英語四級(jí)聽力：弦外之音—“言外之意”題型

這類題型難度較高，對(duì)話中的回答人并不從正面回答問題，似乎答非所問。這就需要我們運(yùn)用解題的邏輯思維與推理過程，也就是通常所說的“順藤摸瓜”方法來答題。此類題型中，一些句子的真實(shí)含義不是直截了當(dāng)?shù)財(cái)[在我們面前，而是我們根據(jù)對(duì)話中揭示的內(nèi)容去尋找與其相關(guān)的其他事物以及它們之間的聯(lián)系?？煞譃閮深悾宏愂龌卮鹦秃鸵蓡柣卮鹦?。

1)陳述回答型

例：M: I need to find a dentist; you said you know Dr. Smith well, do you recommend her?

W: Well, I had to see her a few times, but what impressed me most was the magazines in her waiting room.

Q: What does the woman imply?

A) Dr. Smith’s waiting room isn’t tidy.

B) Dr. Smith enjoys reading magazines.

C) Dr. Smith has left a good impression on her.

D) Dr. Smith may not be a good choice.

言外之意：女的絲毫不提史密斯的醫(yī)術(shù)如何，只說了一些無關(guān)緊 要的瑣事，無非是暗示她的醫(yī)術(shù)很爛，故不愿意向男的推薦。

2)疑問回答型

請(qǐng)掌握以下幾種表達(dá)建議和表示反對(duì)的語句

表示建議：Why not...?

Why don’t you...?

Wouldn’t...?How about...?

表示反對(duì)：

Should...he/she/we/they...be doing...?

表示責(zé)怪的意思：Shouldn’t...?

例：W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.

M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.

Q: What does the man imply?

A) The Edwards are quite well-off.

B) The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.

C) It’ll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.

D) It’s too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.

言外之意：用問句這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)表示說話人的反對(duì)情緒。
