Dreamtime Travel Agency劍橋雅思5-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Dreamtime Travel Agency聽力原文：

RECEPTIONIST:Good afternoon,Dreamtime Travel

How can I help you?

CUSTOMER:Oh hello.

I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.

RECEPTIONIST:Yes.

We operate several tours up the coast.

Where in particular did you want to go?

CUSTOMER:Well,I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales.

Was it'Whale Watching'?

RECEPTIONIST:Oh,that's our Whale Watch Experience.

It's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.

CUSTOMER:Oh right,and how long does it last?

RECEPTIONIST:It's two days-that includes four hours'travel time each way from here.

CUSTOMER:Good,I don't want to be away any longer than that.

So is that by coach?

RECEPTIONIST:Actually it's by minibus.

We like to keep those tours small and personal so we don't take a whole coachload of people.

In fact,we only take up to fifteen people on this tour,although we do run it with just twelve or thirteen.

CUSTOMER:Oh,right.

So do you run these tours often?

RECEPTIONIST:Well it depends on the time of year.

Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend,but at the moment it's usually once a month at most.

CUSTOMER:And when is the next one going?

RECEPTIONIST:Mmm,let me see.

Um,there's one in three weeks'time which is April the 18th,and then we don't have another one until June the 2nd.

CUSTOMER:All right,and is April a good time to go?

RECEPTIONIST:Pretty good.

Though the really good time is later in the year.

I have to say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many things offered.

CUSTOMER:Really?

RECEPTIONIST:Yes.

The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities.

It's called The Pallisades.

CUSTOMER:The Paris what?

RECEPTIONIST:No,it's actually The Pallisades,P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S.

It's right on the main beach there.

CUSTOMER:Oh,I see.

RECEPTIONIST:All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too.

CUSTOMER:Oh right.

CUSTOMER:And what about the other things?

You know,that are included in the price.

RECEPTIONIST:Oh,there are lots of things.

If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise,your guide will take anyone who is interested either on(Q5-6)a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel,and there's no extra charge for that,or on a fishing trip.

That's an extra$12 I think.

And there's also a reptile park in town-that costs more or less the same.

CUSTOMER:No,I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.

RECEPTIONIST:Yeah.

And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach.

Oh,and they also have tennis courts at the hotel,but you have to pay for those by the hour.

But there are(Q5-6)table tennis tables downstairs and they're part of the accommodation package.

Just speak to your guide.

CUSTOMER:Well that sounds good.

So how much is the basic tour price?

RECEPTIONIST:At this time of year it's usually around$300 but let me check.

Er...

oh,it's actually$280.

CUSTOMER:And the next tour,are there any places on that one?

RECEPTIONIST:How many people is it for?

CUSTOMER:There are two of us.

RECEPTIONIST:Yes,that should be fine.

Can I just mention that we require all bookings to be made at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours.

And if you cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50%of your total booking.

CUSTOMER:OK.

RECEPTIONIST:And you also need to pay a 20%deposit at the time of booking.

CUSTOMER:Can I pay that by credit card?

RECEPTIONIST:Yes,you can.

CUSTOMER:All right,what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.

RECEPTIONIST:Fine.

So I'll make a provisional booking,shall I-two for the Whale Watch Experience.

Let me issue you with a customer reference number for when you call back.

Do you have a pen?

CUSTOMER:Yes.

RECEPTIONIST:OK,it's three nine seven,four five,T.

That's T for tango.

When you call back,ask to speak to the Tour Manager,that's me,Tracy.

CUSTOMER:Fine,I will.

二、Dreamtime Travel Agency聽力中文翻譯：

接待員：下午好，夢之旅

我能為您做些什么？

顧客：哦，你好。

我對你們在附近海岸的度假很感興趣。

接待員：是的。

我們有幾次沿海岸旅行。

你特別想去哪里？

顧客：嗯，我喜歡假日里提到鯨魚的聲音。

是“觀鯨”嗎？

接待員：哦，這就是我們的觀鯨體驗。

它非常受歡迎，總部位于一個有著美麗海灘的可愛小鎮(zhèn)。

顧客：哦，對了，它能持續(xù)多久？

接待員：兩天，包括從這里到這里每程四小時的旅行時間。

顧客：很好，我不想再離開了。

那是教練的嗎？

接待員：實際上是乘小巴的。

我們喜歡讓這些旅行保持小型化和個性化，這樣我們就不會帶一車人。

事實上，我們這次旅行最多只接待15人，雖然我們確實只接待了12或13人。

顧客：哦，對了。

你經(jīng)常組織這些旅行嗎？

接待員：這取決于一年中的時間。

當然，在像暑假這樣的高峰期，我們每個周末都會這樣做，但目前通常最多每月一次。

顧客：下一個什么時候去？

接待員：嗯，讓我想想。

嗯，三周后有一次是4月18日，然后我們要到6月2日才有另一次。

顧客：好的，四月是去的好時間嗎？

接待員：很好。

雖然真正的好時機是在今年晚些時候。

但我不得不說，看到鯨魚只是提供的眾多服務之一。

顧客：真的嗎？

接待員：是的。

你住的那家酒店本身設施很好。

它叫帕利薩德斯。

顧客：巴黎什么？

接待員：不，實際上是Pallisades，P-A-L-L-I-s-A-D-E-s。

就在那里的主海灘上。

顧客：哦，我明白了。

接待員：所有房間的景色都很好，那里的食物也很好。

顧客：哦，對了。

顧客：還有其他的呢？

你知道，這已經(jīng)包括在價格里了。

接待員：哦，有很多東西。

如果你不想進行觀鯨巡游，你的導游會帶任何有興趣的人去（Q5-6）酒店附近的國家公園叢林漫步，而且不收取額外費用，或者去釣魚。

我想那是額外的12美元。

鎮(zhèn)上還有一個爬行動物公園，價格差不多。

顧客：不，我想我更喜歡鯨魚而不是蛇。

接待員：是的。

如果你只是想放松一下，你可以自由地坐在酒店的游泳池旁或去海灘。

哦，旅館里也有網(wǎng)球場，但你必須按小時付費。

但樓下有（Q5-6）張乒乓球桌，它們是住宿套餐的一部分。

跟你的向導談談。

顧客：聽起來不錯。

那么基本的旅游價格是多少？

接待員：每年這個時候通常是300美元左右，但讓我查一下。

呃。。。

哦，實際上是280美元。

顧客：還有下一次旅行，那一次有什么地方嗎？

接待員：這是給多少人的？

顧客：我們有兩個人。

接待員：好的，應該可以。

請允許我提一下，我們要求所有預訂至少在您旅行前14天進行，以避免取消旅行。

如果您在出發(fā)后七天內取消預訂，您必須支付預訂總額的50%。

顧客：好的。

接待員：您還需要在預訂時支付20%的押金。

顧客：我可以用信用卡支付嗎？

接待員：可以。

顧客：好吧，我要做的就是和我的搭檔談談，然后再給你回復。

接待員：好的。

所以，我會臨時預訂兩張鯨魚觀賞體驗票，好嗎。

讓我給你一個客戶參考號碼，以便你回電話時使用。

你有鋼筆嗎？

顧客：是的。

接待員：好的，現(xiàn)在是三九七，四五，T。

那不是探戈。

當你回電話時，請和旅游經(jīng)理談談，那是我，特蕾西。

顧客：好的，我會的。

五、Dreamtime Travel Agency聽力答案解析

Question 1 by minibus/a minibus.當看到題目當中出現(xiàn)transportation的時候，考生需要在聽力的過程中有意識地捕捉表示交通工具的詞語。聽力原文中出現(xiàn)了coach，但是隨后緊接著出現(xiàn)的actually是一個非常明顯的信號，它告知考生coach為干擾項。答案應該是actually之后緊接著出現(xiàn)的單詞。

Question 2 15/15 people.這是一道數(shù)字題，在聽力考試當中，數(shù)字題是一個必考點。題目提示maximum group size暗示考生在聽力原文中可能出現(xiàn)一連串數(shù)字，解題方法是把所有出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字記下，然后從中挑選最大的數(shù)字。并且，原文中提到的in fact就已經(jīng)暗示答案是15而不是干擾項12 or 13。

Question 3 April（the）18th.這道題考查考生對時間信息的把握。原文中提到兩個時間，其中June the 2nd是干擾項，原文中兩次提到April，這樣考生可以排除干擾項，因為在聽力考試當中，凡是重復提到的信息一般都是正確答案，根據(jù)這個原則可以排除干擾項。

Question 4 Pallisades.從題目hotel name中考生可以判斷出答案是一個專有名詞，應該大寫首字母。原文中把所有字母都拼出來，在考試當中凡是把字母拼寫出來的單詞都很有可能是答案，因而，考生需要記下這些細節(jié)信息。

Question 5 B/D.首先考生必須找出題目的重點“include in the price of the tour”，意思是哪兩項娛樂項目是包含在旅行費用當中的。原文中首先提到bushwalk，并且提到“no extra

charge”?？梢钥闯?，題目中的“include in the price of the tour”和“no extra charge”是同義轉換，因而可以選出正確答案。

Question 6 D/B.在聽力原文中提到了“but there are table tennis tables downstairs and they are part of the accommodation package.”在這句話中，“part of the accommodation

package”是“include in the price of the tour”的同義轉換，意思是打乒乓球的費用已經(jīng)包含在住宿費用之中，不需要額外付費。

Question 7 280.文中出現(xiàn)$300等干擾數(shù)據(jù)，考生需關注路標詞actually，出現(xiàn)在這個單詞之前的信息都不可能成為答案，其后的信息才是重點。

Question 8 14.首先判斷出該空需要填寫的是數(shù)字，然后聽到路標詞bookings就可以寫出正確答案，文后出現(xiàn)的7 days和cancellations（取消預約）有關，與bookings無關。

Question 9 20%.deposit是此題的信號詞，考生聽到“X%+deposit”這樣的語法結構應記下數(shù)字。

Question 10 39745T.reference number是此題的關鍵，只要考生聽到這個詞組，記下數(shù)字即可。
