单选题 When we are speaking face-to-face with someone, how do we understand the meaning of the other person's speech? By the words that the other person uses, of course! This is true but it is not the whole truth. According to some experts, comprehension (理解) of another person's speech includes more than the actual words. In fact, they say that the actual words contribute only between seven percent and ten percent to our understanding of the message. In addition, such things as intonation (声调), rate of speech and non-word sounds also contribute to our comprehension. ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________

【正确答案】[译文] 当我们与别人面对面谈话时，如何知晓对方话语中的含义呢?当然要通过对方所使用的语言来判断。这是事实，但这却不是全部的事实。据某些专家称，对别人语言的理解所涉及的不仅仅是实际韵语言。事实上，专家认为语言在我们。理解信息时只起7%～10%的帮助作用。除此以外，声调、语速以及非字词的声音也同样有助于我们的理解。

【答案解析】[解析] 本题是一段说明性的文字，主要说明在谈话中，我们除了要依靠语言理解对方的崽思外，还要依靠其他非语言的交流。翻译时要注意以下几个词和短语：according to意为“根据，依据”；include意为“包括，包含”；contribute to意为“有助于”；in addition意为“此外”；such…as…意为“例如……”。
