万武洋-一个基层翻译
中央电视台的《希望英语》节目要把英语爱好者引向何方？
知道中央电视台的《希望英语》节目是从女儿读初中的时候，那个时候她经常看，我也陪她看。记得该节目组织“希望之星”各个组别（小学、初中、高中和在校大学生）的口语比赛，她总是在节目播出时间打开电视，调到那个台。那些能够进入决赛阶段的选手口语表达能力都非常好，女儿非常羡慕，我也鼓励她好好学习英语。那个时候还播出一些科普片，边看科普片边听，我认为女儿还能学到不少地道的表达方法和常见词汇，感觉这个节目办的不错。现在女儿也大了，我也不怎么看这个节目了。偶尔在看电视换频道时，正巧碰上该节目播出，我跟着看上一段。但是，感觉这个节目变味了。搞起了美食和旅游。外景主持到处游山玩水，介绍地方特色小吃，还逼着那些完全不懂英文的当地人进行翻译，有意义吗？我看干脆改叫为“吃喝玩乐”或“地方美食荟萃”算了。有一期节目甚至介绍什么陕西的“八大怪”，我想即使是山西人，也未必能够用中文把这八怪说完整，何况用英文呢？另外，即使你知道了这八大怪的对等英文，背诵得滚瓜烂熟，难道就表明你的英文水平高了吗？就算你能够用英文流利的说出这八大怪，有几个外国人能够体会出其中的新奇或幽默呢？
记得十多年前，我们公司接待过一个冠名为“美国大使”的篮球队。这个篮球队由美国在校大学生中的篮球高手组成，到我们公司与公司球队打一场友谊赛。我们公司的篮球队那个时候在南京市企业篮球队中是强队，我那个时候是企业的翻译，责无旁贷地要承担起接待中的翻译任务。领导要求我务必进行精心准备。其中有一项内容是要带领“美国大使”篮球队参观我们的厂区。我提前一个星期翻译好了公司准备好的介绍稿。那个时候也没有经验，介绍的内容几乎全是工厂里的各个装置，加工能力、原料和产品等。等“美国大使”篮球队到达我们公司后，按照既定计划，公司派了一辆车，载着这些大学生队员参观工厂，每到一个装置，我按照事先准备好的材料给他们进行介绍。刚开始，我还挺兴奋和激动，每到一处进行介绍一处，但是漫漫发现，他们根本就不感兴趣。后来参观结束后，我同其中的几个外向型的、看起来比较友好的学生交谈了一下，才知道他们根本听不懂我的介绍。我可以保证，我的英语发音还是挺标准的，我在专业方面的用词应该是没有问题的。那问题出在什么地方呢？问题在于这些大学生根本没有石油化工的基本知识。他们那知道“APS/VPS”是“常减压”，“FCC”是“流化催化裂化”，“Delayed coking unit”是“延迟焦化”，“Hydrocracking unit”是“加氢裂化”啊！就是中国人也听不懂这些中文啊！
我认为中央电视台主办的“希望英语”节目就犯了我们过去犯的同样错误，把广大英语爱好者引向了学习英语的死胡同。我真想知道，如果有外国人看他们的节目，外国人是否能够听懂他们说的那些所谓的“成语”“俚语”“谚语”。目前，我们大多数中国人的英语口语水平还停留在很低的水准，基础都没有打好，为什么要好高骛远呢？还有，我们的中国人在与外国人打交道的过程中，碰到了除了母语是英文的美国人、英国人、加拿大人、澳大利亚人等外，还有会讲英语的德国人、法国人、意大利人、丹麦人、沙特人、日本人、巴西人等啊。你跟他们讲非常高深的英语，这些母语不是英语的外国人也不能听懂啊。即使是英语他们母语或官方语言的外国人，也未必能够听的懂所有用正确英语表达的信息啊。就好比中央电视台的那些拿过“金话筒”奖的著名主持人到一个偏僻的农村，他们如果与能够听得懂普通话的村民进行交流时，用一大堆成语或高雅的词汇，这些村民可能会听得云里雾里。
语言是人们之间进行沟通的桥梁，这是语言的根本功能。好的英语不是用来炫耀的，好的英语首先是为了实现人们之间的顺利沟通。
提醒中央电视台“希望英语”节目的那些编导们、主持人们，你们要对节目的根本目的进行重新思考。对节目进行重新定位，把我们中国的广大英语爱好者引向一个正确地方向。
