Cots for Baby劍橋雅思5-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Cots for Baby聽力原文：

Hello and welcome to today’s‘Buyer Beware’programme,where we give you some tips on how to spend your money wisely.

Now,in today's show we're looking at beds for children and babies.

Let's start by looking at baby cots,that's for children of up to three years old.

We tested three different cots all in the budget price range and,as usual,we will feature the good points,the problems and our verdict.

The first cot we looked at was by Baby Safe and it had several good points to recommend it.

Our testers liked the fact that it had four wheels,so it was easy to move around.

The only slight problems with this cot were that it had no brakes,but they didn't think that mattered too much.

At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar,because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it,but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of‘satisfactory’.

The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together-unlike others we looked at.

On the minus side,our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down,making it difficult to pick up newborn babies.

However,the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars;

our testers found they were too wide and a baby could easily trap his head.

We felt this was a real safety hazard and so we have labelled this one dangerous,I'm afraid.

And finally better news for the Mother's Choice cot.

This cot was slightly different in that,although the side bar did not drop down,the base could be raised or lowered into two different positions making it safe as well as convenient.

The negatives for this one were quite minor;

the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find,was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily become detached.

The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice.

As this cot will then be safe in every way,we have made the Mother's Choice cot our best buy.

Congratulations Mother's Choice!

So,what features should you look for in a baby's cot?

Well obviously safety is a very important factor as well as comfort and convenience.

We recommend that,if you are buying a cot,do make sure that any metal present is not rusted or bent in any way.

You should ensure your cot has only rounded or smooth edging without any sharp edges,this is especially important for wooden cots.

And now on to beds for toddlers…

二、Cots for Baby聽力中文翻譯：

您好，歡迎來到今天的“買家當(dāng)心”節(jié)目，我們將為您提供一些關(guān)于如何明智花錢的建議。

現(xiàn)在，在今天的節(jié)目中，我們來看看兒童床和嬰兒床。

讓我們先看看嬰兒床，這是為三歲以下的孩子準(zhǔn)備的。

我們測試了三種不同的商用現(xiàn)貨，都在預(yù)算價格范圍內(nèi)，與往常一樣，我們將介紹優(yōu)點(diǎn)、問題和我們的結(jié)論。

我們看的第一張嬰兒床是由Baby Safe設(shè)計(jì)的，它有幾個優(yōu)點(diǎn)值得推薦。

我們的測試人員喜歡它有四個輪子，所以它很容易移動。

這種嬰兒床唯一的小問題是沒有剎車，但他們認(rèn)為這并不重要。

起初，他們有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心側(cè)桿，因?yàn)樗麄冇X得嬰兒可能會把手指卡在其中，但我們的測試人員認(rèn)為這不太可能發(fā)生，所以他們給了這個“滿意”的結(jié)果。

下一個嬰兒床是精選嬰兒床，這一次，我們的測試人員很高興找到了一個易于組裝的嬰兒床-與我們看到的其他嬰兒床不同。

從負(fù)面來看，我們的測試人員不喜歡嬰兒床的一側(cè)沒有掉落，這使得他們很難抱起新生嬰兒。

然而，這種嬰兒床的真正問題是橫桿之間的空間；

我們的測試人員發(fā)現(xiàn)它們太寬了，嬰兒很容易把頭困住。

我們覺得這是一個真正的安全隱患，所以我們把它貼上了“危險”的標(biāo)簽。

最后，給母親選擇的嬰兒床帶來了好消息。

這種嬰兒床稍有不同，盡管側(cè)桿沒有下降，但底座可以升高或降低到兩個不同的位置，使其既安全又方便。

這一次的負(fù)面影響很小；

每個人唯一的煩惱是它沒有輪子，而其他人能找到的唯一問題是，有些照片只是粘在上面，很容易脫落。

制造商現(xiàn)在承諾停止這種做法。

由于這種嬰兒床在各方面都是安全的，我們將母親選擇的嬰兒床作為我們的最佳選擇。

恭喜你媽媽的選擇！

那么，你應(yīng)該在嬰兒床上尋找哪些特征呢？

顯然，安全是一個非常重要的因素，舒適和方便也是如此。

我們建議，如果您正在購買嬰兒床，務(wù)必確保任何金屬都沒有生銹或以任何方式彎曲。

您應(yīng)該確保您的嬰兒床只有圓形或光滑的邊緣，沒有任何銳邊，這對于木制嬰兒床尤其重要。

現(xiàn)在是給學(xué)步兒童的床…

五、Cots for Baby聽力答案解析

Question 11 move around/move about.考生通過聽力原文中的定位詞Baby Safe得知答題點(diǎn)會立即出現(xiàn)。在分類表格題中，專有名詞往往是提示答題點(diǎn)的定位詞。

Question 12 brakes.原文中“the only problem”提示考生答案會馬上出現(xiàn)，此題中，“problem”是定位詞，考生聽到這個單詞之后應(yīng)有意識地尋找表示方向否定性的詞語“no brakes”，另外，根據(jù)題目可

以看出，此題要求填寫的是一個復(fù)數(shù)名詞。“any”是“some”的否定形式，后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞。

Question 13 fingers.可以從題目中看出此處應(yīng)該填寫復(fù)數(shù)名詞。注意聽力原文中出現(xiàn)表示原因的單詞“because”，考生需要高度重視考試中出現(xiàn)表示原因的單詞，因?yàn)?，表原因的單詞“because，because of，as a result of”等，所引導(dǎo)的句子中常會包含答題點(diǎn)。

Question 14 satisfactory.表格中的單詞“verdict”在聽力原文中出現(xiàn)，提示考生答案會馬上出現(xiàn)，并且，“satisfactory”在原文中重讀，考試中只要重讀的單詞都很可能是正確答案。

Question 15 put（it）together.定位詞是專有名詞“Choice Cots”，當(dāng)定位詞出現(xiàn)后，考生應(yīng)意識到“easy”為“simple”的近義詞或者同義詞。

Question 16 too wide.這道題應(yīng)該注意的是，程度限定詞“too”不能省略，填空題中表示程度限定的單詞都不可以省略，例如：“almost，above，around，nearly，less than，more than.”除此之外，原文中出現(xiàn)的路標(biāo)詞“however”提示考生答案會馬上出現(xiàn)。考試中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的表示轉(zhuǎn)折的路標(biāo)詞有“however，but，whereas，while，on the contrary，by contrast，on the other hand，reversely”等。

Question 17 dangerous.考生可以根據(jù)第14題中的單詞的詞性判斷出此處應(yīng)填寫一個形容詞。由于此題要求填寫的是說話人對于一個產(chǎn)品的評價，因而考生需要關(guān)注表示說話人觀點(diǎn)的句子?！皐e felt...and we have labeled this one dangerous.”表示說話人觀點(diǎn)的句型有：“we believe，weconsider，we regard，we think，we guess，in my opinion...”在聽力考試中考生應(yīng)密切關(guān)注表示說話人個人觀點(diǎn)的詞或者句型。

Question 18 wheels.在聽力原文之中，當(dāng)說話人要提及物品的缺點(diǎn)的時候往往會先提到優(yōu)點(diǎn)，此題正是如此。說完優(yōu)點(diǎn)之后，說話人提到“the negtive for this one...was the fact that it has no wheels.”首先，“negative”暗示產(chǎn)品的缺點(diǎn)會馬上提到，另外，“the fact”進(jìn)一步提示了答題點(diǎn)會馬上出現(xiàn)。

Question 19（the）best（/the）best buy/safe.同17題一樣，表示說話人觀點(diǎn)的詞或者句型包含答題點(diǎn)?！皐e have made...our best buy.”這是一個非?？谡Z化的表達(dá)方式，意思是“我們把Mother's Choice作為我們最好的選擇。”另外，緊接著出現(xiàn)的“congratulations...”說話人的聲音異常興奮，在考試中考生需注意異常的聲音，明顯的升調(diào)或者明顯的降調(diào)都會提示答案的出現(xiàn)。

Question20 sharp.首先可以判斷出此題要求填寫的是一個形容詞。其次，題目中的主語是edges，那么這個詞就是答案的定位詞，答案會出現(xiàn)在定位詞的前方或者后方。再次，題目中出現(xiàn)的“sb should do sth.”這個句型表示說話人非常強(qiáng)烈的建議，因而，在聽力原文中需要尋找表示強(qiáng)烈建議的句型。
