托福聽力信號詞大全

信號詞是聯接上下語篇的單詞或者短語，起到了連貫作用。信號詞在手，還怕找不到重點?不是手到擒來嗎~

主旨

一般出現在講座的開頭，例如：

Last time, we talked about ...

Today, we will be discussing ...

We’ve been talking about ...

Today, let’s discuss ...

Continuing ...

Today, we will ...

但是要注意有些時候在點明主題之前會提到別的信息，只要記住“today”后的才是重點就行了，千萬不要被誤導了!

舉例

在托福聽力中，教授也會舉例進行說明。在說明事物或事理時，舉出一些準確恰當，有代表性的例子，就能化抽象為具體，化繁為簡，把事理淺顯化，通俗易懂。

例子一定要好好聽，需要記下來，但是例子只是用來論證觀點，使觀點更充分的，因此觀點才是考點，態度轉變?？?

for instance

such as

Namely

as an example

take example for

Say

Consider

Take

Let us look at

Think of ...

It is just like ...

例：Roman pottery for example, it was typically glazed so it’s very shiny, easy to see against the soil. But, pottery of the early middle ages was brown or grey and it wasn’t glazed, so you’d have trouble spotting it at an excavation. It’s kind of camouflaged against the soil. So it’s easy to draw the wrong conclusions about population size based on the available evidence.

例子中提到了pottery的例子，對比了羅馬時期和中世紀早期的pottery的區別，例證的提示詞用到的是“for example”。

解釋

下定義也是講座中常見的內容，被定義的概念是講座的關鍵內容，需要做筆記!

what I mean is

All that means is

which is / that is

in other words

...is referred to as

...is named/known/called

對比

對于對比信號詞，考生除了注意比較級和Z高 級之外，還要多注意對比和類比。

記好口訣：對比聽不同的地方，類比聽相同的地方。

We should not confuse A and B

A is different from B

compare to

Contrast

Unlike

similar to

in contrast to

differently

例：Graphene is the strongest material ever made. Its strength is due to its perfect crystal and atomic structure, which looks like chicken wire under a microscope actually.You could compare graphene to diamond because they’re both made of carbon atoms that are arranged in a simple and regular pattern.But unlike diamond, graphene is incredibly flexible akin to plastic wrap.And because of its atomic structure, graphene is also an outstanding heat conductor.Electrons speed through this material much faster than they can through other materials.

石墨烯是有史以來Z堅固的材料。它的堅固是由于它完美的晶體和原子結構，在顯微鏡下看起來像鐵絲網。在介紹石墨烯的時候通過類比鉆石來進一步說明了它的柔韌性和導電性。

轉折

轉折是對前文的否定，轉折后面出現的信息往往更需要關注，即教授較終想要強調的點，也是考點出現的地方。

通過先陳述一部分事實或者拋出一個問題，再來一個轉折信號詞，從而提出真正的觀點。

But

However

Nevertheless

While

Yet

Unless

except for

Actually

in fact

to tell you the truth

例：But there’s another challenge, the industrial production of graphene sheets.The adhesive tape method is good for producing small samples for research purposes but we need a reliable way to mass produce graphene in large sheets so it can be sold to companies that manufacture transistors for example.
