2018年12月英语六级翻译练习：英语学习

　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　英语已经越来越流行，在过去的十年。许多国家已经取得了英语作为授课学校的第二语言。但为什么学生需要英语?如果他们需要什么，他们需要它?

　　不同的学生学习英语的目的不同。大多数学生学习英语，因为他们需要读英语课本或刊物和参加英语演讲，而少数同学使用它来谈谈讲英语的游客，参加研讨会，或写信函及报告。

　　不管是什么目的是，有一件事是肯定的：学生需要英语，英语教学应在大学得到加强。然而，当前的教学方法应该改进和教材应更新，以满足他们的需求。

　　参考译文

　　English has been getting more and more popular in the last decade. Many countries have made English taught as the second language in schools. But why do students need English? If they do need, what do they need it for?

　　Different students learn English for different purposes. Most of the students learn English because they need to read English textbooks or journals and attend English lectures, while a few students use it to talk to English-speaking visitors, attend seminars, or write letters and reports.

　　Whatever the purposes are, one thing is certain: Students need English, and English teaching should be strengthened in universities. However, the current teaching methods should be improved and the teaching materials should be updated to satisfy their needs.
