【正文】 Happiness classes are also intended to make students more aware about their environment and society as a whole. During classes students are encouraged to express themselves and observe their peers‘ behavior. The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor and visiting lecturer. Bjoern Bonn: One of the exercises I do is to have one of the students walk across the classroom, with the others copying his walk. Through this exercise, I hope they learn something about themselves. Why do I move like this? How do others see my way of walking? I hope that with a higher body awareness they ideally –of course it will take timeachieve a higher selfconsciousness which could lead to happiness. Wolfgang Lang: We give these classes to students to help them find happiness. Now the 外語下載中心 外語下載中心 question is: How do I define happiness? Happiness is for example a strengthening of the personality. We are providing helpful suggestions to make stronger people. People that ask“ Who am I as a person? Am I really happy?‖ Pascal Gemble: It takes time and everybody has to find happiness for themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson and say teach me happiness. One can only get indications from teachers or the visiting lecturers. There are also happiness scientists, if we could talk to one of those, I am sure he would have some hints. Yosma Pinar Cetinkaya: You would think that the teachers are writing definitions on the board. Not true. Those who want happiness have to find it for themselves, you cannot really learn that. So what does it take to be happy and can you learn it at school? 當(dāng)學(xué)生想起學(xué)校，快樂不是多數(shù) 人 想到的。目前，德國一所學(xué)校已經(jīng) 創(chuàng)造 了一種新穎的通過在課堂上教授快樂的方法來提升其學(xué)生們的精神面貌。 Heidelberg ?s Willy Hellpach School of Economics 正在研究怎樣將快樂實(shí)現(xiàn)為與數(shù)學(xué)和語言一樣的官方課程。這是德國第一家 開設(shè) 快樂課程的學(xué)校，意欲為 17 至 19 歲的學(xué)生作高考的準(zhǔn)備。 Ernst FritzSchubert,學(xué)校的校長，肩負(fù)著變革的使命。 Ernst FritzSchubert：“這是我的想法 —我已經(jīng)在 這所學(xué)校呆了 31 年，我認(rèn)為學(xué)校和快樂必須被重組，這是不被認(rèn)為該在一起的兩部分，因?yàn)閷W(xué)生不把學(xué)校與快樂聯(lián)系起來。在某些情況下，學(xué)校在受歡迎程度上落后于牙醫(yī)，我們應(yīng)該努力推動學(xué)校的受歡迎度。 科學(xué)已經(jīng)證明一個(gè)快樂的學(xué)生能比一個(gè)不快樂的學(xué)生學(xué)到更多。不快樂的學(xué)生能在一段時(shí)間內(nèi)集中注意力，但不能發(fā)揮他們所有的潛力，這些快樂課程致力于幫助學(xué)生發(fā)揮他們的潛能，能幫學(xué)生生活在快樂繁榮的生活中。 ‖ 這種課程旨在幫助學(xué)生們通過用他們自己的 特長 和激勵(lì)他們的自尊來達(dá)到思想的積極狀態(tài)。另外，他們希望課程會增加自覺意識和身 體素質(zhì)，快樂課程還致力于讓學(xué)生意識到環(huán)境與社會是作為一個(gè)整體存在。課堂期間學(xué)生被鼓勵(lì)表達(dá)自我和關(guān)注同伴的行為，課程由演員和客座講師 Bjoern Bonn 講授。 Bjoern Bonn：“我做的其中一個(gè)練習(xí) 是 讓學(xué)生走過教室，其他學(xué)生模仿他的步伐。通過這個(gè)練習(xí)，我希望他們從自己身上學(xué)得一些東西‘為什么我像這樣行動？其他人怎樣評價(jià)我走路的方式？’我希望伴隨著更高的身體意識他們原則上 ——當(dāng)然這需要時(shí)間 ——實(shí)現(xiàn)更高的抵達(dá)快樂的自我意識?！? Wolfgang Lang：“我們?yōu)閷W(xué)生們開設(shè)這些課程來幫助他 們 找 尋快樂，現(xiàn)在問題是：我該如何給快樂下定義？ 比如 快樂是個(gè)性的加強(qiáng)。我們正提供有幫助的建議來使學(xué)生更強(qiáng)健，學(xué)生會問： 我是一個(gè)怎樣的人 ？我真的高興嗎？” Pascal Gembe：“這需要花時(shí)間，每個(gè)人必須為自己找尋快樂，你不可能去一個(gè)訓(xùn)練課說：‘教給我快樂’。一個(gè)學(xué)生只能從教師或客座講師那得到暗示，另外也有研究快樂的科學(xué)家，如果我們能與他們之一交流，我確信他能給一些暗示。” Yosma Pinar Cetinkaya：“你會認(rèn)為老師在黑板上寫下快樂的定義，那不正確。哪些想得到快樂的學(xué)生必須為他們自己尋找， 你不能真正通過學(xué)習(xí)得到?！? 既然如此，得到快樂的代價(jià)是什么？你能在學(xué)校學(xué)到它嗎？ Unit 2 Inside view Conversion 1 外語下載中心 外語下載中心 Ja Hey, look at that! It‘s just like I‘ve seen it in the films! Andy Wele to London, my hometown. We are in Shoutwark, south of the river. there‘s London bridge off to your left, and there‘s Tower Bridge. Ja I‘m really impressed. How old is it? Andy It‘s only about 120 years old. Ja well, that‘s quite old. Andy the London Docks used to be around this area. What happened was that about three or four times a day, they raised Tower Bridge, so the bigger ships could e right into London. But because they couldn‘t go under London bridge, they had to stop and unload here. Ja Does Tower Bridge still open? Andy well, not so often. When I was a kid, I think I saw tower bridge go up fairy often, all the traffic had to wait for the ships to pass through the bridge. Anyway, just this side of London bridge were lots of warehouses, where they kept their cargo. But during the second world war, there was lots of bombing over London… Ja yes, I read about that… the Blitz? Andy that‘s right. And even when I was a kid, I remember that many of the buildings were still damaged. But in the late 1980s and 90s, this whole area was redeveloped, you can see for yourself, it‘s a trendy place to live now. Ja is the river thames still polluted? Andy well, it certainly used to be polluted. I remember it had a very distinctive smell, if you fell in, they used to take you to hospital. Ja that‘s sounds revolting! Andy yes, but in the 1960s, they cleaned it up, and in fact it‘s now one of the cleanest city rivers in the world. 翻譯： 珍妮特 嘿，看那！和我在電影里看到的一樣啊 ！ 安迪 歡迎來到我的故鄉(xiāng)倫敦。我們現(xiàn)在是在河的南邊 southwark,在你的左邊是倫敦大橋，那邊是倫敦塔橋。 珍妮特 真讓人嘆為觀止?。∷卸嚅L的歷史了 ? 安迪 只有大概 120 年吧。 珍妮特 已經(jīng)很久了。 安迪 輪的碼頭以前就在這附近，他們以前每天都會吧塔橋升起來三四次，以便讓大船進(jìn)入倫敦，但船又不能通過倫敦大橋，所以只能在這停下來下貨了。 珍妮特 塔橋現(xiàn)在還會開放嗎？ 安迪 嗯，偶爾吧。我小的時(shí)候經(jīng) 常看到塔橋升起來，當(dāng)時(shí)所有的車都會停下來等橋下的船通過。倫敦橋這邊還有許多他們用來存放貨物的倉庫，但倫敦在二戰(zhàn)期間遭到了許多轟炸。 珍妮特 是的，我在書上看到過，德國空襲，對吧？ 安迪 沒錯(cuò)，甚至在我小的時(shí)候，還有許多遺留下來的被毀建筑，但在 80 年代后期到90 年代，這邊整個(gè)區(qū)域都重建了。你看，現(xiàn)在這已經(jīng)是一個(gè)很時(shí)髦的居住地了！ 珍妮特 泰晤士河 現(xiàn)在還是污染的嗎？ 安迪 以前是，記得以前這有股很特別的味道，你一旦掉下去，就會被送去醫(yī)院。 外語下載中心 外語下載中心 珍妮特 聽起來有點(diǎn)惡心。 安迪 是的，但 60 年代已經(jīng)被清理干凈了，實(shí)際上它現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是世界上最干凈的河流之一了。 Conversion 2 Ja It is very different from the parts of London I know. Andy The thing about Southwark is that it‘s a typical suburb of London, full of old buildings and shops. And this is where I grew up. I used to live in that building there. Ja It‘s amazing. It looks very old. Andy Yes, it‘s about 80 years old Ja And where did you go to school? Andy Let me see. Yes , it was about a mile away from here. From about the age of eight, I used to go by bike. We all made our way to school on our own, meeting up with friends along the way until there was a large gang of us kids as we got closer to school. These days parents are much more protective and take their kids to school by car. It‘s safer, but it‘s not as much fun. Anyway …where was I? Ja You were telling me about your schooldays. Andy That‘s right. Anyway,
