雅思听力同义转换
朗阁雅思培训中心胡佳琴
准备IELTS的烤鸭们应该知道听力的核心是定位加理解，而理解的核心是同义转换。所以，得同义词者，得听力。既然同义词对听力解题如此重要，烤鸭们该如何取胜？朗阁雅思培
训中心的专家通过对剑桥历年真题的研究，发现听力的同义转换主要有以下几个原则：
小学英语词汇表一、词性的转换
词性的转换，通俗地说就是变形，主要是指几种常见和常用的词性之间的转换，如名词、
动词、形容词和副词等。
英国延长强制休假四个月如剑桥8 Test4 Section4中的Q40
Symbolizes in Aboriginal culture
原文：Even today, Aborigines e the Rainbow Serpent as a symbol of creation.
分析：题目中的动词symbolizes被原文中的名词symbol替换，形容词Aboriginal被
原文中的名词Aborigines替换。如果注意到这两者间的词性转换，就很容易听出答案creation。
再如剑桥4 Test3 Section2中的Q12
What will the reviewer concentrate on today?
A theatre
B dance
C exhibition
原文：For today’s report though, Geoffrey, I’m looking at some of the theatrical events that you might like to e.
ielts是什么意思分析：选项中的名词theatre被原文中的形容词theatrical替换，这样就可以轻松地选择
A选项。
二、同义词或同义词组的转换
同义词的转换，顾名思义就是意思相同或相近的词之间的转换。词组的转换一般情况下是同义词转换的一个衍生。如果一个词找不到合适的同义词解释，就会用一个意思接近的词组进行解释，有时甚至会用一个句子进行同义转换。
如剑桥5 Test4 Section1中的Q3
Intended length of stay:
原文：
---And how long would you want to stay with the host family?
---I’m planning on staying a year but at the moment I’m definitely here for four months only. I have to get an extension to my permit.
分析：题目中的intended被原文中的同义词planning替换，注意到这两者间的同义转换，就不难定位答案four months, 否则就很容易掉入出题者所设置的陷阱a year中。
arbor再如剑桥9 Test1 Section2中的Q15
Shops specializes in equipment for
原文：…, but they particularly focus on running, and they claim to have the widest range of equipment in the country.
分析：题目中的词组specialize in被原文中的词组focus on替换。
还有在剑8 Test2 Section4中的Q35中出现了一个难度较大的词与句子间的同义转换Shona needs to do further rearch in order to
A prent the government with her findings.
B decide the level of extra funding needed.
C identify the preferences of the public.美国国际
英语口译
原文：I will need to do more far-reaching rearch than I had anticipated in order to establish if people want extra medical staff invested in the community, or if they want care to revert to fewer, but larger, key medical
units.omie
柯南剧场版16 第11位前锋
分析：仔细对比题目和原文，不难发现题目的正确选项中的单词preferences与原文中的句子结构if…, or if… 是同义关系。这就提醒烤鸭们，在平时的备考练习中，除了掌握意思接近的同义词或词组外，还要掌握词与句子结构间的同义转换。
三、上下义的转换
上下义是指在语义上有包含与被包含关系的词语。通常，上义词是对事物的概括性说明，下义词是对事物的具体说明。
如剑桥8 Test4 Section2中的Q16
原文：So the roadway at the entry to Thomas Street from Days Road will be painted red.
男性英文名字分析：题目中colored与原文中的red是上下义的同义转换关系，所以答案选B。
四、句子的转换
句子的转换主要是指主动句和被动句的转换，陈述句和疑问句的转换，以及肯定句和否定句的转换。
如剑桥4 Test1 Section2中的Q12
The metal industry was established at Riverside Village by who lived in the area.
原文：Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here, on the bend in the river.
分析：题目中的被动句be established by…与原文中的local craftsmen built…构成了同义转换，导致答案前置，所以本题的难度系数较大，不易定位答案local craftsmen。
再如剑桥8 Test4 Section2中的Q12
It has been decided that the overhead power lines will be
A extended.
B buried.
C repaired.
原文：Well, I’m happy to report that the power company have agreed to move the overhead power lines underground at a cost of $800,000.
分析：题目中的被动句It has been decided that the overhead power lines will be 与原文中的主动句the power company have agreed to move the overhead power lines underground进行了同义转换，所以答案选B。
还有在剑桥7 Test4 Section3中的Q22
The prentation will not be .
原文：
-
--And is this one going to be assd?
---No, not this time round, becau it’s the first one, you know.
分析：题目中的陈述句与原文中的疑问句进行了同义转换，导致答案前置，但是因为答案assd离关键词not很近，所以不难定位。
最后看剑桥5 Test2 Section2中的Q14
What does Dan say about the town of Rivas?
A It has received the greatest number of bikes.
B It has almost as many bikes as Amsterdam.
C Its economy has been totally transformed.
原文：One example of a town that’s received bicycles from Pedal Power is Rivas. It was the first place I nt a full container of bicycles to. Most people there now own a bicycle. The local economy has developed so much, you wouldn’t recognize it as the same place. In fact, there are more bikes than on the streets of Amsterdam, if you’ve ever been there.
分析：正确选项中的肯定句Its economy has been totally transformed与原文中的否定句The local economy has developed so much, you wouldn’t recognize it as the same place进行了同义转换。
综上所述，同义转换在雅思听力中可以说是无处不在的，不仅Section1中有，Section4中也有；不仅填空题中有，选择题中也有。烤鸭们在做题的时候要注意哪里出现了同义转换，是怎样进行转换的，不仅能扩充自己的词汇量，也有助于了解出题者的思路和常见的陷阱，做到“知己知彼，百战不殆”。另外，它山之石可以攻玉，烤鸭们还可以把听力中学到的同义词灵活运用于阅读和写作中，为阅读和写作添色。
