主題語境：人與社會(huì) 篇幅：389詞 關(guān)鍵詞：justice， deaf

1 The 30?year?old Tan Ting gestured quickly with both hands to the screen of the mobile phone. Her arms and fingers changed flexibly. Her face showed anxious expressions from time to time. After the other side of the screen also responded with sign language， she said with both hands. The “voice” kept asking， explaining and making suggestions. This is a silent legal consultation. Both the lawyer and the client are deaf.

2 In January， after three years of hard work， Tan Ting finally passed the legal professional qualification examination， becoming the only person among the over 20 million deaf people in China to pass the examination. After the internship， legal help came one after

another. At most， more than 30 people approached Tan Ting for advice a day.

3 In the process of providing help for the deaf， Tan Ting first encountered a “l(fā)anguage barrier”. Tan Ting learned Chinese Sign Language in a special education school， and the order of gestures is the same as that of ordinary speech. Most deaf parties use “natural sign language”， which mainly conveys meaning through gesture changes and facial expressions.

4 At the same time， because she couldnt hear outside voices after she was deaf， Tan Ting seldom spoke anymore. Her vocal cords slowly degraded， which made her use a lot of force for every word she said， and it was also very difficult for her to master the pronunciation correctly. It wasnt until she had a mobile phone that she could practice pronunciation through software that converts speech to text. Through continuous practice， Tan Ting has basically mastered “natural sign language”， and more and more

people can understand Tan Tings pronunciation. Now she can use sign language to complete legal consulting work independently， and she can also assist the hearing lawyer to understand the case of the deaf client and cooperate with the litigation （訴訟） work.

5 At present， Tan Ting mainly conducts law popularization activities through offline lectures and online live broadcasts. In Tan Tings view， it is far from enough to rely on one or two people in order to better help the deaf to speak up and help the deaf group participate in social life on an equal footing. It needs support from all aspects and a large number of talents in public legal services.

語言學(xué)習(xí)

Ⅰ. 語料薈萃

Ⅱ. 語句分析

1. At the same time， because she couldnt hear outside voices after she was deaf， Tan Ting seldom spoke anymore. Her vocal cords slowly degraded， which made her use a lot of force for every word she said， and it was also very difficult for her to master the pronunciation correctly. 同時(shí)，由于耳聾后聽不到外界的聲音，譚婷很少說話。她的聲帶也慢慢退化，這使得她說每一個(gè)字都要用很大的力量，也很難正確掌握發(fā)音。

【點(diǎn)石成金】because引導(dǎo)的是原因狀語從句，which引導(dǎo)的是非限制性定語從句，she said是限制性定語從句，and it was...correctly和前面的句子一起構(gòu)成并列句。

2. It wasnt until she had a mobile phone that she could practice pronunciation through software that converts speech to text. 直到有了手機(jī)，她才可以通過將語音轉(zhuǎn)換成文本的軟件來練習(xí)發(fā)音。

【點(diǎn)石成金】本句是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是時(shí)間狀語從句not until she had a mobile phone。
