本篇文章是与数学学习有关的，属于科普知识。慢速英语，语速正常。可以作为口译入门或基础英语听力口语听写的素材。大家快来挑战自己吧！
The following 10 rules which are based on decades of research aim to demonstrate that the standard way to teach children math is counterproductive,
以下是基于数十年研究的10条法则，旨在证明当下教孩子数学的标准方法是适得其反的，
because it focuses on symbols to be able to think mathematically however means not to think in symbols, but to learn to think in relationships.
因为这些方法侧重于符号，然而具备一定程度的数学思维能力，意味着我们要思考的不是符号，而是其中的关系。
Math can’t be taught, just like we can’t learn ping pong from watching videos.
数学不是教会的，就像我们不能靠看录像来学习乒乓球一样。
Children can’t learn math from reading textbooks or listening to a teacher.
孩子们也不能通过阅读课本或听老师讲课来学习数学。
Instead they learn math by doing math ideally with real objects.
相反，他们要通过具体的物体来做练习，学习数学。
Because only when they do the math, relationships are constructed right where math happens in their heads.
因为只有做练习的时候，数学关系才会在他们头脑中相应的区域建立起来。
It happens in the head, whatever is on paper is merely a representation of mathematical thinking that happens in the brain just like musical notes.
数学是在头脑中思考而成的，无论纸上写的是什么，都只是数学思维的一种呈现方式，像音符一样。
What is on paper is just a representation of music that actually happens when someone plays the piano.
乐谱只是音乐的呈现形式，真正的音乐是由音乐家演奏出来的。
To be a good musician, it’s not enough to be able to read the notes, we also need to practice a lot.
要成为一名优秀的音乐家，只会读谱是不够的，我们还需要大量的练习。
The same is true for math, which is why practicing mental arithmetic is so important.
数学也是如此，这就是为什么练习心算如此重要。
解析在这里哦！
1. counterproductive，形容词，表示“产生相反结果的”，比如：In practice, however, such an attitude is counterproductive.（然而在实际中，这种态度会适得其反。）
2. mathematically，副词，表示“数学上地”，比如：Anyone can be an astrologer as long as they are mathematically minded.（任何人都可能成为占星家，只要他们具有数学头脑。）
3. musician，名词，表示“音乐家”，比如：He was a brilliant musician.（他曾是一位出色的音乐家。）
4. arithmetic，名词，表示“算术”，比如：They will concentrate on teaching the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic.（他们将重点教授阅读、写作和算术的基本要点。）
