新视野大学英语1课文翻译如下：
Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.
学习外语是我一生中最困难也是最有收获的经历之一。虽然有时，学习一门语言是令人沮丧的，但这是值得的努力。
My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.
我学习外语的经历始于初中，那时我上了第一堂英语课。我有一位善良耐心的老师，他经常表扬所有的学生。
Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.
因为这种积极的方法，我热切地回答了我能回答的所有问题，从不担心犯错误。两年来我一直在班上名列前茅。
When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before.
当我上高中的时候，我渴望继续学习英语，然而，我在高中的经历与以前大不相同。
While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!"
虽然我以前的老师对所有的学生都很耐心，但我的新老师很快就惩罚了那些回答错误的学生。每当我们回答不正确时，她就用一根长棍指着我们，上下摇晃着，喊道：“不!不!不!”
It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.
没过多久我就失去了回答问题的渴望。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且完全失去了用英语说任何东西的欲望。
