以下段落是摘自新聞里的一些重要信息,并不是一個(gè)段落的聽(tīng)寫(xiě)。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(tīng)建議：

1、完整聽(tīng)一遍，掌握大意。

2、繼續(xù)聽(tīng)，特別注意關(guān)鍵信息。遇到相似的詞，寫(xiě)下來(lái)。

Weaker-than-expected job growth in December _1_ questions about whether the economy is as strong as previously thought. As NPR's John Ydstie explains lots of economists are actually skeptical of the government's December unemployment report accurately reflects what's happening.

12月的就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)低于預(yù)期，人們開(kāi)始質(zhì)疑經(jīng)濟(jì)是否像之前預(yù)期的那樣強(qiáng)勁。據(jù)NPR新聞的約翰·約斯蒂報(bào)道，實(shí)際上對(duì)政府失業(yè)報(bào)告是否正確反映出目前的經(jīng)濟(jì)現(xiàn)狀這一問(wèn)題，許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家持懷疑態(tài)度。

The government survey of employers found just _2_ jobs were added to the economy in December, that's _3_ expectations and far below the trend of the past year. Moody's analytics chief economist Mark Zandi thinks the December report is a statistical aberration.

政府對(duì)雇主的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，12月新增工作崗位只有7.4萬(wàn)個(gè)，這遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于預(yù)期，同時(shí)也遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于去年的水平。穆迪分析公司的首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家馬克·贊迪認(rèn)為，12月份的報(bào)告存在統(tǒng)計(jì)偏差。

"It doesn't represent reality. It's not consistent with any of the other economic data that we've got which shows a better economy."

“這并沒(méi)有反映出實(shí)際情況。這份報(bào)告與其他經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)不相符，其他經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)均表明經(jīng)濟(jì)在逐漸復(fù)蘇。”

That data includes low first-time claims for unemployment, _4_ consumer optimism. Survey shows businesses anticipate hiring more workers and strengthening housing market. Many economists think December's job growth number will _5_ upward in the coming month. John Ydstie , NPR News, Washington.

那些數(shù)據(jù)包括首次申領(lǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)金人數(shù)下降，消費(fèi)者樂(lè)觀態(tài)度日益增加。調(diào)查顯示，企業(yè)期望雇傭更多職員，房市也將加強(qiáng)。許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為，下個(gè)月將對(duì)12月份的就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)數(shù)據(jù)向上修正。NPR新聞，約翰·約斯蒂華盛頓報(bào)道。
