f笔记技巧
w巧用笔记纸
考生会在听录音前拿到一张笔记纸(除去指示语,可以利用的面积只有2/3),考生可以从背面开始作笔记,尽量在背面把笔记做完。
w听义不跟词
很多考生在做笔记一门心思在“听词”“记词”上,时忽略了对内容的理解,没有理解语句的意义,一篇文章笔记下来,抓到了很多只言片语,对文章内容却“不知所云”。这种笔记“含金量”可想而知。
笔记填空的实质要把握原文的“message” 而不是“words”。所以要“听义不跟词”,也就是“得意而忘言”(《庄子·外物》)。
w笔记的原则
把听到的每一句话的要点写在一行,超过千万不要把两句话的意思写在一行否则找笔记的过程会很痛苦。要坚决避免笔记凌乱。
w注意信息词
信息词之后必须做笔记!
顺序词
firstly, secondly,
first of all, then, finally
on one hand ... on the other ...
排比信息前兆词
高级口译每次都对对排比内容进行考查,而且往往排比所在即考点所在。由于排比内容密度大、速度快,考生往往难以把握。即使意识到了是“排比”,也是“为时已晚”。
所以必须对排比信息的“前兆词”高度警惕!
there are many ... but i’ll just talk (focus on, mention) three of them
for example:
for instance:
in the following areas (fields)
... have such characteristics as . .
