今天羊驼给各位正在准备PTE考试的同学们带来了PTE考试中的SWT题型的例题解析:Books and Television,相对来说这一篇SWT其实还是很简单的。又是一个类似于给到两方的东西。一般给到两方的东西,那你一方面记一个,或者讲述一下二者的关系、区别就可以了。接下来我们看文章,找到其中的主旨句。
一、PTE写作SWT例题的原文:
To understand the final reason why the news marketplace of ideas dominated by television is so different from the one that emerged in the world dominated by the printing press, it is important to distinguish the quality of vividness experienced by television viewers from the “vividness" experienced by readers. I believe that the vividness experienced in the reading of words is automatically modulated by the constant activation of the reasoning centers of the brain that are used in the process of concreating the representation of reality the author has intended. By contrast, the visceral vividness portrayed on television has the capacity to trigger instinctual responses similar to those triggered by reality itself-and without being modulated by logic, reason, and reflective thought.The simulation of reality accomplished in the television medium is so astonishingly vivid and compelling compared with the representations of reality conveyed by printed words that it signifies much more than an incremental change in the way people consume information. Books also convey compelling and vivid representations of reality, of course. But the reader actively participates in the conjuring of the reality the book’s author Is attempting to depict. Moreover, the parts of the human brain that are central to the reasoning process are continually activated by the very act of reading printed words: Words are composed of abstract symbols-letters-that have no intrinsic meaning themselves until they are strung together into recognizable sequences.Television, by contrast, presents to its viewers a much more fully formed representation of reality-without requiring the creative collaboration that words have always demanded.
二、PTE写作SWT例题的答案:
It is important to distinguish the quality of vividness experienced by television viewers from the 'vividness' experienced by readers, and the reader actively participates in the conjuring of the reality the book's author is attempting to depict, and the parts of the human brain that are central to the reasoning process are continually activated by the act of reading printed words, but television presents to its viewers a much more fully formed representation of reality. (75 words)
三、PTE写作SWT例题的翻译:
为了理解电视主导的新闻市场与印刷媒体主导的新闻市场如此不同的最终原因,区分电视观众体验到的生动性和读者体验到的“生动性”是很重要的。
To understand the final reason why the news marketplace of ideas dominated by television is so different from the one that emerged in the world dominated by the printing press, it is important to distinguish the quality of vividness experienced by television viewers from the “vividness" experienced by readers.
我相信,阅读单词时所体验到的生动性是由大脑推理中心的不断激活自动调节的,而大脑推理中心是在作者想要表达的现实的过程中使用的。
I believe that the vividness experienced in the reading of words is automatically modulated by the constant activation of the reasoning centers of the brain that are used in the process of concreating the representation of reality the author has intended.
相比之下,电视上描绘的生动的画面有能力引发本能的反应,就像现实本身所引发的反应一样,而且不受逻辑、理性和反思思维的调节。
By contrast, the visceral vividness portrayed on television has the capacity to trigger instinctual responses similar to those triggered by reality itself-and without being modulated by logic, reason, and reflective thought.
与印刷文字传达的现实表现相比,电视媒介对现实的模拟是如此惊人地生动和引人注目,它所代表的不仅仅是人们消费信息方式的一种渐进变化。
The simulation of reality accomplished in the television medium is so astonishingly vivid and compelling compared with the representations of reality conveyed by printed words that it signifies much more than an incremental change in the way people consume information.
当然,书籍也传达了对现实的引人注目和生动的描述。
Books also convey compelling and vivid representations of reality, of course.
但是读者积极地参与到作者试图描绘的现实的魔法中。
But the reader actively participates in the conjuring of the reality the book’s author Is attempting to depict.
此外,人类大脑中对推理过程起核心作用的部分,在阅读印刷文字的过程中不断被激活:单词是由抽象的符号——字母——组成的,在它们被串成可识别的序列之前,它们本身没有内在意义。
Moreover, the parts of the human brain that are central to the reasoning process are continually activated by the very act of reading printed words: Words are composed of abstract symbols-letters-that have no intrinsic meaning themselves until they are strung together into recognizable sequences.
相比之下,电视呈现给观众的是更加完整的现实表现,而不需要文字一直要求的创造性合作。
Television, by contrast, presents to its viewers a much more fully formed representation of reality-without requiring the creative collaboration that words have always demanded.
四、PTE写作SWT例题的解析:
1、首先,一定要强调的是it is important,当一篇文章给到这句话的时候,那么一定是要注意的,都说了很重要,也就是把整个这一篇当中,最重要的东西写下来,To distinguish,去区别the cruel of vividness, 通过Toward television viewers. Or an experience by the leaders, 就是说我们要区别电视和书籍所给出来的真实感的不一样。我们看书是通过想象力,而看电视是直观的,扑面而来的,所以这个也比较符合常识,一定要把它抄下来。
2、To understand the final,要了解最终的原因,News marketplace of ideas dominates by television is so different from one thaterging the world, 那么第一句话只是一个引子,电视给人的感觉不一样,书给人感觉不一样,事实上重点就是引出了这句话对不对?Reader is ultimate blah bla bla bla bla, 那么后面是细节点了。其实就想告诉大家,你一定要区分电视和书的一个区别,也就意味着在抄完主旨句之后,如果你还有字数,那么你可以给到这里。
3、我们画黄线的部分第二段,The stim the s simulation of reality accomplish in television is so astontion vivid and compelling, 讲述是电视厉害的地方。具有强迫性的作用,有灌输性的作用,我能够感受到。而the parts of human brain that are concentral to the reasoning blah blah blah blah very reading, 讲述的是书的感觉。那么电视你能给人一种vivid和compelling的感觉,而书给人一种想象的reasoning process, 大脑当中的一种处理的方式,就是关于书的好处。把这两个点写出来之后就无所谓了。第三段,By country, Present to view a muchmore fully formed representation of reality. 这里面最重要的一趴。
4、首先告诉大家,我们一定要区别电视和书的关系,第2段,电视好在哪里,书好在哪里。第三段稍微啰嗦了一句话,那么把这个抄下来呢,这篇文章我们就解决了。
