Hiring A Public Room剑桥雅思11听力-原文翻译及答案解析

一、Hiring A Public Room 听力原文：

OFFICIAL:Hello?

WOMAN:Oh, hello.

I wanted to enquire about hiring a room in the Village Hall, for the evening of September the first.

OFFICIAL:Let me just see ...

Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.

There's our Main Hall - that's got seating for  200 people.

Or there's the Charlton Room ...

WOMAN:Sorry?

OFFICIAL:The Charlton Room - C-H-A-R L-T-O-N.

That's got seating for up to one hundred.

WOMAN:Well, we're organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and we're hoping for at least 150 people, so I think we'll go for the Main Hall.

How much would that cost?

OFFICIAL:Let's see.

You wanted it for the evening of September 1st?

WOMAN:Yes, that's a Saturday.

OFFICIAL:So from six pm to midnight that'd be ￡11.5 - that's the weekend price, it's ￡75 on weekdays.

WOMAN:That's all right.

OFFICIAL:And I have to tell you there's also a deposit of ￡250, which is returnable of course as long as there's no damage.

But we do insist that this is paid in cash, we don't take cards for that.

You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like though - cash, credit card, cheque ...

WOMAN:Oh, well I suppose that's OK.

So does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on?

OFFICIAL:Oh, yes.

WOMAN:And what about Parking?

OFFICIAL: Yeah.

that's all included.

The only thing that isn't included is ...

you said you were organising a dinner?

WOMAN:Yeah.

OFFICIAL:Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that.It's ￡25.

It's got very good facilities - good quality cookers and fridges and so on.

WOMAN:OK, well I suppose that's all right.

We can cover the cost in our entry charges.

OFFICIAL:Right.

SO I'll make a note of that.

Now there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.

For example,  you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.

WOMAN:Oh, really?

OFFICIAL:It's quite straightforward, I'll give you the details later on.

And about a week or ten days before your event you'll need to contact the caretaker, that's Mr Evans, to make the arrangements for entry - he'll sort that out with you.

WOMAN:And do I give him the payment as well?

OFFICIAL:NO, you do that directly with me.

WOMAN:Right.

NOW is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?

OFFICIAL:Well, as you'll be aware, of course the building is no smoking throughout.

WOMAN:Of course.

OFFICIAL:NOW, are you having a band?

WOMAN:Yes.

OFFICIAL:Well, they'll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.

You can open that from inside but don't forget to lock it at the end.

WOMAN:OK.

OFFICIAL:And talking of bands, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door - that's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level.

It's a legal requirement.

WOMAN:Sure.

Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another so we don't want anything too loud.

Oh, that reminds me, we'll be having speeches - are there any microphones available?

OFFICIAL:Yeah.

Just let the caretaker know, he'll get those for you.

Right, now when the event is over we do ask that the premises are left in good condition.

So there's a locked cupboard and you'll be informed of the code you need to open that.

It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so on.

WOMAN:Right.

So what do we need to do after everyone's gone?

Sweep the floors I suppose?

OFFICIAL:Well, actually they have to be washed, not just swept.

Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags, so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door.

WOMAN:Of course.

We'll make sure everything's left tidy.

Oh, and I forgot to ask, I presume we can have decorations in the room?

OFFICIAL: Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.

WOMAN:Sure.

OFFICIAL:And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.

WOMAN:I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.

二、Hiring A Public Room 听力中文翻译：

官员：喂？

女士：哦，你好。

我想询问9月1日晚上在村政府租用一个房间的情况。

官员：让我看看。。。

是的，那天晚上我们两个房间都有空。

这是我们的大厅，可容纳200人。

或者是查尔顿的房间。。。

女士：对不起？

官方：查尔顿会议室-C-H-A-R L-T-O-N。

有100个座位。

女士：嗯，我们正在组织一次晚宴，为一家慈善机构筹款，我们希望至少有150人参加，所以我想我们会去主厅。

那要花多少钱？

官员：让我看看。

9月1日晚上你想要它？

女士：是的，那是星期六。

官员：所以从下午六点到午夜￡11.5-这是周末的价格￡75个工作日。

女人：没关系。

官员：我得告诉你还有￡250，只要没有损坏，当然可以退货。

但我们坚持这是用现金支付的，我们不接受这种信用卡。

你可以按你喜欢的方式支付房间的实际租金-现金、信用卡、支票。。。

女士：哦，我想没关系。

那么费用是否包括桌椅等的使用费？

官员：哦，是的。

女：那停车场呢？

官员：是的。

全部包括在内。

唯一没有包括的是。。。

你说你在组织晚餐？

女人：是的。

官员：嗯，如果你想用厨房的话，你就得付额外的钱。它是￡25

它有很好的设施——质量很好的炊具和冰箱等等。

女士：好吧，我想没关系。

我们可以在入境费中支付费用。

官员：对。

所以我会记下来的。

现在，在活动之前，你只需要考虑一到两件事。

例如，如果你计划在用餐期间播放音乐，你必须考虑获得许可证。

女人：哦，真的吗？

官员：很简单，稍后我会告诉你细节。

大约在活动开始前一周或十天，你需要联系管理员，即埃文斯先生，安排入场事宜，他会与你解决的。

女人：我也给他钱吗？

官员：不，你直接对我这样做。

女：对。

现在我需要知道活动期间发生了什么吗？

官员：好的，你会知道的，当然整栋楼都是禁烟的。

女士：当然。

官员：现在，你有乐队了吗？

女：是的。

官员：嗯，他们会有很多设备，所以他们不应该使用前门，而应该把车停在后面，然后使用那里的舞台门。

你可以从里面打开，但别忘了在最后把它锁上。

女士：好的。

官员：说到乐队，我相信我不需要告诉你这一点，但你必须确保没有人摆弄防火门旁的黑匣子——这是一个当音量达到一定水平时就会切入的系统。

这是法律要求。

女士：当然。

不管怎样，我们希望人们能够互相交谈，这样我们就不需要太大声的声音。

哦，这提醒了我，我们将有演讲-有麦克风吗？

官员：是的。

只要告诉管理员，他会帮你拿的。

好的，现在活动结束后，我们确实要求房屋保持良好状态。

所以有一个锁着的橱柜，你会被告知打开它所需的代码。

它有所有的清洁设备、刷子和洗涤剂等。

女：对。

那么，在所有人都走了之后，我们需要做什么呢？

我想是扫地吧？

官员：嗯，事实上，它们必须清洗，而不仅仅是打扫。

然后你会被提供黑色塑料袋，所以所有的垃圾都必须收集起来并留在门外。

女士：当然。

我们会确保一切都整洁。

哦，我忘了问，我想我们可以在房间里布置装饰品吧？

官员：是的，但事后你必须把它们取下来。

女士：当然。

官员：椅子和桌子应该整齐地堆放在房间的后面。

女士：我会确保有几个人帮我。

五、Hiring A Public Room 听力答案解析

Charlton。考生看到题目呈现的___ Room，即可得知空格中需要填写的信息为某种房间。当录音中范例的信息结束之后，考生就需要留意答案可能要出现了。录音中直接给出了one hundred这个数字，对应的是Charlton Room，故答案为Charlton。如果答案是一个常见的词，录音中不会给出拼写，否则就会拼写出来。考生在听到录音中的单词拼写时要特别留意。115。通过读题考生可以预测空格需要填写价格。雅思听力考试中填写数字信息的时候，录音中往往容易出现两个或以上的数字信息，因此特别要求考生在录音中抓取符合题目要求的答案。此题在录音中就分别出现了115与75两个数字，分别对应weekend 与weekdays，根据题目中的Saturday，选取115作为答案。cash。 通过读题考生可知空格需要填写___ payment，即某种付款方式。录音中deposit的信息出现之后，考生就需要留意答案可能要出现了。当听到paid in cash时可知使用现金支付，答案为cash。parking。通过读题考生可知空格需要填写include ____，即包括在费用内的项目。录音中include use of tables and chairs的信息出现之后，考生就要留意答案可能要出现了。随后女士询问parking，工作人员回答that’s all included，即可判定答案为parkiing。music。题目中呈现的问题为___ license，表明空格需填写形容词或名词。录音中首先出现you’ll have to see about getting a license，此时即意味着答案即将出现。随后听到if we’re planning to have any music during the meal即可从中找出符合答案的词。故答案为music。该题的重点是考生千万不要在看到题目时就认为答案词一定在license之前出现。我们在听录音时一定要照顾前后。entry。通过读题考生可知空格需要填写arrange ____。当录音中出现contact the caretaker, that’s Mr Evan之时，考生就需要留意答案可能要出现了。当听到arrangements时可知该词是arrange的替换词，答案在其后出现。故答案为entry。stage。通过读题考生可知空格需要填写____ door。当录音中出现the building is no smoking之时，考生就需要留意答案可能要出现了。随后可听到park their van round the back and use the stage floor there，可知stage即为答案。此处录音中存在易混淆的短语front door，需要留意front door前面的rather than，意为“而不是”，因此可排除。code。题目中呈现的问题为know the ___ for the cleaning cupboard。表明空位需填写名词。当录音中出现when the event is over之时，考生就需要留意答案可能要出现了。随即可以听到there’s a locked cupboard表明答案即将出现，稍后的you’ll be informed of the code you need to open there中的名词code即为答案。录音中的be informed of对应题目中的know。floors。题目中呈现的问题为the ___ must be washed。表明空格需填写名词（被清洗）。开始听到录音cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent，考生可能会误认为该句是答案。但其实此句是指清洁用的用具、刷子与清洁剂。或者考生也可以藉由答案按照要求只能是一个词，但此处出现三个并列名词而排除此处是答案的可能性。随后我们能够听到sweep the floors与之后工作人员回答的actually they have to be washed, not just swept来确定答案为floors。decorations。题目中呈现的问题为all ___ must be taken down。表明空格需填写名词（被取下）。当录音中出现black plastic bags之时，考生就需要留意答案可能要出现了。随即可以听到女士说we can have decorations in the room与之后工作人员回答 的but you must take them down来确定答案为decorations。
