主题课文 · 久坐的代价

The Price of Sitting Still
原创课文,narrator 是一名公共卫生研究生,分析办公室久坐问题。C1 难度,名词化密集——第 3 章逐个拆。

课文 · The Price of Sitting Still

(可参看「名词化与正式文体」深化页)
The modern office, designed for efficiency, may in fact be eroding our health. Prolonged sitting, researchers have found, contributes to a cascade of problems: reduced circulation, weakened muscles, and a steady decline in mental sharpness. It is essential that employers recognise this, yet the demand for longer hours continues unabated. The implementation of simple measures—standing desks, mandatory breaks, the encouragement of walking meetings—could make a substantial difference. What concerns specialists most is not the immediate discomfort but the chronic stress that accumulates over years. Resilience, they argue, is built not through heroic endurance but through the prevention of burnout before it begins. It is advisable that organisations offer regular health checks; equally, the acceptance of imperfection at work may matter more than any ergonomic chair.
为效率而设计的现代办公室,实际上可能正在侵蚀我们的健康。研究人员发现,长时间久坐会导致一连串问题:循环减缓、肌肉萎缩、思维敏锐度持续下降。雇主必须认识到这一点,但对更长工时的需求仍有增无减。实施一些简单措施——升降桌、强制休息、鼓励步行会议——就能带来实质性改变。最让专家担忧的不是即时的不适,而是经年累月积累的慢性压力。他们主张,韧性不是靠英雄式忍耐建立的,而是靠在倦怠开始之前就加以预防。建议企业定期提供健康检查;同样,在工作中接纳不完美,可能比任何人体工学椅都重要。
本课核心词:prolonged, circulation, chronic, resilience, burnout, ergonomic, mandatory, accumulate, prevention, unabated

课文精讲 · C1 怎么把句子写学术

论为什么这段课文是名词化正式文体教材

口语写法(动词为主):Sitting for long hours hurts our health. Employers should recognise this.

C1 正式写法(名词为主):Prolonged sitting contributes to problems. It is essential that employers recognise this.

升级点 1 — 动词名词化:reduce → the reduction;implement → the implementation;prevent → the prevention。把动作变成抽象名词,句子立刻学术化。

升级点 2 — It is + 形容词 + that (should):It is essential/advisable that organisations (should) offer checks。从句用动词原形(should 可省)。

考试怎么考:Part 4:We must reduce stress → It is essential that stress (should) be reduced;To implement changes is hard → The implementation of changes is hard。

记
这一章要记住的 5 个搭配

① prolonged sitting 长时间久坐

② chronic stress 慢性压力

③ prevent burnout 预防倦怠

④ the implementation of measures 措施的实施

⑤ It is advisable that ... 建议…

02

词汇延展 · 身心与韧性词族

Body, Mind & Resilience
C1 写健康不能只用 sick / tired / doctor。要把亚健康、慢性、韧性、倦怠四组学术词配齐。Part 3 爱考 strong→strength, prevent→prevention。

四组词族

健康主题词族(C1 高频)
组核心词搭配/备注
亚健康sedentary, prolonged, circulation, posture, fatigue, sharpnessa sedentary lifestyle 久坐生活方式
慢性与疾病chronic, acute, immune, syndrome, therapy, diagnosischronic stress 慢性压力
心理韧性resilience, burnout, wellbeing, endurance, mindfulnessbuild resilience 建立韧性
词族转换strong→strength; prevent→prevention; reduce→reduction; fit→fitnessPart 3 直接考词性
高频陷阱

① healthy vs healthful:healthy = 健康的;healthful = 有益健康的(美式常用)。

② sensible vs sensitive:sensible = 明智的;sensitive = 敏感的。

③ raise/rise:raise vt.(raise awareness);rise vi.(stress rises)。

④ affect/effect:affect vt. / effect n.。

03

语法延展 · 名词化与正式文体

Nominalisation & Formal Style
C1 正式文体的标志是少用动词、多用抽象名词(nominalisation),以及 It is + 形容词 + that (should) 虚拟建议句。这是 Writing Part 2 Report 的拿分关键。

It is + 过去分词 + thatIt is said/believed/argued that...It is argued that sitting is harmful.
最高频陷阱

① It is essential that 后用动词原形:It is essential that employers act(原形,should 可省)。

② 名词化不要过度:一整篇全是 -tion 会显得臃肿。

③ It is argued that 后接陈述,不虚拟:It is argued that sitting is harmful。

考试怎么考:Part 4:We should reduce stress → It is essential that stress (should) be reduced。

我们是否同意…优先?/我同意,但…不更有效吗?/权衡…与…
考点:Report 必须用名词化与 It is...that 正式句,Part 3 用协商句。

场景对话 · 口语 Part 3(公司健康方案协商)

Examiner: Here are some ways to improve staff wellbeing. Discuss how effective each would be, and choose two. Student A: Options are: standing desks, free fruit, mindfulness sessions, shorter Fridays. I take your point about free fruit, but would not mindfulness be more effective, since stress—not diet—is the real issue? Student B: I am not so sure. The implementation of mindfulness sessions requires training; shorter Fridays are simpler and immediately reduce burnout. What shall we agree on? Student A: Good point. Let us prioritise shorter Fridays and standing desks—both need no specialist training. Mindfulness, though ideal, can wait. Student B: Agreed. It is advisable that we start with measures whose effect is immediate.
考官:这里有几个改善员工健康的方案。讨论各自效果,选两个。/A:选项有:升降桌、免费水果、正念课程、缩短周五工时。我同意免费水果,但正念不更有效吗?因为真正的问题是压力,不是饮食。/B:我不太确定。正念课程的实施需要培训;缩短周五更简单,能立刻减少倦怠。我们定哪个?/A:有道理。优先缩短周五和升降桌——两者都不需要专业培训。正念虽理想,可以缓一缓。/B:同意。建议我们从见效快的措施开始。
得分点:① 协商句(Shall we agree / Let us weigh)齐全;② 名词化(The implementation of mindfulness)与 It is advisable that 正式句;③ 明确达成两项——Part 3 必须有 conclusion。
