The most important factor affecting the performance of listening is one's volume of vacabulary. It is not difficult to understand that when a word like thwart rather than beat appears in the news, those who have learned the word have no difficulty in grasping what the news is about while those who haven't, more often than not, have not the slightest clue of the meaning.

To translate, first you should know what the original text exactly is talking about; after this you try to re-express the ideas in another language.Even at best you will encounter some content intranslatable. In this case, some techniques of translation are neccessary,for example, how to deal with extension of meaning,etc.本回答被提问者采纳
