精益求精,说在前面:
自本庄主就任斑竹,前来咨询求学的络绎不绝,尤其是在京的,交流起来更加便捷。无以为报,吐血献出雅思高手修炼绝顶心法秘笈,即‘六心归一法’,今大白于天下,平生夙愿。不求最新,但求最精!!!并将陆续推出‘乾坤大挪移’雅思系列讲座,仍以抛砖引玉为目的,为雅思DIY一族添砖加瓦!欢迎诸位前辈指点不足;转贴者,请注明出处,尊重版权。
此法并非在下独创,乃集历代高手前辈之精华而成,属于上乘心法,看似抽象,其实奥妙无穷,心心紧扣,层层递进,互为因果,相辅相成。若依法修炼,必然收益终身,何止语言技能突飞猛进?西游记中,行者凭借其中三心,练就七十二般本事,出神入化,八戒只因领悟不到,偷工减料,只得三十六拙计,漏洞百出,乃后人前车之宝鉴是也。
第一层:‘信心’,至关重要,一旦信念坚定,可明确目的和方向,于是自然产生No.2;
第二层:‘决心’,非到破釜沉舟之境界不可,方能产生No.3;
第三层:‘恒心’,若练到几十日如一日,不知不觉间步入No.4;
第四层:‘虚心’,唯有虚怀若谷,才能与时俱进,百尺竿头,引发出No.5;
第五层:‘耐心’,杜绝急功近利,认真分析短处,必有大成,可修炼No.6;
第六层:‘用心’,做有心人,是历代英语高手的不二法门,心细如丝,必然能捕捉任何瞬间变化,也必然更重视No.1的树立,乃上升至高级信心阶段,即信手拈来,类似上乘武学‘拈花指’,内力雄厚,以柔克刚,可四两拨千斤,轻松涉猎任何高深英语内容;
言归正传,模考点评:
(一)英译中
解释:虽然雅思题型没有此项,但是该类训练可考出中文功底,因为学外语不可能完全脱离母语,必然要借助之方可凑奇效,否则乃邯郸学步也。原文取自雅思考官著书标题,海外版。
The 5 Secret Keys to IELTS Success: 雅思成功5大秘钥
1. Time Is Your Greatest Enemy 时间是你最大的敌人
2. Guessing is Not Guesswork 猜测非指臆测
3. Practice Smarter, Not Harder 更需巧练,而非苦练
4. Prepare, Don't Procrastinate 积极准备,不可因循守旧
5. Test Yourself 自测
(二)阅读
注:此篇取自剑桥G类真题,看似简单,其语言用法极为道地,因是说明文,故干练精辟,句子结构严谨,丰富多变,绝无废话,考A的同学岂可小觑?!对于满脑子Chinglish的5分烤鸭而言,自然很难彻底理解其中关键含意及细微变化,尤其是那些复合句、插入语。让偶们首先来个精读,若不精读对不起自己,对不起莘莘学子,错失汲取精华之良机,若能掌握其7至8成精髓,持之以恒,便可望速成,达到口语、写作至少7分的水准,‘一箭多雕’,乃本庄bqiana研究乾坤大挪移之精华所在!(译文均为意译,也只有意译才有意义)
CLASSIC TOURS – COACH BREAK INFORMATION
译文:一流的旅行 - 长途大客游信息
点评:
×Classic在此为‘第一流的’,非‘古典的’
×Coach 类似北美Greyhound 灰狗的长途大客
×Break 在此特指短假
Luggage 行李
We ask you to keep luggage down to one medium-sized suitcase per person, but a small holdall can also be taken on board the coach. 译文:请每人将行李箱控制在中等大小,小件手提箱可提上大客。
点评:
×Ask sb. to do sth. 请某人做某事,这个简单
×Keep sth. down to 控制, 缩减, 保留,这个也容易理解
×On board 到车上或船上, 如on board a ship,这里是on board the coach
×Per person 每个人,而偶们常用 everybody, everyone来表达,不但不够丰富多变,而且不到位,Chinglish无疑
×转折词but的使用,使此句变为复杂,连接词灵活频繁的运用是英语的一大特色,更是高手惯用兵刃之一
×被动语态can be taken的使用,再次突出以物体诸如a small holdall为主语的表达法,乃高手兵刃之二
Seat Allocation 座位安排
Requests for particular seats can be made on most coach breaks when booking, but since allocations are made on a first come first served basis, early booking is advisable. When bookings are made with us you will be offered the best seats that are available on the coach at that time. 译文:预订大客特座的需求可得到大部分满足,但基于先来先到的安排原则,故建议尽早预订。通过我们预订您将获得当时最好的座位。
点评:
×被动语态can be made的使用,突出客户需求requests为主语,而避免反复使用你you为主语(兵刃二);when booking 分词做时间状语,简明扼要,避免使用人称主语,此为兵刃三;but (兵刃一)再现,引出后面的转折含意,即以since引导的原因状语句。
×至此,三件兵刃组合,构成句中句,复杂程度层层递进,逻辑严谨,其实和中文的思维大同小异;
×When booking (兵刃三)再现,紧接you开始的主句,seat后有用that定语从句来修饰。到此,终于得见以人称为主语的句子,但请注意,此句并无任何标点来区分句子成份,以显口气紧凑,也是常见阅读难点,混淆眼目,所以不得不明察。
×Be available 可得到,可获得的。会用吗?available的名词怎样拼写,知道吗?如果不知道的话,证明水平一定不会超过5分。
Travel Documents 旅游文件
When you have paid your deposit we will send to you all the necessary documents and labels, so that you receive them in good time before the coach break departure date. Certain documents, for example air or boat tickets, may have to be retained and your driver or courier will then issue them to you at the relevant point. 译文:当您已付订金,我们将会把所有必要文件和标签寄给你,故您可于大客短假游始发前及时收到。个别文件,诸如机票、船票可能必须保留,由司机或快递员在相关地点颁发给您。
点评:
×When 引导时间状语从句,无标点紧接主句,手法如出一辙,又以so that引出因果句,配合before时间状语从句,可见作者擅长或喜欢写此类句中句
×In good time及时地,而我们只会用 on time 或 in time
×For example 插入举例,乃最佳阐述论证的办法,议论文中常见,乃兵刃四
×May have to 语气不肯定,应留意情态动词,常常是考点
×Retain 保持、保留,而我们会用什么呢?keep?想拿6分以上的注意,不记可惜啊,而且人家用的是被动语态(兵刃二)
×同理,issue和relevant 也是必备单词
×留心then的位置了吗?在will后面,而非句子首位,可见语言的灵活性,根据需要摆放,没有硬性的规定,语法是由人来制定的,不是吗?
Special Diets 特订食谱
If you require a special diet you must inform us at the time of booking with a copy of the diet. This will be notified to the hotel or hotels on your coach break, but on certain coach breaks the hotels used are tourist class and whilst offering value for money within the price range, they may not have the full facilities to cope with special diets. Any extra costs incurred must be paid to the hotel by yourself before departure from the hotel. 译文:若有特需食谱者,必须在预订时附上一份清单。该清单将通知给沿途宾馆,但对于个别大客旅程,其酒店是普通游客级别,并受限于一定的价格范围,故可能缺乏全套设备以迎合特别食谱。凡产生之额外费用,在离开酒店前,均由您自理。
点评:
×Diet原意食物,这里理解为减肥类食谱,如diet coke,注意没有用food来表达,皆因food泛指食物
×At time of doing sth. 相当于when,是另一种表达,也是偶们平素不善使用滴,难怪句型单一,若写作用之,还可多凑些字数
×This will be notified to 首先用代词来表达上述提供食谱之事,高手兵刃四也,代词虽说简单,但是很多人用的不好,加上被动语态(兵刃二)和but转折引导(兵刃一),剑阵一摆,威力顿生
×Used 过去分词做小小定语,修饰the hotels,意思是‘被用做的’,乃兵刃五也!
×Whilst 连接词,即同时,和while一样, 前面的and可以和很多连词并用,意思不变,语气加强了,比如and then,and that,这也是偶们不会用,忽视滴东东
×Offering value for money 现代分词做状语,修饰谁呢?侬猜到了吗?呵呵,自然是hotels了,看明白了吗?有问题可来信找偶哦
×Within 在内部,有范围之意,这个介词也是偶们的弱项之一,只会说in是不够滴
×Incurred 招致、导致,这个分词是做啥用的呢?(兵刃五)这个词很有用,可以代替bring和result,但用法是有区别滴,老外主要用它形容产生各种涉及费用的结果,所以学商科的一定要牢记之!
×Must be paid 情态动词+被动,语气非常肯定,是没有商量余地滴,这也是高手一贯的手法
×Departure from the hotel 换成偶们,八九不离十会说leave the hotel,对不?这就是差距啊,汗ing
Accommodation 膳宿
Many of our coach breaks now include, within the price, accommodation with private facilities, and this will be indicated on the coach break page. Other coach breaks have a limited number of rooms with private facilities which, subject to availability, can be reserved and guaranteed at the time of booking – the supplementary charge shown in the price panel will be added to your account. 译文:在一定价位内,许多大客线路提供包含私人用品的膳宿服务,并注明在说明书中。另有一些提供有限的房间,含私人设备,可根据当时数量提前预订并保证预留,您将会在账单中看到这笔额外费用。
点评:
×Within the price 巧妙自然的提前,放在句中,你会这么用吗?使语气很灵活,突出鲜活
×And this will be indicated 并列+代词+被动,再一次认真体会吧,不赘述了
×A limited number of 数量有限的最佳表达,尤其是limited的位置,别小看哦
×With private facilities 中的with 可理解成‘有’,偶们会用have,不太会用介词,而介词绝对是英语高手专用滴,兵刃六是也!
×Subject to 等于dependent on sth., 即取决于、有待于,其位于which引导的定语从句中,为了突出谓语动词can be reserved, 那么 subject to availability 作为一个形容词组,省略了be动词,插入作为一个条件,活用词组如此,可见一斑
×Availability 前面说过,凡会用者乃6分之主
×Supplementary charge 要会用,不要老说extra fee或money
×Shown不用偶说,侬知道其成份和用法了吧?还不明了?(兵刃五)
×Panel 原意是面板,比如视窗里的控制面板,就是control panel,这里是栏目的意思
×Will be added to 活用被动语态简直就是高手之精神支柱啊!!!偶们也来练习一下吧
ב雅思考试弄得我很被动’,英语怎么说?试一试!把答案写在回复中,偶的参考答案附在阅读题最后面哦
On any coach break there are only a limited number of single rooms. When a single room is available it may be subject to a supplementary charge and this will be shown on the brochure page. 译文:凡大客游线所提供的单人房数目有限。如有空房,可能要额外收费,见导游手册。
点评:
×终于见到了久违的There be 句型,毫无疑问是高手必备兵刃七!
×Be subject to 在此,意思是必须经过,和上面的subject to不同,注意区别
Entertainment 娱乐
Some of our hotels arrange additional entertainment which could include music, dancing, film shows, etc. The nature and frequency of the entertainment presented is at the discretion of the hotel and therefore not guaranteed and could be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers in the hotel. 译文:我们有一些酒店还安排额外的娱乐活动,包括音乐、舞蹈、电影欣赏等。其上演种类及频率由各酒店自行安排,故无法精确保证,若需求不高或人数不足,有可能取消。
点评:
×Which 引导的定语不多说了,一目了然
×Etc. 就是如此等等,会读吗?偶有很多学生就不会
×Nature 和 frequency 二词为主语十分经典,要牢记,nature在此不是自然,而是属性或种类,英语一词多义是偶们学习的最大阻碍,也是英语最迷人的地方,否则偶哪会悟出‘乾坤大挪移’法则?
×Presented 作者反复使用此法,不消多说了,嘻嘻,还没看出道道的,证明你语感不行,平时领悟得太少,学习不够用功哦。别抱怨说偶有天天在读啊,背啊什么的,您缺乏的正是‘用心’二字,即,学习过程中不求甚解!怎么办?又是汗ing
×At the discretion of 会用此词组的,除了高手,还是高手啊!discretion,即判断力,短语意思是根据某人的决定。再问一句,‘高手’英语怎么说泥?high-hand? 非也,Top Player是也
×And therefore,因果关联,承上启下,前面也提到了
×Not guaranteed and could be withdrawn 用法极其精练,和中文语感几乎雷同,所以偶翻译时很顺畅,前者用兵刃五,后者could使出虚拟被动(兵刃二之高级用法)
? If 引导条件让步从句,配合there be句型,就是不用人称做主语!
×A lack of 缺乏之意,你会用吗?
×Demand 和 insufficient 都是经典词汇,必备!再考考你,insufficient的反义词和名词各是什么?如果知道的话,6分有望矣
Questions (Choose the appropriate letters A-D)
开始解题,顺便问你,appropriate 和其副词会用吗?不会吧!这都不放过?!放过了它,考试不会放过偶啊!按照答题节奏,每一道题回答不可超过2分钟。
1. If you want to sit at the front of the coach______________.
A) ask when you get on the coach.
B) arrive early on the departure date.
C) book your seat well in advance.
D) avoid traveling at peak times.
选C,很清晰,考的是第二段,座位安排,问的是如果你想坐前排,就是指Requests for particular seats,而且快速扫描原文后发现booking这个词文中出现2次,预订,只有C有book,,这是最简单的题了,就算是看不懂也能答,白给分啊!汗ing。In advance 知道啥意思?peak time?自己动手查字典吧,该动动手了
2. Your air ticket____________.
A) will be sent to your departure point.
B) must be collected before leaving.
C) will be enclosed with other documents.
D) may be held by your coach driver.
选D,问机票怎样怎样,在第三段旅游文件,coach dirver 是解题关键词,也是送分题,词汇量大的考生根据retain和held这组近义词来判断。Enclose要会用。May 情态词也是帮助判断之一,原文是may have to be,语气都不太肯定。
3. If you need a special diet you should_______________.
A) inform the hotel when you arrive.
B) pay extra with the booking.
C) tell the coach company.
D) book tourist class.
选C,很显然讲食谱滴,考tell和inform的近义关系,文中的us不就是the coach company吗?别忘了是谁编写这个导游手册滴。从这个宾语入手,也根本不会去选A那个陷阱the hotel,于是,xiao(学)一句赵本山‘师傅,拿下!’
4. It may be necessary to pay extra for ______________.
A) a bathroom.
B) boat tickets.
C) additional luggage.
D) entertainment.
选A, 到目前为止,上面三道题基本按照文章标题顺序出,于是推理就到了膳宿部分了。只有A是指住的房间,与之有关。不敢如此大胆猜测?需要线索?room就是你要找的关键词,其他选项里的信息都是迷惑你滴。
5. Entertainment is available ____________.
A) at all hotels.
B) if there is the demand.
C) upon request.
D) for an additional cost.
选B,很多人都栽到这道上面,何解?因为有了if条件句,晕?答案是原句could be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand的正面描述,即如果没有需求,就被取消,那么有了需求,就提供呗!
6. With every booking Classic Tours guarantee you will be able to _______________.
A) request high quality meals.
B) take hand luggage on the coach.
C) use your own personal bathroom.
D) see a film if you want to.
选B,GZ使了心眼,把顺序颠倒了一下,考你第一部分行李,问题中guarantee后面引出宾语从句,省略关系代词that。Hand luggage和small holdall 是近义滴。

(三)写作
Write a brief letter to a friend who is coming to visit you next month.
1. Tell him/her what the weather will be like.
2. Tell him/her what you could do together while you are in Beijing.
3. Tell him/her if they need to bring anything with them. ×书信是G类题,其实很多A类烤鸭写信未必写的好,而书信是最常用的沟通工具。
×首先要仔细审题!有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎?信里要完成3个任务,即告知本地天气,陪同计划和旅游所需物品建议。下面,提笔就来,采用齐头式流行格式
2005-3-16(时间写这里)
Dear Friend:
I am so excited that you are coming to Beijing next month spending Christmas with me. What a wonderful plan! 开门见山,欢迎光临,宾语从句配合分词,现炒现卖,学以致用。
Heavy snow just covered the city these days, cold but dry. Temperature, however, is expected to be restored above zero degree next week. Who knows what is going to happen tomorrow? Unpredictable, thus, make sure you wear something warm enough during your stay, say, ski coat, sweater and boots etc., I suppose. 谈天气的同时,也提出有关建议,把任务1和3组合起来回答,大量使用连接词。
For most of time, I will be your local guide if school is not that busy as you come. Places like the Great Wall,Forbidden City and Summer Palace will definitely not missed, with which I am quite familiar in terms of history and legendary. Without any question, special cuisine is another highlight for tourists, things like Beking Duck and Lamp Hotpot. 枚举旅游胜地和当地饮食,是不二选择,注意专有词汇的拼写,如长城,故宫和颐和园,定冠词the使用一个就可以了。被动语态的采用是必不可少滴!
Please be well-prepared in necessities like medicine, DC or DVC, most importantly, your passport with visa and air tickets. Just kidding :) Well, please do not hesitate to contact me for any needs. Looking forward to your arrival! Best regard to your family! 祈使句配合1到2个例子,简明扼要。别忘了写随时联系,期盼来临和祝福这类套话。
Yours,
Bqiana
