The most effective people are the same whether they arc having a conversation with friends or giving a public speech to a large audience, and their gestures match their words.
[解析] 关键词汇:effective:有效的,有效率的;match:和……一致。这个句子其实不难,如果能把状语听出来,效率最高的那些人其实都是一样的,是指哪方面一样呢?后面的句子如果能翻译出来也就能拿到大部分分数了。其实后面这句如果能听出前半部分就可以推出后面一部分来,和朋友交流可以作为比较,推出后面在公共场合对一大群人说话。再加上这句话的关键词汇match,能够听懂并翻译出来基本就能拿满分了。

Often, we learn wisdom from failure. We often discover what we will do by finding out what we cannot do. And probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
[解析] 关键词汇:discover:发现;find out:发现,找出。这句话的翻译难点是对从句的听力理解,在翻译这句话时,可以把宾语从句直接翻译成独立的句子,然后再把两个句子合起来。“discover what we will do”翻译成发现我们要做的事情,后面一句“find out what we cannot do”翻译成找到我们不能做的事情,然后把两个句子合成一句。后面的也是一样。人类总是通过自己不及之事发现未来可努力的方向。
