Field Trip Proposal劍橋雅思8-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Field Trip Proposal聽力原文：

TUTOR:Right,Sandra.

You wanted to see me to get some feedback on your group’s proposal.

The one you’re submitting for the Geography Society field trip competition.

I’ve had a look through your proposal and I think it’s a really good choice.

In fact,I only have a few things to say about it,but even in an outline document like this you really have to be careful to avoid typos and problems with layout in the proposal,and even in the contents page.

So read it through carefully before submitting it,okay?

SANDRA:Will do.

TUTOR:And I’ve made a few notes on the proposal about things which could have been better sequenced.

SANDRA:Okay.

TUTOR:As for the writing itself,I’ve annotated the proposal as and where I thought it could be improved.

Generally speaking,I feel you’ve often used complex structures and long sentences for the sake of it and as a consequence...

although your paragraphing and inclusion of subheadings help…

it’s quite hard to follow your train of thought at times.

So cut them down a bit,can you?

SANDRA:Really?

TUTOR:Yes.

And don’t forget simple formatting like numbering.

SANDRA:Didn’t I use page numbers?

TUTOR:I didn’t mean that.

Look,you've remembered to include headers andfooters,which is good,but listing ideas clearly is important.

Number them or use bullet points,which is even clearer.

Then you’ll focus the reader on your main points.

I thought your suggestion to go to the Navajo Tribal Park was a very good idea.

SANDRA:I’ve always wanted to go there.

My father was a great fan of cowboy films and the Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics,many of which were shot there.

As a consequence,it feels very familiar to me and it’s awesome both geographically and visually,so it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit.

The subsequent research I did and the online photographs made me even keener.

TUTOR:Interesting.

Right,let's look at the content of your proposal now.

SANDRA:Did you find it comprehensive enough?

TUTOR:Well,yes and no.

You've listed several different topics on your contents page,but I'm not sure they're all relevant.

SANDRA:No?

Well,I thought that from the perspective of a field trip,one thing I needed(Q25-Q27)to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs themselves.

The way they tower up from the flat landscape is just amazing.

The fact that the surrounding softer rocks were eroded by wind and rain,leaving these huge outcrops high above the plain.

It's hardly surprising that tourists flock to see the area.

TUTOR:Well,yes,I'd agree with including those points...

SANDRA:And then the fact that it's been home to native American Navajos and all the social history that goes with that.

The hardships they endured trying to save their territory from the invading settlers.

Their culture is so rich—all those wonderful stories.

TUTOR:Well,I agree it's interesting,but it’s not immediately relevant to your proposal,Sandra,so at this stage,I suggest you focus on other considerations.

(Q25-Q27)I think an indication of what the students on the trip could actually do when they get there should be far more central,so that certainly needs to be included and to be expanded upon.

(Q25-Q27)And I'd like to see something about the local wildlife,and vegetation too,not that I imagine there's much to see.

Presumably the tourist invasion hasn't helped.

SANDRA:Okay,I'll do some work on those two areas as well.

But you’ve right,there's not much apart from some very shallow-rooted species.

Although it’s cold and snowy there in the winter,the earth is baked so hard in the summer sun that rainwater can't penetrate.

So it's a case of flood or drought,really.

TUTOR:So,I understand.

Now,before we look at everything in more detail,I've got a few factual questions for you.

It would be a good idea to include the answers in your finished proposal,because they're missing from your draft.

SANDRA:Fine.

TUTOR:So,you mentioned the monoliths and the spires,which was good,but what area does the tribal park cover?

Do you know?

SANDRA:12,000 hectares,and the plain is at about 5,850 metres above sea level.

TUTOR:Larger than I expected.

Okay.

Where's the nearest accommodation?

That's a practical detail that you haven't included.

Have you done any research on that?

SANDRA:Yes.

There's nowhere to slay in the park itself,but there's an old trading post called Goulding quite near.

All kinds of tours start from Goulding,too.

TUTOR:What kind of tours?

SANDRA:Well,the most popular are in four-wheel drive jeeps-but I wouldn't recommend hiring those.

I think the best way to appreciate the area would be to hire horses instead and trek around on those.

Biking is not allowed and it's impossible to drive around the area in private vehicles.

The tracks are too rough.

TUTOR:Okay,lastly,what else is worth visiting there?

SANDRA:There are several caves,but I haven't looked into any details.

I'll find out about them.

TUTOR:Okay,good.

Now what I'd like to know is...

二、Field Trip Proposal聽力中文翻譯：

導師：對，桑德拉。

你想見我，就你小組的提案獲得一些反饋。

你提交給地理學會野外旅行比賽的那個。

我已經(jīng)看過你的建議了，我認為這是一個非常好的選擇。

事實上，我只有幾句話要說，但即使是在這樣的大綱文檔中，你也必須小心避免在提案中，甚至在內容頁中出現(xiàn)拼寫錯誤和布局問題。

所以在提交之前請仔細閱讀，好嗎？

桑德拉：可以。

導師：我在提案上做了一些筆記，關于本可以更好地排序的事情。

桑德拉：好的。

導師：至于寫作本身，我已經(jīng)在建議中注明了我認為可以改進的地方。

總的來說，我覺得你經(jīng)常使用復雜的結構和長句，因此。。。

雖然你的段落和副標題有助于…

有時很難遵循你的思路。

所以你能把它們剪下來一點嗎？

桑德拉：真的嗎？

導師：是的。

不要忘記簡單的格式，比如編號。

桑德拉：我沒有用頁碼嗎？

導師：我不是那個意思。

聽著，你記得要包括頁眉和頁腳，這很好，但清楚地列出想法很重要。

給它們編號或使用要點，這更清楚。

然后你會讓讀者關注你的主要觀點。

我覺得你建議去納瓦霍部落公園是個好主意。

桑德拉：我一直想去那里。

我父親是牛仔電影和《狂野西部》的超級粉絲，所以我不得不去看所有的史詩，其中很多都是在那里拍攝的。

因此，我對它感覺非常熟悉，無論在地理位置還是視覺上都非常棒，所以它是我一直想去的地方。

后來我做的研究和網(wǎng)上的照片讓我更加興奮。

導師：很有趣。

好的，現(xiàn)在讓我們看看你提案的內容。

桑德拉：你覺得它夠全面嗎？

導師：嗯，是和否。

您在內容頁上列出了幾個不同的主題，但我不確定它們是否都相關。

桑德拉：沒有？

嗯，我認為從實地考察的角度來看，我需要關注的一件事（Q25-Q27）是砂巖高原和懸崖本身。

他們從平坦的風景中拔地而起的方式令人驚嘆。

事實上，周圍較軟的巖石被風雨侵蝕，使這些巨大的露頭高出平原。

游客蜂擁而至參觀該地區(qū)不足為奇。

導師：嗯，是的，我同意把這些觀點包括在內。。。

桑德拉：還有一個事實，那就是這里曾經(jīng)是美國土著納瓦霍人的家園，以及所有與之相關的社會歷史。

他們?yōu)榱藦娜肭值亩ň诱呤种姓茸约旱念I土而忍受的苦難。

他們的文化如此豐富——所有這些精彩的故事。

導師：嗯，我同意這很有趣，但這與你的建議并不直接相關，桑德拉，所以在這個階段，我建議你把注意力集中在其他方面。

（Q25-Q27）我認為旅行中的學生在到達那里后實際可以做什么的指示應該更加集中，因此這當然需要包括在內并加以擴展。

（Q25-Q27）我想看看當?shù)氐囊吧鷦游锖椭脖?，但我想不會有太多可看的?/p>

想必游客的入侵并沒有起到什么作用。

桑德拉：好的，我也會在這兩個方面做一些工作。

但你是對的，除了一些根莖很淺的物種之外，沒有太多其他的。

雖然那里冬天很冷，而且下雪，但夏天的太陽曬得地球很硬，雨水無法穿透。

所以這是一個洪水或干旱的情況，真的。

導師：我明白了。

現(xiàn)在，在我們更詳細地了解一切之前，我有幾個事實問題要問你。

在完成的提案中包含答案是個好主意，因為你的草稿中沒有答案。

桑德拉：很好。

導師：那么，你提到了巨石和尖塔，這很好，但是部落公園覆蓋了什么區(qū)域？

你知道嗎？

桑德拉：12000公頃，平原海拔約5850米。

導師：比我想象的要大。

可以

最近的住處在哪里？

這是一個你沒有包括在內的實際細節(jié)。

你對此做過研究嗎？

桑德拉：是的。

公園里沒有殺人的地方，但附近有一個叫古爾丁的舊交易站。

各種旅游都是從古爾丁開始的。

導師：什么樣的旅游？

桑德拉：嗯，最受歡迎的是四輪驅動吉普車，但我不建議雇傭那些。

我認為欣賞這一地區(qū)最好的方式是租匹馬，然后騎著這些馬到處走。

不允許騎自行車，也不可能乘坐私家車在該地區(qū)周圍行駛。

履帶太粗糙了。

導師：好的，最后，還有什么值得參觀的地方嗎？

桑德拉：有好幾個洞穴，但我還沒有調查任何細節(jié)。

我會找到他們的。

導師：好的，很好。

現(xiàn)在我想知道的是。

五、Field Trip Proposal聽力答案解析

21.A原文could have been better sequenced和備選項中的reordered是同義表達，意思都是重新排序。

22.C原文中的cut them down和shorten her sentences的意思都是使句子簡短。同義轉換是選擇題的精髓，只有出現(xiàn)同義轉換的表達方式才是正確選項。

23.A轉折詞but之后出現(xiàn)的信息往往是正確答案。此題的答題點就是出現(xiàn)在轉折詞之后，因而不難判斷出答案。

24.B原文My father was a great fan of cowboy films and the Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics...的意思是我爸爸是西部牛仔電影的忠實粉絲，因此我看了所有講述西部故事的電影。通過這句話，考生可以判斷出答案選擇B。

25.B原文...what the students on the trip could actually do when they get there should be far more central...的意思是學生們能夠在旅行中做什么是更為重要的事情。根據(jù)這個句子，可以得知答案選擇B。

26.C原文中提到...one thing I needed to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs themselves.（我想關注的是高原的砂巖以及懸崖本身。），那么從中可以看出說話人是想關注geographical features（地理上的特點）。

27.F local wildlife是animal life的同義表達。而vegetation是plant的同義表達。

28.12,000原文中直接提到了12,000 hectares。

29.horses原文中先是提到了jeeps，但是又立即否定了這個建議。后來才出現(xiàn)了...the best way to appreciate the area would be to hire horses...在考試中，凡是提到the best way to do something...這個固定句型的時候，往往會有答案包含在其中。

30.caves在問句之后出現(xiàn)的答案是非常重要的，此題中先是提到“還有什么是值得參觀的？”然后回答“有一些洞穴”。
