短對話分析-場景制勝
來源:文都四六級命題研究中心 (文都 徐可風)
總體上,本次四級考試的短對話語句并不長,所牽涉到的詞匯多屬于歷年真題中反復考到過的重要場景詞,所以總體難度上與往屆考試基本持平。一言以蔽之,短對話的制勝之道在于“場景”。尤其是文都課堂上我們反復提到的??紙鼍啊O旅媾e幾個這次四級真題的例子。
一、車站場景
11. W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?
M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
點評:涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯,如bus schedule,ticket window,這些在文都聽力課堂上都反復提到。
二、趕車/飛機場景
13. W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.
M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.
Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?
點評:涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯,如Airport,take the fastest way并不陌生。
三、就餐場景
14. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.
M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it.

點評:涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯,如seafood,make a recommendation。
四、應聘招聘場景
15. W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?
M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.
Q: What do we learn about the man?
點評:涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯,如position in the company,the position of sales manager,vacant在文都課堂上都提到過。
五、天氣場景
18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it?

Q:What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?
點評:涉及到解題的重點場景詞匯,如the weather was cooperative,picnic。
一言以蔽之,對“場景”的掌握程度,決定著短對話的分數(shù)。(文都 徐可風)
