1、托福聽力材料表達方式有些 其實托福聽力如果能掌握一些好的經驗那么無論是對于托福聽力備考還是考試都很有幫助，今天給大家帶來托福聽力材料表達方式有哪些，希望能夠幫助到大家，下面就和大家分享，來欣賞一下吧。 時態的表達方式 漢語中用副詞表達時態，而英語中是用動詞的變形來表達時態的。中國考生一般都對時態缺乏敏感度，這是很正常的，這就像外國人很難掌握我們漢語中的聲調一樣。 在托福聽力中，尤其是在lecture(講座)中，我們要特別注意時態的變化。因為在托福的lecture文段開頭部分，教授常常會通過討論過去講的內容來引出本次講座的內容，或者討論過去的理論和觀點與當前的新理論和新觀點進行對比。如果不注意時

2、態，一股腦地聽下來，很容易會混淆lecture的主題，影響答題。 例如，托福.聽力中一篇lecture的開頭如下 Up until now in our discussions and readings about the broken early classical periods, weve been talking about the development of musical styles and genres within the relatively narrow social context of its patronage by the upper classes But I

3、 think if I were asked to identify a single crucial development in European music of this time, it would be the invention of the piano 這篇lecture主要講的是鋼琴的發明對西方音樂史的影響，教授在講座開頭回憶了上幾節課談到的出資人如何影響音樂家的創作風格。第一句中“weve been talking about”這樣的現在完成進行時，表明了教授在討論過去講過的內容。后面由表達轉折的“But”引導的用一般現在時講述的內容才是lecture的真正重心。 所以，如

4、果在托福聽力備考中能夠抓住時態的變化，我們就能更好地把握文段的結構和層次，將文章聽得更有調理。 否定含義的表達方式和雙重否定 在否定意義的表達上，漢語和英語的表述方式有比較大的差別。 我們來假設一個場景：媽媽讓小明吃菠菜補充營養，可是小明非常不喜歡菠菜的味道，于是小明對媽媽說：“媽媽，你別讓我吃了，我_菠菜了。” 如果根據場景，幫小明把話補全來表達對菠菜的厭惡和否定，那么漢語表達大概會是：“媽媽，你別讓我吃了，我最不喜歡菠菜來了。”否定的語氣會很直接的表達出來。 那么，美語的表達會是怎么樣的呢，大概會是：“Mommy, please, the last thing I would like t

5、o eat is spinach. ”是的，美國人會說他想吃的東西中的最后一個是菠菜。這個邏輯 _人來說是比較“曲折”的，但是我們必須適應，否則聽力中的某些關鍵句就會反應不出來到底是什么含義。 另外，雙重否定的形式在漢語的固定詞組中比較常用，如“不得不”、“無不”等等。但是雙重否定在英語中用得更為靈活，不單單以固定詞組的形式出現。 約定俗成的表達方式 在托福聽力中有很多約定俗成的表達方式，而且這些方式往往都是由簡單的單詞組成，非常容易望文生義。如果不知道這些表達方式的正確含義，以美式思維方式理解和記憶，就不能很好的理解聽力文段。 上面結合托福聽力說明了幾種表達的方式，這些大家在托福聽力備考中如

6、果能熟練掌握相信一定對大家的托福聽力能提供不小的幫助，希望各位能仔細斟酌。 At last months meeting you asked me to draw up a report about the possibility of keeping the student center open twenty-four hours a day. 在上個月的會議上你們要求我起草一個報告，關于保持學生中心每天24小時開放的可能性。 I decided that the best way to assess the need for expanded hours was to talk to t

7、he people who were still in the student center at closing time. 我判斷評估增加小時數的需求的最好方法是與在關閉時間依然在學生中心里面的人談談。 First, over the course of the two weeks, I interviewed more than fifty students as they left the student center at its regular closing time of twelve midnight. 首先，在過去兩周的進程中，我面談了超過五十名同學，當他們在通常的午夜12

8、點的關閉時間離開學生中心時。 About eighty percent of them said they would prefer that the center stay open later. 他們中的大約百分之八十說，他們更喜歡中心保持開放更晚些。 Of the three main uses of the centereating in the snack bar, recreation in the game room or watching TV, and studying by far the most popular late night activity isand thi

9、s may surprise youstudying. 中心的三大用途在快餐部吃東西，在娛樂室消遣或看電視，以及學習，目前為止最普遍的深夜活動是這也許會讓你們很驚訝學習。 Almost all of the people I talked to said that their main reason for being in the center after ten p.m. was to study in groups or to find a quiet place to study because their dorm was too noisy. 和我談過的幾乎所有的人都說，他們晚上1

10、0點之后呆在中心的主要原因是小組學習或者是找一個安靜的地方學習，因為他們的宿舍太喧鬧了。 Of course, many of these people used the snack bar or TV room for breaks. 當然，許多這些人使用快餐部或者電視房來休息。 My remendation is that we ask the administration to keep the center open after midnight for studying. 我的建議是我們要求管理部門在午夜后保持中心開放用來學習。 The recreation room and sna

11、ck bar can still close at the usual time. 娛樂室和快餐部依舊在通常的時間關閉。 This should meet the objection that it costs too much to staff the center from midnight to eight a.m., which Im sure will be the first response. 這應該符合異議，就是從午夜到上午8點給中心配備工作人員成本太高，這點我肯定會是第一個反應。 These days we take for granted the wide variety

12、of music available on the radio. 一直以來我們理所當然地認為在廣播里可得到廣泛的，多種多樣的音樂。 But, this wasnt always the case. 但是，這并非總是如此。 In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didnt sound very good. 在無線電廣播的早期，電臺只能夠廣播狹窄

13、范圍的聲音，這對人類聲音來說還行，但是音樂聽起來不是很好。 There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound. 還有許多噼里啪啦聲和其他靜電噪聲進一步干擾了聲音的質量。 A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. 一個名叫Edwin Armstrong，這人是個音樂愛好者，打算改變這事。 He inve

14、nted FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music. 他發明了調頻廣播，一種允許電臺發送寬廣范圍頻率的技術，極大地提升了音樂的質量。 Now, youd think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didnt. 那么，你可能會認為這會使他成為百萬富翁，它(調頻廣播技術)沒有。 Radio stations at tha

15、t time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. 那時的廣播電臺已經在舊的科技上投資了龐大的金額。 So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. 所以他們最不想做的事就是去在新科技上多投資數百萬。 Nor did they want to have to pete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put

16、 them out of business. 他們也不想同其他有優質聲音的，能讓他們破產的廣播電臺競爭。 So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission, the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations, to put restrictive regulations on FM radio. 所以他們施壓給聯邦通信委員會，美國政府管理廣播電臺的部門，在調頻廣播上施加限制性的規則。 The result was that its

17、 use was limited to a very small area around New England. 結果是它的使用被限制在New England周圍很小的區域。 Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrongs FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations around the world. 當然，正如我們所知，Edwin Armstrong的調頻技術最終獲勝了，并且被全世界成千上萬的電臺采用了。 But this took years

18、of court battles and he never saw how it came to affect the lives of almost everyone. 但這打了多年的官司，而且他從來都沒見到它(調頻技術)如何來影響幾乎每一個人的生活。 Im going to talk about a train that exemplifies the rise and fall of passenger trains in the United States: the Twentieth Century Limited. 我將要談談作為美國客運列車興衰的例證的一列火車：二十世紀高級快車。

19、 Let me go back just a bit. 讓我來回顧一下下。 In 1893, a special train was established to take people from New York to an exposition in Chicago. 在1893年，一列專列被設立，載人從紐約去芝加哥的一個博覽會。 It was so suessful that regular service was then set up between these cities. 這事是如此的成功以至于定期的(客運)服務然后就在這些城市間建立了。 The inaugural trip

20、of the Twentieth Century Limited was made in 1902. 二十世紀高級快車的首次旅行被安排在1902年。 The train was different from what anyone had ever seen before. 這個列車同之前任何人見到的都不一樣。 It was pulled by a steam engine and had five cars: two sleepers, a dining car, an observation car, and a baggage car, which, believe it or not, contained a library. 它由蒸汽機(車)牽引，并且有五節車廂：兩節臥鋪(車)，一節餐車，一節瞭望車，和一節行李車，那個(火車)，不管你信不信，包含了一個圖書館。 The 42 passengers the
