现在一提到“情怀”这个词,大家似乎都有点抵触了。没错,商家们总是用情怀来忽悠我们买这买那,比如老罗,比如乔布斯。但是这也说明“情怀”本身真的是一种很好的营销手段,屡试不爽。那么怎么在口语换题季中勾起考官的怀旧情绪,征服考官呢?今天教你一招,而且还是一石二鸟(to kill two birds with one stone)的妙招。
9月份的口语新题库中有这样两道题:
A: 童年的玩具
B: 想与朋友分享的电影
能不能把这两个话题用同一个故事攻克? 小case,我们来讲一个关于“童年玩具的电影”---《Toy Story 玩具总动员》。
其实《玩具总动员》刚刚播出了第四部完结篇,作为第一部纯3D的动画电影,在我们这些80后的心中它占据着神圣的地位。那我们怎么来组织口语思路呢?就从两个主人公,胡迪(Woody)和巴斯光年(Buzz Lightyear)入手。
我们首先来描述一下Woody的外貌,Woody还是很威风的,牛仔的装备一应俱全,拉一下绳子还能说话。
Woody is a western-themed cowboy rag-doll with a pull-string; also with a yellow long-sleeved shirt, red scarf, cowhide vest, tight jeans, brown hat and boots with spurs, belt buckle, and a gun holster around his waist.
Woody就是这些玩具的CEO,管理着一群员工,没事还给他们开个小会,发号施令一下。
We see Woody as basically the CEO of the bedroom. Everyone has their job and he is comfortable in his spot as the leader. They even have a little staff meeting.
Buzz让Andy超级兴奋,他就是一个太空游侠,有着宇航服,头盔和闪闪亮的按钮。
Suddenly Buzz comes along and just like any kid would do Andy is super excited.
Buzz is a Space Ranger-astronaut with a white and green spacesuit, clear plastic helmet, and many flashy, advanced buttons and gadgets. "To infinity and beyond!" is his favorite line.
Buzz几乎完全取代了Woody,成了新宠。
Not only does Buzz steals Woody‘s thunder,he also changes Woody’s world totally. The posters are gone, the old west town cardboard is gone and a spaceship has replaced it and finally Woody’s spot is now a Buzz comforter and sheets. At least for that moment Woody has been replaced.
Woody的内心被羡慕和嫉妒所占据,他嫉妒Buzz所拥有的一切,因为那些东西原本是属于他的。
Woody then experiences two of the most deadly sins but we can all relate too- envy and jealousy. He’s envious of what Buzz has that appeals to Andy and the other toys and he is jealous of all that Buzz has taken away from him.
Woody 产生了很多负面情绪,而我们面对相似情况的时候也会这样。
He handles these emotions sometimes being angry, sarcastic, sad, and depressed but it is always a response that at least I relate too when I’ve been faced with similar situations.
