STAGES IN DOING A TOURISM CASE STUDY劍橋雅思12聽力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、STAGES IN DOING A TOURISM CASE STUDY聽力原文：

NATALIE:Dave,I'm worried about our case study.

I've done a bit of reading,but I'm not sure what's involved in actually writing a case study—I missed the lecture where Dr Baker talked us through it.

DAVE:OK,well it's quite straightforward.

We've got our focus-that's tourism at the Horton Castle site.

And you said you'd done some reading about it.

NATALIE:Yes,I found some articles and made notes of the main points.

DAVE:Did you remember to keep a record of where you got the information from?

NATALIE:Sure.I know what a pain it is when you forget that.

DAVE:OK.so we can compare what we've read.

Then we have to decide on a particular problem or need at our site.

And then think about who we're going to interview to get more information.

NATALIE:OK.So who'd that be?

The people who work there?

And presumably some of the tourists too?

DAVE:Yes,both those groups.

So we'll have to go to the sites to do that,I suppose.

But we might also do some of our interviewing away from the sites-

we could even contact some people here in the city,like administrators involved in overseeing tourism.

NATALIE:OK.So we'll need to think about our interview questions and fix times and places for the meetings.

It's all going to take a lot of time.

DAVE:Mmm.And if we can,we should ask our interviewees if they can bring along some numerical data that we can add to support our findings.

NATALIE:And photographs?

DAVE:I think we have plenty of those already.

But Dr Baker also said we have to establish with our interviewees whether we can identify them in our case study,or whether they want to be anonymous.

NATALIE:Oh,I wouldn't have thought of that.

OK,once we've got all this information,I suppose we have to analyse it.

DAVE:Yes,put it all together and choose what's relevant to the problem we're focusing on,and analyse that carefully to find out if we can identify any trends or regularities there.

That's the main thing at this stage,rather than concentrating on details or lots of facts.

NATALIE:OK.And then once we've analysed that,what next?

DAVE:Well,then we need to think about what we do with the data we've selected to make it as clear as possible to our readers.

Things like graphs,or tables,or charts...

NATALIE:Right.

DAVE:Then the case study itself is mostly quite standard;we begin by presenting the problem,and giving some background,then go through the main sections,but the thing that surprised me is that in a normal report we'd end with some suggestions to deal with the problem or need we identified.

But in a case study we end up with a question or a series of questions to our readers.

And they decide what ought to be done.

NATALIE:Oh,I hadn't realised that.

NATALIE:So basically,the problem we're addressing in our case study of the Horton Castle site is why so few tourists are visiting it.

And we'll find out more from our interviews,but I did find one report on the internet that suggested that one reason might be because as far as transport goes,access is difficult.

DAVE:I read that too,but that report was actually written ten years ago,when the road there was really bad,but that's been improved now.

And I think there's plenty of fascinating stuff there for a really good day out.

But you'd never realise it from the castle website-maybe that's the problem.

NATALIE:Yes,it's really dry and boring.

DAVE:I read somewhere a suggestion that what the castle needs is a visitor centre.

So we could have a look for some information about that on the internet.

What would we need to know?

NATALIE:Well,who'd use it for a start?

It'd be good to know what categories the visitors fell into too,like school parties or retired people,but I think we'd have to talk to staff to get that information.

DAVE:OK.And as we're thinking of suggesting a visitor centre we'd also have to look at potential problems.

I mean,obviously it wouldn't be cheap to set up.

NATALIE:No,but it could be a really good investment.

And as it's on a historical site it'd need to get special planning permission,I expect.

That might be hard.

DAVE:Right,especially as the only possible place for it would be at the entrance,and that's right in front of the castle.

NATALIE:Mmm.

DAVE:But it could be a good thing for the town of Horton.

At present it's a bit of a ghost town.

Once they've left school and got any skills or qualifications.

The young people all get out as fast as they can to get jobs in the city.

And the only people left are children and those who've retired.

NATALIE:Right.Something else we could investigate would be the potential damage that tourists might cause to the castle site,I mean their environmental impact.

At present the tourists can just wander round wherever they want,but if numbers increase,there might have to be some restrictions,like sticking to marked ways.

And there'd need to be guides and wardens around to make sure these were enforced.

DAVE:Yes,we could look at that too.OK,well...

二、STAGES IN DOING A TOURISM CASE STUDY聽力中文翻譯：

娜塔莉：戴夫，我很擔心我們的案例研究。

我讀了一些書，但我不確定寫案例研究到底涉及到什么——我錯過了貝克博士給我們講的那堂課。

戴夫：好吧，很簡單。

我們的重點是霍頓城堡遺址的旅游業(yè)。

你說你讀了一些關(guān)于它的書。

娜塔莉：是的，我找到了一些文章，并記下了要點。

戴夫：你記得把你從哪里得到的信息記錄下來嗎？

娜塔莉：當然。我知道當你忘記這一點時是多么痛苦。

戴夫：好的。所以我們可以比較一下我們讀到的內(nèi)容。

然后，我們必須在我們的站點上確定特定的問題或需求。

然后想想我們要采訪誰，以獲得更多信息。

娜塔莉：好的。那是誰？

在那里工作的人？

大概還有一些游客？

戴夫：是的，兩組都有。

因此，我想我們必須去這些網(wǎng)站才能做到這一點。

但我們也可以在網(wǎng)站之外進行一些采訪-

我們甚至可以聯(lián)系城市里的一些人，比如負責監(jiān)管旅游業(yè)的行政人員。

娜塔莉：好的。因此，我們需要考慮面試問題，確定會議的時間和地點。

這一切都需要很多時間。

戴夫：嗯。如果可以，我們應(yīng)該詢問受訪者是否可以提供一些數(shù)字數(shù)據(jù)，我們可以添加這些數(shù)據(jù)來支持我們的研究結(jié)果。

娜塔莉：還有照片？

戴夫：我想我們已經(jīng)有很多了。

但貝克博士還表示，我們必須與受訪者一起確定我們是否可以在案例研究中識別他們，或者他們是否愿意匿名。

娜塔莉：哦，我不會想到的。

好的，一旦我們得到了所有這些信息，我想我們必須對其進行分析。

戴夫：是的，把它們放在一起，選擇與我們關(guān)注的問題相關(guān)的內(nèi)容，并仔細分析，以找出我們是否能夠識別出任何趨勢或規(guī)律。

這是現(xiàn)階段的重點，而不是關(guān)注細節(jié)或大量事實。

娜塔莉：好的。一旦我們分析了這個問題，接下來怎么辦？

戴夫：那么，我們需要考慮如何處理我們選擇的數(shù)據(jù)，以便讓讀者盡可能清楚地了解這些數(shù)據(jù)。

像圖形、表格或圖表之類的東西。。。

娜塔莉：對。

戴夫：那么案例研究本身基本上是相當標準的；我們首先介紹問題，并提供一些背景知識，然后瀏覽主要部分，但令我驚訝的是，在一份正常的報告中，我們最后會提出一些建議來解決問題或確定需要解決的問題。

但在案例研究中，我們最終會向讀者提出一個或一系列問題。

他們決定應(yīng)該做什么。

娜塔莉：哦，我沒意識到。

娜塔莉：所以基本上，我們在霍頓城堡遺址的案例研究中所要解決的問題是，為什么游客如此之少。

我們將從采訪中了解更多信息，但我確實在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上找到了一份報告，其中一個原因可能是因為就交通而言，很難訪問。

戴夫：我也讀過，但那份報告實際上是十年前寫的，當時那里的道路非常糟糕，但現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有所改善。

我認為有很多有趣的東西可以讓你度過真正美好的一天。

但你從castle的網(wǎng)站上永遠也不會意識到這一點——也許這就是問題所在。

娜塔莉：是的，那里真的很干燥，很無聊。

戴夫：我在哪里讀到一條建議，城堡需要的是一個游客中心。

所以我們可以在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上查找一些相關(guān)信息。

我們需要知道什么？

娜塔莉：那么，誰會先用它呢？

知道來訪者屬于什么類別也很好，比如學校聚會或退休人員，但我認為我們必須與工作人員交談才能獲得這些信息。

戴夫：好的。當我們考慮建議設(shè)立游客中心時，我們還必須考慮潛在的問題。

我的意思是，很明顯，建立起來并不便宜。

娜塔莉：沒有，但這可能是一項非常好的投資。

由于它位于歷史遺址上，我想它需要獲得特別的規(guī)劃許可。

這可能很難。

戴夫：對，尤其是因為唯一可能的地方是入口，就在城堡前面。

娜塔莉：嗯。

戴夫：但這對霍頓鎮(zhèn)來說可能是件好事。

目前它有點像鬼城。

一旦他們離開學校，獲得任何技能或資格。

年輕人都盡可能快地走出去，在城市里找工作。

剩下的只有孩子和退休人員。

娜塔莉：對。我們還可以調(diào)查游客可能對城堡遺址造成的潛在損害，我指的是他們對環(huán)境的影響。

目前，游客可以在任何他們想去的地方閑逛，但如果人數(shù)增加，可能會有一些限制，比如堅持走有標記的路。

周圍需要有向?qū)Ш凸芾韱T來確保這些措施得到執(zhí)行。

戴夫：是的，我們也可以看看。好吧
