剑桥雅思 11 Test4 Section3

【1】…they’d done quite extensive tours in different continents, and quite a few had won prizes and competitions as well.

I wasn’t specifically looking for artists who’d produced recordings, but this is something that’s just taken for granted these days, and they all had.

extensive tours in different continents = toured in many parts of the world 同义替换。

quite a few≠all 全部，绝对词陷阱

produced recordings = made recordings，所有人都录制过唱片。

【2】I realised if I was going to interview leading musicians it’d only be possible over the phone because they’re so busy.

…it was all quite informal though and in fact they seemed very keen to talk.

only be possible over the phone = only practical way to reach them。

keen to talk = happy to talk。

worried about quality, but worked out all right≠ excellent

【3】I’d like to investigate the impact of what was worn on those listening… also whether someone like a violinist might adopt a different style of clothing from, say, someone playing the flute or trumpet.

those listening = audience；impact = reactions 观众对着装的反应。

【4】…a lot of the men are very much influenced by fashion, but in social terms the choices they have are more limited… they’d really upset audiences if they strayed away from quite narrow boundaries.

【5】…they often have to wear less feminine clothes, because otherwise they’d just be discounted as trivial.

…to show a kind of esteem for the audience.

esteem = respect

【6】I’d imagine some features of sports clothing could safeguard the players from the potentially dangerous effects of this sort of thing.

safeguard from dangerous effects = protect against physical injury

quite a few≠all
