There was a time when photos were only taken by regular point-and-shoot-cameras, but now everything has changed. With the help of mobile phones and computers, people are taking billions of photos everyday from all parts of the world. I, myself, take so many pictures that I sometimes forget which photograph I took and when I took it. There is this one photograph I like the most. It’s just beautiful…
In this photograph I am carrying my niece and she is smiling up at me. I first saw the photograph about a week ago. I didn't even know the photograph existed until my sister showed it to me. I liked it so much that I made it the wallpaper background of my computer. Now, whenever I open the lip of my laptop, the first thing I see is that picture.
The photo shows happiness. I think it was taken four years ago, and shows how time has passed, how the world changes. After looking at the photograph, I remembered that my niece was crying a lot and my sister was about to give her to the nanny. At that moment I decided to step-in and hold her. Once I had her in my arms she got happy and smiled. At that perfect moment the photograph was taken. The picture shows a time when I was happy. It also shows at time when we all used to have an optimistic outlook of the world but now all optimism and love has just vanished from my life.
The photograph was taken when I was only 4 years old. I was with my parents and grandparents & it’s one of my very favorite pictures ever. I do not have clear memory regarding the event when the photograph was taken but I have seen it a thousand times. To this day I still I look at it with delight and sadness. I had it enlarged and framed; it hangs in the living room where everyone can see the black and white. The small kid (me), the grandparents and young parents make the picture a really significant one to me. I look with amazement at the picture and sometimes I can't believe I was so small and different looking at that time. The picture gives me a sense of melancholy since my grandfather & grandmother are no longer with us. In the picture they seem so lively but I can't be with them anymore!
I was wearing a long sleeve shirt, pants and a pair of red shoes. In the picture I was in the middle, sitting on a chair. Others were standing around me; my parents are on the right and my grandparents are on the left. My father was very stylish and was dressed fashionably in the picture. My grandfather was wearing spectacles and had his hair back-brushed. My mother and grandmother were both wearing traditional dresses but both looked so fresh and happy in the picture.
This photograph is probably is my most favorite one as it conveys my grandparents' memory and depicts a happy family. Every time I look at this particular picture, I get the feeling of bittersweetness. This is a priceless possession to me and I would like to keep it with me for the rest of my life.

10個地道雅思口語表達分享
1. How many pages did you end up with? 你的(報告)最后有幾頁?
依照大多數(shù)人的習慣, “你的報告最后有幾頁”這句話通常會把它翻譯成, “How many pages did you get finally?”是不是啊?但事實上如果是老美來說這句話, 他們會說的是, “How many pages did you end up with?”也就是說, 當老美提到“最后”這個概念時, 他們通常用的是 end up with 這個片語。所以如果你要說,“看了那么多的房子之后, 我們最后還是買了湖邊的那棟房子”就是,“After seeing so many houses, we ended up with buying the one on the lakeside.”
所以 End up with 也有“最后有什么樣結果”的意思,再舉個六人行 (Friends)里面的例子,有一次 Monica 問 Rachel 和牙醫(yī)師約會的結果怎樣? 她的回答就是,“We ended up having sex on his chair.” (我們結果在他的椅子上發(fā)生關系)Monica 聽了之后差點沒昏倒。 我想大家不難從這幾個例子當中發(fā)現(xiàn),在許多地方用 end up with 會比 finally 來得更為恰當。
2. That project turned out to be a big flop. 那個計劃變成一個大失敗。
講到“變成...”這個動詞,become 會是許多人唯一能想到的英文翻譯。所以這個例句許多人會翻成“That project became a big flop.”對,這樣講完全沒錯,但各位下次不妨可以學老美用 turn out 這個片語來代替 become, 這樣子這個句子就會變成 “That project turned out to be a big flop.” 聽起來有沒有比較順口呢?
另外老師上課時在講到數(shù)學運算時也常說 turn out 例如最常見的,“If you multiply the first equation by 2, the two equations will turn out to be exactly the same.”(如果你把第一個式子乘以 2, 這兩個式子就會完全一樣。)
3. I ate salad, soup, steak and pudding. On top of that, I drank two cups of coffee. 我吃了沙拉,湯,牛排和布丁,除此之外,我還喝了兩杯咖啡。
講到除了什么之外,以前老師教我們的都是 besides, in addition to (包含的除外),不然就是 except(不包含的除外, 詳見注1)所以這個例句一般人的講法會是,“Besides/In addition to salad, soup steak and pudding, I drank two cups of coffee.” 但除了 besides/in addition to 之外,老美也很喜歡用 on top of that 這個片語。而且當他們在講 on top of that 都還會特別強調加強語氣,通常能表現(xiàn)出一種夸大的語氣來吸引聽者的注意。比方說吧,“她的未婚夫不但有五棟房子和二部豪華轎車,銀行里還有十億元的存款” 在這里重點是最后的十億元存款,所以句子這么造,“Her fiancé has five houses and two luxury cars. On top of that, he has 1 billion dollars in the bank.”
4. We’re gonna have two parties back-to-back next weekend. 下周末我們將連續(xù)有兩場派對。
“連續(xù)”這個概念在英文中的說法有很多。最簡單的可以用單一副詞 consecutively,例如例句就可以翻成 “We’re gonna have two parties consecutively next weekend.”當然你也可以用片語 in a row 或是 back-to-back 來替換這個 consecutively。In a row 原意是排成一列,例如 three days in a row 就是三天排成一列,也就連續(xù)三天的意思。而 back-to-back 字面上則是“背貼背”, 當然也有連續(xù)的意思在內。所以比方說期末考到了,哇咧,明天居然連續(xù)考三科。這個用英文說出來就是“We’ll have three tests in a row tomorrow.”或是 “We’ll have three tests back-to-back tomorrow.”
5. I have another class right after this. 我隨后(下一堂)還有課。
我剛來美國時常被諸如,“我隨后(下一堂)還有課”,“下一輛公車隨后就到”這樣的句子困擾。原因是我覺得“隨后”如果翻成 immediately(馬上)似乎不太對,但又想不出什么其它替代方案。后來我才慢慢了解原來“隨后”就是用 right after 或是 right behind。(單指空間上的之后)所以要是上課時坐隔壁的不帥的男生問你,“Have a cup of coffee with me after class?”(下課后一起去喝杯咖啡嗎?) 拒絕他就是, “I’m sorry, but I have another class right after this.” (很抱歉耶, 我下一堂還有課。)或是像有時候公車擠不上去,司機伯伯就會告訴我,“There is another bus right behind this one.”(下一輛公車隨后就到。)
提醒各位,right 在英文中常常有“馬上”的意思,例如,“I will be right back.” 就是我馬上回來的意思。所以如果你去掉 right 單說 “I have another class after this.”當然也可以,但意思會變成,“我之后還有課”(也許是下一堂,下二堂有課不一定),但如果是用 right after this class 則很明確地指出了是“下一堂”。
6. Knock it off. I can’t stand this anymore. 停止吧!我再也不能忍受了。
“停止”這個動作在英文中有許多的表示方式,例如最簡單的 stop 就是一例,但是除了簡單的 stop 之外, 老美也喜歡說,“Knock it off.”或者是 “Cut it out.”例如看到兩個人在打架,你可以趕快說,“Knock it off”或者是 “Cut it out.”來勸他們快點住手。
Knock off 這個片語還有許多其它的用法, 像是臺風把高壓線給吹掉了,在這里你就可以說,“The typhoon knocked the power line off.”或是上數(shù)學課時老師說把 x 給消去,這里的消去也可以用 knock off 喔。造個句子就是,“If you knock off x in this equation, you will end up with the final solution.” (如果你把 x 從這個式子給消去的話, 你就會得到最后的答案。)
7. How can we get through this (situation)? 我們要如何度過這個(難關)呢?
講到度過某個困難的時刻,或許你的直覺反應是要用 pass 或是 overcome。但是另外還有一個你想不太到的說法:get through 或是 pass through。例如有一次我搭一個老美的車因超速被警察攔下來,他就很緊張地說,“How can we get through this?” (結果最后他還是無助地被警察伯伯開了一張罰張。)或是當有人遭逢不幸,我就會安慰人家說,“No matter what’s going to happen, we will get through this hard time together.”(不管再來會發(fā)生什么事, 我們都要一起過度難關。)
注意一下如果是要講的是你已經(jīng)遭遇過的事情,則過去式 got through 和完成式 have been through 同樣好用。 例如期末考好不容易結束了,你可以松口氣說, “I’m so glad I got through finals week.” (我很高興終于考完了。) “I’m so glad I have been through finals week.”(強調“已經(jīng)”考完了。)
8. We have to work this problem out by tomorrow. 我們必須在明天之前解決這個問題。
講到 work out 這個動詞片語,它在英文里的用法可是千變萬化的。首先例如解決問題,老美除了說 solve 之外,也超愛用 work out 的,所以解決一個問題你不但可以說 solve a problem,還可以說 work a problem out。不過有時候還要看看上下文的意思,如果我說, “Let’s work out some plans for the holiday.” 這里的 work out 翻成解決當然不太恰當,所以你可以把它翻成“作出來”。整句的意思就是,“讓我們?yōu)榧倨跀M定一些計劃。
其實 work out 不單單可以代表“解決”(solve)的意思,或是“作出來”的意思。它還可以代表“成功”(succeed)。例如你寫了一個程式,但你不知道能不能成功地執(zhí)行,你就可以說,“I don’t know if this program is gonna work out.” (我不知道這個程式會不會成功。) 或是男女朋友交往,但你覺得你們倆個人不可能有結果,這句話就是,“I don’t feel this relationship is gonna work out.”
當然啦,許多人都知道 work out 還可以代表運動 (exercise)的意思。(通常是指在健身房所作的運動)所以從這里不難看出老美其實很喜歡用一些很簡單的單字,如 work out 就可以用來替換比較難的 solve 或是 succeed。也算是美國口語上的一種趨勢吧!
9. I have to work on your name. 我必須練習(發(fā)出)你的名字。
講到這個趨勢, 那我再考考大家知不知道 practice (練習)這個字可以用什么字來代替?想到了沒?答案是用 work 就可以代替 practice 喔! (通常 work 之后會再加上介系詞 on,成為 work on something)像是有一個老美問我叫什么名字,我告訴他我叫 “Kun-Lin”結果他發(fā)了兩次都發(fā)不對,自己就笑了笑說,“Sorry, I have to work on this one”其實他想說的就是,“Sorry, I have to practice this one.”(很抱歉我必須練習一下。)的意思啦!
跟 work out 一樣,work on 用在不同的地方就有不同的意思。像是你去餐廳服務生要收盤子時就會問,“Are you finished or still working on it?”(你吃完了嗎?還是要繼續(xù)用?)所以在這里 work on 可以當“吃”解釋。但是如果你到醫(yī)院去,聽到有人說,“The doctor is still working on his patient.” (醫(yī)生還在醫(yī)治他的病人)。 Work on 在這里又成了治療 (heal) 的意思。(這個 work on 在這里如果翻成“吃”就太可怕了吧!)但是我想告訴大家,雖然 work out 和 work on 在不同的場合有不同的解釋,但大家不必去死記每一種的解釋,只要看一下上下文,通常他們的意思都很明顯。
10. I really need to kick back during the holiday season. 我假期時真的需要好好放松一下。
最后講到 relax 這個字,relax 在口語中可以代換成 kick back。聽來是不是有點奇怪呢?但這真的是蠻流行的講法。例如我在廣播上常聽到,“Kick off your shoes and kick back for a while.”(脫掉你的鞋子,好好地放松一下自己。)
Kick back 這個片語還有許多其它的意思,但都跟字面上的意思“踢回去”有關。例如報復 (revenge)?!癟he United States decided to kick back after the incident”(事件發(fā)生后,美國決定要報復。)或是像拿回扣也是用 kick back 喔, 例如, “The company had to kick back a lot to the corrupt officer.”(這家公司必須給腐敗的政府官員很大一筆傭金)
分析雅思口語有哪些加分項?
首先,眼神交流。眼睛是心靈的窗戶,我們的窗戶應該大方地向考官敞開,讓他知道當我們喜歡一件東西或一件事情時,是真正的喜歡。
其次,肢體語言的豐富也是可以加分的,因為我們在表達不容易被理解的,或是非常個性化的答案時,我們可以用手勢來表達,比如說一個小男孩的身高,可以用手勢來表示,加上一句“He is about this tall”,這樣就比較清楚了。還有,我們聊到足球、籃球、音樂等等,可以加上自己的肢體語言,表達興奮或與考官共鳴。我的一個學生是傳媒大學播音專業(yè)的學生,他非常喜歡音樂,打扮比較嘻哈,雖然他的口語水平并非很高,但他聊到足球和音樂時,用手勢來表達自己的興奮,得到考官的贊賞,分數(shù)也是增加了約0.5分到1分。可見,肢體語言是很重要的加分項。
與上面提到的眼神與肢體語言一樣,語調、音量也很重要。語調是用來表達自己的情緒的,看過美劇和英劇的同學都知道,西方人在表達自己情緒時,語調與音量的變化比我們東方人更加夸張,聽起來也很有趣。
考生們與考官之間需要互動,當討論到一些問題時,我們應該給予適當?shù)幕臃磻?,比如,點頭示意同意,談到高興時一同微笑或大笑等等,這樣才是正常的交流,不要把考試當成嚴肅地回答問題,很多同學回答完一個問題時有如釋重負的感覺,其實,沒有必要這么緊張,考官僅僅是希望有學生能跟他共鳴,跟他聊天而已。試想一下,如果外國人向我們講中文,我們聽到不夠準確、不夠地道的詞語時,也并沒有別的想法,只是希望與其找到共識,成功溝通而已。
