描述城市的托福口语

托福口语话题常见题目如你最想去的地方，你所在城市的景点，想跟朋友一起去的地方。那么下面和小编来看看这篇描述城市的托福口语，一定会有收获。

描述城市的托福口语

一、“宜居城市”

Vancouver, the Canadian host city of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, remains the most livable city in the world, as it did in 2008.

2010年冬奥会的举办城市加拿大温哥华被选为全球最适宜居住的城市，这是该市在2008年之后再次当选最宜居城市。

在上面的报道中，livable city就是“宜居城市”，也就是适宜居住的城市。判别一个城市是否适宜居住有多项标准，包括stability， healthcare，culture，environment，education，infrastructure(稳定性、医疗保健、文化、环境、教育、基础建设)等。 “最适宜居住城市”是通过livability survey(宜居性调查)得出的。

Livable的意思是“适于居住的”，例如：slums that are barely livable(不堪居住的贫民窟)。此外，livable还可以表示“(人)容易相处的，(行为)可接受的”或“(生活)过得去的”。例如：Such behavior is not livable with.(这种行为无法容忍。)

二、“一线城市”

China's overall property price will climb 3.3 percent to 6 percent this year, with the first-tier cities experiencing an adjustment in the fourth quarter, China Real Estate Index said in a report over the weekend.

上周末中国房地产指数研究机构在一份报告中称，今年中国的房价总体上会有3.3%到6%的增长，一线城市的房价会在第四季度进行一次调整。

在上面的报道中，first-tier city就是“一线城市”。一线城市是指对本国的经济和政治具有重要作用的大都市。在城市规模、基建、财政收入、消费、对人才吸引力等各层面，一线城市一般均领先于其他城市。中国目前被普遍公认的一线城市是北京、上海、广州、深圳。相应地，“二线城市”即second-tier city，一般指除了北京、上海、杭州、广州、深圳、天津以外别的一些大中城市、有一些名气的城市。

据分析，去年房产价格的疯长和credit expansion(信用扩张)有关。由于高房价，许多原来期望在first-tier city发展的年轻人不得不转战second-tier city和third-tier city(三线城市)。许多不甘离开梦想之地的人或成为mortgage slave(房奴)，或成为ant tribe(蚁族)。另外，一线城市的高消费水平也迫使许多人成为moonlight clan(月光族)。想结婚而又无力买房的人只能选择naked wedding(裸婚)。

三、“友好城市”

The capital cities of China and Mexico became sister cities on Monday after visiting Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong and Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard signed an agreement on establishing such ties.

周一，在墨西哥访问的北京市市长郭金龙和墨西哥城市长马塞洛•埃布拉德签订协议，中墨两国首都确立了友好城市的关系。

在上面的报道中，sister city就是“友好城市”的意思，也可以翻译成“姐妹城市”，西方国家有时还称之为twin city。友好城市指的是将地域上或政治上无关的城镇或城市配对起来，以期达到增加居民或文化交流的目的。友好城市之间时常会互相提供exchange student(交换学生)，以及经济或文化上的交流或合作。

和sister city相似的用法还有sister school(姐妹校)，sister ship(姐妹船，同型船)，sister company(姊妹公司)等。Sister除了有“姐妹”的意思，还可以指“护士”或“修女，女教友”。例如：the night sister(夜班护士);a Christian sister(基督教女教友)。

四、“主办城市”

Shanghai, the host city of Expo 2010, will offer a glimpse of a greener future, Achim Steiner, Under Secretary General of the United Nations, said Tuesday.

联合国副秘书长阿希姆•斯泰纳本周二表示，2010年世博会主办城市上海将呈现给世人一个更加绿色的未来。

在上面的报道中，host city就是指“主办城市”，而与之相应的主办国就被称为host country，也就是“东道国”。在成为host city之前，会有很多candidate city(候选城市)参加申办。在此次评估中，UNEP(联合国环境规划署)对上海进行了air quality(空气质量), transportation(交通), solid waste(固体废物), and public participation(公众参与)等九个方面进行了评估。
