短对话分析-场景制胜

来源：文都四六级命题研究中心 （文都 徐可风）

总体上，本次四级考试的短对话语句并不长，所牵涉到的词汇多属于历年真题中反复考到过的重要场景词，所以总体难度上与往届考试基本持平。一言以蔽之，短对话的制胜之道在于“场景”。尤其是文都课堂上我们反复提到的常考场景。下面举几个这次四级真题的例子。

一、车站场景

11.  W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves? 

M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask? 

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 

点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如bus schedule，ticket window，这些在文都听力课堂上都反复提到。

二、赶车/飞机场景

13.  W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct. 

M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game. 

Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation? 

点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如Airport，take the fastest way并不陌生。

三、就餐场景

14.  W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good. 

M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it. 

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 

点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如seafood，make a recommendation。

四、应聘招聘场景

15. W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most? 

M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant. 

Q: What do we learn about the man? 

点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如position in the company，the position of sales manager，vacant在文都课堂上都提到过。

五、天气场景

18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it? 

M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time. 

Q：What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?

点评：涉及到解题的重点场景词汇，如the weather was cooperative，picnic。

一言以蔽之，对“场景”的掌握程度，决定着短对话的分数。（文都 徐可风）
