雅思聽力在考試中占據(jù)著重要的地位，時常用聽力材料來磨耳朵可以不斷鞏固大腦的英語語言能力。以下是雅思聽力材料，您可以結(jié)合MP3和下方的原文及翻譯進行聽力學(xué)習(xí)。

聽力原文及翻譯

A: So what can we say about helping people to lose weight? There's a lot we could say about what restaurants could do to reduce obesity, I read that the items at the start of a menu, and the items at the end of a menu are much more likely to be chosen than the items in the middle, so if you put the low calorie items at the beginning, and end of the menu, people will probably go for the food with fewer calories without even realizing what they're doing.

A：那么我們能說些什么來幫助人們減肥呢？關(guān)于餐館可以做些什么來減少肥胖，我們可以說很多，我讀到菜單開頭和結(jié)尾的菜品比中間的菜品更容易被選擇，所以如果你把低熱量的菜品放在菜單的開頭和結(jié)尾，人們可能會在不知不覺中就選擇熱量較低的食物。

B: I think food manufacturers could do more to encourage healthy eating.

B：我認為食品制造商可以做更多的事情來鼓勵健康飲食。

A: How?

A：怎么做？

B: Well. when manufacturers put calorie counts of a food on the label, they're sometimes really confusing, and I suspect they do it on purpose because food that's high in calories taste better, and so they'll sell more.

B：嗯。當(dāng)制造商在標簽上標明食物的卡路里數(shù)時，有時會讓人感到困惑，我懷疑他們是故意這樣做的，因為高熱量的食物味道更好，所以賣得更多。

A: Yeah, so if you look at the amount of calories in a pizza, they'll give you the calories per quarter pizza, and you think oh that's not too bad, but who's going to eat a quarter pizza?

A：是的，所以如果你看看披薩的卡路里含量，他們會告訴你四分之一披薩的卡路里，你會想，哦，這還不錯，但是誰會吃四分之一披薩呢？

B: Exactly!

B：沒錯！

A: I suppose another approach to this problem is to get people to exercise more.

A：我想解決這個問題的另一種方法是讓人們多鍛煉。

B: Right. In England, the current guidelines offer at least 30 minutes of brisk walking, five days a week. Now when you ask them, about 40% of men and 30% of women say they do this, but when you objectively measure the amount of working they do

with motion senses, you find that only 6% of men and 4% of women do the recommended amount of exercise.

B：對。在英國，目前的指導(dǎo)方針建議每周五天至少快走 30 分鐘。現(xiàn)在當(dāng)你問他們時，大約 40% 的男性和 30% 的女性說他們會這樣做，但當(dāng)你客觀地衡量他們用運動感官進行的工作量時，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)只有 6% 的男性和 4% 的女性做了推薦的運動量。

A: Hmm...so you can see why obesity is growing.

A：嗯……所以你可以看到為什么肥胖癥在增加。

B: So, how can people be encouraged to take more exercise?

B：那么，如何鼓勵人們多鍛煉呢？

A: Well, for example, think of the location of stairs in a train station. If people reach the stairs before they reach the escalator when they are leaving the station, they are more likely to take the stairs, and if you increase the width of the stairs, you will get more people using them at the same time. It's an unconscious process and influenced by minor modifications in their environment.

A：嗯，例如，想想火車站樓梯的位置。如果人們在離開車站時先到達樓梯，然后到達自動扶梯，他們更有可能走樓梯，如果你增加樓梯的寬度，就會有更多的人同時使用它們。這是一個無意識的過程，受到他們環(huán)境中微小變化的影響。

B: Right. And it might not be a big change, but if it happens every day, it all adds up.

B：對。這可能不是一個很大的變化，但如果每天都發(fā)生，那么一切都會累積起來。

A: Yes, but actually, I'm not sure if we should be talking about exercise in our presentation.

A：是的，但實際上，我不確定我們是否應(yīng)該在演講中談?wù)撳憻挕?/p>

B: Well, we've done quite a bit of reading about it.

B：但我們已經(jīng)閱讀了很多相關(guān)資料。

A: I know， but it's going to mean we have a very wide focus, and our tutor did

say that we need to focus on causes and solutions in terms of nutrition.

A：我知道，但這意味著我們的關(guān)注點非常廣泛，我們的導(dǎo)師確實說過，我們需要關(guān)注營養(yǎng)方面的原因和解決方案。

B: I suppose so. And we've got plenty of information about that. Okay, well, that will be simpler.

B：我想是的。我們有很多這方面的信息。好的，這樣會更簡單。

A: So what shall we do now? We've still got half an hour before our next lecture.

A：那么我們現(xiàn)在該做什么？距離下一次講座還有半個小時。

B: Let's think about what we're going to include and what will go where, then we can decide what slides we need.

B：讓我們考慮一下我們要包括什么以及要放在哪里，然后我們可以決定需要哪些幻燈片。

A: Okay, fine.

A：好的，沒問題。
