Research on Doctors劍橋雅思8-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Research on Doctors聽力原文：

I’ve been doing some research into what people in Britain think of doctors,the ones who work in general practice-the first call for medical care-and comparing this with the situation in a couple of other countries.

I want to talk about the rationale behind what I decided to do.

Now I had to set up my programme of research in three different countries so I approached postgraduates in my field in overseas departments,contacting them by email,to organise things for me at their end.

I thought I would have trouble recruiting help but in fact everyone was very willing and sometimes their tutors got involved too.

I had to give my helpers clear instructions about what kind of sample population I wanted them to use.

I decided that people under 18 should be excluded because most of them are students or looking for their first job,and also I decided at this stage just to focus on men who were in employment,and set up something for people who didn't have jobs and for employed women later on as a separate investigation.

I specifically wanted to do a questionnaire,and interviews with a focus group.

With the questionnaire,rather than limiting it to one specific point,I wanted to include as much variety as possible.

I know questionnaires are a very controlled way to do things but I thought I could do taped interviews later on to counteract the effects of this.

And the focus group may also prove useful in future,by targeting subjects I can easily return to,as the participants tend to be more involved.

So I'm just collating the results now.

At the moment it looks as if,in the UK,despite the fact that newspapers continually report that people are unhappy with medical care,in fact it is mainly the third level of care,which takes place in hospitals,that they are worried about.

Government reforms have been proposed at all levels and although their success is not guaranteed,long-term hospital care is in fact probably less of an issue than the media would have us believe.

However,I've still got quite a bit of data to look at.

Certainly I will need to do more far-reaching research than I had anticipated in order to establish if people want extra medical staff invested in the community,or if they want care to revert to fewer,but larger,key medical units.

The solution may well be something that can be easily implemented by those responsible in local government,with central government support of course.

This first stage has proved very valuable though.

I was surprised by how willing most of the subjects were to get involved in the project-1 had expected some unwillingness to answer questions honestly.

But I was taken aback and rather concerned that something I thought I'd set up very well didn’t necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own department.

I thought you might also be interested in some of the problems I encountered in collecting my data.

There were odd cases that threw me-one of the subjects who I had approached while he was out shopping in town,decided to pull out when it came to the second round.

It was a shame as it was someone who I would like to have interviewed more closely.

And one of the first-year students I interviewed wanted reassurance that no names would be traceable from the answers.

I was so surprised,because they think nothing of telling you about themselves and their opinions in seminar groups!

Then,one of the people that I work with got a bit funny.

The questions were quite personal and one minute he said he'd do it,then the next day he wouldn't,and in the end he did do it.

It's hard not to get angry in that situation but I tried to keep focused on the overall picture in order to stay calm.

The most bizarre case was a telephone interview I did with a teacher at a university in France.

He answered all my questions in great detail-but then when I asked how much access he had to dangerous substances he wouldn't tell me exactly what his work involved.

It’s a real eye-opener…

二、Research on Doctors聽力中文翻譯：

我一直在研究英國人對醫(yī)生的看法，這些醫(yī)生是全科醫(yī)生——第一個需要醫(yī)療護理的人——并將其與其他幾個國家的情況進行比較。

我想談?wù)勎覜Q定做什么的理由。

現(xiàn)在，我不得不在三個不同的國家設(shè)立我的研究項目，所以我接觸了我所在領(lǐng)域的海外院系的研究生，通過電子郵件聯(lián)系他們，在他們那里為我組織事情。

我原以為我在招聘幫手方面會遇到困難，但事實上每個人都非常愿意，有時他們的導師也會參與進來。

我必須給我的助手們明確的指示，告訴他們我希望他們使用什么樣的樣本群體。

我決定，18歲以下的人應該被排除在外，因為他們大多數(shù)是學生或正在尋找第一份工作。我還決定在現(xiàn)階段只關(guān)注那些有工作的男性，并為那些沒有工作的人和就業(yè)女性建立一個單獨的調(diào)查。

我特別想做一份問卷調(diào)查，并采訪一個焦點小組。

對于調(diào)查問卷，我不想將其局限于一個特定的點，而是希望盡可能多地包含多樣性。

我知道問卷調(diào)查是一種非?？煽氐姆绞剑蚁胛铱梢陨院笞鲣浺舨稍L來抵消這種影響。

而焦點小組在未來也可能證明是有用的，因為參與者往往會更多地參與進來，所以我可以很容易地回到主題中。

所以我現(xiàn)在正在整理結(jié)果。

目前看來，在英國，盡管報紙不斷報道人們對醫(yī)療不滿意，但實際上他們擔心的主要是發(fā)生在醫(yī)院的第三級護理。

各級政府都提出了改革建議，雖然不能保證改革的成功，但長期醫(yī)院護理實際上可能不像媒體讓我們相信的那樣是一個問題。

然而，我還有很多數(shù)據(jù)要看。

當然，我需要做比我預期的更深遠的研究，以確定人們是否希望在社區(qū)投入更多的醫(yī)務(wù)人員，或者他們是否希望恢復到較少但較大的關(guān)鍵醫(yī)療單位。

當然，在中央政府的支持下，地方政府負責人很可能很容易實施解決方案。

但事實證明，第一階段非常有價值。

令我驚訝的是，大多數(shù)受試者都很愿意參與到這個項目中來——我原以為他們不愿意誠實地回答問題。

但我感到驚訝，并相當擔心的是，我認為自己做得很好的事情，在我所在部門的每個人看來，未必都是這樣。

我想您可能也對我在收集數(shù)據(jù)時遇到的一些問題感興趣。

有一些奇怪的案例讓我感到困惑——我接觸過的其中一個受試者在鎮(zhèn)上購物時，決定在第二輪退出。

這是一個遺憾，因為這是一個我想采訪得更近的人。

我采訪的一名一年級學生希望得到保證，從答案中找不到任何名字。

我很驚訝，因為他們根本不想告訴你關(guān)于他們自己和他們在研討會小組中的觀點！

然后，我的一個同事變得有點滑稽。

這些問題都是針對個人的，前一分鐘他說他會做，第二天他就不做了，最后他做了。

在那種情況下，很難不生氣，但我努力保持全神貫注，以保持冷靜。

最奇怪的案例是我在法國一所大學與一位老師進行的電話采訪。

他非常詳細地回答了我所有的問題，但當我問他有多少接觸危險物質(zhì)的機會時，他并沒有告訴我他的工作到底涉及到什么。

這真的讓人大開眼界…

五、Research on Doctors聽力答案解析

31.B原文...I approached postgraduates in my field in overseas departments...的意思是我聯(lián)系了和我從事相同領(lǐng)域工作的海外機構(gòu)的研究生們。根據(jù)這句話，可以判斷出答案是B help from students in other countries（海外學生的幫助）。

32.B原文...I decided at this stage just to focus on men who were in employment...的意思是我決定在這個階段僅僅專注于研究有工作的男性。

33.A原文...I wanted to include as much variety as possible.的意思是我想盡可能包含更多的種類。因而，和A to get a wide range of data（得到范圍很廣的數(shù)據(jù)）表達同樣的意思。

34.A此題的答案出現(xiàn)在強烈轉(zhuǎn)折詞in fact之后。在雅思聽力考試中，凡是actually，as a matter of fact，in fact之類的轉(zhuǎn)折詞之后往往包含答案。

35.C這道題相對較難，考查的是考生對聽力原文的理解還有推斷。原文...in order to establish if people want extra medical staff invested in the community,or if they want care to revert to fewer,but larger,key medical units.的意思是為了能夠了解人們是否想要額外的社區(qū)醫(yī)護人員，或者居民是否想要少而精的主要的醫(yī)療機構(gòu)。根據(jù)這句話推斷可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，答案是C identify the preferences of the public（發(fā)現(xiàn)人們對公共設(shè)施的喜好）。

36.C原文...I was taken aback and rather concerned that something I thought I’d set up very well didn’t necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own department.意思是我遇到了一些麻煩并且發(fā)現(xiàn)我原以為設(shè)計很好的計劃對我同事來講并不是那么回事。

37.B原文提到...decided to pull out when it came to the second round.，其中pull out指的是退出。

38.F原文...no name would be traceable from the answers.的意思是不能通過答案追溯到名字。

39.D此題根據(jù)原文做筆記只需要簡單地記下do-wouldn’t-do即可。

40.C原文...he wouldn’t tell me exactly what his work involved.的意思是他不肯告訴我他的工作是關(guān)于什么的。
