来自多个国家的贸易官员上周在巴西召开会议，讨论如何重新开始国际贸易对话。由于农业谈判的失败，使会议于7月延迟(中断更好)。

这次会议是由发展中国家组织G－20在里约热内卢召开的。来自美国、欧盟和日本的贸易官员参与了此次会议。世贸处长Pascal Lamy也同时出席了会议。

会议由于要求再次举行多哈国际贸易对话而中止（end for）。会后一份声明指出农业问题是多哈发展问题的中心。

这份声明指出"世界上大多数贫民依靠农业为生（live out of）。"但它指出，这些人的生存已受到来自政府支援计划的威胁以及国际农业贸易的市场阻碍。

由于WTO会员无法就津贴和市场重组两个问题达成共识，Lamy先生推迟了多哈会议。

主持人：

来自许多国家的贸易官员上周在巴西碰面讨论重建世贸谈话的办法。农业谈判的失败造成该谈话在七月中断。

以G-20闻名的发展中国家组织在里约热内卢召开会议。来自美国，欧盟，日本的贸易官员和世贸组织总干事帕斯卡。拉米也参加了会议。

会议结束时提倡重启世贸组织多哈回合谈判。会后一份声明表示多哈发展议题的核心是农业问题。

该声明称，“世界上大部分穷人的生活已脱离农业。”但是声明说，他们的生活方式受到政府支持项目的威胁，和国际农业贸易市场的阻碍。

世贸组织成员在两个主要议题，补贴金和市场改革问题上达不到一致后，拉米先生暂停了多哈回合。

强人们就是强啊……上次那个“pretexting call”，现在认为翻译作“假托电话”更合适。比“假冒”电话更为贴切。今天遇到个难题——of when。其实不是特定短语，两者本来是分开引导的句子成分。只是在听句子的时候把它们连在一块儿理解了。 The report says three governments used them as well: Burma, Nepal and Russia. These nations have not signed the nineteen ninety-seven Mine Ban Treaty. The report says three governments use mine as well: Bema, Nepal and Russia. These nations have not signed the 1997 Mine-（去掉）Ban Treaty. Forty countries remain outside the treaty.

More than one hundred fifty governments have joined the Mine Ban Treaty. Twenty-nine still have to finish mine-clearing within the next few years. But the campaign says thirteen might not meet that goal, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Mozambique and Thailand.

But the campaign says 13 might not meet that goal, including ___ and ___, ___, ____(Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Mozambique) and Thailand.

总结

21号的VOA是听写以来最简单的一次。除了国家名和一个生词“antipersonnel”之外没有其他错误。

新词

antipersonnel adj.杀伤(性)的
antipersonnel bombs 杀伤炸弹
Bosnia 巴基斯坦
Herzegovina 黑塞哥维那
Cambodia 柬埔寨
Mozambique 莫桑比克

温故知新

It requires sb to do sth within ten years of when they joined the treaty
Of 的作用是引出后面的后置修饰语，此修饰语可以起限定作用，或者同位语作用。
如a girl of ten 一个10岁的女孩；a coat of many colors; a fool of her husband
然后，when引导的从句起名词性作用，放在of后。
When引导的从句做名词的例子其实很多，如

报道称3个国家依然在使用地雷(+或类似装置)。这三个国家是缅甸、尼泊尔以及俄罗斯。这些国家尚未签署《1997年禁雷条约》。

没有签署条约的还有40个国家。除此之外还有中国、印度、巴基斯坦、印度、巴基斯坦以及美国。

条约禁止使用、生产、交易地雷。同时规定参与国（要求签约国）需在加入条约的十年内清除杀伤性地雷区域。

已有超过150个国家加入了禁雷条约。在今后几年内，仍有29个国家需要完成扫雷工作。但是禁雷运动表示其中13个国家可能无法完成任务。这些国家包括波斯尼亚、黑塞哥维亚、柬埔寨、莫桑比克以及泰国。

总结

20号这天的VOA是听写以来文字最少的一次。但国家单词的拼写依然构成了这次听写的难度。出现的错误主要集中在单复数形式和时态上面。唉，什么时候才能对这些基本的东西形成条件反射呢？

没听出来的词组armed group.没有接触过，故而生疏。把increase听成emprise，这个比较离谱。

总结

今天的听写比昨天慢些。所以听得还算轻松。但是由于mine表示“地雷”的不熟悉（我只记得它是矿-_-），还是错了很多东西。有些听写时没有弄清楚的表达方式在看过原文后依然无法理解（如 ban landmines, de-mining）。除了单词拼写错误和误听（将"because"听成"the calls"真是匪夷所思……），其他错误主要是出在不理解句子含义，只能跟随听到的感觉写下答案（如This is defined as clearing mines and destoring supplies of them。误听成surprise）。

国际禁雷组织表示，去年的禁雷成效与过去相比大有成效。但国际支援的首次减少使该组织担心它的未来。

据该组织称欧洲委员会，美国，和其他八个主要捐款国减少了他们对“扫雷运动”的投资。“扫雷运动”包括清除地雷以及清毁地雷。还包括地雷危险教育以及伤员护理。

上周日内瓦禁雷组织在联合国上公布它的《2006地雷监督报道》一文。文中指出去年清扫了750平方公里，面积大约为纽约市的区域。同时指出这是继1980年现代扫雷运动（反）开始以来区域最大的一次。

主持人：

国际禁雷组织表示，与以往任何时候相比，去年的扫雷成果得到了更多的发展。但是同时也表示，由于国际支持的第一次减少，未来的发展是个值得关心的问题。

该组织称欧委会，美国及其他8位主要的捐赠人减少了他们投入在“地雷行动”上的资金。主要是他们的地雷清除和销毁供给品上。也包括地雷风险教育和生还者援助。

上周日内瓦组织在联合国发布了它的“2006年地雷监测报告”

报告称去年清除了740平方公里，大约纽约城大小的区域的地雷。报告称这是自1980年现代反地雷活动开始以来，一年中清除地雷的土地最多的一次。

总结

今天VOA乍听之下语速比前些日的稍快，第一遍听时只听懂20%的句子。直到一句一句听时才弄懂意思。

今天的错误主要集中在几个连写单词"longtime","within".被我拆开了－ －。主要是因为听写时没有注意句子的成分。

另外“within legal limits”听错。听得时候没有理解意思。

其他错误则错在人名等专有名词。像CNET News， Compaq Computer，平时虽然见过，却不熟，以至于听写时没反映得过来。

从翻译的错误上来看，以后还是全文翻译好了……= =

另外，今天有大大终于把pretext call弄清楚了——假冒电话！这个比以前翻译的“使用托词的电话”更说得通～

总结

今天VOA比前两天的难些。我是听到一半才发现主角是惠普公司（原来惠普公司的全名叫Hewlett-Packard啊！还是中文琅琅上口）。对HP的印象满好的说～但今天VOA披露的却是HP的丑闻。

感觉今天听写材料的难点在于人名地名。以前听力很少出现人的名字，乍听还以为是生词。不过由于人名和地名通常在句子中所占的成分很简单，所以即使写不出来，也知道指的是人。

另外今天的话题是关于商业领域。像"board of directors"， 以前就从没听说，还有后面的一些官员称谓，attorney general of the state， chief executive officer就没听说过（没熟系CEO的全程）。后面那个称谓单词知道还好，前面的“attorney”很生，听得一塌糊涂。

今天的误听有：appointed to replace her(听成replacer), the methods(听成messages) used。这些很简单的问题，说明自己检查时还是不用心呢～

另外拼写错误有：against，没有es。老问题了。

今天的听写材料涉及美国学校的一些情况。像“tow-year associate degree”，还有昨天的“certificate program”都是以前没有听说过的表达。今天听错的东西比较多，主要集中在“These programs can prepare students for skilled jobs. Or, if students want to continue their education, many universities accept this work as the first two years toward a bachelor's degree. ”。skilled job没细想听成skill job；accept没听出来，后面半句虽然明白大意，但单词又有点生，楞是把accept的发音对上号，句子也没有想清楚，towards没听出来。错误的主要原因还是对这一话题的不熟系造成，加上今天心情不好，听写时觉得有错误的地方也没有反复多听。以后还是选择在早上起床后听写好了。

大专或社区学院提供两年课程的肆业证书（这个翻译不够通俗瓦）。这些课程为学生从事技术性工作（skilled 熟练的）提供了准备。如果学生想继续他们的学业，许多大学的硕士学位也采用了这样的课程（accept,承认，而非自己采纳）。

要取得硕士学位，学生一般在头两年要学习一些基础学科，包括历史、文学、数学、自然科学等。在这之后他们才开始上主研究领域的课程。

在研究生学校（研究院）阶段，硕士学位需要3年来完成。博士学位则需要4～6年。但在一些特别专业，如医学专业，学习时间则需要更多。

教育顾问们认为无论你选择怎样的学校，你都应该在去美国开始读书的前两年开始做出计划。

主持人翻译(括号中是我认为可以改进的部分)：

基础或是社区学院提供一种2年的副学位.这种计划能为学生培养工作的技巧.或者,如果学生想继续他们的教育,很多大学承认这个学位作为学士学位的头两年.

要取得学士学位,学生传统来说需要在头两年参加一些普遍性的课程.这范围包括历史,文学,数学和科学.之后,他们会参加本专业领域的课程学习.

在毕业学校（百度上解释是研究院～）的水平,一个硕士学位要用三年时间去完成.一个博士学位需要4-6年时间.但一些如医学类专业,则需要更长的时间学习.

无论你选择什么,教育顾问说,你应该开始计划最少两年在你开始在美国的学习前（这话觉得有点怪……- -bb）.

刚开始我打算通过新概念全面提高听力、口语和应试写作（虽然我暂时没有考试计划），选择听VOA的直接动机完全是老姐的一句话——新概念在美国并不适用。毕竟英式英语和美式英语的表达不完全相同。我不太了解其中具体的差异，但如果想学美式英语，当然得用美国人出的教材。

听VOA是头一回。这三天从慢速VOA开始，语速真……的很四级。第一次听能听懂60%以上（很久没听了……），后面两次能听懂80%。单词上面也没太大问题。一篇文章也最多1、2个新词，而且能根据上下文把生词的意思猜得大不离。

不过没有成就感。一是觉得语速较慢，二是即使很慢正确率也不高。

然则 刚才听了一遍标准VOA…………omg要死了……T__T好快

当下的目标依然是先听完一个月的慢速VOA。
预期效果：彻底一次性听懂慢速版VOA（也就是说里面的长句不会造成困扰）。解决听写中的基础问题（如过去时态、定冠词、单复数形式），以及介词搭配（这个是长期工作）！

就这样～ 努力！！！！

总结

今 天的广播资料很简单，但由于加快了速度，减少了重听次数，没有细细思索，也就多了些错误。不过我想如果要达到和电台播放同步理解的程度，光用逻辑思考想太 多是没用的，还需要多听，形成对英文习惯表达方式的条件反射。今天出现了对过去学过的单词的遗忘症。如advice和advise的区别，“State
Department”听成了“State Apartment（听写时没注意apartment的意思）”，得再好好背背单词了。

新词

（无）

温故知新

advice
- advise 前者为后者的名词形式。

advice n.忠告, 建议, [商]通知

advise vt.劝告, 忠告, 警告, 建议 

administrative adj. 行政的；管理的

administration 　n.管理, 经营, 行政部门 (简写形式为admin）

Series n.连续, 系列, 丛书, 级数

这个单词的写法万年记不住……哭……

这一周的外国学生专栏（还是“系列”好），我们将讨论留学美国的第一步。

首先，访问美国教育咨询（辅导）中心。全球共有400余所这样的办公室（一时半会儿没有想起来：后面这个office是为了不和前面的center重复才用的）。你可以在专门为留学生服务的美国国务院网站上找到它们。我们将在后面提供大家网站地址。或者，你可以到美国大使馆的公共事务所咨询在哪里可以找到最近的咨询中心。

然后，收集各种可供选择的美国高等教育课程资料。

比如，有些学校提供1年的文凭课程。这些课程出现在计算机编程、公共关系以及管理学等专业。

主持人翻译(括号中是我认为可以改进的部分)：

这星期, 在我们的外国学生(留学生)系列中, 我们将讨论留学生要到美国学习的第一步.

第一步（这样，和前面的“第一步”重复了呢^^）是参阅美国教育辅导中心.

在世界各地有超过400家这样的辅导中心. 你可以通过美国国务院网页的国际学生栏目找到这些辅导中心. 我们稍后将提供这些（原文中是that，应该指的是国务院网站吧）地址.

或者你可以咨询美国大使馆的公共事务办公室, 他们会找到并告诉你那一间美国教育辅导中心与你所在地最近.第二步是开始收集有关资料—美国各种不同的高等教育课程选择.

比如,一些学校提供一年证书课程. 这些证书课程有如下学科: 计算机程序设计, 公共关系学和行政管理.

	总结 这次听写的过程是：先听两遍全文，然后再逐句听写，最后再听一遍全文。在誊写时又对不确定的地方重新听了一下。比上次随听随写有条理些了。以后要争取减少重听次数。 遇到的问题仍然有断句。The eye itself is calm by comparison, with light winds and clear skies.这句，听写时没有把句子分开，以为有by comparison with的用法，听了好几遍依然觉得莫名其妙。单词上面，surge是生词，severe昨天听过了，但明显没记住发音，还得重复多听几次才行。此外，听写时容易出现“幻听”，high waves 开始听写时根本没听出后面的“vs”音，以为是high way（但逻辑上还是认为是wave，所以写的仍然是high waves）。分明是ocean，却总觉得后面还发了“l”。不知道是不是美式发音的特点。 新词 surge 从词源上看，有“升起”之意 n.巨涌, 汹涌, 澎湃 [eg.] a surge of joy. 　　　喜从天降 　　　a surge of pity　　 　油然而生的怜悯之心 　　　a surge of smoke　　　浓烟滚滚 　　　A surge of anger rushed over him . 他勃然大怒。 vi.（感情）汹涌, 澎湃（常与up连用）； 振荡, 滑脱, 放松　 　　　When I was left alone, sadness surged up in me. vt.使汹涌奔腾, 急放 eyewall n.[气]眼壁s 旧词重记 continue　　 　v.继续, 连续, 延伸 |- continued　　adj.继续的, 延续的 |- continuing 　adj.继续的，连续的， 持续的 continual 　　　adj.连续的, 频繁的, 持续不断的 continuant　　　adj.连续音的 n.连续音 continuous 　　 adj.连续的, 持续的 continuate　　　adj.持续的, 不间断的 |- continuation n.继续, 延长, 延长物,附加部分, (报刊等的)续刊 |- continuative adj.继续的 n.连续的事物；【语】接续句； 连续体 |- continuator　n.继续者, 继承者 天哪……全是表示“连续”的形容词－ －看看英文解释也许比较好： continued－ continuing to happen for a long time, or happening many times continuous－ continuing to happen or exist without stopping or without any interruptions continual－ continuing for a long time without stopping. continuing－keeping happening,existing, or doing something for a longer period of time without stopping. continuative- Of, relating to, or serving to cause continuation. 继续继续的、与之有关的或有助于造成继续的 continual和countinuous的区别： continual指不停的，连续的，频繁的（中间有间隔，跨较长时间） [eg.]He hates the ~ arguments with his wife. 他讨厌和妻子不断地争吵。 countinuous指时间或空间的不间断的延伸。 [eg.]a ~ expanse of wall without door or window 一面没有门和窗子的墙 centimeter n. 厘米 　millimeter n. 毫米 　decimeter n. 分米 　micron n. 微米 翻译 1.The strongest, fastest winds of a hurricane are found in the eyewall. 飓风最强最快的风在气壁上。 2.These storms also cause high waves and ocean surges. 这些风暴同时能够引起高浪和巨浪 。 3.The water smashes across low coastal areas. 海水冲刷在低海岸地区。

Storms can get stronger and stronger as they move over warm ocean waters. The strongest, fastest winds of a hurricane are found in the eyewall. This is the area that surrounds the center, or eye, of the storm. The eye itself is calm by comparison, with light winds and clear skies. Storms can get stronger and stronger as they move over warm ocean waters. The strongest, fastest winds of a harricane are found in the eye wall(改：eyewall). This is the area that surrounds the center, or eye, of the storm. The eye itself is calm by comparison, with light winds and clear skys(改 skies). Winds in severe ocean storms can reach speeds of more than two hundred fifty kilometers an hour. Up to fifty centimeters of rain can fall. Some storms have produced more than one hundred fifty centimeters of rain. Winds in (?)(改：severe） ocean storms can reach speeds of more than 250 kilometers an hour. Up to 50 centimeters of rain can fall. Some storms have produced more than 150 centimeters of rain. These storms also cause high waves and ocean surges. A surge is a continuous movement of water that may reach six meters or more. The water smashes across low coastal areas. Surges are commonly responsible for about ninety percent of all deaths from ocean storms.   These storms also cause high waves and oceanal(改：ocean) (?)（改：surges）. A (?) is a continuing（continuous） movement of water that may reach 6 meters or more. The water smashes across low coastal areas. (?) are commonly reasponsible for about 90% of all death from ocean storms.

我的听力（红色为错误部分，橙色为不完全正确部分）

Powerful storms are called hurricanes when they form over the Atlantic ocean and the Eastern Pacific. They're called typhoons in the north western Pacific, and (?) when they developed over the Indian ocean. Whatever we call them, these storms are the subject of our program this week.

 

So there(更正：Severe) ocean's storms in the northern half of the world, generally developed（更正：develop） in late summer or early autumn near the equator. Storms can result when the air tempreture(?) in one area. It's(更正：去掉逗号，it's改成is) different from one and the other（更正：that of another).  Warmer air rises, and cooler air falls. These movements create a difference in the pressure of the atmosphere. If the pressure changes over a large area. Wings start to blow in a huge circle. High pressure air is fold（pulled） into a low pressure center. So there（更正：severe） ocean storms happen less often in the southern hemisphere. There, the season of greatest (?)（更正：activity） is between December and March. South of the equator, the winds flow in the same direction as the hands on a clock. North of the equator, they flow counter clockwise. This is because as earth turns, air is fold（pulled） to the right in the northern hemisphere, In the southern hemisphere, air is fold（pulled） to the left.

>>>>>>>>总结>>>>>>>>>

第一次听慢速VOA，大意能听懂。速度没有想象中的快，比较像4级考试的语速。不过后面一些说明性的句子听得不明白，楞是把pulled听成fold，显然是没理解文章的意思。

还有一个以前从来没有遇到的问题——标点和断句。Storms can result when the air temperature in one area is different from that of another. 这句，我把这句话分成了两个句子。虽然单词没错，但意思完全没明白。听力的时候往往没有那么多时间来思考前后联系，看来以后要加强在听写时的逻辑思维训练。

最后一个问题是时间。这次听写用了半个多小时，显然不科学。应当先听一遍原文再逐句听写，最后订正。我想这样三遍应该是比较合适吧。

>>>>>>>>词汇>>>>>>>>>
[新词]

cyclone        n.旋风, 飓风, 暴风, 龙卷风, [气]气旋

近义词： hurricane, typhoon, (powerful) storm

severe         adj.严厉的, 严格的, 剧烈的, 严重的, 严峻的

避免和前面的powerful重复。修饰strom

[半生不熟]

counter-clockwise   逆时针方向（听写时少写了个横线）

[旧词重记]

四大洋：Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic Ocean,  Indian Ocean
(问题：貌似北冰洋和印度洋必须加Ocean，而Atlantic可加可不加，Pacific不加)

atmosphere - hemisphere
词根：-sphere      n.球, 球体, 范围, 领域, 方面, 圈子, 半球
atmo- 气  hemi-半

*没听出来或者比较模糊的单词有：

pull(ed)：没明白意思，我理科差，觉得fold也说得过去- -
southern ：和其他人一样我也觉得念得是"sudden"。可见voa练的并非是对单词的熟系，而是对句子理解力。
greatest activity：连读。以为是“dacticity”
develop：因为通常用于被动所以我毫不犹豫地给所有develop加上ed 。
介词！！！！ 老问题了，一不仔细就会弄错
that of another：听成one of the other. 这个短语本来就有错而且人家说得还不是这个……唉

>>>>>>翻译作业>>>>>>>

1.If the pressure changes over a large area, winds start to blow in a huge circle. High-pressure air is pulled into a low-pressure center.

如果压力是在较大区域内改变，那就会形成一个巨大的风圈。高压下的空气会被拉入低压中心。
主持人翻译：如果气压改变大，风就会呈一个大的环型吹动。高气压区的空气会流向低气压区中心。

2. Severe ocean storms happen less often in the southern hemisphere. There the season of greatest activity is between December and March.

在南半球强烈的大洋风暴一般较少发生。头一年的12月至第二年3月是风暴活动最剧烈的季节。
主持人翻译：相比北半球，大的海洋暴风雨在南半球很少发生。在南半球最大的暴风雨发生最多的季节是在每年12月到第二年的3月。

3. This is because as Earth turns, air is pulled to the right in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, air is pulled to the left.

这是因为，当地球旋转时，在北半球，空气被拉到的右边，而在南半球，空气被拉到左边。
主持人翻译：这是因为当地球旋转时，气流偏向右边。而在南半球，大气偏向左边。

对比大家的翻译，我把pull翻译得太老实了- -

1点了……睡觉觉T_T
