小时候爬树没少挨父母骂。可是现在苏州的学校居然要开设爬树课程了。

我们来看一段相关的英文报道

Two schools in Suzhou, Jiangsu province will include a tree-climbing curriculum in their PE classes starting from June. This decision reflects a new goal of helping students to learn outdoor survival skills.

Students in the two schools will learn tree-climbing skills with the help of coaches from Suzhou Mountaineering Association (SZMA), a club specializing in outdoor sports. The two schools will also offer outdoor training programs like Outward Bound with the help of SZMA.

The outdoor survival skills curriculum originated in the U.S. in the 1980s. Now, at least 1,000 U.S. schools offer the curriculum. Not only will it improve the students' survival skills, it will also enhance their confidence.

从今年六月起，江苏省苏州市的两所学校将会在体育课上开设爬树课程。这一决定体现了培养学生学习户外生存技能的目标。

这两所学校的学生将会在教练指导下学习爬树技能。这些教练来自专业户外运动俱乐部苏州登山协会。学校还会在苏州登山协会的帮助下，开设诸如户外拓展的户外训练项目。

户外生存技能课程起源于20世纪80年代的美国。现在，美国至少有1000所学校开设了此项课程。这些课程不仅会提高学生的生存技能，还能提高他们的自信。



【讲解】

文中的tree-climbing curriculum就是“爬树课程”的意思，其中curriculum用作名词，意为“课程，课程设置”，它的复数形式为curricula，常见的词汇搭配有：arrange the curriculum（安排课程）、rich curriculum（丰富的课程）、basic curriculum（基础课程）。

第二段中的动词短语specialize in意为“专攻；专门研究”，如：In fact, we specialize in the goods with a long history.（其实我们专营此项商品已有多年的历史了。）
