欢迎来到今天的VOA慢速专区。

今天为大家带来一篇关于英语学习的文章。

This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question from Felippe in Brazil.

在本周《名师答疑》节目中，我们要回答来自巴西的费利佩提出的一个问题。

He says:

他说：

Hi! I'm from Barra do Piraí, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I have a little question:

你好！我来自巴西里约热内卢的皮拉伊河畔巴拉，我有一个小问题：

What is the difference between a magazine and a journal? Thanks!

“magazine”和“journal”有什么区别？谢谢！

Hello Felippe,

你好，费利佩，

There are several differences between these two kinds of publications.

这两种出版物之间有几个不同之处。

Magazines contain things like news, interviews, essays, how-to guides, pictures and advertisements.

“Magazines”中包含诸如新闻，采访，散文，操作指南，图片和广告之类的内容。

Magazines are usually published weekly or monthly.

“Magazines”通常是周刊或月刊。

They are aimed at the general public and use language that most of the public can easily understand.

其针对的是普通大众，使用的语言是大部分公众容易理解的。

The articles are written by professional writers and reporters.

上面的文章是由专业作家和记者撰写的。

Some are experts on the subjects they are writing about.

其中一些人是他们所写主题方面的专家。

But many are not.

但很多人并非如此。

Suppose, for example, someone is writing a health-related story for a magazine.

例如，假设某人正在为一家杂志写一篇与健康有关的文章。

The person may gather information by speaking to health experts, reading about the subject on the internet and looking at study reports.

那他可以通过与健康专家交谈、在互联网上阅读有关该主题的内容以及查看研究报告来收集信息。

They may even include information from press releases on the subject.

人们甚至可能从关于该主题的新闻稿中获取信息。

That is very different from a journal.

那和“journal”截然不同。

A journal is a publication aimed at researchers, academics and experts in a professional field.

“journal”是针对某一专业领域的研究人员、学者和专家的出版物。

Journals contain reports that describe original research and study findings.

“Journals”中包含描述原创研究和研究结果的报告。

For example, a team of social scientists might study how COVID-19 has affected people's desire to spend time in groups.

例如，一个社会科学家团队可能会研究新冠肺炎如何影响人们对与群体共度时光的渴望。

A team of insect experts might study how chemical products are affecting bees.

一个昆虫专家团队可能会研究化学产品如何影响蜜蜂。

One or more people from these teams then writes a report describing the study and its results.

然后，这些团队中的一个或多个成员会写一份描述这项研究及其结果的报告。

These reports contain formal language and technical terms known within a particular field.

这些报告包含某一特定领域内的正式用语和专业术语。

Most journal articles are also peer-reviewed.

“journal”上的大多数文章也要经同行评审。

That means they are carefully examined by other researchers from a specific field before they are approved for publication.

这意味着这些文章在被批准发表之前要经过特定领域的其他研究人员的仔细审查。

Most journals are published just a few times each year.

大多数“journals”每年只出版几次。

There is something else called a "trade journal".

还有一种叫做“行业刊物”的东西。

This is not the same as an academic journal.

它和学术期刊不一样。

Trade journals are publications that promote education and skills within a specific trade or industry.

行业刊物是特定行业内促进教育和技能的出版物。

And that's Ask a Teacher for this week.

以上就是本周《名师答疑》的全部内容。
