同學(xué)們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)雅思聽力的過程中，在浩如煙海的參考書和模擬題的分析中，“同義轉(zhuǎn)換”恐怕是出現(xiàn)頻率最高的詞之一了。那么，究竟什么是同義轉(zhuǎn)換? 哪些地方會(huì)出現(xiàn)同義轉(zhuǎn)換? 同義轉(zhuǎn)換會(huì)以什么樣的形式出現(xiàn)?

在這里，我們就以劍橋真題上的例題為例，讓同學(xué)們對(duì)同義轉(zhuǎn)換有一個(gè)清晰的了解與把握，從而掃除同義轉(zhuǎn)換在雅思聽力中給我們?cè)斐傻恼系K。

所謂同義轉(zhuǎn)換，從科學(xué)意義解釋，是指人的視覺和聽覺將事物的信號(hào)傳遞給大腦，大腦將信號(hào)處理后，再轉(zhuǎn)換與原信號(hào)意義相同的另類信號(hào)和指令。而在雅思聽力中，原信號(hào)就是試卷上我們能夠看到的信息，也就是題干，而轉(zhuǎn)換過后的另類信號(hào)就是錄音中出現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵詞和答案，我們的大腦需要做的，就是將原信號(hào)和轉(zhuǎn)換后的另類信號(hào)進(jìn)行識(shí)別和匹配，就像做搭配(matching)題一樣。

在選擇題中，同義轉(zhuǎn)換隨處可見。題干，正確選項(xiàng)和干擾項(xiàng)都有可能出現(xiàn)同義轉(zhuǎn)換。尤其是選項(xiàng)中，無論是正確選項(xiàng)中還是干擾項(xiàng)中，都常常出現(xiàn)同義轉(zhuǎn)換。

如劍7Test2 Section4中的Question32

題目
32 Anita feels that the findings on handedness will be of value in
A helping sportspeople identify their weaknesses
B aiding sportspeople as they plan tactics for each game
C developing suitable training programmes for sportspeople

原文
I think Matthew’s findings will be beneficial, not so much in helping sportspeople to work on their weaker side, but more that they can help them identify the most suitable strategies to use in a given game.

在聽力原文中，題干里的be of value變成了be beneficial， tactics變成了strategies.

而正確答案B中的aid被替換成了help. 同時(shí)，對(duì)于干擾項(xiàng)A中的weaknesses這個(gè)單詞，答案中也出現(xiàn)了一些相關(guān)的可互相替換的信息，如weaker side，但A選項(xiàng)的整體意思和聽力原文中的表述不符，這也就是A選項(xiàng)的干擾點(diǎn)所在。

題目

原文

聽力原文中，the impressive size被替換成了the sheer volume，而關(guān)鍵詞research project也被替換成了observation and investigation.
