Accommodation Request Form劍橋雅思4-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Accommodation Request Form聽力原文：

LYNDA:SARA,I've heard that you want to move into a homestay family.

Is that correct?

SARA:Yes,that's right.

I've been staying with my aunt and now my cousin is arriving from Singapore and my aunt needs the room for him.

LYNDA:Oh,that's bad luck.

Well,I'll need to get some particulars first.

SARA,what's your full name?

SARA:SARA Lim,and that's SARA without the'h'at the end.

LYNDA:Mmm.

How old are you.

SARA?

SARA:Twenty-three,only just.

It was my birthday on the twenty-first of August.

LYNDA:Happy birthday for yesterday.

How long have you been in Australia?

SARA:A year in Adelaide and six months in Sydney.

I prefer Sydney,I've got more friends here.

LYNDA:What’s your address at your aunts house?

SARA:Flat one,five three nine Forest Road,Canterbury.

And the post code is two,o,three,six.

LYNDA:OK.

What are you studying now?

SARA:I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I'm doing Academic English,because I'm trying to get into Medicine next year.

LYNDA:That sounds good,but it'll take you a long time.

When would you like to move out from your aunt's?

SARA:My cousin arrives on Friday morning,so I'd better be out on Thursday.

LYNDA:What,the seventh of September?

SARA:Yes,that's right.

LYNDA:That doesn't leave us much time.

Right.

OK.

I need to know what kind of accommodation you'd like,so I can get you something suitable.

SARA:Can I share a room with someone else?

I've been alone in my room at my aunt's and I've always shared with my sister and I like that.

LYNDA:Yes,fine.

That'll save you money too.

Would you like to live with a family or do you think that a single person would be better for you?

I have lots of very nice single people on my books.

SARA:Do you have any women living alone,retired women?

LYNDA:Yes.

I have quite a few whose children have grown up and left home.

In fact,I have some really lovely retired ladies,living by themselves,who just love the company of students.

Most of them live in flats,but that's not a problem for you,is it?

SARA:Not at all.

I'm used to that.

My aunt lives in a flat too,remember.

I’m not used to a big house with a garden,swimming pool,pets and all that.

LYNDA:OK,fine.

I know quite a bit about what you want now.

I should let you know that your rent will be a hundred and sixty dollars per week.

You'll have to pay me three hundred and twenty dollars as a deposit before you move in.

The deposit is as insurance,in case you break something.

You'll need to pay monthly to me,by cash or cheque,I don't mind.

You don't need to pay for gas,electricity or water,but you will need to pay your proportion of the phone bill.

Most families do that on an honour system,but you'll have to wait and see.

SARA:Mmm.

LYNDA:Have you got any more questions for me?

SARA:When will you know where I can go?

LYNDA:I'll work on it now,so come and see me tomorrow and I should have some news for you then.

SARA:Thanks a lot.

LYNDA:Goodbye.

See you tomorrow-after lunch would be better for me.

SARA:OK,see you then.

Bye.

二、Accommodation Request Form聽力中文翻譯：

琳達：薩拉，我聽說你想搬進寄宿家庭。

對嗎？

莎拉：是的，沒錯。

我一直和我姑姑住在一起，現(xiàn)在我表弟從新加坡來，我姑姑需要給他一個房間。

琳達：哦，真倒霉。

好吧，我需要先了解一些細節(jié)。

莎拉，你的全名是什么？

莎拉：莎拉·林，那是莎拉，結(jié)尾沒有“h”。

琳達：嗯。

你多大了？

薩拉？

莎拉：二十三，才剛剛好。

8月21日是我的生日。

琳達：昨天生日快樂。

你在澳大利亞多久了？

莎拉：在阿德萊德一年，在悉尼六個月。

我更喜歡悉尼，因為我在這里有更多的朋友。

琳達：你阿姨家的地址是什么？

薩拉：坎特伯雷森林路五號三九號一號公寓。

郵政編碼是2，o，3，6。

琳達：好的。

你現(xiàn)在在學(xué)什么？

莎拉：我在阿德萊德學(xué)習(xí)普通英語，現(xiàn)在我在學(xué)習(xí)學(xué)術(shù)英語，因為我想明年進入醫(yī)學(xué)界。

琳達：聽起來不錯，但要花很長時間。

你想什么時候離開你姑媽家？

莎拉：我表妹星期五早上來，所以我最好星期四出去。

琳達：什么，九月七日？

莎拉：是的，沒錯。

琳達：我們沒有多少時間了。

正當(dāng)

好啊

我需要知道你想要什么樣的住宿，這樣我才能給你弄到合適的。

莎拉：我能和別人合住一個房間嗎？

我一個人呆在我姑姑家的房間里，我總是和我姐姐一起住，我喜歡這樣。

琳達：是的，很好。

那也能幫你省錢。

你想和家人住在一起，還是覺得單身對你更合適？

我的書上有很多非常好的單身人士。

莎拉：你有沒有單身的女人，退休的女人？

琳達：是的。

我有不少孩子已經(jīng)長大離開了家。

事實上，我有一些非常可愛的退休女士，她們獨自生活，她們喜歡和學(xué)生們在一起。

他們大多住在公寓里，但這對你來說不是問題，是嗎？

莎拉：一點也不。

我已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了。

我姑姑也住在公寓里，記得嗎。

我不習(xí)慣有花園、游泳池、寵物之類的大房子。

琳達：好的，很好。

我知道你現(xiàn)在想要什么。

我應(yīng)該告訴你，你的租金是每周160美元。

在你搬進來之前，你得付給我320美元作為押金。

押金是一種保險，以防你弄壞了什么東西。

我不介意，你需要每月給我付現(xiàn)金或支票。

你不需要支付煤氣費、電費或水費，但你需要支付電話費中的一部分。

大多數(shù)家庭都是通過榮譽制度這樣做的，但你得拭目以待。

莎拉：嗯。

琳達：你還有什么問題要問我嗎？

莎拉：你什么時候知道我能去哪里？

琳達：我現(xiàn)在就去做，所以明天來看我，到時候我會有消息告訴你的。

莎拉：非常感謝。

明天見-午飯后對我更好。

莎拉：好的，到時候見。

再見

五、Accommodation Request Form聽力答案解析

Question 1 1.5 years.錄音內(nèi)容中提到How long have you been in Australia？—A year in Adlaide and six months in Sydney.本題略有難度，錄音中并沒有給出直接答案，因為兩地分別為Australia的兩個城市，所以答案應(yīng)為兩個地方的年數(shù)相加。

Question 2 Forest/Forrest.錄音接著提到What’s your address at your aunt’s house？這表明第2題答案即將出現(xiàn)。其后報出地址Flat one，five three nine Forest Road，Canterbury，故答案為Forest Road?？忌枳⒁獾氖荈orest的尾音“t”屬于清輔音，在發(fā)音過程中有吞音現(xiàn)象。

Question 3 Academic.考生首先聽到What are you studying now？接著聽到I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English.注意“General English”為過去所學(xué)的一個學(xué)科，所以為干擾項，根據(jù)“答案偏后”這一規(guī)律也可以判斷答案是Academic。

Question 4 Thursday.錄音中提到My cousin arrives on Friday morning，so I’d better be out on Thursday.故正確答案為Thursday。

Question 5 B.錄音中Sara反復(fù)提到Can I share a room with someone else?I’ve been alone in my room at my aunt’s and I’ve always shared with my sister and I like that.通過“share with someone else”和“share with my sister”的重復(fù)提及可知答案是B。

Question 6 B.錄音中Sara提到Do you have any women living alone，retired women？隨后Lynda回答Yes，I have quite a few whose children have grown up and lefthome.故可知答案是B。

Question 7 A.隨后錄音提到Most of them live in flats，but that’s not a problem for you，is it?Sara回答Not at all.I’m used to that.My aunt lives in a flat too，remember.I’m notused to a big house with a garden，swimming pool，pets and all that。故可知答案是A。

Question 8 deposit.考生注意題目中的字?jǐn)?shù)要求“NO MORE THAN ONE WORD”。錄音提到Y(jié)ou’ll have to pay me three hundred and twenty dollars as a deposit before you move in。由此可知答案是deposit。

Question 9 monthly.當(dāng)錄音中提到Y(jié)ou’ll need to pay monthly to me，by cash or cheque，I don’t mind時，可知道答案是monthly。

Question 10 telephone/phone.當(dāng)錄音中提到Y(jié)ou don’t need to pay for gas，electricity or water，but you will need to pay your proportion of the phone bill時，可知答案是phone。
