New Staff at Theatre劍橋雅思11-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、New Staff at Theatre聽力原文：

Hi.

Great to see you!

I'm Jody,and I'll be looking after both of you for the first month you're working here at the Amersham Theatre.

I'll tell you something about the theatre now,then take you to meet two of the other staff.

It's an old building,and it's been modernised several times.

In fact,as you can see,we're carrying out a major refurbishment at the moment.

The interior has just been repainted,and we're about to start on the exterior of the building-that'll be a big job.

The work's running over budget,so we've had to postpone installing an elevator.

]I hope you're happy running up and down stairs!

When the theatre was built,people were generally slimmer and shorter than now,and the seats were very close together.

(Q11-12)We've replaced them with larger seats,with more legroom.

This means fewer seats in total,but we've taken the opportunity to install seats that can easily be moved,to create different acting spaces.

(Q11-12)We've also turned a few storerooms over to other purposes,like using them for meetings.

We try hard to involve members of the public in the theatre.

(Q13-14)One way is by organising backstage tours,so people can be shown round the building and learn how a theatre operates.

These are proving very Popular.

What we're finding is that people want to have lunch or a cup of coffee while they're here,so we're looking into the possibility of opening a caféin due course.

(Q13-14)We have a bookshop,which specialises in books about drama,and that attracts plenty of customers.

Then there are two large rooms that will be decorated next month,and they'll be available for hire,for conferences and private functions,such as parties.

We're also considering hiring out costumes to amateur drama clubs.

Now I want to tell you about our workshops.

We recently started a programme of workshops that anyone can join.

Eventually we intend to run courses in acting,but we're waiting until we've got the right people in place as trainers.

That's proving more difficult than we'd expected!

There's a big demand to learn about the technical side of putting on a production,and(Q15-16)our lighting workshop has already started,with great success.

We're going to start one on sound next month.

A number of people have enquired about workshops on make-up,and that's something we're considering for the future.

(Q15-16)A surprise success is the workshop on making puppets-we happen to have someone working here who does it as a hobby,and she offered to run a workshop.

It was so popular we're now running them every month!

Now,a word about the layout of the building.

The auditorium,stage and dressing rooms for the actors are all below ground level.

Here on the ground floor we have most of the rooms that the public doesn't see.

The majority are internal,so they have windows in the roof to light them.

Standing here in the foyer,you're probably wondering why the box office isn't here,where the public would expect to find it.

Well,you might have noticed it on your way in-although it's part of this building,it's next door,with a separate entrance from the road.

For the theatre manager's office,you go across the foyer and through the double doors,turn right,and it's the room at the end of the corridor,with the door on the left.

The lighting box is where the computerised stage lighting is operated,and it's at the back of the building.

When you're through the double doors,turn left,turn right at the water cooler,and right again at the end.

It's the second room along that corridor.

The lighting box has a window into the auditorium,which of course is below us.

The artistic director's office is through the double doors,turn right,and it's the first room you come to on the right-hand side.

And finally,for the moment,the room where I'll take you next-the relaxation room.

So if you'd like to come with me...

二、New Staff at Theatre聽力中文翻譯：

你好

很高興見到你！

我是喬迪，你在阿默森劇院工作的第一個月我會照顧你們兩個。

我現(xiàn)在要告訴你一些關于劇院的情況，然后帶你去見另外兩位工作人員。

這是一座古老的建筑，經(jīng)過多次現(xiàn)代化改造。

事實上，正如你所看到的，我們目前正在進行一次重大整修。

內部剛剛重新粉刷過，我們即將開始建筑的外部——這將是一項艱巨的工作。

這項工作超出了預算，所以我們不得不推遲安裝電梯。

]我希望你能快樂地上下樓梯！

劇院建成時，人們一般都比現(xiàn)在苗條、矮小，座位也很近。

（Q11-12）我們已經(jīng)用更大的座椅取代了它們，并增加了腿部空間。

這意味著座位總數(shù)減少了，但我們利用這個機會安裝了易于移動的座位，以創(chuàng)造不同的表演空間。

（問題11-12）我們還將一些儲藏室改為其他用途，例如用于會議。

我們努力讓公眾參與劇院。

（問題13-14）一種方法是組織后臺參觀，這樣人們可以參觀大樓，了解劇院如何運作。

事實證明，這些都很受歡迎。

我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們想在這里吃午飯或喝杯咖啡，所以我們正在研究是否有可能在適當?shù)臅r候開一家咖啡館。

（問題13-14）我們有一家書店，專門經(jīng)營戲劇書籍，吸引了大量客戶。

還有兩個大房間將于下月裝修，可供出租，用于會議和私人活動，如聚會。

我們也在考慮向業(yè)余戲劇俱樂部出租服裝。

現(xiàn)在我想告訴你我們的研討會。

我們最近啟動了一個研討會計劃，任何人都可以參加。

最終，我們打算開設表演課程，但我們要等到找到合適的人作為培訓師。

事實證明，這比我們預期的要困難得多！

有一個很大的需求來學習制作的技術方面，并且（Q15-16）我們的照明車間已經(jīng)開始了，并取得了巨大的成功。

下個月我們將在sound上推出一款。

許多人詢問了化妝車間的情況，這是我們未來正在考慮的事情。

（問題15-16）木偶制作工作室取得了令人驚訝的成功——我們碰巧有人在這里工作，把木偶作為一種愛好，她主動提出開辦一個工作室。

它很受歡迎，我們現(xiàn)在每個月都在運行它們！

現(xiàn)在，談談大樓的布局。

演員的禮堂、舞臺和更衣室都在地下。

在一樓，我們有大多數(shù)公眾看不到的房間。

大多數(shù)都是內部的，所以他們在屋頂上有窗戶來照明。

站在這里的門廳里，你可能想知道為什么票房不在這里，公眾會期望在哪里找到它。

嗯，你可能在進去的路上注意到了它——雖然它是這座建筑的一部分，但它就在隔壁，從道路上有一個單獨的入口。

去劇院經(jīng)理辦公室，你穿過門廳，穿過雙門，向右拐，這是走廊盡頭的房間，門在左邊。

照明箱是操作電腦化舞臺照明的地方，它位于大樓的后面。

穿過雙開門后，左轉，在水冷卻器處右轉，最后再右轉。

這是沿著走廊的第二個房間。

燈箱有一扇通向禮堂的窗戶，當然在我們下面。

藝術總監(jiān)的辦公室穿過雙門，向右拐，這是你在右手邊來到的第一個房間。

最后，現(xiàn)在，我將帶你去下一個房間——放松室。

所以如果你愿意和我一起去。

五、New Staff at Theatre聽力答案解析

11-12.A B。題干中two changes為核心名詞，so far,during the refurbishment為主要限定詞，確定答題關鍵為兩個主要的變化。錄音中首先提到we are carrying out a major

refurbishment at the moment,確定題目位置，注意后面答案即將出現(xiàn)。首先提到interior和exterior，題目中無相關選項，故排除。接著提到elevator，但因資金問題需要postpone（推遲），故也排除。接著提到the seats…replaced them with larger seats,with more legroom…we’ve taken the opportunity to install seats that can easily be moved，符合選項B。之后提到turned a few storerooms over to other purposes，符合A選項。故確定答案為A,B。

13-14.B D。題干中two facilities為核心名詞，currently offer to the public為主要限定詞，確定答題關鍵點為向公眾提供的兩個設施。錄音中首先提到we try hard to involve members of the public in the theatre確定題目位置。緊接著提到one way is by organising backstage tours，確定B選項。后面提到a café，但是說looking into the possibility，也就是說a café不是現(xiàn)在提供的，故排除E選項。之后提到bookshop時說到attracts plenty of customers，符合題干，即D為答案。最后提到的two large rooms，雖然是要出租，但是要下個月才能裝修，故排除A,C。

15-16.C E。題干中two workshops為核心名詞，currently offer為主要限定詞。錄音中提到Now I want to tell you about our workshops，確定題目位置，注意后續(xù)選項關鍵詞。首先提到acting，但是說we are waiting，故排除B。接著提到our lighting workshop has already started，符合題目關鍵信息，故選E。后面提到sound，但是next month不符合題干，故排除A。同時提到了workshops on make-up，但是for the future不符合題干，故排除D。最后提到workshop on making puppets，錄音為it was so popular we are now running them every month，故答案為C。

17.G。通過選項可知需要確定box office的位置。錄音中提到standing here in the foyer，確定地圖起點為foyer，并且錄音中提到box office并不在foyer，從而引出it’s next door,with a separate entrance from the road（在馬路邊有一個獨立的入口）。確定G為答案。

18.D。theatre manager’s office為答案定位詞。錄音中聽到go across the foyer and through the double doors,turn right,and it’s the room at the end of the corridor,with the door on the left（穿過大廳，出了雙開門，向右轉，它就在走廊的盡頭，門在左手邊）。確定位置D為答案。

19.B。聽到錄音中提及l(fā)ighting box確定題目位置，注意方位詞。錄音中提到y(tǒng)ou’re through the double doors,turn left,turn right at the water cooler,and right again at the end.It’s the second room along that corridor（出了雙開門，向左轉，在飲水機那里向右轉，到了盡頭再向右轉，它是那條走廊的第二個房間）。確定B為答案。

20.F。選項中artistic director’s office為直接定位詞，聽到定位詞后，再次聽到through double doors（出了雙開門）定位，后面提到turn right,the first room on the right-hand side（向右轉，右手邊的第一個房間）。確定F為答案。
