雅思口語(yǔ)考試：如何描述一個(gè)人?

斯嘉麗

Scarlett

出處：《飄》(Gone with the Wind)

作者：瑪格麗特·米切爾 (Margaret Mitchell)

Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.

那斯嘉麗·奧哈拉小姐長(zhǎng)得并不美，可是極富于魅力，男人見了她，往往要著迷，就像塔爾頓家那一對(duì)雙胞胎兄弟似的。

But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw.

可是質(zhì)地雖然不調(diào)和，她那一張臉蛋兒卻實(shí)在迷人得很，下巴頦兒尖尖的，牙床骨兒方方的。

Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends.

她的眼珠子是一味的淡綠色，不雜一絲兒的茶褐，周圍豎著一圈兒粗黑的睫毛，眼角微微有點(diǎn)翹。

Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin - that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.

上面斜豎著兩撇墨黑的蛾眉，在她那木蘭花一般白的皮膚上，劃出兩條異常惹眼的斜線。就是她那一身皮膚，也正是南方女人最最喜愛的，誰(shuí)要長(zhǎng)著這樣的皮膚，就要拿帽子、面罩、手套之類當(dāng)心保護(hù)著，舍不得讓佐治亞那大熱的太陽(yáng)曬黑。

達(dá)西

Darcy

出處：《傲慢與偏見》(Pride and Prejudice)

作者：簡(jiǎn)·奧斯汀 (Jane Austen)

His friend Mr Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year.

他的朋友達(dá)西先生立刻引起全場(chǎng)的注意，因?yàn)樗聿目齻ィ记迥啃?，舉止高貴，于是他進(jìn)場(chǎng)不到五分鐘，大家都紛紛傳說他每年有一萬(wàn)磅的收入。

The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr Bingley.

男賓們都稱贊他一表人才，女賓們都說他比彬格萊先生俊美得多。

And he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased.

人們差不多有半個(gè)晚上都帶著愛慕的目光看著他。最后人們才發(fā)現(xiàn)他為人驕傲，看不起人，巴結(jié)不上他，因此對(duì)他起了厭惡的感覺，他那眾望所歸的極盛一時(shí)的場(chǎng)面才黯然失色。

羅切斯特

Rochester

出處：《簡(jiǎn)·愛》(Jane Eyre)

作者：夏洛蒂·勃朗特 (Charlotte Bronte)

His figure was enveloped in a riding cloak, fur collared and steel clasped; its details were not apparent, but I traced the general points of middle height and considerable breadth of chest.

他身上裹著騎手披風(fēng)，戴著皮毛領(lǐng)，系著鋼扣子。他的臉部看不大清楚，但我依稀辨認(rèn)得出，他大體中等身材，胸膛很寬。

He had a dark face, with stern features and a heavy brow; his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted just now; he was past youth, but had not reached middle-age; perhaps he might be thirty-five.

他的臉龐黝黑，面容嚴(yán)厲、眉毛濃密;他的眼睛和緊鎖的雙眉看上去剛才遭到了挫折、并且憤怒過。他青春已逝，但未屆中年，大約三十五歲。

于連

Julien

出處：《紅與黑》(The Red and the Black)

作者：司湯達(dá) (Stendhal)

He was a lad eighteen or nineteen years of age, small in stature, with irregular but delicate features, and of a constitution apparently weakly.

他是個(gè)十八、九歲的瘦小青年，看起來羸弱，面部的輪廓也不大周正，但頗為清秀。

His nose was aquiline; and his large black eyes, which in quiet moments showed thought and vivacity, were ablaze now with the fiercest hatred.

還有一個(gè)鷹勾鼻子。一雙大而黑的眼睛，靜時(shí)顯露出沉思和熱情。此刻卻閃爍著最兇惡的憎恨的表情。

His dark brown hair, growing very low on his forehead, gave him a narrow brow, that in moments of anger looked positively wicked.

深褐色的頭發(fā)長(zhǎng)得很低，蓋住了大半個(gè)額頭，發(fā)怒的時(shí)候兇相畢露。

His face would hardly be remarked among the infinite variety of human countenances by any feature particularly striking.

他的容貌并不出眾，在蕓蕓眾生中并不會(huì)引人注目。

His slight, well-proportioned figure gave evidence more of agility than of strength.

他的身材修長(zhǎng)而勻稱，更多地顯示出敏捷而非力量。

雅思口語(yǔ)真題及回答范文分享

Describe a journey you would like to go on by car, motorbike or bike.

You should say:

where you would like to go;

how you would like to go there;

who you would like to go with;

and explain why you would like to go there by car, motorbike or bike.

解析：

題目要求描述一次你乘坐小汽車、騎摩托車或者騎自行車旅行的經(jīng)歷。要求論述時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和形式等細(xì)節(jié)信息，還需要解釋一下你為什么去那里選擇這種交通工具。

Well, I would like to go Las Vegas. The city is around 125 kilometres away from my town, Bullhead City in Arizona. So if I could go there, I think by car is a second-to-none choice. Las Vega is mostly famous for the colourful nightlife. This is a resort town located in the Mojave Desert in Nevada. The town has some specialties and during the night times, it looks best. The entire city is well decorated and illuminated. The most amazing feature of the city is the musical fountain. It is synchronised with music. Besides, the Strip is also another attractive issue at the town. The replicas like Eiffel Tower; Egyptian Pyramids etc. are also some adorable things here.

I am a student at Everest College and having an undergrad course in economics. I have a group of six members in the college. We love to be together always like having a group study, moving for a theatre, joining at any ceremony and more. Sometimes we make some short trips in some less distant areas. Now we are planning to have a trip in Las Vegas. Though I went there for several times with my dad to meet my uncle who owns a small pub there, I did not have the chance to move on my own. Dad always was with me lest I get into any bar or pub and have a drink. In fact, my parents are conservative in some aspects.

I would like to go there by car because it is a long journey. Las Vegas is around 125 kilometres away from my home. Moving such a distance alone is not preferable for me. Go there with your good friends will be much better. If I become a victim of an accident, there is none to look after me on the highway to Vegas. Even there are some risks to move alone in the city until you are matured enough to protect yourself from any sudden invasion. Considering all the issues, I have decided to make the trip with my friends. Moreover, it would be great fun for us. A wonderful sightseeing journey! All of us have visited the town but we lack the experience to stay at night there. So, I am going there on the car that will be driven by David.

Describe a time you were not allowed to use your mobile phone.

You should say:

when and where it was;

why you were not allowed to use your phone;

what you wanted to use your phone for;

and explain how you felt about not being able to use your phone.

解析：

題目要求描述你不被允許用手機(jī)的時(shí)刻，這種時(shí)刻可以時(shí)某個(gè)重要的場(chǎng)合，比如考試，開會(huì)等等。題目中的問題要素都要一一作答。

Last Monday, I went to visit a famous grand museum that is located in the center of the city. The administrator said that we are not allowed to use our mobile phones and cameras during the visit because taking photographs of exhibitions are not allowed. I obeyed the rules, handed in my mobile phone and other personal stuff and enjoyed the visit. Suddenly, it occurred to me that I didn’t tell my mom that I would be late for home and I took the only keys of my home. She possibly couldn’t get into the rooms if she came home earlier than me. Then I couldn’t focus on my visit. I wanted to use my mobile phone to call her. But the workers in the museum told me that they could only return our mobile phones after the visit is over, otherwise they will shoulder the responsibility of any loss of visitors’ stuff. I was worried and restless all the time during the following visit.

This is the first time that I wanted to use my phone so much. I felt a great sense of unease and danger if I lost the contacts by mobile phones. The most key point is we are in the era of science and technology. Mobile phones have become the most common product that most people have access to. It has become a normal habit that whenever you wanna use it, you can use it. If you can’t, it seems that you’re deprived of some basic need. We often say that we rely too much on our electronic devices, but I have to say they are really helpful in all sorts of emergencies.
