英语口语，是考研复试流程中十分重要的一环，也是大多数考研人最薄弱的一环。复试英语的标准流程是什么？考察内容是什么？大家又该怎么准备呢？一战精心整理了复试英语相关事宜，帮你搞透建筑考研复试英语，令你在最短时间内完成准备，轻松上阵！
复试英语考察的关键并不在于英文难度，而在于沟通交流，所以大家不必紧张。
以哈工大复试为例，英语考察内容主要分为两个方面，一方面是对专业知识的考察，主要体现在翻译及问答两大环节，如在翻译环节中提供一段有关于建筑大师或者著名建筑的介绍，让同学们进行限时翻译，这个环节要求大家对专业术语的英文有一定的储备，同时最好可以对相应的建筑大师或者建筑设计有一定的了解，这对大家进行现场翻译有所帮助；另一方面是对非专业知识的考察，主要体现在自我介绍及问答环节，并且这两大环节的内容会有一定的联系，老师可能会根据同学们的自我介绍进行提问，大家在准备时要有所注意。
接下来我们详细介绍一下哈工大复试英语两大考察内容的注意要点及准备方法。
2023
—— 翻译 ——
（1）翻译怎么考
哈工大翻译环节的考试内容是在多段英文翻译中由老师随机选取一篇作为考生的翻译题目，虽然内容随机，但是常考的翻译主题与我们的专业知识息息相关，所以只要经过相应的准备，同学们也可以轻松应对。
（2）翻译主题总结
将哈工大历年英语翻译真题进行总结，可以将其归纳为几大类：
1
建筑作品
The architects designs the main building into a water-filled rectangular concrete volume supported in the air, leaving the ground floor as transparent as possible for the sake of excellent view of the lake. Above the pool on the first floor, there are threeglass boxes. When people taste tea in the glass box, they could see the reflection of the distant sky and landscape from the water pool. At that time, the line between the building and the pool of water blurs.
建筑师将主楼设计成一个充满水的长方形混凝土体，支撑在空中，为了获得良好的湖景，底层尽量留出透明的空间。在一楼的水池上方，有三个玻璃盒，当人们在玻璃盒中品茶时，可以看到水池中远处天空和风景的倒影。天空和风景都是从水池里出来的。那时，建筑物和水池之间的界线变得模糊了。

建筑大师
A woman architect has had a hard time climbing to the top of her field, but one from Baghdad, A woman named Zaha Hadid has miraculously become a member of this men's club. She has achieved so much in the male-dominated construction industry. It was all my years of effort. Zaha Hadid: "I don't know what the next building will look like. I keep trying out media variables, in every design." Reinvent everything. Architectural design is like artistic creation. You don't know what is possible until you actually do it. When you mobilize a set of geometric figures, you can It was felt that a building had begun to move. " The buildings of Zaha Hadi were swept over the city like the wind, and with the strength of the time, Hadad ' s architectural language became more mature and firm, and gradually stepped on to the empty path of the air, so that the entire construction community had a considerable degree of halos.
一位女建筑师很难爬上她的领域的顶峰，但是一位来自巴格达的名叫扎哈·哈迪德的女士奇迹般地成为了这个“男人俱乐部”的成员。她在男性主导的建筑行业取得了巨大成就。这是我多年的努力。扎哈·哈迪德：“我不知道下一栋楼会是什么样子。我不断尝试媒体变量，在每一个设计中，“重塑一切。建筑设计就像艺术创造。在你真正做到之前，你不知道什么是可能的。当你移动一组几何图形时，你可以感觉到一座建筑物已经开始移动了。扎哈的建筑像风一样席卷了整个城市，随着时间的推移，扎哈的建筑语言变得更加成熟和坚定，逐渐走上了空旷的空气之路，使整个建筑界都有了相当程度的光环。

建筑相关专业知识
What is history? Many people think of famous works, special events, etc. But sometimes, a military parade on a certain street can also be history, but you have not witnessed it with your own eyes. History is that everything is new. I'm glad that we don't have to rebuild old things. I think history is everything starting from the beginning. For example, the Prada building is partly new and partly old. It is not a very beautiful or very special old factory, but people will know that it was just a very ordinary building many years ago.
什么是历史？很多人会联想到著名的作品、特殊的事件等，但有时候，某条街上的一次军事阅兵，也可以是历史，只是你没有亲眼目睹它而已。历史就是，一切都是新的。我很高兴我们不用重建老的东西，我认为历史就是一切从新开始。比如Prada大楼，它有一部分是新的，一部分是旧的，它不是一个非常漂亮或者非常特别的旧工厂，但人们会知道它在很多年前只是一幢非常普通的建筑。
I think a school is an environment made up of a space suitable for learning. It begins when a person tells a few people his understanding under a tree, and the teacher doesn't know that he is a teacher. Those who listened to him didn't think they were students. They wanted their children to listen to people like him, so space was built, and the first school was born. The will of the school existed long before the man under the tree, which is why it is best to get the mind back to the beginning, because the beginning of any organizational activity is always its best moment.
我认为学校是一个由适合学习的空间组成的环境。当一个人在树下告诉一些人他的理解，而老师不知道他是一个老师时，就开始了。听他的人不认为他们是学生。他们想让孩子们听他这样的人说话，于是空间得以建立，第一所学校诞生了。学校的意志早在树下的人之前就存在了，这就是为什么最好让头脑回到开始的原因，因为任何组织活动的开始总是最好的时刻。

—— 问答 ——
（1）问答怎么考
其他环节结束后，复试老师会与考生进行提问交流，英语问题一般为一到两个，视回答时间长短而定。
问答考察内容主要分为两方面，一方面是对专业知识考察，难度不会很高，但是与非专业知识问答相比，还是要略难一点，考生需要对专业英语有一定的掌握；另一方面是对非专业知识进行考察，主要分为两种情况：一是根据考生的自我介绍内容进行展开提问，所以自我介绍一定要展示自己熟悉的内容，以防被问住；二是一些基础类的问题提问，可以参考往年真题。

—— 英语专业知识怎么准备 ——
在对翻译及专业知识问答进行归纳总结、研究后，我们发现英语专业知识的考察要点主要是考察大家对于建筑专业名词的英文储备量，即考察大家是否具备阅读外文文献的能力。但是大家也不需要过度担心，虽然对于专业知识的考察具有一定的难度，但是难度也不会特别大，对于专业名词的考察也会相对基础，同学们只要多积累多练习建筑专业基本词汇就可以了。
2023
—— 自我介绍 ——
（1）自我介绍要点
自我介绍需要提前准备好，流利背诵即可。复试老师可能会要求在规定时间内完成，所以我们可以准备一个3分钟自我介绍，然后删减成2分钟和1分钟的版本，以备不时之需。
自我介绍主要包含三个部分：第一部分为开场白+基本信息介绍；第二部分为本科学业情况+个人特点介绍；第三部分为未来规划及读研展望+结束语。
01 第一部分
① 开场白：开场的第一句话是比较重要的，一个好的开场会引起老师的注意，把他们的思绪从上一个复试者身上拉回来。你开口的第一句话，不需要说很复杂的句子，可以是一个很简单的句子。但是一定要铿锵有力，切勿扭扭捏捏，落落大方很重要。
比如开头的自谦，常见的是：
I'm flattered to be here to present myself.
It is really a great honor to have this opportunity for a interview.
开场小技巧
每个学校的复试考生都会有自己的一个编号，你可以在开场介绍时说一下自己的编号，会显得比较正式。比如：
I am glad to be here for this interview. First let me interduce myself. I’m XX, my Number is XX.
② 基本信息介绍：说完开场白，然后就是基本信息介绍了，通常包括家乡、学校、专业等信息。因为这些信息简历上都有，所以简单介绍即可，不必花费太多时间。
I come from XX, a very beautiful/ancient city. My major is architecture in XX University.
I come from XX, the capital of XX Province. I graduated from the architecture department of XX University in July, 2023.
02 第二部分
开篇介绍完毕，就该介绍核心内容了，大致包括介绍本科学业情况以及展示个人特色两大方面。
① 本科学业情况：这一部分主要介绍在校的获奖经历、科研经历、学习收获等内容。
During the past few years, I have worked very hard at my courses, so as to lay a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge. As a result, I have passed all the examinations and achieved excellent academic outcome in major courses. Moreover, I have passed CET-4 and CET-6 with decent scores.
Recalling my four-year college study, diligence and devotion are two key words. Academically, my GPA is 3.8 which ranks second in the grade. I passed CET 6 at the score of 588, and I have won the First Level Scholarship Reward for 3 consecutive years. Under the instruction of my teacher, I published a paper at XX Journal last year, which inspired the genuine academic passion in my heart.
② 展示个人特色：这一部分主要介绍自己的个人能力、阐述自己的性格爱好等等。
I have always enjoyed occupying myself, so I took part in a lot of extra curricular activities and contests, many of which ended up with a prize. Of course there were some contests that didn't go that well, but I learned from those failures as well. What's more, I have attended several social practice, which broadened my horizon and equipped me with practical skills. As a result, I have acquired basic knowledge of my major both in theory and in practice.
I am a patient and diligent man/girl, because I know good things take time and I believe if a person is not born to be intelligent, at least you must make sure you are diligent. That is the key to your further study in the future. I also believe the significance of solitude, without it, a student can not go further in the academic world.
03 第三部分
① 未来规划/读研展望：表达希望有机会能够加入心仪学校学习，谈谈三年的研究生生涯计划，如系统学习专业知识、参与更多实践等等。
If I have the honor to study for a master's degree in xxx University, I'd like to learn something meaningful, something that really solves a problem in reality rather than some abstruse theory that I will never get the chance to apply.
What's more, I'm pretty sure I'd like to know more people, who don't have to be famous, but get original ideas or opinions about life or things. Of course, I will attach great importance to study, hopefully, I can publish a few papers, like a real master.
② 结束语
If I am admitted, I would be very delighted and honored. The above is my self-introduction, thank you.
Dear Professors, it is my great pleasure to be here. (开场白)My name is XX, graduated from Architecture Department of XX University. During my five-year study in the university as an under-graduate student, I have built up a solid foundation of professional knowledge, as well as a rich experience of social activities. (基本信息介绍)
I am a determined person, always willing to achieve higher goals. Whats more, I am good at analysis, with a strong sense of cooperation. All of these led me to the success of passing the first round of the entrance examination to the Masters degree. (本科学业情况)
Personally, I am very humorous and easy-going, enjoying a good relationship among my classmates. In my spare time, I like to read books regarding how to be myself and how to deal with problems. Music and movies are my favorite entertainments. As for my sport interest, I could not deny my greatest interest is football. Playing this game brings me a lot of glory, happiness and passion. (个人特色情况)
All in all, XX University, with a highly qualified faculty and strong academic environment is the university I have long admired. I believe that I am a very qualified applicant for admission into your Master of Architecture and can contribute to the enrichment or diversity of your university. (读研展望)
If I am admitted, I would be very delighted and honored. The above is my self-introduction, thank you. (结束语)
① 模板可以借鉴，但不能照搬。一定要结合自己的实际情况进行润色，以防撞车。
② 要将自己整理好的模板反复咀嚼。对照模板中涉及到的点，预想如果复试老师摘一个点来提问，你是否能够回答的出来。一定不能给自己挖坑，如果回答不上老师的提问，或是某个点你圆不回来，这不仅会影响自己发挥，还会降低老师对你的印象分。
③ 流利＞难度。英语自我介绍考察的就是表达能力，而且老师们其实都心中有数，大家或多或少都参考了模板。所以，如果不能背的滚瓜烂熟，就别背复杂的句型，把自己最拿手的展现给老师就好。

—— 各种场景解决方法 ——
（1）没听清/听懂老师提问
有些时候考生可能没听清或者听懂老师的提问，这是很正常的，如果你遇到这种情况，千万不要慌，微笑着说一声抱歉，麻烦老师再重复一遍就好。但是不要简单地用Pardon？或What？这类不礼貌的词汇来表达，建议请求重复、礼貌反问或者单词解释：
① 请求重复
I’m sorry, I didn’t quite understand/get/catch that, could you repeat it for me, please?
Excuse me. I can't quite follow you. Would you please say it again?
② 礼貌反问
这个方式通常比让老师重复更好，因为老师会在你理解的基础上进行肯定或否定或补充，利于自己快速确定理解定位。
Sorry, I didn’t understand/get/catch the question, could you repeat it in another way?（请考官换一种方式来表达）
Sorry, I didn’t really understand/get/catch what you mean, could you explain the question, please?（请考官解释问题）
That’s rather a difficult question, but I wonder could you give me more information about that.（委婉地请考官解释问题）
③ 单词解释
如果只是不确定提问中某个单词的意思，可以这样问：
Sorry, I didn’t understand/get/catch the word（单词）, could you explain it, please?
Sorry, could you please explain the meaning of the（单词）.
（2）老师重复或者解释后还是没有听懂
可以运用一些句式铺垫一下与问题中关键词相关的内容，然后再转到其他你所熟知的内容。
I’m afraid that I’m not quite familiar with this topic/field/domain, but from my point of view/in my opinion+关键词相关内容…
I can’t really give you an excellent answer, but I guess/perhaps+关键词相关内容…
Sorry, I’ve never thought about that before, but I’ll try my best to answer this question+关键词相关内容…
（3）老师没有理解或者误解你的回答
如果老师没有理解或者误解你的回答，不要慌，重新解释一下即可：
Sorry, maybe you mistaken it, could you give me a chance to explain？
Sorry, I’ll (try to) explain it in a more reasonable/rational way.
Excuse me. I guess I didn’t make myself clear. May I explain further? / May I try to explain myself in another way?
（4）一时语塞或忘词
语塞或忘词实在是一件令人尴尬的事情，为了不影响正常发挥和得分，同时又能争取到思考时间，可以设计用记得的模糊词进行替代，或采用一些填充语句来进行缓冲。如：
In regard to…actually, I ever thought about it…
It’s something like…
As you know…
It goes without saying…
You know…
Well, let me see.
（5）表达过程中出错
口头表达出现错误时，一定不要慌张，因为整个面试过程中一点错误没有也不太可能，重要的是要淡定，及时进行纠正补救。如：
I mean...
That is to say...
In other words...
（6）得到老师们的肯定
如果回答的内容得到了老师们的肯定，要表示感谢，并表达继续努力的决心和态度。不要只知道说Thank you。
Thank you for your encouragement, I will go further to enrich my knowledge.
I appreciate your encouragement, I will make a further exploration in this field/topic.
Your encouragement/appreciation really inspires me, I will make more efforts/try harder to improve myself.
（7）出现冷场情况
有时回答完问题后，会出现冷场情况，复试老师们一语不发，气氛稍显尴尬。遇到这种情况的小伙伴们不必紧张，可以微笑看向老师，在大脑里迅速回放一下所讲内容，再次进行总结。点到即止，千万不要废话连篇的找话讲，如果确实已经回答完毕了，就强调申明已经答完，以提醒老师们进行下一话题。
最后再告诉大家一句“四字秘籍”：自信大方！复试英语并没有我们想象的那么难，一门语言的本质就是交流，轻松、自信的表达一定会给复试老师留下深刻印象。准研究生们要好好准备哦，祝大家顺利上岸，一战成硕！
