I started teaching at Hospital Son Lldtzer on Majorca in 2003.
2003年,我开始在马略卡岛的Son Lldtzer医院执教。
It is a provincial hospital, within the region of 400 beds, not all the specialties.
Son Lldtzer为省立医院,400张床位,科室并不齐备。
I had the great luck to begin working there about six months after its inauguration and therefore was there from the beginning.
自医院建成以来,有幸能在这里工作6个月之久,我也就是从这里开始的。
I taught groups of 25, and very often, especially with the low leavels, I needed to give them grammar lessons.
我教过25人课程,学生水平通常比较低,还要教授他们语法。
But, even at the low levels, I made them give “presentations”.
即使水平较低,我还要求他们进行课堂“演讲”。
The groups were very mixed.
学生分布在各个岗位。
There were doctors, nurses, auxiliary nurses, pharmacists, porters, lab technicians, computer staff, receptionists, and administrative staff.
有医生、护士、辅助护士、药剂师、护工、实验技师、计算机人员、咨询处工作人员以及行政人员。
This enormous variety of people all working in the same hospital was a great advantage both for me and for them.
无论是我还是学生,各岗位人员能够在同一家医院任职的确非常有力。
The classes were a way of allowing hospital staff to interact, who in the normal course of events would not do so.
课堂能让他们尽情交流,这样的交流在工作场合是不多见的。
Hospitals are very cliquey places, and porters do not often have the possibility to speak to the head of the Psychiatric Department.
医院是个”小团体”组织,通常情况下,护工是无法与精神病科主任进行沟通的。
You can never “learn” a language, but you can develop your knowledge to a sufficient level to be able to achieve different things such as speak to patients, give an explanation of an illness to the mother of a sick boy, give directions to a lost relative, or give a presentation to the American Society of Nephrology.
你不可能去真正“学习”语言,但你可以充分了解这门语言,帮助你实现如病患沟通、向患病男孩母亲讲述病情、处理善后事宜、或向“美国肾脏学会杂志”发表演讲。
I have since focused on teaching in particular departments, such as ENT, Gynaecologists, Paediatrics, or Dermatology.
此后,我侧重于某科室的英语教学,例如耳鼻喉科、妇产科、儿科或是皮肤科。
I have continued to use presentations, as they are integral to the life of a doctor.
我继续使用“演讲”方式教学,它是医生职业生涯中不可或缺的一部分。
My students give “talks” in the classes, later to be criticised by me for the linguistic content and by their peers for the scientific.
我让学生在课堂上进行发言,而后由我就语言问题发表看法,由同学们在内容上表达见解。
They learn from me about the use of the definite article, and I learn from them about“dermoscopy of pigmented facial lesions”.
他们向我学习了定冠词的使用方法,我向他们学习了“皮肤镜的皮肤损伤检查”。
