如何在聽不懂的情況下照樣選對答案 （中英文對照）

——學(xué)一點“害人”的、只對考試有用的技巧
——三大實用技巧，抓住聽力考試題的致命弱點，在緊張的聽力考場上運籌帷幄、穩(wěn)操勝券！
這里所談的技巧以托福考試為樣本，它是英語考試的典范，國內(nèi)的高考、四級、六級等考試都在逐漸向它靠攏。
以下比較難的部分采取中英文對照形式，其余的只給出英文，所有資料都適合進行三最口腔肌肉訓(xùn)練。編寫忱個部分的一個瘋狂目的是要求大家能夠用英文來告訴別人如何對付聽力考試！
這是李陽·克立茲的一貫信念：一步登天！
首先讓我們來熟悉標準聽力考試的結(jié)構(gòu)：
[1] The Listening comprehension section of the TOEFL contains fiftyquestions. There are three sections to this part of the test.
[2] Part A: in this section you hear a short statement and you are asked to select the answer closest in meaning to what you heard. There are twenty questions in Part A.
[3] Part B: In this section you hear a short dialogue between two speakers. A third speaker will then ask you a question about what was said. There are fifteen questions in Part B.
[4] Part C: In this section you hear three longer talks. Either a conversation between two people or a lecture given by one person. Each talk is followed by four to six questions, for which you are asked to select the best answer. There are fifteen questions in art C.
[5] Total time for the section is about thirty minutes. There are fifty questions total on this section.

在進行聽力考試的時候，你要面對巨大的時間壓力！因為：
You can't take any extra time for hard questions! (對于難的問題，你沒有多余的時間！)
無論聽懂還是聽不懂，難還是簡單，你都只有同樣的時間！只有一次機會！很多人由于心理素質(zhì)差和缺 乏技巧而在聽力考試中一敗涂地！所以聽力考 試就象一場 競爭激 烈的體育運動！有人把它比作打網(wǎng)球：
[1] Even if you've never played tennis, you've probably at some point in your life seen it played. Your goal for this section is to learn to play the game of Listening comprehension. Understanding what is on the tape is only one small part o the game. First of all, you need to learn to pace[為…定步調(diào)；掌握速度] yourself. Think for a moment about what makes a good tennis player
[2] Bad tennis players spend a lot of time watching the ball andrunning to try to catch up to it.
[3] Good tennis players spend a lot of time watching their opponents to anticipate [預(yù)料] where the ball will go so that they can be there first and be ready to hit it back.
[4] Most people take the Listening Comprehension section the way bad tennis players play tennis——always running a little bit behind. To do well on this section, you need to stay one step ahead of your opponent——you need to stay ahead of the questions.

翻譯的最高境界：中國人說中國話（即使你從來沒有打過網(wǎng)球，但你要能看過別人打。你現(xiàn)在要做的就是學(xué)會玩聽力考試的游戲。聽懂只是這個游戲的一小部分。首先，你需要學(xué)習如何控制自己的步調(diào)?，F(xiàn)在讓我們來看看一個好的網(wǎng)球運動員是如何做的。普通的網(wǎng)球運動者把大部分時間用在盯著別人的球， 然后再倉促地跑過去接球，完全處于被動地位；而網(wǎng)球高手則是盯著對手，并預(yù)料球的方向以便先發(fā)制人。大多數(shù)參加聽力考試的人表現(xiàn)得就象那個普通的網(wǎng)球運動者，總是慢 一步。所以要想做好聽力考試，你必須比對手先行一步，你必須走在問題的前面。下面我們來談一談技巧。李陽·克立茲聽力訓(xùn)練的硬功夫要求是：像母語那樣去聽懂！這里所談的技巧主要是幫助那些聽力很差的人對付考試、蒙混過關(guān)，當然對具有英語真功夫的朋友，這些技巧 也會幫助他們更加穩(wěn)操勝券！

技巧一： Reading ahead提前閱讀
You have about twelve seconds to answer each of the questions in Parts A and B, no matter how hard or easy each question may seem. The best use of these twelve seconds is to use them to get a sense of [進行大致了解] the upcoming [即將到來的] question. To do this:
Read the answer choices before you hear each question.
(在聽每個問題之前，先抓緊時間閱讀四個選擇答案。)
When you take the test, you will hear the voice on the tape reading the directions for Part A. You will not be able to see the question for Part A until the directions have been read. However, you should turn the page the instant [一…就] you hear the end of the directions, which sounds something like this:
Sentence (B)"Could you help me carry these books" is closest in meaning to the sentence you heard. Therefore you should choose answer (B).
As you are turning the page you will hear Go on to the next page. Now let us begin Part A with question number one.
But by then you should already be reading the answer choices to question 1 in order to get ready to listen. Then, as soon as you hear
Question number one…
Followed by whatever that question may be, choose your answer and mark it as quickly as possible. Now you can use the rest of the twelve seconds to read the answer choices for qwuestion2, and so on(聽到第一個問題后，就迅速選擇答案，然后以最快的速度標記答案。這時你就可以用剩余的/節(jié)省出來的十二秒鐘去閱讀下一個問題的選擇答案。)
The key to this method is discipline [紀律]. You'll find you tend to want to linger [逗留；耽擱] on each of the questions until you hear the beginning of the next one. DON'T DO IT! That's how you can end up [以…結(jié)束] missing two or three questions in a row; if you don't know the answer, GUESS an move on!
（這個方法的關(guān)鍵是紀律。你可能會猶豫不定，在每個問題上耽擱久，直至你聽到下一個問題開始。千萬不要這么做！否則你可能會連續(xù)錯過兩、三個問題，如果你不知道答案，只管猜，然后就繼續(xù)前進。）
