英语口语:等另一只鞋掉下来

在生活中我们经常会经历焦急等待的时候,可能是等待一次重要的考试的结果,也可能是等待别人做出的什么重要的决定。英语中有很多短语描述事情“悬而未决”,今天我们来学几个。

1. wait for the other shoe to drop

这个短语按照字面意思来解释就是“等另一只鞋子掉下来”。这个习惯用语可能来自这样的情景:一位旅馆客人正在迷迷糊糊进入梦乡时,被头顶上沉闷的一声响惊醒了。他回过神来一想,哦,一定是楼上的旅客上床脱鞋一只皮鞋掉地板上的声音,于是他再也合不上眼了,屏息静气地等待另一只鞋再掉下来,才能安心入睡。Wait for the other shoe to drop可以引申为“提心吊胆地等待最后结果”。例如:

Business is bad so the firm has to fire 100 employees. They've already announced the first 50, and now the rest of us are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

业务不景气,所以公司不得不辞退100名雇员。他们已经宣布了首批五十名解雇人员的名单,目前我们留下来的这些人都在提心吊胆地等待最后结果。

2. the jury is still out

美国的司法程序是陪审人员组成的陪审团须列席法庭,在听完原告和被告的证词之后他们要退出法庭商议被告是否有罪。作出裁决后,陪审团回法庭由法官宣读他们的裁决。所以the jury is still out,就是陪审团还在庭外商议,尚未作出谁是谁非的决断,可以引申为“结果还未见分晓”。例如:

Well, the first sales figures from New York look good. But we're waiting to hear the figures from Chicago and Los Angeles, so I have to tell you the jury is still out.

第一批来自纽约的销售数据看起来不错,但是他们还在等待芝加哥和洛杉矶两地的数据,所以目前(整体销售情况如何)还没有定论。

3. not over till the fat lady sings

这话按照字面意思来说就是“不到那位胖女士唱的时候就还没完”。古典大歌剧的格局比较严谨,往往以女主角的唱段来结束全剧。唱主角的歌剧演员虽然并非都是大胖子,但是一出歌剧长达几个小时,当主角的得从头到尾一连几小时地唱,要是没有健壮的体格是难以胜任的。她们多半得比一般人吃得多,体力才支撑得住。所以挑大梁的歌剧演员常会发福。这样一来歌剧就往往是一位胖女士在最后压台了。

第一个使用not over till the fat lady sings这句话的是华盛顿职业篮球队的一位教练。十多年前这个球队在参加锦标赛中一度处于劣势。按照规定在那一系列比赛中第一个打赢四场比赛的球队可以得到冠军,但是华盛顿队却输了两场,一场也没赢。然而华盛顿篮球队的教练并没因此而打退堂鼓。他接受记者采访的时候表示,他的球队还是大有希望。他说: "It's not over until the fat lady sings." 这个习惯用语从此广为流传,如今不但应用在体育界,也用在争名逐利的商界,意为“事情还没定局,仍然有得胜的转机”,这话往往用在形势似乎不好的时候,表示对于成功仍抱着乐观的希望。例如:

You guys know we're only two games behind the leader with eight games left to play. We still have a chance to catch up: remember it's not over till the fat lady sings.

要知道我们比领先球队仅仅落后两场球,而且我们还有八场比赛要打。所以我们有希望后来居上。记住还没到定局的时候呢!

练习听写、口语和听力不得不说的方法

虽然素材可以比较一致,但在练习听写、口语以及听力等方面时采取的方法却不尽相同。

一、听写

听写练习主要用于短期考试需求、以后信息采集、口译员素质培养等目的,其方法分为多个步骤。

1、中文复述

如果基础较为薄弱,可以先进行句子练习,但并不推荐从词汇开始,因为很多词汇本身有多个含义,不在篇章中无法体现其意思本身,另外,即使单个词汇不认识,从篇章中能推测其含义也是在理解层面上可以接受的。如果基础较好,可以篇章为单位进行(类似中高级口译要求)

方法非常简单,在听完一句或一个篇章之后,用中文对刚才所听到的内容进行复述,将复述内容书写下来。如此重复3-5次,以信息补全的方式进行完善。5遍之后与原文意义进行匹配与比较。通过该练习可以增加短期记忆能力,并对把握主要大意等方面有很好的作用。与此同时,还可以发现自己有哪些词或词组尚不熟练(即那些5遍后仍未出现在自己复述内容之中的部分),从而针对性地解决。能较好完成这一步的同学,往往在听力考试选择题型的考察中立于不败之地,因为对段落的基本内容可以把握到位。

2、英文复述

方法同上,唯一的区别是在同样的时间内,以英语复述形式来书写,这练习了同学的瞬时翻译能力,在以后工作中,对英语信息的采集会起到很大的作用。同样也能使同学了解到自己的互译薄弱点:有时将一句英语句子的意思用中文表达下来并不很难,但却会发现,要翻回到英语却有较大的难度。主要是同学习惯了英译中的思维模式,而很多词或词组无法实际运用,只能在看到后知道意思,却无法在自己的语言中成为积极词汇或词组,这些问题可以通过这个练习来发现。最后,在书写过程中,也能发现自己的语法问题、词汇拼写问题等顺带存在的小问题。

3、原文听写

方法于之上类似,但要求能按原文一字一句写下,这对于英语能力较差,但词汇拼写过关的同学来说无疑是一帖良药。因为有的同学通常很难听懂原文内容,但却能一一将词写对,这在应付考试方面和信息采集方面却也不失为一种方法。该练习能对自己不熟悉的词汇和词组一一把握,因为要求是原文听写,所以限制了词汇与词组的运用。另外对速记能力的培养效果也显而易见。但原文听写不适宜用过长的篇章,毕竟人的短暂记忆能力有限,所以过长的文章要求逐字相同听写不符合人类本身的特质。

学习英语口语的六大技巧

很多人有个误解,认为只要托福、GRE考好了就行了。其实不是这么回事。当你的飞机降落在美国那块土地上的时候,你有没有机会在美国生存、发展下去,关键是要看你有没有机会去表达自己,和别人交流。如果你学的是哑巴英语,到了美国你将暗无天日。而我们目前的大学英语的教育是有缺陷的。现存的各个大学的英语角就我个人认为,也是有问题的,虽然大家都很有热情,往往谈到半夜12点。由于大家都是同胞,彼此能相互理解各自的中国英语,你点头,我也点头。但一碰到一个native american(地道的美国人)时,交流同样的东西,就听不懂对方在说什么了。其实我们学一种语言,最重要的就是利用这种语言的某些部分来进行交流。communication is our purpose(交流是目的),而不是语言本身。

我们的英语教育就是恨不得把语言的大海完全笼罩在自己的怀抱里。其实知识是无涯的。我们往往把英语仅仅当作一门知识在学,从小学到大学,到最后,还是不会说英语。为什么我们花了十几年、二十年的时间学了一大堆我们在实际生活中根本永不上的东西。我们究竟应该用什么方法能使我们在最短的时间内掌握英语的交流呢?语言的交流与掌握大量的词汇、句型、语法是两回事。举两个例子:有一次,有一个中国学生陪一个美国人去长城,在长城上,老外突然对哪个学生说:excuse me,may I go someway(请问洗手间在哪儿).中国学生在学校里英语的句法学得相当不错,听力也挺棒的,马上听明白了老外的话,心想,长城都来了,哪儿不能去啊!于是说:yes ,you can go anyway(请随意)(笑声)。这一句话,差点把老外吓晕了。其实在这个特定的语言环境中,老外的“someway”指的是厕所,而英语“娴熟”的中国学生却让老外随地大小便(全场哄堂大笑)。另一个例子:在大学校园里,流行“五讲、四美、三热爱”,中国人把其翻译成:“five talks ,four beauty ,three lovers”.美国人一听迷惑了“five talks”敢情是谈了五个,“four beauty”敢情是谈了五个,其中有四个是美人,那么“three lovers”一定是爱上了四个美人中的三个(笑声不断)。

其实,就语言本身的知识来说,我们已经过关了,而且我们所学的英语知识全是标准的英语。我们缺少的就是在交流中来运用英语,只有在交流中我们才能与对方进行思维密码的相互破译。同样的话在不同的语言交流环境中所表达的意思是不一样的。要想真正领悟对方的意思,必须与对方进行心与心的交流。作为一个中国学生,如果不根本改变自己的思维结构,从而迎合美国人的思维结构和习惯,依然保持自己中国式的思维习惯,那么他学的英语就毫无价值。那么我们该怎么办呢?我建议要把我们学习的目标收缩,把追求大而广的英语知识转化为追求一种定量性的技巧,我认为有六种技巧,是美国人和美国人之间交流的关键性东西,如果我们能掌握这六种技巧,就可以更好地理解美国人的思维,从而学好口语。

第一,如何用英文简单界定一个东西的技巧。

美国人和美国人交谈80%是想告诉对方what is a book 。我们中国人从小学到大学的课本尽管词汇难度不断加深,但思维逻辑结构却只停留在一个水平上。中国人常说Where is the book?很少有人说What is a book?而美国的小学生就开始问:What is the book?这种Where is the book?只是描述阶段,连哑巴也能做到。但是我想连大学生也很难回答What is a book?因为中国传统英语教学模式没有教会学生表达思想的技巧。

第二,如果已经学会界定,但理解还有偏差,那就要训练how to explain things in different ways.

一种表达方式对方不懂,美国人会寻找另一种表达方式最终让对方明白。因为事物就一个,但表达它的语言符号可能会很多。比如水,世界上就这一个事物,但却有多种符号来表达它。如果一个人懂8种语言,那他在世界上被别人理解的机会就会大得多。用汉语说"水"别人不懂,用德语说别人也不懂,但用英语说water,别人可能就懂了。这就要多做替换练习。传统的教学方法也做替换练习,但这种替换不是真替换,只是语言层面的替换,而不是思维层面的替换。比如,I love you,按中国的替换方法就把you换成her,my mother,them 等,这种替换和小学生练描红没有什么区别。这种替换没有对智力构成挑战,没有启动思维。换到最后也不知道到底在love 谁,现实生活中也不能这么随便love(笑声)。这种替换句子的基本结构没变,我听不懂I love you,肯定也听不懂I love her。如果替换为I want to kiss you.I want to hug you.I've a crush on you.I will show my heart to you等,或者给对方讲电影《泰坦尼克》,告诉对方that is love,这样一来对方可能就明白了。这才叫真正的替换。

也就是说用一种不同的方式表达同一个意思,或者对方听不清楚,举一个简单易懂的例子来表达,直到对方明白。

对,比如爱因斯坦讲相对论,他用科学术语讲,除了科学家之外是没人听得懂的,所

以爱因斯坦就用一个通俗的例子把相对论讲了出来。他说,什么叫相对论呢?两个lovers 在一起,一小时相当于一分钟,而两个仇人呆在一起,一分钟相当于一小时,就这是相对论。他这样一讲,我想没有人不会明白相对论的。

第三,我们必须学会美国人怎样描述东西。

从描述上来讲,由于中美的文化不同会产生很大的差异。我们描述东西无外乎把它放在时间和空间两个坐标上去描述。但美国人对空间的描述总是由我及外,由里及表。而中国人正好相反。美国人说"我向雪山走去",中国人就会说"我从雪山走来"。时间上来说,中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述。我们描述一个东西突然停住时,住往最后说的那个地方是最重要的。我们听评书常说,欲知后事好何,请听下回分解,中国人很认可这种压轴戏、抖包袱式的方式,而美国人听到这里可能会把收音机砸了:我听的就是what happened,但发生了什么我不知道,还要让我下回再听(笑声),岂有此理!因为美国人在时间上描述时先把最重要的东西说出来,然后再说陪衬的东西。只有发生悲剧性的事件,美国人才在前面加上铺垫。这就是中国人和美国人在时间描述上的巨大差别。

第四,要学会使用重要的美国习语。

因为任何语言除了标准化的东西以外,不容易学、易造成理解困惑的东西就是"习语"。比如北京人说“盖了帽了”,老外永远也理解不了,这就是习语。所以和美国人交流时,能适当地运用美国习语,他马上就会觉得很亲切,也很爱和你交流。那么什么是习语,我认为就是每个单词你都认识,但把它们组合在一起,你就不知道是什么意思了。

第五,学会两种语言的传译能力。

这是衡量口语水平的一个最重要标准。因为英语不是我们的母语,我们天生就有自己的母语。很多人都想学好外语必须丢掉自己的母语,这是不对的。因为我就是一个例子,我不仅汉语没有说得越来越糟,而且英语也没有说得越来越糟。

第六,要有猜测能力。

为什么美国人和美国人、中国人和中国人之间交流很少产生岐义?就是因为他们之间能"猜测"。我们的教学不提倡"猜测"。但我觉得猜测对学好美国口语很重要。在交流中,有一个词你没有听懂,你不可能马上去查字典,这时候就需要猜测来架起一座桥梁来弥补这个缺口,否则交流就会中断。

中国人学习口语讲究背诵,背句型、背语调,这样导致的结果就是很多人讲口语的时候讲着讲着眼就开始向上翻(笑声),实际上是在记忆中寻找曾经背过的东西。如果他要是能猜测的话,我想也就不会出现这种现象。

以上就是我所说的学会用美国人思维的六个技巧。中国学生如果能做到这六点,用很短的时间肯定能学好口语。

再说说英语语音的问题吧。我们中国人不需要钻牛角尖,一定追求发音像一个native(本地人),只要我们的发音不至于让对方产生误解,其实就可以了。我们在平时,不需要迷信什么科学方法,只需要记住一点:模仿。但一定要模仿标准的英语或美语。在模仿的基础上,每天,我们每天保持1个小时的自我口语练习,这个练习必须假想一个双向交流的场合,即彷佛有人与你交流一样。

最后,讲讲英语的用气问题。我们在发音时,尽量气运丹田,而避免用肺发音,这样的结果将使得你的英语发音洪亮圆润。

英语口语联系资料

Unit 1 Learning a foreign language is usually tough, but knowing the basic greetings is a polite and simple thing to do. It shows that you have an interest in the culture. Each countries has its own customs and ways of saying hello. For example, British people like me greet each other by talking about the weather, while in China they will say你吃了吗?The most common form of greetings in many countries when you are introduced to a new friend is a handshake. But shaking hands is rare in Japan. The Japanese greet each other with a short bow and not returning someone’s bow is considered very rude. The degree of the bow is directly related to the difference in status between the two individuals. Greetings between friends are just a nod of the head, while a low-ranking worker should greet a superior with a long and deep bow. Also, a great first impression can be important, and once made it’s very difficult to change. To make a good impression, you need to act as if you are meeting a good friend. This is a pretty good starting point for developing a good relationship. In daily life, we also need to be careful about first meetings. For example, someone may phone you to ask for your personal information. You need to be cautious, because they may ask you for this in order to steal your email address, your money, your credit, or your identity.

口头作文话题 [Life] family, school life, future plan, delicious food, shopping, health, hobby, travelling [Opinion] [周记] I’m an 18-year old middle school student. I have been busy with my study and seldom helped my parents with the housework. Feeling quite sorry for that, I begin to think about what to do to help. Last Sunday, when my parents went out shopping, I suddenly got an idea: why not give the rooms a thorough cleaning? Firstly I collected all the books, newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place. Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture. After that, I swept and mopped the floors. At this very moment, my parents came back and were quite surprised to see all the rooms tidy and floors shining. My mother gave me a hug and I could see satisfaction in her eyes. Tired as I was, I never felt so happy. [介绍中国习俗] The Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.

大学英语口语考试试题-10个口语话题(期末)

Topics for Oral test 1. Which great leader do you admire most? What qualities did/does he/she have? bill gates 2. Which do you cherish more, your friendship with a good friend or your romantic relationship? obviously, friend is easy to make, but lover is kind of hard to seek for. Since relationship between friends might be not that close compared to romantic relationship, I will probably take it serious and cherish this sweet relationship. Also, I believe that my friends will support me and our relationship won’t be tense and freezing because of this. As the Chinese saying goes, once you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you may leave your friends out of your mind. I partly agree this, and when I fall in love, especially at the very beginning, I think I will cherish it more than friendship. 3. What factors would you consider first if you were to find a job (even a part-time job)? I will first consider whether this company and the offered position is high potential. I think high potential is a quality that is vital for the company’s future development and its personnel’s self improvement. Every one need a room to promote and realize one’s self-value. Another factor I concern is—its location. I’d like to work and live in big cities because big cities offer so many opportunities and a higher salary while small cities can’t. 4. Whom do you usually turn to when in trouble, vour parents or your friends? They know me better than anyone else and their vision is wide, their thoughts are mature.

英语口语面试自我介绍的基础知识 【自我介绍的基本知识】: “如何作自我介招?”这个问题看上去似乎很简单,人人都会。其实并不然,有很多人说的并不是很理想的。主要的现象有几下几点: 1、不知从何说起。有很多同学当听到老师问:“can you make a self-introduction?”时,首先迟疑几秒,然后怔怔的看着:“老师说什么呀?”这一类算是“无准备型”。自我介绍是你与人打交道,参加各类口语考试,职场面试不可或缺的一部分,同时也是非常重要的一部分。在面试时,我们经常会被要求自我介绍,所谓自我介绍,就是把自已介绍给出别人,以使别人认识自已,所以恰到好处的自我介绍,可以大大提高面试的好感。 2、缺乏逻辑性。还有一些同学在作自我介绍时,要么只说两句话名字,年龄;要么夸夸其谈但缺乏逻辑性。别看简简单单的一个自我介绍有时也能反映出一个人的逻辑思维和做事态度。 3、缺乏幽默感。幽默的开场除了可以营造出活泼和睦的气氛外,还能给对方留下深刻的第一印象,即使对象是以建立了朋友关系或同事关系的外国人,在酒会或聚餐等各式场合,同样可以用诙谐的方式来表现自我,使你和他们之间的关系达到更圆满的程度。 面试自我介绍应大体包括本人的姓名、工作、籍贯、学历、兴趣以及与交往对象的某些熟人的关系等。如:“我的名字叫王光,是里润公司副总裁。10年前,我和您先生是大学同学。”其中本人姓名、供职的单位及部门、担负的职务或从事的具体工作等三项,又叫工作式自我介绍内容的三要素,通常缺一不可。 ①姓名。应当一口报出,不可有姓无名,或有名无姓。 ②单位。单位及部门,如可能最好全部报出,具体工作部门有时可以暂不报出。 ③职务。担负的职务或从事的具体工作,有职务最好报出职务,职务较低或者无职务,则可报出目前所从事的具体工作。 举个例子,可以说:“我叫唐果,是大秦广告公司的公关部经理。” 【应聘者具体应注意以下几点】: 1、接到面试通知后,最好在家打个自我介绍的草稿,然后试着讲述几次,感觉一下。 2、自我介绍时首先应礼貌地做一个极简短的开场白,并向所有的面试人员(如果有多个面试考官的话)示意,如果面试考官正在注意别的东西,可以稍微等一下,等他注意转过来后才开始。 3、注意掌握时间,如果面试考官规定了时间,一定要注意时间的掌握,既不能超时太长,也不能过于简短。 4、介绍的内容不宜太多的停留在诸如姓名、工作经历、时间等东西上,因为这些在你的简历表上已经有了,你应该更多的谈一些跟你所应聘职位有关的工作经历和所取得的成绩,以证明你确实有能力胜任你所应聘的工作职位。 5、在作自我简介时,眼睛千万不要东张西望,四处游离,显得漫不经心的样子,这会给人做事随便、注意力不集中的感觉。眼睛最好要多注视面试考官,但也不能长久注视目不转睛。再就是尽量少加一些手的辅助动作,因为这毕竟不是在作讲演,保持一种得体的姿态也是很重要的。 6、在自我介绍完后不要忘了道声谢谢,有时往往会因此影响考官对你的印象。 初学英语的各位人士,可以学着用一下;对于自认为用英语作自我介绍已经易如反掌的英语高手,不妨在平时也试试使自我介绍增添一些新意:) 1、以星座为话题做自我介绍 2、以性格、职业为话题做自我介绍 i?m a great salesman. i could sell a knockoff windows 2000 to bill gates. 我
