This week, we received a question from Eric, a teacher in China.

本周,我们收到了中国的老师埃里克的提问。 

I am at a loss1 about how to use the following words correctly: score, mark, point, and grade. For example, if a student answers my question correctly in class,should I say, "I will give you two points for your success" or should I say, "I will give you two marks?"Another question: How should we call the numeral that we put on students test papers2? Is that a mark? Or grade? Or point? Or score?And can I say, "In this test, student As grade is two points higher than student Bs"?Or should I use "mark" or maybe "score" instead of "grade" in this situation?---Eric, China.

我不知道如何正确使用以下单词:score, mark,point,和grade。比如,当学生在课堂上正确回答了问题,我应该说:“我要为你的优秀表现给你加2分(points)” 还是说:“我给你2分(marks)?”另一个问题:我们应该如何称学生试卷上的数字?是 mark? grade? point? 还是score?而且我可以说:“这次考试中,学生A的分数(points)比学生B的要高2分吗”?还是在这种情况下,我应该用mark,或者可能是score,而非grade?——埃里克,中国。

Dear Eric, these are good questions.It is easy to mix up the many similar words connected to measuring student performance.

亲爱的埃里克:这些是好的问题。在衡量学生表现方面,我们很容易混淆许多相似的单词。 

First, I will give the meaning of each word. Then, I will answer your individual questions.

首先,我将给出每个单词的含义。然后,我将回答您的个人提问。 

A score is the total number of points that a student earns on a test or other schoolwork.

“score”(分数)是学生在某一门考试或其他功课中获得的总分。 

For example, suppose you are telling your students about an upcoming test.

例如,假设您要告诉学生临近的一场考试。 

You could say this: "Each section is worth 25 points, for a total score of 100."

您可以这样说:各部分占25分,总分是100分。” 

You can also use "score" as a verb3. In that case, it means4 to get points: "Elaine scored well on her science test."

“score”也可用作动词。这时指的是“拿分,得分”:“伊莱恩的科学考试得分很高。” 

The word "mark" is generally used in British English for the American word "grade."Both mean the same thing: a measure.Teachers in the United5 States are more likely to use the word "grade"for the number or letter that indicates how a student performed in a class or on a test. In the U.S., for example, many students get letter grades to represent6 their numeric score for a single paper or exam, as well as an entire term of study in a subject.

“ mark”一词通常用于英式英语,类似于美式英语中的 “ grade”一词。两者含义相同,都是指一种检验手段。美国教师更倾向于使用“grade”一词,来表示学生在课堂上或考试中的表现。例如,许多美国学生的单篇文章或考试成绩,以及一个课程整个学期的分数都是以“grade”这种字母等级来表示成绩的。

A point is a numeric unit that is used in tests and other schoolwork.We also use this word for classroom activities and games.

“point”(分数)是数字单位,可以用来表示测验及其他学校功课的表现。我们还可以用此词评价课堂活动和游戏效果。

For example, you asked about what to tell a student who has done well in class.

例如,您询问的关于如何表扬在课堂上表现出色的学生。 

I would say, "I will give you ten points for your correct answer."

我会说:“我要为你的正确答案加10分。” 

Or you might explain before you ask a question: "I will give you ten points if you answer this question correctly."

或者您可以在提问前先说明一下:“如果有人回答对问题,我就奖励10分。” 

Now lets go over a few differences.

现在,让我们讨论它们之间的一些区别。 

The difference between the words "grades" and "points" is that a grade is usually based on the number of points scored.For example, if 100 points is the total, and the student got between 90 and 100 points, the student gets an A grade.A grade of B would go to scores of 80 to 89, C is for 70 to 79, and so on.In the U.S., a grade is almost always represented7 by a letter, and points by numbers.

单词“grades”和 “points”之间的区别在于,“grades”通常是基于“points”所得的分数。例如,如果总分为100分,有学生得分在90到100分之间,那么该学生得到的就是A级(grade)成绩。B级成绩为80至89分,C级为70至79分,依此类推。在美国,几乎都是用字母等级表示成绩(grade),用数字表示分数。

When talking about the difference between two scores we could use a sentence like the one you asked about:

当谈论两个分数之间的差异时,我们可以用像你提到的那个问题: 

"Your score is five points higher this week than it was on last weeks test. You will get a good grade for the term."Thanks again for the questions, Eric. They were grade A!

“本周你的分数比上周考试的高出5分。你这学期会得到不错的学习等级的。”再次感谢您的提问,埃里克。他们都是A级成绩的!
