英语四级听力备考：必考习语(16)

　　39、paper

　　论文。学期结束，学生难免会要被要求完成几篇papers。

　　How much time did you have for writing the paper?　你写论文花了多少时间?

　　Whats the teachers comment on the students paper?老师怎么评价这个学生的论文?

　　Are you sure you have corrected all the typing errors in this paper?

　　你确信论文中所有打印错误都更改了吗?

　　试卷。期中考试有mid-term paper，期末有term paper。因此，如果提到The paper was not as easy as we hope. 就是考试卷子没有想象得那么容易之意了。

　　书面。与paper test 书面考试相对的就是oral test。固定搭配on paper也即表示以书面形式。

　　平装。a paper back book / paperback edition平装书，与hard back book / hard cover精装书相对。听力中会出现的情形是，在促销期间，平装书和精装书一样的价格，这个时候大家当然会更愿意选择精装书了。

　　Do you have the paperback edition of this dictionary? 　这本字典有平装版吗?

　　资讯报纸。来源于newspaper。在日常用语中，直接用paper指代资讯报纸。

　　Im calling about the three-bedroom house you advertised in yesterdays paper.

　　The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six hours a day.

　　Id like to place an advertisement for a used car in this Sunday edition of your paper.

　　一般的纸张。该词最基本的意思。

　　I am looking for quality paper to type my essay.　我在找高质量的纸来打印论文。
