2015年12月大學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】

人們往往都是健談者，卻不是很好的傾聽者。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想法，為他們提供建設性的意見，從而與他們建立起良好的人際關系。但是，如果我們只是向別人談論關于自己的事情，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。

【句法點評】

1.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.

本句是一個由but連接的并列句，在第一個分句中，what they feel和what they want是動詞tell的賓語，在第二個分句中，what others say是listen to 的賓語。

2.If one wants to be a good communicator, he has to bear in mind that listening is more important than talking.

本句是一個復合句，含有一個if引導的條件狀語從句和一個that引導的賓語從句。

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

本句是一個強調句，強調的是主語listening instead of talking。去掉it is和that之后，句子結構仍然完整。

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.

本句的主干是we are more likely to know their real thoughts and offer them constructive advice, 而句首by引出的介詞短語作整個句子的方式狀語，其中含有一個賓語從句what others say作listening to的賓語，thus establishing…是現在分詞短語作結果狀語。

5.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.

本句是一個復合句，含有一個if引導的條件狀語從句和一個what引導的賓語從句。
