expensive so you can have nicer quality things -  cakes, party foods and so on, for the people you

invite. It’s also easier to organise, you invite  less people, as I said, so you don’t have to keep

Let’s continue to talk about influence. 

继续说影响力。

What are some ways a person can influence others?

一个人可以通过哪些方式影响他人？

I’ve never really thought about  that before. I believe, that, well,  

我以前从来没有真正想过这个。我相信，嗯，

first of all, when we talk about influencing  others, what immediately springs to mind is  

首先，当我们谈论影响他人时，首先想到的是

social media. There are a lot of influencers  out there, on Instagram, Tik Tok or wherever  

社交媒体。 在 Instagram、Tik Tok 或

that just try to make people buy things, so  that’s one form of influence we can have. But,  

任何试图让人们购买东西的 地方， 有很多有影响力的人 ，所以这是我们可以拥有的一种影响力。 但是，

thinking about it more, secondly I’d like to add  that parents are huge influences on children.  

仔细想想，其次我想补充一点，父母对孩子的影响是巨大的。

Everything from teaching them manners to exploring  the world together, right down to what they eat,  

从教他们礼仪到一起探索世界，一直到他们吃什么，

um, especially for young children, parents have  the biggest impact and they can create this by  

嗯，尤其是对于年幼的孩子，父母的影响最大，他们可以通过

leading by example. Parents show children how to  act in the way they behave and eh, by, by talking  

以身作则来创造这一点。父母向孩子们展示如何以他们的行为方式行事，嗯，通过与

to them about why they should or shouldn’t  do certain things. One final way people can  

他们谈论为什么他们应该或不应该做某些事情。人们受他人影响的最后一种方式

be influenced by others is because something is  perceived to be cool. I’m talking about teenagers  

是因为某些东西被认为很酷。我现在说的是青少年

and peer pressure now. It’s incredibly difficult  for a teenager to say no to something or someone  

和同伴压力。 当其他人都这样做时，

when the rest of their group is doing so, so  they can often fall into traps and get into  

青少年很难对某事或某人说不 ，因此他们经常会掉入陷阱并

trouble because of it. There are various ways to  influence others. Some positive and some negative.

因此惹上麻烦。影响他人的方式多种多样。一些积极的和一些消极的。

What kinds of people are generally influential?

什么样的人通常有影响力？

Well, we usually talk about people with  leadership skills being influential. I’m  

好吧，我们通常谈论具有领导才能的人具有影响力。我

not quite sure what that means but how I  understand it is when people are confident,  

不太确定这意味着什么，但我的理解是当人们自信、

self-assured and able to get things done, they  can assert influence over people and these  

自信并能够完成任务时，他们可以对人们施加影响，而这些

are what most people would consider positive  traits in a leader. If I would hazard a guess,  

是大多数人认为领导者的积极品质。如果我敢猜测，

I’d say that these things can be taught but they  are often inherited from family members too. So,  

我会说这些东西是可以教的，但它们通常也是从家庭成员那里遗传下来的。因此，

the people who have predecessors in positions  of power often go on to hold them themselves.  

拥有前任掌权者的人往往会继续自己掌权。

We hear a lot on social media at the moment  about nepobabies - I dunno if you’ve heard  

我们目前在社交媒体上听到很多关于 nepobabies 的消息——我不知道你是否听说过

about that - what it means is the children of  nepotism or people who are famous or powerful  

——这意味着裙带关系的孩子，或者

just because their parents or grandparents  already are. This is definitely one way in  

仅仅因为他们的父母或祖父母已经是名人或有权势的人。这绝对是

which we can get power or be influential and,  as I said, the other way is to lead by example. 

我们获得权力或影响力的一种方式，正如我所说，另一种方式是以身作则。

How has influencing people changed over the years?

这些年来，影响人们的方式发生了怎样的变化？

Hmm that’s a tricky question  because it’s not really my field.  

嗯，这是一个棘手的问题，因为这不是我的领域。

I’m not an anthropologist. However, I would  imagine that technology has played a big part in  

我不是人类学家。但是，我认为技术在

affecting what people do and change. For example,  in the 1950’s, with the onset of the television  

影响人们的行为和改变方面发挥了重要作用。例如，在 1950 年代，随着电视

era, as we see in Mad Men, advertising on TV did  a lot to change how people lived their lives and  

时代的到来，正如我们在《广告狂人》中看到的那样，电视广告极大地改变了人们的生活方式，甚至改变了

indeed what they wanted from their life. Since  then TV advertisements have been persuading the  

人们对生活的渴望。从那以后，电视广告一直在说服

public at large and I don’t think that’s going to  stop. It’s just that now the ads are on streaming  

广大公众，我认为这不会停止。只是现在广告在流媒体

services and the like. As I mentioned before,  influencers on social media also play a role in  

服务之类的。 正如我之前提到的，社交媒体上的影响者也在 过去几年发生的变化

the change that has happened over the last few  years. I think that we’ve seen an enormous rise  

中发挥了作用 。 我认为我们已经看到消费主义的巨大增长

in consumerism with disposable items being more  and more used to the point where it’s dangerous  

，一次性用品的使用越来越多，以至于

for our planet and our psychology, as well as  our wallets! But I hope that in the future,  

对我们的星球、我们的心理以及我们的钱包造成危险！但我希望在未来，

it’s going to change to be a bit more sustainable  for our bank accounts and the Earth. We used to  

它会发生变化，对我们的银行账户和地球更具可持续性。我们曾经

have different technology but the same thinking  behind it prevails, for the moment anyways.

拥有不同的技术，但它背后的相同思想盛行，无论如何目前都是如此。

Is it possible to be too influential?

有没有可能影响太大？

Well, yeah, I’ve noticed are some celebrities,  or really their fandoms that are too influential,  

嗯，是的，我注意到有些名人，或者他们的粉丝圈太有影响力了，

like when one celebrity, like Hailey Beiber’s  fans started harassing another, Selena Gomez,  

比如当一个名人，比如 Hailey Beiber 的粉丝开始骚扰另一个名人，赛琳娜戈麦斯，

just because their fans deems them to be rivals  even though they’ve both stated they’re not and  

只是因为他们的粉丝认为他们是竞争对手，即使他们“我们都说他们不是，

Justin and Selena are ancient history. I think  if a fandom starts bullying another celebrity,  

贾斯汀和赛琳娜是古老的历史。我认为，如果一个粉丝开始欺负另一个名人，

which at the end of the day, is a  human being, then that’s excessive  

而这个名人归根结底是一个人，那也太过分了

too. So that’s why I’d say there’s such  a thing as being too influential, yeah.

。所以这就是为什么我会说有影响力太大这样的事情，是的。

Thank you, that is the end of the test.

谢谢，测试到此结束。

Well, what did you think? She’s good, isn’t  she? But what makes this a band nine? Remember,  

好吧，你怎么想的？她很好，不是吗？但是，是什么让这成为第九乐队呢？请记住，

that you’re graded on the test overall  and the speaking examiner refers to the  

您是根据整体测试评分的，口语考官会参考

band descriptors to make a decision  about the score for each section. 

分数段描述符来决定每个部分的分数。

This is a perfect example, so Barbara  has scored nine for Fluency and cohesion,  

这是一个完美的例子，所以芭芭拉在流利度和衔接方面得了九分，在

nine for lexical resource -  that basically means vocabulary,  

词汇资源方面得了九分——基本上是指词汇，

nine for grammatical range and accuracy and  nine for pronunciation. You could also score  

在语法范围和准确性方面得了九分，在发音方面得了九分。您也可以

an eight in one of these categories and still  get an overall nine for the speaking paper.

在其中一个类别中获得八分，而口语试卷的总分仍为九分。

Let’s take a closer look at ‘fluency and  cohesion’. Barbara is fluent throughout.  

让我们仔细看看“流畅度和衔接度”。芭芭拉自始至终都很流利。

She repeats some phrases and words but  not because she’s limited by her language  

她会重复一些短语和单词，但不是因为她的语言

ability. For example, there are only so many  ways to say ‘influence’ or ‘influential’  

能力有限。例如，“influence”或“influential”的表达方式只有这么多，

but look at all the synonyms and different  forms Barbara uses - ‘influencing others’,  

但看看 Barbara 使用的所有同义词和不同形式——“influencing others”、

‘a form of influence’ - influence here is a  noun, ‘huge influences on’, ‘biggest impact’,  

“a form of influence”——这里的 influence 是一个名词，“huge”影响”、“最大影响”、

‘be influenced by’, ‘being influential’, ‘assert  influence’ - here she’s showing she knows other  

“受到影响”、“有影响力”、“发挥影响力”——她在这里展示了她知道

verbs that collocate with the word influence,  ‘be influential’, ‘affecting what people do’,  

与“影响力”、“有影响力”、“影响人们所做的事情”等词搭配的其他动词、

‘persuading’, ‘influences’ and ‘too  influential’. There is a little bit  

“说服”、“影响”和“影响太大”。有一点

of repetition but the descriptor says ‘with  only rare repetition or self-correction’.  

重复，但描述符说“只有很少的重复或自我纠正”。

Barbara uses this and that and other  pronouns to avoid excessive repetition. 

芭芭拉使用这个、那个和其他代词来避免过度重复。

She makes some ums and ahs but these  are natural when we speak and she’s not  

她会发出一些嗯和啊，但当我们说话时这些是很自然的，她不会

penalised for them. The descriptor says  ‘any hesitation is content related’. 

因此而受到惩罚。描述符说“任何犹豫都与内容相关”。

She speaks appropriately - this means she answers  the question. She shows the examiner she has  

她说话得当——这意味着她回答了问题。 她 使用一种称为“总结”的策略向

answered the question by using a strategy called  ‘summing up’. She says her main point or points  

考官展示她已经 回答了问题。她 在回答结束时再次

again at the end of the answer and makes sure to  relate it back to the question asked. For example,  

说出她的主要观点 ，并确保将其与提出的问题联系起来。 例如，

she says ‘There are various ways to influence  others. Some positive and some negative’ at  

她说“影响他人的方式有很多种。 在第 3 部分中的一个问题的末尾

the end of one of the questions in part 3.  The descriptor says ‘speaks coherently’.

有一些正面的和一些负面的'。 描述符说'说话连贯'。

She also uses phrases such as  ‘first of all’, ‘for example’,  

她还使用诸如“首先”、“例如”、

‘as I mentioned before’, ‘so that’s  why’ and various other linkers and  

“正如我之前提到的”、“所以这就是为什么”等短语以及各种其他链接和

phrases to structure her answer. These are the  cohesive features referred to in the criteria.

短语来构建她的答案。这些是标准中提到的凝聚力特征。

She also gives examples or anecdotes to  illustrate her points so the examiner  

她还给出了例子或轶事来说明她的观点，因此考官

considers that she ‘developed topics fully  and appropriately’, as the descriptor says. 

认为她“充分而适当地展开了话题”，正如描述符所说的那样。

Now let’s look at ‘lexical resource and accuracy’  (III). Barbara uses a wide range of vocabulary,  

现在让我们看看“词汇资源和准确性”（III）。芭芭拉使用了广泛的词汇，

some more day-to-day and some less frequently  used words and phrases, like, ‘get ripped off’,  

一些日常用语和一些不太常用的词和短语，例如“被扯掉”、“

‘a bit cramped’, ‘keep track’, and ‘hard-boiled  sweets’. She has a lot of vocabulary to talk  

有点局促”、“保持跟踪”和“煮熟的糖果”。她有很多词汇来谈论

about the different topics in the exam so she can  answer the questions fully. In the descriptor,  

考试中的不同主题，因此她可以完整地回答问题。在描述符中，

it says ‘uses vocabulary with full flexibility  and precision in all topics’. She sounds natural  

它说“在所有主题中都使用完全灵活和精确的词汇”。她听起来很自然

and doesn’t struggle to find new words.  Another part of the descriptor is ‘uses  

，不会费力地寻找新词。描述符的另一部分是“

idiomatic language naturally and accurately’  - we see this with ‘it pays the bills’,  

自然而准确地使用惯用语言”——我们将其视为“支付账单”、

‘can take on a life of their own’, and ‘not my  cup of tea at all’. She only uses one idiom and  

“可以过自己的生活”和“根本不适合我”。她只用一种成语，

that’s perfectly fine. One or two over the whole  exam will get you a good score, if you use them in  

这很好。 如果你以 正确的方式

the correct way. Her language is natural, on the  whole and she uses ‘you know’ ‘well’ and ‘like’  

使用它们，那么在整个考试中使用一两次就会取得好成绩 。 总的来说，她的语言很自然，她很

naturally. Even these small phrases get her points  for idiomatic language because that’s how we talk!

自然地使用“你知道”“很好”和“喜欢”。即使是这些小短语也能得到她的地道语言加分，因为我们就是这样说话的！

Alright, moving on to ‘grammatical range  and accuracy’. Barbara definitely uses a  

好的，继续“语法范围和准确性”。芭芭拉肯定使用了

full range of structures - from present simple  ‘I work’ to mixed conditional ‘it’s not what I  

各种结构——从现在简单的“我工作”到混合条件句“这不是我想要的”

would have wanted’ to ‘used to’ - ‘we used to  have different technology’. She adds this to  

到“曾经”——“我们曾经有不同的技术”。她将此添加到

the end of the question about how influence  has changed over the years. This is a great  

有关多年来影响如何变化的问题的末尾。这是您也可以使用的好

strategy you can use too. Find opportunities to  use something more than present and past simple.

策略。寻找机会使用比现在和过去更简单的东西。

She uses other structures like cleft sentences  - ‘what immediately springs to mind is social  

她使用其他结构，如分句——“立即浮现在脑海中的是社交

media’, and negative inversion - ‘not only  was she kind and generous but she also made  

媒体”，以及负面倒置——“她不仅善良和慷慨，而且她还确保

sure I had what I needed’ to add interest to  her speech and show the examiner examples of  

我拥有我需要的东西”来增加她演讲和表演的趣味性考官用

different structures to get a band score nine.  A lot of what she says is not that complex,  

不同结构的例子来获得九分的分数。她说的很多话并不那么复杂，

but when it’s put all together, it sounds like a  native speaker. Not everything is perfect. There  

但当它们放在一起时，听起来就像是母语人士。并非一切都是完美的。有

are some inaccuracies - ‘I would rather prefer’,  ‘spend the quality time’. These are considered  

一些不准确的地方——“我宁愿选择”、“花时间”。这些被认为

slips, something that happens naturally when  we’re talking because we change our mind about  

是失误，是我们谈话时自然发生的事情，因为我们在

what we’re saying as we’re speaking. They’re  not errors because she never repeats them,  

谈话时改变了对我们所说内容的看法。它们不是错误，因为她从不重复它们，

so even though her grammar was not  absolutely perfect, she still scored  

所以即使她的语法不是绝对完美，她仍然得了

a nine. The descriptor says ‘consistently  accurate structures, apart from ‘slips’. 

九分。描述符说“始终如一的准确结构，除了‘失误’。

Lastly, let’s look at ‘pronunciation’. The most  important thing here is that we can understand  

最后，让我们看看“发音”。这里最重要的是我们可以

everything she says with little effort. The  descriptor says ‘is effortless to understand’  

毫不费力地理解她所说的一切。描述符说“很容易理解”

and she certainly is. She also uses features of  ‘connected speech’, like ‘I dunno’ for I don’t  

，她当然是。她还使用“连接语音”的功能，比如“我不知道”，因为我不知道

know. This hits the descriptor ‘uses a full range  of pronunciation features’. Her intonation also  

。这符合描述符“使用全方位的发音特征”。她的语调

gets her points here. She never sounds bored or  robotic. She is also flexible, for example, when  

在这里也得到了她的观点。她从不听起来无聊或机器人。她也很灵活，例如，当

she says ‘the point’ and ‘the Earth’, the ‘the’  sounds different because of the word that follows.  

她说“the point”和“the Earth”时，“the”的发音因后面的单词而不同。

Her pronunciation is natural. The descriptor says  ‘sustains flexible use of features throughout’.
