本篇文章是關于食品短缺及食品安全類的話題，因為畢竟08年加沙地帶食品短缺和亞洲含三聚氰胺牛奶事件影響很大。但是相關詞匯不難，難詞如melamine等并沒有考到，因為這部分重點在于速記而不在詞匯。只有最后兩個 malnutrition 和 impairment 稍有難度。重點在于對速記的熟練使用。在新東方課堂上和考前串講中列舉的高頻詞多有考到。如and, you, most, experience, industrial, 等，其他詞匯大部分為對“音節法”和“頭尾法”這兩大基本方法的靈活應用。所以這部分題的技巧在于對考試高頻詞（通常為非常熟悉詞）的縮寫。我在新東方09年新版的《高級口譯考試筆試備考精要》一書中，對第一部分Spot Dictation的幾種考試必備的速記法的詳盡詮釋，可供大家參考。
