托福TPO/Official 6 Task 4口语原文独立/综合口语题目答案解析-范文音频翻译-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：现在听一段教育课的部分内容。

Narrator: Now listen to part of the talk in an Education class.

教授：教学中最困难的部分之一就是保持学生的注意力。

Professor: One of the hardest parts of teaching is keeping your students' attention.

这样做的关键是理解注意力的概念。

Now the key to doing this is understanding the concept of attention.

Basically, there are two types of attention.

当你故意让自己专注于某件事的时候，

It's when you intentionally make yourself focus on something,

要保持很长一段时间是很难的。

好，假设你在教授生物课，今天的主题是青蛙，对吧？

OK, so let's say you're teaching a biology class and today's topic is frogs. All right?

You're standing at the front of the room and lecturing,

“青蛙是一种被称为两栖动物的动物”。

"a frog is a type of animal known as an amphibian".

这并不一定会保持学生们的兴趣，

this isn't necessarily going to keep the students' interest,

但是他们中的大多数会强迫自己去关注你的演讲。

but most of them will force themselves to pay active attention to your lecture.

But it's only a matter of time before they get distracted.

另一种注意力是被动的注意力，它是无意识的关注。

Now the other type of attention is passive attention when it's involuntary.

被动的注意力不需要努力，因为它是自然发生的。

Passive attention requires no effort because it happens naturally.

学生们不必强迫自己去关注它。

students don't have to force themselves to pay attention to it.

They do it without even thinking about it.

你开始谈论青蛙，然后你把一只活青蛙从你的公文包里拽出来。

you start talking about frogs and then you pull a live frog out of your briefcase.

当你拿着它的时候，你在描述它，

You're describing it while you hold it up,

例如，向学生展示他们的腿有多长，以及这些腿是如何被用来跳跃的。

show the students how long its legs are and how they're used for jumping, for example.

也许你甚至让青蛙在桌子或地板上跳来跳去。

Then maybe you even let the frog jump around a bit on the desk or the floor.

你可以利用他们被动的注意力，而且它能持续的时间比积极的注意力要长得多。

you can tap into their passive attention and it can last much longer than active attention.
