The most important part of the test is: answer the question.
考试最重要的部分就是回答问题。
They give you a task, answer it, answer it clearly, concisely, means: use fewer words, not more words.
他们给你们一个任务，回答它，清晰简洁地回答，即少用一些单词，不要多用单词。
If you can say the same thing in fewer words, get the message across, make it clear, make the reader interested,
如果你们能用更少的单词表达同样的事情，讲清楚信息，使它清晰明了，能让读者产生兴趣，
then you'll get higher points than if you write something like this. Okay?
那么你们就能得到比写出这样的东西更高的分数。
Let's look at this sentence: "The CEO's time was cut short because he wouldn't promote women to top positions, which angered the Board who then fired him."
我们来看看这个句子"The CEO's time was cut short because he wouldn't promote women to top positions, which angered the Board who then fired him."（首席执行官在公司的任期被缩短了，因为他不愿让更多的女性进入高层管理职位，因此惹怒了董事会，他们将他罢免了。）
Okay, look at the two sentences, this sentence means exactly the same thing as this sentence.
好了，来看看这两个句子，这个句子和上一个句子的意思完全一样。
Much shorter, much simpler words, much more direct delivery of the message.
它简短得多，使用的单词更简单，表达信息更加直接。
Now, "tenure", "time", same thing.
"tenure"和"time"指的是同一个东西。
Tenure's a nice word, but if you're not going to use it correctly, then you're going to lose points, not gain points.
"tenure"是个好词，但是如果你们不能正确使用的话，就会丢分而不是得分。
Better to write "time", and get the message across, than to write "tenure" and use a word incorrectly,
比起"tenure"，还是写"time"更好，能够讲清楚信息，如果单词使用不正确，
which means you don't actually know it, and you make the whole sentence confusing to the reader.
也就是说你们实际上不懂这个单词的意思，那你们会让读者对整个句子感到困惑。
So you're actually doing two bad things, we call this a "double-whammy", in case you need extra expressions.
所以你们实际上做了两件坏事，我们把这种行为叫做"double-whammy"（双重打击），以防你们需要额外的表达。
A double-whammy means you're hurting yourself twice, okay, so don't do that.
"double-whammy"的意思是你在伤害自己两次，知道了吗？所以不要那么做。
"Ire", just say "angered", now, if you can use the word "angered", this is a high-end word.
"Ire"这个单词，直接用"angered"代替就可以了，如果你们能使用"angered"这个单词，这是个很高端的词。
Now, you're thinking: "Angry? 'Angry' is not a high-end word."
你们可能会想：“Angry？'Angry'可不是个高端的词。”
Yes, but I didn't say "angry", I said "angered".
没错，但我说的不是"angry"，我说的是"angered"。
If you could show the graders that you know this word so well that you know how to use it as a verb...
如果你们能展示给阅卷人看你们非常了解这个单词，以至于你们知道如何把它用作一个动词......
because most people don't, most people only know "angry" or "anger", the noun, very few people use this word as a verb.
因为大多数人不知道，大部分人只知道"angry" 或 "anger"作为名词的形式，很少有人会把这个单词用作动词。
Use this word as a verb, and you have your high-end vocabulary, you get your extra points.
把这个单词用作动词，那你们就有了你们的高端词汇，就能得到额外的分数。
Use "ire" incorrectly and you're actually losing points. Okay?
使用"ire"不正确的话，你们实际上就在丢分，知道了吗？
Same idea, fewer words, simple words, the message is clear and to the point.
同样的想法，更少的单词，简单的单词，这样信息就很清晰并且正中要点。
