Shoes
作为生活必须品之一,鞋,已经不是第一次在题库中出现了。许久之前,它也曾经在第一部分中和考生们谋面过一段时间,对于这次重返题库,毫无违和感而言。 近期向鑫姐微信和微博私信留言的好多烤鸭们也都表示对这个话题感觉头痛, 那么今天鑫姐就跟大家解析一下这个话题, 希望能够助大家一臂之力~
首先有如下词汇,考生们可以了解一下, 无害:
中文 | 英文 | 备注 |
鞋 | Shoes / footwear | 后者为鞋的总称,本话题中不太能用到。 |
雪鞋 | Snowshoes / snow boots | 后者通常指的是高筒的雪地靴 |
凉鞋 | Sandals | -- |
高跟鞋 | High-heeled shoes | -- |
平底鞋 | Flat shoes | -- |
雨靴 | Rain boots | -- |
皮鞋 | Leather shoes | -- |
帆布鞋 | Canvas shoes | -- |
胶底的 | Rubber-soled | 形容词/其他底的也可以用类似的方式表达 |
球鞋 | Sneakers | 泛指运动鞋,并不特指篮球鞋 |
篮球鞋 | Basketball shoes/boots | 就是这么简单 |
限量版球鞋 | Limited-edition sneakers | 各种系列球鞋,可以用series一词。如,a pair of basketball shoes, AJ-12 series |
1, What kind of shoes do you like?
解析:
你喜欢什么样的鞋?其实本题提问非常泛泛,考生可以针对鞋的种类(如,平底鞋,运动鞋,皮鞋等等),鞋的材质以及颜色等方面来回答。下面参考答案以休闲鞋为例。
As a student, the shoes I like are casual ones. Initially, shoes like this are not expensive, and besides they are comfortable enough for me to wear them for a long day. Specifically, I often climb stairs during the daytime and sometimes even do some sports with them.
Casual shoes:休闲鞋
如果考生喜欢其他种类的鞋,在回答时也同样需要表明喜欢的原因。如,喜欢皮鞋,因为显得很正式,作为上班族这个是必须品等等。"A pair of black leather shoes” is what I need to wear everyday during week days, as it matches my uniform perfectly. By the way, black leather shoes make me look quite formal and professional.
Match: 动词,搭配
2, Do you prefer comfortable shoes or fashionable ones?
解析:
你喜欢舒适的鞋还是时尚的鞋?此类二选一的问题,考生可以非常灵活地回答。选择其中一个肯定是没有问题的,两者都选,分开介绍也是可行方案。下面参考答案就是分场合讨论的例子。
It totally depends on what kinds of occasions I wear them on. As to a common day, I like to choose comfortable shoes with which I need to walk for a long distance. A pair of comfortable shoes can protect my feet. On the other hand, if I need to go to a party, a pair of fashionable shoes can become my “must-have” to show my taste of fashion.
must-have:必须品
taste of fashion:时尚的品味
一个非常矫情的答案就是两者必须都选也是可以的。如,The shoes I like to buy must be both fairly comfortable and stylish. That’s the reason why I always spend much time looking for a pair of perfect shoes in shopping malls.
Stylish: 时尚的
3, Have you ever bought shoes on line? / Do you like buying shoes on line?
解析:
你在网上买过鞋吗?/你喜欢网购鞋吗?第一题的回答,考生一定要注意时态的准确应用。如果讲述自己的网络鞋经历,那么一般过去时的应用必须准确。后面的问题,其实就是分析网购鞋的优缺点而已。如下答案供大家参考。
Yes, I used to do that and I used to have some quite unhappy shopping experiences of buying shoes on line. Accordingly, I don’t think I will do that again. The main reason is I can’t try them on before I receive them, meaning that I do know whether they really fit me or not. Size of shoes in my country is not really standardized, which means people need to try every pair of shoes before they make the right decision.
shopping experience购物经历
standardized标准化的
如果考生倾向于网购鞋,那么则需突出其优势。如,价格便宜,选择较多等。
4, Which pair of shoes do you like best? And why?
解析:
你最喜欢的一双鞋是什么?为什么?本题就是让考生针对自己最爱的鞋子进行描述。如,类别,材质,颜色甚至功能等。如下一个球鞋控的答案供大家参考。
The pair I like most is a pair of sneakers with the brand of Air Jordan. It’s a limited edition and costs me pretty much money. I spent nearly my whole years’ pocket money on it the year before last year. By the way, it is a kind of collection for me, and of course I don’t think I will wear it one day.
最喜欢的,喜欢到舍不得穿的地步。其实本题,考生完全可以答的更矫情。不过,似乎这类的答案比较适合女同学。如,The pair of shoes I like most must be the one I will buy next. 我喜欢的,就是下一双。
5,Do you prefer to buy some expensive shoes? Luxury shoes?
解析:
你喜欢买一些很贵的鞋吗?奢侈品鞋吗?是不是土豪,一答便知。如下答案是一个有土豪的心,没土豪的命的答法, 思路创新。
If I have sufficient budget, why not? Expensive shoes always mean a better design, better materials and being more fashionable. And of course more comfort can be offered by expensive shoes. I have to say that shoes are something that people need to pay big money for, since whether they are comfortable or not really matters a lot.
sufficient budget充足的预算
这个答案的意思是,有钱就买啊。名牌当然好啊。开头第一句,如果考生愿意使用if引导的第二条件句,也是炫出口语技能的一个好办法。If I had that much money, I would buy some extravagant shoes without a shadow of doubt.
Extravagant 奢侈的; 铺张浪费的
6, What kind of people like to buy many pairs of shoes?
什么样的人喜欢买好多鞋?在物质生活富足的今天,购物狂可并不稀罕啊,尤其是女性购物狂更是泛滥成灾。在此”黑”购物狂一下也无妨。如下答案供大家参考。
They must be shopaholics who are addicted to buying whatever they can see in shopping malls. They like to buy many pairs of shoes with the same design but different colors to match their various clothes. You know, the rich always can find out many unusual ways to spend their money. That is what I do admire.
