114 移民特考三等 移民行政(選試日文) 日文 考古題詳解
第 一 題25 分
一、次の日本語を中国語に訳しなさい。
(一) 占い大国の台湾。人生の重要事を占いで決める人も少なからずいて、その本気度は日本の比ではありません。龍山寺や行天宮などの大寺院近くには占いの館がずらりと並ぶ地下街があり、占い方も実にさまざま。手相や風水などの定番のほか、紫微斗数や米粒など、とにかく独特な占いがいっぱい! なかでもぜひ体験したいのが、愛らしい小鳥にお伺いを立てる文鳥占い。(10分)
(二) 十二月は「師走」ともいう。年の暮れが迫り、僧がお経を唱えるために各地を忙しく走り回ることに由来する。たしかに、年越しの品物や料理、歳暮の贈り物を用意したり、大掃除をしたりと、年末はなにかと忙しくなる。日本では、この一年世話になった礼の意味で年末に贈り物をする習慣があり、これを歳暮という。一般的には世話になった相手や年配の人に贈ることが多い。昔は相手の家に行って贈り物を手渡ししていたが、今は百貨店などの店にお願いし、宅配便で届けてもらうことのほうが多い。また、歳暮は一般的に毎年同じ相手に贈るもので、一度限りではない。(15分)

第一題 日文中譯
(一)占い大国の台湾
核心觀念
本段考查:
- 「人生の重要事」:人生中的重要事情。
- 「その本気度は日本の比ではありません」:「比ではない」表示程度遠遠超過比較對象。
- 「ずらりと並ぶ」:整齊、連續排列。
- 「定番」:固定、常見的項目。
- 「お伺いを立てる」:請示、求取神諭或占卜指示。
- 「文鳥」:一種小型鳥類,中文通常譯為「文鳥」。
翻譯時應掌握原文介紹台灣占卜文化的語氣,保留「占卜種類繁多」及「文鳥占卜值得體驗」的推薦意味。
解題方法
本段先介紹台灣盛行占卜,再說明占卜場所、占卜方式,最後聚焦於文鳥占卜。翻譯時依照原文的敘述順序處理,並將日文慣用表現轉換成自然的臺灣中文。
「占い大国」不宜直譯為「占卜大國」後便停止,應結合後文譯為「盛行占卜的國家」或「占卜大國」;「日本の比ではありません」則應譯出「遠非日本所能相比」的比較強度。
參考譯文
台灣是個占卜大國。有人甚至會透過占卜來決定人生中的重要事情,這種認真程度遠非日本所能相比。在龍山寺、行天宮等大型寺廟附近,有地下街整排林立著占卜館,占卜的方法也形形色色。除了手相、風水等常見項目之外,還有紫微斗數、米粒占卜等,總之充滿了各式各樣獨具特色的占卜!
其中,最值得一試的,便是請可愛的小鳥替自己請示的文鳥占卜。
解題技巧
- 「人生の重要事」中的「事」不是單純的「事情」而已,應譯為「重要事情」或「人生大事」。
- 「その本気度」的「その」承接前文,指人們對占卜的重視與認真程度,不是指「占卜本身的程度」。
- 「日本の比ではありません」不可弱化為「和日本不一樣」,應譯為「遠勝日本」「日本遠遠比不上」。
- 「地下街があり」是說有地下街,且該地下街排列著許多占卜館,不是「寺廟地下有一間占卜館」。
- 「実にさまざま」有「非常多樣、形形色色」之意。
- 「なかでもぜひ体験したいのが」是推薦句型,可譯為「其中尤其值得體驗的是」。
- 「お伺いを立てる」不可譯成一般的「詢問小鳥」,應表現出透過小鳥求取占卜指示的意思。
(二)十二月與「師走」
核心觀念
本段考查:
- 「師走」:日本對十二月的別稱。
- 「由来する」:源自、起因於。
- 「年の暮れ」:年末、歲末。
- 「年越し」:跨年、迎接新年。
- 「歳暮」:歲末贈禮,也可指歲末送禮的習慣。
- 「世話になった礼の意味で」:為了表示對一年中承蒙照顧的謝意。
- 「手渡しする」:親手交付。
- 「一度限りではない」:不是只有一次,表示每年持續贈送。
本段同時說明「師走」名稱的由來,以及日本歲暮送禮的對象、方式與持續性。
解題方法
翻譯時應分成三個層次:
第 二 題25 分
二、次の中国語を日本語に訳しなさい(漢字に振り仮名を付けなさい)。
(一) 生在臺灣這樣一個講求自由民主的人權國家,沒有人會認為自己圈顧人權,但很多時候生活中不經意的歧視,卻不斷地發生。(10分)
(二) 走在街頭,你可曾注意身邊多了許多東南亞人的臉孔。來到臺灣工作的他們,無非懷抱希望、忍受離鄉背井的辛苦,追求更理想的美好生活。認識世界、走入國際,不在他方,就在你我身旁一個個來自印尼、越南、泰國的東南亞朋友身上。(15分)
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查「中文譯成日文」的綜合能力,重點包括:
- 中文長句的斷句與日文語序重組。
- 抽象名詞的自然表達,如「人權」「歧視」「希望」「理想生活」。
- 日文助詞、授受與慣用搭配的正確使用。
- 書面語與散文語氣的掌握。
- 題目要求漢字標示振り仮名,答案中的日文漢字均須附讀音。
題中文字「圈顧人權」依語意應作「罔顧人權」解釋,即「忽視、漠視人權」之意。
解題方法
中文翻譯成日文時,應依下列順序處理:
- 先確認句子的主語、動作與因果關係。
- 將中文直譯不自然的語句,改成日文慣用表現。
- 長句適度分成兩至三個日文句子,避免助詞堆疊。
- 保留原文的論述語氣,不任意增刪內容。
- 「來自印尼、越南、泰國」應修飾「東南亞朋友」,不可誤譯成朋友來自三個國家以外的地方。
(一)翻譯解析
參考譯文
台湾(たいわん)のような、自由(じゆう)と民主主義(みんしゅしゅぎ)を重(おも)んじる人権(じんけん)国家(こっか)に生(う)まれ育(そだ)った私(わたし)たちは、誰(だれ)も自分(じぶん)が人権(じんけん)をないがしろにしているとは思(おも)わない。しかし、日常(にちじょう)生活(せいかつ)の中(なか)で無意識(むいしき)のうちに行(おこな)われる差別(さべつ)が、実際(じっさい)には絶(た)えず起(お)こっている。
句型與用字說明
1. 「生在臺灣這樣一個……國家」
「生在」若直譯為「台湾に生まれた」,語意尚可,但原文具有「在此地出生並成長」的背景意味,因此使用:
- 「台湾のような……国家に生まれ育った」
- 「生まれ育つ」表示「出生並成長」
「這樣一個」可用「このような」或「〜のような」表達。本題使用「台湾のような」,能自然銜接後面的國家特質。
2. 「講求自由民主的人權國家」
「講求」不是單純的「要求」,此處是「重視、以……為重要原則」之意,因此使用:
- 自由と民主主義を重んじる
- 自由と民主主義を尊重する
「人權國家」可譯為「人権国家」。為使修飾關係清楚,寫成:
自由と民主主義を重んじる人権国家
3. 「沒有人會認為自己罔顧人權」
「認為自己……」使用:
自分が……とは思わない
此處的「とは」具有提出內容並加以否定的作用,語氣比單純的「思わない」更自然。
「罔顧人權」可用:
- 人権をないがしろにする
- 人権を軽視する
- 人権を無視する
其中「ないがしろにする」具有「不當一回事、漠視」的語氣,最能呈現原文意義。
4. 「生活中不經意的歧視」
「不經意」在此不是「偶然」或「不小心」而已,而是「未察覺、無意識地」之意,因此使用:
無意識のうちに行われる差別
「生活中」可譯為:
日常生活の中で
5. 「卻不斷地發生」
「卻」表達前後反差,可用「しかし」或「ところが」。本句使用「しかし」,適合正式文章。
「不斷地發生」可用:
- 絶えず起こっている
- 繰り返し発生している
- 次々と起きている
本題使用「絶えず起こっている」,呈現歧視事件持續發生的狀態。
解題技巧
本句的關鍵在於「自己不認為有侵害人權」與「日常中仍持續發生歧視」之間的對比。翻譯時應保留「しかし」所形成的轉折,不可將兩部分合併成單純敘述。
另須注意「人權」在日文中為「人権(じんけん)」,不是「人權」的繁體字直接照搬;「歧視」為「差別(さべつ)」。
(二)翻譯解析
參考譯文
街頭(がいとう)を歩(ある)いていると、身近(みぢか)に東南(とうなん)アジアの人々(ひとびと)の顔(かお)がずいぶん増(ふ)えたことに気(き)づいたことがあるだろうか。台湾(たいわん)に働(はたら)きに来(き)ている彼(かれ)らは、希望(きぼう)を胸(むね)に抱(いだ)き、故郷(ふるさと)を離(はな)れて暮(く)らす苦労(くろう)に耐(た)え、より理想(りそう)的(てき)で豊(ゆた)かな生活(せいかつ)を追(お)い求(もと)めている。世界(せかい)を知(し)り、国際(こくさい)社会(しゃかい)へ踏(ふ)み出(だ)すきっかけは、遠(とお)いところにあるのではなく、あなたや私(わたし)のすぐそばにいる、インドネシア、ベトナム、タイから来(き)た東南(とうなん)アジアの友人(ゆうじん)たち一人(ひとり)ひとりの中(なか)にある。
句型與用字說明
1. 「走在街頭,你可曾注意……」
「走在街頭」可譯為:

三、作文(日語で300字以上)
テーマ:台湾の朝食文化について
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題為日語作文,主題是「臺灣的早餐文化」。評分重點包括:
- 是否確實扣合主題,介紹臺灣早餐的特色。
- 文章是否具備完整結構,包括開頭、主體與結尾。
- 是否能使用正確、自然的日語表達文化內容。
- 是否達到「300字以上」的篇幅要求。
- 是否能適度比較臺灣早餐與日本早餐,展現文化觀察與個人意見。
本題沒有法條、公式或固定答案,重點在於內容完整、語句正確、段落清楚。
解題方法
建議採用「總說—舉例—文化意義—個人感想」的四段式寫法:
第一段先說明臺灣早餐種類豐富,且與日常生活密切相關。
第二段列舉具體食物,如豆漿、油條、蛋餅、飯糰、蘿蔔糕與漢堡,並說明早餐店的用餐情形。
第三段進一步分析臺灣早餐文化的特色,包括外帶方便、價格平實、選擇多元,以及早餐店具有社區交流功能。
第四段加入與日本早餐的比較及個人感想,使文章具有深度,最後回扣臺灣早餐文化的重要性。
文章應避免只羅列食物名稱,必須加入「為什麼具有特色」以及「自己如何看待」等內容,才能符合參考書等級的作文要求。
參考作文

第 1 題1 分
In Pakistan, an airplane was briefly ____ when a passenger was suspected of being infected with H5N1.
核心觀念
本題考「隔離、檢疫」相關字彙。句意是:在巴基斯坦,一名乘客被懷疑感染 H5N1,於是飛機短暫地被__。描述為防止疾病傳播而暫時限制移動,應使用 quarantine,意為「隔離、檢疫」。
解題方法
先看句子的因果關係:乘客疑似感染傳染病,因此飛機被採取暫時的防疫措施。四個選項中,只有 quarantined 能表達「被隔離、接受檢疫」;搭配 was briefly,過去式被動語態表示「曾短暫遭到隔離」。
選項分析
第 2 題1 分
When Mr. and Mrs. Smith stayed at a hotel, they took ____ rooms for themselves and their two children.
核心觀念
本題考查住宿情境中的形容詞搭配。adjacent 表示「相鄰的、毗鄰的」,可用來描述彼此相鄰的房間。題幹提到史密斯夫婦帶著兩名孩子入住飯店,語意上需要為家人安排相鄰的房間。
解題方法
先看空格後的名詞 rooms,再判斷哪個選項既能修飾「房間」,也符合家人入住飯店的情境。adjacent rooms 是自然搭配,指「相鄰的房間」。
選項分析
- (A) adjacent:正確。 意為「相鄰的」,
adjacent rooms即「相鄰的房間」,符合一家人入住時方便彼此照應的情境。 - **(B) glutinous:錯誤。
第 3 題1 分
This is the first study to show how ____ to air pollution influences cognitive function in a national sample of older men and women.
核心觀念
本題考英文名詞與介系詞 to 的搭配。句中「____ to air pollution」描述人接觸空氣污染的情形;常用搭配是 exposure to,意為「暴露於、接觸到」。
解題方法
先看空格後的 to air pollution,判斷哪個名詞能自然表示「接觸某種污染」。句意為:「這是第一項研究,顯示在全國老年男女樣本中,____ 空氣污染如何影響認知功能。」填入 exposure 後,句意通順且符合研究主題。
選項分析
第 4 題1 分
If a foreign banker knowingly assisted a taxpayer in concealing a foreign account or evading taxes, the banker can be charged with conspiracy to ____ the Ministry of Finance.
核心觀念
本題考英文搭配詞與句意判讀。conspiracy to defraud 是常見法律用語,意為「共謀詐欺」或「串謀欺騙」。句中指出外國銀行家明知而協助納稅人隱匿海外帳戶或逃漏稅,因此所描述的是銀行家與納稅人共同欺騙財政部。
解題方法
先看空格前的 conspiracy to:to 後方應接動詞原形。再依句意判斷,銀行家協助隱匿帳戶、逃漏稅,目的在欺騙財政部,因此應填 defraud。選項 (B) fraud 是名詞,置於空格後會形成 to fraud,文法不合;此處官方答案所指的字義是「詐欺」,但若嚴格依原句文法,應寫成 conspiracy to defraud the Ministry of Finance。
選項分析
- (A) authorize:動詞,意為「授權、批准」。
conspiracy to authorize the Ministry of Finance是「共謀授權財政部」,與隱匿帳戶、逃漏稅的情境不符。
第 5 題1 分
The President did eventually sign a minor but lauded executive order that halted ____ of certain children of illegal immigrants.
核心觀念
本題考的是字彙辨義與上下文判讀。句意為:「總統最終確實簽署了一項影響不大、但受到讚揚的行政命令,停止某些非法移民子女的 ____。」關鍵是動詞 halted(停止)及受詞 children of illegal immigrants(非法移民的子女)。
解題方法
先判斷空格需要填入何種行為:行政命令停止對這些子女採取某項處置。四個選項中,deportation 意為「驅逐出境」,與移民行政及句子語意相符;「停止驅逐出境」也能構成完整、自然的句意。
選項分析
第 6 題1 分
National-security agencies invest hundreds of millions of dollars yearly in software to ____ hackers and cybercriminals from invading our profiles.
核心觀念
本題考查動詞的語意與固定搭配。句意是:國家安全機關每年投入數億美元購買軟體,以__駭客和網路犯罪者入侵我們的個人檔案。空格需要填入表示「阻止、嚇阻」的動詞,且能與介系詞 from 搭配。
解題方法
句型為 deter someone from doing something,意思是「阻止某人做某事、使某人不敢做某事」。空格後的 hackers and cybercriminals 是受到影響的人,from invading our profiles 則說明要阻止的行為,因此應選 deter。
選項分析
第 7 題1 分
We live at a time in which societies are becoming increasingly ____ and multicultural. And, globalization forces us to interact across national, cultural, religious and other boundaries.
核心觀念
本題考「描述社會組成與多元性」的字義判讀。空格後接 and multicultural(且具多元文化特色),因此前面的形容詞應與社會的多樣組成相呼應。heterogeneous 意為「異質的、多元組成的」,符合句意。
解題方法
句意是:「我們生活在一個社會日益__且多元文化的時代。全球化迫使我們跨越國家、文化、宗教等界線互動。」
先看語意搭配:社會變得多元文化,也表示其成員背景與組成愈來愈多樣。因此選擇表示「組成多樣、異質」的 heterogeneous。
選項分析
- (A) equivocal:意為「模稜兩可的、含糊的」,通常形容說法、態度或證據;不符合此處描述社會組成的語意。
第 8 題1 分
In the spring of 1889, Van Gogh entered an ____ at Saint-Rémy after suffering what he described as moods of indescribable anguish, following the episode in which he cut off his left ear.
核心觀念
本題考英文名詞的字義與上下文判讀。句中提到 Van Gogh 在割下左耳後,因「難以形容的痛苦情緒」而進入 Saint-Rémy 的某種機構;空格應填入表示精神療養或收容機構的名詞。
解題方法
先看動詞搭配:entered an ____ at Saint-Rémy,意為「進入聖雷米的一所……」。再根據前後文的精神狀態描述,判斷空格需要填入精神病院或療養院之類的場所。asylum 符合語意,也能與 an 搭配。
選項分析
第 9 題1 分
Today, it is not ____ for younger speakers in Taiwan to be equally fluent in Taiwanese and Mandarin.
核心觀念
本題考查否定字首 un- 加上形容詞後的語意,以及常見搭配 not uncommon。句意為:「如今,在臺灣,年輕人同時流利使用臺語和華語並不罕見。」
not uncommon 是雙重否定式的委婉表達,意思是「不罕見」,也就是「相當常見」。
解題方法
先看空格前的 not,再比較各選項帶入後是否符合句意與慣用語:
Today, it is not uncommon for younger speakers in Taiwan to be equally fluent in Taiwanese and Mandarin.
其中 uncommon 是「不常見的、罕見的」;not uncommon 表示「並不罕見」,與句子描述的現象相符。
選項分析
第 10 題1 分
Social media has significantly transformed our communication methods by ____ both virality and efficiency.
核心觀念
本題考字義與搭配詞。句意是:「社群媒體透過提升(某些特質),大幅改變了我們的溝通方式。」空格後的 both virality and efficiency 表示「傳播的快速擴散性與效率」,因此應選能與這兩項正面特質搭配的動詞。
解題方法
先看句意方向:社群媒體改變溝通方式,原因是它讓訊息更容易迅速傳播,也使溝通更有效率。選項中,enhance 有「提升、增進」之意,搭配 virality 和 efficiency 語意自然。
句型結構為 by + 動名詞,表示「藉由……」;因此空格須填入動詞的 -ing 形式。四個選項皆符合形式,應以語意及搭配詞判斷。
選項分析
- (A) endangering:endanger 是「危及、使遭受危險」。endangering both virality and efficiency 意為「危及傳播性與效率」,與句中社群媒體改善溝通方式的正向脈絡不合。

【題組共用題幹】
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of 50-mile-thick plates that comprise the earth’s crust. More than two thousand earthquakes occur daily somewhere on our planet, but about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers. ____ are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage, particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas.
Scientists have observed that certain phenomena seem to occur before an earthquake as the pressure within the plates intensifies. Myriads of tiny cracks appear in the rock, causing it to expand and uplift the ground above it. The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby ____ nearby water levels. Also the rock becomes more resistant to electric current, and radon gas is released. Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people to evacuate the area. While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.
- ____ sensitive seismometers.
核心觀念
本題考介系詞 except 的用法。except 表示「除了……之外」,用來指出某個人或事物不包括在前述範圍內;介系詞片語 except by sensitive seismometers 意為「除了透過靈敏的地震儀(才能被察覺)」。
解題方法
先看句子的語意與被動結構:
about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers.
主詞是 95 percent of them(其中約 95% 的地震),搭配 are too weak to be felt(微弱到無法被察覺)。空格後的 sensitive seismometers 是察覺地震的工具,因此用 by 表示「透過、藉由」。前面的 except 則補出例外:這些地震除了透過靈敏的地震儀以外,人通常感覺不到。

While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.
- ____ are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage.
核心觀念
本題考 關係代名詞與先行詞的搭配,以及 of + 關係代名詞 的用法。句中的 earthquakes 是先行詞,空格後的 are felt by humans 是關係子句,用來限定「人類感受得到的地震」。
解題方法
前句提到每天發生兩千多次地震,其中約 95% 弱到連靈敏的地震儀都測不到。接著要表達的是:「在人類感受得到的那些地震當中,多數造成的損害相對輕微。」
「那些……的地震」可寫成 those that are felt by humans。要表示「在那些地震之中」,在 those 前加 of,因此句子為:
Of those that are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage.
其中 that are felt by humans 是修飾 those 的關係子句;most 是主句主詞,指「大多數(地震)」。
選項分析
- (A) Of those:缺少關係子句,沒有交代 those 指的是哪些地震。若直接接 are felt by humans,句子會成為 Of those are felt by humans,結構不完整。

While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.
- particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas.
核心觀念
本題考查過去分詞作形容詞,以及「稀少居住的地區」的英文表達。areas 是名詞,空格需要形容詞修飾,表示該地區「有人居住」。
解題方法
先看空格後的名詞 areas,再判斷誰或什麼受到「居住」這個動作。句意是「尤其是當地震發生在人煙稀少的地區時」,地區是被人居住的對象,因此使用過去分詞 inhabited,形成 sparsely inhabited areas,意為「人口稀少的地區」。
選項分析
- (A) inhabiting:現在分詞表示主動「正在居住/居住於某處的」。若接
areas,會變成「正在居住的地區」,無法自然表達「有人居住的地區」。

本題考「分詞片語」的用法。句中 thereby 是副詞,意為「因此、藉此」;其後的 raising nearby water levels 是現在分詞片語,補充說明前句「水被擠出岩石」所造成的結果。此處 raising 相當於「從而提高」。
解題方法
先找出主要句子的動詞:The pressure squeezes water out of the rock(壓力把水從岩石中擠出)。逗號後的 thereby ____ nearby water levels 不是另一個完整子句,因為前面沒有連接詞,也沒有新的主詞;空格應填現在分詞,形成結果補充語:
thereby raising nearby water levels

- Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞與動詞的詞形辨別,以及上下文中的語意搭配。空格後方是名詞 phenomena(現象),因此空格應填能修飾名詞的形容詞。
- interrelated:彼此相關的、相互關聯的
- interrelate:使彼此相關;彼此關聯(動詞)
- opposite:相反的
- oppositional:對立的、反對的
解題方法
文中列出地震前可能發生的多種現象:岩石出現裂縫、地面隆起、岩石中的水被擠出而使附近水位改變,以及岩石電阻增加、釋出氡氣。科學家希望這些現象能提供預測地震的線索。
這些現象都與地震前板塊壓力加劇有關,因此「彼此相關的現象」最符合上下文。填入 interrelated 後,句意為:「科學家希望這些相互關聯的現象能提供線索,用來預測地震何時、何地發生。」

【題組共用題幹】
There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type involves physical activity and its demands; the other type is the result of mental and emotional demands. Whether physical or emotional in origin, stress causes the body to react in similar ways. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress. The heartbeat and respiration rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate; the blood sugar level increases, and the perspiration rate speeds up, while digestion slows down as blood and muscular activity is diverted elsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressful situation. However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion, then begins. If this stage continues, physical and emotional damage will occur. These stages of stress reaction are generally the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowly missing an automobile accident.
Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Probably most harmful of all stresses is guilt. This common emotion is useful to have when it helps us realize that we have, in fact, committed some error, violated our own rules or social norms. If we did not feel guilt, we would never do anything except the things that brought us immediate pleasure—we’d never obey the law, work, or even study in school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt feelings become inevitable; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.
Many of us as children learned rules that we no longer need. For instance, a successful business person needs not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, or should she/he feel guilty that she/he can combine a business trip with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort. But many people do feel guilty over such apparently innocent actions. Excessive guilt can make life not worth living; guilt can cause self-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.
Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subject to excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot always be cheerful and helpful to everyone they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, not lingered over and brought out to examine periodically.
A life without stress would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt to keep us correct, and a little worry to make us plan ahead, we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But, when stress begins to bother you, change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some activities, whether tennis, yoga, gardening, or meditation. Or talk your worries over with someone else; you may discover a solution you had overlooked before.
- What is the best title for the passage?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀中的主旨與標題判斷。標題應涵蓋全文主要內容,而不是只概括某一段或某一個例子。
文章先說明壓力的來源與身體反應,再介紹適度壓力及罪惡感的作用與負面影響,最後提出應對壓力的方法。因此,合適的標題須同時涵蓋壓力的成因、反應與管理。
解題方法
快速整理各段功能:
- 第一段:壓力的類型、身體反應,以及壓力持續時的影響。
- 第二至四段:罪惡感這種心理壓力的作用、過度罪惡感的傷害,以及調整觀念的方法。
- 第五段:適度壓力的必要性,以及透過活動或與人談話來管理壓力。
全文並非只談如何逃離壓力,也不只討論生理或心理壓力其中一類;它從壓力的原因與表現談到因應方式,故選 (B)。
選項分析
(A) Key findings about stress(關於壓力的關鍵發現) 範圍過於籠統。「關鍵發現」沒有指出文章的具體重點,無法像 (B) 一樣涵蓋壓力的成因、症狀與管理。

There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type involves physical activity and its demands; the other type is the result of mental and emotional demands. Whether physical or emotional in origin, stress causes the body to react in similar ways. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress. The heartbeat and respiration rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate; the blood sugar level increases, and the perspiration rate speeds up, while digestion slows down as blood and muscular activity is diverted elsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressful situation. However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion, then begins. If this stage continues, physical and emotional damage will occur. These stages of stress reaction are generally the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowly missing an automobile accident.
Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Probably most harmful of all stresses is guilt. This common emotion is useful to have when it helps us realize that we have, in fact, committed some error, violated our own rules or social norms. If we did not feel guilt, we would never do anything except the things that brought us immediate pleasure—we’d never obey the law, work, or even study in school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt feelings become inevitable; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.
Many of us as children learned rules that we no longer need. For instance, a successful business person needs not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, or should she/he feel guilty that she/he can combine a business trip with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort. But many people do feel guilty over such apparently innocent actions. Excessive guilt can make life not worth living; guilt can cause self-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.
Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subject to excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot always be cheerful and helpful to everyone they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, not lingered over and brought out to examine periodically.
A life without stress would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt to keep us correct, and a little worry to make us plan ahead, we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But, when stress begins to bother you, change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some activities, whether tennis, yoga, gardening, or meditation.

核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解,需從文章中比對各選項陳述是否與原文相符。題目問哪一項「不正確」(NOT true)。
解題方法
先抓文章明確陳述,再逐項核對:
- 第一段指出,壓力反應時呼吸速率會增加。
- 第二段說明,適度的罪惡感有助於人察覺錯誤、遵守規範。
- 第三段指出,有些人會因看似無害的行為而感到罪惡。
- 第四段表示,罪惡感常伴隨憂慮。
因此,與文章意思相反的選項就是答案。
選項分析
- (A) Worry often accompanies guilt. 正確。第四段提到「the worry that often accompanies this major stress」,指出憂慮常伴隨罪惡感。

- We can conclude from this passage that ____.
核心觀念
本題考閱讀理解與推論,重點是抓出文章對「壓力」與「罪惡感」的主旨,並分辨選項是否把文意說得過度、顛倒或無據。文章指出,適度壓力有助於維持生活興趣;罪惡感能提醒人察覺錯誤,但過度罪惡感會造成傷害。
解題方法
先找能由文章直接支持的敘述,再排除與原文相反或加入文章未提資訊的選項。第三段提到,人們常因童年學到、如今已不必遵守的規則,對度假花費或出差兼度假等無害行為感到罪惡。這表示罪惡感有時來自個人內在對規則的要求,而非行為本身必然有錯,因此可推論罪惡感常是自我引發的。
選項分析
- (A) a stress-free life would be ideal:錯。文章明確說「沒有壓力的生活會很無聊」,並指出適度壓力能讓人對生活保持興趣。

- The passage suggests that ____.
核心觀念
本題考查文章主旨與細節統整。作者指出,身體活動與心理、情緒要求都會造成壓力;壓力反應的生理階段大致相同。適度的壓力能讓人保持興趣、促使人規劃,也有助於遵守規範;壓力過度或持續太久,則會造成身心傷害。
解題方法
先抓文章對「適度」與「過度」壓力的對比:作者肯定適量壓力的功能,同時提醒長期或過量壓力有害。再核對各選項是否符合這項整體主旨。文中第二段提到適度的身體活動壓力有益,最後一段更明確指出,少量的罪惡感、憂慮與壓力能幫助人保持正確、事先規劃並對生活保持興趣,因此選項 A 的概括最完整。
選項分析
- (A) physical and mental stress in normal amounts are advantageous to man:正確。文章指出適度壓力有助於維持生活興趣;適量罪惡感能提醒人遵守規範,適度憂慮能使人預先規劃。此處的 normal amounts 指適量,與過度、持續的壓力有所區別。
- (B) worry often causes physical stress:錯誤。

- According to the passage, the word “dilate” means ____.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的語境判讀。文中描述壓力反應第一階段的生理變化,其中 the pupils of the eyes dilate 指「眼睛的瞳孔擴大」。
解題方法
利用上下文中的生理反應判斷:心跳和呼吸加快、血糖上升、出汗增加,消化減慢;其中 dilate 描述瞳孔的大小變化,意思是「擴大、放大」。
