  词汇对于新托福听力是否取得高分关系还是不小的。不过,有些托福听力词汇相对来讲是比较难的,那就是习语词汇。所以,天道小编专门为托福听力备考生们带来了以下文章,一起来看!

  1.break new ground 创新、突破的意思

  His architectural design broke new ground in the field. (他的建筑设计是这个领域里的创新。)

  2.do the trick 做成功;达到理想的结果

  ——Here, I believe this one in the back will do the trick. (这里,我相信后面按这个键,可以让炉子燃起来。)

  例:

  ——How’s Bob coming along on his dissertation proposal? (Bob的论文计划进展地怎么样了?)

  ——He’s really been dragging his feet. (他很磨蹭的。)

  例如:一个百货公司的雇员正在罢工,要求增加工资。这个公司的经理说:

  The union is dragging its feet on agreeing to a settlement. They think the company is getting desperate to get people back to work because Christmas is coming and that's our busiest time of year.

  工会拖拖拉拉地不肯就解决方案达成协议。他们认为,公司一定会迫不及待地要雇员回去工作,因为圣诞节快来了,这是我们一年最忙的时候。

  4.draw the line 拒绝,拒不容忍

  ——Paul expects me to clean the room every week.(Paul想让我每周打扫房间。)

  ——That’s where I draw the line.(可是我不会答应的。)

  例如:Where do you draw the line between open discussion of project expectations, including the failure or perceived failure of initial project goals, and potentially disastrous opinion-making?

  5.feel down in the dumbrs 心情不好;情绪低落

  ——Kate was really feeling down in the dumbrs about her latest chemistry assignment.

  (Kate为最近的化学作业成绩感到很沮丧。)

  I burned midnight oil yesterday. So I feel down in the dumbrs today.

  如果他们确实感到抑郁,他们也更倾向于向普通科医师而不是家人求助。

  6.few and far between 不多;少而分散的;不常碰到或发现的;稀少的

  ——Steve is really a terrific guy. (Steve真是不简单。)
