听力文本对照

听力片段一：

For one thing, I just do not do uniforms.And for another, deciding what words are good and what words are bad is actually not very easy.And it's not very fun. And when parts of your job are not easy or fun,you kind of look for an excuse not to do them.So if I had to think of some kind of occupation as a metaphor for my work, I would much rather be a fisherman.I want to throw my big net into the deep, blue ocean of Englishand see what marvelous creatures I can drag up from the bottom.

知识点1:词汇表达
1. For one thing….for another
2. occupation /ˌɑː.kjəˈpeɪ.ʃən/ n.职业
3. metaphor/ˈmet̬.ə.fɔːr/n.比喻
4. marvelous/ˈmɑr•və•ləs/ adj.特别棒的
5. creature/ˈkriː.tʃɚ/n. 生物

知识点2:重音节奏
1. 对比词会重读
1) For one thing….And for another这是一个对比词
2) deciding what words are goodand what words are bad is actually not very easy 表达中good和bad是对比词。然后easy 形容词而且又在句尾所有放慢语速，重读。后面It’s not very fun. 同样的道理。Fun是内容词，又再句尾，要重读。

2. 状语从句前面没说完，经常会语调上扬，但是这个不是绝对。
And when parts of your job are not easy or fun（上扬）,you kind of look for an excuse not to do them（声音拉长）.

备注：重读的三种方式（音量升高，音调上扬，语速放慢声音拉长）

3. 在听到的句子中，重读的名词，一定要重视，因为这一定是表达内容的核心词。

So if I had to think of some kind of occupation as a metaphor for my work, I would much rather be a fisherman.就算只听到这三个单词，也能知道整句话的意思。

听力片段二：

But why do people want me to direct traffic, when I would much rather go fishing?Well, I blame the Queen. Why do I blame the Queen?Well, first of all, I blame the Queen because it's funny.But secondly, I blame the Queen because dictionaries have really not changed.Our idea of what a dictionary is has not changed since her reign.The only thing that Queen Victoria would not be amused by in modern dictionariesis our inclusion of the F-word, which has happened in American dictionaries since 1965.

知识点1:词汇表达
reign /reɪn/ n.统治
inclusion /ɪnˈkluː.ʒən/n.包括


知识点2:逻辑和发音
1. but 说完but 很多时候都会间断一下，给听者一个思考的小空间。而且but是一个非常重要的转折逻辑词，一定要非常注意。

2.first of all出现，一定在脑海中要知道后面会有secondly 第二，但是无法确定有没有第三…

3. 意群的听力划分。意群是意思的最小表达单位。意群英语叫thought groups.就可以知道是词汇群体的组合，表达一个整体的意思。

例：Our idea of what a dictionary is has not changed since her reign.
第一个意群：our idea of what a dictionary is ….
第二个意群：has not changed…
第三个意群：since her reign

另外注意：在最后一个单词，一般都会放慢语速。所以reign尤其突出。


听力片段三：

So, there's this guy, right? Victorian era.James Murray, first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.I do not have that hat. I wish I had that hat.So he's really responsible for a lot of what we consider modern in dictionaries today.When a guy who looks like that, in that hat, is the face of modernity, you have a problem.And so, James Murray could get a job on any dictionary today.There'd be virtually no learning curve.


知识点:逻辑

When a guy who looks like that, in that hat, is the face of modernity, you have a problem.

1) 定语从句：who looks like that
2) 插入语：in that hat
3) 状语从句部分的主谓宾：When a guy is the face of modernity
4) 真正主句：you have a problem. 而且陈述句结尾，语调下降。
