2015年12月大學(xué)英語四級考試真題精解（第二套）

Part I　Writing

【范文評注】

People tend to be good talkers instead of good listeners.They are willing to tell others what they feel or what they want but often have no patience or are reluctant to listen to what others say.That's bad for communication. If one wants to be a good communicator, he has to bear in mind that listening is more important than talking.

It is listening instead of talking that offers us a better chance to understand others. By listening attentively to what others say, we are more likely to know their real thoughts and offer them constructive advice, thus establishing a sound interpersonal relationship with them.But if we only talk about ourselves to others and ignore their feelings, the conversation might be a nightmare for them and we would by no means know what they are thinking about.

To conclude, listening plays a more important role than talking when it comes to effective communication.

【譯文】

人們往往都是健談?wù)撸瑓s不是很好的傾聽者。他們愿意告訴別人自己的感受，或者他們想要什么，但是常常沒有耐心或者不愿意傾聽別人的訴說。這樣不利于交流。一個(gè)人如果想成為好的溝通者，他必須牢記傾聽比訴說更重要。

是傾聽而不是訴說為我們提供了更好地了解他人的機(jī)會。通過專注地傾聽別人所說的話，我們更加有可能了解他們的真實(shí)想法，為他們提供建設(shè)性的意見，從而與他們建立起良好的人際關(guān)系。但是，如果我們只是向別人談?wù)撽P(guān)于自己的事情，而忽略他們的感受，這種談話對他們來說就可能是一場噩夢，我們絕不會知道他們在想什么。

總之，對于有效的溝通來說，傾聽比訴說所起的作用更大。

3.It is listening instead of talking that offers us a better chance to understand others.

4.By listening attentively to what others say, we are more likely to know their real thoughts and offer them constructive advice, thus establishing a sound interpersonal relationship with them.
