University Life劍橋雅思8-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、University Life聽力原文：

DAN:Hi Jeannie.

How's it going?

JEANNIE:Oh,hello Dan.

Pretty well,thanks.

Have you managed to get the money for the course yet?

DAN:Yes,that's all sorted out now,thanks.

It took long enough,though.

It was practically a year ago that I applied to my local council for a grant,and it took them six months to turn me down.

JEANNIE:That's really slow.

DAN:And I thought I was eligible for government funding,but it seems I was mistaken.

So then I asked the boss of the company I used to work for if they would sponsor me,and much to my surprise,(Q21-22)he said they’d make a contribution.

JEANNIE:But what about college grants and scholarships?

There must be some you could apply for.

DAN:Yes,there are,but they're all so small that I decided to leave them until I was desperate.

JEANNIE:Uhuh.

DAN:And in fact I didn’t need to apply.

My parents had been saying that as I already had a job,I ought to support myself through college.

(Q21-22)But in the end they took pity on me,so now I've just about got enough.

JEANNIE:That's good.

DAN:So now I can put a bit of effort into meeting people-I haven't had time so far.

Any suggestions?

JEANNIE:What about joining some college clubs?

DAN:Oh right.

You joined several didn't you?

JEANNIE:Yes,I'm in the drama club.

It's our first performance next week,so we re rehearsing frantically,and I've got behind with my work,but it's worth it.

I’m hoping to be in the spring production,too.

DAN:I've never liked acting.

Are you doing anything else?

JEANNIE:I enjoyed singing when I was at school,so I joined a group when I came to college.

(Q23-24)I don’t think the conductor stretches us enough,though so I'll give up after the next concert.

And I also joined the debating society.

It's fun,(Q23-24)but with all the rehearsing I'm doing,something has to go,and I’m afraid that's the one.

DAN:Do you do any sports?

JEANNIE:Yes,I'm in one of the hockey teams.

I'm not very good,but I'd really miss it if I stopped.

I decided to try tennis when I came to college,and I'm finding it pretty tough going.

I'm simply not fit enough.

DAN:Nor me..

I think I'll give that a miss!

JEANNIE:I'm hoping it'll help me to build up my stamina,but it'll probably be a long haul.

DAN:Good luck.

JEANNIE:Thanks.

DAN:How are you finding the course?

JEANNIE:I wish we had more seminars.

DAN:What?

I'd have thought we had more than enough already.

All those people saying clever things that I could never think of-it’s quite interesting,but I wonder if I'm clever enough to be doing this course.

JEANNIE:I find it helpful to listen to the other people.

I like the way we're exploring the subject,and working towards getting insight into it.

DAN:How do you get on with your tutor?

I don't think I'm on the same wavelength as mine,so I feel I'm not getting anything out of the tutorials.

It would be more productive to read a book instead.

JEANNIE:Oh,mine's very demanding.

She gives me lots of feedback and advice,so I've got much better at writing essays.

And she's helping me plan my revision for the end-of-year exams.

DAN:Do tell me.

I always struggle with revision.

JEANNIE:Well,the first thing is to find out exactly what's required in the exams.

DAN:Mm.

Would it help to get hold of some past papers?

JEANNIE:Yes.

They'll help to make it clear.

DAN:Right,I'll do that.

Then what?

JEANNIE:Then you can set out your revision priorities,based on what's most likely to come up.

I put these on a card,and read them through regularly.

DAN:Uhuh.

JEANNIE:But that isn't enough in itself.

You also need a timetable,to see how you can fit everything in,in the time available.

Then keep it in front of you while you're studying.

DAN:I've done that before,but it hasn't helped me!

JEANNIE:Maybe you need to do something different every day,so if you break down your revision into small tasks,and allocate them to specific days,there's more incentive to tackle them.

With big topics you're more likely to put off starting.

DAN:Good idea.

JEANNIE:And as I revise each topic I write a single paragraph about it-then later I can read it through quickly,and it helps fix things in my mind.

DAN:That's brilliant.

JEANNIE:I also write answers to questions for the exam practice.

It's hard to make myself do it,though!

DAN:Well,I'll try.

Thanks a lot,Jeannie.

That's a great help.

JEANNIE:No problem.

DAN:See you around.

JEANNIE:Bye.

二、University Life聽力中文翻譯：

丹：嗨，珍妮。

怎么樣？

珍妮：噢，你好，丹。

很好，謝謝。

你拿到課程的錢了嗎？

丹：是的，現(xiàn)在都解決了，謝謝。

不過，這花了足夠長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。

差不多一年前，我向當(dāng)?shù)刈h會(huì)申請(qǐng)補(bǔ)助金，他們花了六個(gè)月的時(shí)間才拒絕了我。

珍妮：真慢。

丹：我以為我有資格獲得政府資助，但似乎我錯(cuò)了。

于是我問我以前工作過的公司的老板，他們是否會(huì)資助我，令我驚訝的是，（問題21-22）他說他們會(huì)做出貢獻(xiàn)。

珍妮：那大學(xué)助學(xué)金和獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金呢？

一定有一些你可以申請(qǐng)的。

丹：是的，有，但它們都太小了，我決定離開它們，直到我絕望為止。

珍妮：嗯。

丹：事實(shí)上我不需要申請(qǐng)。

我的父母一直在說，既然我已經(jīng)有了一份工作，我應(yīng)該養(yǎng)活自己讀完大學(xué)。

（問題21-22）但最后他們同情我，所以現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)受夠了。

珍妮：那很好。

丹：所以現(xiàn)在我可以花點(diǎn)精力去見人了——到目前為止我還沒有時(shí)間。

有什么建議嗎？

珍妮：加入一些大學(xué)俱樂部怎么樣？

丹：哦，對(duì)了。

你加入了好幾個(gè)，不是嗎？

珍妮：是的，我在戲劇俱樂部。

這是我們下周的第一場(chǎng)演出，所以我們瘋狂地重新排練，我的工作落后了，但這是值得的。

我也希望能參加春季制作。

丹：我從來都不喜歡演戲。

你還有別的事嗎？

珍妮：我上學(xué)的時(shí)候喜歡唱歌，所以我上大學(xué)時(shí)加入了一個(gè)團(tuán)體。

（問題23-24）我認(rèn)為這位指揮家對(duì)我們的影響不夠，盡管如此，我還是會(huì)在下一場(chǎng)音樂會(huì)后放棄。

我也加入了辯論協(xié)會(huì)。

這很有趣，（Q23-24），但由于我正在排練，有些事情必須做，恐怕就是這樣。

丹：你做什么運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎？

珍妮：是的，我是曲棍球隊(duì)的一員。

我不是很好，但如果我停下來，我會(huì)非常想念它。

我上大學(xué)的時(shí)候就決定嘗試打網(wǎng)球，我發(fā)現(xiàn)這很難。

我只是身體不夠健康。

丹：我也不。。

我想我會(huì)錯(cuò)過的！

珍妮：我希望這能幫助我增強(qiáng)耐力，但這可能需要很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

丹：祝你好運(yùn)。

珍妮：謝謝。

丹：你覺得這門課怎么樣？

珍妮：我希望我們有更多的研討會(huì)。

丹：什么？

我想我們已經(jīng)夠多了。

所有這些人都在說我從來沒想過的聰明話——這很有趣，但我想知道我是否足夠聰明，可以參加這門課程。

珍妮：我覺得聽別人說話很有幫助。

我喜歡我們探索這個(gè)主題的方式，并努力深入了解它。

丹：你和你的導(dǎo)師相處得怎么樣？

我覺得我和我的想法不一樣，所以我覺得我沒有從教程中得到任何東西。

相反，讀書會(huì)更有成效。

珍妮：哦，我的要求很高。

她給了我很多反饋和建議，所以我的作文寫得更好。

她在幫我計(jì)劃期末考試的復(fù)習(xí)。

丹：一定要告訴我。

我總是在努力復(fù)習(xí)。

珍妮：嗯，首先要弄清楚考試的要求是什么。

丹：嗯。

掌握一些過去的文件會(huì)有幫助嗎？

珍妮：是的。

他們會(huì)幫你弄清楚的。

丹：好的，我會(huì)的。

然后呢？

珍妮：然后你可以根據(jù)最有可能出現(xiàn)的情況，確定你的復(fù)習(xí)重點(diǎn)。

我把它們放在一張卡片上，并定期通讀。

丹：嗯。

珍妮：但這本身還不夠。

你還需要一個(gè)時(shí)間表，看看你如何在可用的時(shí)間內(nèi)把一切都安排好。

然后在你學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候把它放在你面前。

丹：我以前做過，但對(duì)我沒有幫助！

珍妮：也許你每天都需要做些不同的事情，所以如果你把復(fù)習(xí)分為幾個(gè)小任務(wù)，并把它們分配到特定的日子里，那么你就更有動(dòng)力去解決它們。

對(duì)于大話題，你更可能推遲開始。

丹：好主意。

珍妮：當(dāng)我修改每個(gè)主題時(shí)，我會(huì)寫一段關(guān)于它的內(nèi)容，然后我可以很快地把它看完，這有助于解決我腦海中的問題。

丹：太棒了。

珍妮：我還寫考試練習(xí)題的答案。

不過，我很難讓自己這么做！

丹：好吧，我試試看。

非常感謝，珍妮。

這是一個(gè)很大的幫助。

珍妮：沒問題。

丹：回頭見。

珍妮：再見。

五、University Life聽力答案解析

21.B原文But in the end they took pity on me,so now I’ve just about get enough.的意思是但是最后他們同情我，所以我現(xiàn)在差不多有足夠的錢了。根據(jù)這句話可以推斷出他的家庭愿意幫忙，因而答案應(yīng)該選擇B。21題和22題的答案位置可以互換。

22.E原文...he said he would make a contribution.的意思是他說他將會(huì)做出一些貢獻(xiàn)。因而，可以推斷出答案是E，即A former employer is providing partial funding（以前的老板提供了一部分資助）。

23.A原文I don’t think the conductor stretches us enough...的意思是我不認(rèn)為樂隊(duì)的指揮對(duì)我們的要求足夠高。言外之意，因?yàn)橐蟛桓?，所以我沒有感受到足夠的挑戰(zhàn)性，因而答案選擇A。

24.C轉(zhuǎn)折詞but之后包含答題點(diǎn)。

25.B此題的答題點(diǎn)仍然出現(xiàn)在轉(zhuǎn)折詞but之后，并且原文的意思是我懷疑自己是不是足夠聰明來完成這門課程。而B選項(xiàng)的意思是，這些研討會(huì)讓他感覺自己不如其他學(xué)生。兩句話

都是在表達(dá)他對(duì)自己信心不足。

26.C so之后出現(xiàn)的詞組和句子往往是正確答案。

27.priorities原文set out和題干中的work out是同義轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)這個(gè)詞組可以定位出答案。

28.timetable首先可以判斷出此題應(yīng)該填寫的是單數(shù)名詞，然后認(rèn)真聆聽出現(xiàn)在轉(zhuǎn)折詞but之后的成分。

29.(small)tasks原文break down your revision的意思是分開復(fù)習(xí)，和題干中的Divide revision into是同義轉(zhuǎn)換。

30.(single)paragraph each topic是此題的定位詞。
