2016年6月英語四級聽力技巧之人物關(guān)系題

下面是若干人物關(guān)系經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的語氣用詞：

① 夫妻、戀人常用親昵溫柔的語氣：

dear darling

② 店員與顧客常用的客氣的語氣：

sir madam

Can I…? What would you like to have?

③ 下屬對老板常用恭敬伏貼的語氣：

Mr. Mrs.

Ok Could you please…?

④ 親朋好友常用簡潔隨便的語氣：

Hi! What’s up?

Some water?

⑤ 父母、老師教訓(xùn)子女、學(xué)生常用嚴(yán)厲的語氣：

Don’t you remember…? What are you doing?

⑥ 醫(yī)生詢問病人的語氣：

You need take… What’s the trouble with you?

【例1】 2003.1

W: John. What are you doing on your computer? Don’t you remember your promise?

M: This is not a game. It’s only a crossword puzzle that helps increase my vocabulary.

Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

A) Colleagues B) Husband and wife

C) Employer and employee D) Mother and son

【解析】 播音之前考生需對選項(colleagues、husband and wife、employer and employee、mother and son)提前作好預(yù)測原文內(nèi)容的信息詞匯準(zhǔn)備。這題需掌握對話雙方的特殊身份語言及口氣：原文中“擴(kuò)大我的詞匯量”明顯提示說話者是學(xué)生，根據(jù)女士的話及含有教訓(xùn)的口氣“不記得你作的保證?”可推知其身份為家長，所以兩者的關(guān)系應(yīng)為母子。選擇D。

【例2】 2001.6

W: I heard you got full marks in the maths exam. Congratulations!

M: Thanks! I’m sure you also did a good job.

Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?

A) A math teacher and his colleague B) A teacher and his student

C) A student and his classmate D) A librarian and a student

【解析】 通過選項可以斷定原文內(nèi)容是發(fā)生在學(xué)校里，留意對話雙方的口氣線索尤為重要。女士說她聽說男士在數(shù)學(xué)考試中得了滿分，男士說“you also did a good job.”指的是女士考得也不錯，抓住關(guān)鍵提示詞“also”，便可判斷其關(guān)系是同學(xué)。答案為C。
