以下段落是摘自新聞里的一些重要信息,并不是一個段落的聽寫.空內(nèi)信息可在本新聞中全部找到,大家可以根據(jù)這些信息復(fù)述新聞

一、泛聽建議：

1、完整聽一遍，掌握大意。

2、繼續(xù)聽，特別注意關(guān)鍵信息。遇到相似的詞，寫下來。

3、復(fù)述新聞。

From NPR news in Washington, I'm Lakshimi Singh.

這里是華盛頓的NPR新聞，我是拉克什米·辛格。

The job's picture _1_ to be much better than it was a month ago, even though, the unemployment rate has dropped to 8.1%.NPR's Steve Martin reports the decline _2_ to more people giving up their job search.

就業(yè)率和一個月前相比沒有好多少，甚至下跌8.1%。NPR的史蒂夫·馬丁報道說就業(yè)率下降的原因是更多的人放棄找工作。

When those without a job stop looking for work, they _3_ in the unemployment numbers. The Labor Department says more of them did that in August, _4_ the nation's jobless rate from 8.3%. Employers added 96,000 jobs and the economists including DanHerzang a micro advisors say that is far fewer than what's needed. It feels like things were turning around the big way, we have to sitch up growth and hire 100 or close to 200. Job gains sustained and that paste was certainly put the unemployment rate on the downward _5_.

當(dāng)那些失業(yè)的人停止找工作，他們將不被計入失業(yè)人數(shù)。美國勞工部說八月份更多的人這么做了，使得國家的失業(yè)率從8.3%往下降。盡管雇主增加了96000份工作，但經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們，包括經(jīng)濟(jì)顧問丹·赫芝認(rèn)為現(xiàn)有的遠(yuǎn)少于需要的。由此看上去經(jīng)濟(jì)會有大的轉(zhuǎn)變，我們不得不保證持續(xù)提供工作機(jī)會，雇傭100到200個人。就業(yè)持續(xù)增長，這種狀態(tài)會使失業(yè)率處于下降趨勢。

The economists say it's more likely the Federal Reserve will _6_ a healthier economy at it's meeting next week to try to help the economy at its meeting next week. Steve Marting, NPR news, Washington.

經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為在下周的會議上美聯(lián)儲很有可能會引導(dǎo)更健康的經(jīng)濟(jì)。史蒂夫·馬丁，NPR新聞，華盛頓。

Congressman Paul Ryan says another _7_ from the FED would be a bad idea. The Republican vice presidential nominee told CNBC the cost would outweigh the benefits and amount to a bail out for what he calls "bad fiscal policy". We are in light of the unemployment report jobs front and center in both presidential campaigns today.

國會議員保羅·賴安稱另一個美聯(lián)儲貨幣刺激不是一個好政策。共和黨副總統(tǒng)候選人在CNBC(美國全國廣播公司財經(jīng)頻道)上稱這一政策的花銷將大于所獲和保底金額，因此說它不是明智的財政政策。失業(yè)問題在今天的總統(tǒng)競選活動中是一個棘手問題。

詞匯解析：

1、sustain：vt. 維持;支撐，承擔(dān);忍受;供養(yǎng);證實(shí)

Every aircraft in there has sustained some damage.

那里的每架飛機(jī)都遭到了一些損壞。

2、front-and-center：焦點(diǎn)

One nice thing about this design is that it puts the XML data front-and-center.

這種設(shè)計的一個好處是將 XML 數(shù)據(jù)放在了核心位置。
