Goodbye Party for John剑桥雅思4听力-原文翻译及答案解析

一、Goodbye Party for John听力原文：

LISA:Hi TONY,thanks ever so much for coming.

You know we've been asked to organize something for Johns farewell?

TONY:Yeah,sure,it's about time we started working out details.

LISA:Exactly.We don't want to leave it so late that it's double the work.

TONY:Mmm,mm.right,do you want me to take notes?

LISA:That'd be great,thanks.

TONY:Right,first thing is,when is the best time to hold it?

LISA:Well,he leaves on the twenty-fourth of December.

TONY:So what about the twenty-second?

LISA:Yeah.I think that's about right.

We want it quite near the time,don't we?

TONY:Sure,and what about a venue?

In college?A hotel?

LISA:I think a hotel will probably work out rather expensive,and I've been looking at the College Dining Room;that seems pretty reasonable.

TONY:Fine,yeah,why not?

LISA:And then we ought to be thinking about invitations...Who mustn't we forget to invite?

TONY:Well,obviously John and his wife.

LISA:Right.

TONY:And the Director.

LISA:Ah ha.

TONY:The office Staff.

LISA:Yep,and all the teachers and all the students.

TONY:Anyone else?

LISA:Faculty Heads?

TONY:No.better draw the line.

I don't think it's necessary.

LISA:Yeah,you're right.

TONY:I don't mind writing the invitations.

When shall we get them out for?

LISA:Enough time but not too early.

What about the fifteenth of December?

TONY:Well,there are exams on the sixteenth-better avoid them.

LISA:Tenth?

TONY:Yeah,that should do it.

LISA:So what does that leave?

Oh yes,a present

TONY:Would you mind doing that?

LISA:No.not at all;we usually go round with an envelope during coffee break,don't we?

TONY:Yeah,coffee breaks always the best time,'cos people have got their money handy.

LISA:Yeah,exactly.

Do we suggest an amount?

Or does it seem a bit unfair?

TONY:No.I think people welcome it.

We suggested six dollars last time,is that OK?

LISA:Yeah,plenty I would have thought,which should leave us with about ninety dollars.

TONY:Have you any ideas for presents?

LISA:Well,I've been having a little think.

I thought,you know,he loves music.

TONY:Yeah,and books.

LISA:So,I thought I’d check on prices for,well,perhaps CD players.

TONY:Yeah,that's a,that's a good idea,and also I thought maybe,you know,a set of dictionaries.

I heard him say he needed a good one.

LISA:The other thing he was saying last week was that his computer printer had broken.

TONY:Umm.No.I'd be really frightened about getting the wrong type.

LISA:OK,yeah.

TONY:The other thing is something for the home-Jill suggested a coffee maker.

LISA:Oh yeah.I'll certainly find out what they cost.

OK,have you got all that down?

TONY:Yes.

LISA:Now we need to think a little more about the money.

I know we've got a set amount from the Social Fund.

TONY:Right,what does that cover?

LISA:It's meant to cover the cost of the room.

TONY:Yeah.

LISA:And a certain amount for food.

TONY:And also drinks?

LISA:Oh yeah,certainly.

TONY:But will it be enough?

LISA:What we've done in the past is to ask guests to bring some snacks

TONY:Right.

LISA:We don't ask them to bring more drinks because we figure that's...that should come from the Social Fund.

TONY:OK.Anything else for the guests to bring?

LISA:Well,some music,because there'll be a tape deck there in the room,and we can have some dancing later on.

TONY:Anything else?

LISA:Well,it's just a thought,but a couple of years ago we had a really good party where we set up,you know,some simple games.

TONY:Yeah,great.Wasn't it based on photos,from the students and teachers?

LISA:That's right.

TONY:So we should ask the guests to bring photos.

OK.I'll put it on the invitations.

LISA:Now the last thing is,who shall we ask to do the speech?

TONY:Don't you think it might be nice to have one of the students?

LISA:Well then,the Student Leader?

TONY:Yeah,much better than the Director giving speeches again.

LISA:OK then,I'll ask her.

Lovely!So,is that all?

TONY:Looks like it.

LISA:Great.Thanks ever so much...(fade out)

二、Goodbye Party for John听力中文翻译：

丽莎：嗨，托尼，非常感谢你的到来。

你知道我们被要求为约翰的告别做点什么吗？

托尼：是的，当然，我们该开始研究细节了。

莉莎：没错。我们不想把它拖得太晚以至于工作量加倍。

托尼：嗯，嗯。好的，你想让我做笔记吗？

丽莎：那太好了，谢谢。

托尼：对，首先，什么时候举行最好？

丽莎：嗯，他12月24日离开。

托尼：那第二十二场呢？

丽莎：是的。我想这差不多是对的。

我们希望离时间很近，不是吗？

托尼：当然可以，那么场地呢？

在大学里？酒店？

丽莎：我想酒店可能会很贵，我一直在看大学餐厅；这似乎很合理。

托尼：很好，是的，为什么不呢？

丽莎：然后我们应该考虑邀请。。。我们不能忘记邀请谁？

托尼：嗯，显然是约翰和他的妻子。

丽莎：对。

托尼：还有导演。

丽莎：啊哈。

托尼：办公室职员。

丽莎：是的，还有所有的老师和学生。

托尼：还有其他人吗？

莉莎：系主任？

托尼：不。最好划清界限。

我认为没有必要。

莉莎：是的，你说得对。

托尼：我不介意写请帖。

我们什么时候把它们弄出来？

丽莎：时间够了，但也不太早。

十二月十五日怎么样？

托尼：嗯，十六号有考试，最好避开。

丽莎：十号？

托尼：是的，应该可以。

丽莎：那还剩下什么？

哦，是的，一份礼物

托尼：你介意那样做吗？

莉莎：不，一点也不；我们通常在咖啡休息时间带着信封四处转转，不是吗？

托尼：是啊，咖啡休息时间总是最好的时间，因为人们手头都有自己的钱。

莉莎：没错。

我们建议的金额是多少？

还是有点不公平？

托尼：不。我想人们欢迎它。

上次我们建议六美元，可以吗？

莉莎：是的，我想已经够多了，这应该给我们留下大约90美元。

托尼：你对礼物有什么想法吗？

丽莎：嗯，我一直在想。

我想，你知道，他喜欢音乐。

托尼：是的，还有书。

丽莎：所以，我想我应该看看CD播放器的价格。

托尼：是的，这是个好主意，而且我还想也许，你知道，一套字典。

我听到他说他需要一个好的。

丽莎：上周他说的另一件事是他的电脑打印机坏了。

托尼：嗯。不，我真的很害怕弄错类型。

丽莎：好的，是的。

托尼：另一件事是给家里买的——吉尔建议买个咖啡壶。

丽莎：哦，是的。我一定会弄清楚它们的价格。

好的，你都记下来了吗？

托尼：是的。

丽莎：现在我们需要多考虑一下钱的问题。

我知道我们从社会基金中得到了一定数额的资金。

托尼：对，那包括什么？

丽莎：这是为了支付房间的费用。

托尼：是的。

丽莎：还有一定数量的食物。

托尼：还有饮料？

丽莎：哦，是的，当然。

托尼：但是够了吗？

丽莎：我们过去做的就是让客人带些零食

托尼：对。

丽莎：我们不要求他们多带些饮料，因为我们认为这是。。。这应该来自社会基金。

托尼：好的。还有什么要客人带的吗？

丽莎：嗯，一些音乐，因为房间里会有一个录音带组，我们以后可以跳舞。

托尼：还有别的吗？

莉莎：嗯，这只是一个想法，但几年前我们开了一个很好的派对，我们在那里设置了一些简单的游戏。

托尼：是的，很好。这不是基于学生和老师的照片吗？

丽莎：没错。

托尼：所以我们应该请客人带照片来。

好啊我会把它写在请柬上。

丽莎：最后一件事是，我们该请谁来做演讲？

托尼：你不觉得有一个学生会很好吗？

丽莎：那么，学生领袖呢？

托尼：是啊，比导演再次演讲好多了。

莉莎：那好吧，我去问问她。

美丽的那么，就这些吗？

托尼：看起来像。

丽莎：太好了。非常感谢。

五、Goodbye Party for John听力答案解析

Question 1 College Dining Room.Tony首先问到...and what about a venue?In college?A hotel?venue的意思是“场地，场所”，此词为卷面中的定位信号词，所以当听到这个词时，考生可知答案即将出现。随后听到I think a hotel will probably work out rather expensive，and I’ve been looking at the College Dining Room;that seems pretty reasonable.hotel有一定干扰性，但随后提到酒店有些贵，大学餐厅不错，因此答案为College Dining Room。

Question 2 office staff.考生听到第1题的信息后，接着听到应该被邀请的人员，这里定位信号词颇多。考生可依次听到John and his wife，Director，接下来便提到the office staff，因此答案是office staff。

Question 3 students.本题的答案与前一道题的答案连得很紧，在这种多个并列信息点一一陈述的题目中往往会出现答案很紧密的情况，值得考生关注。上一题的答案结束后，录音中很快就出现了all the teachers and all the students，故答案是students。

Question 4 10th December.本题的难点在于干扰项较多，先是15th December，然后是16th。录音内容中提到16号有考试，要尽量避免在15号发送邀请函。随后听到tenth。接着，Tony说that should do it，因此确定答案是10th December，考生在听的过程中如果无法正确判断时，要注意答案往往偏后这一规律。

Question 5 coffee break/coffee breaks.从听前预测中可判断出本题的答案是时间，录音内容中提到we usually go round with an envelope during coffee break，随后又听到coffee break’s always the best time，其中coffee break重复了两次，注意多次重复的单词往往存在着重要考点。

Question 6 6.从听前预测中可判断出本题答案是金额，录音中提到We suggested six dollars last time，故答案为6。

Question 7 set of dictionaries/dictionaries/a good dictionary.第七题的定位信号词是CD players，录音中提到CD后接着提到...also I thought maybe，you know，a set of dictionaries.考生应意识到set of dictionaries是答案。

Question 8（some）music（/some）music tapes（/some）tapes.录音内容中提到some music，because there’ll be a tape deck there in the room，and we can have some dancing later on，即“那里有磁带播放器，他们可以在聚会之后跳舞，因此要带些音乐磁带。”这道题需要一定的理解能力，故难度略高。

Question 9 photos/photographs.第9题的定位信号词是bring，问的是客人需要带的物品。录音中提到So we should ask the guests to bring photos，故答案是photos。

Question 10 speech.录音中提到...the last thing is，who shall we ask to do the speech？即“最后我们请谁做演讲呢？”这里的“the last thing”可以很清晰地提醒考生最后一道题的答案即将出现。随后录音提到Don’t you think it might be nice to have one of the students？“你觉得我们请个学生怎么样？”Wellthen，the Student Leader“？那么学生代表怎样？”Yeah，much better than the Director giving speeches again.OK then，I’ll ask her“.好，比领导再作一遍演讲强多了，就请她吧。”在本题当中，Student Leader同student representative意思相近，speech的多次出现提醒考生此词为答案。
