She was awakened at 9 am by the alarm clock beside her bed and scrambled out of bed to head for her desk. She turned her computer on and began the day`s online lesson.
早上9点被床头闹钟叫醒后,她起身走到写字台前。打开电脑,她便开始了一天的网络课程学习。

Shi Liu`s a 22-year-old senior in accounting at Beijing Forestry University. She`s been taking the online course for two months. Shi wants to take the Certified Public Accountant exam next year and chose this course to prepare.
22岁的史柳是北京林业大学会计专业的一名大四学生。她选修网络课程已有两个月的时间了。史柳想来年参加注册会计师考试;为了应对这次考试,她选择了在线课程。

Why? “It`s different from the traditional course,” she said. “You need to control your time and discipline yourself very well. But it`s a convenient, efficient way to gain knowledge. And, it`s a new lifestyle for me.”
为何她要选择在线学习这种方式呢?“它与传统的课程截然不同。”她说。“你需要调控好自己的时间并严格要求自己。但这一收获知识的方法十分便捷有效。另外,这对我而言是一种崭新的生活方式。”

According to a China Youth Daily survey of 12,000 young people last September, more than 81 percent spend their spare time on the Internet, and 22 percent want to get something.
去年九月,《中国青年报》针对12000位年轻人所做的一项调查显示,超过81%的受访者业余时间是在网上度过的,其中22%的人表示希望在网上有所收获。

“It`s not only a way to gain knowledge to improve yourself, but also a way to slow down your pace of life,” explained Zhou Yunqing, a Wuhan University sociologist. “You have a wider platform from which to learn, with more freedom to decide when and what to learn.”
“这不仅是一条涉猎知识以达到自我进步的新途径,同时也是放慢生活节奏的一种方式。”武汉大学社会学家周云清解释说。“你有更宽广的学习平台,可以更加自由地决定学习的时间和内容。

Compared with the traditional classroom, it seems a shortcut to knowledge.
同传统的课堂相比,它看起来如同一条通往知识宝库的捷径。

“I attended real life classes, but soon found it difficult to continue,” said Shi. “I had to get up at 7 am every weekend, wait for a bus in the cold, and spend over an hour on the bus and subway. I became extremely tired after one month, and I was always sitting in the classroom with dark circles under my eyes and messy hair.”
“我曾修过现实的课程,但很快我便发现很难持之以恒。”史柳说。“周末我必须早上7点钟起床,在寒风中等公交车,要花费一个多小时来挤公车和地铁。一个月后我已精疲力尽,我常常挂着黑眼圈,披着凌乱的头发坐在教室里。”

After turning to the Internet for help, she found that learning could be relaxed and enjoyable. “I can arrange my study time freely. I can sit in my cozy chair in my pajamas, drinking a cup of juice, and watch the video,” Shi added.
在向网络求助后,她发现学习也可以轻松快乐起来。“我可以自由安排学习时间。我可以穿着睡衣窝在舒适的椅子上,一边喝着果汁,一边看着视频。”她补充说。

Is that disciplined enough? According to Zhou Zhi, 23, a Beijing music teacher who studied Japanese cooking online for a year, being relaxed does not necessarily mean inefficient: “It was a fruitful course.” In a real class, the teacher might waste time talking nonsense, Zhou says, but in the online learning materials, the teachers focus on the contents.
可这种方式拥有足够的约束力吗?放松并不意味着一无所获,23岁的周芝是北京的一名音乐教师,她曾在线修过一年的日式烹饪课程,她表示:“那是一门收获颇丰的课程。”在现实课堂中,老师可能会浪费时间讲一些有的没的,周芝表示,但在线学习资料中,老师们会将注意力集中在内容上。

Not only that, you can also stop and replay the clips you don`t understand at any time.
不仅如此,遇到不懂的片段,你还可以随时停止并回放。

“I always practice the cooking after watching a video. When I`m confused, I just stop it and look for more information on the Internet,” said Zhou. “It helps me to see things clearly.”
“我总是在看过视频后练习烹饪。但我感到困惑时,我只需要停下来去网上搜寻更多的信息。”周芝说。“它帮助我看清事物。”

Unlike the traditional courses, this is not necessarily a continuous process. “Students can get a lot from a video of a lecture given by a great teacher. It`s a sea of knowledge and it removes the time and space limit,” Zhou explained.
与传统课程不同,这并非一个连贯的过程。“通过名师的授课视频,学生们着实收获良多。这是一片知识的海洋,它消除了时间以及空间的限制。”周芝解释说。

“I like to watch videos of lectures on history,” said Luo Jingqing, 21, a junior at China Agricultural University. “Our university has no history classes. Now the Internet is helping me. Every video tells a wonderful story about history.”
“我喜欢看历史方面的授课视频。”中国农业大学大三学生,21岁的罗静青表示。“我们学校没有开设历史课程。现在网络可以给予我帮助。每一段视频都讲述了一个关于历史的精彩故事。”

Still, online learning is by no means perfect. True, there is a sea of materials on the Internet and some are useful, but some might lead you in the wrong direction, cautions Zhou. “You need to be cautious in selecting a course. It`s better to ask for help from seniors, or see the comments of netizens who have taken the course,” Zhou said.
不过,在线学习绝非尽善尽美。诚然,网上有着取之不竭的学习资料,一些的确让人受益无穷,但一些也许会误导你,周芝提醒说。“在选择课程时,你需要小心谨慎。最好向资深人士求助,或浏览修过该课程网友的留言。”周芝说。
