前言

　　我国的改革开放走过了三十余年的路程。这三十多年来，为了学习西方先进的科学技术和文化艺术，我国各行各业都在学习英语，甚至出现过全民学习英语的热潮。回顾这种大规模的英语教育，我们既有成功，也有失败。说成功，是因为很多人的英语水平获得了大幅提高；说失败，是因为英语学习的"费时低效"问题仍未得到很好的解决。　　今天，经过三十余年的发展，我们的国力雄厚了，国际地位提高了，我们的科学技术和文化艺术开始走出国门，走向世界。那么我们还需要学习英语吗？答案是肯定的。在经济全球化、文化多元化的背景下，我国与其他国家在政治、经济、科技、文艺等方面的交流日益频繁，而能担当这一国际交流工具的语言目前仍然只有英语。汉语要胜任这一角色或许还要再过三十年。因此，我们应该继续学习英语。但是，我们必须打破以应试为目标的英语教育模式，提倡"实用为主、够用为度"的原则，以培养学生实际应用语言的能力为目标，突出教学内容的实用性与针对性。同时根据不同专业和不同学科的具体要求，多层次、多渠道地开展英语教学，以适应社会对英语人才需求呈现多元化、专业化发展趋势的要求。　　人们常说语言是载体。我们学习其他学科的知识都要通过语言这个载体。换言之，科学技术、文化艺术等学科的专业知识既可以用汉语表述，又可以用英语表述。逆向思考一下，如果以科技、文化、艺术等为专业的人通过用英语表述的专业书籍来学习英语知识，那么他们的专业就成了学习英语的栽体。事实上，无论我们是用专业还是用日常生活作为内容来进行教学，只要表述的语言是英语，其基本的语言规则就是一样的，不同的只是运用的词汇和某些特定的表达方式而已。科技英语、经贸英语、法律英语等就是利用专业为载体来学习英语的实例。其优势是将各学科的专业内容和英语教学密切结合起来，让学生学习自己最熟悉、最感兴趣的话题，这样就能最大限度地激发学生的学习热情，从而获得最佳的学习效果，解决"费时低效"的问题。　　我很高兴看到华中科技大学出版社推出了《实用艺术英语教程》一书。该教材依据英语学习的特点和规律，有机地结合了文化艺术的专业内容，在注重打好英语语言基础的同时，侧重培养学生使用英语进行艺术类相关领域的涉外交际能力。教材内容丰富、体例新颖、语言难易适中，既有利于学生掌握基本的英语知识和技能，又有利于他们拓宽艺术视野、丰富艺术感受，不失为上乘的艺术类英语教材。而且这套教材也是利用艺术为载体来进行英语教学的极好尝试，值得祝贺！
