PTE写作SWT题型的解题思路是什么

各位正在准备PTE考试的同学们，今天羊驼带来的是PTE写作SWT题型的例题讲解：Australia-US Alliance，这道题讲的会稍微有点绕。文章分成了三个段落，在这三个段落当中，一般每一段应该会有一个总起或者总结。除非我完全确定一段中没有任何我想要的，不然的话每一段都要去找一找。

一、PTE写作SWT例题的原文：

Some "moments" seem more important in hindsight than they were at the time. David Day, for example, looks at John Curtin's famous "Australia looks to America" statement of December 1941, a moment remembered as embodying a fundamental shift in Australia's strategic alliance away from Britain towards the US.

As Day points out, the shift to the US as our primary ally was a long, drawn-out process which occurred over half a century. There are many other important events which our contributors examine - the campaign to save the Franklin River; the landings at Gallipoli, the discovery of gold in 185 1, the disastrous Premiers' Plan designed to cope with the Great Depression, to name just a few. Taken together, our contributors show that narrative approaches to Australian history are not as simple as might be imagined.

There is of course the issue of what should be included and what should not be - what, after all, makes a moment or an event sufficiently important to be included in an official narrative? Just as importantly, the moments and events that are included in narrative histories are open to multiple interpretations. We hope this collection will provide an important reminder to those wanting to impose a universal history curriculum for our school children, and indeed a lesson to all Australians wishing to understand their nation's past; History is never simple or straight forward, and it always resists attempts to make it so.

二、PTE写作SWT例题的答案：

The issue of what makes a moment or an event sufficiently important to be included in an official narrative open to multiple interpretations because some moments seem more important in hindsight than they were at the time and the narrative approaches to Australian history are not as simple as imagined, which should be a significant reminder to those wanting to impose a universal history curriculum for school children. (68 words)

三、PTE写作SWT例题的翻译：

有些“时刻”事后看来比当时更重要。

Some "moments" seem more important in hindsight than they were at the time. 

例如，戴维?戴(David Day)研究了约翰?科廷(John Curtin)在1941年12月发表的著名言论“澳大利亚向美国寻求帮助”(Australia look to America)，人们记住，这一时刻体现了澳大利亚战略联盟从英国向美国的根本转变。

 David Day, for example, looks at John Curtin's famous "Australia looks to America" statement of December 1941, a moment remembered as embodying a fundamental shift in Australia's strategic alliance away from Britain towards the US.

正如戴伊所指出的，向美国转变为我们的主要盟友是一个漫长而漫长的过程，持续了半个多世纪。

As Day points out, the shift to the US as our primary ally was a long, drawn-out process which occurred over half a century. 

我们的撰稿人还考察了许多其他重要事件——拯救富兰克林河的运动; 

There are many other important events which our contributors examine - the campaign to save the Franklin River; 

加里波利的登陆，1851年发现黄金，为应对大萧条而制定的灾难性的总理计划，等等。 

the landings at Gallipoli, the discovery of gold in 185 1, the disastrous Premiers' Plan designed to cope with the Great Depression, to name just a few. 

综上所述，我们的撰稿人表明，澳大利亚历史的叙事方法并不像想象的那么简单。

 Taken together, our contributors show that narrative approaches to Australian history are not as simple as might be imagined.

当然，有一个问题是什么应该被包括在内，什么不应该被包括在内——毕竟，是什么让一个时刻或一个事件足够重要，以至于被包括在官方叙述中?

There is of course the issue of what should be included and what should not be - what, after all, makes a moment or an event sufficiently important to be included in an official narrative? 

同样重要的是，包含在叙事历史中的时刻和事件可以有多种解释。 

Just as importantly, the moments and events that are included in narrative histories are open to multiple interpretations. 

我们希望这些收藏能给那些想要给我们的学生强加一门通用历史课程的人一个重要的提醒，并给所有希望了解他们国家过去的澳大利亚人上一课; 

We hope this collection will provide an important reminder to those wanting to impose a universal history curriculum for our school children, and indeed a lesson to all Australians wishing to understand their nation's past; 

历史从来都不是简单或直截了当的，而且它总是抵制这样的企图。 

History is never simple or straight forward, and it always resists attempts to make it so.

四、PTE写作SWT例题的解析：

第一部分：难词积累

Alliance表示是联盟，题目讲的是澳大利亚和美国的联盟；hinsight表示是后见之明，也就是后来我所了解到的，事后诸葛的；sufficiently足够的，它是一个副词的形式，注意这种LY结尾往往是副词；reminder，提醒，remind是提醒你干什么事情，Reminder表示的是它的名词形式；Impose作为动词表示是实施，有种强加感觉；Attempts，我们看它加了一个S的复数，那么知道这个地方它是做一个名词的词性，它表示的是尝试。

第二部分：原文解析

1、some moments seems more important in hinsight than they were at the time，就是有些东西事后看起来可能比当时会更加的重要一些。For example, 就是它对于前面的这个更为重要的这个概念进行了举例说明，所以后面的举例的东西，我甚至都可以不用看了，就从前面的这个地方重要和事后这两个概念，要把它给带出来。

2、第二段taken together, 也就是综上所述。Our contributions show that, 撰稿人认为澳大利史的叙述方式并没有想象中那么简单。你看一个是taken together, 还有一个是show，这两个点是不是都表明了，后面这个信息一定是重要的。There is of course, 说到当然，那么这也是强调的一个概念。

3、你可以根据你的情况，如果你的目标分相对来说比较高，那么可以把第三段整合一下，加入美国这个单词；但是，目标分只有70分以下的话，美国不要，剩余的去抄好，照样也能拿到至少内容分的一分。所以我的建议是，语法不是特别好的同学就不要去做太多的删减，你甚至可以保留our contributor show that，内容分我们不用苛责自己去拿到满分。最后一个部分we hope this collection will provide, 作为全文的接近结尾的时候，作者说我们希望如何如何，那这一句话也相对来说是比较重要的。

第三部分：答案解析

整个这道题又是一个在SWT当中没有明显逻辑的，那我们就把一些重要的信息，把这些单词整合出来，然后给出一个大概5~75个字的答案，在我这里就完全OK。所以有的题目看不懂没关系，只要把一些信号词给抓取出来，这就是这种题目的处理办法。
