Theatre Studies Course剑桥雅思10听力-原文翻译及答案解析

一、Theatre Studies Course 听力原文：

MIA:Hi, Rob.

How's the course going?

ROB:Oh, hi, Mia.

Yeah, great.

I can't believe the first term's nearly over.

MIA:I saw your group's performance last night at the student theatre.

It was good.

ROB:Really?

Yeah ...

but now we have to write a report on the whole thing, an in-depth analysis.

I don't know where to start.

Like, I have to write about the role I played, the doctor, how I developed the character.

MIA:Well, what was your starting point?

ROB:Er...

my grandfather was a doctor before he retired, and I just based it on him.

MIA:OK, but how?

Did you talk to him about it?

ROB:He must have all sorts of stories, but he never says much about his work, even now.

He has a sort of authority though.

MIA:So how did you manage to capture that?

ROB:I'd… I’d visualise what he must have been like in the past, when he was sitting in his consulting room listening to his patients.

MIA:OK, so that's what you explain in your report.

ROB:Right.

MIA:Then there's the issue of atmosphere—so in the first scene we needed to know how boring life was in the doctor's village in the 1950s, so when the curtain went up on the first scene in the waiting room, there was that long silence before anyone spoke.

And then people kept saving the same thing over and over, like ‘Cold, isn’t it?’

ROB:Yes, and everyone wore grey and brown, and just sat in a row.

MIA:Yes, all those details of the production.

ROB:And I have to analyse how I functioned in the group—what I found out about myself.

I know I was so frustrated at times, when we couldn’t agree.

MIA:Yes.

So did one person emerge as the leader?

ROB:Sophia did.

That was OK— she helped us work out exactly what to do, for the production.

And that made me feel better, I suppose.

MIA:When you understood what needed doing?

ROB:Yes.

And Sophia did some research, too.

That was useful in developing our approach.

MIA:Like what?

ROB:Well,  she found these articles from the 1950s about how relationships between children and their parents, or between the public and people like bank managers or the police were shifting.

MIA:Interesting.

And did you have any practical problems to overcome?

ROB:Well, in the final rehearsal everything was going fine until the last scene -that's where the doctor's first patient appears on stage on his own.

MIA:The one in the wheelchair?

ROB:Yes, and he had this really long speech, with the stage all dark except for one spotlight— and then that stuck somehow so it was shining on the wrong side of the stage... but anyway we got that fixed, thank goodness.

MIA:Yes, it was fine on the night.

ROB:But while you’re here, Mia.

I wanted to ask you about the year abroad option.

Would you recommend doing that?

MIA:Yes, definitely.

It's a fantastic chance to study in another country for a year.

ROB:I think I'd like to do it, but it looks very competitive—there's only a limited number of places.

MIA:Yes, so  next year when you are in the second year of the course, you need to work really hard in all your theatre studies modules.

Only students with marks get places — you have to prove that you know your subject really well.

ROB:Right.

So how did you choose where to go?

MIA: Well, I decided I wanted a programme that would fit in with what I wanted to do after I graduate, so I looked for a university with emphasis on acting rather than directing for example.

It depends on you.

Then about six months before you go, you have to email the scheme coordinator with your top three choices.

I had a friend who missed the deadline and didn’t get her first choice, so you do need to get a move on at that stage.

You'll find that certain places are very popular with everyone.

ROB:And don't you have to write a personal statement at that stage?

MIA:Yes.

ROB:Right.

I’ll get some of the final year students to give me some tips ...

maybe see if I can read what they wrote.

MIA:I think that's a very good idea.

I don't mind showing you what I did.

And while you're abroad don't make the mistake I made.

I got so involved I forgot all about making arrangements for when I came back here for the final year.

Make sure you stay in touch so they know your choices for the optional modules.

You don't want to miss out doing your preferred specialisms.

ROB:Right.

二、Theatre Studies Course 听力中文翻译：

米娅：嗨，罗伯。

课程进展如何？

罗布：噢，嗨，米娅。

是的，很好。

我不敢相信第一学期快结束了。

米娅：我昨晚在学生剧院看了你们小组的演出。

这很好。

罗布：真的吗？

是 啊

但现在我们必须写一份关于整个事情的报告，一份深入的分析。

我不知道从哪里开始。

比如，我必须写下我扮演的角色，医生，我是如何塑造这个角色的。

米娅：那么，你的出发点是什么？

罗伯：呃。。。

我祖父退休前是一名医生，而我正是基于他。

米娅：好吧，但是怎么做呢？

你跟他谈过吗？

罗布：他一定有各种各样的故事，但他从来没有对自己的工作说太多，即使是现在。

不过他有点权威。

米娅：那你是怎么做到的？

罗伯：我会……我会想象他过去的样子，当时他坐在诊室里听他的病人说话。

米娅：好的，这就是你在报告中解释的。

罗布：对。

米娅：还有气氛的问题，所以在第一个场景中，我们需要知道20世纪50年代医生村的生活有多无聊，所以当候诊室的第一个场景拉开帷幕时，在有人说话之前，有那么长时间的沉默。

然后人们一次又一次地保存着同样的东西，比如“冷，不是吗？”

罗布：是的，每个人都穿着灰色和棕色的衣服，只是排成一排。

米娅：是的，所有这些生产细节。

罗布：我必须分析我在团队中的表现，以及我对自己的了解。

我知道当我们无法达成一致时，我有时会感到非常沮丧。

米娅：是的。

那么，是否有一个人成为了领导者？

罗布：索菲亚做到了。

没关系，她帮我们制定了具体的制作计划。

我想这让我感觉好多了。

米娅：当你明白需要做什么的时候？

罗布：是的。

索菲亚也做了一些研究。

这对发展我们的方法很有用。

米娅：像什么？

罗伯：嗯，她找到了这些20世纪50年代的文章，这些文章讲述了儿童与父母、公众与银行经理或警察等人之间的关系是如何变化的。

米娅：有趣。

你有什么实际问题需要克服吗？

罗布：嗯，在最后的排练中，一切都很顺利，直到最后一幕，医生的第一个病人独自出现在舞台上。

米娅：坐轮椅的那个？

罗布：是的，他做了一个很长的演讲，除了一个聚光灯外，舞台上一片漆黑，然后不知怎么的，它被卡住了，所以在舞台的另一边发光。。。但不管怎样，谢天谢地，我们已经修好了。

米娅：是的，那天晚上很好。

罗布：但当你在这里的时候，米娅。

我想问你关于出国一年的选择。

你建议这样做吗？

米娅：是的，当然。

这是一个在另一个国家学习一年的绝佳机会。

罗伯：我想我很想去，但它看起来很有竞争力，只有有限的名额。

米娅：是的，所以明年当你进入课程的第二年时，你需要在所有的戏剧学习模块中努力学习。

只有成绩优异的学生才能获得学位——你必须证明你对自己的学科非常了解。

罗布：对。

那么你是如何选择去哪里的呢？

米娅：嗯，我决定要一个与我毕业后想做的事情相适应的课程，所以我找了一所注重表演而不是导演的大学。

这取决于你。

然后，在你离开前大约六个月，你必须向计划协调员发送电子邮件，告知你的前三个选择。

我有一个朋友错过了最后期限，没有得到她的第一选择，所以你确实需要在那个阶段继续前进。

你会发现某些地方每个人都很喜欢。

罗布：那时候你不需要写一份个人声明吗？

米娅：是的。

罗布：对。

我会让一些大四的学生给我一些建议。。。

也许看看我能不能读懂他们写的东西。

米娅：我觉得这是个好主意。

我不介意让你看看我做了什么。

你在国外的时候不要犯我犯的错误。

我太投入了，我忘了为我最后一年回到这里做安排。

确保您保持联系，以便他们知道您对可选模块的选择。

你不想错过你喜欢的专业。

罗布：对。

五、Theatre Studies Course 听力答案解析

21. C　这道题问的是：什么帮助Rob 准备扮演一位医生？三个选项都与grandpa 相关。 当Rob 说到write about the role I played, the doctor,... 可知答案即将出现。当Mia 问到Did you talk to him about it? 时，Rob 说...but he never says much about his work... 可知排除A 项。B 项和C 项是答案截然相反的内容，能watched 就不能imagined，所以两者选出一项另一项自动排除。当Mia 再次问到So how did you manage to capture that? 时Rob 答道I’d visualise what he must have been like in the past...visualise 与选项C 中的imagined 对应，确定答案。

22. A　题目问的是：在第一幕中，乡村生活的无聊是由什么体现的？三个选项的内容大有不同：words and phrases，scenery...in dull colours，pauses within conversations。so in the first scene 不难听出来，知道进入22 题。And then people kept saying the same thing over and over... 可以知道是A 项正确，repetition 代替over and over。

23. A　题目问的是：Rob 通过小组学习了解到关于自己的什么？Rob 说so frustrated at time, when we couldn’t agree 可知B 项错误；当

Mia 问到So did one person emerge as the leader? 时Rob 回复说Sophia did，可知C 项错误，他不是leader。后面的she helped us work out

exactly what to do...made me feel better，这里的exactly what to do 与have clear guidelines 相对应，选择A 项。

24. B　题目问的是：为了帮助制作，描述什么的研究材料被使用了？当Rob 说Sophia did some research 可知答案快出现。Mia 继续追问材料的内容，Rob 说了about how relationships between...were shifting，即使中间的部分没有完全听清楚，shifting 也能体现答案changing，所以选B。 25. B　题目问的是：在最后彩排中学生克服了什么问题？当Rob 说in the final rehearsal 时，可知这题答案即将出现，后面说到的one spotlight...shining on the wrong side... 可以确定答案是B。其他两项都没有说到。

26.E　当Mia 说in the second year of the course 时可知答案即将出现，work really hard, prove that you know your subject really well 可确定答案是E，prove...well 与show ability 对应。

27.D　Rob 直接问So how did you choose where to go? 需要注意答案即将出现，Mia 说了很长的一段话，其中有关键词fit in with what I wanted, emphasis on acting...It depends on you. 可知答案是D 项，D 项“确定学院的重点是相关的”与这部分词汇相对应。

28.A　紧接着Mia 继续说email... 与28 题sending in... 相对应，答案即将出现。Mia 说有个朋友missed the deadline and didn’t get her first choice，然后又说you need to get a move... 可知答案是A be on time。

29.G　Rob 问到write a personal statement...? 进入第29 题答案区域，Rob 说final year students to give me some tips，可知答案是G ask for help。

30.C　对话的最后说到在year abroad 时该怎么做，Mia 介绍了她的经历，got so involved I forgot all about making arrangements... 所以选择plan for the final year。本题容易误选为F 项，因为里面有arrangements，但是音频未涉及travel, booking，所以不对。
