A community festival invited younger residents to explain the meaning of songs in both languages.
/ə kəˈmjunɪti ˈfɛstɪvəl ɪnˈvaɪtɪd ˈjʌŋɡɚ ˈɹɛzɪdənts tə ɪkˈspleɪn ðə ˈminɪŋ əv sɔŋz ɪn boʊθ ˈlæŋɡwɪd͡ʒɪz./
社区节日邀请年轻居民用两种语言解释歌曲的含义。
meaning — 保留结构，替换真实细节。At first, this looked like a small decision about culture, but its result soon became visible.
/æt fɚst, ðɪs lʊkt laɪk ə smɔl dɪˈsɪʒən əˈbaʊt ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ, bʌt ɪts ɹɪˈzʌlt sun bɪˈkeɪm ˈvɪzɪbəl./
起初，这看起来像是一个关于文化的小决定，但其结果很快就变得可见。
At first — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The case raises a broader question: how shared practices express identity and change.
/ðə keɪs ˈɹeɪzɪz ə ˈbɹɔdɚ ˈkwɛst͡ʃən: haʊ ʃɛɹd ˈpɹæktɪsɪz ɪkˈspɹɛs aɪˈdɛntɪti ænd t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ./
这一案例提出了一个更广泛的问题：共同做法如何表达特性和变化。
identity — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Clear information about culture helps people make better decisions.
/klɪɹ ˌɪnfɔɹˈmeɪʃən əˈbaʊt ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ hɛlps ˈpipəl meɪk ˈbɛtɚ dɪˈsɪʒənz./
有关文化的清晰信息可以帮助人们做出更好的决策。
clear — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The example draws attention to a local custom, which can shape how people respond to culture.
/ðə ɪɡˈzæmpəl dɹɔz əˈtɛnʃən tə ə ˈloʊkəl ˈkʌstəm, wɪt͡ʃ kən ʃeɪp haʊ ˈpipəl ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ./
这个例子提请注意当地的一种习俗，这种习俗可以决定人们如何对文化作出反应。
local custom — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A closer look at a cultural identity reveals a practical side of culture that general opinions often miss.
/ə ˈkloʊsɚ lʊk æt ə ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚəl aɪˈdɛntɪti ɹɪˈvilz ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl saɪd əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ðæt ˈd͡ʒɛnɚəl əˈpɪnjənz ˈɔftən mɪs./
仔细观察文化身份可以揭示一般观点常常忽略的文化的实际一面。
cultural identity — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The main benefit of a thoughtful response to culture is a result that people can actually observe.
/ðə meɪn ˈbɛnəfɪt əv ə ˈθɔtfəl ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ɪz ə ɹɪˈzʌlt ðæt ˈpipəl kən ˈækt͡ʃəli əbˈzɚv./
对文化作出深思熟虑的反应的主要好处是人们实际上能够观察到的结果。
benefit — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The main challenge is to respond to culture without creating a larger problem elsewhere.
/ðə meɪn ˈt͡ʃælɪnd͡ʒ ɪz tə ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ wɪˈðaʊt kɹiˈeɪtɪŋ ə ˈlɑɹd͡ʒɚ ˈpɹɑbləm ˈɛlˌswɛɹ./
主要的挑战是在别处不造成更大的问题的情况下对文化作出反应。
challenge — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Strong evidence helps people judge culture without relying on a single attractive story.
/stɹɔŋ ˈɛvədəns hɛlps ˈpipəl d͡ʒʌd͡ʒ ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ wɪˈðaʊt ɹiˈlaɪɪŋ ɔn ə ˈsɪŋɡəl əˈtɹæktɪv ˈstɔɹi./
强有力的证据帮助人们在不依赖单一的有吸引力的故事的情况下判断文化。
strong evidence — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The results indicate that the effects of culture are not identical for every group.
/ðə ɹɪˈzʌlts ˈɪndɪˌkeɪt ðæt ðə ɪˈfɛkts əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ɑɹ nɑt aɪˈdɛntɪkəl fɚ ˈɛvɹi ɡɹup./
结果表明，文化对每个群体的影响并不相同。
results indicate — 保留结构，替换真实细节。People usually notice the value of culture only after a real event changes their routine.
/ˈpipəl ˈjuʒəli ˈnoʊtɪs ðə ˈvælju əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ˈoʊnli ˈæftɚ ə ɹil ɪˈvɛnt ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒɪz ðɛɹ ɹuˈtin./
人们通常只有在真实事件改变他们的日常生活之后才会注意到文化的价值。
usually — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The immediate effect of culture may be easy to see, while the longer-term effect is often less obvious.
/ðə ɪˈmidiɪt ɪˈfɛkt əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ meɪ bi ˈizi tə si, waɪl ðə ˈlɔŋɡɚ tɚm ɪˈfɛkt ɪz ˈɔftən lɛs ˈɑbviəs./
文化的直接影响可能很容易看到，而较长期的影响往往不那么明显。
The immediate effect of — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A careful comparison uses the same standard for both choices and separates convenience from lasting value.
/ə ˈkɛɹfəl kəmˈpɛɹəsən ˈjuzɪz ðə seɪm ˈstændɚd fɚ boʊθ ˈt͡ʃɔɪsɪz ænd ˈsɛpɚˌeɪts kənˈvinjəns fɹʌm ˈlæstɪŋ ˈvælju./
仔细比较后，这两种选择都使用相同的标准，并将便利性与持久价值区分开来。
A careful comparison uses — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Once the difference is clear, a speaker can give a preference without pretending that the other option has no merit.
/wʌns ðə ˈdɪfɹəns ɪz klɪɹ, ə ˈspikɚ kən ɡɪv ə ˈpɹɛfɚəns wɪˈðaʊt pɹiˈtɛndɪŋ ðæt ðə ˈʌðɚ ˈɑpʃən hæz noʊ ˈmɛɹɪt./
一旦差异明显，发言者就可以给出偏好，而不必假装其他选项没有优点。
clear — 保留结构，替换真实细节。When discussing culture, people should explain why a clear explanation matters.
/wɛn dɪˈskʌsɪŋ ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ, ˈpipəl ʃʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ə klɪɹ ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən ˈmætɚz./
在讨论文化时，人们应该解释清楚的解释为何重要。
clear — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A useful question about culture focuses on what happened, why it matters, and what should happen next.
/ə ˈjusfəl ˈkwɛst͡ʃən əˈbaʊt ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ˈfoʊkəsɪz ɔn wʌt ˈhæpənd, waɪ ɪt ˈmætɚz, ænd wʌt ʃʊd ˈhæpən nɛkst./
关于文化的一个有用的问题集中在发生了什么、为什么重要以及接下来应该发生什么。
question — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A concrete example of culture makes the central idea easier to understand and evaluate.
/ə ˈkɑŋkɹit ɪɡˈzæmpəl əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ meɪks ðə ˈsɛntɹəl aɪˈdiə ˈiziɚ tə ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɪˈvæljuˌeɪt./
文化的具体例子使中心思想更容易理解和评估。
example — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The meaning of culture becomes clearer when people connect it to a real experience.
/ðə ˈminɪŋ əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ bɪˈkʌmz ˈklɪɹɚ wɛn ˈpipəl kəˈnɛkt ɪt tə ə ɹil ɪkˈspɪɹiəns./
当人们将文化与真实的经验联系起来时，文化的意义就变得更加明确。
meaning — 保留结构，替换真实细节。People need realistic support to maintain a balance between the benefits and costs of culture.
/ˈpipəl nid ˌɹiəˈlɪstɪk səˈpɔɹt tə meɪnˈteɪn ə ˈbæləns bɪˈtwin ðə ˈbɛnəfɪts ænd kɔsts əv ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ./
人们需要现实的支持来维持文化的收益和成本之间的平衡。
maintain a balance — 保留结构，替换真实细节。People can describe an experience when a real situation involving culture requires action.
/ˈpipəl kən dɪˈskɹaɪb ən ɪkˈspɪɹiəns wɛn ə ɹil ˌsɪt͡ʃuˈeɪʃən ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ɹiˈkwaɪɚz ˈækʃən./
当涉及文化的真实情况需要采取行动时，人们可以描述一种体验。
describe an experience — 保留结构，替换真实细节。People can compare two responses to culture only when they use the same criteria.
/ˈpipəl kən kəmˈpɛɹ tu ɹɪˈspɑnsɪz tə ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ˈoʊnli wɛn ðeɪ juz ðə seɪm kɹaɪˈtɪɹiə./
人们只有使用相同的标准才能比较两种对文化的反应。
compare — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The most practical lesson is that culture should be judged through real effects rather than attractive slogans.
/ðə moʊst ˈpɹæktɪkəl ˈlɛsən ɪz ðæt ˈkʌlt͡ʃɚ ʃʊd bi d͡ʒʌd͡ʒd θɹu ɹil ɪˈfɛkts ˈɹæðɚ ðən əˈtɹæktɪv ˈsloʊɡənz./
最实际的教训是，应当通过实际效果而不是有吸引力的口号来判断文化。
rather than — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Good decisions connect a clear purpose with evidence, human experience, and the willingness to revise a weak approach.
/ɡʊd dɪˈsɪʒənz kəˈnɛkt ə klɪɹ ˈpɚpəs wɪθ ˈɛvədəns, ˈhjumən ɪkˈspɪɹiəns, ænd ðə ˈwɪlɪŋnəs tə ɹɪˈvaɪz ə wik əˈpɹoʊt͡ʃ./
好的决定会把明确目标、事实证据、人的真实经验，以及修正薄弱方案的意愿联系起来。
evidence — 保留结构，替换真实细节。When those parts stay connected, the topic becomes easier to discuss in daily conversation and in an IELTS answer.
/wɛn ðoʊz pɑɹts steɪ kəˈnɛktɪd, ðə ˈtɑpɪk bɪˈkʌmz ˈiziɚ tə dɪˈskʌs ɪn ˈdeɪli ˌkɑnvɚˈseɪʃən ænd ɪn ən aɪ ɛl ti ɛs ˈænsɚ./
