Rocky Bay Field Trip剑桥雅思11听力-原文翻译及答案解析

一、Rocky Bay Field Trip 听力原文：

HELEN:I've brought my notes on our Biology Field Trip to Rocky Bay, Colin, so we can work on our report on the research we did together.

COLIN:OK.

I've got mine too.

Let's look at the aims of the trip first.

HELEN:Right.

What did you have?

COLIN:I just put something about getting experience of the different sorts of procedures used on a field trip.

But we need something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats.

HELEN: agree.

And something about finding out how to protect organisms in danger of dying out?

COLIN:In our aims?

But we weren't really looking at that.

HELEN:I suppose not.

OK, now there's the list of equipment we all had to bring on the field trip.

What did they tell us to bring a ruler for?

COLIN:It was something about measuring the slope of the shore, but of course we didn't need it because we were measuring wind direction, and we'd brought the compass for that ...

HELEN: But not the piece of string to hold up in the air!

Didn't Mr. Blake make a fuss about us leaving that behind.

COLIN:Yeah.

He does go on.

Anyway it was easy to get one from another of the students.

HELEN:NOW, the next section's the procedure.

I sent you the draft of that.

COLIN:Yeah.

It was clear, but I don't think we need all these details of what time we left and what time we got back and how we divided up the different research tasks.

HELEN:OK.

I'll look at that again.

COLIN:Then we have to describe our method of investigation in detail.

So let's begin with how we measured wave speed.

I was surprised how straightforward that was.

HELEN:I'd expected us to have some sort of high-tech device, not just stand there and count the number of waves per minute.

Not very precise, but I suppose it was good enough.

But the way we measured the amount of salt was interesting.

COLIN:In the water from the rock pools?

HELEN:Yeah, oh, I wanted to check the chemicals we used in the lab when we analysed those samples - was it potassium chromate and silver nitrate?

COLIN:That's right.

HELEN:OK.

And we need the map of the seashore.

You just left that to me.

And I had to do it while the tide was low, well that was OK, but the place I started it from was down on the beach, then I realised I should have gone up higher to get better visibility, so I had to start all over again.

But at least I'd got the squared paper or I'd have had problems drawing it all to scale.

COLIN:Yes.

It looks good.

We could get a map of the region off the internet and see if we need to make any changes.

HELEN:I had a look but I couldn't find anything.

But you took some pictures, didn't you?

COLIN:Yeah.

I'll email you them if you want.

HELEN:OK.

I'll make my amendments using those, then I can scan it into our report.

Great.

HELEN:NOW when we get to our findings I thought we could divide them up into the different zones we identified on the shore and the problems organisms face in each zone.

So for the highest area ...

COLIN:...

the splash zone?

HELEN:Yeah, we found mostly those tiny shellfish that have strong hard shells that act as protection.

COLIN:But not from other organisms that might eat them, predators?

HELEN:NO, that's not the main danger for them.

(Q27 - 28) But the shells prevent them from drying out because they're in the open air for most of the time.

COLIN:Right.

And since they're exposed, they need to be able to find some sort of shelter, or cover themselves up, (Q27 - 28) so they don't get too hot.

Then in the middle and lower zones, nearer the sea, we need to discuss the effects of wave action ...

HELEN:Yes, and how organisms develop structures to prevent themselves from being swept away, or even destroyed by being smashed against the rocks.

COLIN:I haven't done anything on the geological changes.

I don't know what to put for that.

HELEN:NO, we weren't concentrating on that.

Maybe we need to find some websites.

COLIN:Good idea.

I've got the lecture notes from Mr. Blake's geology course, but they're too general.

But we could ask him which books on our Reading List might be most helpful.

HELEN:Right.

OK, now I did a draft of the section of sources of possible error in our research, but I don't know if you agree.

For example, the size of the sample, and whether it's big enough to make any general conclusions from.

But I thought actually we did have quite a big sample.

COLIN:We did.

And our general method of observation seemed quite reliable.

But we might not be all that accurate as far as the actual numbers go.

HELEN:Yeah, (Q29 -30) we might have missed some organisms - if they were hiding under a rock, for example.

I wasn't sure about the way we described their habitats.

I decided it was probably OK.

COLIN:Yeah, and the descriptions we gave of the smaller organisms, they weren't very detailed, but they were adequate in this context.

(Q29 - 30) I'm not sure we identified all the species correctly though.

HELEN:OK, we'd better mention that.

Now, how ...

二、Rocky Bay Field Trip 听力中文翻译：

海伦：科林，我把我们在洛基湾进行的生物学实地考察的笔记带来了，所以我们可以一起写研究报告

科林：好的

我也有我的

让我们先看看这次旅行的目的

海伦：对

你吃了什么？

科林：我只是想了解一下实地考察中使用的不同程序的经验

但我们需要了解是什么导致不同的生物体选择特定的栖息地

海伦：同意

以及如何保护濒临灭绝的生物？

科林：在我们的目标中？

但我们并没有真正考虑到这一点

海伦：我想不会吧

好了，下面是我们在实地考察时必须携带的设备清单

他们告诉我们带尺子干什么？

科林：这是关于测量海岸坡度的东西，但我们当然不需要它，因为我们在测量风向，我们带了罗盘来测量

海伦：但不是那根挂在空中的绳子！

布莱克先生不是对我们把这件事抛在脑后大惊小怪吗

科林：是的

他确实继续说下去

无论如何，从另一个学生那里很容易得到一个

海伦：现在，下一节是程序

我把草稿寄给你了

科林：是的

这很清楚，但我认为我们不需要所有这些细节，比如我们离开的时间和回来的时间，以及我们如何划分不同的研究任务

海伦：好的

我再看一遍

科林：那么我们必须详细描述我们的调查方法

让我们从测量波速开始

我很惊讶这是多么直截了当

海伦：我希望我们有某种高科技设备，而不仅仅是站在那里数数每分钟的波浪数

不是很精确，但我想这已经足够好了

但是我们测量盐含量的方法很有趣

科林：在岩石池的水里？

海伦：是的，哦，我想检查一下我们在实验室分析这些样品时使用的化学物质——是铬酸钾和硝酸银吗？

科林：没错

海伦：好的

我们需要海岸地图

你把这个留给我了

我不得不在低潮的时候做这件事，这没关系，但我开始做这件事的地方是在海滩上，然后我意识到我应该爬得更高，以获得更好的能见度，所以我不得不重新开始

但至少我有一张方格纸，否则我很难按比例画出来

科林：是的

看起来不错

我们可以从互联网上获取该地区的地图，看看是否需要进行任何更改

海伦：我看了一下，但什么也没找到

但是你拍了一些照片，不是吗？

科林：是的

如果你愿意，我会给你发电子邮件

海伦：好的

我将使用这些修改，然后我可以将其扫描到我们的报告中

太棒了

海伦：现在，当我们得到我们的发现时，我想我们可以把它们分为我们在海岸上确定的不同区域，以及每个区域生物体面临的问题

所以对于最高的区域

科林：

飞溅区？

海伦：是的，我们发现的大多是那些小贝类，它们有坚固的硬壳可以起到保护作用

科林：但不是来自其他可能吃掉它们的生物，捕食者？

海伦：不，那不是他们的主要危险

（问题27-28）但是贝壳可以防止它们变干，因为它们大部分时间都在户外

科林：对

由于他们暴露在外，他们需要找到某种庇护所，或者把自己盖起来，（问题27-28），这样他们就不会太热

然后，在靠近海洋的中下部区域，我们需要讨论波浪作用的影响

海伦：是的，还有生物体是如何形成结构来防止自己被冲走，甚至被岩石砸碎而被摧毁的

科林：我没有做任何关于地质变化的事情

我不知道该怎么说

海伦：不，我们没有集中精力

也许我们需要找到一些网站

科林：好主意

我有布莱克先生地质学课程的讲稿，但太笼统了

但我们可以问他，我们的阅读清单上哪些书可能最有用

海伦：对

好的，现在我做了一个关于我们研究中可能出现错误的来源部分的草稿，但我不知道你是否同意

例如，样本的大小，以及样本的大小是否足以得出任何一般性结论

但我想实际上我们有一个很大的样本

科林：是的

我们的一般观察方法似乎相当可靠

但就实际数字而言，我们可能没有那么准确

海伦：是的，（问题29-30）我们可能错过了一些生物——例如，如果它们藏在岩石下的话

我不确定我们描述它们栖息地的方式

我觉得可能没问题

科林：是的，我们对小型生物的描述不是很详细，但在这方面已经足够了

（问题29-30）但我不确定我们是否正确识别了所有物种

海伦：好的，我们最好提一下

现在，如何
