「In a hurry」,譯為「匆忙」。匆忙這個狀態相信如今的大家已經不再陌生了吧?作為深受ddl(deadline)主義侵蝕和拖延症晚期洗腦的我們,堅持履行著不到關鍵時刻絕不從床上爬起來的「行為準則」。比如:
「1500字的papar, due前24小時才開始動筆」
「一晚上爆肝熬出了兩周前布置小組PPT」
「Final期間一晚上刷完四百頁的專業書」
.諸如此類的場景,相信大家十分熟悉。所以在雅思口語中關於此類「匆忙」事件的討論會是怎樣的展現形式呢?鴨先知幫大家總結出了以下三個主要方向:
-個人經歷
-個人喜好
-個人看法及認知
首先關於個人經歷類,只需要將自己在「in a hurry」狀態下完成的事情進行陳述即可。這個部分相信大家都會有很多素材可以講述,生活類的素材例如:可以從起床遲了趕車上班,或者是忘記了和某人的約會從而趕路等;學習類的素材例如熬夜寫paper等。當然考官還可能會問你關於一定不會在「hurry」狀態下做的事,這個回答就可以結合自己實際情況進行說明。比如有的人吃飯一定不能著急,不然就會胃痛;有的人出門旅行一定要提前打包,不然就會遺漏東西等。
例句:
Weeks ago, I went to my yoga session in a rush because of an unplanned event came up hours before it, which later caused a domino effect on the rest of my other plans and activities. I ended up having to travel during the peak of the traffic and unfortunately got late for my class and missed the warm-up practice.
I never rush to pack at the last minute for an upcoming trip, pack ahead of time makes it unlikely for me to forget the travel essentials or the trivial items, like my identity document, phone chargers, the adapter or a lip balm. Being an early-packer is a great tactic for a forgetful person like me.
其次關於個人偏好類,主要就是詢問大家關於「ddl是第一生產力」的個人觀點。有的人覺得只有在緊張的狀態下,自己才能「主動」的將全部精力集中在需要處理的事件上,高效率的完成任務;但有的人是非常討厭自己處於「hurry」狀態下,因為一般匆忙帶來的就是焦慮和緊張,過大的壓力反倒制約了他們的能力。
例句:
Not at all. I have a proper sense of time and I am very deliberate about what I do, being tied to the clock and having to push myself to meet the deadlines in a short period of time may place tremendous stress on my mind, which is overly nerve-racking! What’s more, always being in a rush as how I perceive can relate to low effectiveness, as working too fast may result in errors and lower quality work.
最終關於個人看法類,考官主要是想看到烤鴨們對於「in a hurry」這個表象下面的深層次思考。比如關於「hurry」是否能和效率形成正向相關,或者是為什麼人們會在「匆忙」狀態下更容易出錯,以及如何避免自己處於「in a hurry」的狀態裡等。
例如:
It is a true fact that rushing through tasks under time constraint can kill our productivity, I think the biggest issue behind this is that the pressure of the clock could become ridiculously intense, when we are feeling on edge, we are liable to err. Even worse, rushing to get things done can also mean that we are unable to think through some problems critically, which creates more opportunities for mistakes.
