新标准大学英语视听说听力及翻译 Listening in 1 Passage one

Interviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things have had a major influence on you?

Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types of people there with weird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I see the world. I’m much more tolerant now… It made me a more rounded person.

Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?

Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about this…

Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?

Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…just the generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lot

around Asia and you know, I found that in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos, people share whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me a less selfish person.

Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?

Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really…

Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?

Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was voted off by the audience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on the show and seeing how the other contestants behaved made me realize how selfish and spiteful some people can be just to get what they want. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. If you pretend to be someone different people will eventually see through the lies.

Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?

Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of… Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life? Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d just arrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to help-you couldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors. It was an incredibly difficult time but you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amount of genuine human kindness.

Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…

采访者 你能不能告诉我…你认为在你渐渐成熟的过程中产生了怎样的变化呢？什么事情对你产生了主要的影响？ 发言人1 嗯，让我想想… 我认为上大学对我的生活产生了重大的影响。大学生活让我的思想更加开明。我在那遇到了太多不同类型的人，他们有着奇特而又令人称赞的想法。这让

我改变了我看世界的方式。我现在宽容多了… 上大学让我成为了一个更加全面的人。

采访者 太棒了…那有没有一些特殊的人在你的性格塑造上产生主要影响呢？

受访者1 我觉得这个人应该是我的祖父。我和他非常亲近，是他教会了我要坚持自己的信仰。他总是这么和我说…

采访者 那什么人或事对你的生活产生了重要的影响呢？

受访者2 我认为在我的空档年旅行让我逐渐成长，让我同时看见了世界的美丽和…单单是普通人的慷慨。我去亚洲游玩了很多地方，你知道的，我发现在一些最贫困的国家，像柬埔寨和老挝，人们会分享他们所拥有的一切，无论多少。因此他们拥有对生活最真的快乐。这很可能让我成为一个不那么自私的人。

采访者：很有趣。所以你建议年轻人在大学前的那一年里去发现自己和整个世界么？

受访者2:：当然了，它能够给你一个机会去了解你生活环境之外的世界，而且我觉得它很……

采访者：你介意告诉我，在你的生活中，什么事情对你的人格的形成起了最重要的影响么？

受访者3：恩，几年前，我参加一个电视真人秀的时候，年轻人都住在同一个房子里。每一个星期，都会有人根据观众的投票而离开。我坚持到了最后三名！我想通过参加这次活
