托福聽力出來混,lecture重實(shí)力,conversation重理解。難道lecture不用理解就可以么?其實(shí)也不是這樣,lecture也重理解,但是conversation與lecture相比較,我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),conversation總是會(huì)考一些語言當(dāng)中的隱藏含義!這也就是我們平時(shí)常說的弦外之音!其實(shí)很多考友之所以lecture幾乎不錯(cuò),但是在conversation總是錯(cuò)1-2個(gè),就是因?yàn)閷?duì)于弦外之音的理解不是特別的到位。
比如說我們可以看新托福突破口TPO1的第一個(gè)conversation的第四題:
What can be inferred about why the woman decides to use the computer in the library?
(A)She thinks she might need additional help from the man
(B)She does not have a computer at home
(C)She has to hand in her assignment by the end of the day
(D)She will be meeting a friend in the library later on
我們?cè)賮砜匆幌略?/p>
WOMAN:
Right, abstracts! They'll definitely make the project more durable. I guess I should try out the electronic search while I'm still here then, you know, just in case.
MAN:
Sure, er… that computer's free over there, and I'll be here till five this afternoon.
WOMAN:
Thanks, I feel a lot better about this assignment now.
這個(gè)女的為什么要在圖書館用一下電腦來查資料呢?答案就在這個(gè)女性的第一段話:“Right, abstracts! They'll definitely make the project more durable. I guess I should try out the electronic search while I'm still here then, you know, just in case.對(duì)!簡介!他們將會(huì)使這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的生命力更強(qiáng)!我猜我應(yīng)該試試信息化的搜索方式,我等一會(huì)在那邊的時(shí)候可以試一下,你知道的,以防萬一嗎!”
這里解題的核心就是在于最后的just in case以防萬一。換句話說,這位女同學(xué)是害怕自己回到宿舍之后,不會(huì)使用電腦查圖書館資料,因此先在圖書館的電腦上試一下,如果有不懂的地方就讓圖書館的這位帥哥教她一下。因此,本題的正確答案是AShe thinks she might need additional help from the man.她認(rèn)為她或許需要這位帥哥的額外的幫助。
這就是所謂的弦外之音,如果lecture幾乎不錯(cuò),但是托福聽力conversation總是會(huì)錯(cuò)1-2題的話,就是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)弦外之音,也就是我們要聽出說話人的潛臺(tái)詞。
