你是否持续被我们的节目内容所惊艳？

Are you perpetually impressed by our episodes?

今天，你会被这些在雅思口语和写作中极其实用的高分词汇所惊艳。

Today, you'll be amazed by this high scoring vocabulary that is extremely useful on both IELTS speaking and writing.

嘿，奥布里。

Hey, Aubrey.

你是个精明的旅行者吗？

Are you a savvy traveler?

我想我是的。

I think I am.

是啊。

Yeah.

我喜欢在预订机票和酒店时寻找优惠。

I like to look for deals when booking flights and hotels.

我觉得这能证明我是个精明的旅行者。

I I think that considers that makes me a savvy traveler.

你呢？

What about you?

当然。

For sure.

我觉得大多数听众都是精明的旅行者。

I think most people listening are savvy travelers.

如果你擅长规划旅行，并且去过很多地方，那你就是个精明的旅行者。

If you, like if you're good at planning travel and you have traveled a lot, you're a savvy traveler.

我认为这也和经验有关。

I think it comes with experience as well.

是啊。

Yeah.

确实。

For sure.

我记得前几次旅行时完全摸不着头脑。

I think the first couple times I traveled, I didn't know what I was doing.

还犯过不少错误。

I made some mistakes.

哦，

Oh,

是啊。

yeah.

确实。

For sure.

各位，你们知道旅行绝对是雅思考试的热门话题。

So guys, you know that traveling is definitely a hot IELTS topic.

它可能在考试的任何一个部分出现，对吧？

It could come up anywhere on the exam, right?

没错。

Yes.

有很多口语问题会询问你的旅行偏好或让你描述最近的一次旅行，写作部分也一样。

There's lots of speaking questions that are asking you about your travel preferences or to describe a recent trip, but also writing.

在普通培训中你可能要写一封关于旅行的信件，或是第二部分的议论文。

You write a letter in general training about travel or a task two essay.

所以今天的词汇在整个考试中都非常实用。

So today's vocabulary is extremely useful all over the exam.

是的。

Yes.

是的。

Yes.

好的。

Alright.

那我们开始吧。

So let's get into it.

这些词汇实际上来自《纽约时报》的一篇文章，标题是《想在今年抢到便宜旅行？》。

This vocabulary actually is coming from a New York Times article called, want to score cheap travel this year?

告诉你最佳购买时机。

Here's when to buy.

我们在最近一期节目中用了这篇文章。

And we used this article in a recent episode.

是的。

Yes.

是1471期。

It was 1471.

如果错过了可以往上翻看。

So scroll up if you missed it.

这太棒了。

This is great.

这是雅思阅读考试的第四部分练习。

Practice four at the IELTS reading exam.

但这篇文章包含了许多可以在口语和写作中使用的高分词汇。

But this was a passage that had a lot of high scoring vocab for you to use on speaking and writing.

很多词汇如果出现在雅思阅读文章或听力音频中，会让人很难选出正确答案。

A lot of vocab that would be difficult if this were in an IELTS reading passage or on a listening audio would make it really difficult to pick out the right answers.

那确实会很难。

It would be so hard.

我是说，今天我们真的教了大家很多词汇。

I mean, even we're teaching you a lot of vocabulary today, guys.

而这些都只是来自文章前三分之一的部分。

And this all came from, like, easily the first third of the article.

对吧？

Right?

那只是几个段落而已。

That was just a few paragraphs.

那篇文章里有太多精彩的词汇了。

There's so much great, so much great vocabulary in that article.

我们强烈推荐大家去阅读它。

We we highly recommend that you read it.

那么现在让我们开始学习词汇吧。

So let's get into the vocab.

奥布里，第一个短语是什么？

Aubrey, what is the first phrase?

是的，首先'out'表示提前的意思。

Yeah, so first is out to mean in advance.

所以如果你看到或听到'三十天out'，意思就是某件事（比如旅行）之前的三十天。

So if you see or hear thirty days out, that means like thirty days before something else, before a trip maybe.

我们有两种表达方式，可以说'提前三十天'或者

And there's two ways we say that, you know, thirty days in advance or

'三十天out'。

thirty days out.

用'out'代替'in advance'，这在词汇难度上大概相差两个等级。

Saying out instead of in advance is that's like two band point difference in vocabulary.

这种用'out'替代'in advance'的搭配用法。

The collocation of saying out instead of in advance.

我从来没听学生这样说过。

I've never heard a student say that.

确实如此。

That's true.

你也可以说‘提前三十天’，但我确实也听过学生这么说。

And you can also say thirty days ahead, but I have heard students say that as well.

我同意。

I agree.

所以如果你要描述某件事提前多久发生，可以说具体日期、天数或月数，然后加上‘提前’这个词。

So if you can, if you're talking about how far in advance something was, say the date, the number of days, or the number of months, and then just the word out.

‘提前两年’意味着某事发生前两年。

Two years out means two years before something.

对。

Yeah.

或者用‘提前’作为同义词，我觉得也可以。

Or like ahead of time, would also be a synonym, I believe.

接下来这个短语你们可能听过，但我们还是想教一下以防万一，因为它确实是个很棒的短语。

And then this next phrase, you guys might have heard this one actually, but we still wanna teach it just in case because it is a wonderful phrase.

‘人迹罕至的小路’或‘冷门路线’。

Off the beaten path or off the beaten track.

我觉得我更常说track，但文章里用的是path

I think I say track more often, but in the article, it

确实用了path

did say path.

那么偏离常规路线是什么意思呢？

So what does that mean to go off the beaten path?

对

Yeah.

这特别指旅行时去大多数人不知道或不去的地方

This is especially when traveling a place that most people wouldn't know about or don't go to.

比如游客不知道的地方

Like tourists don't know about it.

所以你绝不会说巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔是冷门景点

So you would never say like, the Eiffel Tower in Paris is off the beaten path.

确实不是

No.

那属于常规路线。

That's on the beaten path.

我们不会那么说。

We don't say it that way.

对。

Yeah.

这是大多数人不会去的地方。

This is somewhere that most people wouldn't go to.

而且我相信我们的听众旅行时都喜欢另辟蹊径。

And, you know, I'm certain that our listeners like to go off the beaten path when they travel.

我们的听众很勇敢。

Our listeners are brave.

他们是冒险家。

They're risk takers.

对吧？

Right?

他们想在国外的一所英语大学挑战自我。

They wanna challenge themselves in an English speaking university in a different country.

他们想通过移居另一个国家来挑战自我。

They wanna challenge themselves by moving to another country.

所以，各位，我相信你们

So, guys, I'm sure that you

可以在雅思考试中描述旅行经历时用到这个表达。

can use this when you describe your travel experiences on IELTS.

而且它的用法比这更灵活，因为我们不仅用于旅行，也可能用于职业选择。

And it's even more flexible than that because we use it not just about travel, but maybe about careers.

比如：我的家人希望我当医生，但我决定不走寻常路，选择其他职业。

If you're like, my family expected me to be a doctor, but I decided to go off the beaten path and do something else.

对吧？

Right?

我们也会用它来形容任何出乎意料的事，比如改变或不同寻常的事。

We also use it just to do anything unexpected, like a change or something out of the ordinary.

这是个灵活的习语。

It is a flexible idiom.

我很喜欢这一点。

I love that.

在口语第一部分，如果你要描述家乡，就可以用这个。

And in speaking part one, if you're describing your hometown, you could use this.

基本上，只要在描述某个地方时，或者像奥布里说的那样做出非传统选择时，都可以用这个习语。

Basically, anytime you're describing a place or as Aubrey said, making, a nontraditional choice, you can use this idiom.

没错。

Yes.

太棒了。

Awesome.

好的。

Alright.

我们下一个词是'附带条件'，指的是好事中的一点瑕疵。

Our next word is caveat, which means like one bad thing about a good situation.

我经常听到这个词。

I hear this a lot.

我经常用这个词，但它

I use it a lot, but it

相当平实。

is pretty level.

听起来非常精炼且专业感十足。

It just sounds very polished and impressive professional.

完全同意。

Totally.

没错。

Yeah.

我经常用这个词。

I I use this word all the time.

不知道为什么，它已经成了我的常用词汇之一。

I don't know why, but it's become like one of my go to words.

因为总有陷阱。

It's, because there's always a catch.

还有另一个习语。

There's another idiom.

对吧？

Right?

总有陷阱。

There's always a catch.

基本上，没有什么是完美的。

Like, nothing is ever perfect, basically.

总有附加条件。

There's always a caveat.

就像，也许你正在找新工作。

So it's like, maybe you're looking for a new job.

对吧？

Right?

你以为自己找到了完美的工作，但总有一个附加条件。

And you think you've scored, like, the perfect job, but there's one caveat.

你得搬到爱达荷州之类的地方去。

You have to move to Idaho or something like this.

哦，这可是个大问题。

Oh, that's a big caveat.

确实是个大问题。

A big caveat.

或者当别人问你最喜欢的餐厅时，你可以说'这家店的龙虾浓汤最棒'。

Or if you're asked about your favorite restaurant, be like, oh, this place has the best lobster bisque.

但有个问题——它离我家有10英里远。

But one caveat is it's 10 miles from my house.

所以每当你在分享喜欢的事物或活动时，都可以加上这句话，顺便提一个关于它的小缺点。

So anytime you're sharing about something you like or you do, you can add this and share one thing that's a little bit negative about it.

没错。

Yeah.

你猜我刚刚想到什么？

You know what just occurred to me?

这个词用在写作任务二里也很棒，当你在讨论优缺点时。

This would be a great word to use in writing task two as well when you're talking about like advantages and disadvantages.

所以如果你的观点是‘这个话题总体有利’，那么关于不利之处的段落就可以写成注意事项段落。

So if your opinion is that, this topic is generally advantageous, then the paragraph about what's not great, right, could be a paragraph about caveats.

对吧？

Right?

你可以在任务二里用这个技巧。

You can use that in task two.

那会很棒。

That'd be great.

是的。

Yes.

完全正确。

Absolutely.

而且它绝对足够正式，足够出色，适合用于任务二的文章。

And it's definitely formal enough, impressive enough for a task two essay.

想法。

Idea.

是的。

Yeah.

下一个词，伙计们，savvy（精明的）。

And our next word, guys, savvy.

多么棒的一个形容词。

What such a fantastic adjective.

我们在节目开头就用过这个词。

We used that at the beginning of the show.

你会如何定义savvy（精明）？

How would you define savvy?

意思就是聪明和机灵。

That means like smart and clever.

这个词拼写有点小技巧，如果你要写出来是双v的，s a v v y，这在英语中非常罕见。

This is spelled a little tricky if you're using it for writing with two v's, s a v v y, which is really rare in English.

所以如果在文章中使用，一定要特别注意拼写。

So definitely pay attention to the spelling if using it in an essay.

这是个好建议。

That's a good tip.

不过这个词虽然高级，但意思很简单。

But since this word, it's high level, but the meaning is easy.

就是聪明的意思。

It's just like clever.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Right.

正因为意思简单，你们完全可以在很多场合使用这个词。

Because the meaning is easy guys, you can definitely use this in so many places.

无论是描述自己还是他人，你都可以说某人在某方面很精明，然后举例说明他们有多聪明。

Anytime you're describing yourself, describing other people, you can say that someone is savvy about something and then give an example about how they're so smart.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yes.

而且这个词也可以用来形容公司和政府，你知道的。

And it can be used to describe companies and governments, you know.

所以在雅思第三部分和写作任务二中都会很有用，因为你是在分享他们做过的聪明事。

So then it could be useful in both part three and IELTS task two because you're sharing what they have done that is also smart.

你可以把一项好政策称为精明的政策。

Maybe a good policy you could call savvy.

完全正确。

Totally.

比如在问题解决型作文里。

Like in a problem solution essay.

对吗？

Right?

你可以说一个精明的解决方案就是'是的'。

You could say one savvy solution would be Yes.

完美。

Perfect.

你知道在你那里参加雅思考试要多少钱吗？

Do you know how much an IELTS exam costs where you live?

现在全球大多数雅思考试费用在200到300美元之间。

Most IELTS exams around the world cost around $200 to $300 these days.

这可是一大笔钱。

That is a lot of money.

我们制作这个播客就是为了帮助像你这样的全球考生正确备考雅思，这样你就不必反复支付高昂的考试费用。

We made this podcast so we could help students like you from all over the world prepare correctly for the IELTS exam so you don't have to pay to take this expensive test over and over.

好的。

Alright.

接下来这个短语也是个很棒的短语。

This next phrase is is is also a lovely phrase.

我觉得它既简单易用又很出彩。

I think it's easy to use and impressive.

经得起考验的。

Tried and true.

所以这是个形容词短语。

So this is an adjective phrase.

你会怎么定义这个？

How would you how would you define this?

对，就像可靠的、总是有效的东西。

Yeah, like dependable, something that always works.

这个可以用来描述方法、政策等，很多事物都可以说是经得起考验的。

And this can be used to describe like a method, a policy, lots of different things can be tried and true.

意思是你已经尝试过它。

Means you have tried it.

它经过测试并被证明是有效的。

It has been tested and proven to be effective.

所以我厨艺不太好。

So I am not a good cook.

但如果...我儿子他总跟我说。

And if but my my son is he keeps telling me.

他说，不，你是个好厨师。

He's like, no, you're a good cook.

你是个好厨师。

You're a good cook.

我就说，那是因为我只做那些经过验证的食谱。

And I'm like, that's because I only make the tried and true recipes.

对吧？

Right?

就像我只做那些我知道怎么做的东西。

Like I it just only make the ones that I know how to do.

对。

Right.

我知道我能做好这个。

I know I can do this.

我知道你会喜欢的。

I know you're going to like it.

我们就坚持这样吧。

We'll stick with that.

然后我就成了个好厨师。

And then I'm a good cook.

所以就是这样。

So there you go.

你也可以

You can also

尝试做惠灵顿牛排，虽然我知道结果不会太好。

be using a beef Wellington that I know is not going to turn out.

在这家里可不会做什么鸡胸肉卷。

No like chicken cordon bleu in this house.

我们更常做的是意大利面和肉丸。

We're about like spaghetti and meatballs.

总之，就是想告诉你们这句话有多灵活，伙计们。

But anyway, just to show you how flexible that phrase is, guys.

对吧？

Right?

所以你甚至可以在第一部分关于烹饪的问题中使用它。

So you could even use it, in part one questions about cooking.

就是这样。

There you go.

下一个词非常高级，我真的很喜欢——leeway（回旋余地）。

This next word is very high level and I really like it, leeway.

我从没听学生说过这个词。

I've never heard a student say that.

我想我也没听过。

I don't think I have either.

这个词确实不太常见。

It is less common.

它的意思是指可用的行动或移动的自由度。

It means like the amount of freedom to act or move that is available.

这在雅思口语考试中肯定非常有用。

So this could definitely be useful in IELTS speaking questions.

比如当被问到工作时，你可以说：'老板给我的日程安排留有很大余地'。

Even if you're asked about like your job, for example, you could say, my boss gives me a lot of leeway with my schedule.

意思和灵活性差不多。

Means sort of the same as flexibility.

完全正确。

Totally.

是的。

Yeah.

Leeway就是指你拥有的自由度。

Leeway is just like an amount of freedom that you have.

所以这个词汇非常适合用来回答关于工作的第一部分口语问题。

So yeah, I think this is perfect for speaking part one questions about work.

因为你要么在决策、休假、病假或工作安排方面有很大自主权，要么就没有多少自主权。

Because either you do have a lot of leeway as far as decision making, as far as vacation, sick time, work schedule, or you don't have a lot of leeway.

对吧？

Right?

你必须遵守严格的规定。

You have to adhere to, strict expectations.

所以你可以在否定句中使用它，比如：我没有太多自主权。

So you could use it in the negative and say, I don't have a lot of leeway.

或者关于你的童年。

Or about your childhood.

这样说会很棒：我父母给了我很大自由。

This would be great to say, my parents gave me a lot of leeway.

我没有宵禁时间。

I didn't have a curfew.

他们信任我。

They trusted me.

考官很可能会问你的青少年时期，迫使你使用过去时态。

So you're likely to be asked about your youth to force you to use the past tense.

完全正确。

Totally.

这个词用起来会很棒。

This would be a great word to use.

我太喜欢了。

I love it.

今天的词汇超级实用。

Today's vocabulary is so useful.

非常实用。

So useful.

还有两个短语，大家注意。

Two more phrases, guys.

淡季。

Off season.

就算你们现在不知道意思，可能也能猜出来。

You guys might be able to guess what that means if you don't already know.

所以淡季是用来描述旅游的，因为这是我们今天的主题，淡季就是指游客通常不去那里的时候。

So off season, to describe travel, because that is our topic today, off season would just be like any time that tourists don't normally go there.

对，没错。

Right, exactly.

这集里这个问题有点棘手。

So this was tricky in the episode.

如果你错过了，其中有个问题是问人们是否应该在节假日期间旅行。

If you missed it, one of the questions was asking if people should travel during the holidays.

文章中对应的表达是，你知道的，不要在旺季出行，要选择淡季。

And the parallel expression in the article was, you know, don't or do travel on off season times.

是啊。

Yeah.

除非你知道这意味着不要在节假日期间，那么

And unless you know that means like not during holidays, then

那确实会让人困惑。

that would be tricky.

是啊，完全同意。

Yeah, totally.

精明的旅行者总是尽量预订淡季出行。

Savvy travelers always try to book off season.

对吧？

Right?

我们都知道那总是更便宜的选择。

We we know that's always the cheaper option.

好的。

Okay.

最后一个词，我们把最好的留到最后了各位。

This last word, we saved the best for last guys.

这是个非常惊艳的词，说起来很有趣，你可以在口语和写作中使用——多年生植物（perennial）。

This is such an impressive word and it's fun to say, and you could use it in speaking and writing perennial.

多年生植物（Perennial）。

Perennial.

这个词真是美妙极了。

That's it's such a lovely word.

它的意思就是'永远'。

It just means always.

用起来并不难。

Like it's not a difficult word to use.

还有个同义表达同样很高级。

And there's another parallel expression that's also very high scoring.

是什么呢？

What is that?

对，就是'持续不断地'。

Yeah, perpetually.

所以同义词

So synonyms

就是持续不断地。

are constantly perpetually.

真有趣，我居然说了肉桂

That's funny I said cinnamon.

可能是因为我今早吃了肉桂卷

It's probably because I had cinnamon rolls this morning.

满脑子都是这个

Still on the brain.

我超爱肉桂卷

I love cinnamon rolls.

不过确实，如果能用'perennial'或'perpetually'替代'always'或'constantly'，能大幅提升词汇分数

But yeah, these are super high scoring if you can say perennial or perpetually instead of always or constantly to push up that vocab score.

想想你们在雅思口语或写作中会多频繁使用'always'或'all the time'这类表达

Think of how often guys you would use the word always in IELTS speaking or writing or to say all the time.

对吧？

Right?

五分段选手才会整天用这些词

Band five all the time.

九分水平用'perennial'

Band nine perennial.

就像肉桂卷在我家是常年最爱

Like cinnamon rolls are a perennial favorite in my house.

意思就是人们永远都爱肉桂卷

It just means like people always love cinnamon rolls.

没错

Exactly.

所以'perennial'是形容词

So perennial is the adjective.

'Perennially'是副词

Perennially is the adverb.

我最常在植物领域听到这个词

I've heard this most with plants.

我妈妈总是种多年生植物，但这样用作形容词/副词的情况比较少见

My mom would always plant perennials, but it's a less common to use this way as an adjective adverb.

所以一定要在口语和写作中使用它。

So definitely use it in your speaking, your writing.

考官一定会对此印象深刻。

The examiner's going to be impressed by that.

超级印象深刻。

Super impressed.

好了，各位。
