你好，林赛。

Hello, Lindsey.

你怎么样？

How are you?

很好，奥布里。

Good, Aubrey.

你今天怎么样？

How are you today?

非常好。

Excellent.

我今天很期待和你聊聊这个。

I am excited to chat about this today.

我们收到了一个很棒的问题

We got an amazing question

是的

Yes.

我觉得你们很多听众会对这里的答案非常感兴趣

That I have a feeling a lot of you listening will be really interested in the answer here.

好的

Okay.

我迫不及待想深入探讨了

I can't wait to get into it.

Aubrey，我有个问题想在节目开始时提一下

Aubrey, I do have a question to start off the episode.

好的

All right.

说说看

Let's hear it.

你在大学或研究生院的时候，有没有遇到过特别不友好的教授？

So did you ever have a really unfriendly professor when you were in college or graduate school maybe?

有。

Yes.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得我遇到的不友好的教授比友好的教授还多。

I feel like I had more unfriendly professors than friendly professors.

有意思。

Interesting.

我能想到一两位比较友好的教授，但其他人都非常严肃。

I can think of a couple that were pretty friendly and everyone else was very serious.

这挺棘手的。

And it's tricky.

想想那些不友好的教授，确实是很严肃的。

It's interesting to think about unfriendly, like definitely serious.

他们并不是想和我们做朋友。

They were not trying to be our friends.

严肃的学者。

Serious academics.

是的。

Yeah.

你上大学时有上过课吗？

Did you have any classes in college?

像那种大型讲座教室？

Like huge lecture halls?

好的。

Okay.

有的。

Yes.

有一些。

Some of them.

对吧？

Right?

比如生物101。

Like Bio 101.

哦，有几门课就是几百人一起上课，教室特别大。

Oh, There were a few where it was just like hundreds and huge lecture halls.

是的。

Yeah.

那些课从来都不怎么友好，但我认为是因为人数太多，很难变得友好。

And those were never very friendly, but I think because it was such a big groom, it would be hard to be friendly.

是的， probably。

Yeah, probably.

这可能更多与课程结构和规模有关，对吧？

That probably has to do more with the nature of the class structure and the size, right?

是的。

Yeah.

班级越小越好，但我也有过一些小班，那里的人也不友好。

The smaller the class, the better that was, but I also had some small classes where they were also not friendly.

真的吗？

Really?

哦，天哪。

Oh, no.

好吧。

Okay.

非常严肃，毫不马虎。

Was just super serious and no nonsense.

我的天啊。

My gosh.

奥布里，这和雅思有什么关系？

Aubrey, how is this related to IELTS?

我们在这里需要知道什么？

What do we need to know here?

是的，我们收到了一个关于考官的好问题，想知道你是否应该尝试与他们建立联系，以及该对他们说什么。

Yeah, so we got a great question about the examiner and if you should try to connect with them, what you should say to them.

所以我们打算读一下这个问题，并与你们分享。

So we're going to read this question and share this with you.

我认为在考试前了解这些信息会对你们非常有帮助。

I think it's going to be so helpful for you to have this information before your test day.

好的，我来读一下这个问题。

All right, I'm going to read the question.

我们开始吧。

Here we go.

这是来自中国的陈托马斯的提问。

This is from Thomas Chen from China.

谢谢你的提问。

So thank you for your questions.

顺便说一下，各位，如果你们有好的问题，可以发送到 support@allersenglish.com。

By the way, guys, if you have a good question, send it to support@allersenglish.com.

是的。

So Yes.

这是问题。

Here's the question.

我有一个关于雅思口语的问题。

I have a question about IELTS speaking.

我知道我们不允许和考官闲聊，考官也不被允许和我们闲聊。

I know that we're not allowed to chat with the examiner, nor is the examiner allowed to chat with us.

那么在考试期间，我们该如何与考官建立联系呢？

So how can we build connections with the examiner during the exam?

你建议使用哪些语言来表达我们希望与考官建立联系的意愿？

What language do you suggest that can show our willingness to connect with the examiner?

我知道建立联系是你们的强项，我期待听到你们的建议。

I know building connection is where you guys excel, and I do expect to hear what advice you have to offer.

非常感谢你们制作了这么多精彩的节目。

Thank you so much for so many amazing episodes.

哇，这真的很有意思。

Wow, this is really interesting.

确实很有趣，我觉得如果你正在准备雅思考试，而且之前从未考虑过这一点，你会感谢托马斯提出了这个问题。

It is interesting, and I have a feeling if you're preparing for IELTS and you haven't thought about it before, you're grateful to Thomas for asking the questions.

你可能觉得这是个好问题。

You're probably thinking that is a good question.

我本该想到这一点的。

And I maybe should have thought of that.

所以我非常兴奋要和你们分享这一点，因为这也非常重要。

So I'm so excited to share this with you because this also is important.

这可能会影响你的分数。

It could affect your score.

这对考官来说也很棘手。

And this is tricky for examiners.

所以你提前越多了解如何对待考官、如何表现，对考官和你来说都会越轻松。

So the more you know in advance about how to treat them, how to act, the easier it is for both the examiner and you.

是的，这正是我们在All Ears English中讨论的内容与针对雅思考试的建议产生分歧的地方，奥布里。

Yeah, and this is where what we talk about in Allergic English kind of veers from our advice when it comes to the IELTS exam, Aubrey.

所以请大家耐心一下。

So bear with us, guys.

但事实是这样的。

But here's the truth.

对吧？

Right?

在All Ears English，我们始终强调连接。

We're all about connection at All Ears English.

当然，建立连接能让你的生活更快乐。

Of course, connection is the way you get to have a happier life.

对吧？

Right?

这正是我们说英语时想要实现的目标。

That's what we're trying to do when we speak English.

然而，雅思考官是这个规则的例外，对吧？

However, the IELTS examiner is an exception to this, right?

没错，对吧？

Exactly, right?

你试图用英语与那些你可能进行对话、甚至建立关系的人建立联系。

You are trying to connect with people that you could have a conversation, maybe a relationship with in English.

但考官的情况不一样。

That is not the case with the examiner.

你不应该和他们建立关系，他们也不应该和你建立关系。

You're not supposed to have a relationship with them and they're not supposed to have one with you.

他们被严格要求不能与你建立任何关系或表现出友好，否则他们可能会被指控不公正，或者我可能会被指控

They're very strictly told to create no kind of relationship or friendliness between you because then they could be accused of being impartial or I could be accused of being

偏颇，这可能会危及他们作为考官的职业生涯。

mean, it could threaten their own career as an examiner.

这可能会使你的成绩无效。

It couldn't invalidate your scores.

比如，想象一下，如果你们当中有人试图与对方建立融洽关系，结果你表现得非常好，对方想给你八分，但这种情况可能会引发很多问题。

Like, imagine if it seems like one of you is trying to build a rapport with the other, and then you did a great job and they wanted to give you an eight, but it looks like they, you know, it could lead to a lot of problems.

对吧？

Right?

所以，这并不是那种关系的目的。

So that's not what that's not the point of that relationship.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Right.

所以请坚持到结尾，因为我们即将演示雅思口语考试开始时会发生什么，考官会说什么，你应该怎么回答。

So stay to the end because we are going to share a role play of what happens when your IELTS speaking exam starts, What they are going to say, what you should say.

但我们会深入一些细节，确保一切非常清晰。

But we're going to dive into some details to make sure it's very clear.

首先，你知道为什么吗？

First of all, you know, why?

为什么你不应该试图与考官建立联系？

Why should you not try to connect with the examiner?

这里有几个不同的原因。

There are a few different reasons here.

是的，那我们来详细说说吧，奥布里。

Yeah, well let's go into it, Aubrey.

我们需要什么，对。

What do we need Yeah.

要

To

是的，首先，考官被明确告知在考试开始前不要与你闲聊。

Yeah, so first of all, they are explicitly told not to chat with you before the exam starts.

他们不被允许这样做。

They are not allowed.

不仅仅是不友好。

Not just being unfriendly.

他们不只是赶时间。

They're not just in a hurry.

他们不能和你聊天。

They cannot chat with you.

他们不能对你说话。

They cannot say anything to you.

是的。

Yep.

是的。

Yep.

所以你会看到一个人只是在那里待着。

So you're going to see someone just kind of being there.

这可能会非常不自然，对吧？

It might be very unnatural, right?

对我们人类来说，这确实不自然。

And that's unnatural to us as human beings.

通常我们会尝试，尤其是要保持小

Normally we try Especially to make small

你是个非常友好的人。

you're a very friendly person.

是的。

Yeah.

如果你说一些友好的话，或者试图和他们交谈、开启对话，这实际上会增加尴尬，因为他们无法友好地回应或回话。

If you say anything friendly or try to talk to them, try to start a conversation, this actually will increase the awkwardness because they can't be friendly back and chat back.

所以，你知道，不去回应一个试图和你聊天的人，反而更难。

So it's, you know, it's harder not to engage with someone who is trying to chat with you.

所以这实际上只会加剧尴尬。

So that will actually just increase the awkwardness.

所以我们接下来要做的是，当他们问我们问题时，我们只回答问题，不多说别的。

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna answer their questions when they ask us, and we're not gonna say anything more.

我们不需要多说，我们只想专注于回答测试中的问题，对吧？

We don't need to we wanna focus on our answers to the questions on the tests, right?

没错。

Exactly.

他们会向你打招呼，自我介绍，询问你的姓名和身份证号，并询问你希望被如何称呼。

They will greet you, they will introduce themselves and ask for your name and ID, and they will ask how you would like to be addressed.

你可能有一个昵称或者不同的名字可用。

You may have a nickname or a different name that's there.

所以你可以提供你的名字、昵称，或者像我可以说‘卡特夫人’，如果我更喜欢这样称呼的话。

So you can give your first name, a nickname or something like I could say Mrs.

如果我更喜欢这样称呼的话。

Carter if I prefer that.

你知道，考试时也是如此。

And you know the same is true during your exam.

考官被要求在考试期间不要以任何方式做出反应，以免透露你回答得如何，对吧？

Examiners are instructed not to react during your exam in any way that would indicate how well you answered, right?

所以你不能向他们提问，或试图在回答雅思问题之外与他们互动。

So you can't ask them questions or try to interact with them outside of just answering the IELTS questions.

所以你的意思是，如果你给出了一个非常棒的答案，你自己也知道这是个好答案，但别指望考官会表现出钦佩的样子。

So you're saying if you give a really great answer, something you know is a great answer, don't expect the examiner to look impressed.

对吧？

Right?

不对。

No.

没错。

Right.

别指望他们会表现出钦佩的样子。

Don't expect them to look impressed.

或者如果你开了个玩笑，也别指望他们会笑。

Or if you make a joke, don't expect them to laugh.

他们可能会笑，但实际上不应该这样。

They might, but they're actually not supposed to.

他们根本不应该有任何反应。

They're not supposed to react at all.

而且如果你试图讲笑话，而对方没有笑，只是呆呆地盯着你，可能会很尴尬。

And that if you try to make jokes, then it might be awkward if they are not laughing or just stare back

看着你。

at you.

是的。

Yeah.

这可能会让你分心。

It might throw you off.

你不想失去专注力，对吧？

You don't wanna lose your focus, right?

所以你要明白这段对话的目的是什么，对吧？

So just understand what this relationship is for, right?

这不过是生命中几分钟的时间，目标是拿到分数，证明你的流利度，对吧？

This is a few minutes out of your life, and the goal is to get the score, prove your fluency, right?

还有你的连贯性以及其他口语考试的各个方面，好吗？

And your coherence and all the other aspects of the speaking test, okay?

没错。

Exactly.

如果你能预见到这一点，提前做好心理准备，知道对方可能不会主动和你聊天，那就会轻松很多。

And if you can anticipate this, if you're expecting this for them to give you no response really for them to not chat with you before, it makes it so much easier.

你知道该期待什么，知道该如何应对，这样就不会被打乱节奏。

You know what to expect, you know how to act, and none of this will throw you off.

当然。

For sure.

我喜欢这个说法。

I love it.

非常好。

Really good.

你有没有过从会议中走出来后，想着‘我本可以说得更好’？

Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking, I could have said that better.

你什么都听懂了，但你的回应却简短、模糊，或者没有达到你原本想表达的效果。

You understood everything, but your response came out short or unclear or not quite like you.

也许你的想法很有见地，但你的英语还未能体现出来。

Maybe your ideas are strong but your English doesn't show it yet.

你会忘记那些你明明知道的单词。

You forget words you know.

你无法自然流畅地表达，快速的对话让你只能默默追赶。

You can't explain things naturally and fast conversations leave you quietly catching up.

这种差距可能令人沮丧，但它非常具体，也完全可以弥补。

That gap can be frustrating, but it's also very specific and very fixable.

我们的两分钟流利度测试能帮助你了解这种差距所在，以及你的水平是B1、B2还是C1。

Our two minute fluency quiz helps you understand where that gap is and whether your level is b one, b two, or c one.

当你清楚自己的水平后，进步会感觉更轻松、更快。

When you know your level, progress feels lighter and faster.

现在就前往 allearsenglish.com/fluencyscore 参加测试，离用你思考的方式说英语更近一步。

Take the quiz now at allearsenglish.com/fluencyscore and move closer to speaking English the way you think.

再强调一次，去 allearsenglish.com/fluencyscore。

One more time, go to allearsenglish.com/fluencyscore.

好的，奥布里。

Okay, Aubrey.

那么，有没有例外呢？我是说，这种情况有没有例外？

So are there I mean, is are there any exceptions to this?

我的意思是，

I mean,

其实有一些挺有趣的小细节。

are there Well, small it's things interesting.

当然，当你回答他们的问题时，可以说一些小而友好的话。

You there are, you know, of course, small friendly things you can say when answering their questions.

比如，当他们要你的身份证时，不要只是默默递过去，你可以说：‘是的，给你。’

For example, when they ask for your ID, instead of silently handing it over, you can say, yes, here you go.

是的。

Yeah.

对吧？

Right?

当有人向你要身份证时，说这句话是一种友好的做法。

That's just a friendly thing to say when someone asks you for ID.

你当然也可以默默递过去。

You certainly can silently hand it over.

这样做不会扣分。

You will not be docked for that.

他们目前还没有在评分，但如果你觉得想表现得友好一些，可以说这句话。

They're not scoring you yet, but that's a friendly thing that you could say if you feel like I want to just be friendly here.

对。

Right.

这不会提高你的分数，但它可能帮你从心理上热身。

It's not going to increase your score, but what it could do is it could warm you up mentally.

我的意思是，当我用一种新语言参加考试时，我想先热一热身，让自己适应一下。

I mean, me, when I speak in a different If I'm taking an exam in a new language, I want to kind of warm up my I want to warm up.

我想在回答第一个问题之前，对这门语言感到自信，对吧？

I want to feel confident in that language moving into before I get the first question, right?

所以，这可以是一种热身的方式。

So, that could be a way to warm up.

是的，对吧？

Yeah, right?

哪怕只是能说几句话也好。

Just even to be able to say a few words.

另一个例子是，当他们问你希望被怎么称呼，而不是直接叫你的名字时。

And another example is when they ask what they should call you instead of just saying your name.

我可以说，Aubrey就很好。

I could say, Aubrey is great.

谢谢。

Thank you.

这正是我多说几句友好话语的机会。

And that's just my chance to say a few more words that are friendly.

我本可以说Aubrey，但那样有点冷淡、不够友好，不过就像你说的，这并不会降低你的分数，但你可以用更友好的方式表达。

I could just say Aubrey, but that's a little cold, a little unfriendly, and not, you know, but it like you said, it wouldn't lower your score, but you could say this in a more friendly way.

好的。

Okay.

这些是不错的小小建议。

These are good little tips here.

所以对于我们的听众来说，如果你觉得无法忍受不友好、不连接的状态，可以试试这些小方法，但这并不是最终目标。

So for our listener, there are little ways if you feel like you just can't stand not being friendly, not being connected, you could try these little things, but that's not the ultimate goal.

明白吗？

Okay?

没错。

Exactly.

尽管这些方法可能让你觉得尴尬感稍微减轻了一些。

And though this may help you feel like, okay, the awkwardness is a little bit less.

我已经表现得友好了。

I've been friendly.

如果这对你有帮助，那就去做吧，对吧？

If that helps you, go for it, right?

是的。

Yeah.

无论你做不做这些，都不会影响你的分数。

It's not going to affect your score either way, whether you do this or not.

而且考官在任何一天都要面对几十个人，对吧？

And the examiner is seeing dozens of people on any given test day, right?

所以，最终你是否觉得需要打破尴尬其实并不重要，因为我觉得考官自己并没有感到任何尴尬，对吧？

So, it really doesn't matter ultimately if you feel like You shouldn't feel like you have to break any awkwardness because I don't think the examiner is feeling any awkwardness, right?

不，如果你非要打破尴尬，那也是为你自己打破的，对吧？

No, if anything, you're breaking awkwardness for yourself, right?

如果你进来时觉得有点尴尬。

If you're like coming in, I feel a little awkward.

这可能会有点帮助，但确实值得思考的是，考官有一套非常明确的评分标准。

This might help a little, but yeah, it is interesting to think about like the examiner is, they have this very clear scoring system.

他们清楚地知道在你的回答中要寻找什么、倾听什么。

They have clear things that they are looking for in your answers, listening for in your answers.

然而，当你递给他们身份证时说了什么，或者是否说话，都不会被他们参考评分系统时记下来。

However, what you say and whether you talk at all when you hand them their ID will not be remembered when they're looking at that scoring system.

这不会影响他们能给你的任何分数。

It has no bearing on what scores they can give you.

没错。

Exactly.

那我们来角色扮演一下，看看考试当天到底会发生什么，奥布里。

So let's do a role play and see what exactly does happen on test day, Aubrey.

在这个角色扮演中，你是一名考官，而我刚被叫进去参加口语考试。

So in this role play, you're an examiner and I've just been called in to take my speaking exam.

我可能有点紧张，对吧？

I'm probably a little nervous, right?

是的，没错。

Yes, right.

好的，我来开始。

Okay, I'll start us out.

好的。

Okay.

早上好，我叫奥布里·卡特。

Good morning, my name is Aubrey Carter.

你能告诉我

Can you tell

你的名字吗？

me your name please?

林赛·麦马洪。

Lindsey McMahon.

请出示一下你的身份证件好吗？

Can I see your identification please?

好的，给你。

Yes, here you go.

还有你能

And what can

我叫你？

I call you?

林赛很好，谢谢。

Lindsey is great, thank you.

在第一部分，我想问你一些关于你自己的问题。

Now in this first part, I'd like to ask you some questions about yourself.

你现在工作还是上学？

Do you currently work or are you a student?

最后一句话是考试的开始。

And that last line is the beginning of the exam.

他们总是会一字不差地说这句话。

They'll always say this word for word.

在第一部分，我想问你一些关于你自己的问题。

Now in this first part, I'd like to ask you some questions about yourself.

然后他们会问你关于家、家乡、工作或学习的事情。

And then they're going to ask you either about home or hometown or work or studying.

你知道它会是这些话题中的一个。

You know it's gonna be one of those topics.

所以这就是知道考试已经开始的信号。

So that's the trigger to know that the exam has started.

是的。

Yep.

对吧？

Right?

而现在我们只专注于回答问题。

And now we're just focusing on our answers.

好的，很好。

Okay, good.

他们会直接进入主题，因为他们后面还有另一个学生。

And they're going to go right into it because they've got another student in the wings.

是的，没错，他们不会花时间闲聊，对吧？

Yeah, no, they're not going to spend time just chatting, right?

不，他们也不被允许。

No, and they're not allowed.

不允许。

Not allowed.

他们不会只是盯着你。

They're not going to just stare at you.

他们已经结束了，不，对吧。

They're done and done No, right

他们会完成口语测试。

they're going to get the speaking test done.

我很喜欢学生问这个问题，因为我们经常谈论建立联系，但重要的是要知道什么时候该尝试建立联系。

This is I love that the student asked this question because we do talk about connection all the time, and but it's important to know when to try to connect.

大多数时候，99%的情况下，我们都会尝试建立联系，但就是这1%的时间不能。

Most of the time, 99%, we're gonna try to connect, but just not this 1% of the time.

好的。

Okay.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Right.

我很高兴你现在知道该如何与考官交流，以及会遇到什么情况，这样考试当天就不会被搞乱了。

I'm so glad that you now know, right, how to talk to the examiner and what to expect so that this won't throw you off on test day.

是的。

Yeah.
