　　主持人:David, lets start our talk about the new changes of the new IELTS standand in August, what about the detail changes?

　　下面進入今天的主要部分。戴維，我們開始說說8月份就要實行的雅思考試標準的新變化吧，這些調整細節上是怎樣的？

　　David Hathaway:There is very little detail changes apart from the changes in the band of scoring. Previously tilll today the band of scoring for the spoken english goes 2, 4, 6, 8. It was not easy for the examiner to assess the student. They have such a wide range. Now they would increase that by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, 8. So make that easier.

　　除了打分檔次的變化之外，并沒有什么細節上的變化。以前關于口語打分的幾個檔分別是2, 4, 6, 8。這不利于考官評估學生的口語水平。分數跨越太大了。現在他們將把這個分檔擴大到2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9，讓評估變得更容易了。

　　David Hathaway:Primarily this is already forth in UK, and not yet forth here in China until August. It was the idea to give the examiners, not the students. However it does let the students got more realistic score.

　　其實這個標準已經在英國實施了，只是今年8月之前還沒有在中國實行。這個調整更多地是針對考而不是學生。當然，它可以讓學生得到更多的分數。

　　David Hathaway:This gives the students more scope, more flexibility get the 6, to get the 7. It gives them higher score. But part of the new changes along with the band of score is the pronounciation. This is the only real thinking behind it. The students pronounciation has to be slightly better, rather than in the past, pronounciation was not thought for that important. It really ......it were all the main changes. It was primarily as I said the band score. That has not ... the fact from the pronounciation.

　　這讓學生得到更多的靈活分數，可以得到7分，對于不到8分水平的學生，而不是只能得到6分。讓他們得到更高的分數。但實行這個分檔的變化，一個要求就是發音。這是在這個新標準中唯一需要認真對待的。學生的發音需要比以前稍微好一些，而不是像在過去，不把發音看的那么重要。這些就是主要的變動。最主要的，還是我剛才說的，分數檔次的變化，還有對發音的強調。

　　David Hathaway:That are really all the changes that are in place. But no doubt they would made further changes. They were initially thinking, that has not been confirmed, that they would change it to be a computer-based examimation. That however, would be a long way. They have the technology

　　這些變動是已經確定要發生。當然他們還將實行更多的變動。比如，這個還沒有確定，說會把考試變成上機的考試。當然，還有很長的路要。雖然他們有這個技術。

　　主持人：Like the IBT? 就像新托福考試？

　　David Hathaway:Yes, exactly. IBT is very easy. You could tick the box. But there are so many technichal difficulties having it online. I think it has a long long way to go in IELTS.

　　沒錯。但托福考試很簡單。你只要勾選方框就可以了。但如果在網上進行雅思考試就要很多技術上的難題。要實行雅思的機考恐怕還要很長時間。

　　主持人:So how could the candidates cope with the new situation in the ordinary exercises?那備考者在平時的練習中應該怎樣應對新變化呢？

　　David Hathaway:I dont think they should make any difference, what so ever. If the Commitee hadnt said, they would not be aware of any changes. I dont think it would be wide publicized. There arent any changes, if you look website outside. If only youl look into the tactical sources, teacher resources, then youll find changes in our place.

　　我不認為對他們平時的練習會有什么影響。如果考試委員會沒有說，他們根本不會感覺到會有變化。這沒必要大規模地公開宣傳。如果你只是看外面的網頁，是看不到什么變化的。只有當你查閱教師資料中的考試攻略部分時，才會發現我們說的這些變化。

　　主持人:The teachers should pay more attention to it. 老師們更該注意這些變化。

　　David Hathaway:Yes. It is for the techers of ours, rather than the learners of ours.

　　是的，是針對老師的，而不是針對學生的。

　　I think, however, the new changes have already got its place before, the changes were played anyway. So hopefully it would make no difference to challenge teachers. Because they already teach pronounciation as part of their course. They should slightly pay more attention to it. But as Ive said, theyve already done, already put pronounciation as part of their courses. But maybe they should make sure their students be able to cope with the the way for native people speaking, the way you look.

　　這些新變化以前也有過體現。對于老師們還構不成新的挑戰。因為他們以前在課程中也會教發音。他們只需要稍微注意一下就好。就像我說的，他們已經把發音作為課程的一部分。但需要注意的是，他們需要確保學生能夠處理和英語為母語的人對話的場景，怎樣和對方交流。

　　主持人:The English accent, or the American or the Austrailian, is it important? 那這個人是英式發音、美式發音或是澳洲口音，是不是很重要呢？

　　David Hathaway:If you listen to my voice, I have exemly strange accent. It is very different in English. Some people would think me somebody from the country as I dont speak as normal accent, as I speak very quickly. So I dont think having an accent being American, English or Australian would make a diffenrence. The examiners, for example, maybe from Australia, Newzealand, with all different accents. If you have American accent as a lot of students in China, certainly would make a difference if you have an American examiner with an American accent. It doesnt make any difference surely if it has not in the examination. The only thing that I should say is that you dont make the two, the American pronounciation, the British pronounciation pronounciation together.

　　如果你聽我的發音，會發現我的發音極其特殊。在英國人中是不常見的。有些人會認為我可能來自鄉下，因為我說的并不是普通的英式發音，因為我說得比較快。因此我不認為你說的是美式發音、英式發音或澳洲口音有什么關系。其實考官也可能來自澳大利亞或新西蘭，他們也有各自的口音。如果你說的是美式發音，像大多數中國學生一樣，如果你考試的時候恰好也碰上一位美語發音的美國人，那當然會好些。如果你的美式發音在考試里沒遇到美語口音的老師，自然沒有什么不同。我唯一想強調的是，你不可以同時運用兩種發音，把美音和英音混合起來用是不可以的。

　　主持人:So it wont affect their score?就是說，發音不會影響分數了？

　　David Hathaway:Not at all.絕對不會。
