“課外活動(dòng)”知多少 [ 2007-06-06 09:14 ]
今年秋季開學(xué)以后,全國中小學(xué)生每天都要跳校園集體舞。新編的校園集體舞共分七套,每套舞蹈大約4至5分鐘,將安排在每天課間休息和課外活動(dòng)時(shí)間進(jìn)行。
請(qǐng)看《中國日?qǐng)?bào)》相關(guān)報(bào)道:Primary and secondary school students will dance into the new
semester when the activity becomes compulsory nationwide from September 1.
Seven sets of group dances have been designed to "suit
the physical and psychological characteristics of students at different ages".
Each dance set lasts 4-5 minutes, and will be performed during class breaks or
in extra-curricular time
.
報(bào)道中的“extra-curricular time”指的就是“課外活動(dòng)時(shí)間”,相應(yīng)的,“extra-curricular
activities”則是我們自小都在接觸的“課外活動(dòng)”。
所謂“課外活動(dòng)”就是學(xué)校里不包括curricular(正規(guī)課程)在內(nèi)的各項(xiàng)活動(dòng),說白了,就是除必修課外再“額外附加”(extra-)的活動(dòng)。
“額外附加的”,“在…之外的”可用前綴extra-來表達(dá),英語中類似的合成詞如:extramarital love(婚外戀),extra
charge(附加費(fèi)),extra income(額外收入)。
看下面一個(gè)例句:She's involved in many extra-curricular activities, such as music,
sport and drama.(她參加了許多課外活動(dòng),如音樂、體育運(yùn)動(dòng)和戲劇。)
