【连载】雅思听说结合第八篇来啦,今天的第二篇哦,雅思听力和口语,每天来一篇,与学为贵一起攻克雅思难题,这就赶紧看过来吧~


1.Let me see, I think that’s about 150 miles southwest of here. In fact,it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it’ll take you at least – say, three to four hours by road.


首先:to be exact,准确来讲。to be + v.原形很多时候都等于v-ing,这个表达很简单,一般用作插入语,很容易掌握,那么我就来补充几个类似的表达:

to be exact=to be precise, to be frank=frankly speaking, to be honest=honestly speaking, to be specific具体来说,等等。


然后:three to four hours by road,大概三到四个小时的车程。这个表达很好啊,适用于口语里面的旅游话题,类似的表达大家可以参考剑4 Test1 Section1的那句:…because we’re able to say that all our visits are less than three hours drive.

以及剑5Test1Section1的那句:It’s two days – that includes four hours’travel time each way from here.



2 ….But it’ll cost~you. cost sb.


会花费某人很多钱。其实说白了就是贵!

你们在口语里说贵的时候,可以说it costs me! 正好今天双11,你们。。。哈哈哈哈哈



3.I think for that kind of distance a cab would be way beyond my budget.


超过某人的预算= I can’t afford,说白了还是嫌贵。比如,我想买个纪梵希钱包,虽然它已经是半价了,但我还是买不起。I really wanna by this Givenchy’s purse, and I know it’s 50% discount now, but it still beyond my budget.



4.Hmmm,to bad, the bus leaves at 3.45, so you would have quite~a wait –more than 4 hours.


Quite a wait, 那叫一个等啊~~~形容等待时间过长。现在让我们来总结一下表示“相当的”这个词的英文都有哪些:quite, pretty, rather, fairly, etc.所以,口语里面这些词儿都可以换起来~~~



5.It’s a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better.

上门服务!

现在外卖不就是上门服务嘛~ Take-away is a kind of door-to-door service.



6. that should give you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage, maybe grab~a coffee? 喝咖啡

grab这个词口语用起来很地道。Grab a bite大口吃~




7.OK. Well, that seems to be everything. Have a good trip and we’ll see you in Toronto next week!

That seems to be everything=that’s all.就完啦~~~~
