Decline Of Bees

音频文本

近期这道题很多同学在考试的时候都考到了，这篇sst的录音尽管语速不快，但如果是第一次听的话，不少同学会发现一些重要的单词不够清楚，并且有一些地方也说的很模糊，影响理解。下面我们来先看看原文。

So various conclusions. Yes, bees are in decline. These declines are well-documented, they are real, and reported by good, strong and scientific evidence. It is the only evidence that counts. The drives of declines are many, varied, depending on species. The effects of pollinator loss could be absolutely huge. So it is a catastrophe? Not yet, but it could be. On the positive side, we have aware of the problem, awareness is been raised all the time, and people are taking action. We've recognized the problem. And that, at least, is being done.

讲解分析

遵循我们记笔记的原则，出现新的信息点就需要记，并且记的时候以实词为主（笔记例子：conclusion/ bees decline/ well-docmented, evidence/ drives/ many/ species/The effects of pollinator loss, huge/ catastrophe/positive/ aware/action/）

这篇文章一开始就抛出中心论点：bees are in decline（yes是重要的信号词，表明肯定态度，are有加重语气）

之后说蜜蜂减少的结论是被强有力，科学证据所支持的。well-documented是有据可查的意思，。第一点我们可以写成，bees are in decline, which is supported by strong and scientific evidence.这里要注意It is the only evidence that counts.这里属于重复信息，并且从speaker的声音不大可以判断出来，这里不会是重要信息。

第二点由drives这个新的名词带出，depending on species是伴随状语，表示和说的是The drives of declines are many这个信息点同时发生的事情，意思是蜜蜂减少的驱动因素有很多，由它们的种类所决定。Drive这里是驱动力，原因的意思，和cause相似，实在不会拼drive但猜测到中文意思时候可以找别的同义词语代替。这点可写成：The drives of decline are various, depending on species.

第三点The effects of pollinator loss由speaker说话有点加重语气的感觉和新的信息点出现了。从这2个方面可判断出来这里会是内容分的其中一方面。pollinator loss是授粉损失，这里说授粉损失的影响也许会很大，虽然现在来说不是catastrophe，以后可能会是。

最后一点是on the positive side, 人们已经意识到这个是个问题，并且采取措施来解决。（这里的awareness is been raised all the time是重复信息，和we are aware of the problem说的是同一个点）

参考答案

Sst在写的时候

1.尽量用原文原词

2.句子之间的逻辑关系要表达清楚

参考：The conclusion of the decline of bees is well-documented, which are supported by strong and scientific evidence. Moreover, the drives of the decline are various, depending on species. Although the effect of pollinator loss is huge that could be catastrophic, the positive side is that people are aware of this problem and taking actions firmly. ( 55 words)
