英國女王圣誕致辭--哪些雅思詞匯要關(guān)注?

Beam:

大家對這個詞，可能最熟悉的含義就是“光束”，比如“光劍”——beam saber，但同時，它也具有動詞的含義，除了與光線直接相關(guān)的“照耀”(The sun’s rays beamed down.)外，還有“傳送”之意，而且特制電視、廣播的信號的傳送。在女王的演講中“As those historic pictures were beamed back to Earth…”就是它的應用，當我們想在口語中表達與電視節(jié)目的轉(zhuǎn)播相關(guān)，或者是寫作中與現(xiàn)代科技相關(guān)的內(nèi)容時，我們或許就有了新的說法來代替不夠?qū)I(yè)的transmit，比如：As Ronaldo scored, the excitement was beamed back to me in real time. I couldn’t say how grateful I was to modern technology.

Put sth. behind sb.:

從字面上來理解，這一詞組的意思是把…放在X的身后，在實際應用中，根據(jù)語境我們可以用它來表達不計前嫌的意思。比如，讓我們把忘記過去的爭端吧：Let us put the arguments behind us. 既然有冰釋前嫌，那么與之相對的，我們也可以有念念不忘：Although years passed, the grudge still remained. 雖然年深日久，但仇恨不變。

Overnight:

一個很簡單但也很地道、很容易被大家忽視的一個詞，人人心中有、人人口中無。意為“一夜之間”，往往被用來形容時間短暫或事出突然：The tragedy happened overnight. 如果想說“他在病痛中煎熬了一整晚才去醫(yī)院”，那么請不要用這個詞，只是用a whole night就可以了。

Promote peace and unity around the world:

promote也是一個大家都認得卻很少有人會用的單詞，它除了“晉升”和本句中的“促進”之外，還有著“促銷”的含義，比如“蘋果的新一輪促銷活動”，我們可以說：Apple’s new promotion campaign.

Dawn:

本詞作名詞意為“黎明”，作動詞時也有“破曉”之意，比如：The day dawned sunny and warm.并且由這一含義延伸出“讓X認識到…”的含義，只是要注意此時dawn必須與on/upon連用：It dawned upon him that he was cheated.

…it’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.

這句話出現(xiàn)在圣誕文告的結(jié)尾，表達了女王對臣民的告誡和期許，本句使用了強調(diào)句式，it is … that …，要注意it is后面必定是名詞性結(jié)構(gòu)，而that從句一定是以that為主語、具有完整結(jié)構(gòu)的句子，比如：正是你不懈的努力，為你取得了好成績——It is your relentless efforts that bring the good grades.

在最后的年關(guān)歲尾，祝大家：All the best for the just-past Christmas and the upcoming New Year.

2019英國女王圣誕致辭英文全文

“As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we marked the 50th anniversary of the famous Apollo 11 mission.

“As those historic pictures were beamed back to Earth, millions of us sat transfixed to our television screens, as we watched Neil Armstrong taking a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind – and, indeed, for womankind. It’s a reminder for us all that giant leaps often start with small steps.

“This year we marked another important anniversary: D-Day. On 6th June 1944, some 156,000 British, Canadian and American forces landed in northern France. It was the largest ever seabourne invasion and was delayed due to bad weather.

“I well remember the look of concern on my father’s face. He knew the secret D-Day plans but could of course share that burden with no one.

“For the 75th anniversary of that decisive battle, in a true spirit of reconciliation, those who had formally been sworn enemies came together in friendly commemorations either side of the Channel, putting past differences behind them.

“Such reconciliation seldom happens overnight. It takes patience and time to rebuild trust, and progress often comes through small steps.

“Since the end of the Second World War, many charities, groups and organisations have worked to promote peace and unity around the world, bringing together those who have been on opposing sides.

“By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy once won for us at so great a cost.

“The challenges many people face today may be different to those once faced by my generation, but I have been struck by how new generations have brought a similar sense of purpose to issues such as protecting our environment and our climate.

“My family and I are also inspired by the men and women of our emergency services and armed forces; and at Christmas we remember all those on duty at home and abroad, who are helping those in need and keeping us and our families safe and secure.

“Two hundred years on from the birth of my great, great grandmother, Queen Victoria, Prince Philip and I have been delighted to welcome our eighth great grandchild into our family.

“Of course, at the heart of the Christmas story lies the birth of a child: a seemingly small and insignificant step overlooked by many in Bethlehem.

“But in time, through his teaching and by his example, Jesus Christ would show the world how small steps taken in faith and in hope can overcome long-held differences and deep-seated divisions to bring harmony and understanding.

“Many of us already try to follow in his footsteps. The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference.

“As Christmas dawned, church congregations around the world joined in singing It Came Upon The Midnight Clear. Like many timeless carols, it speaks not just of the coming of Jesus Christ into a divided world, many years ago, but also of the relevance, even today, of the angel’s message of peace and goodwill.

“It’s a timely reminder of what positive things can be achieved when people set aside past differences and come together in the spirit of friendship and reconciliation. And, as we all look forward to the start of a new decade, it’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.

“And so, I wish you all a very happy Christmas.”

雅思口語媒體類話題怎么答

Where do you usually watch TV programs/shows? [Why?/Why not?]

既然詢問的是地點，就一定要列舉出location，比如客廳或者睡房，并且還要簡單談一談選擇此地點的原因。

Well basically, I usually watch TV at home because I hardly do that if I do not have a longer period of time than, say like, a few hours and for me, I spend most of my free time at home. I am quite a home person.

What’s your favorite TV programs/show? [Why?]

可以從電視節(jié)目的類型著手，先介紹名字，之后歸類為某類型，談新聞類和娛樂類的兩類節(jié)目。

CCTV’s Daily News is my all-time favorite which I always watch with my parents and even my grandparents sometimes. We Chinese people have been nurtured with a habit of watching the daily news at 19:00 after supper when the whole family spends the coming half an hour getting to know how great the achievement has been made by our motherland and how miserable lives foreigners are having. This is almost a piece of behavior art but certainly in an authoritarian way. Love it.

My favorite TV program is The Roast, which I cannot fully express my passion about it but I sometimes feel like concealing this hobby. This show is basically about a bunch of celebrities separately cursing the victim of the night in succession. The language they use really opens up my vision to the great potential of human language. I have never imagined such malice dwelling in our language. Literally a culture shock.

Are there any programs/shows you don’t like watching? [Why?/Why not?]

Of course. I’ll take the Daily News brought by CCTV as an example. It occupies half an hour of a night, from 19:00 to 19:30, which should have been used for more interesting shows especially when many people have only such a short time for leisure after a day’s work. But still, we Chinese people are haunted by the boasting news about our great motherland. What propaganda.

Sure, The Roast is kind of painful to watch. The dirty talk coming out from celebrities gets dumped on a victim of the night with nobody caring the slightest about how he or she and the more general public feel about it. Just a bunch of lunatics coming together for a modern freak show. Alas.

Do you think you will watch more TV or fewer TV programs/shows in the future? [Why?/Why not?]

回答這道雅思口語題時一定要注意時態(tài)的選擇，一般要使用將來時態(tài)或者可以直接選擇情態(tài)動詞。

肯定的回答：Yes. I think watching TV really broadens my horizon. So many places that I cannot see for myself and stories that I can never hear about are presented in TV programs in a well-designed way. Even better, as a person of few hobbies, I can afford the time to watch TV as much as I like.

否定的回答：No. Since I am a student relentlessly preparing for some serious examinations, I cannot indulge myself in such enjoyment and entertainment. Though it is relaxing to sit in the sofa with nothing in my mind but a pack of fried chips in my hand, I still have a bigger and more rewarding plan for the time.
