用英語描述《西游記》是不是很難?是不是想半天也不知道師父、徒弟、去西天取經(jīng)這些詞怎么表達?英文配音版《西游記》終于來了,趕緊學起來。
1?總結(jié)詞匯
師父:master
徒弟:disciple
唐僧:Tang Priests,有些妖怪管唐僧叫reverend,意思是牧師,相當于和尚、師父也有土地之類管唐僧叫Holy Monk,就是圣僧
悟空:Monkey,有些神仙管孫悟空叫美猴王Monkey King,有些叫大圣Great Sage
八戒:Pigsy
沙僧:Sandy
和尚:monk
取經(jīng):fetch scriptures
妖怪:demon
唐僧見到生人的臺詞是這樣的:I come from Great Tang, I'm going west for scriptures. 這句話可以自行翻譯了。
2?用英語描述《西游記》
Tang Priest and his three disciples (Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy) went to the west to fetch Buddhist scriptures. They met 81 difficulties on their way.?
Tang Priest was a kind person and looked handsome. Some demons, like lion and elephant,?wanted to eat Tang Priest because they believed his flesh could make them?immortal. Some female demons wanted to?marry him. Monkey was very?intelligent,?skillful?and?resourceful. He also had?a network of?powerful?gods and Buddha.?He?either?defeated?those demons?or?asked other gods?for help. Pigsy was lazy and liked chasing?pretty girls. Monkey always?made fun of?him, so he brought them a lot of fun?on their tough way. Sandy was?faithful?and ordinary, so he?looked after?their luggage carefully and?took care of?Tang Priest.
Eventually, they got scriptures and went back to the Great Tang.?
這是基礎(chǔ)素材,雅思考生可以根據(jù)不同話題隨機應(yīng)變,跟孫猴子一樣。注意加粗的是地道表達,看似十分簡單,自己用出來并且用正確是需要功夫的。
3?童年喜歡的玩具
Describe a toy you liked in your?childhood
You should say:

答案示例:
I'd like to talk about a group of masks I received as a gift when I was 9. They are masks that looked like Tang Priest and his three disciples (Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy) from a TV series. They went to the west to fetch Buddhist scriptures and met 81 difficulties on their way. I was into the TV series, so my parents bought me those characters' masks.?
Tang Priest was a kind person and looked handsome. Some demons, like lion and elephant,?wanted to eat Tang Priest because they believed his flesh could make them immortal. Some female demons wanted to marry him. Monkey was very intelligent, skillful and resourceful. He often defeated those demons. Pigsy was lazy and liked pretty girls. Sandy was?faithful and ordinary, so he looked after their luggage carefully and took care of Tang Priest.?Eventually, they overcame all the difficulties and got scriptures and went back to the Great Tang.
男生版:My friends and I often put on those masks and played different roles. I felt brave when I wore Monkey's mask and I wished I could be a hero like him one day. (191 words,講流利了2分鐘能說完)
女生版:My friends and I often put on those masks and played different roles. I felt romantic when I played those beautiful female demons. I wished I could marry a guy who was as handsome as Tang Priest. ?(哈哈哈,別打我。就是舉個例子,雅思不考真實的生活經(jīng)歷,考你用英語聊天的能力,經(jīng)歷和想法可以編,但是編出來的內(nèi)容要合乎情理。)
