Two Tourists in Europe劍橋雅思4-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Two Tourists in Europe聽力原文：

SALLY:Oh,PETER,there you are.

You've been ages.What kept you so long?

PETER:I'm sorry I'm so late,SALLY.

Have you been waiting long?

SALLY:Oh,half an hour.

But it doesn't matter.

I've had a coffee and I've been reading this guidebook for tourists.

Sit down.You look very hot and tired.

What would you like to drink?

PETER:I'd love a really chilled mineral water or something.

Will you have another coffee?

SALLY:Yes.I will.The waitress will be back in a moment.

Why were you so late?

Did something happen?

PETER:Yes.You know I went to the bank to cash some travellers cheques?

Well,the exchange rate was looking healthy,but when I went to the teller,they told me the computer system was temporarily down,so they couldn't do any transactions.

They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes,so I waited.

And then I started talking to another guy in the bank,and I forgot the time.

SALLY:Oh,really?

Someone you met in the bank?

Does he work there?

PETER:No,he was a tourist,from New York.

His name's Henry,and he's been here for a week,but he's moving on to Germany tomorrow.

He's an architect,and he's spending four weeks travelling around Europe.

SALLY:Just like us!

PETER:Yeah,just like us.

He told me the names of some places where we should eat.

Great food,and not too expensive,he said.

Oh,and he also gave me this map of the bus system.

He said he didn't need it anymore.

SALLY:That's useful.Pity he's moving on tomorrow.

Ah,here's the waitress.Let's order.

Do you want anything to eat,or shall we just have a drink?

PETER:Well.I'm hungry,and we've got a lot of sightseeing to do,so let's just have a snack and a drink.

SALLY:Sounds good to me.

PETER:Well,let's decide what we'll see today.

I guess the best place to start is the Cathedral,and then the Castle.

What are the opening times for those two?

SALLY:Well,according to this guidebook,the Cathedral is only open from nine-thirty in the morning until midday.

No.hang on.That's the Cathedral Museum.

The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon.

The Castle is just open from one to five,so we can't go there until after lunch.

I really want to spend some time in the Art Gallery,because they've got this wonderful painting by Rembrandt that I've always wanted to see.

PETER:What else should we see?

SALLY:Well,the guidebook says the Botanical Gardens are worth spending some time in,and they're open all day,from eight to six,so we can go there any time.

I'd like to go to the Markets near the river too,but...oh...no,wait,that's only in the mornings,too.

PETER:As well as today and tomorrow,we can see some other places on Monday,you know.

But I don't think the Markets will be open then:they only open on Thursdays,so we've missed them for this week.

Maybe we should go to the Cathedral today because it's Sunday tomorrow,and even though it's open every day it might be more difficult to get in tomorrow because of the church services.

SALLY:That's true,but the Art Gallery isn't open on Sundays at all,so we'll have to go there today.

The Castle's open every day except Mondays,so we're OK there,and the Gardens of course only close at night.

PETER:Are all these places free or do we have to pay to go in?

What does the guidebook say?

SALLY:I think there's a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens.

Oh,and the Markets,of course you don't pay to go in.

PETER:OK,well,it looks like our plan is this:we'll go to see the painting you like first,the Rembrandt,then have lunch and go on to the Castle after that,and then the Cathedral.

SALLY:OK.It says here that the roof of the Cathedral is really beautiful.

PETER:Is that right?

What I really want to do at the Cathedral is climb the tower.

The view is supposed to be spectacular.

SALLY:OK,well,that'll be more than enough for today.

Then,tomorrow,let's go to the Botanical Gardens and have a picnic.

I want to sit by the river and watch the swans.

This city's famous for them.

二、Two Tourists in Europe聽力中文翻譯：

莎莉：哦，彼得，你來了。

你已經(jīng)很久了。什么事讓你這么久？

彼得：對不起，我來晚了，薩利。

你等了很久了嗎？

莎莉：哦，半個小時。

但這并不重要。

我喝了一杯咖啡，正在讀這本旅游指南。

坐下來你看起來很熱很累。

你想喝點什么？

彼得：我想要一杯真正的冰鎮(zhèn)礦泉水或別的什么。

你還要一杯咖啡嗎？

莎莉：是的。我會的。服務(wù)員一會兒就回來。

你為什么這么晚？

發(fā)生什么事了嗎？

彼得：是的。你知道我去銀行兌現(xiàn)一些旅行支票嗎？

嗯，匯率看起來不錯，但當(dāng)我去柜員那里時，他們告訴我計算機系統(tǒng)暫時停機，所以他們無法進行任何交易。

他們說問題會在幾分鐘內(nèi)解決，所以我等待。

然后我開始和銀行里的另一個人聊天，我忘了時間。

莎莉：哦，真的嗎？

你在銀行遇到的人？

他在那里工作嗎？

彼得：不，他是個游客，從紐約來的。

他叫亨利，已經(jīng)在這里呆了一個星期了，但他明天要去德國。

他是一名建筑師，正在歐洲旅行四周。

莎莉：就像我們一樣！

彼得：是的，就像我們一樣。

他告訴我一些我們應(yīng)該吃的地方的名字。

“食物很好，也不太貴，”他說。

哦，他還給了我這張公交系統(tǒng)的地圖。

他說他不再需要它了。

莎莉：那很有用?？上魈炀鸵吡恕?/p>

啊，服務(wù)員來了。我們點菜吧。

你想吃點什么，還是我們喝一杯？

彼得：嗯。我餓了，我們還有很多觀光活動要做，所以我們就吃點點心喝點飲料吧。

莎莉：聽起來不錯。

彼得：好吧，讓我們決定今天要看什么。

我想最好從大教堂開始，然后是城堡。

這兩個的開放時間是幾點？

莎莉：嗯，根據(jù)這本旅游指南，大教堂只從早上九點半開放到中午。

不，等等。那是大教堂博物館。

大教堂本身上午和下午都開放。

城堡從一點到五點才開門，所以我們午飯后才能去。

我真的很想在美術(shù)館呆一段時間，因為他們有一幅倫勃朗的絕妙畫作，這是我一直想看的。

彼得：我們還應(yīng)該看什么？

莎莉：嗯，導(dǎo)游書上說植物園值得花些時間進去，而且它們每天都開放，從八點到六點，所以我們可以隨時去那里。

我也想去河邊的市場，但是。。。哦不，等等，那也只在早上。

彼得：你知道，除了今天和明天，我們星期一還可以去其他地方。

但我認(rèn)為市場屆時不會開放：它們只在周四開放，所以本周我們錯過了它們。

也許我們今天應(yīng)該去大教堂，因為明天是星期天，盡管它每天都開放，但由于教堂的服務(wù)，明天可能更難進去。

莎莉：沒錯，但美術(shù)館星期天根本不開門，所以我們今天必須去那里。

城堡除了周一之外每天都開放，所以我們在那里沒問題，花園當(dāng)然只在晚上關(guān)閉。

彼得：這些地方都是免費的嗎？還是我們必須付錢才能進去？

旅游指南上說了什么？

莎莉：我想除了植物園以外，所有的都要收費。

哦，還有市場，你當(dāng)然不用花錢進去。

彼得：好吧，看來我們的計劃是這樣的：我們先去看你喜歡的畫，倫勃朗，然后吃午飯，然后去城堡，然后去大教堂。

莎莉：好的。這里說大教堂的屋頂真的很漂亮。

彼得：是這樣嗎？

我在大教堂真正想做的就是爬上這座塔。

這景色應(yīng)該很壯觀。

莎莉：好吧，那今天就足夠了。

那么，明天，我們?nèi)ブ参飯@野餐吧。

我想坐在河邊看天鵝。

這座城市以它們而聞名。

五、Two Tourists in Europe聽力答案解析

Question 1 C.題干的問題是Peter想喝什么，因此可以確定答案應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在男生的回答里，所以當(dāng)考生聽到Peter說I'd love a really chilled mineral water or something時，即冰凍礦泉水，因此答案是C。但接下來出現(xiàn)了干擾信息Will you have another coffee？這是彼得在問薩利要不要喝咖啡，故coffee可以排除。

Question 2 C.第一題信息之后，對話中出現(xiàn)了第二題題干中的定位信號詞“bank”，接著Peter解釋了在bank所碰到的問題：they told me the computer system was temporarily down，so they couldn't do any transactions，其中down的意思是“出現(xiàn)故障，不能正常運轉(zhuǎn)”，因此答案選C。

Question 3 B.在讀題時應(yīng)意識到B、C中存在答案的可能性較大，因為兩個選項都涉及國家。原文中Peter提到“and then I started talking to another guy in the bank...he was a tourist，from New York”，因此可以確定答案為B。

Question 4 B.接著Peter提到he also gave me this map of the bus system.He said he didn’t need it any more，map，對應(yīng)題干信息，因此可以確定答案為B，“the bus routes”。

Question 5 A.Peter說I’m hungry，and we’ve got a lot of sightseeing to do，so let’s just have a snack and a drink，即吃的喝的都點一些，故答案為A。

Question 6 Cathedral.第6-8題是搭配題，原文中反復(fù)提及選項中的信息，聽起來有些亂，因此對題目中定位信號詞的準(zhǔn)確把握非常重要。第6題的定位信號詞是open all day，錄音內(nèi)容中提到The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon，這正是答案，其中morning and afternoon重讀，故答案為Cathedral。

Question 7 Markets.第7題的定位信號詞是NOT open on Mondays，錄音內(nèi)容中提到But I don’t think the markets will be open then；they only open on Thursdays，故Markets為答案。

Question 8 Gardens.第8題的定位信號詞是free entry，當(dāng)錄音中提到Are all these places free or do we have to pay to go in？考生應(yīng)意識到答案即將出現(xiàn)。隨后錄音提到I think there’s a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens，除了植物園以外都收費，顯然答案是Gardens。

Question 9 Art Gallery.錄音中提到...it looks like our plan is this：we’ll go to see the painting you like first，當(dāng)聽到題目定位信號詞first時考生應(yīng)意識到他們決定先去看的正是Art Gallery（畫廊）。

Question 10 climb the tower|see the view.Cathedral是本題的定位信號詞，原文中提到What I really want to do at the Cathedral is climb the tower，因此climb the tower是正確答案，此外錄音內(nèi)容中還提到The view is supposed to be spectacular，即景色應(yīng)該很壯觀，所以考生可以根據(jù)理解寫出答案see the view
