They may have been w88 casino leaders, college leaders, well-known professors, or current leaders or alumni. I believe that their stories will allow you and me to better understand the development process of the w88 casino and college, and will definitely inspire you and me to think deeply about the current and future development of the University of International w88.
Understanding the connotation of language is the key

Wang Zhuoru is nearly ninety years old, with fair hair and a childlike face, and is full of energy. Facing the reporter's questions, he still had rigorous thinking and clear memory. During the interview, he was still able to talk about w88 casino's geographical location, important events, etc. during the interview. When he mentioned his former students, Wang Zhuoru couldn't hide his pride. He also told interesting stories that happened between teachers and students in the past, which caused bursts of laughter from the teachers and students who were visiting Mr. Wang. Although Wang Zhuoru has long since resigned and is recuperating at home, he is still very concerned about the current situation of w88 casino. When the author mentioned the new principal of w88 casino, Wang Zhuoru immediately answered the name of principal Shi Jianjun. WangZhuo Ru’sMy wife also said that they are still very concerned about various news about w88 casino. Not long ago, they saw a relatively biased ranking of colleges and universities on the Internet. They were angry for a long time about the unworthy and lagging ranking of the University of International w88.
Pioneers in translation in English teaching
Wang Zhuoruzai197411269_11349Hua LuogengI learned Russian together with my husband, and also acquired French. He can be said to be a master of multiple languages
Regarding the situation at that time, Wang Zhuoru recalled with emotion: “At that time, there was only one foreign language department in the College of Foreign w88. Among them, English is of course the largest department. In addition, in order to promote the development of diplomacy, there are also Russian, French, Arabic, German, Korean and other languages. The status of English is naturally unquestionable. Li Qiang, the then Minister of Foreign w88, gave clear instructions to Beijing University of Foreign w88: "You must learn English well!" "In order to enable students to better use the English language instead of learning mechanically, Wang Zhuoru and other teachers from the Beijing Foreign w88 Institute opened English translation courses. This was undoubtedly a monument in the exploration of English teaching in China at that time.
Living in that red era, the teaching materials used by Wang Zhuoru are undoubtedly linked to the times. At that time, "Marxism", "Leninism" and "The Communist Manifesto", which were regarded as holy scriptures, were all the teaching materials used by Wang Zhuoru. Wang Zhuoru said that these books are basically translated by a large group of advanced intellectuals organized by the party after repeated deliberation. They are of high standard and high quality. By studying these examples, students can be exposed to more authentic translation examples. As for translation, of course you can’t just read books without doing anything. In addition to studying textbooks, Wang Zhuoru often leaves students with many exercises on modern economic vocabulary, asking them to translate and ponder them by themselves, and then give them in class for evaluation. This graded homework was done back thenWang ZhuoruThe best part of the teacher’s teaching.
Wang Zhuoru said that translation is a technical job. You can’t just turn over, you also need to turn over quickly and accurately. Wang Zhuoru gave an example that was used in class that year. A student from Wuhan University wrote a children's poem, which is roughly as follows: "My mother gave me two pieces of cake.\I secretly kept one piece.\Don't ask me why.\Because I want to give it to the fire sellerChai’sMiss Sister”. Wang Zhuoru said: "This 'secretly leaving a piece' is an important point. Which word should students use? Is it the 'thief' 'steal' or the robber's 'steal'? It shouldn't be, because the 'steal' in this poem actually has a complimentary meaning. The Chinese word 'steal' here is for praise, not criticism or condemnation. So it can only be used heresilently,Cannot be usedstealthily. The biggest problem Chinese students have when translating is that they don’t have a deep understanding of word meanings. ”
In addition to translating Chinese into English, Wang Zhuoru also gave examples to prove some misunderstandings in English into Chinese. For example, during the meeting of the Big Three in World War II, Churchill said: "YES? "HereYESActually, it means sarcasm and negation, equivalent toNO. Therefore, Wang Zhuoru also reminds everyone who is engaged in English learning not to take words out of context during the translation process, but to make in-depth analysis based on the context.
I have been teaching for many years and have a deep relationship between teachers and students
When the author asked about the difference between Wang Zhuoru’s students back then and today’s students, Wang Zhuoru said with a smile that times shape people, and the students at that time naturally had the mark of being “popular and professional”. The students at that time were obedient and well-behaved, and the teachers were able to teach very smoothly. However, compared with today's students, they probably lacked some personality.
Wang Zhuoru recalled that at that time the w88 casino had tried its best to train students to avoid "deaf English" and "dumb English".
In order to strengthen the training of English, small class teaching method is adopted, with only one class20Multiple people, everyone must be involved in the conversation, asking questions, and answering. In this way, teachers and students will naturally have more opportunities to contact and understand each other, and the relationship will naturally become deeper. Wang Zhuoru was particularly impressed by a student named Zhu Zhongtian at that time. Zhu Zhongtian is a worker, peasant, and soldier student, and his English foundation is not very good. When he first entered w88 casino, he could only recognize English, but he could not open his mouth at all. This inevitably caused a lot of jokes among classmates. AndWang ZhuoruThe teacher also always took good care of him and gave him careful advice. Wang Zhuoru said that Zhu Zhongtian later achieved very good results in English due to his own efforts. "This child is willing to endure hardships and has good conduct. I remember that he used to be in the cooking class in the army. He was willing to work and often helped his classmates. How could such a child not learn well?" Wang Zhuoru said about his students with a smile that could not be concealed on his face.
The students of Beijing Foreign w88 casino were not only famous in the capital at that time, but also often won first prizes in English speech contests; after graduation, they also made great achievements and developed their careers successfully. The foreign w88 ministries and commerce ministries of various countries around the world have students from w88 casino. When Wang Zhuoru goes out to do business, he is driven by his former students wherever he goes, which makes him very proud. When it comes to his students, Wang Zhuoru can name them all: Wang Gang (sound) and Tang Weihua went to work at the United Nations, Huang Zhenhua went to Chicago to be a counselor, as well as Wang Xuewen, Yin Huiying, Ma Zhongmao, etc. When Mr. Wang went to the State University of New York for business a few years ago, his former student Zhu Qingpu warmly received him. Zhu Qingpu is the president of the Chinese Students Association of the State University of New York and has very high prestige there. Wang Zhuoru said: "Zhu Qingpu is a good boy. According to the students there, he is a live thunder feng. Every family needs to shave their heads, take a bath, change the gas... He helps every family, and he has a special reputation among everyone. He works hard, studies during the day, and helps the factory wash machines on Saturday nights to earn living expenses. His own conditions were not good at that time, and he secretly helped me pay for the first night's accommodation..." Speaking of this, Mr. Wang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
For students from the University of International w88 and Economics
When Wang Zhuoru answered the author's question about how to cultivate contemporary talents, he thought for a moment, and then said earnestly that the foundation determines the superstructure, and existence determines consciousness. He said that at any time, laying a good foundation must be the most important thing. When students are studying, don't be too ambitious and blindly take various exams; you should calm down and study pronunciation and grammar thoroughly, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort when you increase your study in the future.
In addition to learning, moral character is equally important. Professor Wang Zhuoru said that students must also establish a noble personality, which is beneficial to themselves, others, and their families. "It is true that the w88 casino spirit of a w88 casino cannot withstand social ideological trends. This is something that the principal cannot achieve no matter how hard he works. Civilized atmosphere requires everyone to realize it," he said earnestly.
