譯文:
W:你好,凱文!
M:你好,勞拉。好久不見!最近都在忙什么?
W:沒忙什么,我向你保證,你呢?
M:跟你一樣,但是我還真的有個重大消息。
W:快告訴我吧。我受不了這懸念!
M:不會的,真的。過去這幾周你都在做什么呢?上次我見到你時,你正在找新工作。
W:喔,也不完全是那樣。我當時在考慮換工作。幸運的是,他們給我提供了一個會計部門的新職位。
M:在大的商業(yè)界里邁進啦!
W:我不想夸大,但我確實很開心。很久以來我就期盼能升職。所以當它最終到來時,我覺得很寬慰。事實上,這也是為什么當時我在找工作的原因。如果他們不認可我所做的努力,我就不打算繼續(xù)在那工作了。
M:是的,有時你已經(jīng)做到最好了,可看起來其他人好像不知道你的存在。我希望你的工資也會好些。
W:我獲得了公道的加薪。好了,關于我已經(jīng)說得夠多了。我迫切想聽聽你的消息!
M:我要結婚了。
W:真的嗎?你說過你永遠不會結婚的!
M:此一時彼一時。你得見見安德莉亞。她太棒了!
W:對于我這真是新聞。我甚至不知道你在約會。
M:我們確實沒有。我倆剛交往兩周!
W:交往兩周你們就要結婚了?!
M:我知道。我就是情不自禁。我知道她就是我要找的那個人!
W:好吧,祝賀你!太好了!
M:謝謝,我很高興你能這么想。
解析:
23.C事實細節(jié)題。首回合對話出題。男士說The last time I saw you,you were looking for a new job.女士回答說Well,that's not exactly true.I was thinking about changing jobs.由此得知,男士上次見到女士時,女士正在考慮換個工作,答案為C。
24.A事實細節(jié)題。因果關系定位。女士提到I had been hoping to get a promotion for a while.So when it finally came through,I was relieved.由此可知因為女士很久前就盼望能夠升職,因此愿望實現(xiàn)后她很寬慰。薪水方面,女士提到“I got a reasonable raise.”可知女士獲得了加薪。所以答案為A,答案是對原文的同義替換。
25.B推斷歸納題。男士說 I'm getting married.女士接著說No!You said you'd never get married.女士答語中的“No!”體現(xiàn)了女士的驚訝,緊接著她說明了原因:即男士說過永遠不會結婚,現(xiàn)在男士卻要結婚了而且還是閃婚,由此可知女士驚訝于男士出人意料地改變了對婚姻的看法,答案為B。
