引言

随着全球经济一体化的迅猛发展,中国日渐融入全球经济分工并逐步深度参与到全球治理体系的建构。在此背景下,涉外警务早已经由单一的出入境事务管理扩展到社会的各个方面,客观上也对中国的警务人才提出了更高要求,警务英语的重要性也正在被越来越多的人所认识。我院于2013年在全国公安院校中率先开办了英语(国际警务方向)专业。但相对大学英语而言,警务英语课程开设较晚,未形成比较完善的课程体系,与涉外警务人才的培养标准及客观需求存在较大差距。围绕警察院校培养应用型的高素质警务人才目标,警务英语课程就必须把贴近实战作为教学的重点,强调教学内容和教学活动的真实性和实战性,从而突出学以致用的基本原则。

一、实战型教学法的應用

在实战型教学法原则的指导下,警务英语教学尤其应该突出教学内容与学生今后工作实际的紧密结合。以下以警务英语阅读与翻译能力培养为例:[1]

The major functions of the police are: (1) order maintenance (the peacekeeper role); (2) social service (the social worker role); and (3) law enforcement (the crime fighter role).

Order Maintenance: The Peacekeeper Role

Students are frequently surprised to learn how much of police work involves activities we refer to as order maintenance. This is the peacekeeper role of the police. Yet maintaining social order in the community consumes a large part of a patrol officers time and energy. When citizens call the police for help, quite often they are calling not so the police can stop a crime in progress, but to intervene in a situation that is out of order.

Social Service: The Social Worker Role

The second major function of the police is social service. Historically, the police were given responsibility for rendering aid and assistance directly to the people largely; they were the only public agency open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, to take care of immediate problems.

Law Enforcement: The Crime Fighter Role

The third major function of the police is law enforcement, thus casting police officers into their most familiar role as crime fighters. Examples of law enforcement activities would include: responding to crimes in progress (burglary, robbery, rape, assault, and so on); taking a report from a crime victim; investigating a crime; checking out a prowler; questioning a suspect; making an arrest.

上述材料选自西方国家学者对于现代国家中警察职能的论述,对于学生在课堂上了解中国警察的作用与定位亦有可借鉴之处。笔者在教学中以该材料为任务,首先设计以下若干阅读理解问题:

1. Discuss the major roles of the police.

2. Whats your opinion about the social worker role?

3. How do you understand the crime fighter role of the police?

4. Do we need the police? Why or why not?

5. Does the order in which the three roles are listed presume their relative importance to the society?

其次,在学生充分理解文意的基础上,要求其将该文译成中文。用翻译的方法对文章和结构复杂长句进行深入透彻的分析,译成中文能帮助学生更好地理解语言现象,更准确地把握整篇文章要义。[2]

结语

为更好适应当前国际执法安全合作日益深化的新形势,广大英语教师应大胆改革警务英语教学理念,强化理论与实践相结合,积极引导和激发学生去主动思考、交流、实践,探索实施实战型警务英语教学的新模式、新思路、新方法。(注:本文为湖北警官学院2014年院级教学研究项目“公安院校学生警务英语应用能力培养”研究成果之一)
