托福听力真题材料_托福听力真题材料文本

　　我今天是来揭秘的。相信大家一定做过TPO37Lecture 4 cat domestication猫的驯化这篇讲座，最后一个重听题，那是难得一匹。题目是这样的：

　　6.What can be inferred about the professor when she says this:

　　A. She wants the students to tell her which aspects of the theory are not clear.

　　B. She wants to know whether anyone has already heard the theory.

　　C. She expects that the students will agree with her that the theory seems reasonable.

　　D. She is critical of researchers who have oversimplified a complex question.

　　原文是这样的：Well, for years, researchers have pondered this question of cat domestication, and the best I can do here is just a theory? But tell me it doesn't make sense!

　　要是你去翻译原文，那就不是重听题了，重听题考的就是言外之意。这个题目亮点是“ but, but, but"真的太重要了。but代表说话人后面内容的转折，那根本不需要去看but后面的内容，应该是看前面的这句话：Well, for years, researchers have pondered this question of cat domestication, and the best I can do here is just a theory? 教授的意思是，我在这里说的仅仅是一个理论。理论这个东西一般都是不太可信的，猜测，假说一类的意思。后面立即出现一个but,就代表说“虽然是一个理论，但是多少有点道理” 没有想到吧！所以选C合情合理。

　　但是又有人问，那but tell me it doesn't make sense!这句话怎么翻译呢？同学们可以去听听原文，教授带有一丝丝语气，这里翻译过来是“但是，你说说看，难到一点道理都没有吗？”

　　好了，大家要是还有什么题目很难理解的，可以私信我哦！
