21. I've also travelled a bit, you know, off season when every where is less crowded and hotels cost less.
點(diǎn)睛
談到旅行時(shí)，常會(huì)談到旺季和淡季等相關(guān)內(nèi)容，本句中的off season（淡季）正是聽力的難點(diǎn)所在。off season除了指“旅游淡季”，還可以用于表示商業(yè)上的淡季、運(yùn)動(dòng)方面的停賽季等，也可以用low season表示“淡季”。與off/low season相對(duì)的則是peak/high season（旺季）。
考點(diǎn)歸納
聽力口語中與season相關(guān)的表達(dá)還有：
at seasons意為“時(shí)時(shí)，不時(shí)地”。如：
His wife loses temper at seasons just because of trivial matters. 他老婆常常因小事而發(fā)火。
come into season意為“上市”。如：
Grapes will soon come into season. 葡萄不久就會(huì)上市。
in season意為“正合時(shí)令；上市；及時(shí)”。如：
Watermelons are now in season. 西瓜現(xiàn)在正當(dāng)時(shí)令。
out of season意為“不合時(shí)宜；過了旺季；已經(jīng)下市”。如：
A good maxim is never out of season. 至理名言不會(huì)過時(shí)。
