【正确答案】人们经常疑惑为什么他们去超市花了那么多钱,又经常买回一些他们原先没有打算要买的商品。一项最近的调查显示,75%逛杂货店的人至少有过1次冲动消费。他们或是被商品显眼的摆放所吸引,或是被五颜六色的包装所吸引。对于这些消费者来说,有一种简单方法既能够帮助他们避免冲动消费又能省钱。那就是,提前列好购物清单,并严格执行。
【答案解析】[听力原文]
People often wonder why they have spend so much money at the supermarket, and often on things they didn't intend to buy in the first place. A recent survey indicates that 75% of all grocery shoppers make at least one impulse buying. They may be attracted by eye-catching display, or colorful package. For those shoppers, there is a simple way of avoiding impulse buying, and saving money on groceries. That is, they should make a shopping list beforehand, and stick to it.
[解析] 本段第一句活提出疑问,记录下关键信息在于:
? +$
×buy
下文解答超市花钱多的译文。第二句话重点要记录下数字75%,同时抓住关键词“impulse buying”(冲动消费),根据第三句的内容在关键词后面加具体事例:display和package。最后一句话提出了解决方案,关键词是“make a shopping list”和“stick to it”。段落的听译要注意抓住关键信息,而不是抓住每个词语,才能得出完整合理的译文。
