托福听力长难句分析(九)

 托福听力考试当中的长难句是理解的一大障碍，本期新通教育听力老师韩梦子为同学们分享托福听力长难句讲解，希望能给同学们的长难句分析带来帮助。

同学们在学习的过程中，最头疼的就是句子的理解，尤其是长难句。但是相对于阅读文本来说，听力的问题其实是比较简答的，我们在理解句子的时候基本只要考划分句子的主干成分，配合一些短语搭配就可以了，但是关键是要求我们的反应速度要非常的快，我们现在就具体以TPO中的句子为例，来分析一下长难句。(TPO2-L1)

And like other behaviorists, he believed that psychologists should study only the behaviors they can observe and measure.

和其他的行为主义者一样，他认为心理学家应该之研究能看见能测量的行为。这句话中要注意定语从句。

While a person could describe his thoughts, no one else can see or hear them to verify the accuracy of his report.

虽然一个人能够描述他的行为，但是没有人能够看见或者去证实他所说的正确性。

What Watson did was to observe muscular habits because he viewed them as a manifestation of thinking.

Watson所做的是观察肌肉运动规律，因为他爸这些看成是思考的体现。

He argued that for very young children, thinking is really talking out loud to oneself because they talk out loud even if they’re not trying to communicate with someone in particular.

他认为对于很小孩来说，思考就是大声地跟自己说话，因为小孩即便是自言自语时声音也很大。

As the individual matures, that overt talking to oneself becomes covert talking to oneself, but thinking still shows up as a laryngeal habit.

当小孩长大后，大声的自言自语变成的悄悄的自言自语，但是思考时喉部肌肉依然是活动的。

One of the bits of evidence that supports this is that when people are trying to solve a problem, they, um, typically have increased muscular activity in the throat region.

这么说的理由之一是，当人们要解决一个问题时，他们的喉部肌肉运动增加。

That is, if you put electrodes on the throat and measure muscle potential—muscle activity—you discover that when people are thinking, like if they’re diligently trying to solve a problem, that there is muscular activity in the throat region.

也就是说，如果你将惦记紧贴喉部来测量肌肉间肌肉活动，你会发现当人们思考的时候，也就是当他们在试图解决问题的时候，喉部的肌肉是在活动的。

Watson made the argument that problem solving, or thinking, can be defined as a set of behaviors—a set of responses—and in this case the response he observed was the throat activity.

Watson提出一个观点：解决问题或思考问题可以定义为一系列的活动，而在这个案例中他观察到的反应是喉部运动。

Uh, he did indeed, um, and to jump ahead, what one finds in deaf individuals who use sign language when they’re given problems of various kinds, they have muscular changes in their hands when they are trying to solve a problem . . . muscle changes in the hand, just like the muscular changes going on in the throat region for speaking individuals.

他确实研究过，我先说两句吧，我们发现当用手语交流的聋哑人面临需要解决问题时，他们用手部肌肉的活动来解决问题，手部肌肉在变化，就好像健全人的喉部肌肉在活动一样。
