作为中国高中英语阅读教学的主流教学方法——翻译法,它的主导地位日益受到交际法的挑战。但作为传统的教学方法,翻译法的存在是历史的必然;是国情的需要。翻译法在高中英语阅读教学中存在着合理性,对高中英语阅读教学有促进作用。 As the mainstream teaching method of Chinese high school English reading teaching - the translation method, its dominance is increasingly challenged by the communicative approach. However, as a traditional teaching method, the existence of the law of translation is a historical inevitability; it is the need of the national conditions. The law of translation is reasonable in high school English reading teaching, which can promote high school English reading teaching.
