當(dāng)提及六級聽力時,尤其是英語六級真題聽力,我們不禁會想起那些考驗英語學(xué)習(xí)者聽力理解能力的挑戰(zhàn)。作為英語六級考試的重要組成部分,六級聽力部分不僅要求考生能夠捕捉和識別出基本的語言信息,更需要他們在有限的時間內(nèi)對復(fù)雜的語境進行準確理解,并快速作出反應(yīng)。小編為大家整理了2023年3月英語六級真題聽力第一套Recording 2的內(nèi)容,希望能對您有所幫助!

Today we are talking about loneliness.
今天我們要談?wù)劰陋殹?/span>
Loneliness and social isolation are growing public health concerns for people of all ages in the United States, from adolescence to the elderly.
孤獨和社會隔離正成為美國各個年齡段人群日益嚴重的公共衛(wèi)生問題,從青少年到老年人都是如此。
Public health experts are worried because loneliness seems to be on the rise, and studies have long found correlations between loneliness and an assortment of medical conditions that threaten health and longevity.
公共衛(wèi)生專家對此感到擔(dān)憂,因為孤獨感似乎在上升,而且長期以來,研究都發(fā)現(xiàn)孤獨感與一系列威脅健康和長壽的醫(yī)學(xué)狀況之間存在關(guān)聯(lián)。
The problem of loneliness may be even greater than we thought. A new national poll found that about a third of older Americans are lonely, and almost as many seniors feel isolated.
孤獨問題可能比我們想象的更為嚴重。一項新的全國調(diào)查顯示,約三分之一的美國老年人感到孤獨,幾乎同樣多的老年人感到孤立無援。
This is a serious problem, as research shows that chronic loneliness is particularly harmful to senior citizens. That's because it can impair older adults' memory and damage their physical and mental health.
這是一個嚴重的問題,因為研究表明,長期孤獨對老年人尤其有害。這是因為孤獨會損害老年人的記憶力,損害他們的身心健康。
Chronic loneliness even impacts the life expectancy of seniors, increasing their risk of early mortality.
長期孤獨甚至?xí)绊懤夏耆说念A(yù)期壽命,增加他們早逝的風(fēng)險。
Let's take a closer look at that poll now. More than a third of seniors in the poll said they felt lonely at least some of the time, and 27 percent said they sometimes or often felt isolated.
現(xiàn)在讓我們更詳細地看看這項調(diào)查。調(diào)查中的超過三分之一的老年人表示,他們至少有時會感到孤獨,27%的人表示他們有時會或經(jīng)常感到被孤立。
This reflects how much time the seniors spent with others. Almost 30 percent said they socialized with friends, family, or neighbors once a week or less.
這反映了老年人與他人相處的時間長短。近30%的人表示,他們每周與朋友、家人或鄰居的社交活動不超過一次。
Women were more likely than men to report loneliness, but there is good news: it looks like loneliness can be reversed.
女性比男性更容易感到孤獨,但有一個好消息:孤獨感似乎是可以逆轉(zhuǎn)的。
But researchers are still trying to determine the best way to do so. Why is that? Resolving the problem of loneliness among seniors often isn't as simple as getting them together with others or moving them in with their children.
但研究人員仍在努力確定最佳方法。為什么呢?解決老年人孤獨的問題往往不像讓他們與他人在一起或搬去與子女同住那么簡單。
In fact, the poll found that seniors who lived with their children were more likely to report feeling lonely than those who didn't.
事實上,調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),與子女同住的老年人比沒有與子女同住的老年人更容易感到孤獨。
This maybe because loneliness refers to the discrepancy between actual and desired relationships, so it's possible that someone who lives alone doesn't meet that definition.
這可能是因為孤獨感指的是實際關(guān)系與期望關(guān)系之間的差異,所以獨居的人可能并不符合這個定義。
while someone in a house full of busy people does, how can we solve the problem?
然而,對于那些身處滿是忙碌人群的家中的人,我們該如何解決他們的孤獨問題呢?
Well, the researchers assert that it's important to address each person's underlying cause of loneliness, whether it's the death of a spouse, medical problems, or social expectations that haven't been fulfilled.
研究人員斷言,解決每個人孤獨的根本原因很重要,無論是配偶的去世、健康問題,還是未滿足的社交期望。
It's noteworthy that there is one general recommendation while finding solutions for loneliness is highly personal: research suggests the best interventions are those that involve meaningful social contact at least once a week, depending on the person.
值得注意的是,雖然解決孤獨的方法高度個性化,但有一個普遍的建議:研究表明,最好的干預(yù)措施是每周至少進行一次有意義的社交接觸,這取決于個人情況。
That could mean volunteering, seeing an old friend, or something else.
這可能意味著做志愿者、拜訪老朋友,或者其他活動。
