雅思考试主要是通过对考生听、说、读、写四个方面英语能力的考核,综合测评考生的英语沟通运用能力,实现“沟通为本”的考试理念。对于雅思考生来说,也有很多考试难点和政策盲区需要帮助解答。今天雅思无忧网小编准备了文章听Tennis Court学雅思口语,希望通过文章来解决雅思考生这方面的疑难问题,敬请关注。

经常听到学生抱怨说雅思口语实在太难学,没兴趣,没动力,更没学习的方法,其实从我个人的英语学习经历来看,从自己的兴趣爱好出发,去了解另一个不同文化和语言的内容,往往会得到较好的学习效果。所以这样说来,其实“听英语歌曲学英语”就是一种非常好的雅思口语学习方式。由于歌词往往追求的是用精简的语言表达丰富的感情,所以从这个角度来说,把英语歌词中的语言用到口语的运用当中是再好不过的了。
其实,英语语言学习并不是一日就能促成功(Rome was not built in a day.),积累和沉淀是非常重要的两个步骤,因此,不妨从一首首你喜欢的英语歌曲开始找到学习雅思的乐趣,让英语学习不再是你的“催眠药”(hypnotic)。
今天给大家分享一首来自新西兰新晋歌手Lorde的歌曲{Tennis Court} 这是一个标准的90后女孩儿,在一次学校的歌唱比赛中被经纪人发现,从此变成了各大音乐排行榜的常客(frequent)。来一起来发现歌词中的英语小秘密吧:
Tennis Court 网球场
Don't you think that it's boring how people talk
Making *art with their words again, well I'm bored
Because I'm doing this
for the thrill of it
, killin' it
Never not chasing a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me(Yeah)
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're *ilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins(
像脉络般的分布
) of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I * with the fun again, when I'm known
And my boys
trip me up
with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne (
王座
)
But I know it's not forever(Yeah)
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're *ilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)
Getting caught soft with the triple is it
I fall apart, with all my heart
And you can watch from your window(yeah)
And you can watch from your window
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're *ilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
……………………………华丽丽的分割线…………………………………
好啦,在华丽丽的音乐和华丽丽的分割线之后,让我们一起来看看有哪些歌词是我们能学以致用到我们的雅思考试中的呢?
for the thrill of it
Trill的意思是激动,兴奋或者颤抖,还记得Michael Jackson的Thriller这首歌吗,其实他指的就是让人颤栗的东西,所以其实当你表达什么东西让你大吃一惊,惊错到的东西的时候不妨试试thriller这个词;而thrill本身出了动词也可以作为名词,表示的也是同样的意思,我们来看看这句话:
例句:
I can still remember the thrill of not knowing what I would get on Christmas morning.(描述某个节日的时候试着用用这句话的形式来表达你的心情吧)
我依然记得在圣诞节早上那种不知会收到什么礼物的激动心情
It is quite a thrill to see a real movie star in the flesh.(描述famous person的时候,可以用到这一句哦)
看见电影明星本人是一件令人十分兴奋的事。
你还在用什么surprise excitement来表示你的激动和兴奋嘛?试试用thrill吧,让兴奋和激动来得更猛烈些吧?O(∩_∩)O
而在这里 for the thrill of sth指的是为了…的*,兴奋,激动(的心情)
We have to prepare for the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.(这句话可以用在表达你对某件事情的感受,尤其是一些人生感悟的时候)
我们必须准备接受成功的喜悦和失败的痛苦。
Television is a taxing career with long and odd hours, but the overnight shifts were worth it for the thrill of a great story.(描述一份重要工作的时候,可以参考一下这个例句)
电视广播业是一份工作繁重的职业,工作时间长而且不定时,但是为了能够写出优美的故事,熬夜工作也是值得的。
好啦,it’s your turn to have a try! 试着在你的口语中用用它们吧?!
getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
pump up的意思由打气的含义引申为我们通常所说的使振奋或高兴起来,其实就类似于cheer up的意思。这句话的意思是从平时的点亮生活的小东西里让自己兴奋高兴起来
其实这句话很适合用在雅思口语描述一个object(物品)的部分,说明这个东西对于你来说有什么意义,或者给你带来什么样的感受的时候,可以试试用一下这句句子,但然我们也能改写一下,一下例句可以给同学们作为参考
I tend to stick on some rock or metal type of music before training to get me really pumped up.(描述一首歌的时候可以借鉴一下)
健身前我会听些摇滚或是金属类型的歌,以让我进入兴奋状态。
When I want to get pumped up I listen to him.(描述到人,尤其是对你有帮助的人的时候,可以用到这句话,别再用listen to his/her advice啦)
需要鼓劲时我就听他。
trip me up
trip * up指的是用脚绊倒某人
而trip up指的是使犯错,使出错,其实也是一个很好的能用在雅思口语中的词组,试着从以下的例句中找找灵感吧:
Even you are tripped up by the life sometimes, you still need to confront it with a big *ile.
即使生活中遇到不顺利,我们依然要微笑着面对。
I have never known him to trip up even in details. (在描述某个人的时候,说到某人谨慎的性格特征时,不妨用到这句话)
即使在琐事上我都不曾看到他犯错.
好啦,我们还是再来听听这首歌吧!记得哦:雅思口语学习是一个快乐学习的过程,英语歌曲就是你语言学习的好伙伴哦,记得常常听听歌,在歌曲中找找英语学习的灵感吧!
