眼下正是美国的夏天。有些人会想方设法降温避暑,也有些人会把它视为到户外活动和改变一下生活常规的好机会。
如果你与美国人交谈,大概用不了多久就会听到有人使用以下这些跟夏日生活相关的习惯用语。
Catch some rays (抓阳光,即晒太阳)

举例: “Yesterday, I lay on the beach and caught some rays.”(昨天我躺在海滩上晒了晒太阳。)
(Travel) on a shoestring(用极少的费用[旅行])
含义: 用很少的钱旅行
举例: “Mike is trying to save money, so he’s traveling on a shoestring this summer.”(迈克在尽量攒钱,所以他今年夏天的旅行要苦玩。)
Dog days of summer (酷暑天)
含义: 夏天最炎热的日子; 一年中的酷暑期
举例: “It has been at least 100 degrees every day this week. The dog days of summer are here!”(这个星期每天都至少[华氏]100度。酷暑天来啦!)
Off the beaten path(不为许多人踏过的路/鲜有人至的)
含义: 很少有人去的地方;鲜为人知的地方
举例: “When traveling, Anita loves to go to places that are off the beaten path. She thinks they’re more interesting than typical tourist attractions.”(阿妮塔在旅行中喜欢去较少有人光顾的地方。她认为这些地方比通常的旅游点更有意思。)
Beat the heat (躲开高温/避开暑气)
含义: 避开夏天的炎热;让自己能够凉快或者躲到一个可以让人凉快的地方,尤指在酷暑天。
举例: “It’s always air-conditioned in the mall, so let’s go there today to beat the heat.”(购物中心里总有空调,咱们今天去那里躲高温吧。)
Soak up the (some) sun (吸收阳光,即尽情晒太阳)

举例: “Let’s go to the park and soak up some sun while the weather is nice.”(趁着天气好,咱们去公园好好晒会儿太阳吧。)
今年一笔涉及金融、粮食安全、企业文化和环境保护这些主题。E-C部分俚语较多,生僻词也偏多,考察长难句转换,抽象名词的处理,段落数量和往年类似,整体在一笔考试中难度还是算比较大的,可能需要大量翻字典。C-E相比之下要温和很多,约400字篇幅。审校部分:E-C相对较易识别(个人感觉),C-E部分有些草木皆兵。以下是试题大概,仅供参考。
