雅思口語(yǔ)考試中關(guān)于顏色的話題
關(guān)于“顏色”的話題,一直在雅思口語(yǔ)考題中占有一席之地,很多初學(xué)的學(xué)員想要進(jìn)行深入了解。為了幫助到大家,在此為廣大學(xué)員帶來(lái)了關(guān)于雅思口語(yǔ)考試中關(guān)于顏色的話題,供大家學(xué)習(xí)參考。
關(guān)于色彩,其實(shí)對(duì)考生們來(lái)講都不陌生,因?yàn)樾W(xué)英語(yǔ)就已經(jīng)教授了關(guān)于眾多顏色的表達(dá)。相信幾乎每一位考生都可以很輕松的說出“black, white, yellow, red, green, grey, brown, blue”等等顏色。但是,對(duì)于色彩的表現(xiàn)和對(duì)顏色的深刻理解又是相當(dāng)一部分考生們所缺乏的。面對(duì)當(dāng)前的雅思口語(yǔ)關(guān)于“色彩”的考題,考生們大多變得如那些“深色”一樣黯淡,很難如那些“亮色”一樣精彩,讓考官們眼前一亮。
縱觀當(dāng)前的考查范圍,可以說“色彩”幾乎貫穿了整個(gè)口語(yǔ)考題的三個(gè)部分。在part 1中,有個(gè)topic關(guān)于顏色,著眼于考察考生們“最喜愛的顏色”,“偏愛深色還是淺色”以及“一些顏色在中國(guó)是否有著特殊的意義”等。而在part 2中,有個(gè)地點(diǎn)類話題“Describe a place you went to that was full of color”,要求考生描述一個(gè)多彩的地方,是一個(gè)典型的色彩與地點(diǎn)結(jié)合的考題。
下面,我們以“最喜愛的顏色”為例,剖析一下當(dāng)前考生的狀況。
Question:
What is your favorite color?
Possible answer from students:
Well, as for my favorite color, I think it is blue. Because I like blue sky, and the color of blue always reminds of the blue ocean and sky. You know, I really enjoy walking in the long and soft beaches and feeling the sea breeze.
解析:該考生的答案為“藍(lán)色”,顯然該考生是以大海的顏色為思路拓展展開的。當(dāng)然,該聯(lián)想是非常合理和常見的,但是,這樣的答案也是顯得較為“經(jīng)典老套”的,很難讓考官眼前一亮。其實(shí),關(guān)于顏色的聯(lián)想不僅僅局限在“大?!保忌鷤兺耆梢宰龀龈顚哟蔚穆?lián)想,例如:文化、傳統(tǒng)、服飾、性格、時(shí)尚、藝術(shù)等領(lǐng)域。
在“顏色”的聯(lián)想中,我們將文化和各地傳統(tǒng)方面的因素納入考慮。其實(shí),不同的文化中,相同的顏色往往意味著不同的含義。例如上述答案中提到的“藍(lán)色”。中國(guó)人面對(duì)藍(lán)色肯定感覺是心馳神往般的舒暢。實(shí)際上,藍(lán)色在英語(yǔ)國(guó)家有憂郁的含義,如美國(guó)有“藍(lán)色星期一”(blueMonday),指心情不好的星期一。bluesky在英語(yǔ)中意思是“沒有價(jià)值”,所以,把“藍(lán)天”牌臺(tái)燈翻譯成BlueSkyLamp,意思便是“沒用的臺(tái)燈”,這樣的臺(tái)燈怎能銷得出去呢?另外,埃及人和比利時(shí)人視藍(lán)色為倒霉的顏色。所以,上述考生的答案雖然客觀陳述了天空和大海的顏色,但是因?yàn)榭脊賹?duì)“藍(lán)色”的西式理解是截然不同的,非常有可能引起不認(rèn)同感和偏差感。
除此以外,關(guān)于一些“在中國(guó)有著特殊含義的顏色”,最先讓人們能想到的可能就是“紅色”,因?yàn)榧t色吉利喜慶,代表著熱情紅火。在中國(guó)一些婚宴場(chǎng)合,紅色是非常多見的。但考慮到文化差異,紅色在西方國(guó)家往往又有著截然不同的含義,西方人對(duì)紅色的理解為血腥、暴力,警告等等。
除此以外,我們繼續(xù)關(guān)注一下part2關(guān)于“色彩”與“地點(diǎn)”的聯(lián)系。在描述一個(gè)多彩的地方話題時(shí),難點(diǎn)往往在于將如何去闡述這個(gè)地方“多彩”的原因。其實(shí),在解答這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候,往往也可以往“文化傳統(tǒng)”方面去考慮。以下,筆者將結(jié)合自己曾經(jīng)做志愿者的經(jīng)歷,以中東一個(gè)名叫Bahrain的國(guó)家為例,給各位展示“多彩”的古堡。
Describe a place you went to that was full of color
You should say:
Where it was
Why you went there
What you did there
And explain why you think this place was made so colorful.
Simple Answer:
If I have to say a few words on a place I went to that was full of color, what comes to my mind first is a place called Manama, the capital city of a middle-east country named the kingdom of Bahrain.
As far as I can recall, about 3 years ago, I joined a volunteer group and went there to do some volunteer job. Definitely, besides the job, I visited a lot of fantastic places and took thousands of pictures. A place, which impressed me most, is a fort. You know, forts can be commonly found in Arabic cities, but the forts in Manama are so unique. Because they are built in various colors, like dark yellow, white, light blue and even purple. That was so amazing that attracts millions of people from all over the word every year. One of my local friends told me that why should these fort been built in different colors is closely connected to local cultures. You know, different religions are mixed up in this mid east land.
I think I was deeply attracted by the amazing colorful forts there and even curious about its mysterious culture there.
