四级备考笔记：听力之“言外之意”题型此类题型难度较高，对话中的答复人并不从正面回答问题，仿佛答非所问。这就需要我们运用解题的规律思维与推理过程，也就是一般所说的“顺藤摸瓜”措施来答题。此类题型中，某些句子的真实含义不是直截了当地摆在我们面前，而是我们根据对话中提醒的内容去查找与其有关的其他事物以及它们之间的联络。可分为两类：陈说答复型和疑问答复型。 1)陈说答复型 例 ： M: I need to find a dentist; you said you know Dr. Smith well, do you recommend her? W: Well, I had to see her a few times, but what impressed me most was the magazines in her waiting room. Q: What does the woman imply? A) Dr. Smith’s waiting room isn’t tidy. B) Dr. Smith enjoys reading magazines. C) Dr. Smith has left a good impression on her. D) Dr. Smith may not be a good choice. 言外之意：女的丝毫不提史密斯的医术怎样，只说了某些无关紧 要的琐事，无非是示意她的医术很烂，故不情愿向男的推举。 2)疑问答复型 请把握如下几种体现提议和表达反对的语句 表达提议：Why not...? Why don’t you...? Wouldn’t...?How about...? 表达反对： Should...he/she/we/they...be doing...? 表达责怪的意思：Shouldn’t...? 例 ： W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house. M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad. Q: What does the man imply? A) The Edwards are quite well-off. B) The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses. C) It’ll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house. D) It’s too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house. 言外之意：用问句这个构造表达说话人的反对心情。
