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(zhǔn)確理解,并快速作出反應(yīng)。小編為大家整理了2022年12月英語六級真題聽力第二套Recording 2的內(nèi)容,希望能對您有所幫助!
英文原文

錄音2
Why do we form opinions or attitudes about someone or something without really knowing much about them? Just hearing something good or bad about a person, a place, or thing can influence our opinions positively or negatively. But letting the opinions of another person determine what our opinions will be is dangerous.
為什么我們在對某人或某事物不太了解的情況下就會形成觀點或態(tài)度?僅僅聽到關(guān)于一個人、一個地方或一件事的好或壞,就可能正面或負(fù)面地影響我們的觀點。但是,讓別人的觀點決定我們的觀點是危險的。
Forming opinions about someone or something before really knowing them well is called prejudice. Pre means "before" and Judas (though likely a typo, intended might be "judice" which refers to judgment). Hence, prejudice means to judge before having adequate knowledge. We can be prejudiced toward or against someone or something. In either case, we are only allowing ourselves to see half of the picture. Very few people or things in this world are all good or all bad.
在對某人或某事物充分了解之前就形成觀點被稱為偏見。Pre意味著“之前”,而Judas(可能是個拼寫錯誤,本意可能是“judice”,即“判斷”)。因此,偏見意味著在獲得足夠知識之前就進行判斷。我們可能對某人或某事物持有偏見。在任何情況下,我們都只是讓自己看到了半真半假的情況。在這個世界上,很少有人或事物是完全好或完全壞的。
Prejudiced attitudes are usually based on myths, half-truths, or incorrect information, and they are dangerous because they can keep us from learning the truth about someone or something. People form prejudices against others for many reasons, such as differences in their race, religion, gender, or occupation. Prejudices keep people apart; they keep us from really knowing and understanding each other.
偏見的態(tài)度通常基于謠言、半真半假的信息或錯誤的信息,并且它們很危險,因為它們會阻止我們了解某人或某事物的真相。人們因為許多原因而對他人產(chǎn)生偏見,如種族、宗教、性別或職業(yè)的差異。偏見使人們疏遠(yuǎn);它們阻止我們真正相互了解和認(rèn)識。
We should feel proud of who we are and the group of people we represent. However, if feelings of pride begin to turn to feelings of superiority, when we think that our group or our beliefs are better than those around us, then we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes that can be harmful.
我們應(yīng)該為自己是誰以及我們所代表的人群感到自豪。然而,如果自豪感開始轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閮?yōu)越感,當(dāng)我們認(rèn)為我們的群體或信仰比周圍的人更好時,我們就會開始形成有害的偏見態(tài)度。
For example, the prejudiced attitudes of one group may keep another group from attending certain schools, from living in any neighborhood they want, or from getting a job or a promotion. Extreme feelings of prejudice have caused the deaths of innocent people.
例如,一個群體的偏見態(tài)度可能會阻止另一個群體進入某些學(xué)校、住在他們想住的任何社區(qū),或者阻止他們獲得工作或晉升。極端的偏見情緒甚至導(dǎo)致了無辜者的死亡。
We are responsible for our own thoughts and opinions. When we let someone else tell us what to think about someone or something, we are giving up some control of our own lives. Before you form an attitude or opinion, find out for yourself about the person or the thing in question.
我們要對自己的思想和觀點負(fù)責(zé)。當(dāng)我們讓別人告訴我們對某人或某事的看法時,我們就是在放棄對自己生活的一些控制。在形成態(tài)度或觀點之前,請自己去了解相關(guān)的人或事物。
Sometimes, we don't realize that we hold prejudiced attitudes toward or against someone or something. We need to carefully examine our lives and our fears, and to ask ourselves whether our attitudes come from our personal knowledge and experience, or from rumors and fear of the unknown. The good news about prejudice is that we are not born with it. Prejudiced attitudes and opinions develop over time, but with education and knowledge, we can replace our prejudices with cooperation and understanding.
有時,我們沒有意識到自己對某人或某事物持有偏見的態(tài)度。我們需要仔細(xì)審視自己的生活和恐懼,并問自己,我們的態(tài)度是來自于個人的知識和經(jīng)驗,還是來自于謠言和對未知的恐懼。關(guān)于偏見的好消息是,我們并非生來就帶有偏見。偏見的態(tài)度和觀點是隨著時間的推移而形成的,但是通過教育和知識,我們可以將偏見轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)楹献骱屠斫狻?/span>
