雅思口语考试：如何描述一个人?

斯嘉丽

Scarlett

出处：《飘》(Gone with the Wind)

作者：玛格丽特·米切尔 (Margaret Mitchell)

Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.

那斯嘉丽·奥哈拉小姐长得并不美，可是极富于魅力，男人见了她，往往要着迷，就像塔尔顿家那一对双胞胎兄弟似的。

But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw.

可是质地虽然不调和，她那一张脸蛋儿却实在迷人得很，下巴颏儿尖尖的，牙床骨儿方方的。

Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends.

她的眼珠子是一味的淡绿色，不杂一丝儿的茶褐，周围竖着一圈儿粗黑的睫毛，眼角微微有点翘。

Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin - that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.

上面斜竖着两撇墨黑的蛾眉，在她那木兰花一般白的皮肤上，划出两条异常惹眼的斜线。就是她那一身皮肤，也正是南方女人最最喜爱的，谁要长着这样的皮肤，就要拿帽子、面罩、手套之类当心保护着，舍不得让佐治亚那大热的太阳晒黑。

达西

Darcy

出处：《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice)

作者：简·奥斯汀 (Jane Austen)

His friend Mr Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year.

他的朋友达西先生立刻引起全场的注意，因为他身材魁伟，眉清目秀，举止高贵，于是他进场不到五分钟，大家都纷纷传说他每年有一万磅的收入。

The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr Bingley.

男宾们都称赞他一表人才，女宾们都说他比彬格莱先生俊美得多。

And he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased.

人们差不多有半个晚上都带着爱慕的目光看着他。最后人们才发现他为人骄傲，看不起人，巴结不上他，因此对他起了厌恶的感觉，他那众望所归的极盛一时的场面才黯然失色。

罗切斯特

Rochester

出处：《简·爱》(Jane Eyre)

作者：夏洛蒂·勃朗特 (Charlotte Bronte)

His figure was enveloped in a riding cloak, fur collared and steel clasped; its details were not apparent, but I traced the general points of middle height and considerable breadth of chest.

他身上裹着骑手披风，戴着皮毛领，系着钢扣子。他的脸部看不大清楚，但我依稀辨认得出，他大体中等身材，胸膛很宽。

He had a dark face, with stern features and a heavy brow; his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted just now; he was past youth, but had not reached middle-age; perhaps he might be thirty-five.

他的脸庞黝黑，面容严厉、眉毛浓密;他的眼睛和紧锁的双眉看上去刚才遭到了挫折、并且愤怒过。他青春已逝，但未届中年，大约三十五岁。

于连

Julien

出处：《红与黑》(The Red and the Black)

作者：司汤达 (Stendhal)

He was a lad eighteen or nineteen years of age, small in stature, with irregular but delicate features, and of a constitution apparently weakly.

他是个十八、九岁的瘦小青年，看起来羸弱，面部的轮廓也不大周正，但颇为清秀。

His nose was aquiline; and his large black eyes, which in quiet moments showed thought and vivacity, were ablaze now with the fiercest hatred.

还有一个鹰勾鼻子。一双大而黑的眼睛，静时显露出沉思和热情。此刻却闪烁着最凶恶的憎恨的表情。

His dark brown hair, growing very low on his forehead, gave him a narrow brow, that in moments of anger looked positively wicked.

深褐色的头发长得很低，盖住了大半个额头，发怒的时候凶相毕露。

His face would hardly be remarked among the infinite variety of human countenances by any feature particularly striking.

他的容貌并不出众，在芸芸众生中并不会引人注目。

His slight, well-proportioned figure gave evidence more of agility than of strength.

他的身材修长而匀称，更多地显示出敏捷而非力量。

雅思口语真题及回答范文分享

Describe a journey you would like to go on by car, motorbike or bike.

You should say:

where you would like to go;

how you would like to go there;

who you would like to go with;

and explain why you would like to go there by car, motorbike or bike.

解析：

题目要求描述一次你乘坐小汽车、骑摩托车或者骑自行车旅行的经历。要求论述时间、地点和形式等细节信息，还需要解释一下你为什么去那里选择这种交通工具。

Well, I would like to go Las Vegas. The city is around 125 kilometres away from my town, Bullhead City in Arizona. So if I could go there, I think by car is a second-to-none choice. Las Vega is mostly famous for the colourful nightlife. This is a resort town located in the Mojave Desert in Nevada. The town has some specialties and during the night times, it looks best. The entire city is well decorated and illuminated. The most amazing feature of the city is the musical fountain. It is synchronised with music. Besides, the Strip is also another attractive issue at the town. The replicas like Eiffel Tower; Egyptian Pyramids etc. are also some adorable things here.

I am a student at Everest College and having an undergrad course in economics. I have a group of six members in the college. We love to be together always like having a group study, moving for a theatre, joining at any ceremony and more. Sometimes we make some short trips in some less distant areas. Now we are planning to have a trip in Las Vegas. Though I went there for several times with my dad to meet my uncle who owns a small pub there, I did not have the chance to move on my own. Dad always was with me lest I get into any bar or pub and have a drink. In fact, my parents are conservative in some aspects.

I would like to go there by car because it is a long journey. Las Vegas is around 125 kilometres away from my home. Moving such a distance alone is not preferable for me. Go there with your good friends will be much better. If I become a victim of an accident, there is none to look after me on the highway to Vegas. Even there are some risks to move alone in the city until you are matured enough to protect yourself from any sudden invasion. Considering all the issues, I have decided to make the trip with my friends. Moreover, it would be great fun for us. A wonderful sightseeing journey! All of us have visited the town but we lack the experience to stay at night there. So, I am going there on the car that will be driven by David.

Describe a time you were not allowed to use your mobile phone.

You should say:

when and where it was;

why you were not allowed to use your phone;

what you wanted to use your phone for;

and explain how you felt about not being able to use your phone.

解析：

题目要求描述你不被允许用手机的时刻，这种时刻可以时某个重要的场合，比如考试，开会等等。题目中的问题要素都要一一作答。

Last Monday, I went to visit a famous grand museum that is located in the center of the city. The administrator said that we are not allowed to use our mobile phones and cameras during the visit because taking photographs of exhibitions are not allowed. I obeyed the rules, handed in my mobile phone and other personal stuff and enjoyed the visit. Suddenly, it occurred to me that I didn’t tell my mom that I would be late for home and I took the only keys of my home. She possibly couldn’t get into the rooms if she came home earlier than me. Then I couldn’t focus on my visit. I wanted to use my mobile phone to call her. But the workers in the museum told me that they could only return our mobile phones after the visit is over, otherwise they will shoulder the responsibility of any loss of visitors’ stuff. I was worried and restless all the time during the following visit.

This is the first time that I wanted to use my phone so much. I felt a great sense of unease and danger if I lost the contacts by mobile phones. The most key point is we are in the era of science and technology. Mobile phones have become the most common product that most people have access to. It has become a normal habit that whenever you wanna use it, you can use it. If you can’t, it seems that you’re deprived of some basic need. We often say that we rely too much on our electronic devices, but I have to say they are really helpful in all sorts of emergencies.
