原文地址:一些英语学习网站(大家可有选择的逛逛)作者:把英语当成爱好
1. 视频和播客杂志(blog.makezine.com/podcast ):有很多适合周末自己动手的项目,有的很生猛,有的很诙谐。
2. 奥威尔日记(orwelldiaries.wordpress.com) :以博客形式连载乔治·奥威尔(译注:英国左翼作家,新闻记者和社会评论家。主要作品有《动物农场》、《一九八四》)日记,涉及其个人生活和政治观点。日记距今约有70年了。
3. iTunes (apple.com/itunes):网站上所有的东西都是免费的,最令人惊喜的是它居然提供世界上最享有盛誉的学术机构的讲座录音(耶鲁大学, 纽约现代艺术博物馆, 牛津大学, 泰特美术馆)。
4. 诡秘地图(atlasobscura.com) :恐怖的非寻常之地,它也无意成为传统的旅游指南书。
5.科学知识问答 (howstuffworks.com): 网站创始人马歇尔‧布雷恩(Marshall Brain),旨在用通俗易懂的文章和视频解释每一个科学知识,从基因编码到汽车变速器问题。
6. 不管是想了解阿尔巴尼亚语,还是踏踏实实地地想学一门语言,你都不能错过BBC语言课堂(bbc.co.uk/languages)
7. 国家地理(nationalgeographic.com) :大量神奇的摄影图片,以及很多关于宇宙,环境,动物甚至音乐的哲理文章。
8. 史密森尼百科全书 (si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI):不是一本大型综合类百科全书。它主要是为艺术和动物两大门类提供详细资料。
。
9. 名校视频课程(academicearth.org) :来自常青藤大学联盟和西海岸名校的免费视频课程,无需支付 $75,000 (£45,000) 的学费。
10. 生活百科全书 (eol.org) :正在进行中的伟大工程。他们希望为每个已知物种建立一份科学档案。目前他们已经为16万多个物种成功创建了网上档案。
11. 论坛视频讲座 (fora.tv) :收集了大量公共活动和学术研讨会的视频讲座,从艾丽西娅·西尔维斯通(译注:好莱坞女明星)在书店讨论素食主义到诺姆·乔姆斯基(译注:麻省理工学院语言学的荣誉退休教授。其《生成语法》被认为是20世纪理论语言学研究上最伟大的贡献。)在加州联邦俱乐部发表关于语言的演讲。
12. 明天我看什么书呢? (whatshouldireadnext.com) :分析你最近读过的一本书,推荐你感兴趣的书,值得一试呀,权当娱乐。
13. 现在就兴奋吧 (gethighnow.com) :这可不是什么贩卖不良药品的网上商店。它可是一家出色的科学网站,负责解答视觉和听觉幻觉方面的问题。
14. 心理牙线 (mentalfloss.com):网站上充满了各种清单和琐事,深受一般知识爱好者和高新技术迷的热捧。
15. 奇怪的地图(strangemaps.wordpress.com) :收集各种稀奇古怪的地图,比如美国距离麦当劳餐厅最远的地方。
16. Issuu (issuu.com) :网上杂志出版社。你可以很方便地创建一本诸如Urb的非主流音乐杂志,Teen Piano那样的小众出版物(封面主题:老师居然也这样认为。)
There are a wealth of websites that assist and promote outside the classroom Photo: PA
1. Make magazine’s videos and podcasts (blog.makezine.com/podcast) have dozens of weekend projects, some macho, some crafty, for the DIY-minded.
2. The Orwell Diaries (orwelldiaries.wordpress.com) publish George Orwell’s domestic and political diaries as a blog, exactly 70 years after they were originally written.
3. Everything on iTunes (apple.com/itunes) is free, amazing given that it offers recordings of lectures from some of the world’s most venerable institutions (Yale, Moma, Oxford, Tate).
4. The Atlas Obscura (atlasobscura.com) is a compendium of eccentric places, with an accent on the macabre, that won’t make it into traditional travel guides.
5. How Stuff Works (howstuffworks.com), the creation of one Marshall Brain, aims to explain everything from DNA coding to car transmission problems in simple articles and videos.
6. Whether for learning essential phrases in Albanian, or taking up a language more seriously, BBC Language (bbc.co.uk/languages) can’t be beaten.
7. The National Geographic (nationalgeographic.com) is full of startling photography and mind-expanding writing on space, the environment, animals, even world music.
8. The Encyclopedia Smithsonian (si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI) doesn’t aim for comprehensiveness, but its idiosyncratic pages, on subjects as diverse as aeronautics and zoology, are high-quality stuff.
9. Academic Earth (academicearth.org) presents video lectures from Ivy League universities and their west coast equivalents without the $75,000 (£45,000) fees.
10. The Encyclopedia of Life (eol.org) is a giant work in progress: the idea is to generate a page on every species known to science; they’ve got more than 160,000 already.
11. Fora.tv (fora.tv) amasses video from public events and colloquia, from Alicia Silverstone talking about veganism at a bookshop to Noam Chomsky on language at the Commonwealth Club.
12. What Should I Read Next? (whatshouldireadnext.com) suggests ideas for books you should read based on whatever you read last. Entertaining, if hit-and-miss.
13. Get High Now (gethighnow.com) isn’t an outlet for dubious internet pharmaceuticals. Rather, it’s a brilliantly designed (or disguised) science site, explaining optical and audio illusions.
14. Mental Floss (mentalfloss.com), full of lists and trivia, will please both the pub-quiz general knowledge aficionado and the more sophisticated science junkie.
15. Strange Maps (strangemaps.wordpress.com) collects cartographic curiosities, mapping things like the place in the United States farthest from a McDonald’s.
16. Issuu (issuu.com) is a hub for online magazine publication. You get slick indie music mags like Urb, and niche publications like Teen Piano (coverline: ‘What your teacher actually thinks’). |
