聽力綜合能力提高—— Day22
聽力文本對照

聽力片段一：

For one thing, I just do not do uniforms.And for another, deciding what words are good and what words are bad is actually not very easy.And it's not very fun. And when parts of your job are not easy or fun,you kind of look for an excuse not to do them.So if I had to think of some kind of occupation as a metaphor for my work, I would much rather be a fisherman.I want to throw my big net into the deep, blue ocean of Englishand see what marvelous creatures I can drag up from the bottom.

知識點1:詞匯表達
1. For one thing….for another
2. occupation /ˌɑː.kjəˈpeɪ.ʃən/ n.職業
3. metaphor/ˈmet̬.ə.fɔːr/n.比喻
4. marvelous/ˈmɑr•və•ləs/ adj.特別棒的
5. creature/ˈkriː.tʃɚ/n. 生物

知識點2:重音節奏
1. 對比詞會重讀
1) For one thing….And for another這是一個對比詞
2) deciding what words are goodand what words are bad is actually not very easy 表達中good和bad是對比詞。然后easy 形容詞而且又在句尾所有放慢語速，重讀。后面It’s not very fun. 同樣的道理。Fun是內容詞，又再句尾，要重讀。

2. 狀語從句前面沒說完，經常會語調上揚，但是這個不是絕對。
And when parts of your job are not easy or fun（上揚）,you kind of look for an excuse not to do them（聲音拉長）.

備注：重讀的三種方式（音量升高，音調上揚，語速放慢聲音拉長）

3. 在聽到的句子中，重讀的名詞，一定要重視，因為這一定是表達內容的核心詞。

So if I had to think of some kind of occupation as a metaphor for my work, I would much rather be a fisherman.就算只聽到這三個單詞，也能知道整句話的意思。

聽力片段二：

But why do people want me to direct traffic, when I would much rather go fishing?Well, I blame the Queen. Why do I blame the Queen?Well, first of all, I blame the Queen because it's funny.But secondly, I blame the Queen because dictionaries have really not changed.Our idea of what a dictionary is has not changed since her reign.The only thing that Queen Victoria would not be amused by in modern dictionariesis our inclusion of the F-word, which has happened in American dictionaries since 1965.

知識點1:詞匯表達
reign /reɪn/ n.統治
inclusion /ɪnˈkluː.ʒən/n.包括


知識點2:邏輯和發音
1. but 說完but 很多時候都會間斷一下，給聽者一個思考的小空間。而且but是一個非常重要的轉折邏輯詞，一定要非常注意。

2.first of all出現，一定在腦海中要知道后面會有secondly 第二，但是無法確定有沒有第三…

3. 意群的聽力劃分。意群是意思的最小表達單位。意群英語叫thought groups.就可以知道是詞匯群體的組合，表達一個整體的意思。

例：Our idea of what a dictionary is has not changed since her reign.
第一個意群：our idea of what a dictionary is ….
第二個意群：has not changed…
第三個意群：since her reign

另外注意：在最后一個單詞，一般都會放慢語速。所以reign尤其突出。


聽力片段三：

So, there's this guy, right? Victorian era.James Murray, first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.I do not have that hat. I wish I had that hat.So he's really responsible for a lot of what we consider modern in dictionaries today.When a guy who looks like that, in that hat, is the face of modernity, you have a problem.And so, James Murray could get a job on any dictionary today.There'd be virtually no learning curve.


知識點:邏輯

When a guy who looks like that, in that hat, is the face of modernity, you have a problem.

1) 定語從句：who looks like that
2) 插入語：in that hat
3) 狀語從句部分的主謂賓：When a guy is the face of modernity
4) 真正主句：you have a problem. 而且陳述句結尾，語調下降。
