近期，听力成为了大家7炸8炸路上的拦路虎。通过分析他们平时的复习情况以及考场上的反馈，我们不难发现，大部分的同学在Retell Lecture这个题型上存在着这样或那样的问题，更有些同学对于Retell Lecture这个题型甚至是无比抗拒的。

在平时练习中，很多人都不知道应该如何练习Retell Lecture或者如何利用手头上数量有限的机经原文。因此在真实考试中，在Retell Lecture的答题过程中，当听了整个文章后，因为对这个题型的抗拒以及平时练习的不足，这个部分总是答得不够好，最后影响到听力的部分。

今天我们一篇近期的Early Robot新题来为大家介绍一下Retell Lecture应该怎样准备，怎样答题。

首先，我们必须要为大家强调一点：

有机经固然好，机经是最好的官方练习题，但是机经只能锦上添花，却不能雪中送炭。我们应该通过对机经进行练习来提高我们自身的水平和能力，而不是死记硬背机经中的回忆。

下面，让我们通过听力原文来剖析一下Early Robot这道Retell Lecture：

This is a kind of object that you’re probably all familiar with when you had the term robot, but I’m gonna show you the very,very first robots. These were the very first robots. They were characters in a play in the 1920s called Rossum’s Universal Robots and the play was written by Czech writer called Karel Capek. And basically, these robots, you know, people tend to think of robots as kind of cut cuddly toys or, you know, Hollywood depictions kind of devoid of politics. But the first robots were actually created and imagined in a time of absolute political turmoil. You just had the First World War, you know, it finished had a devastating impact across Europe and so people will kind and people are kind of reflecting on what does it mean to be human, what makes ushuman, those kinds of question. And this kind of context is what inspired Capek to kind of write this play. And interestingly, these robots being human, they are actually in the play assembled on a production line, a bit like the Ford manufacturing production line. So even though they are human, they are assembled and these robots are designed to labor, and that is their primary in society.

听完全文，我们可以将这篇文章分为以下几层：

第一层：蓝色部分

第一部分主要描述了整篇文章所描述的主体－the first robots

因此，在答这道题的时候，我们的第一句话可以是：

In this lecture, the speaker talks about the first robots.

第二层：绿色部分

第二部分主要描述了最早的机器人是做为戏剧的角色出现的。一般被认为是可亲近的玩具或是好莱坞叙述其在政治上毫无兴趣的方式。的这里大家可以注意一下，具体戏剧的名称，以及后面作者的名称是无需出现在Retell Lecture的答案中的。在听语音的过程中，大家也千万不要因为这里可能存在的生词而忽视了对全文的理解。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

Firstly, he mentions that robots firstly appeared as characters in aplay, which were regarded as toys or depiction of devoid of politics.

第三层：橙色部分

第三部分主要讲述了机器人其实是创造于政治动乱的时期，使人们开始思考 做为人的意义，以及是什么让我们成为人。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

After that, he talks about that robots were created during political turmoil,and made people to reflect what does it mean to be human, what makes us human.

第四层：紫色部分

第四部分主要讲述了因此戏剧被创造出来 。并且成为了重要的劳动力。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

Following that, he introduces that plays were made.

In conclusion, robots were nowbecome the primary labor of the society.
