child is left behind. And we have seen innovators who are willing to try different approaches to achieve the same result. So we went to Harlem to see a school district there. They attend school for 10 hours a day. So the educators, taking advantage of local control, said, what is required to make sure that we meet high standards? In this case, the educators said, well, we need to have school 10 hours a day. The teachers give parents their cell phone numbers, so that they can be called any time. And as the teachers told us, they do get called any time -- (laughter) -- to help solve problems. I was just thankful that there weren't cell phones when I was going to elementary school. (Laughter.)

I have seen the resolve for reform and the belief in high standards in Chicago, where reading and math scores are soaring, and where every child still has time to study a foreign language and the fine arts. The school in Chicago we went to, like other schools across the city, have benefitted from the vision and leadership of a person named Arne Duncan. And he is going to be the next Secretary of Education. And we are fortunate he has agreed to take on this position. And we wish him all the very best. (Applause.)

Laura and I will never forget the resolve that we saw in New Orleans after Katrina, and the determination by principals and teachers to get their schools up and running -- and they did. And by the way, they have placed innovation at the center of a rebuilding school system. They believe in high standards and accountability to make sure that out of the rubble of Katrina es a world-class education system.

And we've seen the resolve here at Kearny. That's why we're here. Every year -- we met a mom, who told us her twins now e to this school. You know, it's interesting what happens when you post scores. Nobody cares more about a child's education, obviously, than the first teacher a child has, which is a parent. And this notion about how parents really don't seem to care -- they care, believe me. And when there's transparency in the system it helps them make informed choices. And so the mom was saying her twins e here. She also said, by the way, they weren't really reading up to snuff initially, and yet they got extra help. And now, guess what. They're reading up to snuff. Kearny School works.

They mute for miles. Some of the families mute for miles because they understand it's a place of excellence. This is a school where a lot of munity and faith-based groups e to help. And that is really, really great of you to do that. And by the way, it happens in other schools, too. And if you're interested in how you can serve America, why don't you volunteer in your local school? If you want to be a member of the army of passion in America, help your schools. Help your schools help each child realize their God-given potential.

I believe that it is going to be important for our citizens to take a hard look at No Child Left Behind, and listen to the facts of No Child Left Behind, and then say with clear voice, for the sake of our children's future, this good law needs to be strengthened and reauthorized by the United States Congress. (Applause.)

There is a growing consensus across the country that now is not the time to water down standards or to roll back accountability. There is a growing consensus that includes leaders of the business munities across America who see an increasingly global economy and, therefore, believe in standards and accountability. There's a growing consensus amongst leaders of civil rights organizations -- like La Raza, and the Urban League, and the Education Equality Project. These leaders refuse to accept what I have called the soft bigotry of low expectations. There's a growing consensus -- includes a lot of parents, and superintendents, and mayors, and governors who insist that we put our children first.

And so I've e to herald the success of a good piece of legislation. I have e to talk to our citizens about the results that this reform has yielded. And I call upon those who can determine the fate of No Child Left Behind in the future to stay strong in the face of criticism, to not weaken the law -- because in weakening the law, you weaken the chance for a child to succeed in America -- but to strengthen the law for the sake of every child.

Thank you for letting us e by for the last policy address that we have been honored to make. God bless you. (Applause.)

$18 billion.

That’s what Wall Street bankers pulled down in bonuses over the past two months, according to a report from the New York State ptroller -- even as many of these institutions received billions in taxpayer dollars.

"That is the height of irresponsibility. It is eful," President Obama said today, following a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and the rest of the economic team.

Read the President’s full remarks below.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AFTER MEETING WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT
AND THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
The White House, Oval Office
January 29, 2009

THE PRESIDENT: Well, it's good to see you guys. I just had a terrific conversation with my Secretary of the Treasury, the Vice President, as well as the rest of our economic team, about the steps that we need to move forward on -- not only on the economic recovery and reinvestment package, but also on making sure that we begin the process of regulating Wall Street so that we can improve the flow of credit, banks start lending again, so that businesses can reopen, and that we can create more jobs -- but also to make sure that we never find ourselves in the kind of crisis that we're in again, that we've seen over the last several months.

And Secretary Geithner is hard at work on this process. We expect that even as the reinvestment and recovery package moves forward -- as I said, that's only one leg of the stool, and that these other legs of the stool will be rolled out systematically in the ing weeks so that the American people will have a clear sense of a prehensive strategy designed to put people back to work, reopen businesses and credit flowing again.

One point I want to make is that all of us are going to have responsibilities to get this economy moving again. And when I saw an article today indicating that Wall Street bankers had given themselves $20 billion worth of bonuses -- the same amount of bonuses as they gave themselves in 2004 -- at a time when most of these institutions were teetering on collapse and they are asking for taxpayers to help sustain them, and when taxpayers find themselves in the difficult position that if they don't provide help that the entire system could e down on top of our heads -- that is the height of irresponsibility. It is eful.

And part of what we're going to need is for folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint and show some discipline and show some sense of responsibility. The American people understand that we've got a big hole that we've got to dig ourselves out of -- but they don't like the idea that people are digging a bigger hole even as they're being asked to fill it up.

And so we're going to be having conversations as this process moves forward directly with these folks on Wall Street to underscore that they have to start acting in a more responsible fashion if we are to together get this economy rolling again. There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses -- now is not that time. And that's a message that I intend to send directly to them, I expect Secretary Geithner to send to them -- and Secretary Geithner already had to pull back one institution that had gone forward with a multimillion dollar jet plane purchase at the same time as they're receiving TARP money. We shouldn't have to do that because they should know better. And we will continue to send that message loud and clear.

Having said that, I am confident that with the recovery package moving through the House and through the Senate, with the excellent work that's already been done by Secretary Geithner in consultation with Larry Summers and Paul Volcker and other individuals, that we are going to be able to set up a regulatory framework that rights the ship and that gets us moving again. And I know the American people are eager to get moving again -- they want to work. They are serious about their responsibilities; I am, too, in this White House and I hope that the folks on Wall Street are going to be thinking in the same way.

翻譯：shanghai的上海人千萬別自稱為Shanghaier

shanghai這個詞看起來非常眼生，它的確來源於中國第一年夜都会上海的台甫Shanghai。但小寫以後卻暗示“拐騙”跟“脅迫”的意义，特別指“用酒粗或麻醒劑令人落空知覺，然後劫到船上噹海员”。

這一不光荣奪的露義，能够逃泝到19世紀專門跑舊金山（San Francisco)到上海這條航線的遠洋商船，它們正在離開上海之前经常拐騙一些中國人到船上噹勞工，而到了舊金山後又把他們賣失落。這種止徑在好國的俚語裏便被稱為shanghai,而短語 be Shanghaied into going somewhere則默示“補拐騙至某天”。被拐騙的人叫shanghaier, 所以上海人千萬別自稱為 Shanghaier，哈佛翻譯社，而定本人為 Shanghai lander,可則會引发誤解的。

還有一點，Shanghai 還表现上海的一種特產的“浦東雞”。

翻譯：四六級四年夜熱點解答四 新題型到底新正在哪 - 技能心得

　　自從年2月25日，教育部發佈有關於大壆英語四六級攷試新的变革计划以來，每步改造计划的實施皆會引发包含廣大在校大壆生、大壆英語教師、下校負責人、四六級培訓壆校和应聘單位在內的諸多方里的關注。日前，僟位業內存在代表性的四六級攷試專傢壆者做客新浪教导頻讲，他們就新形勢下4、六級緊慢四大FAQ(Frequently-Asked Question)，如四六級鼎新、分數解釋、新題型攷點剖析、高分備戰战略等廣大攷生關注的問題，進止周全詳細的答疑解惑。

　　張子宏：“陽光英語”叢書主編、中國青年政治壆院係主任，北京國際關係壆院英語專業。

　　張磊：英語測試壆，曾在好國芝减哥大壆做訪問壆者，《大壆英語》雜志“启面人物”。

　　溫泉、臧海鵬：齐國有名四六級輔導名師，在北京、天津、沈陽、大連、長春等十余個北方中心都会长年主講四六級。

　　解惑四：新題型到底新在了哪裏？改革後的四六級攷試對攷生最大的挑戰究竟是什麼？如何應對？

　　溫泉：在過往的19年裏(四級攷試從1987開始進行)我們能够明白地看到四六級攷試改革走的是一條從“美國化”到“國際化”再到“有中國特色的國際化”這樣一條途径，舉例來說，1997年四六級攷試新增的聽力復合式聽寫(pound Dictation)和階段性攷察的英譯漢(E to C Translation)與簡短答复(Short Answer)都是主觀題，是對“輸进”、“處理”+“輸出”能力的綜合性檢驗。而說到“國際化”，也許沒有什麼比全國大壆英語四六級攷試委員會所出书的大壆英語四級攷試試點攷試樣卷中的“倏地閱讀”(Skimming & Scanning)更能體現，樣題中的“Y (Yes)、N(No) or NG(Not Given)題型，就是我們按照世界上另外一首要英語攷試體係，即英聯邦的(IELTS)攷試設計的，因而新題型的四六級攷試，將會同時具備美國和英聯邦英語母語攷試的特點，兼顧“傚率”與“本質”，彼此補充，從而找到最科壆的攷試切进點。

　　噹然，依据中國大壆英語教壆的特點，創制出“有中國特点”的英語攷試係統，才是四六級革新的最終目标，為次我們也在不斷的嘗試與尽力，五姊妹翻譯社，起首“英美結开國際化”就是我們的特征之一，其次，以改錯(Error Correction)、選詞挖空和漢譯英(C to E Translation)為代表的攷試題型，就是“中國化”的體現，改錯旨在删強壆生語行的類比才能，從而防止總是应用“中國式英語”(Chinglish);選詞填空，就是更為高級化的“完型填空”，重要是幫助中國壆生进步我們在壆英語時所完善的“宏觀閱讀”才能，若何壆會用整體掌握侷部的能力；而新題型中將“英譯漢”改成“漢譯英”則“一大本質飛躍”，充足體現了四六級攷試中的“中國主動權”；同時也更合乎中西方語言文明交换的現實意義。噹然，最能體現“中國特点”的項目是寫作，無論是四級的“大壆生身邊的見聞感触”還是六級的“用大壆生的目光來觀察社會”，四六級攷試的寫作話題是絕對的中國化。

　　張磊：在我們談論四六級攷試改造之前，我們必須要讓壆生完整懂得，“到底問什麼要壆好英語？”通過四六級等攷試只是此中一個很小的起因，而更主要的意義則须要我們把眼力台的更高一些，壆好英語，攷好四六級是為了將本人從一個“中國大壆生”培養成為一個“國際大壆生”，從“國傢人材”降級為“國際人才”。所以，作為一位英語教師，我對教育部高教司在2004 年头組織制订並在全國局部高校開初試點《大壆英語課程教壆要供(試行)》特別認同。果為《教壆请求》明確規定，大壆英語課程的教壆目標是：培養壆生的英語綜合應用能力，特別是聽說能力，天成翻译社，使他們在古後事情和社會来往中能用英語有傚天進行心頭和書面的疑息交换。這是我們看到懂得決應試與應用能力抵触的理論指導，而四級攷試新題型中所出現的“聽力長對話”和“快捷閱讀”更使我們看到了具體的實踐办法。

　　臧海鵬：其實，雖然中正在題型發死了變化，但“萬變不離其宗”。舉例來說，疾速閱讀中的 “Yes、No or Not Given”這個從中引進過來的題型，良多壆生觉得我從下脚，特别是“No”跟“Not Given”的區別，民圆樣題中給的解釋是:

　　“N(for No)商场 if the statement contradicts the given in the passage;”

　　“NG(for Not Given)翻�if the is not given in the passage.”

　　壆生看了，也懂了，但還是不會做題！其實我只說一句話，問題就解決了。“Yes”战“No”的題其實便是以前我們講過的閱讀中的“細節題”；而“Not Given”其實就是“推理題”或“宗旨題”，方式按炤之前我們講過的閱讀的三年夜類型題目解題办法便可。

　　溫泉：又如，新增添的“聽力長對話”這個題型，良多壆生壓力很大，不僅是因為中國壆生聽力基礎自身就单薄，更是因為官方解釋說長對話信息量大，語言特別生涯化，而且聽時轻易“迷路”。壆生一下就被嚇住了，而我們則會對壆生說，這個新題型很實用，情势很实實，但一點都不難，一方面，老師幫您總結好了一些经常使用的情形口語；并且攷試次要攷的是信息不是語言，另一方面，長對話嗎，大傢都晓得，必定是互相交換話題，那麼侷部确定是一個人提問(次說)，一個人主說，所以只有你捉住提問人的提醒，全文的脈絡一会儿就掌握住了，而後面問的問題，许多就是那個“次說”人，在對話中問過的問題。這麼一說，大多數壆生一会儿就後對這個新題型感应“释然開朗”。

　　張子宏：儘筦在實施要领上有一些爭議，但各方面對四六級攷試改革的急切性和實傚性已經達成了共識，那就是作為全球最大規模的第两語言攷試，中國的四六級攷試必須有本身的特色，在背國際化標准看齊的同時，我們特別關注中國大壆生在英語時的一些具體情況，具體問題，作為一種英語程度攷試，通過四六級我們不僅能夠比較片面、公正的反應出一個壆生，在經歷了從小壆到中壆再到大壆十余年的英語後所能達到的英語程度，供用人單位參攷，更要通過攷試幫助全國的英語教師和大壆生認識到英語的本質，從而在获得應試能力與應用能力雙贏的条件下，進一步晋升大壆英語教壆質量。
