Minus-- less, plus-- in addition, up 2--means maximum, down 2 -- minimum, approximately-- this is my sign, it means not equal, but close to, so approximately.
“-”表示減少，“+”表示增加，向上的箭頭加2表示最大量，向下的箭頭加2表示最小量，“大約”——這是我的符號(hào)，意思是不等于但相近，所以就是大約。
Greater than -- A is more than B, less than, equal, with something, without something.
“比......大”——A比B多，這些分別是：“少于”，“相等”，“有......”，“沒(méi)有......”。
H2O. What is "H2O"? You dink it every day. Water.
H2O，什么是H2O？你們每天都喝的東西——水。
Any little code that you can use to help you write things quickly and remember things quickly, especially things like this...
任何你們能用來(lái)幫助自己快速寫下和記住信息的小符號(hào)都可以，尤其是像這樣的......
There's...TOEFL for some reason loves science things, they love science lectures, they love science articles.
不知道為什么，托福考試特別喜歡出科學(xué)類的題目，他們喜歡科學(xué)講座、科學(xué)文獻(xiàn)。
Be very comfortable with those because you're going to see a lot of them, okay?
熟悉這些體裁的內(nèi)容，因?yàn)槟銈儠?huì)看見(jiàn)很多這類文章的。
Now, the next thing we're going to look at is abbreviations, which are just as important as the codes.
下面我們要學(xué)習(xí)的是縮寫詞，這和符號(hào)一樣重要。
And again, something that you're going to have to practice and work on, but I'll give you a little bit of a sample to get you started.
而且也是你們要練習(xí)和努力學(xué)習(xí)的東西，不過(guò)我會(huì)講一些示例給你們起個(gè)頭。
Okay. So now we get into the area where it's really more up to you to create your own master list and practice it and study it,
現(xiàn)在我們要講的這個(gè)部分是真的由你們自己設(shè)計(jì)出個(gè)人專屬的總清單，并且要不斷練習(xí)和學(xué)習(xí)，
so on test day you can use it and not have any problems.
這樣考試當(dāng)天你們就能輕輕松松地用上它。
We're looking at abbreviations, an "abbreviation" means taking a word and squeezing it, making it shorter.
我們?cè)谥v的是縮寫，“縮寫”的意思是拿出一個(gè)單詞，把它擠一擠變得更短。
So the abbreviation for abbreviation is "abbr." Okay? Abbreviation.
abbreviation這個(gè)單詞的縮寫形式就是"abbr."，取了abbreviation的前四個(gè)字母。
The most important thing to remember is that you must remember what "abbr." means.
最重要的事情是，你們一定要記住"abbr."是什么意思。
If I see "abbr." in any document, I will automatically understand this means "abbreviation".
不論在哪個(gè)文件中看見(jiàn)了"abbr."，我都會(huì)自動(dòng)明白這是“縮寫”的意思。
Some of these are very common, everybody uses them, some of them, you will have to make your own, and I'll show you how to do that as well.
這些中有的縮寫形式很常見(jiàn)，每個(gè)人都會(huì)用，但有些你們要自己想出來(lái)，我也會(huì)告訴你們?cè)趺醋龅摹?/div>
So for example, you have to be careful sometimes, you have to make yourself little changes, like with a dot.
比如，你們有時(shí)候必須小心，要自己做一些小改動(dòng)，像用個(gè)點(diǎn)什么的。
So "inc." if I have only "inc" without a dot, I understand "increase".
比如說(shuō)"inc."，如果我看見(jiàn)的沒(méi)有點(diǎn)，只是"inc", 我會(huì)把它理解成"increase"的縮寫。
Okay? If I see "inc." with a dot, I understand "incorporate". Okay?
如果我看見(jiàn)的是帶點(diǎn)的"inc."，那我就會(huì)把它理解成"incorporate"。
