📣 托福聽力滿分必備美式邏輯法 📣
✥ 什麼是美式邏輯法
美國人的考試有很強的思維模式的痕跡,眾所周知,美國人是典型的線性思維,而他們這種思維方式也非常明顯的體現在托福考試中。我們都應該記得,在托福作文中總是有要求說use specific details and examples to support your answer,既然美國人這樣要求你,那麼他勢必也是這麼做的。我們知道,最好的托福作文的模式應該是5段式,也就是
總論點topic
分論1+EG
分論2+EG
分論3+EG
總結段conclusion
那麼美國人既然喜歡這樣的模式,所以他們不管是說話還是寫書,都很喜歡以一種總分,或者是總分總的條理性進行著,對於一般的美國人而言,他們總是遵循著如下思維:
提出問題---------------------------------------總
舉例及類比分析問題--------------------------分
得出解決方案解決問題-----------------------分
下結論------------------------------------------總

商務場合規則和禁忌😃
商務場合規則和禁忌多多,下面就用這五道測試題瞭解一下吧:
🌸1: One of the most ill-mannered things to do at a business meal is _______.
order a lot of food
smoke while the others are eating
set up business papers on the table
use a cell phone
答案:use a cell phone(點過多的菜,或者在飯桌上吸煙都很不禮貌,但還不是最大的禁忌。)
🌸2: You have a meeting with a client but are expecting a call. You should:
make sure your cell phone is charged up and turned on
set your cell phone ring volume to high to ensure you hear any calls
turn your cell phone off
tell your client you are expecting a phone call
答案:turn your cell phone off(和客戶談話的時候不應該把電話鈴聲放到最大。就算你提前告訴了客戶你需要接一個電話,還是顯得很不禮貌。)

🎁 中英文稿:
The Paris Climate Agreement pledges to limit global temperature rise to "well below 2 degrees Celsius." "But really nobody—and certainly not the United States—has laid out the plan to get there." Drew Shindell, a climate scientist at Duke University. "So we wanted to model, what would be the effects of actually putting into place policies that would get us to a level we've pledged to reach?"
巴黎氣候協議承諾限制全球氣溫上升值低於2攝氏度。“但是,所有人,當然不僅僅是美國並沒有制定計劃。”德魯•辛德爾,是杜克大學的氣候科學家。“因此,我們希望製作模型,將這些政策付諸實施之後,會產生什麼樣的影響呢?”‘
Shindell and his colleagues forecast that, to stay within two degrees C, we'd have to electrify nearly every car in the nation. And we'd have to get more than half our power from renewables. And if we do all that? In addition to keeping warming in check, the researchers estimate that we'd avoid nearly 300,000 premature deaths due to air pollution in the U.S., by 2030.
辛德爾和他的同事們預測,為了將溫度變化控制在兩攝氏度,每年我們幾乎為全國每輛汽車通電。並且將有一半的電力來自于可再生資源。如果電力全部來自於可再生資源呢?為了控制氣候變暖,研究人員估計,截止到2030年,由於空氣污染,將會造成近30萬人過早死亡。
And they say the health-related financial benefits of that clean energy conversion—amounting to $250 billion dollars over the next 15 years—would likely outweigh the cost of implementing all that new technology. The analysis appears in the journal Nature Climate Change.
研究人員稱,在未來15年,清潔能源轉換所達到的健康收益將達到2500億美元,這項收益將遠遠超過實施新技術所消耗的成本。該分析結果發表在《自然氣候變化》雜誌上。
Big caveat: a lot of politicians these days don't think on 15-year time scales. They're looking only as far as the next election. "Right, but you start putting in these policies and you know you see the benefits for public health the same year the policies start to go into place. There's no lag time. Air quality is something that, unlike climate, doesn't take decades. Air quality is responding to what came out of a coal plant or a vehicle tailpipe last week, not last year." Meaning cutting carbon pollution might have real impacts on the nation's health and wealth almost immediately for us…and not just for our children's children.
鄭重警告:很多政客認為不需要15年的時間。他們只能關注到下一次總統選舉。“但是,當開始實施這些政策之後,第一年你就能看到這些政策對公共健康所帶來的益處。不需要將時間延長。空氣品質,與氣候變化不同,不需要花費數十年的時間。空氣品質反應的是上周煤電廠和汽車尾氣排放狀況,而不是反應去年的狀況。這意味著減少碳污染,會影響國家健康和財富,並且對我們,以及子孫後代產生影響。”
