精彩内容 译者致小读者[ 美 ] 凯尔·大卫·安德森交朋友、 了解外国文化是我与生俱来的渴望。 当我还是个小男孩时,曾在中东、英国和美国不同的州居住过,享受着不同种族的人的悠久、灿烂的文化和贡献。我学了好几门外语(法语、西班牙语、意大利语、德语、拉丁语等),直到我终于发现了那个源远流长的汉字世界。对于外国人来说,学习中文似乎是一种苦行— 这不是个秘密。初学时期很艰难,压力蛮大的。不过,慢慢地,我找到一个突破初级和中级语言水平的关键方式,那就是 :阅读、背诵短篇小说、漫画和寓言故事。需要放几勺糖来咽下苦药— 这也不是个秘密。充满幽默感,有意义、有道德的寓言故事的吸引力,比如笨笨猪的一系列奇遇故事,比普通课本的吸引力要大得多。在体育界,有一个说法 :著名运动员永远不会只从学校习得技能,他还会从操场学到很多技能。学习语言的方式正是如此。据我教汉语、意大利语和英语的经验来看,最优秀的学生一向喜欢探索外语世界,并对外语一直保持着学习兴趣。就让《亲爱的笨笨猪》系列中英双语珍藏版,以及杨红樱女士其他作品的中英双语版,帮你提高英语水平 ;正如你微笑着学会生活中更重要的经验。About theTranslationKyle David AndersonI was born with a desire to make friends and learn about other countries and cultures. As a young boy, I lived in the Middle East, England and the United States, learning to appreciate and love the beauty and contributions of other people. I studied a number of languages (e.g. French, Spanish, Italian, German, Latin) until I discovered the timeless and historically-dense Chinese character.It is no secret that learning Chinese is one of the hardest tasks a foreigner can undertake. The first few years were very difficult and stressful. However, along the way, I found a method that broke me through the lower and intermediate-levels of the language: reading and reciting short stories, comics and moral tales.It is also no secret that infusing study with meaning and pleasure enhances learning. Humorous, meaningful and moral tales, such as the adventures of Silly Piglet, engage you like no school textbook can. There is a saying in the world of sport that a famous athlete will never acquire his skills just from schooling, but from the playground too. It is the exact same in language-learning.In my own experience as a foreign language teacher of Chinese, Italian and English, it is clear that the most successful students have always been those who found pleasure and hobbies in the foreign language.Let this book—Silly Piglet Limited Chinese-English Bilingual Version, and Yang Hongying’s many other writings, take you to a new level of competency in English, even as you smile and learn the greater lessons of life.
