为了激发学生对工程力学课程的学习兴趣，改进教学效果，文章提出了生活背景实例教学法并进行了深入探讨。笔者的基本思路是以常见的生活现象来说明抽象的概念，通过浅显易懂的方式来传授知识。文章结合课程中的各概念详细介绍了可采用的生活背景实例。实践证明，生活背景实例教学法能引起学生的共鸣，加强教学中的思维和语言互动，达到加深理解、举一反三的效果，对课程培养目标的实现起到明显的促进作用。

In order to inspire the learning interest of students for ‘engineering mechanics’ course, life background examples method has been proposed and discussed in this paper to improve the teaching effect. In this method, familiar phenomena in daily life are utilized to explain the stuffy concepts. Knowledge can be delivered easily and expressly. Usable examples and their corresponding concepts in this course are introduced detailedly. It is proved by actual practice that life background examples method can activize the feedback of students effectively. Students are willing to draw inferences about other cases from one instance. Therefore, the interaction of idea and talk in teaching can be driven well and truly. The concepts can be understood better. Then the realization of training goal can be promoted evidently by employing this new method.
