MONDAY
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English dotcom.
这里是bbclearningenglish.com英语六分钟节目。
Rob: Hello I’m Rob – a Gemini. Welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m joined today by Neil.
大家好，我是双子座的罗伯。欢迎收听英语六分钟。今天参加主持的还有尼尔
Neil: Hi Rob. I’m a Virgo. So, whatdoes that say aboutmy personality? That’s thegroup of thoughts, feelings andbehaviours which make youwho you are. Itmeans I am supposed to be independent and observant!
你好，罗伯，我是处女座。所以这个星座表示我有什么样的个性呢？星座决定着你的思维、情感和行动模式。而处女座则意味着我是一个独立而且观察力敏锐的人
Rob: Really? OK, observant – in other words, quick atnoticing things. Well, as aGemini, I’m supposedto be witty and adaptable!
真的吗？Observant，换句话说，就是能够对感知到的事情快速的做出反应。而作为一个双子座，我的性格应该是比较机智，而且适应能力强。
Neil: I think that’s true. You are adaptable, Rob. You getusedto new things and situations very easily, I think.
我觉得这个很准。罗伯，你的适应能力确实强。我觉得你非常容易适应新鲜事物和新环境
Rob:Well, these characteristics we’ve mentioned arebased on what astrologers say. And astrology is today’stheme.
我们刚才提到的这些星座性特征，都是以占星学家们所说的为基础的。今天我们的话题就是占星学。
Neil: A strologers arepeople who say they can find out aboutyour personality, andmaybe your future, by analysing theposition ofstars andplanets the day you were born.
占星学家自称，通过分析你出生那天恒星和行星的位置，他们能够判断出你的性格，甚至是你的未来。
Rob: It’s controversial. Many astronomers – the scientists whostudy the stars andplanets – don’tbelieve it’s true, butsome well-known people believe it’s avery serious business. AndI’ll put aquestion toyou aboutthat.
这种说法存在争议性。许多天文学家，也就是研究恒星和行星的科学家，并不相信占星学。但是一些著名的人却相信这是一个非常严肃的事情。关于这个事情，我要考考你。
TUESDAY
Neil:People born under the sign of Virgo are said to be very precise. Hmm, I’m not so sure about that… But I’d better make sure everything I say today is very accurate so I fit the description!
处女座的人据说一丝不苟。嗯……对这一点我并不确定……但是为了符合这个说法，我最好确保今天所说的十分准确！
Rob: OK. Let’ssee if you can answer this question accurately. Which of these famous people were publicly criticized when it came to lightthatthey reliedtoo much on horoscopes to take decisions? Was it: a) Margaret Thatcher b) Nancy Reagan or c) Michael Jackson
好的。让我们来看看你能否准确地回答这个问题。以下几位名人当中，哪位被发现做决定时过于相信占星术而饱受诟病？是a) 玛格丽特·撒切尔b) 南希·里根 还是 c) 迈克尔·杰克逊？
Neil: I think… I can remember this. I think it’s Nancy Reagan, b.
我觉得……我应该记得这个。我觉得是南希·里根，b。
Rob: OK. Are you sure?
好的，你确定吗？
Neil: I am.
确定。
Rob: OK. Well, you’ll have to be patient because you won’t get the answer until the end of the programme.
好的。你要有耐心，因为直到节目快结束的时候你才能知道答案。
Neil: Now, let me readmy horoscope for today…
现在让我看一下我今天的星座运势……
Rob: Oh, you and your horoscopes, honestly, Neil! Do you know when newspapers andmagazinesstartedto offer horoscopes to their readers?
哦，你和你的星座运势，说实在的，尼尔！你知道报纸和杂志什么时候开始为它们的读者刊登星座运势的吗？
Neil: No, I don’t.
我不知道。
Rob: Well, let’s hear from Nicholas Campion, who teaches the cultural history of astrology atthe University of Wales. Whatdoes he have to say aboutit? Campion, a Pisces, uses one particular word when he describes how people feel abouttheir place in the universe. Which word is it?
那好吧，让我们听听在威尔士大学星象学文化史的尼古拉斯·坎皮恩老师是怎么说的。坎皮恩是双鱼座，他用一个特殊的单词来描述了人们是怎样感知自己在宇宙中的位置的。是哪个词呢？
Virgo：处女座。
horoscopes：占星术；星座。
astrology：占星术；占星学；星座。
WEDNESDAY
Rob:The newspaper horoscope was invented about 1930. There’sa parallel betweenwhatwashappening inastronomy atthe time. In the late 20s, theidea thattheuniverse is huge and expanding was discovered andpopularised by theastronomer Edwin Hubble. This became a metaphor for the idea that we live on theedge of a distant corner of theuniverse andwe areall very insignificant. At the same time we suddenly getthese horoscope columns appearing which I see as akind of domestication of astrology.
报纸上的星座运势大约是1930年发明的。这与当时天文学中的一项进展同步了。20年代末，爱德文·哈勃发现并普及了大尺度宇宙的新概念及膨胀学说。这就使人们产生了我们居住在宇宙边缘，因此我们微不足道的感觉。然而，同一时间，这些星座运势的专栏突然出现了，在我看来这是星象学的一种通俗化。
Neil:Insignificant! It means of very little importance. He says that’show people felt when astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered how huge theuniverse is…
Insignificant意思是无关紧要的。他说当天文学家发现宇宙之大后人们感觉自己是这样的…
Rob:And this academic thinks astrology triedto bring this idea under control; it domesticated it. It brought it to our personal level, and made it all about routine, everyday events.
这位学者说，星象学想要控制这种想法，将其通俗化。也就是说把它下降到个人层面，与日常事务相关。
Neil:How interesting. It makes us think thatthe stars are all about us. Astrology tells us thatthe stars are all about me! I wantto read my horoscope now!
真有趣。它让我们认为星体都是与我们息息相关的。星象学告诉我们所有的天体都是与我相关！现在我想看我的星象了！
Rob:Well, before you do that, you have to listen to what another specialist, this timea psychologist, has to say. Paul Rogers, a Sagittarius, teaches atthe University of Central Lancashire, in the north of England.
在那之前，你需要听一听另一位专家，这次是一位心理学家，是怎么说的。保罗·罗杰斯，射手座，英国北方中央兰开夏大学的教师。
THURSDAY
Neil: A Sagittarius – he might be independent likeme. Yes, go ahead!
射手座，他可能和我一样独立。好的，继续！
Rob: OK. Well, he mightspoil the fun you’re having with your newspaper. Here he is:
好，但是他可能会打消你对你的报纸的兴致。具体是这样的：
People are misperceiving these generalisedstatements as being uniqueto their own personality.There isother counter biassays thepeople fall prey to, for example, the confirmation bias. If you believe in something, you’ll look for evidence to support that belief and you’ll ignore evidence that rejects that belief.
人们被这些对性格概括性的表述所误导。人们深受一些其他反偏见的影响，例如证实性偏见。如果你相信某个观点，你就会寻找一些支持这个信念的证据，而忽视那些不支持这个信念的证据。
Neil: He talks about belief! Something which you think istrue without much proof. He says that people who think horoscopes are true do so because the predictions seem to confirm whatthey already think about themselves.
他谈到了信念！信念是指没有太多证据时，你就相信的观点。他说人们相信占星学是因为其预言看起来是肯定了他们以前对自己的认知。
Rob: Yes, people look for evidence – an indication thatsomething they believe is true. But it’s all in their mind andnot in the stars themselves. People believe whatthey wantto believe. They need some sense of control over life.
是的，人们寻找证据，是寻找能够说明自己观点是正确的迹象。但这都是他们心中所想，而不在于客观事实。人们相信他们愿意相信的事物。他们需要有对自己全部生活的掌控感。
Neil: You know what? This is true. Believe in horoscopes or not, it’s very comforting to have this sense of direction in life.
你知道吗？这是真的。不管是否相信星象，生活中有一种方向感令人感到满足。
Rob: Everything seemsso unpredictable! Here’s something predictable: our quiz. Let’s go back to it andsee if you gotthe question right. I asked you which of these famous people were publicly criticised when itcame to light that they relied too much on horoscopes. Was it Margaret Thatcher, Nancy Reagan or Michael Jackson?
所有的事情似乎都无法预测！但是这里有一件事是可以的，是我们今天的问题。让我们回到我们今天的问题，看看你是否选择了正确答案。我问你的问题是：以下几位名人当中，哪位被发现太过于相信占星术之后受到了公众的谴责？是玛格丽特·撒切尔，南希·里根，还是迈克尔·杰克逊。
Friday
Neil: I said Nancy Reagan.
我说是南希·里根。
Rob: And you were right. Nancy Reagan, wife of the late president Ronald Reagan, has long been interested in astrology. In 1988, she was criticised and ridiculed when itwas revealed thatshe had consulted astrologers during her time at the White House.
你说对了。南希·里根，美国前总统罗纳德·里根的夫人，一直对星象学感兴趣。1988年，她在白宫期间咨询占星家的事情被揭露之后，受到了人们的批评和嘲讽。
Neil: I knew I was right because I’m always accurate!
我就知道我回答对了，我一向来回答很准！
Rob: Of course. Well done! Right, well, before we go, could you remind us of some of the English words we’ve heardtoday?

听写方法推荐
众所周知，听写是练习精听最好的方法。很多同学不知道怎么听写。下面简单介绍一下我听写时的方法。
第一步：完整的听一遍所有内容，对听写内容有大概的了解，并且抓住了一些核心词汇，为等一下的听写初步减轻难度。
第二步：以每个单句或意群为单位，一句一句的听，暂停后写。比如4.11听写内容中hang on a minute，听到这里可以点击暂停并写下这句。
第三步：边听边写。如果听完却没有写完，也没有记住漏掉的单词，那么返回去重听，补充漏掉的词。
第四步：如果一句话反复听了五遍还是没有听出来一些单词，做好标记，放弃。继续听下面。
第五步：如此下来一篇听完了。完成今天的任务了么？不！千万不要丢掉极其重要的一步：校对！
有两个方面要校对：
1.没有听出来的意群：可能包括连读或者省音,分析错误的原因并做笔记。
2.没有听出来或听错的单词:每篇校对后写在听写笔记下面并罗列,这些才是你每天的进步之基。
