新视野大学英语1sectionB文章翻译

一、While regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community.（虽然常规的学校依然存在，但虚拟课堂在今天的教学领域中起着重要的作用。） Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are becoming aware of online learning that allows them to study at home. （随着学生就业机会的迅速增多，越来越多不同年龄层的人开始意识到这种在家就学的网上学习方式。）Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful.（然而，网络学生需要具备一些特别的素质才能取得成功。） The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students. （以下是网上学生要取得成功必备的一些理想素质。）
　　1. Be open-minded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning.（与人分享生活、工作及学习经验，这些是网上学习的一部分。）
　　Many people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other.（许多人发现网上学习需要他们运用各自的经验，同时又为他们提供了相互交流的场所。） This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. （这一交流场所消除了一些学生自我表达的视觉障碍。）In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. （此外，学生在答题之前有时间进行思考，）In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.（这就使得网上环境开放而友好。）
　　2. Be able to communicate through writing. （能通过书写进行交流。）
　　In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing.（虚拟课堂的交流几乎都是书面形式。因而很重要的一点是学生要具有书面表达能力。） Some students have limited writing abilities, which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. (有些学生书面表达能力差，有待提高，可以在网上学习之前提高或将其作为网上学习的一部分。)This usually requires extra commitment by these students.( 这常常需要他们加倍努力。) Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. (不管是单独学习还是小组学习，学生们就学习内容交流观点和见解，并展开讨论，同时了解其他同学的意见。)In this way, students gain great insights from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor.( 这样，学生可以从同龄人那里得到启发，既跟老师学，又互相学习。)
　　3. Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise.(说出你的困难。)
　　Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course.( 记住，虚拟课堂里老师看不见学生。) This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests.( 这就意味学生必须直接明了地表达自己的看法和要求。) If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.( 如果碰到技术方面的问题，或在理解课程中遇到困难，必须大胆说出来，否则任何人都无从知晓问题所在。) If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem.( 如果某人不理解某个问题，或许别人也有同样的问题。) If another student is able to help, he or she probably will.( 如果有哪个学生能解决，他(她)也许就会帮助你。) While explaining something to others, students reinforce their own knowledge about the subject. (学生在给他人解释问题时，自己对该问题的认识也加深了。)
　　4. Take the program seriously.(认真对待课程。)
　　Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. （网上学习并不比课堂学习容易。）In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. （事实上，许多学生说它需要花更多的时间和努力。）Requirements for online courses are no less than those of any other quality program. （网络课程的要求不低于其他任何一种优质课程。）Successful online students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education—not an easier way. （然而，取得成功的学生认为网上学习是一种便捷的受教育方式，但并不容易。）Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. （晚上或周末，为了完成作业，许多网络学生在电脑前一坐就是几个小时。）When other people are finished with their work and studies and having fun, you'll most likely find online students doing their course work.（别人已完成作业和学习，开始玩耍，而此时网络学生却很可能还在上课。） Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week to each course. （他们每门课程每周要上4到15小时。）
　　5. Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of online learning（把批判性思维和决策作为网上学习的一部分。）
　　Online courses require students to make decisions based on facts as well as experience. （网络课程要求学生根据事实和经验做出决定。）It is absolutely necessary for students to assimilate information and make the right decisions based on critical thinking.（对学生来讲，理解并消化信息，并通过批判性思维做出正确的决定是十分必要的。） In a positive online environment, students feel valued by the instructor and by their classmates and feel good about their own work. （在积极的网络环境中，学生从老师、同学那里感受到自己的价值，对自己的学习也感到满意。）
　　6. Be able to think ideas through before replying. （三思而后答。）
　　Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning.（在虚拟课堂上做出有意义、高质量的回答是网上学习的重要部分。） Time is given to allow for careful development of answers. （要花时间斟酌并仔细作答，）Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged. （提倡对不同观点进行验证和质疑。）Online students will not always be right, so they need to be prepared to accept a challenge. （网络学生往往并不总是对的；他们应做好准备，迎接挑战。）
　　7. Keep up with the progress of the course. （跟上课程进度。）
　　Online learning is normally sequential and requires commitment on the students' part. （网上学习通常是循序渐进的，要求学生专心投入。）Keeping up with the class and completing all the work on time is vital. （与网络课程保持同步，并按时完成所有功课至关重要）Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up.（一旦落后就很难赶上。） Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. （学生要有成功的欲望，而且也要渴望这种经历。）The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.（老师可能会与学生面对面交流，提供帮助并提醒他们跟上进度的必要性）
　　Just as many excellent instructors may not be effective online facilitators, not all students have the necessary qualities to perform well online.（正如许多优秀教师并不能有效地用网络辅助教学一样，并不是所有学生都具备在网上学习中取得成功所需的素质） People who have the qualities discussed above usually make very successful online students.（具备上述素质的人通常能够成为优秀的网络学生） If you have these qualities, learning online may be one of the best discoveries you will ever make. （一旦拥有这些素质，网上学习说不定将是你最有价值的发现之一。）
