很多英語學習者只是通過反復模 信這段自述就在發(fā)音上獲得了巨大的進步和成就感。請模仿范例,在音詞 下面標注音標,爭取一段文章突破音標關!
Hi, this is Li Yang.I graduated from Lanzhou University and majored in Mechanical Engineering.I was a poor student of English, and it was my biggest headache and troublemaker.I got sick and tired of learning boring grammar rules and lifeless words.But through hard work in practicing speaking English and braking away from the traditional grammar games, I found myself a totally different and exciting new world.Not only did I pass band 4 and band 6 College English exams very easily with high marks, but more importantly, I began to use English.Finally, I developed a new Language cracking System myself.I began to teach German not long after I stared to learn this terribly difficult language in my own way.It was a miracle but I made it.To speak good English, I think one year of study should be enough for and diligent and intelligent person.I'd like to share my leaning techniques with you, and I will be very glad to answer your letters and be your friend.For further information, please write to 510010 P.O.Box 511 Guangzhou.| Page 口語突破聽力--口語聽力共同輝煌之瘋狂原則
1.1 瘋狂原則
世界上其實根本不存在聽力的問題!聽力的真正突破是以口語突破為基礎的。孤立的、“默默無聞”的為聽而聽的聽力訓練存在巨大弊端并且極其低效??肆⑵澐椒ǜ嬖V你:你一定能聽懂你說出的東西!你只管支大量地練習說,只要發(fā)音純正、用法地道,你的聽力必將一日千里!而且你采用的是超級“三最”口腔肌肉訓練法,你比外國人說得還要快,難道還怕聽不懂嗎?現(xiàn)代化的語言實驗室和磁帶將退居二線!1.2 如何做到發(fā)音純正
只要注意發(fā)音五大秘訣,然后再模仿一盤地道美音的磁帶,發(fā)音就可以完全過關!有關發(fā)音的詳細闡述請參閱 《李陽·克立茲對發(fā)音的最后宣戰(zhàn)——英語發(fā)音突破掌上寶》。1.3 如何做到用法地道
剛開始的時候,要注意選擇地道的教材,刻苦模仿,養(yǎng)成良好的地道英語習慣。更重要的是,要學會“時時刻刻處處”收集地道的句子,用三最法徹底將它們“私有化”,逐步改造自己的中國式英語,逐步增強自己的地道英語表達能力。
我印象最深的一個地道表達法是care for, 那是在一次偶然的交談中學到的,我通過國外的字典和教材收集了以下五個句子,使這個動詞短語成為我脫口而出的朋友!以后一聽到這個短語,我立刻就會有反應,因為我自己也經(jīng)常用care for!? Do you care for this kind of music? Personally, I don't like jazz.? I read the novel last night, but I didn't care for it at all.? The poetry is very realistic.I don't care for it very much.(這首詩是寫實的,我不太喜歡。)? Would you care for a cup of tea? ? I don't really care for tea;I like coffee better 1.4 最高境界
說話閱讀等于練習聽力
就象你的母語,你已經(jīng)不用再購買磁帶,只要是你說過的東西、讀過的東西,你肯定能夠聽懂!這就是我能夠輕松聽懂美國電影、聽懂廣播電視、聽懂專業(yè)講座的原因。因為我的發(fā)音地道,我的語感良好,就象外國人一樣,所以只要是我讀過的東西,我就能聽懂!于是我只要把美國電影的劇本、廣播電視新聞稿、專業(yè)報告的文字材料大聲朗讀一遍,我就可以毫不費力地聽懂!英語是我的第二母語!1.5 閱讀練聽力是我能勝任各類口譯的秘密武器!
有這樣一塊空白的地方,我想再送給您一個漂亮的句子,下次見面時和我比賽一下,看誰說得又快又標準!? ? You made the most of our three days in Paris.I think you saw everything there.[注] make the most of something = do the best one can in a situation;get as much as possible out of it: 盡量利用;獲得最大利益。2 李陽·克立茲句子處理“瘋狂三步曲”
現(xiàn)在讓我們來做第一步:瘋狂地收集地道句子,瘋狂地脫口而出!下面是和一個句子建立深厚感情的三個步驟:
?
把收集到的地道句子全部換成第一人稱,想象那些事情就發(fā)生在你自己身上或自己周圍!
?
然后用“三最”法“惡狠狠”地喊若干遍,直至脫口而出!
?
最后以標準的語速和自然的語調充滿深情地、得意地說一遍!就象是一個外國人正在講這句話,同時腦海中想象一下這句話所描述的具體情景!然后舉一反三活學活用,徹底私用化。
到這里就算基本上掌握這個句子了,以后遇到類似的句型就會象母語一樣立刻反應,小菜一碟。這個立刻反應是指立刻脫口而出,聽懂當然就更沒有問題了!李陽·克立茲英語口語突破法就是英語聽力突破法!聽力在我們這里根本不成問題!

示范一:
They would have come to the meeting if they had knwn about it.(他們如果知道 這個會議就會來參加了。)[C] [A] Although they knew there was going to be a meeting, they didn't come.[B] They didn't want to attend the meeting, but they did anyway.[C] They didn't know about the meeting.[D] They didn't let anybody know about the meeting, so nobody attended.第一步:改裝如下:
I would have come to the meeting if I had known about it.第二步:“三最”。李陽·克立茲的記錄是:2秒。
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象在什么情況下可以把這個句子賣弄出去。比如:為什么技術科的同志/他們/你的父母沒有來參加會議?這時你可以自豪地脫口而出這句“虛擬語氣”的句子,這是多么的了不起!
特別注意:在四個供選擇的答案中雖然有三個是錯的,但這三個錯的答案同樣是地道的英文,也可以用上面的三個步驟進行處理。也就是說這道題包含了五筆財富!

示范二:
John was supposed to arrive at 6:15,but he's an hour and a half late.(約翰應該六點一刻到,但他晚了一個半小時)[C] [A] The time is now 6:45.[B] The time is now 7:15.[C] The time is now 7:45 [D] The time is now 7:20 | Page
第一步:改裝如下:
I was supposed to arrive at 6:15, but I'm an hour and a half late.第二步:“三最”。李陽克立茲的記錄是:3秒。一分鐘可以讀20遍。
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象在什么情況下可以把這個句子賣弄出去。比如:當你約會的人讓你足足等了一個半小時,你可以沖著他/她生氣加自豪地脫口而出這個高級精品句,多么了不起,因為你正確地使用了be supposed to!? ? Every student is supposed to know the school regulations.(每個學生都應該知道校規(guī))The program was supposed to begin at 9 o'clock, but the president's speech delayed it 20 minutes.= the program began at 9:20.2.3
示范三:
John must have forgotten about our meeting.(約翰一定忘記了我們的會議了)[B] [A] John never forgets when he has a meeting.[B] It seems that john forgot about our meeting.[C] John should have cancelled the meeting.[D] John has to come to the meeting.第一步:改裝如下:
Mom must have forgotten about my birthday.第二步:“三最”。李陽·克立茲的記錄是:1.5秒。
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下這句話所描述的情景:大家在開會,唯獨約翰沒有來,于是進行了猜測。然后再接著想象在什么情況下可以把這個句子賣弄出去。我立刻把大腦開動起來,想出以下幾個句子: ? ? ? She must have been beautiful when she was young.(她年輕時一定很漂亮。)[高級精品句] He must have told a lie.(他一定說了謊。)John must have been exhausted after that run.= John was probably very tired after running.2.4
示范四:
It's not like Ted to be late for an appointment, so I don't know what's keeping him.(遲到可不是泰德的作風,我不知道 是什么事情耽擱了他)[C] [A] Ted pointed out where the key was.[B] Ted doesn't want to be appointed.[C] Ted is usually a punctual person.[D] Ted doesn't know he has an appointment.第一步:改裝。其實只需將名字換 一個就可以馬上用了。第二步:“三最”。李陽·克立茲的記錄是:3秒。| Page
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下在什么情況下可以把這個句子賣弄出去。比如老板/老師/自己的好朋友是個非常守時的人,但某一天卻來晚了,于是你脫口而出上面這個漂亮的句子。
2.5
示范五:
W: Hi, bob.Come on in.I'm glad you could make it to the party this evening.But where' s Jane? M: She sends you here apologies.She has a big exam tomorrow and wants to be sure she's ready for it.(她向你表示道歉。明天她有一個大考試,她想準備得充分一點)
Q: What's Jane doing this evening? A: Studying for an exam.第一步:改裝。這個對話里的句子可以分開改裝使用。當別人應邀參加你的晚會時,你可以說:come on in.I'm glad you could make it to the party this evening.當代替別人道歉時可以說:She sends you her apologies.當別人請你去看電影/吃飯/聚會,而你因為要考試不能去時,可以說:I have a big exam tomorrow and want to be sure I'm ready for it.一個小對話里的“財富”可以使我在三個不同的場合瀟灑地脫口而出!可見“改裝”和“私用化”能力在學習英語中是多么重要!在學習完李陽·克立茲教材以后,就慶該熟練地掌握了改裝能力和技巧,并養(yǎng)成了隨時隨地忙改裝的習慣。第二步:“三最”。李陽·克立茲的記錄是:9秒。
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下在什么情況下可以把這些句子賣弄出去。

第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下在什么情況下可以把這些句子賣弄出去。比如你的好朋友/同事/你父親就是這樣一類人,你可以用上面的句子評價他們。下面再給大家一個句子,以便掌握“善始善終”這個成語: ? He followed the plan through to the end.(他把那計劃貫徹到底。)2.7
示范七:
The professor was so lost [忘形的;人迷的] in though that he missed his stop.[D] [A] [B] He missed the bus because he lost his way.He thought a lot about losing his job.| Page
[C] [D] He thought he was lost, so he stopped driving.He passed his stop because he wasn't paying attention.第一步:改裝如下。
I was so lost in thought tat I missed my stop.第二步:“三最”。李陽·克立茲的記錄是:2.5秒。
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下在什么情況下可以把這些句子賣弄出去。教授和學者好明是這個句子的主要對象,因為他們總是若有所思。我也常常坐過站,不是因為入迷和忘形,而是因為太累睡著了。
2.8
示范八:
Before the class began, a dozen students were in the room, but soon the number doubled.= There were 24 students in the class after it had begun.第一步:改裝如下:

第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下在什么情況下可以把這些句子賣弄出去。這個對話我經(jīng)常用,因為95、96年廣東發(fā)生了數(shù)次重大惡性搶劫殺人案件。下面給大家?guī)讉€實用的句子財富: ? ? The building of the new road has been held up by bad weather.(這條新路的建設因壞天氣而耽擱了。)The gunman held up the passengers and took all their money.(這名槍手洗劫了乘客。)
2.10 示范十: | Page

A: One about jail escapes and mental hospitals.第一步:改裝。上面那段話,我相信很多人會有同感?,F(xiàn)在社會上的人已經(jīng)不知道應該如何去消譴,關于色情、暴力、變態(tài)的電視和電影充斥計會,造成了惡劣的影響。我相信人們熱愛美好上進的事物,也需要這些美好的東西來凈化人們的思想、陶冶人們的情操。上面這個對話幾乎不用改裝,就可以馬上賣弄,“據(jù)為己有”。第二步:“三最”。李陽·克立茲的記錄是:14秒。
第三步:深情、含糊地說一遍。然后想象一下在什么情況下可以把這些句子賣弄出去。比如你和你的朋友去看電影、去借錄像帶、光碟等等。
下面再送給大家十個句子和對話,自己駢進行上面的三個步驟: 1)It's amazing how much the boy takes after [象,相似] his father.=Father and son are very much alike[相像].2)There was so little traffic that Stone got home from work in half of the usual time.(交通順暢,史東只用了平常 一半的時間就到家了。)=Stone took half as long to get home.3)The nurse suggested that he rest for half and hour before going back to work.=The nurse said he should take a break before returning to work.4)I wold have driven to the theater last night, but it's always so difficult to find a parking place.=I didn't drive.5)Little did she imagine that I passed the history course.=She didn't imagine that I passed the history course.6)W: This room is so stuffy, I can hardly breathe.M: I think they should ban smoking here, don't you?

三大實用技巧,抓住聽力考試題的致命弱點,在緊張的聽力考場上運籌帷幄、穩(wěn)操勝券!
這里所談的技巧以托??荚嚍闃颖荆怯⒄Z考試的典范,國內的高考、四級、六級等考試都在逐漸向它靠攏。
以下比較難的部分采取中英文對照形式,其余的只給出英文,所有資料都適合進行三最口腔肌肉訓練。編寫忱個部分的一個瘋狂目的是要求大家能夠用英文來告訴別人如何對付聽力考試!這是李陽·克立茲的一貫信念:一步登天!
首先讓我們來熟悉標準聽力考試的結構:
[1] The Listening comprehension section of the TOEFL contains fifty questions.There are three sections to this part of the test.[2] Part A: in this section you hear a short statement and you are asked to select the answer closest in meaning to what you heard.There are twenty questions in Part A.[3] Part B: In this section you hear a short dialogue between two speakers.A third speaker will then ask you a question about what was said.There are fifteen questions in Part B.[4] Part C: In this section you hear three longer talks.Either a conversation between two people or a lecture given by one person.Each talk is followed by four to six questions, for which you are asked to select the best answer.There are fifteen questions in art C.[5] Total time for the section is about thirty minutes.There are fifty questions total on this section.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌內訓練記錄為:35秒] 在進行聽力考試的時候,你要面對巨大的時間壓力!因為:
You can't take any extra time for hard questions!(對于難的問題,你沒有多余的時間!)無論聽懂還是聽不懂,難還是簡單,你都 只有同樣的時間!只有一次機會!很多人由于心理素質差和缺 乏技巧而在聽力考 試中一敗涂地!所 以聽力考 試就象一場 競爭激 烈的體育運動!有人把它比作打網(wǎng)球:
[1] Even if you've never played tennis, you've probably at some point in your life seen it played.Your goal for this section is to learn to play the game of Listening comprehension.Understanding what is on the tape is only one small part o the game.First of all, you need to learn to pace[為…定步調;掌握速度] yourself.Think for a moment about what makes a good tennis player.| Page
[2] Bad tennis players spend a lot of time watching the ball and running to try to catch up to it.[3] Good tennis players spend a lot of time watching their opponents to anticipate [預料] where the ball will go so that they can be there first and be ready to hit it back.[4] Most people take the Listening Comprehension section the way bad tennis players play tennis——always running a little bit behind.To do well on this section, you need to stay one step ahead of your opponent——you need to stay ahead of the questions.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌內訓練記錄為:35秒] 翻譯的最高境界:中國人說中國話
(即使你從來沒有打過網(wǎng)球,但你要能看過別人打。你現(xiàn)在要做的就是學會玩聽力考試的游戲。聽懂只是這個游戲的一小部分。首先,你需要學習如何控制自己的步調?,F(xiàn)在讓我們來看看一個好的網(wǎng)球運動員是如何做的。
普通的網(wǎng)球運動者把大部分時間用在盯著別人的球,然后再倉促地跑過去接球,完全處于被動地位;而網(wǎng)球高手則是盯著對手,并預料球的方向以便先發(fā)制人。
大多數(shù)參加聽力考試的人表現(xiàn)得就象那個普通的網(wǎng)球運動者,總是慢 一步。所以要想做好聽力考試,你必須比對手先行一步,你必須走在問題的前面。
下面我們來談一談技巧。李陽·克立茲聽力訓練的硬功夫要求是:像母語那樣去聽懂!這里所談的技巧主要是幫助那些聽力很差的人對付考試、蒙混過關,當然對具有英語真功夫的朋友,這些技巧 也會幫助他們更加穩(wěn)操勝券!4.1 技巧一: Reading ahead提前閱讀
You have about twelve seconds to answer each of the questions in Parts A and B, no matter how hard or easy each question may seem.The best use of these twelve seconds is to use them to get a sense of [進行大致了解] the upcoming [即將到來的] question.To do this: Read the answer choices before you hear each question.(在聽每個問題之前,先抓緊時間閱讀四個選擇答案。)When you take the test, you will hear the voice on the tape reading the directions for Part A.You will not be able to see the question for Part A until the directions have been read.However, you should turn the page the instant [一…就] you hear the end of the directions, which sounds something like this: Sentence(B)“Could you help me carry these books” is closest in meaning to the sentence you heard.Therefore you should choose answer(B).As you are turning the page you will hear Go on to the next page.Now let us begin Part A with question number one.But by then you should already be reading the answer choices to question 1 in order to get ready to listen.Then, as soon as you hear | Page
Question number one…
Followed by whatever that question may be, choose your answer and mark it as quickly as possible.Now you can use the rest of the twelve seconds to read the answer choices for qwuestion2, and so on.(聽到第一個問題后,就迅速選擇答案,然后以最快的速度標記答案。這時你就可以用剩余的/節(jié)省出來的十二秒鐘去閱讀下一個問題的選擇答案。)The key to this method is discipline [紀律].You'll find you tend to want to linger [逗留;耽擱] on each of the questions until you hear the beginning of the next one.DON'T DO IT!That's how you can end up [以…結束] missing two or three questions in a row;if you don't know the answer, GUESS an move on!(這個方法的關鍵是紀律。你可能會猶豫不定,在每個問題上耽擱久,直至你聽到下一個問題開始。千萬不要這么做!否則你可能會連續(xù)錯過兩、三個問題,如果你不知道答案,只管猜,然后就繼續(xù)前進。)
[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:60秒] 提前閱讀技巧四步驟總結
[請用英文講給別人聽] ? When you hear the end of the instructions begin reading the answer choices for question 1.? As soon as you hear the question, guess.? Use the rest of the twelve seconds to read the answer choices for the next question.? Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the end of Part A.4.2 技巧二: Guess the Topic猜測話題
Staying ahead of the questions helps you overcome the problems caused by the time pressure on this section.Any time you don't see the correct answer, just guess and keep moving.Now that you're keeping up with the ball in this game, that is , staying ahead of the questions, you can begin to practice the second skill you need to win — anticipating [預料] what you opponent will do.It's time to tackle [處理;應付] the second major difficulty of this section.(走在問題的前面幫助你克服了由于時間緊張而引起的問題。如果你一下找不到正確的答案,就只管進行猜測,然后繼續(xù)做下面的題目。既然你已經(jīng)能夠跟得上這場聽力游戲中“球”的速度,那么你就可以開始操練第二個技巧——預料你對手的舉動?,F(xiàn)在是你對付第二個主要難題的時候了。)
[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:15秒] 1. No context沒有上下文/沒有前后關聯(lián)
In face-to-face conversation there are a lot of things that you rely on to help you understand what the other person is saying — facial expressions, hand gestures, and what you know about the person or the topic all give additional meaning to the words | Page
used.Furthermore if this person uses some words or expressions that you 're not familiar with, you can use the context of the rest of the conversation to help you figure out what they mean.(在面對面的談話中,你可以依靠很多東西來幫助你理解對方的話——面部表情、手勢和你所了解的對方的情況和話題,這些都給你額外的含義。另外,如果對方用了你不熟悉的單詞和表達法,你可以借助其余對話的線索來理解它們的含義。)All of these cues [線索;提示] are gone on Parts A and B of the Listening comprehension section.Aside from time, the largest hurdle to get over in order to do well on this section is that lack of context.For the questions on Parts A and B the information presented is isolated [孤立的].The question you're waiting to hear on the tape could be about anything.You can't see the person speaking, so it's much harder to figure out their emotional state or opinion.(在聽力第一和第二部分,這些線索通通消失。除了時間的因素,這個部分的最大障礙就是缺乏上下文,所有的信息都是孤立的。你準備聽到的可能是任何東西。你看不到那個人在說話,所以理解他們的感情狀態(tài)和想法非常困難。)[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:30秒] 2. Guess the topic猜測話題
You're reading ahead, you've heard the end of the instructions for Part A, and you begin to read the answer choices for question 1.Let's say the choices are: 1.(A)I never heard the lecture.(B)That kind of lecture never fascinates me.(C)That lecture was the most fascinating I've heard.(D)I would have preferred a different lecture.What are most of the answer choices about? A lecture.So the stem will have to be about the same thing.Now you have a context.You know it will have something to do with a lecture.Your task is to find out more information about it.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:23秒] 4.3 技巧三: Three Ways to Find the Right Answer 三個找到正確答案的方法 Reading ahead helps you keep up.Guessing the topic supplies you with a context and helps you listen actively.These three techniques help you narrow down [縮?。幌拗品秶鷀 your choices whether or not you have actually understood what is spoken on the tape.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:8秒] 1. OPPOSITES相反的選擇
One of ETS's [美國教育考試機構] favorite kind of wrong answers is one that traps people who almost understood the stem.It looks pretty similar to the correct answer, but means the opposite.For example:(A)Sunday is a day Mary often works.| Page
(B)Mary rarely works on Sunday.(C)Some days Mary's work is awful.(D)Mary has had a terrible cough since Sunday.In the example above,(A)and(B)are what we call opposites, that is, both statements could not be true.Of a typical Listening comprehension section, one third to one half of the questions contain opposites.This is good news for you because: If there is one pair of opposites in the answer choices, one of them is the right answer!(如果在四個選擇答案中有兩個對立/相反的句子,那么其中一個就是正確答案。)Even if you never hear the question, you now have a 50 percent chance of answering this question correctly.Furthermore a pair of opposites in the answer choices tells you exactly what the stem will be about.You only have to listen to hear confirmation [確認;證實] of one or the other of the two opposites.Find the opposites in the example below: 1.(A)Stone does not enjoy clothes shopping.(B)Stone ate while he tried on the clothes.(C)Buying clothing is a pleasure for Stone.(D)Not one piece of clothing was available in his size.In this example, the opposites are(A), which say that stone doesn't like to buy clothes, and(C), which says that he does.Now when you hear the stem, you only need to find out which one is true.The stem is: If there's one thing Stone hates, It's buying clothes.So the correct answer is(A).Now try this one.First, reading the answer choices and find the opposites.2.(A)I think your desk is far too tiny.(B)Your desk is too messy.(C)I think you need a new desk.(D)I cleaned up your desk.The opposites are(B)and(D).If you didn't recognize them, you need to be a little more broad in your understanding of the term.(B)implies that the desk is messy, and(D)implies that the desk is clean.That's enough for them to be considered opposites.So now all you need to do is decide if the desk is clean or messy.When you hear the stem.My, your desk could sure use some tidying up!You know the answer is(B).2.COMMON SENSE常識
The people who write the TOEFL have very conservative tastes.None of their statements or dialogues will contain anything controversial, violent, passionate, or silly.(編寫托??荚嚨娜吮容^保守,他們的句子和對話都不會包含有爭議的、激烈的、熱烈的和愚蠢的東西。)| Page
Remember, you can use common sense to eliminate three types of wrong answers: Type 1: Answer choices that are too extreme [極端].(A)Sunday is a day Mary often works.(B)Mary rarely works on Sunday.(C)Some days Mary's work is awful.(D)Mary has had a terrible cough since Sunday.Answer(C)is too extreme to be a good bet.ETS would probably say someone's work was “unsatisfactory” or even “bad”, but not “awful.” Just remember, ETS can't afford to offend anyone: any answers that might be controversial are automatically wrong.Type 2: Answer choices that have wrong subject, for example:(A)He is a good football player.(B)He doesn't understand football at all.(C)He lives right across that field.(D)Playing football indoors is forbidden.Since most of the answer choices are about football, you know that “football” is the topic of the stem, therefore you can eliminate answer(C).Now here's the stem He sure seems right at home on the football field.The closest in meaning is answer(A).By the way, did you notice that(A)and(B)were opposites? Type 3: Answer choices that are just plain silly [明顯的愚蠢], for example:(A)Rob is too tall to be an actor.(B)Rob's performance was excellent.(C)He didn't see Rob on stage.(D)Rob was suspended above the stage.Answer(A)is just silly.How can someone be too tall to be an actor? Answer choice(D)is weird [奇怪的] too.Now here's the stem.W: How was Rob in the new play last night? M: Great!He was head and shoulders above the rest of the cast.Q: what does that man mean? The expression “head and shoulders above” means “far better than”, so the closest is meaning is answer(B).Notice that both silly answers,(A)and(D), are based on literal interpretations[字面理解] of the expression “head and shoulders above”.If you hear something in the stem that doesn't make literal sense, it's an idiom.Idioms are a signal to be on the lookout for [提防;尋找] answer choices that take that idiom literally and turn it into something silly.3. OPPOSITES相反的選擇 | Page
Another of ETS's favorite trap answers is what we call a sound-alike.Sound-alikes take some of the words and sounds from the statement or dialogue and rearrange them so that they have a totally different meaning.Remember this example?(A)Sunday is a day Mary often works.(B)Mary rarely works on Sunday.(C)Some days Mary's work is awful.(D)Mary has had a terrible cough since Sunday.The statement was Sunday is usually Mary's day off.We already found the opposites in these answers,(A)and(B), and one extreme answer,(C).So now look at how ETS might trap you with sounds.Notice how many things in the answer choices echo [回響] the word “off' in the statement— ”often“, ”awful“ and ”cough“.And in answer(C),The one answer choice without Sunday, has been replaced with ”some days“.The right answer,(B), is one of the pair of opposites, is not silly or extreme, and contains the fewest sound-alikes.After you've found the opposites and silly answers, choose the answer choice that sounds ”least “ like what you heard on the tape.You'll notice that many sound-alikes can also be eliminated using common sense.4.4 Summary of Strategy技巧總結
Step 1: Read the answer choices before you hear the question.Step 2: While reading, look for ? The topic for Part A.? The topic or the question for Part B.? Opposite pairs in the answer choices ? Anything that violates common sense.Step 3: Listen to confirm what you found in step 2.Step 4: Choose your answer.If you are still undecided, choose the answer choice containing the fewest sounds from the statement or dialogue.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:15秒]
聽力突破小怪招(中英文對照)
—請同時用中英文象國際專家一樣講給別人聽!Many people who have taken the TOEFL have reported that the tape was very difficult to hear, either because the volume was too low or because the quality of the tape player was very bad.Therefore you can't count on being able to hear the tape clearly.While you are preparing to take the TOEFL, there are some things you can practice to help you acquire the skills to better understand what you'll eventually be hearing on the tape.? Talk on the phone(in English of course).? Listen to talk shows and news reports on the radio.? Practice English where it's really hard to hear.If you have people with whom you can practice speaking English, try to go to noisy places to do it, such as restaurants or nightclubs or even train stations.If you can(even if it feels silly), try talking to each other without looking at each other, so you don't have the opportunity to use facial expressions or gestures to give you clues as to what your conversation partner is saying.(到嘈雜的地方去操練英語,比如說餐館或是夜總會,甚至火車站這樣的地方。雖然感覺有點傻,但如果可能的話,試一試在不看對方的情況下進行談話,這樣你就沒有機會借助面部表情或動作的線索來理解對方的意思。)[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:40秒]
英語聽力分類轟炸

請趕快用“三最”法將這些財富徹底據(jù)為己有!?
口語能力和聽力能力都將同時獲得大幅提升!
我們只是大致地分幾個主要類型,而不去進行徹底的、嚴格的、系統(tǒng)的分類,這樣又會走入誤區(qū),把大部分時間耗費在理解這些分類上!只要想想我們的母語!我們在脫口而出的時候,并不知道 這個句子是比較句還是因果狀語從句,但是完美地完成了交流任務,這也是我們學習英語最終的境界!
最最重要的是張大你的嘴,刻苦操練,瘋狂地脫口而出每一個句子,建立深厚的感情!瘋狂開始
在錄音帶上,前五十句比較慢速,請大家自己查閱字典將發(fā)音記在單詞旁邊,然后仔細聽并大聲模仿美國老師的發(fā)音。五十句以后的成百上千句,我們將采用“三最”標準,強化你的聽力和口腔肌肉,訓練超級英語硬功夫和實戰(zhàn)能力。6.1 英語單句的七種主要類型 6.1.1 對數(shù)字的敏感
[短評] 數(shù)字是看起來最簡單,但最難聽懂和脫口而出的奇怪東西!我在上大學的是候,有專門對數(shù)字的聽力訓練,但效率非常低。一個簡便而有效的方法就是收集包含數(shù)字的句子,然后用三步法進行瘋狂操練,再和同學合作,進行漢翻英、英翻漢快速數(shù)字口譯訓練。這樣,數(shù)字很快就會成為你的朋友!
1)John will be thirty on November fourteenth.= On November fourteenth John will celebrate his day.[幾乎沒有人能講對!] 2)Since your suitcase weights sixty pounds, you'll have to pay overweight.= The weight of the suitcase is sixty pounds.3)The Intonation Office has moved to 70 South Speedway.= The new address of the International Office is 70 South Speedway.4)Forty students will receive their Ph.D.degrees in industrial engineering this semester.= A doctoral [博士的] degree will be awarded to forty students this semester.5)A one-way ticket [單程票] to Washington costs eighty dollars.= Eighty dollars is the price of a ticket to Washington.6)You have fifteen minutes to finish this section of the test.= There are fifteen minutes left for this section of the test.7)Jane lives in room fourteen on the first floor of Parks tower.= Room fourteen is Jane's.8)It only cots fifteen cents to call Miami after five o'clock.= After five o'clock a call to Miami costs fifteen cents.| Page

A: 3 dollars each.6.1.2 第一部分:對數(shù)字的敏感 | Page
[短評] 這個部分比較能夠測試一個人英語的真功夫,因為必須幾乎全部聽懂才有可能選擇對答案,而且有些計算即使是母語,也不一寂靜能立刻算對。但這并不可怕,聽力計算題的小把戲是有限的,在瘋狂三步曲的轟炸下,這些都是小菜一碟!

[短評] 這類考題一般包含兩個或兩個以上的人,他們之間有著某種關系。很多英語學習者存在這樣一個問題:句子中出現(xiàn)了自己不熟悉的名字而誤以為是一個新單詞;或是出現(xiàn)了兩個以上的名字而導致混亂。當然,解答這類題 有一些猜測的技巧,但最好的技巧還是象母語一樣完全聽懂!| Page

6.2 小對話
6.2.2 第一部分:信息搜索
[短評] 這個部分應該比較容易,答案就在對話中,只要能聽懂,一般都可以選對。但問題是在對話中出現(xiàn)多種信息,如果我們的聽力比較薄弱,就可能會導致顧此失彼或是糊糊涂涂!關于這類題目有一些蒙混過關的技巧,但是克立茲還是主張:與其花費時間研究那些無聊的、也許有點用的技巧,不如刻苦練習英語真功夫!有什么技巧能比完全、輕松聽懂更有效呢?
1)W: John, I'm sorry to be so late.Thank you for waiting.| Page
M: Oh, I didn't mind.I've only been here fifty minutes.You said that you might be as much as an hour late, so I just bought my newspaper and ordered myself a cup of coffee.(沒關系,我才到了五十分鐘。你說你可能會晚一個小時,所以我?guī)蠄蠹埐⒁艘槐Х取?Q: How long has the man been waiting?

A: Second gear.[注] 因為汽車在中國遠遠不普及,所以大多數(shù)人對汽車的常識很少,這樣就導致這道聽力題非常難!下面我們來學習一個有關汽車的重要詞。Gear: 齒輪組;汽車排擋;傳動裝置 ? A car with five gears(一輛有五檔的汽車)? She changed gears to make the car go up the hill faster.(她換了檔,使汽車在上坡時快一點。)?

6.2.2 第二部分:聽力老一套 — 計算 | Page
[短評] 就算是用中文對話,我們也需要時間反應和計算一下才能選擇對答案,用英文就更難了。
下面一共為大家準備了十五段情景小對話,基本上概括了聽力計算考題的主要“小把戲”,現(xiàn)在的關鍵問題就是要:反復!反復!再反復!直至脫口而出并接近或達到,甚至超過李陽·克立茲的“三最”口腔肌肉訓練記錄。經(jīng)地這樣的千錘百煉,你再參加聽力考試時,就一定會有全新的感覺!
1)M: Do you rent rooms by the week? You see, I'm not sure whether I'll stay for a whole month.(你們按星期租房嗎?因為我不確信我是否會呆上整整一個月。)W: Yes.The rates [費用;價格] are higher though.It's 50 dollars a week, but only 160 dollars a month.Q: How much will the man owe [欠] if he rents the room for three weeks? A: He will own 150 dollars.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:10秒] [注] 通過上面這段對話,我們應該掌握一個重要的詞匯:owe.Owe: 欠(債等);應該向(某人)付出;把…歸功于;由于;感激;感恩。? I own him ten dollars.(我欠他十美元。)? How much do you owe her?(你欠她多少錢?)? He owes his success to his hard work.(他認為自己取得的成功是辛勤勞動的結果。)? I owe you for your help.(我感謝你的幫助。)2)W: Excuse me.I'm trying to get to the student Union.M: Sure.Just go down here to the corner and turn left.Then go straight for three blocks and turn left at the tower.It's two blocks from there.Q: How far must the woman walk to get to the Student Union? A: She must walk five or six blocks [街區(qū);一段街].[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:11秒] [注] 這是個典型的關于”block“的對話,block在聽力考試中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn),在這里是指一個街區(qū)一邊的距離,或是說兩個街道之間的距離。它的另外一個意思是“由四條馬路圍成的方形樓房區(qū)”,或簡稱為“街區(qū)”。下面給大家三個典型的例句,以便正確使用這個單詞。
? The station is two blocks away.(車站離這里有兩個街區(qū)。)? I live two blocks from the school.(我住在離學校兩個路口的地方。)? We live in the same block.(我們住在同一街區(qū)。)3)M: How much are the tickets.W: They are ten dollars each for the general public, but student tickets are half price.(一般票價十美元,學生半價。)Q: How much will the man pay for two general tickets and two student tickets?

4)M: How much are these sweaters [毛線衣]? W: They are on sale today, sir.Twenty-five dollars each, or two for forty dollars.Q: How much does one sweater cost? A: Twenty-five dollars.5)M: I'd like to place a station-to-station call [叫號的長途電話] to Ann Arbor please.How much will that be? W: That's fifty-five cents for the first three minutes, and ten cents for each additional [附加的;追加的] minute.[王牌精品句](前三分鐘是五十五美分,以后每分鐘十美分。)Q: How much will the man pay for a ten-minute call?(打十分鐘電話需要多少錢?)A: He will pay $1.25.[經(jīng)典聽力題] 6)W: Excuse me.Do you have the time?(現(xiàn)在幾點了?)M: Yes ma'am.I have 1:15, but my watch is a little bit fast.Q: What time is it? A: It is a little before 1:15.(不到一點一刻。)[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:5秒] 7)W: That's fifteen dollars, sir.M: I'd like to pay by check.May I make it out for more than that?(我想用支票付帳,我可以多開嗎?)W: Certainly.There's a ten-dollar limit over the amount of purchase, though.Q: What is the maximum amount [最大限度;最大量] for which the man may write his check? A: He may write a check for twenty-five dollars.[注] 這個對話告訴我們一個國外的生活常識:limit是商店為了避免顧客開支票付款時,超出購買總額過多,反增加找錢的麻煩,而做的限制。Ten-dollar limit 就是所開的支票,只能比購買的總金額多出十元。
另外,我們還需要掌握一個重要的動詞詞組:make out.make out: 書寫;填寫;開列。[中國人很難建立感情的短語] ? make out a check.(開出支票)? to make out a bill / a list(開列帳單/ 清單)8)M: Do I have enough postage [郵資] on this package? W: Let's see.You already have three fifteen-cent stamps and two twenty-five cent stamps on it.You only need one five-cent stamp.Q: What is the total amount of postage required to mail the package? A: $1.00.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:9秒] [注] 郵局寄信或包裹計算郵費是一種聽力常用的小把戲,這道題已經(jīng)是非常難的了,因為里面包含了七個數(shù)字單詞!用“三最”法和“一口氣”法瘋狂操練,建立感情!9)W: I thought [我原以為] that these typewriter ribbons [色帶 ] cost three dollars.| Page
M: They used to, but the price has gone up fifty cents.(它們以前是這個價,但現(xiàn)在價格升了五十美分。)Q: How much do the typewriter ribbons cost now? A: They cost $3.50.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:6秒] 10)W: Aren't there any direct flights? M: I'm sorry.Your best bet [最佳選擇] would be a nine A.M.departure on United flight twelve arriving in Chicago at eleven A.M., with a five-hour wait for your connecting [相連的;銜接的] flight to Los Angeles.[聽力特別難題] Q: What time will the woman leave Chicago? A: At four o'clock.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:10秒] [注] 這是一道關于旅行轉車/轉機的典型題目。上面這道題屬于比較難的一類,因為里面出現(xiàn)了”幾點離開”、“航班號碼”、”中轉地點”、“到達時間”、”等待轉機時間”、“最終目的地”等大量信息,如是英語真功夫,就會很容易產(chǎn)生混亂!
11)W: I like these glasses, but they look like they would be quite expensive.(我喜歡這些,但它們看起來好象很貴。)M: They're 15 dollars a piece, or 150 dollars a dozen.Really that's not very expensive for genuine [真正的] leaded [上含鉛的釉的] crystal [水晶玻璃制品].Q: How much does one glass cost? A: 15 dollars.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:8秒] 12)M: My car gets forty miles per gallon.W: Really? Mine only gets twenty.Q: How does the man's mileage compare with that of the woman? A: The man's mileage is twice that of the woman.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:7秒] [注] 這里有必要向大家解釋一個mileage。
Mileage:里數(shù);里程;消耗一加侖汽油所行駛的里程。
13)M: We don't have meters [計量器] here in Washington, because we have zones [地區(qū);同一收費區(qū)].This is a two-zone ride, so the fare [車費] is $2.45.W: Here's three dollars.Keep the change [不用找錢].Q: How much did the woman give the driver as a tip [小費]? A: Fifty-five cents.14)M: Miss smith, I told Dr.Brown that I would call him in the Houston office at ten o'clock their time.Please find out the time difference for me so that I'll know when to place the call.(史密斯小姐,我告訴布朗博士,我將在當?shù)貢r間十點致電其休斯頓辦公室,請幫我查一下兩地的時間差,以便 我了解何時打電話給他。)| Page
W: It's two hours earlier in Houston, sir.I know without looking it up because my sister lives there.(休斯頓時間比這里早兩個小時。因為我妹妹住在那里,所以不用查我就知道。)Q: When should the man place his call to Houston? A: At twelve o'clock.[李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:7秒] [注] 大家要特別注意并掌握“打電話”的不同說法,現(xiàn)在歸納如下:
a.make a phone call b.telephone/ phone c.call d.call up e.place a call ? My sister called me from Shanghai last night.? I'll call you up later.(我待會給你打電話。)? I'll telephone/phone you this evening.15)M: Hello.This is Tom Davis.I have an appointment with Mrs.Jones for nine o'clock this morning, but I'm afraid I'll have to be about fifteen minutes late.W: That's alright, Mr.Davis.She doesn't have another appointment scheduled until ten o'clock.[王牌精品句](沒關系。瓊斯夫人十點鐘以前都有空/十點鐘以前都沒有其它的安排。)Q: When will Mr.Davis most probably meet with Mrs.Jones? A: At 9:15.[從聽力考試中獲得實戰(zhàn)能力] [李陽·克立茲三最口腔肌肉訓練記錄為:11秒]
6.2.3 聽力老一套 — 猜地方
[短評] 在這里需要再次強調一下,猜對地方真是很容易,根據(jù)對話中的“蛛絲馬跡”,經(jīng)常會在幾乎沒有聽懂的情況下就猜出了對話發(fā)生的地點。但這又有什么用呢?實際生活和工作不是聽力考試題,你花費大量的精力和金錢也不是為了只要猜對答案就萬事大吉!我們需要英語真功夫!脫口而出、表達一切的真功夫!請用“三最”法猛烈轟炸下面的精彩對話,直至象母語一樣脫口而出!你一定會讓外國人刮目相看的:你說的英語象他們說母語一樣地道流暢!我們只通過“大喊”聽力考題就可以達到這樣的輝煌!

A: At an apartment building.(在公寓大樓)| Page
[注] check是大家要努力去建立感情的詞匯,因為在美國使用支票極其普便,所以在聽力考試中這個詞經(jīng)常出現(xiàn),但由于沒有生活經(jīng)驗做基礎,一般人對此反應比較遲鈍。下面給大家兩個實用句子:
? I always pay bills by check.(我總是用支票付帳。)? My checkbook has two checks left.(我的支票薄還剩下兩張。)14)W: The special [特餐;特別介紹] today is baked [烤] chicken and dressing [調味品].M: No thank you.Just bring me a cup of coffee and th check [帳單] please.Q: Where did the conversation most probably take place?

碰到一個漂亮的單詞,就趕緊將整個句子脫口而出,或是查字典,找出實用地道的例句,反復大喊,直至脫口而出。這樣才能和這個單詞建立深厚的感情,才算是真正掌握這個單詞!
關于offend, 送給你幾個句子:
a)Your words offended her.(你說的話使她生氣。)
b)I was very offended that you forgot my birthday.(你竟把我的生日給忘了,我很生氣。)
從現(xiàn)在開始,你就成為offend 這個單詞的真正主人!

A: 450 dollars.[注] 這是最難的一種計算題!如果是數(shù)學很好的人,也許可以馬上心算出來,但對于一般人,我還是建議你用簡單的方程式來計算,這樣保險。假設剛搬進來時房租為X元,那么X + 1/3X = 600,X= 450元。

除此之外,特別奉獻攻克英語的十大步驟,1000多個絕對純正實用的美國英語句子,激發(fā)你持久的學習興趣!突破句型,展現(xiàn)一個最精彩的你!第一部分開篇10個句型
1.Nice to do / doing...很高興?? 如果是初次見面,就說: Nice to meet you.(很高興認識你。)2 如果是見過面的,則可以說: Nice to see you again.(很高興再次見到你們。)當然也可以說: Good to see you again.Glad to see you again.Great to see you again.Pleased to see you again.3 外出旅行回來,你還可以說: Nice to be back home again.(又回到家了,真是高興。)Nice to see some friendly and familiar faces.(很高興看到幾張友好和熟悉的面孔。)Kim’s Note: These are two sentences to use when you have returned from a trip.I always feel this way when I return from Hong Kong, even though it is not that far away!當你從外地回來的時候,這兩個句子就能派上用場。我從香港回來時,總會有這種感覺,盡管香港并不算很遠。4 道別時,最好說一聲: Nice meeting you.(認識你很高興。)5 結束談話時,說一聲: Nice talking to you.(跟你談得很開心。)這句話相當于It’s been nice talking to you.【瘋狂點評】這句話非常具有交際技巧性。如果你感覺跟對方很談得來,但因其它事情不得不結束談話,用這句話來收場是最合適不過了。但是另一方面,如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)對方跟你沒什么共同語言,你巴不得趁早結束談話,也可以用這句話來打發(fā),它不僅不會傷到別人的自尊,而且會使你顯得彬彬有禮,給人留下好印象。
實戰(zhàn)對話
A: Excuse me.I have to go to the library.Nice talking to you.B: Me too.See you later!A: See you!A: 對不起,我得去一趟圖書館。跟你談得真開心。B: 我也是。再見~ A: 再見~ 【瘋狂總結】
現(xiàn)在我們回過頭來看看Nice to do??.和Nice doing??的用法區(qū)別,其實很簡單,Nice to do??是見面時說的,而Nice doing??.是將要分別時說的.2.How is/was...? ??怎么樣, 問候語如同感情的催化劑,多一點關心,多一點溫暖,友情也就不知不覺地變得更深,如果你不想給人一種冷冰冰的感覺,請務必掌握這個典型的問候句型。第一節(jié) How is…?
A: How’s / How is your family?
B: Everyone is doing great.How about yours? A: 你的家人怎么樣, B: 都很好。你的家人呢, A: How’s / How is your girlfriend?

B: Awful.It rained every day and my wife got sick.A: 假期過得愉快嗎, B: 糟透了~天天下雨,而且我老婆病了。A: How was your interview?

How was...?實在是太有用了,我們天天都離不開: How was your meeting?(你們的會議怎么樣,)How was your day?(你過得怎么樣,)How was your date?(你的約會怎么樣,)How was your test?(你的考試怎么樣,)How was your party?(你們的晚會怎么樣,)How was your dinner?(你們的晚餐怎么樣,)How was your nap?(你睡得怎么樣,)How was your picnic?(你們的野餐怎么樣,)【瘋狂聯(lián)想】 How is 可以縮寫成How’s 3.Let me...我來??
“Let me...”是英語中最簡單也是最常用的句型,通常用于你想做一件對對方有利的事,請求對方同意時,如“Let me show you the way.” 做人還是要主動一點,熱情一點,這個句型不可不學。
最常用的三個句子
Top 1: Let me help you.(我來幫你。)Top 2: Let me show you how to do it.(我來做給你看。)Kim’s Note: This sentence is one of the most useful sentences to offer assistance.It is always easier to show someone how to do something than it is to tell him.這個句子是向人提供幫助時最有用的句子。演示給人家看總比告訴別人如何做要簡單一些。
Top 3: Let me give you some advice.(我給你一些建議。)瘋狂操練
Let me hold this for you.(我?guī)湍隳冒伞?Let me introduce myself.(我來介紹一下我自己。)Let me drive you home.(我來送你回家。)Let me tell you the truth.(我來告訴你事情的真相。)Let me get the doctor.(我去叫醫(yī)生。)“Let me...”的其它用法: 一時想不起來,可以說: Let me think.(我想一想。)Kim’s Note: This sentence is great when you aren’t sure what to say next, or you can’t think of the right word in English.It makes you sound intelligent and deep.It’s much better than “I don’t know.”
當你不知道接著說什么或者想不出一個正確的英文單詞時,這個句子就很有用。它會使你聽
I don’t know”可要好幾倍~ 起來很有頭腦,很深沉。比“ ?一時下不了決心,可以說: Let me see.(我想想看。)?想滿足一下自已的好奇心,可以說: Let me have a look.(讓我看一看。)?想確認一下自已的日程安排,可以說: Let me check.(我核對一下。)?想試一試身手,可以說: Let me try.(我來試一試。)Kim’s Note: If you don’t want to tell someone “no” or “I can’t” just use this sentence instead.如果你不想告訴別人“不”或者“我不行”,那就用這個句子吧~ ?和朋友告別時,可以說: Let me hear from you.(給我來信。)?看看自已能不能答應別人,則可以說: Let me see if I will have time.(我看看有沒有時間。)“Let me...”有時還可用于警告,如: Let me catch you bullying my brother again.(下次再讓我看到你欺負我兄弟的話,有你好看的。)Kim’s Note: This is a classic threat sentence!It’s usually said with a fist raised in the air!這是一個經(jīng)典的威脅句子~說這話的人常常會舉起拳頭。
?“Let me...”后面除了跟動詞,還可與副詞或介詞連用,Let me alone.(別碰我。)Let me in.(讓我進去。)Let me out of here.(放我出去。)額外成就
如果你想跟對方一起做某事,可以用“Let’s...”來征求對方同意,Let’s go.(我們走吧~)Kim’s Note: You can make this sentence an automatic part of your English by blurting it out after you say“走吧~” 在說完“走吧~”之后,將這個句子脫口而出,以后你就可以很自然地說出這個英文句子了。
Let’s stop here and have lunch!(我們在這里停下來吃飯吧!)Let’s的否定句型“l(fā)et’s not”也可以用來提出建議。
Kim’s Note: The following sentence pattern is most commonly used all by itself.When someone is too enthusiastic about a bad idea, it is common to hear someone say coldly “Let’s not!” 以下這個句型常??梢元毩⑹褂谩.斢腥藢σ粋€壞主意很執(zhí)著時,常常會聽到有人冷冷地說Let’s not!”
Young New Employee: “Let’s all work late tonight and share our ideas with each other after work?!?/p>
Old Tired Employee: “Let’s not!”
年輕的新職員:“讓我們今晚多加一點班,并在工作之后相互交流一下?!? 疲憊的老職員:“不行”。
Let’s not forget the reason for this meeting.(我們不要忘了這次會議的主旨。)Let’s not make a big deal out of this.(我們不要小題大做。)Let’s not keep the good news a secret.(我們應該把好消息告訴大家。)Let’s not take a break until we finish.(我們先做完再歇吧。)Let’s not let our country down.(讓我們不要讓祖國失望。)順便再學一個成語“l(fā)et down‖:辜負,使失望,做對不起??的事 Don’t let me down.I need you.【戀人用語】(別拋下我不管,我需要你。)I’m counting on you to support me –– don’t let me down.(我指望你會支持我——別讓我失望。)4.I’d like to...我想??
最常用的三個句子
Top 1: I’d like to talk to you for a minute.(我想跟你談一談。)Top 2: I’d like to introduce myself.(我想做個自我介紹。)Top 3: I’d like to see you again.(我想再見到你。)瘋狂操練 I’d like to buy a ticket to Beijing.(我想買一張去北京的機票。)I’d like to make an appointment with Mr.Green.(我想跟格林先生約個時間見面。)I’d like to have dinner with you.(我想跟你一起吃飯。)I’d like to know more about China.(我想對中國作進一步了解。)瘋狂實戰(zhàn)
A: I’d like to go out with you this weekend.B: Really? I’d love to go out with you this weekend!A: 我想這個周末與你一起出去。B: 真的,我會很高興與你一起出去。Kim’s Note: This sentence pattern is more mannerly and sophisticated than “I want”.If you tell someone you WANT to have dinner with them/see them again/go out again this weekend etc., you sound a little too much like a desperate psycho!Remember, the key to dating is to play it cool!這個句型比“I want”顯得更加得體,更加圓滑。如果你告訴別人你“要”和他們一起吃飯,再見到他們或者這個周末再和他們約會,你給人的感覺就會像一個傻蛋。記住,約會的關鍵就是要玩得“酷”一點。
5.I need...我需要??
I need后面可以跟名詞,也可以跟不定式。最常用的三個句子
Top 1: I need your help.(我需要你的幫助。)Top 2: I need more time.(我需要更多的時間。)Top 3: I need more money.(我需要更多錢。)1 跟名詞

I want to take a rest.(我想休息一下。)I want to buy a ticket to Beijing.(我想買一張去北京的票。)Kim’s Note: Notice that sentence patterns with “I want” don’t usually involve people.When you are dealing with people, “I’d like” is usually a better choice.請注意,“I want”這個句型通常不牽涉到別人。如果要牽涉到人,則用“I’d like”會好一些。
7.May I...? 我可以??嗎, 這個句型將使你顯得彬彬有禮。最常用的三個句子
Top 1: May I help you?(我可以幫你嗎,)Top 2: May I sit down?(我可以坐下嗎,)Top 3: May I be excused?(我失陪一下可以嗎,)瘋狂操練

Just ask.A: 能幫我一下嗎, B: 當然,什么事,盡管說吧。Kim’s Note: If you are a generous and helpful person, this will be your first response.If you are a more cautious type, you may want to say “That depends.” The following sentences are good examples of why a cautious response is sometimes a better idea!如果你是一個慷慨大方,樂于助人的人,這將是你的第一反應,反之,如果你做事比較謹慎,That depends.(這得看情況而定。)”有時候,謹慎一點的回答會好一點,以你可能會說“

禮節(jié)美語001講
Ann.陳豪剛從大學畢業(yè)就在北京的一家美國公司找到了一份工作。今天他收到一張通知,可是里面有一個詞他不懂,他只知道讓他去參加一個什么訓練班。所以他就去請教公司里的美籍華人Mary。(Office ambience)C:Excuse me, Mary, 請問通知上這個詞是什么意思呀?E-t-i-q-u-e-t-t-e。M:Oh, etiquette, 原來是法文,意思是禮節(jié)。
C: 噢,原來是要我去參加禮節(jié)訓練班。Mary,這詞是怎么發(fā)音的? M:E-ti-ket。Q-u是發(fā)k的音,而不是發(fā)q的音,e-ti-ket。C:我們來公司工作,又不是來社交,為什么要講禮節(jié)呀?
M:Etiquette is very important to business。一個公司的雇員對客戶是不是很客氣,有禮貌,這對經(jīng)營有很大關系。
C:具體地說,這兒說的etiquette指些什么呢?
M:Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。C:以文明的方式對待別人的一些原則。
M:具體地說就是treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C:嗯,(若有所思地)對人要有禮貌,要尊敬別人,還要讓人覺得和你在一起很自如。這沒問題,I'm always polite and courteous to others。
M:但是,訓練班講的是西方禮節(jié)-western etiquette,和中國的禮節(jié)還不完全一樣,因為兩國有文化差異。C:這禮節(jié)還有文化差異?我得去訓練班聽聽再說。****** C:嗨,Mary,我的訓練班結束了,你那天說的文化差異一點也沒錯。M:聽起來訓練班好像讓你開竅啦?
C是啊。我那天跟會計室的那金發(fā)女郎聊天,聊得很愉快。結果我問她多大年紀了,她一下子就變得很不高興,支支吾吾沒有回答就走了。
M:Asking someone's age is offensive to an American.C:參加了訓練班才知道不能問美國人年齡的。
M:你辦公室里的小王今天早上突然問年薪有多少。美國人認為打聽這種私人的事是不禮貌的。我想對有些中國人來說也是不禮貌的。C:沒錯。
M:既然你訓練班已經(jīng)結束,我來考考你: Tell me what is etiquette? C:我來試試。Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。M:And treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C: Mary,以后我有問題還會來請教你喲!M:No problem。

M:根據(jù)一項研究,人們在初次見面時對一個人的評價有55% 是根據(jù)他所看到的。陳:這不是只看表面嘛?打扮漂亮就行了嗎?
M:不是打扮漂亮,而是打扮得體。你今天不是會見到總裁嗎?我們就來看看你有什么地方需要改進的吧 ****** M: 首先,hair should be well maintained。嗯,你的頭發(fā)梳得很整齊美觀。有的人既不洗頭,也不梳頭,那是非常不禮貌的。
陳:對了,我注意到我們辦公室里的美國男同事好像天天剃胡子。我不是天天剃胡子的。我年紀輕,沒多少胡子,人家看不出來。
M:我就看出來你今天沒有剃胡子。Unshaved look does not work for others。對了,我早上看你帶著領帶,怎么沒有啦?你要去見總裁,領帶一定要帶。陳:噢,我到了辦公室,我把它取下來了。
M:在辦公室里放松一會兒是可以的,但是要去見某人或出去辦事,ties should be correctly tied。你一會兒千萬別忘了把領帶帶上。
陳:行,行,我一會兒剃一下胡子,帶上領帶就齊了。M:等等,一般人還會看你的腿和鞋子。哎,你的褲子太長,褲腿都拖在地上了。Pants should not drag on the floor。

C:他批評我開會不準時。他不懂,可我又沒法和老板爭。你知道有的時候我專心工作忘了時間!
M.那不行,上星期開會討論財務,可數(shù)據(jù)全在你手上。你不到,會沒法開。There's no way to have the meeting without you,所以你浪費了大家的時間。Being late is a sign of disrespect。C: 我不是有意沒禮貌,有的時候是沒法控制的。那天我剛要去開會,電話鈴響了。
M:That's simple.Don't answer it。打電話的人要是有重要事情他會留言。你開完會可以打回電。陳:還有一次,開會的時間到了,可是一個客戶來看我。我總不能不見吧?
M:實在沒有辦法的時候,inform others that you are delayed。這樣別人就會覺得你是尊重他們的。陳:行,知道了。哎,Mary,你再給我總結一下吧,免得我忘了。
