FAMILY EXCURSIONS剑桥雅思12-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、FAMILY EXCURSIONS听力原文：

TC employee:Hi.Can I help you?

VISITOR:I'd like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families?

TC employee:Sure.How about taking your family for a cruise?

We have a steamship that takes passengers out several times a day-it's over 100 year's old.

VISITOR:That sounds interesting.

How long is the trip?

TC employee:About an hour and a half.

And don't forget to take pictures of the mountains.

They're all around you when you are on the boat and they look fantastic.

VISITOR:Ok.And I assume there's a caféor something on board?

TC employee:Sure.How old are your children?

VISITOR:Er,my daughter's 15 and my son's 7.

TC employee:Right.Well there are various things you can do once you've crossed the lake,to make a day of it.

One thing that's very popular is a visit to the Country Farm.

You're met off the boat by the farmer and he'll take you to the holding pens,where the sheep are kept.

Children love feeding them!

VISITOR:My son would love that.

He really likes animals.

TC employee:Well,there's also a 40-munite trek round the farm on the horse,if he wants.

VISITOR:Do you think he'd manage it?

He hasn't done that before.

TC employee:Sure.It's suitable for complete beginners.

VISITOR:Ah,good.

TC employee:And again,visitors are welcome to explore the farm on their own,as long as they take care to close gates and so on.

There are some very beautiful gardens along the side of the lake which also belong to the farm-they'll be just at their best now.

You could easily spend an hour or two there.

VISITOR:Ok.Well that all sounds good.

And can we get lunch there?

TC employee:You can,and it's very good,though it's not included in the basic cost.

You pay when you get there.

VISITOR:Right.

VISITOR:So is there anything else to do over that side of the lake?

TC employee:Well,what you can do is take a bike over on the ship and then go on cycling trip.

There's a trail there called the Back Road-you could easily spend three or four hours exploring it,and the scenery's wonderful.

They'll give you a map when you get your ticket for the cruise-there's no extra charge.

VISITOR:What's the trail like in terms of difficulty?

TC employee:Quite challenging in places.

It wouldn't be suitable for your seven-year-old.

It needs someone who's got a bit more experience.

VISITOR:Hmm.Well,my daughter loves cycling and so do I,so maybe the two of us could go,and my wife and son could stay on the farm.

That might work out quite well.

But we don't have bikes here…is there somewhere we could rent them?

TC employee:Yes,there's a place here in the city.

It's called Ratchesons.

VISITOR:I'll just make a note of that,er,how do you spell it?

TC employee:R-A-T-C-H-E-S-O-N-S.

It's just by the cruise ship terminal.

VISITOR:OK.

TC employee:You'd also need to pick up a repair kit for the bike from there to take along with you,and you'd need to take along a snack and some water-it'd be best to get those in the city.

VISITOR:Fine.That shouldn't be a problem.

And I assume I can rent a helmet from the bike place?

TC employee:Sure,you should definitely get that.

It's a great ride,but you want to be well prepared because it's very remote-you won't see any shops round there,or anywhere to stay,so you need to get back in time for the last boat.

VISITOR:Yeah.So what sort of prices are we looking at here?

TC employee:Let's see,that'd be one adult and one child for cruise with farm tour,that's＄117,and an adult and a child for the cruise only so that's＄214 dollars altogether.

Oh,wait a minute,how old did you say your daughter was?

VISITOR:15.

TC employee:Then I'm afraid it's＄267 because she has to pay the adult fare,which is＄75 instead of the child fare which is＄22-sorry about that.

VISITOR:That's Ok.Er,so how do…

二、FAMILY EXCURSIONS听力中文翻译：

TC员工：嗨。我能帮助你吗？

参观者：我想知道你们是否有适合家庭的短途旅行？

TC员工：当然可以。带你的家人去游船怎么样？

我们有一艘轮船，一天可以载乘客出去好几次，已经有100多年的历史了。

客人听起来很有趣。

旅行多长时间？

TC员工：大约一个半小时。

别忘了给山拍照。

当你在船上的时候，它们就在你的周围，它们看起来很棒。

参观者：好的。我猜船上有咖啡馆什么的？

TC员工：当然可以。你的孩子多大了？

客人呃，我女儿15岁，儿子7岁。

TC员工：对。一旦你过了湖，你可以做各种各样的事情，让你的日子过得愉快。

一件很受欢迎的事是参观乡村农场。

农夫在船下迎接你，他会带你去养羊的围栏。

孩子们喜欢喂他们！

客人我儿子会喜欢的。

他真的很喜欢动物。

TC雇员：嗯，如果他愿意的话，还可以骑着马在农场周围跋涉40英里。

客人你认为他能做到吗？

他以前从未这样做过。

TC员工：当然可以。它适合完全初学者。

参观者：啊，很好。

TC员工：同样，欢迎游客自己探索农场，只要他们注意关闭大门等。

湖边有一些非常漂亮的花园，它们也是农场的——现在它们正处于最佳状态。

你可以在那里轻松地呆上一两个小时。

参观者：好的。听起来不错。

我们能在那里吃午饭吗？

TC员工：你可以，这很好，虽然它不包括在基本成本中。

你到了那里就得付钱。

参观者：对。

客人那么，在湖的那一边还有别的事要做吗？

TC员工：嗯，你可以在船上骑自行车，然后去骑自行车旅行。

那里有一条小径叫做“后路”-你可以很容易地花上三四个小时探索它，风景很美。

当你拿到游轮票时，他们会给你一张地图-不另外收费。

客人就难度而言，这条小路是什么样子的？

TC员工：在一些地方很有挑战性。

这不适合你七岁的孩子。

它需要一个更有经验的人。

参观者：嗯。嗯，我女儿喜欢骑自行车，我也是，所以也许我们两个可以去，我的妻子和儿子可以留在农场。

那可能会很好。

但我们这里没有自行车…有地方可以租吗？

TC员工：是的，这座城市里有个地方。

这叫棘轮。

客人我会记下来的，呃，你怎么拼写？

TC员工：R-A-T-C-H-E-S-O-N-S。

就在邮轮码头旁边。

参观者：好的。

TC员工：你还需要从那里拿一个自行车修理包，随身携带，你还需要带一份零食和一些水-最好在城里买。

参观者：好的。这应该不是问题。

我想我可以从自行车店租一顶头盔？

TC员工：当然，你一定会明白的。

这是一次很棒的旅程，但你要做好充分的准备，因为它非常偏远，你不会在附近看到任何商店，也不会在任何地方停留，所以你需要及时赶回来赶最后一艘船。

参观者：是的。那么，我们在看什么样的价格呢？

TC员工：让我想想，这是一个成人和一个孩子参加农场巡游，总共117美元，一个成年人和一个儿童参加巡游，一共214美元。

等等，你说你女儿多大了？

参观者：15人。

TC员工：那么恐怕是267美元，因为她要付成人票价75美元，而不是儿童票价22美元-对此很抱歉。

参观者：没关系。呃，那你怎么…

五、FAMILY EXCURSIONS听力答案解析

1.词性判定名词。Take photos of定位，原文中替换结构为take pictures of，故答案为mountains。

2.词性判定名词。利用前面并列结构中的children和sheep初步定位答案出现位置。题干中40-minute可以直接定位答案，题干中的介词on不可忽视，原文直接对应on a horse故答案为horse。

3.词性判定地点名词。由题干内容可以得知答案为farm的一部分，初步判断应该是先提及farm。Walk in在原文中替换为explore，后面的内容中符合词性的只有garden一词。

4.词性判定名词。注意答案是先出现，所以在任务提及名词lunch时就应该有所留意，后面not included in the basic cost.You pay….等内容则进一步确认，答案就是前面提及的lunch。

5.词性判定名词。利用小标题Cycling trips以及并列句中的Back Road初步定位。原文中将被动变为了主动，但利用词性我们不难判断原文give you a map中的map就是答案。

6.词性判定名词。题干中suitable定位，原文没有替换，但要注意用了否定，后面it needs someone…才是符合原文的肯定表达，故答案为后面出现的名词experience。

7.词性判定地点名词。利用hire定位，原文替换为rent，后面发现答案其实为拼写题，照着写就行。

8.词性判定名词。利用并列结构a repair kit(原词出现),food and drink(替换为：snack and some water)定位。题干中的hire依然替换成了rent，答案为helmet。

9.词性判定名词。直接用no定位，原文中替换为you won’t see any shops round there。故答案为shops。

10.词性判定为金额。注意题干中的total cost，它暗示答案是总额，按照雅思一贯的出题原则，原文不会直接给出答案，所以答案不要确定太早。绕了几圈发现267为最终结果。
