雅思聽力對話：聽力材料-睡眠和夢
雅思聽力在考試中占據(jù)著重要的地位，時常用聽力材料來磨耳朵可以不斷鞏固大腦的英語語言能力。以下是雅思聽力材料，您可以結(jié)合MP3和下方的原文及翻譯進(jìn)行聽力學(xué)習(xí)。
聽力原文及翻譯
A: So Luke, for our next psychology assignment,we have to do something on sleep and dreams.
A：盧克，我們下一個心理學(xué)作業(yè)是研究睡眠和夢。
B: Right. I've just read an article suggesting why we tend to forget most of our dreams soon after we wake up. I mean, most of my dreams aren't that interesting anyway, but what it said was that if we remembered everything, we might get mixed up about what actually happened and what we dreamed.So it's a sort of Protection, I haven't heard that idea before, I'd always assumed that it was just that we didn't have room in our memories for all that stuff.
B：對。我剛讀了一篇文章，解釋了為什么我們醒來后很快就忘記了大部分夢。我的意思是，我的大部分夢都不是那么有趣，但它說的是，如果我們記住了所有的事情，我們可能會混淆實際發(fā)生的事情和我們夢到的事情。所以這是一種保護(hù)，我以前沒聽說過這個想法，我一直以為只是我們的記憶里沒有空間容納所有這些東西。
A: Me too! What do you think about the idea that our dreams may predict the future?
A：我也是！你覺得我們的夢可以預(yù)測未來這個觀點(diǎn)怎么樣？
B:It's a belief that you get all over the world.
B：這是全世界都存在的一個信念。
A:Yeah! Lots of people have a story of it happening to them, but the explanation I've read is that for each dream that comes true, we have thousands that don't, but we don't notice those, we don't even remember them, we just remember the ones where something in the real world, like a view or an action happens to trigger a dream memory.
A：是的！很多人都有這樣的經(jīng)歷，但我讀到的解釋是，對于每一個實現(xiàn)的夢想，都有成千上萬個夢想沒有實現(xiàn)，但我們沒有注意到它們，甚至不記得它們，我們只記得那些現(xiàn)實世界中的某些東西，比如一個景色或一個動作，恰好觸發(fā)了夢想記憶。
B: Right, so it's just a coincidence really. Something else I read about is what they call segmented sleeping, that's a theory that hundreds of years ago, people used to get up in the middle of the night, and have a chat or something to eat, then go back to bed. So I tried it myself.
B：對，所以這真的只是巧合。我還讀到過一種叫做分段睡眠的理論，幾百年前，人們習(xí)慣在半夜起床，聊天或吃點(diǎn)東西，然后再回去睡覺。所以我自己也試了一下。
A: Why?
A：為什么？
B: Well, it's meant to make you more creative, I don't know why, but I gave it up after a week, it just didn't fit in with my lifestyle.
B：嗯，這是為了讓你更有創(chuàng)造力，我不知道為什么，但一個星期后我就放棄了，因為它不適合我的生活方式。
A: But most preschool children have a short sleep in the day, don't they? There was an experiment some students did here last term to see at what age kids should stop having naps, but they didn't really find an answer. They spent a lot of time working out the most appropriate methodology, but the results didn't seem to show any obvious patterns.
A：但大多數(shù)學(xué)齡前兒童白天的睡眠時間都很短，不是嗎？上學(xué)期，一些學(xué)生在這里做了一個實驗，想知道孩子應(yīng)該在什么年齡停止午睡，但他們并沒有找到答案。他們花了很多時間研究最合適的方法，但結(jié)果似乎沒有顯示出任何明顯的模式。
B: Right. Anyway, let's think about our assignment. Last time, I had problems with the final stage, where we had to describe and justify how successful we thought we'd been, I struggled a bit with the action plan, too.
B：對。不管怎樣，讓我們想想我們的作業(yè)。上次，我在最后階段遇到了問題，我們必須描述和證明我們認(rèn)為我們有多成功，我在行動計劃方面也遇到了一些困難。
A: I was okay with the planning, but I got marked down for the self assessment as well, and I had big problems with the statistical stuff, that's where I really lost marks!
A：我的計劃還行，但我的自我評估也被扣分了，我在統(tǒng)計方面遇到了很大的問題，這就是我真正丟分的地方！
B: Right.
B：對。
