英语四级听力题型解析07：人物关系题

四级听力人物关系题

人物关系题除了了解相关人物身份的关键信息提示词外，还需要通过特殊身份相互之间使用的特殊语言及语气来进行判断其相互关系，并通过选项提前作好预测。下面是若干人物关系经常出现的语气用词：

① 夫妻、恋人常用亲昵温柔的语气：
dear darling

② 店员与顾客常用的客气的语气：
sir madam
Can I…? What would you like to have?

③ 下属对老板常用恭敬伏贴的语气：
Mr. Mrs.
Ok Could you please…?

④ 亲朋好友常用简洁随便的语气：
Hi! What’s up?
Some water?

⑤ 父母、老师教训子女、学生常用严厉的语气：
Don’t you remember…? What are you doing?

⑥ 医生询问病人的语气：
You need take… What’s the trouble with you?

【例1】 2003.1

W: John. What are you doing on your computer? Don’t you remember your promise?
M: This is not a game. It’s only a crossword puzzle that helps increase my vocabulary.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
A) Colleagues                    B) Husband and wife
C) Employer and employee D) Mother and son

【解析】 播音之前考生需对选项（colleagues、husband and wife、employer and employee、mother and son）提前作好预测原文内容的信息词汇准备。这题需掌握对话双方的特殊身份语言及口气：原文中“扩大我的词汇量”明显提示说话者是学生，根据女士的话及含有教训的口气“不记得你作的保证？”可推知其身份为家长，所以两者的关系应为母子。选择D。

【例2】 2001.6

W: I heard you got full marks in the maths exam. Congratulations!
M: Thanks! I’m sure you also did a good job.
Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
A) A math teacher and his colleague  B) A teacher and his student
C) A student and his classmate        D) A librarian and a student

【解析】 通过选项可以断定原文内容是发生在学校里，留意对话双方的口气线索尤为重要。女士说她听说男士在数学考试中得了满分，男士说“you also did a good job.”指的是女士考得也不错，抓住关键提示词“also”，便可判断其关系是同学。答案为C。
