1.英語中純數(shù)字的表達方法

　　大于100的數(shù)字：

　　101 one hundred (and ) one

　　200 two hundred

　　998 nine hundred ( and ) ninety?eight

　　在英語中上面括弧中的and 一般不能省略;而在美國英語中卻往往省去。請分析下面的對話：

　　A：How many people are killed in the terrorists' attacking at America?

　　B: That's nine hundred and ninety?eight, exactly.

　　A: Woo, you must be joking. How can you get such an accurate number

　　B: Ha, ha... surely I am joking. You silly goose.

　　大于1000的數(shù)字：

　　1001 a/one thousand (and) one

　　2232 two thousand two hundred (and) thirty?two

　　900,732,266,043

　　nine hundred billion seven hundred thirty?two million two hundred sixty?six forty three

　　英語中一千以上數(shù)字的表達方法是以三位數(shù)為單元，從高到低billion，million，thousand 而依次讀出的。因此我們在聽時，可以三位數(shù)三位數(shù)地記錄。試比較下面的對話：

　　A：Can you tell me exactly the numbers of the whole people in our country?

　　B：One billion four hundred thirty?two million two hundred sixty?six forty three.

　　A：Thank you very much.

　　2.英語中時間的表達方法

　　英語中時間的表達方法主要有直接法和借用介詞法等。

　　(1)直接法。

　　上午八點 eight AM (a.m.) [ei?em]

　　下午九點 nine PM (p.m.) [pi??em]

　　六點六分 six six

　　六點三十二 six thirty two

　　八點正 eight o'clock

　　(2)借用介詞法。

　　八點四十五 a quarter to nine

　　七點零五分 five past seven

　　七點五十四 six to eight

　　六點半 half past six

　　(3)表示正點的用法。

　　十一點正 at 11 o'clock sharp

　　at 11 o'clock on the hour

　　at 11 o'clock on the strike

　　正午12點 at noon

　　午夜12點 at midnight

　　時間表示法和時段的簡單運算是聽力考試的熱點，請看下面的對話：

　　W: How long does the class usually last?

　　M: Umm, let me think. It starts from a quarter to nine, and ends at nine thirty.

　　So...?

　　W: That is forty?five minutes. Thank you very much!?

　　Q: When does the class usually start??

　　二、日常用語(Everyday English)?

　　日常問候用語是考生必須熟練運用的知識，這與考生的口語操練有很大關(guān)系。說促進聽，是許多英語學(xué)習(xí)者的心得。而且日常問候要視人而定，如英國人見面談天氣，美國人見面問身體等。下面作詳細介紹：?

　　1.問候類(Greetings) ?

　　英語中的問候用語非常繁多，正式的通常有：?

　　How do you do ?(初次見面通常用語)?

　　How are you?(比較熟悉的人之間用語)?

　　How are you getting along with...?(你近來...可好?)?

　　How are you doing?(您工作還順利吧?)?

　　How is everything?(一切還好吧?)?

　　How is your vacation/holiday(s)/Christmas Day/weekend?(假期怎么樣?)?

　　當(dāng)今美國社會流行口語用語，大致有：?

　　What's up?(近來可忙?)?

　　Hello?Hi??

　　What's going on ?(近來可好?)?

　　How is life??

　　How is it going?anything new??

　　Pleased to meet you again!?

　　對以上問候的對答通常有How do you do! ?

　　Fine!Thank you，and you??

　　Every is fine!?

　　I'm just great!?

　　Very(quite)well，thank you!?

　　Couldn't be better，thank you!?

　　Not bad!?

　　Can't complain! ?

　　Just so?so.?

　　值得一提的是，隨著美語越來越廣泛地滲透，聽力中用美語朗讀且以美國社會為背景的題材的趨勢愈加明顯。考生要注意日常口語對話，及時吸取信息，將對聽力有很大的幫助。請看下面的對話：?

　　A：Good morning, Ms Lucy. This is Betty, can you still remember me??

　　B：Betty? Is it really? Surely I remember you. You are my good friend, and I haven't seenyou for ages, but how are you??

　　A：Fine, I'm just fine, Ms Lucy...

　　2.告別類(Farewell)?

　　有聚總有散。告別情景的設(shè)置往往并非簡單、直接地告別，常伴隨著理由、托辭等。直接的告別話語有：

　　Good bye! (Bye?bye! Bye!)

　　See you (tomorrow)! See you later!?

　　So long! Farewell!

　　委婉的告別辭有：

　　I'd like to say goodbye to everyone. ?

　　I'm afraid I must be going now. ?

　　I'm calling to say goodbye.?

　　其他帶有祝愿以及叮囑等的告別辭有：?

　　I'll look forward to seeing you soon. ?

　　Let's hope we'll meet again. ?

　　Hope to see you again. ?

　　Drop in anytime you like. ?

　　Mind how you go, bye! ?

　　Take care of yourself, and don't forget to keep in touch. ?

　　Do keep in touch!?

　　My regards to your family. ?

　　A pleasant journey to you! ?

　　I'll miss you!?

　　Be Good!

　　這種表達方式與中國人的日常言談頗為相似，所以有時不妨可作大膽推測。?

　　請在下面的對話中對此加以體會：?

　　M: I'm afraid I've got to go now。?

　　W: Can't you stay just another minute??

　　M: Oh, dear, I really have to...?

　　W: Ok, take care of yourself, and I will miss you. Bye! ?

　　M: Bye!...?

　　3. 介紹(Introduction)?

　　在日常生活中我們會經(jīng)常碰到一些朋友小聚會，生日晚會等場面。在這些活動中，總會有一些我們不認識的人，因而互相介紹在這里就顯得非常的重要。在聽力中，人物介紹往往是一句帶過，因此通過這些有限句子弄清人物關(guān)系十分重要。同時要注意語氣的委婉。?

　　英語中介紹性的語句通常有：

　　May I know your name?(請問貴姓?)?

　　It's my pleasure to introduce you to each other.(我非常高興給你們互相介紹) ?

　　May I introduce Mr. Bill to you all?(請允許我給大家介紹以下比爾先生)?

　　Margaret，can you introduce me to her?(瑪格麗特，你能不能把我介紹給她?)?

　　Let me introduce you to others.(讓我給大家介紹一下你吧)?

　　Meet my sister Cathy.(這是我的姐(妹)凱絲)?

　　Bill, this is Tom.?

　　Hi, I'm Susan，this is my calling card.(你好!我是蘇珊，這是我的名片)?

　　下面是對話：

　　A: Mum, this is Peter. I mentioned him to you yesterday. He is my new boyfriend!

　　B: Oh, yeah, I see. Glad to meet you, Peter.?

　　C: Glad to meet you too, Mrs Back. This is my calling card.?

　　B: Oh, the manager of IMC. How come? Mary, you said last night he was only a milkman…?

　　A: Yeah, mum. Peter is a milkman. He is the manager of International Milk Corporation. Yousee, he is the only person in his corporation he founded this morning.?

　　B: My God!?

　　4. 邀請和拜訪(Invitation and dropping in)

　　我們在日常生活中，經(jīng)常會邀請他人或被邀請一起去做一些事，如參加一些朋友的聚會、拜訪長輩或名人。英美人說話很委婉，要注意情態(tài)動詞與固定句型的應(yīng)用。邀請有書面的，也有口頭的。英語中常用的邀請語有

　　Would you like to come over our small party?(你愿意參加我們的小聚會嗎?)?

　　If you ever in Beijing, please do look me up.(如果你來北京，請一定來看我)?

　　Would you like to join us?(喜歡和我們一起嗎?)?

　　Shall we dance?(我們可以跳個舞嗎?)?

　　Shall we go for a walk?(去散步，好嗎?)?

　　What about another coffee? (再來一杯咖啡?)?

　　Shall we go to see a film?(去看電影，好嗎?)?

　　May I have a dance with you?(可以請你跳個舞嗎?)?

　　We'd be very honored if you come to our wedding ceremony.(如果你能參加婚禮，我們將感到非常的榮幸。)

　　Would you honor us with a visit?(可否賞光來我們這兒?)?

　　I'd like to invite you to attend our graduation ceremony.(我希望你能參加我們的畢業(yè)典禮。)?

　　I'm very sorry， but can we make it another time?(很對不起，下次可以嗎?)?

　　Welcome to our city!(歡迎光臨我們的城市!)?

　　Are you free this evening? I want to pay you a visit.(晚上有時間嗎? 我想去看你。)?

　　I really can't thank you enough for the invitation.(得到你的邀請， 我感激涕零。)?

　　It's my great honor to attend this grand graduation ceremony.(能參加這次盛大的畢業(yè)典禮，我感到非常的榮幸。)?

　　對于別人邀請的回答要注意分寸，也要禮貌對待。總之，"客套"是此類對話的本質(zhì)。在聽力題目的情景對話中，邀請的日常用語也經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)。下面是一些模擬聽力對話：?

　　Dialogue 1?

　　M: Will you do me the honor of dancing with me, Mrs. Jones??

　　W: Oh, I'm really sorry. I've done too much of it.?

　　M: Ok, I see... ?

　　Dialogue 2?

　　M: Would you like to see a film with me tonight??

　　W: Oh, it is great.?

　　Dialogue 3?

　　M: How about have a drink in that bar??

　　W: I'm afraid I can't...?

　　5.道歉和應(yīng)答(Apology and response)?

　　在日常交往中，我們總會因為這樣那樣的原因犯一些錯誤，對此，我們就應(yīng)該說一些抱歉的話。西方人非常注重語言上的禮貌，我們?nèi)绻粢猓蜁l(fā)現(xiàn)BBC或者VOA節(jié)目里的主持人經(jīng)常會因語言上的打嗑而說sorry。因為直率，所以道歉要及時說出才能得到諒解，這是西方文化與東方文化的不同之處。英語情景對話中，道歉及應(yīng)答的語句通常有：?

　　I do apologize for the inconvenience I brought to you last night.(對于昨晚帶給你的不便，我感到非常的慚愧。)?

　　I've got to say sorry for what I said rudely just now.(我很抱歉剛才對你說的那些無禮的話。)?

　　I'm awfully sorry about the delay.(對這次耽誤，我感到非常的抱歉。)?

　　It was me to blame.(這是我的錯。)?

　　I do beg your pardon.(求你原諒我。)?

　　I am sorry to bump into you. (對不起，撞著您了。)?

　　I'm afraid I've taken you up too much for your time.(花您那么多時間，實在對不起。)?

　　It was all my fault to have done...(這都是我的錯……)?

　　We really didn't mean that at all.(我們真的沒有那樣的意思。)?

　　Please forgive me for...(請原諒……)?

　　That's all right, don't think any more about it.(沒什么大不了的，別想的太多。)?

　　It's nothing serious. You don't have to upset yourself. (沒有那么嚴重，不必太自責(zé)。)?

　　It's not as bad as that. There is no point to getting upset.(沒那么糟，不要為此而不安。)?

　　That's okay. Don't let it bother you.(沒事，別想的太多了。)?

　　下面是一些關(guān)于道歉的對話，請大家注意英語說話的技巧。?

　　Dialogue 1?

　　A: It's so careless of me to have lost your book...?

　　B: Oh, that's doesn't matter. Because, you know, that's just the one I borrowed from yourfather...?

　　Dialogue 2?

　　A: I'm terribly sorry for breaking into your room, but...?

　　B: Ok, what's your problem? ?

　　A: Someone's chasing me behind, and, and I need your help...?

　　B: Oh,...?

　　6.責(zé)備與抱怨(Blame and complaint)?

　　前面所提到的西方人說話直率在此類對話中更為明顯。對于別人的打擾，自己受到不公平待遇會說出來，而不是不留面子。這里有分寸問題，通過說話人的口氣與語調(diào)可判斷其情緒與態(tài)度。?英語中責(zé)備與抱怨的話通常有：

　　What on earth is the matter here?(到底發(fā)生了什么事?)?

　　I'm afraid I have a complaint to make about the service.(我對你們的服務(wù)有意見。)

　　You ought to be ashamed of what you've done on me.(你應(yīng)為你對我所做的事感到羞愧。)?

　　Why on earth did you say such a silly thing to me?(你對我說這種蠢話究竟是什么意思?)?

　　You've no right to help yourself.(你無權(quán)自己動手!)?

　　I'm not a bit satisfied with such a result.(我對這樣的結(jié)果一點也不滿意!)?

　　You ought to be careful enough next time.(你下次再不能這樣粗心了。)?

　　I got very annoyed about it.(我對此煩透了。)?

　　Can't you be serious for once?(你就不能嚴肅一次?)?

　　Don't interfere in my business, please.(請別干涉我的私事。)?

　　It's no nice of you to behave like that.(你那樣做太不像話。)?

　　一般對責(zé)備與抱怨，人們通常的反應(yīng)是表示抱歉與愿意接受。?

　　請分析下面的對話：?

　　A： You don't have to play the radio so loud, do you??

　　B： Oh，I'm really sorry about it?

　　Q: What happened to the second man??

　　7. 意見與判斷(Views and judges )?

　　在日常生活中，當(dāng)我們和朋友或同事一起做事的時候，通常會詢問一下別人的見解、想法。

　　對別人意見所抱的態(tài)度在聽力中通常會成為出題人設(shè)題的要點。其中，說話人的語氣與音調(diào)

　　是判斷其意見與態(tài)度的落腳點。這里給大家提供一些英

　　語中常用的句子以供大家參考：?

　　Yes, I quite agree with you about that.(對，關(guān)于此問題，我與你意見相同。)?

　　You are quite right here. I have no objection.(這次你非常正確，我沒別的意見。)?

　　I'm with you there. That's a fine idea. (我支持你，這個主意不錯。)?

　　樣。)?

　　I don't quite agree with you. I'm against it. (我不十分同意你的意見，我反對。)?

　　Many people have different ideas. (許多人有不同的想法。)?

　　That's where I disagree with you.(這就是我不同意你的地方。)?

　　My own view exactly.(這正好是我的觀點。)?

　　I don't think it's very practical.(我不認為這很實際。)?

　　請分析下面的對話：?

　　Dialogue 1?

　　W:I weigh 180 pounds now. I need some new clothes.\;

　　M: Maybe you should go on a diet.\;

　　W: readly?...?

　　Dialogue 2?

　　W: I'm here for my 12 o'clock appointment with Prof. Li.\;

　　M: Why don't you have a seat for a moment?\;

　　W: Oh, yes. Thank you.\;

　　8.祝愿與祝福(Wishes and congratulations)?

　　人們在節(jié)日、道別以及朋友、家人外出時，通常會說一些表示祝愿的話。此類場合常有新年祝賀、結(jié)婚生子、喬遷發(fā)財、得獎出國、考試結(jié)束、升學(xué)成功等等。如：?

　　Every success in your study! Here's to a happy marriage.(祝你工作順利，婚姻美滿。)?

　　Wish you success! May you success!(祝你成功!)?

　　B: I was wondering that you would marry Cathie.?

　　三、特定場合(Specific Occasions)?

　　1.學(xué)校(School)?

　　學(xué)校對于我們每一個人來說都不陌生。然而關(guān)于我們學(xué)校生活的一些英語日常用語，許多考生并沒有很好地掌握。此類用語常與考試、戀愛、約會、旅程、打工、娛樂和家庭等相關(guān)。英語聽力中有很大一部分是和校園生活有關(guān)的，下面就給大家提供一些典型的校園日常用語。?

　　I'm a graduate from Peking University of 2002.(我是北京大學(xué)2002屆的畢業(yè)生。)?

　　餐館、商店等場合的對話是考生必須熟悉的內(nèi)容。常為點菜、介紹菜、評價菜、定房和退房等。?

　　A: I hate the talkative people, and I will eat nothing here.?

　　B: I'm really sorry about it, but...?

　　3.銀行(Bank)?

　　銀行用語對一般考生來說，是比較陌生的。因此它在考試中是一個難點。如果對一些常用的銀行用語有所了解，將會在考試中收益匪淺。如開戶、活期/定期儲蓄、利息、銷戶、兌換等。這些用語比較正式，需要熟練掌握，關(guān)鍵詞匯要牢記。下面是一些常用的銀行用語：?

　　4.醫(yī)院(Hospital)?

　　日常生活中，人們感冒、咳嗽、大病小病常有，這是聽力中的常考內(nèi)容。醫(yī)生與病人的對話、病人與家屬朋友的對話等會涉及到開處方、吃藥用藥、診斷、慰問等內(nèi)容，考試也是經(jīng)常涉及。英語中相關(guān)的日常用語主要有

　　D: I'm afraid you have to.?

　　四、各類活動(Activities)?

　　1. 約會(Date)?

　　約會是人們?nèi)粘＝浑H中重要的活動。當(dāng)我們需要和別人一起參加某項活動，或拜訪他人，就應(yīng)當(dāng)征求別人的意見，提前約定：?

　　Would Dr. Norman be able to see me at nine sharp tonight?(今天晚上九點諾曼爾醫(yī)生有時間見我嗎?)

　　在英語中，我們可以經(jīng)常這樣說：?

　　Oh, surely I can, I'd really appreciate it.(哦，當(dāng)然可以，我非常樂意!)?

　　That's settled then.(就這么定了。)?

　　A: I got it. Because it's so near to our home.?

　　3. 商業(yè)往來(Business)?

　　商業(yè)往來是少見的一個特定場合，其詞匯需要牢記，固定搭配如 cut down, go up 要熟

　　悉。同時，商業(yè)往來多是很正式的談判，要注意說話者的語氣，以求更好地應(yīng)付。?

　　Please have a look at these samples!(請看樣品。)?

　　We have the widest selections in the whole city.(我們擁有這整個城市最齊全的貨品.)?
