我听力比较烂(两个月前连VOA慢速都听不出来...),有些感觉TPO听力稿有问题的地方,我给出自己听出的东西,它们也很可能有错误。如下: 1.
TPO1裏面,關於Contemporary Art的段子里,這麼一句(Script.pdf中原句):
The colors aren't quite realistic. The sky is kind of, well, in a natural...pinkish yellow.
注意到那個aren't,我沒聽出來否定,看了script之後,我再仔細聽,忽然發現natural應該是nonnatural。而且,確實這樣的話,這句意思上也更協調。所以似乎是nonnatural才對。這樣的話那句應該是:
The colors aren't quite realistic. The sky is kind of, well, a nonnatural...pinkish yellow.
2.
TPO7的script里,有一處寫的是 Work pilling
我聽應該是 We're compiling
3.
TPO7的script里
Eric: No, that sounds like cool. I would like to see what they are writing about.
那个like不对,应该是kinda(或者是kind of,反正这两个词一个意思,不过我很难通过听区分开它们)。
还有TPO7里的De Adams,实际都应该是Dean Adams吧!
同样是TPO7里的,in (the) south of America,我听都是in south America。
TPO7里面,下边这句完全看不懂
The dramatic devises use here word actually anything new,
感觉应该是
The dramatic devices used here weren't actually anything new
后面那个我知道听的对不对,不过前面的dramatic devices才对(这个好像是听写稿子的人的笔误),这个概念字典里没查到,wikipedia里有literature devices这个概念,并且其中有一句Note: In the context of a play, literary devices are referred to as dramatic devices.作者: sandwraith 时间: 2010-6-4 20:50:23
Stu: Hi, I’d like to drop off my graduation form; I understand you need this in order to process my diploma. Reg: Ok, I will take that. Um, before you leave, let's me check our computer. Uh, looks like you are OK for graduation, and, uh ,actually I am getting a warning fly on your academic record here. Stu: Really? Reg: Yeah. Let's see what's what(google能查到这句话,虽然我一开始感觉这句有点怪). O ... Ok, are you familiar with your graduation requirements? Stu: Uh, I think so. Reg: Then you know you need 48 credits in your major field to graduate and at least 24 credits in(没听到这个in,但是感觉又应该有) the intermediate level or higher. Also, after your second year, you have to meet with your department chair to outline a plan for the rest of your time here. In the past, we also issue letters before students’ final year began to let them know what they needed to take in the final year to be OK, but we don't do that anymore. Stu: I definitely met with my chair person 2 years ago; he told me that I need 8 more courses at the intermediate level or higher in the last 2 years to be OK. So I am not sure what the problem is, I make sure I got those credits. Reg: Unfortunately, the computer is usually pretty reliable, so I am not sure what's going on here. Stu: It could be that I have taken 2 basic courses but coupled both of them with the field experiences. Reg: What do you mean? Stu: Well, I could only take intro courses because there were no intermediate level courses available for those particular topics. My chair person told me that if I did the independent field researches in addition to the assigned work in each course; they would count as the intermediate level courses. My classmates, um, or some of my classmates, did this for an easy way to meet their intermediate course requirement, but I did it to get the kind of depth in those topics I was going for. As I(没听到这个I,不过不确定) turned out, I was really enjoy the field work, which I(感觉这个有问题,但是没听出来应该是什么) supplement just sitting and listening the lectures. Reg: I am sure that’s true, but the computer's(?) still showing the miss basic level courses despite the field work. Stu: Uh, I'm not sure what to do then, I mean, should I cancel my graduation party? Reg: No, no reason to get worried like that, just contact your chair person immediately, ok? Tell him to call me as soon as possible so that we can verify your field work arrangement and certify those credits right away. It's not like there is an actual deadline to date you anything. But if more than a few weeks go by, we might have a real problem that would difficult to fix in time for you to graduate. In fact, there probably would be nothing we could do. Stu: I'll get on that.作者: sandwraith 时间: 2010-6-4 21:22:38
