四級(jí)聽(tīng)力必備習(xí)語(yǔ) 15

39、paper

(1) 論文。學(xué)期結(jié)束，學(xué)生難免會(huì)要被要求完成幾篇papers。

How much time did you have for writing the paper?　你寫(xiě)論文花了多少時(shí)間?

What’s the teacher’s comment on the student’s paper?老師怎么評(píng)價(jià)這個(gè)學(xué)生的論文?

Are you sure you have corrected all the typing errors in this paper?

你確信論文中所有打印錯(cuò)誤都更改了嗎?

(2) 試卷。期中考試有mid-term paper，期末有term paper。因此，如果提到The paper was not as easy as we hope. 就是考試卷子沒(méi)有想象得那么容易之意了。

(3)書(shū)面。與paper test 書(shū)面考試(筆試)相對(duì)的就是oral test(口試)。固定搭配on paper也即表示“以書(shū)面形式”。

(4) 平裝。a paper back book / paperback edition平裝書(shū)，與hard back book / hard cover精裝書(shū)相對(duì)。聽(tīng)力中會(huì)出現(xiàn)的情形是，在促銷(xiāo)(on sale)期間，平裝書(shū)和精裝書(shū)一樣的價(jià)格，這個(gè)時(shí)候大家當(dāng)然會(huì)更愿意選擇精裝書(shū)了。

Do you have the paperback edition of this dictionary? 　這本字典有平裝版嗎?

(5) 新聞報(bào)紙。來(lái)源于newspaper。在日常用語(yǔ)中，直接用paper指代新聞報(bào)紙。

I’m calling about the three-bedroom house you advertised in yesterday’s paper.

The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six hours a day.

I’d like to place an advertisement for a used car in this Sunday edition of your paper.

(6) 一般的紙張。該詞最基本的意思。

I am looking for quality paper to type my essay.　我在找高質(zhì)量的紙來(lái)打印論文。
