【摘要】：西方修辞是一个有着两千多年历史、致力于对言语所蕴含力量的理解、开发和运用的研究领域和人文学科,小到个人观点的产生、表达和交流,大到文化的形成、维系与传承,几乎西方所有社会实践活动都深受修辞影响。因此,修辞也被视为西方高等教育的核心,在西方人文教育传统中举足轻重。了解西方修辞,是我们了解西方与西方教育的重要前提和途径,对以培养与西方打交道的人才为己任的我国英语专业教育而言,理解、掌握和运用西方修辞更是题中应有之义。然而,长期以来国内学界对西方修辞的了解在很大程度上仍局限于英语辞格与文体这一狭小范围,对修辞与教育,尤其是与语言教育的密切关系缺乏充分认识。因此,有必要梳理西方修辞教育发展的历史脉络,理清修辞与英语教育的关系,为我国英语教育提供-个可资参照的对象。本研究简要梳理西方修辞教育的起源与发展,分析其主要特征与传统教学方式,并以此为基础探讨我国英语专业教育中修辞意识的薄弱问题及其解决方向。通过分析西方两千多年来各主要历史阶段修辞教育的理论建树和实践特征,揭示修辞在西方人文教育传统中的核心地位,同时厘清现代主义时期以来西方修辞教育陷入困境的根源所在；通过评介西方修辞教育的主要特征与传统教学形式,阐明修辞教育与交流能力、想象力、批判性思维和创造能力培养的关联,凸显修辞在西方公民道德教育方面的关键作用；以修辞的视角来审视我国外语教育,特别是英语专业教育的现状,使我们看到在基本话语理念上与西方的明显“代差”是导致我国英语专业教育长期“费时低效”、对外交流屡遭挫折的重要原因。本研究的主体虽是西方修辞教育传统,着眼点却是我国英语专业教育,旨在借助西方修辞的视角与理论资源促进我国英语教育的观念更新。
[Abstract]:Western rhetoric has a history of more than two thousand years. It is devoted to the understanding, development and application of the power of speech and the humanities, ranging from the generation, expression and exchange of personal views, to the formation, maintenance and inheritance of culture. Almost all social practices in the West are deeply influenced by rhetoric. Therefore, rhetoric is also regarded as the core of western higher education and plays an important role in the western humanistic education tradition. Understanding western rhetoric is an important prerequisite and way for us to understand the west and western education. For the English professional education in our country, it is necessary to understand, master and use western rhetoric in order to cultivate the talents who deal with the west. However, for a long time, the understanding of Western rhetoric in domestic academic circles is still limited to the narrow scope of English rhetoric and style to a great extent, and lacks a full understanding of the close relationship between rhetoric and education, especially between rhetoric and language education. Therefore, it is necessary to sort out the historical context of the development of rhetoric education in the West, to clarify the relationship between rhetoric and English education, and to provide a reference for English education in China. This study briefly combs the origin and development of rhetoric education in the West, analyzes its main characteristics and traditional teaching methods, and explores the weakness of rhetorical awareness in English major education in China and its solutions. By analyzing the theoretical achievements and practical characteristics of rhetoric education in various historical stages of the West in the past two thousand years, this paper reveals the core position of rhetoric in the western humanistic education tradition. At the same time, it clarifies the root of the predicament of the western rhetoric education since the modernism period, and clarifies the rhetoric education and communication ability, imagination through the review of the main characteristics and traditional teaching forms of the western rhetoric education. The relationship between critical thinking and creative ability training highlights the key role of rhetoric in the moral education of western citizens, and examines the present situation of foreign language education, especially English major education, in China from the perspective of rhetoric. So we can see that the obvious "generation difference" between the basic discourse concept and the West is an important reason for the long-term "time-consuming and inefficient" English major education in China and the repeated setbacks in foreign communication. Although the main body of this study is the western rhetorical education tradition, it focuses on the English professional education in China. It aims to promote the renewal of the concept of English education in China with the help of the western rhetoric perspective and theoretical resources.
