2021年12月英語六級真題聽力第一套Conversation 2原文
當(dāng)提及六級聽力時，尤其是英語六級真題聽力，我們不禁會想起那些考驗英語學(xué)習(xí)者聽力理解能力的挑戰(zhàn)。作為英語六級考試的重要組成部分，六級聽力部分不僅要求考生能夠捕捉和識別出基本的語言信息，更需要他們在有限的時間內(nèi)對復(fù)雜的語境進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確理解，并快速作出反應(yīng)。小編為大家整理了2021年12月英語六級真題聽力第一套Conversation 2的內(nèi)容，希望能對您有所幫助！

Welcome to this week's episode of Book Talk.
歡迎收聽本周的《讀書時間》。
With me today is Heidi Brown, a historian who has written five critically acclaimed books about military history.
今天我的嘉賓是海蒂·布朗，她是一位歷史學(xué)家，已經(jīng)撰寫了五本廣受好評的軍事歷史書籍。
Thanks for having me, John. I'm so excited to talk about my latest book, which was published last month.
謝謝你邀請我，約翰。我很高興能談?wù)勎疑蟼€月出版的最新作品。
So, this book is a novel? Your first attempt at that genre, and that's a bit of a departure for you.
所以，這本書是一部小說嗎？這是你第一次嘗試這種體裁，對你來說算是一個轉(zhuǎn)變。
I'd say it's a major departure, as if not just a work of fiction, it's set 200 years in the future. Right? So, how did that happen?
我想說這是一個重大的轉(zhuǎn)變，因為這不僅是一部虛構(gòu)作品，它的背景還設(shè)定在未來200年。對吧？那么這究竟是怎么發(fā)生的呢？
You spent three decades writing about the past and focusing on the 18th and 19th centuries, and now you're speculating about the future.
你花了三十年時間研究過去，專注于18世紀(jì)和19世紀(jì)，現(xiàn)在你卻開始推測未來了。
Well, after years of researching soldiers and chronicling their lives during battle, I just started wondering about other faces of their lives, especially their personal lives.
嗯，在多年研究士兵和記錄他們在戰(zhàn)斗中的生活后，我開始好奇他們生活的其他方面，尤其是他們的個人生活。
I can see that your novel is about soldiers, but it focuses on their relationships, especially the bonds between sons and mothers, and men and their wives.
我能看出你的小說是關(guān)于士兵的，但它聚焦于他們的關(guān)系，特別是母子之間的紐帶，以及男人和妻子之間的關(guān)系。
Yes, that focus came about when I still intended to write another book of history. I started by researching soldiers' actual personal lives, studying their letters home.
是的，這個焦點是在我原本打算再寫一本歷史書籍時出現(xiàn)的。我最初是研究士兵的真實個人生活，研究他們寄回家的信件。
So, how did that history book become a novel?
那么，這本歷史書籍是如何變成小說的呢？
Well, I realized that the historical record was incomplete, so I'd either have to leave a lot of gaps or make a lot more assumptions than a historian should.
嗯，我意識到歷史記錄是不完整的，所以我要么得留下很多空白，要么得做出比歷史學(xué)家應(yīng)該做的更多的假設(shè)。
But why write a novel set in the future when your credentials are perfect for a historical novel? As a historian, any historical novel you write would have a lot of credibility.
但為什么你要寫一部設(shè)定在未來的小說呢？你的資歷明明更適合寫歷史小說。作為歷史學(xué)家，你寫的任何歷史小說都會很有可信度。
I felt too constrained working with the past, like what I wrote needed to be fact as opposed to fiction. But writing about the future gave me more freedom to imagine, to invent.
我覺得研究過去太受限制了，就像我寫的東西必須是事實，而不是虛構(gòu)的。但寫未來給了我更多的想象空間，讓我可以創(chuàng)造。
Well, having read your book, I'm glad you made that choice to move into fiction.
嗯，讀過你的書之后，我很高興你選擇了轉(zhuǎn)向虛構(gòu)文學(xué)。
