【聯合新聞網╱台北訊】2010/11/24

「A multilateral free trade agreement and global economic imbalances will be at the top of the agenda when national leaders gather at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit later this week. 各國領袖們將一同出席於本週將舉行的「亞太經濟合作(APEC)峰會」,而多邊自由貿易協議以及全球經濟失衡將列為首要議程。…」透過這則中英對照的新聞,你可認識APEC,並學習像自由貿易協議(free trade agreement)、全球經濟失衡(global economic imbalances)、貿易自由化(trade liberalization)等時事英文關鍵字。這些精彩的內容,你可以在聯合電子報新推出的【EnglishDNA電子報】看到!

My ccomments: Some English teaching pedagogies are against translation for fear of the interference from the learners' first language. However, I find that under some circumstances first langauge enhances instead of hindering foreign language learning.

An NTNU professor once told me that it was not until she translated the English in her son's textbook into Chinese and recorded both the English and the Chinese versions into tapes for her 3rd-grade son to listen to that he started to make progress and take interest in English.
