TOEFL, IELTS, and TOEIC, comparing the standardized tests of English

International students and workers must take a standardized test of English to move into higher levels of education and employment. There are three popular tests that universities or employers can use. They are the Test of English as a Foreign Language, TOEFL, the Test of English for International Communication, TOEIC, and the International English Language Testing System, IELTS.
國(guó)際學(xué)生和國(guó)際工人為了接受更高水平的教育和進(jìn)入更高層次的就業(yè)單位，必須參加英語(yǔ)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試。大學(xué)或雇主可以采用三種流行的考試方式。它們分別是：托福（Test of English as a Foreign Language，簡(jiǎn)稱：TOEFL）；托業(yè)（Test of English for International Communication，簡(jiǎn)稱：TOEIC）；雅思（International English Language Testing System，簡(jiǎn)稱：IELTS）。
In most cases, the choice is clear. A student applying to a school learns which test the program requires. However, some programs or universities will accept scores from any of the international tests of English. Then, a student may choose which test to take.
在大多數(shù)情況下，怎么選擇是很清楚的。一個(gè)學(xué)生申請(qǐng)哪個(gè)學(xué)校，就要學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)學(xué)校所要求的考試。然而，有些項(xiàng)目或大學(xué)會(huì)認(rèn)可這三種英語(yǔ)國(guó)際測(cè)試成績(jī)中的任何一種。這時(shí)，學(xué)生可以自己選擇要參加哪個(gè)考試。
The TOEIC tests workplace communication
托業(yè)測(cè)試的是工作環(huán)境中的溝通能力
The Educational Testing Service, ETS, in Princeton, New Jersey, develops and administers both the TOEFL and the TOEIC. It says the TOEIC measures the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment.
位于新澤西州普林斯頓的美國(guó)教育考試服務(wù)中心(ETS)負(fù)責(zé)開(kāi)發(fā)和監(jiān)管托福和托業(yè)考試。托業(yè)考試衡量的是在國(guó)際環(huán)境中工作的人們的日常英語(yǔ)技能。
The TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry asked ETS to develop a test for corporations to use. They wanted to know if non-native English speakers could carry out business in English.
托業(yè)考試開(kāi)始于20世紀(jì)70年代。日本國(guó)際貿(mào)易和工業(yè)部(Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry)要求美國(guó)教育考試服務(wù)中心開(kāi)發(fā)一種供企業(yè)使用的考試。他們想知道非英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人是否能用英語(yǔ)從事商業(yè)活動(dòng)。
The TOEIC does not require knowledge of special business words
托業(yè)考試不需要特殊的商務(wù)詞匯方面的知識(shí)
The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting.
托業(yè)以工作場(chǎng)合所使用的英語(yǔ)為基礎(chǔ)。但是這個(gè)測(cè)試不需要特殊的商務(wù)詞匯方面的知識(shí)。考試試題源自實(shí)際情景，如參加公司會(huì)議等。
Organizations sometimes use the TOEIC to measure progress in English training programs. They also use it to consider people for placement at the right level in language programs. ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.
有些機(jī)構(gòu)有時(shí)用托業(yè)來(lái)衡量英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目的進(jìn)展。依據(jù)語(yǔ)言水平進(jìn)行職位配置時(shí)，他們也會(huì)使用托業(yè)考試。美國(guó)教育考試服務(wù)中心表示，150個(gè)國(guó)家的14000個(gè)組織使用托業(yè)考試。
The TOEFL tests English used in the classroom
托福測(cè)試的是課堂上使用英語(yǔ)的能力
There are several versions of the TOEFL.
托福考試有幾種形式。
TOEFL IBT
托福網(wǎng)考，即新托福
Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions.
學(xué)生在電腦上通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行考試(TOEFL IBT)。許多美國(guó)的大學(xué)在招收國(guó)際學(xué)生時(shí)都要求網(wǎng)考。
TOEFL ITP
學(xué)院托福
Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS's institutional testing program. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.
另一種托福考試形式是紙考(TOEFL ITP)。這是美國(guó)教育考試中心的學(xué)院托福。學(xué)院托福在院校中用于學(xué)生的實(shí)習(xí)或評(píng)估學(xué)生的進(jìn)步。它不作為大學(xué)錄取標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
TOEFL Junior Test
初中托福考試
For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior Test is for young people between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary Test is for those over the age of eight.
