精听建议:
先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍,争取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精听,力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方,再听写。
下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?
(参考文本,欢迎指出错误^^)
Lesson39 Writing the Name Backwards
The other day a man named William Smith went to 1 . He wanted to get a license to drive a car.Behind the desk in the police station sat a police captain. He was not a very polite man.“I would like to get a license to drive a car,” said Mr. Smith 2 .“You have to 3 this card first,” said the police captain. He threw a small white card in Mr. Smith's direction.“Put your name at the top.” “In ink?” asked Mr. Smith very politely.“ 4 , in ink!” said the police captain.“Put your last name first and your first name last.” “How's that?” said Smith. He did not understand the police captain.“Write your name backwards. Your last name first and your first name last. BACKWARDS!” “Backwards?” “ 5 . That's just what I said!”
Slowly, carefully Mr. Smith began to write. It seemed a little strange to him. But the police captain must know what was correct. Mr. Smith wrote his name: HTIMS MAILLIW.

倒着写名字
有一天,警察局来了个叫威廉姆•史密斯的人。他想办一张驾驶汽车的驾驶证。
警察局里办公桌后坐着一位警官。他不是个很客气的人。
“我想办张汽车驾驶证”,史密斯先生低声说。
“首先你必须填好这张卡,”警官说。他朝史密斯先生的方向扔过来一张白色的小卡片。“顶端填写你的姓名。”
“用墨水填?”史密斯先生很礼貌地问。
“当然,用墨水!”警官说,“先写姓,后写名。”
“怎么填?”史密斯说。他不明白负责人的意思。
“从后往前写姓名。姓在前,名在后。倒着写!”
“倒着写?”
“对。我就是这样说的!”
史密斯先生开始慢慢地、仔细地填写。他觉得这有点奇怪。但警官肯定知道怎么填写才是正确的。史密斯先生写下了他的姓名: HTIMS MAILLIW。
