Hello and welcome back. I'm Dennis with bestmytest. com.

你好，欢迎回来。我是 bestmytest.com 的 Dennis。

And today we're continuing our talk about the IELTS speaking test. Today's topic, photography.

今天我们将继续谈论雅思口语考试。今天的话题是摄影。

So this is. . . I'm gonna show you some vocabulary and things to say if you're asked a question about photography, such as do you like taking pictures, do you prefer to take the pictures yourself, or to have somebody else take them, how do you take a photo with a camera or a phone, or do you want to learn photography. Let's get started.

所以这是......我要向你展示一些可以说的词汇和内容，如果有人问你关于摄影的问题，例如你喜欢拍照吗，你更喜欢自己拍照还是让别人给你拍，你如何用相机或手机拍照，或者你想学习摄影吗。我们开始吧。

The first one is a verb to snap pictures with my phone and that, to snap here means to do it very quickly. And we'll even say sometimes to snap a quick picture with my phone.

第一个是动词，用我的手机拍摄照片，这里 snap 的意思是快速完成。我们甚至有时会说用我的手机快速拍照。

So if you were asked, you know, how do you take pictures with a camera or your phone, you might answer something like, well, I usually use my camera to take pictures, but if I'm in a rush, I might just snap a quick picture with my phone. Next one is photogenic.

如果有人问你，你知道，你如何用相机或手机拍照，你可能会这样回答，嗯，我通常会用相机拍照，但是如果我很着急，我可能会用手机快速拍张照片。下一个词是上镜的。

And this is an adjective and we use this to describe somebody who takes good pictures. And I don't mean the person taking the picture.

这是一个形容词，我们用它来形容拍出好照片的人。但我并不是说拍照片的人。

I mean the person in the picture, right, so somebody who looks good in a photo is photogenic. So if you were asked do you want to learn. . . how do you want to learn photography, you might say, yeah, I really want to learn photography, because I see so many photogenic people around me and I really think that if I learned how to do it properly, I could take great pictures.

我的意思是在照片里的人，没错，也就是说在照片里看起来不错的人是上镜的。因此如果有人问你，你是否要学习......你想如何学习摄影，你可能会说，是的，我真的很想学习摄影，因为我周围有很多上镜的人，我真的认为如果我学会了如何正确地拍照，那么我可以拍出很棒的照片。

The next is picturesque, picturesque. Now here before we go on with this one, I'm going to give you a little warning here.

下一个词是风景如画的，风景如画的。在我们继续讲这个之前，我要在这里给你一点警告。

Um, you want to be sure to say picture esque, right, and not picture squee. That's a very common mistake.

你务必要确保说对，是 picture esque，没错，而不是 picture squee。一个很常见的错误。

I made that mistake as a native English speaker when I first saw this word back in the day, made a total fool out of myself. So don't do that, so picture-esque.

我作为母语者第一次看到这个词的时候就说错了，犯傻了。所以不要这么做，所以是 picture-esque。

And what is picturesque? And that just means when you see a scene or a person that would make the perfect photo, something on a postcard, for example.

那么什么是风景如画的呢？那意味着你看到一个可以拍出完美照片的场景或人，例如明信片上的东西。

So if you were asked do you like taking photos, you might say, well, I don't usually like taking photos, but sometimes I see a picturesque village and I gotta get out my phone and just start snapping quick pictures, for example. All right, next is avid photographer.

所以如果有人问你是否喜欢拍照，你可能会说，嗯，我通常不喜欢拍照，但有时我会看到风景如画的村庄，那么我一定会拿出我的手机，然后开始快速拍照片。好的，接下来是狂热的摄影师。

Okay, so photographer, of course, is a person who takes pictures, a person who takes photos and avid here is something that it means very passionate about. Avid means very passionate about.

好的，所以摄影师当然是指一个拍照的人拍照，而这里狂热的意思是非常热爱。狂热的意味着非常热爱。

So you could be an avid photographer. You could also be an avid bird watcher.

所以你可以是一个狂热的摄影师。你也可以是一个狂热的观鸟者。

You could also be an avid netflix consumer. You could be an avid almost anything.

你也可以是狂热的网飞客户。你几乎可以是一个狂热的任何人。

But here you put a noun like a person, a collector, or bird watcher, watcher, that kind of thing. So um, again, if you're asked the question do you want to learn photography, you might say you know my uncle is an avid photographer and he is always out there getting into interesting situations.

但是在这里你用的是一个名词，例如一个人，收集者，或观鸟者，观察者，诸如此类。如果有人问你，你想学习摄影吗，你可能会说，你知道，我叔叔是位狂热的摄影师，他总是会遇到有趣的情况。

And it really inspires me to follow in his footsteps, footsteps and learn how to how to take good pictures as well. All right, so this is kind of an interesting one and it's kind of something that happens to a lot of, a lot of people and they don't know what to do about it.

这确实激励着我跟随他的脚步，脚步，并学习如何拍摄好照片。好的，这是一个有趣的事情，发生在很多人身上的事情，他们不知道该怎么办。

And it's probably happened to you if you've ever taken a picture on a sunny day. And that means to be always squinting when someone is taking pictures.

这可能发生在你身上，如果你曾经在阳光明媚的日子拍照。而这意味着有人拍照时总是眯着眼睛。

And so squinting here, it means like when the eyes get real small. Right, if we're standing in the full sun and we're taking pictures, we want to close our eyes.

而这里眯起眼睛的意思是眼睛变得很小。如果我们站在阳光下，我们正在拍照，我们想要闭上眼睛。

And here it's when someone is taking pictures of and I say object. And what do I mean by object?

在这里我要说某人正在拍，然后我说宾语。我说宾语是什么意思？

That means well you need to know what the subject is. If the subject is I, I am always squinting, then here you're going to put me.

这意味着你要知道主语是什么。如果主语是 I，那么你要用 me。

And if the question is he is always squinting, then here you're going to put him. So you need the object pronoun for whatever matches the subject.

如果问题是他总是眯着眼睛，那么在这里你要用 him。所以你要用任何跟主语匹配的宾语作代词。

Now funny story, uh, about three weeks ago, my family got together and we actually went out to the park to do a photo shoot. And it was a full sunny day.

有一个有趣的故事，大约三周之前，我一家人聚在一起，我们其实是去公园拍照。那是一个阳光明媚的日子。

And I got the pictures back and I was literally squinting in all the pictures. It was terrible.

我把照片拿回来，而我真的是每张照片都眯着眼睛。那真是太可怕了。

It was really terrible, really not happy with that. Okay, moving on.

真的很可怕，真的很不满意。好的，继续讲。

Next one is to like to take selfies. Now of course a selfie is a photo that you take of yourself.

下一个是喜欢拍自拍。当然，自拍指的是你自己给自己拍的照片。

And this is something I have group here in parentheses, because you can do this solo or you can do it, you know when you're out with your friends and to capture the moment, you might take a group selfie. Now so to take a group selfie is a little bit different than to like to take a group selfie.

我在这里把它归类于插入语，因为你可以单独这么做，也可以在跟朋友出去玩并且要捕捉某个瞬间，那么你可能会拍一张集体自拍。所以集体自拍与喜欢集体自拍有一点差别。

There's a little bit of nuance there. So if you were asked the question you know do you prefer to take photos of yourself or to have other people take them of you, well, you might say, you know, unless it's a really special occasion, I prefer to take photos of myself.

这里有点细微差别。如果有人问你，你知道你更喜欢给自己拍照还是让别人给你拍照，那么你可以说，你知道，除非情况特殊，我更喜欢给自己拍照。

I prefer to take selfies of me and my friends, because I think that's just a really special way to make taking the photo a part of the moment itself. Okay, moving on.

我更喜欢给我和我的朋友们自拍，因为我认为这是使拍照成为那一刻一部分的一种非常特别的方法。好的，继续讲。

So next to use filters when you're taking a photo, a picture with, that means with, your phone. Now here the filters are the pre-programmed settings in your phone.

下一个是用手机拍照时使用滤镜。现。这里的滤镜指的是你手机里的预设。

It could be black and white, sepia, landscape, selfie. There's all different kinds of filters.

它可能是黑白的，深褐色的，风景，自拍。有各种各样的滤镜。

You might give it a blue tint or could do a lot of different things with the phones that we have these days. So if you're asked, you know, do you like taking po. . . photos, you can say, well, I do actually like to take a lot of photos in most situations, but I really like to dig into my phone and use the filters that my phone has when taking pictures.

如今你可能会用手机给它一个蓝色的色调，或者对它做很多不同的处理。所以如果有人问你，你知道的，你喜欢拍照吗，你可以说，嗯，我确实喜欢在大多数情况下拍很多照片，但我真的很喜欢在拍照的时候用我手机的滤镜。

I really find that to be an added layer of enjoyment on taking. . . on taking pictures. Okay, so now these last two are fundamental to taking a good picture.

我发现这真的能给拍摄增添乐趣。好的，现在是最后两个拍好照片的基础。

Fundamental, and then this one is to make sure the picture is in focus. Now in focus, what does that mean?

很重要，然后这一步就是要确保照片聚焦。什么叫聚焦呢？

That means the. . . the subject, the primary subject of the photo is sharp and clear. I don't know about you, but I've gotten some photos back that I thought were good, but you know, I was all blurry or my kid was all blurry and you know, the tree that I didn't care about was in perfect focus.

意思是主体，照片的主体要清晰。我不知道你怎么样，但是我以前拍过一些我本以为还不错的照片，但你知道，我都模糊了，或者我的孩子都模糊了，你知道，我不在乎的树却聚焦得十分完美。

So make sure the picture is in focus. And if you were asked, you know, do you want to learn photography, you might say, I'm really. . . I kind of want to learn photography, but I'm also a little intimidated about it, because I have a real problem making sure the picture's in focus every time I take a picture.

因此请确保图片处于清晰聚焦状态。如果有人问你，你知道，你想学习摄影吗，你可能会说，我真的很想学习摄影，但是我对此也有些害怕，因为每次我拍照的时候我很难聚焦清晰。

It just turns out really blurry and really bad and people don't like it when I do that, for example. All right, last one is to pose.

事实证明，照片真的很模糊，很糟糕，当我拍照时，人们不喜欢它。好的，最后一个是摆姿势。

Now, so this is you can take a a picture and you can pose for the picture, and that's where you, you know, you can kind of get into your striking pose or whatever. And you pose for the picture.

这指的是你拍照，你可以为拍照摆姿势，你知道的，你会摆好姿势。你为拍照摆姿势。

Now you might pose or you might, um, the the photographer, or if it's you and you're taking a selfie, you might say strike a pose. And that just means to like to find a pose very quickly.

你可能会摆姿势，或者摄影师，或者如果是你并且你正在自拍照，你可能会说摆个姿势。这指的是快速找到姿势。

To strike a pose means to find a pho. . . a pose very quickly. So you can pose for a photo or you can kind of take, um, a natural photo where maybe somebody's taking pictures of you playing with your kids or playing with your friends at the park or whatever, and it's not a posed photo.

摆个姿势的意思是快速找到姿势。所以你可以摆姿势拍照，或者你可以拍一张自然的照片，也许有人在拍你和你的孩子一起玩耍，或者和你的朋友在公园玩或其他情况，反正不是摆姿势的照片。

You're not posing for the photo. You're just going about your life naturally normally.

你并没有为照片摆姿势。你只是自然地，正常地拍生活照。

So those are some good good words and good phrases to use to answer questions about photography. So let's put that into an IELTS context.

所以这些都是一些用来回答关于摄影的问题的好词和好短语。让我们将其放到雅思的语境中。

If you were asked do you like taking pictures, you could answer, I really like taking pictures. I really love to pose for photos.

如果有人问你是否喜欢拍照，你可以回答，我真的很喜欢拍照。我真的喜欢摆姿势拍照。

And I think it's really fun when the photographer tells us to strike a pose, strike a tiger pose or strike an angry pose, something like that. I think it's a really fun way, my friend, though, he won't have any of it.

我认为摄影师告诉我们要摆姿势，摆一个老虎姿势或要生气的姿势，或诸如此类的姿势，我觉得这样很有趣。我认为这是非常有趣的方式，但是我的朋友却不这么想。

He will never take a posed photo. They've always got to be natural.

他永远不会拍一张摆姿势的照片。他们总是很自然。

Let's talk about a few more words about photography and cameras and phones. The first one is lens.

我们再谈谈跟摄影和照相机和手机有关的单词吧。第一个是镜头。

Now every camera has to have a lens. It's the thing that the light goes through, that allows you to take the picture.

每个相机都必须有一个镜头。它是让光线穿过的东西，使你可以拍照的东西。

Now we don't really talk about lens when we're talking about the phone, we're taking a picture with the phone. And the reason we don't talk about it is because we. . . there's usually not anything we can do with it.

我们在谈论用手机拍照时不会谈论镜头。我们之所以不谈论它的原因是我们通常无法对它做什么。

Versus an older camera or not even older, but like I think it's called DSL cameras or DSR cameras. They're the big 35 millimeter cameras and those they have detachable lenses that you can put off and maybe they're. . . maybe one is a zoom lens.

与较旧的相机或者甚至更旧的相机相比，我认为这叫做 DSL相机或 DSR 相机。它们是 35 毫米相机，并且它们有可拆卸的镜头，可能是一个变焦镜头。

And zoom means that it can go out and see very far away. It can zoom out.

而变焦意味着它可以看很远。它可以变焦。

It can. . . it can see very far away. Or it can zoom in.

它可以看到很远的地方。或者它可以放大。

Excuse me. So you might have a zoom lens that you take off and put on.

不好意思。所以你可能会有一个可以拆卸的变焦镜头。

But usually when you have a camera, the lens is one of the most expensive parts. So if you have. . . if you know a friend who's an average photographer, I am sure that they are very protective of their lenses.

但是通常如果你有相机，镜头是最昂贵的零件之一。所以如果你有......如果你认识一个普通的摄影师朋友，我相信他们会非常保护自己的镜头。

And so even though, we. . . a phone doesn't have a lens or like a a removable lens, it does have zoom like you can zoom on your phone, you know, five times, ten times, or what. . . what not and that just means to zoom in to get closer to something. The next is resolution.

因此即使我们的手机没有镜头或类似可移动的镜头，但它确实可以变焦，就像你可以在你的手机上放大，五倍，十倍或多少倍，那只是意味着要放大来靠近某物。接下来是分辨率。

And resolution is just talks about the quality of the picture. So a high resolution photo is going to have less noise, less pixelation.

而分辨率只是谈论图片的质量。因此高分辨率照片噪点更少，像素更少。

If you're using a digital camera and you probably are, so there'll be less pixels that are visible. And a lower resolution photo is going to look grainy.

如果你使用的是数码相机，那么会看到更少的像素。而较低分辨率的照片看起来会显得粗糙。

That's a good word to use, grainy. A grainy photo is a photo that we can kind of see lots of dots, like grains of something.

用颗粒状的，这是个好词。粗糙的照片指的是我们可以看到很多点，例如很多颗粒状的东西。

Okay, and so for example, if you were asked, you know, do you prefer to you. . . do you prefer to use a phone or a camera, you might say something like, well, although a phone is really useful to use, I prefer my 35 millimeter camera. And the main reason is because I have very. . . I have many lenses that I can use to take different kinds of pictures.

好的，例如，如果有人问，你知道，你喜欢用手机还是相机，你可能会说，嗯，虽然手机真的很有用，但是我更喜欢我的 35 毫米相机。主要原因是因为我拥有非常多的镜片可以用来拍摄不同种类的照片。

And I have a zoom lens that can zoom 30 times and still take a high resolution picture. It's a great camera.

我有一个变焦镜头，可以变焦30倍，但仍然可以拍高分辨率的照片。这是一台很棒的相机。

All right, so more. . . some more parts of a camera, so tripod. Tripod, tripod, tripod.

好的，所以还有更多的相机零件，如三脚架。三脚架，三脚架，三脚架。

These are those three legged camera holders. And I say tripod, tripod, tripod, because they are essential for taking a good picture.

这些是三只脚的相机支架。我说三脚架，三脚架，三脚架，因为它们对于拍一张好照片来说是必不可少的。

If you are. . . want to take any kind of, you know, family photo or something on your own, you're gonna need a tripod. And these are really really useful.

如果你......想要拍任何，你知道的，全家福照片，或自己的东西，那么你需要一个三脚架。这些真的非常有用。

They're usually. . . they have extendable feet, so you can adjust the height. They have often a neck that you can roll up and down that'll extend the height, a little bit more even, great tool for, for even like a novice photographer.

它们通常有可伸展的脚，因此你可以调整高度。它们通常经常有脖子，你可以上下滚动，增加高度，对于新手摄影师来说，也是一个很棒的工具。

And the next is flash and this is the light that goes off that flashes. When you take a picture at the same time that just adds a bit of light to change, to make the picture look better, supposedly.

下一个是闪光灯，这是指可以闪烁的灯。当你拍照片的时候稍微改变一下光线，使图片看起来更漂亮。

I personally think most. . . most pictures of flash don't end up looking better. That's just my opinion.

我个人认为大多数有闪光灯的照片最终不会看起来更好看。这只是我的意见。

So, um, if you're asked, you know, what what equipment do you. . . do you have to have as an avid photographer, you might say, well, you know, the lens is important, of course. That is the most important thing.

所以，如果有人问你，你知道，一个狂热的摄影师你必须要有什么设备，你可能会说，嗯，当然镜头很重要。那是最重要。

But after that, it's got to be my tripod, because there's nothing like being able to take a stable solid picture. And after that, if it's a little bit dark, I would have to bring my flash.

但那之后一定是我的三脚架，因为它能让我拍出稳定的照片。那之后，如果有一点暗，我得带上我的闪光灯。

All right, last one, this is kind of a fun bonus, and I. . . I hope you've done this, because it's pretty fun to do it. And that's to photobomb somebody.

好的，这算是一个额外的福利，我希望你这么做过，因为这样做很有趣。那就是照片炸弹。

And that means when you see. . . you're in public, maybe you know them, maybe you don't, and you see people like getting together to take a photo, and you. . . you kind of come behind them, and you get in the picture, and you make a little funny face, just. . . just likefunny games. And so, um, if. . . if you were asking, do you like taking pictures, you'd be like, I don't really like taking pictures of myself or having pictures taken of me, but I absolutely love photobombing other people.

这指的是当你看到......你在公开场合，也许你认识他们，也许你不认识，当你看到人们喜欢聚在一起拍照，你就跟在他们后面，你进入图片，然后你做一个有趣的表情，就是个有趣的游戏。如果有人问你，你是否喜欢拍照，你会说，我真的不喜欢给自己拍照，或让别人给我拍照，但我绝对喜欢照片炸弹。

I just think it's a fun way to kind of make things playful and fun. All right, that is IELTS speaking on photography.
