【VOA】与Easy相关的短语

  Now, the VOA Special English program Words and TheirStories.

  (MUSIC)

  Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Some of theseexpressions are easy to understand. The words create a picture in your mind.

  As easy as falling off a log is one such expression. It describes a job that does not take mucheffort.

  If you ever tried to walk on a fallen tree log, you understand what the expression means. It iseasier to fall off the log than to stay on it.

  The expression is often used today. For example, you might hear a student say to her friend thather spelling test was as easy as falling off a log.

  There are several other expressions that mean the same thing. And their meaning is as easy tounderstand as falling off a log. One is, easy as pie. Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet,juicy pie. Unless it is a piece of cake.

  Piece of cake is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do. A friend mighttell you that his new job was a piece of cake.

  Another expression is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

  It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel. But, clearly, fish in a barrelwould be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. In fact, it would be as easy as falling off alog.

  Sometimes, things that come to us easily, also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is anexpression -- easy come, easy go -- that recognizes this. You may win a lot of money in a lottery,then spend it all in a few days. Easy come, easy go.

  When life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on easy street. Everyonewants to live on that imaginary street.

  Another "easy" expression is to go easy on a person. It means to treat a person kindly or gently,especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might urge herhusband to go easy on their son, because the boy did not mean to wreck the car.

  If it is necessary to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an easytouch. An easy touch or a soft touch is someone who is kind and helpful. He would easily agree tolend you the money.

  And one last expression, one that means do not worry or work too hard. Try to keep away fromdifficult situations. Take it easy until we meet again.

     【VOA】与Easy相关的短语的延伸阅读——备考2015年6月英语四级听力三大战略。

  2015年6月英语四级考试即将拉开帷幕,最后阶段掌握听力技巧必不可少。有时听力失分问题却并不出在听力本身,在听力之外也有很多细节会影响听力部分的得分,比如以下三点。

  第一,注意单词的正确拼写。

  改革前的复合式听写题目要求听写的三个句子虽长,但句中会出现很多考生较为熟悉、拼写非常简单的词。而且,即使考生不能将句子中的所有单词拼写正确,阅卷老师也可能会酌情给分。但改革后的单词及短语听写则对单词的正确拼写提出了更高的要求,考生必须将每个单词都拼写正确才能得分。不仅如此,考生还必须用所听到的录音原文中的单词或短语填空,而不可以替换成与之意思相同或相近的单词或短语。所以,改革后的试题要求考生平时更加注意单词和短语的拼写,尤其是一些容易拼写错的单词,如environment、government (两个词中的“n”常被考生遗漏)、embarrass (考生常漏写其中的一个“r”和“s”)等。为了掌握更多的词汇,考生在平时练习时每次做完听力题之后,要好好地阅读录音原文。除了确保所填的单词及短语都拼写正确外,考生还应该看看原文中是否还有自己不会拼写的单词,有的话可以摘抄下来并加以记忆,以防下次考试会考到。

  第二,注重语法知识的积累。

  考生在考试时因心情紧张或耳机接收效果不好等原因,很可能会听不到单词的尾音(如词尾的“-s”“-ed”“-ly”或“-ing”等),结果在填写答案时少写一两个字母。为避免这样的失误,考生在听写结束后一定要将全文通读一遍,根据语法知识判断所填的单词或短语的词性及形式是否正确。如果空格处填入的是名词,考生要判断应填入名词的单数形式还是复数形式;如果空格处可填入形容词和副词,考生要根据语法知识判断最终哪个词性合适;如果填入的是动词,考生要根据时态、语态、人称、数以及前后搭配来确定动词的形式。以样题第32题为例,根据语法知识,考生可以确定此空格处应填入一个副词,用于修饰空格前面的动词use.由此,考生即使没有听清录音中说的是appropriate还是appropriately,也能根据语法知识判断出此处应填入appropriately.又如,样题中的第27、29、33和34题需填入的动词或动词性短语直接出现在介词后,或出现在介词后用“and”连接的两个动名词短语中,此时考生应判断出空格处填入的动词要使用“-ing”形式。短语部分考查动词性短语的概率比较高,因此考生需加强动词短语方面的学习和记忆。

  第三,掌握单词的标准发音。

  考生在平时背单词时一定要注意学习单词的标准发音。有些考生英语基础还算不错,但每次听力部分的得分总是不高,原因就是他们的发音不标准。试想,如果考生的发音不标准,又怎么能听懂听力材料中播放的标准发音呢?所以,要想在听力部分得高分,考生必须要掌握单词的标准发音。考生平时在完成听力练习后,可对照着原文再多听几遍录音并进行跟读。这样不仅可以帮助考生纠正发音,还可以培养考生的语感。

  综上所述,要考好听力,拼写、语法和发音样样都要注意,听力不只是考验你的耳朵,祝大家考试顺利!
