二、阅读理解一

Learners of a new language often find themselves in

ambiguous(有歧义的) situations. These situations are

characterized by complexity, novelty(新奇), unexpectedness,

or a lack of clear-cut(清楚的) solutions. Such ambiguity arises

when a person does not understand a sentence, paragraph, or

conversation because it contains unfamiliar words or

3

structures. Persons who dislike uncertainty tend to become

confused and frustrated, perhaps withdrawing from the

situation. They may give up or, in the most extreme cases, even

go so far as to avoid further contact with the language. They

prefer safe situations in which everything has been practiced,

and explained. However, such behavior. is not constructive

because language students must learn to cope with uncertainty.

Uncertainty is an inescapable part of communication. When

someone speaks, he may occasionally feel unsure about his

ability to get his message across. Even in the case of native

speakers, there may be a lack of common background information,

for example. In the case of second-language- learners, they may

worry that grammatical or pronunciation errors will impede(阻

碍) communication or even make it impossible. Thus, the person

who dislikes ambiguity may prefer to remain silent if he is not

sure he can produce a perfect word. In fact, this behavior.

has been shown to impede true language learning. Since the main

goal is to communicate, one should simply concentrate on

producing a normal flow of speech, instead of being obviously

concerned with individual items. A spoken message, at the time

it is needed, no matter how imperfect, is worth many unspoken

messages, no matter how perfect. It is better to say something

4

promptly rather than say nothing at all or to take so long to

compose the words that the listeners patience is exhausted and

interest in further communication is destroyed. Therefore, the

successful language learner must deal with ambiguity and

include the presence of a certain degree of uncertainty in his

communicative strategies.
