1、意思是什么? 和他在一起好了,对吧,如果写笔记,那就写“在一起”,最好再加个委曲求全不情愿的表情。假如写听到的词,难道写“算了吧”?下面以官方真题Official24L1crocodilevocalization为例,*讲鳄鱼发声的几个原因。第二个原因是鳄鱼宝宝会向妈妈发出叫声,让妈妈注意到自己从而保证安全。其中一段师生问答如下:Excuse me. But,um. does all that crying defeat the purpose? I mean, doesnt it attract morepredators?Hmm.goodquestion. I guess, I am gu
2、essing that once the babies have the mothersattention, they are safe. Shes never too far away, and, and I think.I mean,would you mess with a mother crocodile?学生担心宝宝叫唤可能会引来更多捕食者。老师说只要妈妈关注到孩子了,他们就安全了,妈妈一直在附近,而且没有动物会惹毛妈妈。老师想表达的意思是什么,是不会吸引更多捕食者!笔记上记什么,学生问题记上箭头+predator,老师回答记叉号!不管老师回答这些,还是回答”捕食者不敢过来的啊 妈妈
3、护犊子心很强的 鳄鱼妈妈怎么可能让自己孩子处于危险里谁敢搞死她孩子她就搞死谁“,意思全!部!都!一!样!此时请你想象下,如果一个人的笔记上写了“attention safe never far Xmess with”,这是一个多么没有重点没有逻辑的笔记!托福听力:听力中的修辞方法孔子曰:“言之无文,行而不远。”汉语中有修辞,英语中自然也有。早在90年代初的TOEFL 听力考试中,美语的修辞手法便得到了初步的运用,随着TOEFL听力不断向Daily (日常生活化) 和Functional (语言交际功能化) 发展,为考试而刻意雕琢的那些呆板、生硬的语法现象已荡然无存,各种各样修辞方法的广泛运用已
4、成为听力语言地道性的重要表现。不过,也正是由于修辞的出现,无形间加大了我们对其语言理解的难度,有时甚至“不知所云”,即使看到了听力文字部分,也是“一头雾水”,但如果我们真正领悟了修辞中字里行间的奥秘,不仅会帮助我们迅速解题,更会被TOEFL听力中的经典修辞艺术所折服。从这种角度考虑,修辞堪称TOEFL听力调色“话”板的点睛笔!为了透彻理解TOEFL听力修辞语言的话外音,我们有必要对近年来TOEFL听力中出现的各种美语修辞手法做一个分析和总结,以有利于考生究其根本,从而顺利、快捷的解题。Hyperbole(夸张)试比较以下TOEFL听力短对话的两种回答方式:Have you asked your
5、 brother to do the dishes?1)Yes, many times.(很多遍了。)2)Yes, a thousand times.(无数次了。很明显,种回答方式不如第二种生动,因为a thousand times(无数次)使用了Hyperbole(夸张)的修辞手法。Hyperbole一词源于希腊语的huperbole,意思是exceed(超过),是一种故意夸大其词(overstatement)或言过其实的修辞手法;其特点是对表达对象进行有违常识或不合逻辑的夸张性描写,以达到强烈的修辞效果。如:a river of tears (泪河)、a mountain of coal
6、(煤山)、oceans of people (人海).Hyperbole(夸张)在TOEFL听力中的运用也可谓炉火纯青。比如:(划线部分为夸张之处)1)You are my lifesaver.(你是我的“救命恩人”。2)You are 100% right.(你“百分之百”的正确。3)My back killed me.(我的腰痛的厉害。4)You make me feel guilty. (你让我感觉像是在犯罪。5)I havent seen you for ages. (好久不见了呀!6)I could sleep for a whole year. (我太困了。7)Were all t
7、ired to death. (我们快累死了。当然,除了TOEFL听力,Hyperbole(夸张)的修辞手法在英语语言文学中的经典范例不胜枚举:1)One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters. (George Herbert) (一个父亲的作用大于100个教师。2)Its a crime to stay inside on such a beautiful day. (今天阳光明媚,躲在家中实在太遗憾了。3)A drop of ink may make a million think.(George G Byron)(一滴墨水写成的文字可让千
8、万人思索。Simile(明喻)试比较以下两种TOEFL听力表达方式:1)He spent a lot of money.(他花了大笔的钱。2)He spent a lot of money, like water.(他花钱如流水。很明显,第二种表达方式比种更加生动和形象。因为like water(如流水)使用了Simile(明喻)的修辞手法,这样以来,无疑使语言更加精彩和完美,听力考试也不再单纯是一门考试,而变成了一种享受。Simile(明喻)一词源于拉丁语similes,其意为like(象)。他借助人们的想象力,使用一定的比喻词如:like, as等加以连接,从而清楚的表明两种事物之间的相似
9、之处,使得表达更加新鲜有趣。其典型形式是A is like B.真题中的短语leave no stone unturned 不遗余力;全力以赴Lynn left no stone unturned in her research, and handed in an excellent paper.(Lynn全力以赴做她的研究,交了一篇优秀的论文。eg:on cloud nine 沉浸在幸福之中;非常高兴Marcia looks like shes on cloud nine.Do you know what made her so happy?

(你觉得新经济学老师怎么样?I dont know.Something about him rubs me the wrong way.(不知怎么的,他有点让我反感。scratch the surface 只懂皮毛,很不了解(通常和限制性副词如only, hardly等词连用)Y
