文字版來了！！Hey guys，it』s Steve from Asian Boss.大家好，我是Asian Boss的Steve。There are number of internationally recognized tests, that assess English language proficiency for non-native English speakers.目前有許多國際認可的針對非英語母語者的語言能力測試。One of the most popular tests, is called the International English Language Testing System, or IELTS.其中最受歡迎的就有雅思，全稱為International English Language Testing System。Every year more than 2 million people from all around the world, take the IELTS test to either, get into universities, get work experience, or meet the immigration requirements of most English speaking countries.每年，全球應試者人數超過200萬，有的人為了進入大學而考雅思，有的為了獲得工作經驗，或者為了達到英語國家的移民要求。Now given that the test is for non-native English speakers, you would think that they ask fairly simple questions like, where are you from? or do you like cats?由於這是針對非英語母語者的考試，你可能會認為題目相當簡單，比如類似於你來自哪裡？你喜歡貓嗎這樣的問題。So we though it would be fun to test native English speakers, if they could actually answer some of the questions that we pulled out from the IELTS test.所以我們想用雅思試題來考考英語母語者，看看他們是否能回答出這些問題，這應該會很有趣。Here is how they went.下面是採訪過程。Should developing countries concertrate on improvingindustrial skills for economical gain,or should they promote educational reform first?發展中國家應該集中精力提高工業水平，以此來促進經濟增長，還是應該先促進教育改革？......That』s a tough one. Can you read it to me one more time?這個問題很難呀！你能在說一遍嗎？OK, so ...it was like economics vs...-It was like more industry or more education in developing countries.所以，這就是說經濟VS.....-也就是說在發展中國家應該重視工業還是教育的問題。ok, well I agree with you in aspect that...F***the aspect that ...-That"s fine.好吧，我贊成......-說不出來沒關係的。No, no, no,in the aspect that um...不不不，我贊成......Safety standards are important when it comes to building people"s homes, who should be responsible for enforcing strict building codes, industrial government bodies or private industry?當談到房屋建築時，安全標準很重要，你認為在政府和私人開發商兩者中，誰應該承擔更多的監管責任？......I really don"t know much about it.我真的不知道啊。Just generally? -Do you understand what I"m saying?只是大致上？ - 你明白我在說什麼嗎？I understand what you"re saying, yeah...yeah.我明白啊。Is that somthing you can answer easily? -No...not without a thought.你認為容易回答嗎？ -如果不想一下的話不容易。I"m thinking government bodies, I think as opposed to private? -Are you sure? -I『m not quite sure，I『m not quite sure on that question.我想應該與私人承包商相反，應該是政府吧。-你確定？ -不，我再這個問題上不太確定。Waste management is becoming an increasingly difficult problem to solve amongst worlds』s cities, do you think the current process of landfills should be reformed, or should governments encourage different methods for citizens to increase sustainability?來源微信公眾號 二更英語。 城市垃圾管理對於世界各地的城市來說是一個越來越棘手的問題，你認為應該改革目前的垃圾堆填方案，還是應該由政府鼓勵居民通過多種渠道來提高可持續性呢？......To be honest I don"t really know because I"ve only really been to a few cities, so I don"t really, I don"t say, I"m not a expert on waste disposals, so I don"t know.說實話，我不知道，因為我只去過幾個城市，我也不是廢物處理專家，所以我不知道。OK, to be honest I can"t really remember the question.好吧，其實我不記得你說了啥Different methods to increase sustainability...That one, say that one again?應該是多種途徑的可持續性發展吧 你能再說一遍嗎？Sustainability? -sustainability.可持續性？-可持續性。What?啥？Um...I think they should actually look at different ways to manage waste but it"s not an easy question to answer.恩 我想應該是利用各種方法來管理垃圾，但這不是一個簡單的問題。Would you be surprised to know that, the question that I just asked you, is actually for IELTS, which is a test for non-native English speakers?加入你知道我剛才問你的問題是針對非英語母語者的雅思考試題目，你會感到驚訝嗎？Oh really？ Oh wow.真的嗎？哇。How do you feel about that?-It"s a bit ridiculous.感覺如何？-有點可笑吧。It"s a little bit too difficult I reckon, yeah, it"s a litte bit ridiculous actually.我覺得太難了，真的有點荒唐。I feel bad for them, they"re not gonna get in.-My comment, yes, I believe it"s very hard for non-English speaking people to comment, or to answer these questions.我為考生感到悲哀。-我認為對於非英語母語者這些問題太難了。Extremely complicated questions, and things that you know, even I would struggle to answer that.真的是極其複雜的問題，我回答的很糾結。You know, I had to get you to ask me that twice. If English was my second or third language, I had to feel like I was drowning with those questions, you know.
