喜欢美剧《生活大爆炸》的雅思考生们,肯定对Pictionary这个游戏不陌生。当年谢耳朵简直把同伙Lenard折磨的要死要活,他穷尽毕生的想象力也猜不到谢耳朵到底想要画些什么…… 我们完全可以用这样的素材,把故事移到自己身上,就说自己的partner跟谢耳朵是一个套路,完全走抽象派风格,完全猜不出画的是个啥。
那下面需要想的情节就是到底自己的partner画的是什么了,这里一定要挑好说的讲,不要太复杂,不然是给自己挖坑,下面是个比较推荐的思路,供大家参考:
Well, this topic reminds me of the time I played Pictionary with some of my friends the other day. Our theme was to guess the names of pop songs in China. Sadly, my partner is an abstract painter, when it was my turn to guess, he drew something like this. (此时你可以把它画在板子上,然后用笔边指着边解释,显得多么的真实和自然啊~) A circle and an arrow pointing to a heart. I was completely confused. I had no idea what that means, ‘cause my guess was that the circle might be a pancake or something, and the heart could mean that a feeling of like or fancy, probably? But I couldn’t think of any song that has something to do with ‘I want pancakes’ or things like that. I used up all of my imagination, I mean, I racked my brains trying to think of a proper answer but I just couldn’t. So I gave up. In the end, my partner told me, the right answer was the song Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin which means The Moon Represents My Heart in English. It’s a love song ‘cause we Chinese believe that the moon is really romantic and it shows how much a person loves another person. Anyway, he explained, the circle he drew stands for the moon and the arrow means the verb represent. I said, if you want to show me a moon, you should draw something like a half circle with a curve, like this one. (再次画给他看) Right? That could make things much easier for me.
So that was the time when I had to use my imagination.
这个答案比较推荐是因为不太会用到生词,所有的描述性词汇大家都比较熟悉,所以比较好搞。如果想照搬谢耳朵的创作倒也不是不可以(例如他在画polish指甲油的提示词时,画出了居里夫人什么的……),不过万一雅思考官也是《生活大爆炸》的忠实粉丝,可能就比较尴尬了……
