2012年P(guān)ETS三級聽力難點精講(2)
六、學(xué)生業(yè)余娛樂生活場景(看電影、看戲劇、獲獎、畢業(yè)打算、約會見面)
1. 看電影、看戲劇;
2. 聽說電影好、邀請看電影、電影沒意思、電影看不懂、電影真不值;
3. 邀請去看電影,一般都不會接受,主要的理由是因為學(xué)習(xí)的問題,然后再表達一下惋惜的心情,通常會用虛擬語氣;
4. 一方獲獎了,另一方贊揚、敬佩。
Let’s go watch the movie tonight.
Would you like to go to the movie with us tonight?
How about seeing the new movie at the theater tonight?
It’s a waste of time/money.
七、健康生活場景
1. 身體不舒適,需要看病;
2. 醫(yī)生忙,要耐心;
3. 有病要盡早去治療,否則要產(chǎn)生很多麻煩;
4. 吸煙對身體不好,要戒煙。
八、交通活動場景
1. 搭乘飛機旅行,首先要預(yù)定機票,經(jīng)常會遇到預(yù)定完畢(be booked up),因此只能推遲時間;有時因為無法到達機場,必須改機票(get ticket changed);
2. 經(jīng)常因為天氣原因(because of/due to the bad weather)或機械故障(mechanical problem)而導(dǎo)致航班延誤,需要等待進一步消息或通知(further notice);
3. 步行是一種鍛煉方式;騎自行車可以回避高峰,但車胎容易沒氣(flat tire);乘巴士方便,但中途容易出故障(break down);開車上班容易塞車(much traffic jam);坐火車可以看風(fēng)景(sightsee),但火車上食物不好,因此經(jīng)常選擇自己帶食物或提前吃;
4. 出現(xiàn)交通意外的原因一般是超速或者是躲避不及。
九、用餐場景

1. 兩人經(jīng)常會討論這個東西好不好,是不是健康食品;
2. 兩人經(jīng)常會討論去什么樣的餐館吃飯;
3. 出去吃飯,需要提前定位子;
4. 外出吃飯的原因主要是尋求安靜或想嘗試一下新口味;
5. 如果去一個比較豪華、精致的餐館,可能還會談到穿正式服裝(formal dress);
6. 如果兩個學(xué)生討論是出去吃飯還是學(xué)習(xí),最終選擇的一般是學(xué)習(xí)。
十、買賣活動場景
內(nèi)容主要包括:買家具、買房子、買書、買電視機、賣車等。
1. 經(jīng)常討論區(qū)去什么地方購物,什么地方東西便宜,品種多;
2. 說話的第一個人想買的貨品總是沒有的,有時第二人從應(yīng)答中會暗示第一人其他的解決方案;
