2018年雅思聽力備考資料整理(3)

　　人山人海：在詩詞用語(poetic expression)里，老外也有使用："a (the) sea offaces"，頗有咱的"人山人海"的味道。

　　例如：Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touchingspeech.(望著一片人山人海的聽眾，A先生發(fā)表一篇?jiǎng)尤说难菡f。)

　　Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving athim.(克林頓總統(tǒng)站在講臺(tái)上看到人山人海的人群揮手向他致意。)

　　可見，說話者通常要在臺(tái)上或高處，才有"人海"的感覺。因此，可以說："I saw a sea of faces from the top of thebuilding. "但在平地的人群中，就不說："I saw the sea of faces."也不說："There is a sea offaces."只說："I saw a large crowd of people."
