大家在学习雅思的过程当中，会有很多需要背诵的单词、搭配，实际上有很多大家本已经熟悉的单词，也有其他很恰当的含义/或相关习语可以用于你的答案之中。本期我们就来给大家介绍一下雅思口语核心词汇当中的score单词。

score一词很多小伙伴还只知道它是“得分，打分（v.）、分数（n.）”的意思。但score不管是作动词还是名词，都有其他比较常用的含义。我们先来看看score作名词，除了表示“分数”以外，它还可以指数量“二十”，与dozen（十二，一打）比较相似。比如：

A score of people lost their lives when disaster struck.

It’s a small car park, which can roughly accommodate a score of cars.

但需要注意的是，如果是scores of，则是指many, a lot of（许多）。比如我们在讨论在网络PO出自己的问题，会得到很多的建议时：

If you post your problems online, on a social networking website, for example, you’ll receive scores of suggestions.

在雅思口语中讨论如今的人们是否乐于助人时：

The thing is, I noticed that scores of volunteers offered to help during the lockdown.

再比如聊到城市里如春笋般涌现的咖啡馆以及某个网站的丰富资源时：

Scores of independent coffee houses and bakeries started sprouting up all over the city.

I love visiting this website coz there’re scores of educational videos for learning languages.

当score作名词和动词时，有“谱曲，配乐”的意思，因此，我们在讨论到电影、戏剧中的音乐时可以直接用这个词，从而避免过多使用music，song。比如在报道近日去世的日本音乐大师坂本龙一时，某外刊中提到了他在电影配乐方面的影响和成就：

Mr Sakamoto agreed to act in the movie Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence on the condition that he could score it. 【Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence《圣诞快乐，劳伦斯先生》是1983年上映的一部剧情片，坂本龙一是主演之一。】

As a composer of epic film scores, he enlivened the work of directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci.【贝尔纳多·贝尔托卢奇，意大利编剧、电影导演，奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片与最佳导演】

再比如我们讨论电影描述到电影配乐时：

Though I’m not impressed by its storyline, I think its original score is one of the best.

This film deserves all these glowing reviews. In fact, the film won awards for best director and best original score.

If you ask me, I’d say the film score definitely plays a role in its success.
