以上就是關(guān)于雅思聽力高頻詞匯中30個(gè)常用短語(yǔ)的全部信息,包括了漢語(yǔ)解釋。大家可以在備考雅思聽力詞匯的時(shí)候?qū)@些短語(yǔ)進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)挠洃?,以便更好的?yīng)對(duì)在雅思聽力考試中出現(xiàn)的相關(guān)場(chǎng)景。 雅思聽力詞匯主要集中在哪些生活場(chǎng)景?
生活場(chǎng)景(Survival Context)中,咨詢(Counseling),租房(Renting),旅游(Travelling),文化(Culture and Tradition),銀行(Banking),購(gòu)物(Shopping),會(huì)場(chǎng)(Conference),看病(Doctor‘s)和地圖(Map)為九大基本場(chǎng)景。
其中,租房和旅游劇情最為老套雅思聽力詞匯場(chǎng)景。一如韓?。耗兄鹘侵灰恍冶囟ㄊ洠鹘侵灰貌〔皇前┌Y就是白血病;雅思聽力只要是Renting,必定不離租金(rent)和設(shè)施(facilities),只要是Travelling,就跟線路價(jià)格(tour price)和交通工具(transportation)脫不了干系。
而后,文化場(chǎng)景是ESOL不定期推出的英吉利文化大餐,內(nèi)容涵蓋古香古色的老建筑(historic architecture),別具一格的小村鎮(zhèn)(towns and villages),妙趣橫生的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日(festivals),救苦救難的慈善機(jī)構(gòu)(charity),自得其樂的足球俱樂部(football club)。
另外,銀行,會(huì)場(chǎng),購(gòu)物和看病等非主流這類型的雅思聽力詞匯所專用的場(chǎng)景也會(huì)及時(shí)出現(xiàn),填補(bǔ)檔期空白。他們各有賣點(diǎn):銀行里賬戶各色明目(bank account);開會(huì)前議程小心安排(schedule and agenda);購(gòu)物時(shí)顧客精心挑選,店員殷勤推銷(goods and services),看病中患者鼻青臉腫(symptom),醫(yī)生妙手回春(therapy)。
咨詢和地圖場(chǎng)景最近大熱。其中地圖 08年9月份連續(xù)在6日和18日出現(xiàn),氣勢(shì)洶洶,內(nèi)容分別是校園(campus)和碼頭(port)布局,保持一貫風(fēng)格,但無甚大新意。反觀咨詢場(chǎng)景,不但主題新穎,而且情節(jié)跌宕,從保險(xiǎn)索賠(insurance claim),到轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)申請(qǐng)(school transfer),再到場(chǎng)館訂票(booking),不一而足。
應(yīng)該說,ESOL導(dǎo)演的雅思聽力詞匯所涉及的場(chǎng)景是繁多的,但總有桎梏。無論是嶄新的場(chǎng)景,還是老掉牙的場(chǎng)景,四大要素是必不少的,就是人物,時(shí)間,地點(diǎn)和事件:
人物即是人名(name),稱謂(title),和身份(identity e.g. tenant & landlord, customer &receptionist, patient & doctor);時(shí)間即是日期(date),星期(day),和時(shí)點(diǎn)(time);地點(diǎn)體現(xiàn)在地址(address),會(huì)址(site), 和目的地(destination)。
事件表現(xiàn)為各種橋段,如護(hù)照延期(passport extension),飲食偏好(dietary preference e.g. vegetarian)之于租房場(chǎng)景;住宿選擇(accommodation option),熱門景點(diǎn)(landmark e.g. Stonehenge)之于旅游場(chǎng)景;傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)(traditional activities),文化特色(cultural identity)之于文化場(chǎng)景;賬戶選擇(opening an account)之于銀行場(chǎng)景;商品特點(diǎn)(commodity features) 之于購(gòu)物場(chǎng)景;開具處方(prescription)之于看病場(chǎng)景;方位辨認(rèn)(orientation)之于地圖場(chǎng)。
