El pasado mes de mayo la canciller alemana Angela Merkel fue investida doctora Honoris Causa en la 368 ceremonia de graduación de la universidad de Harvard y al mismo tiempo dio un discurso a los graduados de dicha universidad. Este discurso fue, entre otras cosas, una llamada, apenas ligeramente encubierta, a rechazar el trumpismo. “¡Derribad los muros!”, les decía desde el atril a los estudiantes la primera mujer que alcanzó el puesto de canciller de la Alemania reunificada. “¡Derribad los muros de la ignorancia y la estrechez mental!”, “¡Reflexionad, pensad libremente para poder distinguir y no disfrazar las mentiras como verdad y la verdad como mentiras!”

核心觀念
本題為公務人員特種考試移民行政人員三等考試之「西翻中」筆譯題,測驗考生對於國際時事新聞、外交政治演說語體之轉譯能力,以及移民專業背景下關於邊界意識形態(邊境牆 vs. 開放多元)的語境理解。核心測驗重點包括:
- 外事政治專有名詞與頭銜:如德國憲政職銜
canciller(聯邦總理)、名譽學位Doctor Honoris Causa、當代政經思潮trumpismo(川普主義)、歷史歷史地緣政治詞彙Alemania reunificada(統一後的德國)。 - 西語語法與特殊句構:
- 被動語態轉譯:
fue investida doctora Honoris Causa(獲頒名譽博士學位)。 - 插入語與程度副詞修飾:
apenas ligeramente encubierta(幾近不加掩飾、幾乎毫不遮掩)。 - 敘述句之主謂倒裝(Hipérbaton):引言後的引導句主詞後置(
les decía desde el atril a los estudiantes la primera mujer que alcanzó...)。 - 命令式第二人稱複數(vosotros)肯定形:
¡Derribad!、¡Reflexionad!、¡pensad!於正式演講中的動員語氣。 - 對比與動詞搭配:
distinguir(辨明、明辨)以及disfrazar A como B(將 A 偽裝/粉飾為 B)的反襯修辭。
解題方法
翻譯外事新聞與演講文體,切入點應採「結構拆解、語序重組、文氣貫通」三步驟:
第一句:背景事件交代(並列複合句)
- 原文結構:
El pasado mes de mayo [時間副詞] la canciller alemana Angela Merkel [主詞] fue investida doctora Honoris Causa [被動動詞+補語] en la 368 ceremonia de graduación de la universidad de Harvard [地點狀語] y al mismo tiempo [並列連接詞+狀語] dio un discurso a los graduados de dicha universidad [動詞+受詞+間接受詞]. - 解析與切入點:
El pasado mes de mayo:試題為 108 年(2019年)8月應試,文中指甫發生之 2019 年 5 月事件,譯為「今年五月」或「甫過去的五月」。canciller:在拉美國家常指「外交部長」,但用於德國(及奧地利)政制時為專有名詞「總理」。fue investida doctora Honoris Causa:直譯為「被授予名譽博士」,中文多採主動或榮譽動詞「獲頒名譽博士學位」以符合中文行文慣例。368 ceremonia:序數詞縮略寫法,中文規範譯為「第 368 屆畢業典禮」。
第二句:演說意圖與主題定調(主繫表結構+插入語)
- 原文結構:
Este discurso fue [主詞+繫詞], entre otras cosas [插入片語], una llamada [表語], apenas ligeramente encubierta [插入修飾語], a rechazar el trumpismo [受詞補語/不定詞片語]. - 解析與切入點:
entre otras cosas:直譯為「在其他事情之中」,於此處引申為「除了其他重點外」、「在諸多重點中包括了」或「在很大程度上」。una llamada a + inf.:發出做某事的呼籲/號召。apenas ligeramente encubierta:apenas(幾乎不、僅僅)加上ligeramente(輕微地)修飾過去分詞encubierta(被隱藏的),字面為「僅稍作遮掩」,實意為「幾近毫不掩飾」、「幾乎完全公開」。
第三句:引言與說話者身分(引導句倒裝結構)
- 原文結構:
“¡Derribad los muros!”, [直接引語] les decía desde el atril a los estudiantes [動詞+間接受詞+地點狀語] la primera mujer que alcanzó el puesto de canciller de la Alemania reunificada [完整主詞片語帶關係子句]. - 解析與切入點:
- 西文在直接引語後習慣將動詞前置(
les decía),長主詞後置至句末。中文翻譯時必須調回正常語序:「...這位統一後德國的首位女總理在演講台上對學生們說道:『...』」。 atril:演講台、講桌。Alemania reunificada:歷史政治名詞「統一後的德國」(指 1990 年兩德統一後)。

Tradu zca el siguiente texto al español:
大約三週前,美國總統川普在推特上砲轟四名少數族裔女議員,嗆聲她們要是不喜歡待在美國,可以隨時走人。眾議院強烈譴責川普的種族歧視發言,決議案全文中列出了從美國開國元勳到近代總統的多元融合信念,並且強調,眾議院相信「移民和其子孫讓美國更強大」。決議文也引用了第 32 任總統小羅斯福的名言:「記住,永遠記得,我們所有人,特別是你和我,都是移民者與革命者的後代。」
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題測驗「時事政治與移民人權新聞」之漢譯西(中翻西)能力,為移民特考三等外國文考科之經典題型。本科命題首重三大核心:
- 政治與移民專有名詞對譯:如「眾議院」(Cámara de Representantes)、「少數族裔」(minorías étnicas)、「開國元勳」(padres fundadores)、「決議案」(resolución)、「多元融合」(integración pluralista / diversidad e integración)。
- 時態呼應與語篇連貫(Concordancia de tiempos):
- 描述已發生的時事歷史事件,敘述主幹使用簡單過去時(Pretérito indefinido,如 arremetió, condenó, citó)。
- 間接引語與過去條件句的呼應:主句動詞為過去時,引述內容須依時態呼應規則降為未完成過去時(Pretérito imperfecto,如 si no les gustaba..., podían irse)。
- 新聞語體動詞與句型結構:
- 「砲轟」轉譯為具張力的新聞動詞片語:arremeter contra 或 fustigar a。
- 「使⋯⋯更強大」之使役結構:hacer que + 虛擬式 或 hacer a alguien + 形容詞(hacen a Estados Unidos más fuerte)。
- 引用名言之直接引語標點符號與人稱命令式轉換(西文引號
« »與複數命令式 Recuerden)。
解題方法
翻譯時採「語意群切分(Segmentación)→ 主幹提煉 → 時態定錨 → 專業修飾」四步驟:
第一句:事由背景
- 原文:「大約三週前,美國總統川普在推特上砲轟四名少數族裔女議員,嗆聲她們要是不喜歡待在美國,可以隨時走人。」
- 主幹拆解:
- 時間狀語:「大約三週前」譯為 Hace unas tres semanas。
- 主幹:「美國總統川普在推特上砲轟四名少數族裔女議員」→ el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump arremetió en Twitter contra cuatro congresistas de minorías étnicas。在西語新聞體中,「女議員」通常於名詞直接體現陰性形式(las congresistas)或以代名詞呼應。
- 次要子句/伴隨情態:「嗆聲她們⋯⋯」採現在分詞片語表達伴隨動作(espetándoles que... 或 diciéndoles desafiantemente que...)。
- 間接引語條件句:「要是不喜歡待在美國,可以隨時走人」→ 條件子句為過去真實/虛擬條件之時態呼應,用未完成過去時:si no les gustaba estar en Estados Unidos, podían marcharse en cualquier momento。
第二句:眾議院立場與決議內容
- 原文:「眾議院強烈譴責川普的種族歧視發言,決議案全文中列出了從美國開國元勳到近代總統的多元融合信念,並且強調,眾議院相信「移民和其子孫讓美國更強大」。」
- 主幹拆解:
- 第一分句:「眾議院強烈譴責川普的種族歧視發言」→ La Cámara de Representantes condenó enérgicamente las declaraciones racistas de Trump。
- 第二分句:「決議案全文中列出了⋯⋯信念」→ 採用被動或非人稱句型,亦可用主動句:En el texto íntegro de la resolución se enumeraron las convicciones sobre la integración y la diversidad desde los padres fundadores de Estados Unidos hasta los presidentes de la era contemporánea。
- 第三分句:「並且強調,眾議院相信『移民和其子孫讓美國更強大』」→ y subrayó que la Cámara confía en que «los inmigrantes y sus descendientes hacen a Estados Unidos más fuerte»。
第三句:引述歷史名言
- 原文:「決議文也引用了第 32 任總統小羅斯福的名言:「記住,永遠記得,我們所有人,特別是你和我,都是移民者與革命者的後代。」」
- 主幹拆解:
- 引導句:「決議文也引用了第 32 任總統小羅斯福的名言」→ La resolución también citó las célebres palabras del trigésimo segundo (32.º) presidente, Franklin D. Roosevelt:。

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題為外語申論寫作題(Redacción),測驗考生在「高齡化社會與公共衛生」核心議題上的西班牙文論述與表達能力。核心評量重點包括:
- 題意掌握與結構呼應:題幹涵蓋「現代醫療帶來的長壽現象(longevidad)」、「高齡神經退化性疾病的威脅(demencia senil, Alzheimer, Parkinson)」以及「個人的具體因應對策(預防疾病、延緩老化、促進健康)」。作答時必須全盤回應,切忌只泛談運動或只談醫療體制。
- 專業與生活化詞彙運用:能否精準使用公共衛生、生理保養及神經認知相關詞彙(如:
enfermedades neurodegenerativas、deterioro cognitivo、estimulación mental、estilo de vida activo)。 - 句型架構與語氣(Modo)搭配:靈活運用無人稱句(
se debe + inf.)、評價句帶虛擬式(es fundamental que + subjuntivo)以及表目的之副詞子句(con el fin de + inf.、para que + subjuntivo)。
解題方法
本題採取「引言—主體開展(生理/心智雙軌對策)—結論」之經典三段式(或四段式)結構佈局:
- 第一段(引言 Introducción):
- 呼應題幹背景:承認醫療進步使壽命延長(esperanza de vida / longevidad),但長壽應追求「健康餘命」而非單純生理年齡。
- 破題提出論點:預防快速老化與大腦退化,必須採取「身心並重」(bienestar holístico / físico y mental)的全面性預防策略。
- 第二段(生理層面:健康生活與延緩衰老 Dimensión física):
- 飲食保養:提倡均衡飲食(如地中海飲食 dieta mediterránea),攝取富含抗氧化劑(antioxidantes)與 Omega-3 的天然食物。
- 身體活動:保持規律有氧運動與適度肌力訓練,促進心血管健康,維持身體機能與新陳代謝。
- 良好作息:充足且具修復性的睡眠(sueño reparador),減少慢性發炎與氧化壓力。
- 第三段(認知與心理層面:預防失智與帕金森氏症 Dimensión cognitiva y social):
- 認知刺激(Estimulación cognitiva):持續從事終身學習、閱讀、益智活動或學習新技能,維持大腦神經可塑性(plasticidad cerebral)。
- 活躍社交(Vida social activa):參與社群、與親友保持互動,減少孤獨感(soledad)與憂鬱,降低阿茲海默症與各類失智症的誘發因子。
- 第四段(結論 Conclusión):
- 總結核心觀點:老化是自然的生理歷程,但透過主動、自律的生活習慣,不僅能延緩身體衰老,更能預防退化性病變,達到「活躍老化」(envejecimiento activo)與尊嚴晚年。
解題技巧
- 審題關鍵字防偏題:
- 題目明確限定主詞視角為「Según usted, ¿cómo se prepara...?」,重點在於「個人層次的預防作為與生活準備」,切勿將篇幅過度轉移至批評政府醫療政策、健保支出或長照財源等宏觀制度問題。
- 題目特別點名「demencia senil, Alzheimer o Parkinson」,主體段落務必寫出「腦部/心智/神經系統保養(estimulación mental/cognitiva)」,不可只寫慢跑、飲食等通用的減肥或防三高對策。
- 善用銜接詞(Conectores discursivos)增強邏輯性:
- 列舉與遞進:En primer lugar, Asimismo, Por otra parte, Además.
- 因果與結論:Por consiguiente, En consecuencia, En definitiva, En resumen.
- 常見文法與寫作陷阱:
- 虛擬式缺漏:當使用
Es imprescindible que...或Es necesario que...表達建議時,從屬子句動詞必須使用虛擬式(例如:Es indispensable que mantengamos una mente activa...)。 - 詞性與搭配詞錯誤:帕金森氏症應寫作 la enfermedad de Parkinson;預防失智通常搭配 prevenir el deterioro cognitivo 或 retrasar el envejecimiento cerebral。

第 1 題1 分
The company has not yet received an invitation to attend the event, ____ is to be held from May 2 to May 5.
核心觀念
本題考關係代名詞 which 引導的非限定關係子句。關係子句用來補充說明前面的名詞;本句中的先行詞是 the event,後面的 is to be held from May 2 to May 5 則補充說明活動的舉辦日期。
解題方法
先看空格後的子句:is to be held 缺少主詞。再回看前句中的名詞 the event,可由關係代名詞 which 代替,並在子句中作主詞:
The company has not yet received an invitation to attend the event, which is to be held from May 2 to May 5.
第 2 題1 分
The government is to sign an ____ with U.S. government for preventing the criminals from travelling to Taiwan.
核心觀念
本題考「字形相近、詞性不同」的字彙辨析,以及動詞 sign 的受詞搭配。句意是:「政府將與美國政府簽署一項協議,以防止犯罪者前往臺灣。」
accord 作名詞,意為「協議、條約」,可作 sign 的受詞。搭配 sign an accord,文法與語意皆合。
解題方法
先看空格前的冠詞 an,後方應接以母音音素開頭的單數可數名詞;再看空格後的 with U.S. government,可知空格處應是政府間簽署的文件或協議。四個選項中,只有 accord 符合這兩項條件。
選項分析
第 3 題1 分
____ of heart attack include chest pain, cold sweating and nausea, developing into trouble breathing and loss of consciousness in the most serious cases.
核心觀念
本題考字義與語境判斷。symptom 是「症狀」,指疾病所呈現的身體徵兆;heart attack 是「心臟病發作/心肌梗塞」。句中列舉胸痛、冒冷汗、噁心,以及嚴重時呼吸困難、失去意識,都是心臟病發作的症狀,因此空格應填 Symptoms。
解題方法
先看空格後方的 of heart attack,再讀後面的例子:chest pain, cold sweating and nausea(胸痛、冒冷汗、噁心)。這些詞語是在描述疾病的表現,與「症狀」相符。
句意是:「心臟病發作的症狀包括胸痛、冒冷汗和噁心;在最嚴重的情況下,會進一步出現呼吸困難和失去意識。」
第 4 題1 分
Many citizens view the rapid influx of immigrants with anxiety, worrying that the nation might fail to ____ the streams of new arrivals pouring in annually.
核心觀念
本題考同義字與語境判斷。句意是:許多民眾對移民快速湧入感到焦慮,擔心國家無法妥善「______」每年大量抵達的新移民。空格需要表示「使移民融入社會」的動詞。
解題方法
先看受詞 the streams of new arrivals(一波波新抵達者),再看語意搭配:國家面對大量移民,可能需要讓他們逐漸融入社會。四個選項中,只有 assimilate 有「使同化、使融入」之意,因此最符合句意。
選項分析
- (A) circulate:意為「循環、流通、傳播」,例如 circulate information(傳播資訊)。不能表示讓移民融入社會。
第 5 題1 分
A visitor visa holder will be allowed to travel to Taiwan before the ____ of the visa.
核心觀念
本題考「簽證效期」相關字彙與語意搭配。句意是:「持有訪客簽證者,得在簽證__之前前往臺灣。」空格需要填入表示「到期、屆滿」的名詞。
解題方法
先依句意判斷,能合理接在 the 與 of the visa 之間的字,應表示簽證效期的終點。expiration 是「到期、屆滿」,因此 before the expiration of the visa 即「在簽證到期前」,符合句意。
選項分析
- (A) expiration:到期、屆滿。the expiration of the visa 表示「簽證到期」,搭配 before 後意為「在簽證到期前」,正確。
第 6 題1 分
____ the truth during an immigration inspection is a violation of Immigration Act and thus punishable by law.
核心觀念
本題考字彙在句中的語意與搭配。句意是:「在移民查驗時__事實,違反《入出國及移民法》,因此依法處罰。」空格須填入表示「歪曲、虛報、謊報」的動詞,才能與 the truth(事實真相)搭配。
解題方法
先看受詞 the truth,再判斷哪個選項能表示故意提供不實資訊、歪曲真相。句首的動名詞片語 ____ the truth during an immigration inspection 作為全句主詞,因此空格應填動名詞形式;四個選項都已以 -ing 結尾,須再依語意選擇。
選項分析
- (A) Relating:relate 是「敘述、講述;有關聯」。relating the truth 不能表達「謊報或歪曲真相」,不合本句所說的違法行為。
- (B) Misrepresenting:misrepresent 是「不實陳述、歪曲、虛報」。
第 7 題1 分
To follow a Mediterranean-style diet, which include high consumption of olive oil, fruits, and vegetables, and low consumption of red meat, would decrease the chance of developing ____ disease.
核心觀念
本題考字義與搭配詞。句意是:遵循地中海型飲食——多攝取橄欖油、水果與蔬菜,少吃紅肉——可以降低罹患某種疾病的機率。空格需填入符合語意、且能與 disease 自然搭配的形容詞。
解題方法
先抓住飲食描述與「降低罹病機率」的語意,再判斷疾病類型。地中海型飲食常與心臟及血管健康相關,因此空格應指「心血管的」:cardiovascular disease 即「心血管疾病」。
選項分析
- (A) congenital:意為「先天的」。congenital disease 是「先天性疾病」,與題幹所述飲食對健康的影響不合。
- (B) contemptuous:意為「輕蔑的、鄙夷的」,通常形容人的態度或表情,不適合修飾 disease。
第 8 題1 分
After several rounds of recruitment, a number of potential candidates finally ____ as the president’s national security advisers.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的詞義與語境搭配。句意是:「經過幾輪徵選後,幾位潛在人選終於__為總統的國家安全顧問。」空格需要表示人選「出現、浮現」的動詞,且能接續補充身分的介系詞片語 as the president’s national security advisers。
解題方法
先抓句子的主詞 a number of potential candidates(幾位潛在人選)與 finally(終於),判斷句意是在描述人選經過一段甄選過程後「終於浮現、出現」。四個選項中,emerge 有「出現、浮現」之意,並可搭配 as + 身分/角色,表示「以某種身分出現、成為某角色」,符合句意與文法。
完整句意為:「經過幾輪徵選後,幾位潛在人選終於出現,成為總統的國家安全顧問。」
選項分析
- (A) emerge:正確。 意為「出現、浮現、顯露」。emerge as + 身分/角色 可表示「嶄露頭角而成為……」,符合句意。
第 9 題1 分
In recent years, increasing numbers of refugees and migrants from Syria are crossing the Mediterranean to search for ____ in Europe.
核心觀念
本題考同音近形字的字義辨析。四個選項拼字相近,但詞性與意思不同;須依句意判斷「敘利亞難民與移民前往歐洲尋求什麼」。
解題方法
空格位於 search for(尋求)之後,應填入能表示所尋求目標的名詞。句意是難民與移民跨越地中海前往歐洲,尋求「庇護」。sanctuary 可表示庇護、避難所,符合語意與文法。
選項分析
- (A) sanitary:形容詞,意為「衛生的、清潔的」,如 sanitary conditions(衛生條件)。詞性及句意皆不合。
- (B) sanctuary:名詞,意為「庇護、避難所」,符合 search for sanctuary(尋求庇護)的搭配與句意,正確。
第 10 題1 分
The major argument against immigration is that so many migrants fail to ____ with the local community and culture and this leads to social tension and even unrest.
核心觀念
本題考查動詞搭配與字義。句意是:「反對移民的主要論點是,許多移民未能與當地社群及文化融為一體,因而造成社會緊張,甚至動亂。」
空格後接 with the local community and culture,要表達「融入當地社群與文化」,最合適的搭配是 integrate with。
解題方法
先由句意判斷空格需要表示「融入、整合」的動詞,再檢視各選項是否能自然地與 with 搭配,並符合「移民融入社區與文化」的語境。句中的 fail to 後面接原形動詞,因此填入 integrate,文法也正確。
選項分析
- (A) integrate:正確。 意為「整合、融入」。integrate with the local community and culture 表示融入當地社群與文化,符合句意與搭配。
- **(B) implement:錯誤。

【題組共用題幹】
For United States Government personnel abroad to host a banquet, round tables of six or more persons allow more flexibility than rectangular ones. Often it is more convenient to ____ at two or more tables of six or more persons. The advantage of this arrangement is that it affords more places of honor as the host and hostess can each have a co-hostess and cohost at their ____ tables. At seated meals, foreign guests should have precedence ____ Americans of comparable rank with the exception of an American Ambassador. American officials present on such occasions should understand that it is ____ to cede one’s rank to a representative of another country. They should forget precedence among themselves and be prepared to be seated in any way that will make conversation easier and will take language abilities into account. To avoid any misunderstanding, it would be well for the host or hostess to inform in advance any guest, whether American or foreign, who are not seated according to protocol, of the reason for this ____ from the norm. When a high official is a guest, they should obtain his prior permission.
- Often it is more convenient to ____ at two or more tables of six or more persons.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字在上下文中的搭配與語意。句子談的是宴會座位安排,空格後接「在兩張或更多張、每桌六人以上的桌子」,因此要選能表示「招待、宴請賓客」的動詞。
解題方法
先看句意:「Often it is more convenient to ____ at two or more tables of six or more persons.」意為「通常在兩張或更多張、每桌六人以上的桌子上,__會更方便。」前文說美國政府人員在海外舉辦宴會,後文接著說這種安排能提供更多尊位,整段都在討論如何招待賓客與安排座位,因此空格應是 entertain(招待、款待)。

When a high official is a guest, they should obtain his prior permission.
- The host and hostess can each have a co-hostess and cohost at their ____ tables.
核心觀念
本題考英文詞彙辨義與語境判讀,重點在於辨認形容詞 respective 的意思及其搭配。句中的 tables 是名詞,空格需要填入形容詞,說明兩位主人的共同主持人分別在哪些桌就座。
解題方法
句意是:「主人與女主人可以各自在他們各自的桌席安排一位共同女主人與一位共同主持人。」文中的 each 表示兩位主人各自對應安排;their respective tables 即「他們各自的桌席」,符合這層分配關係,因此選 respective。
選項分析
- (A) respective:正確。 意為「各自的、分別的」,常用於多人或多方各自對應的事物,如 their respective tables(他們各自的桌席)。

- At seated meals, foreign guests should have precedence ____ Americans of comparable rank with the exception of an American Ambassador.
核心觀念
本題考「優先於」的英文介系詞搭配。表示某人或某事的順位、地位高於另一方,常用 have precedence over + 人/事物,意思是「優先於……」。
題幹句意為:正式宴席中,外國賓客的順位應高於職級相當的美國人,只有美國大使例外。
解題方法
先看空格前的固定搭配:have precedence ____ Americans。precedence 表示「優先、先行的地位」,慣用搭配是 precedence over someone。因此空格填 over,句子表示外國賓客應優先於職級相當的美國人。
選項分析
- (A) ahead:
ahead of可表示「在……之前/領先於」,但不能直接說precedence ahead Americans;

- American officials present on such occasions should understand that it is ____ to cede one’s rank to a representative of another country.
核心觀念
本題考的是英文單字的詞義與語境搭配。句意談到美國官員在安排宴席座次時,應理解「將自己的位階讓給他國代表」是某種慣例。
解題方法
關鍵句為:
American officials present on such occasions should understand that it is ____ to cede one’s rank to a representative of another country.
cede 是「讓出、移交」;rank 在此指官員的「位階、級別」。空格需要填入形容詞,表示讓出自己的位階給他國代表,是座次安排中的「慣常做法」。
customary 意為「慣常的、合乎慣例的」,與宴會座次及外交禮儀的語境相符。整句意為:「出席這類場合的美國官員應了解,把自己的位階讓給他國代表是慣例。」

本題考英文單字在語境中的搭配與語意。句中的 departure from the norm 是固定搭配,意為「偏離常規、不同於一般做法」。
解題方法
前文說明,宴席座位有時會為了讓交談更順暢、配合語言能力,而不完全依照禮賓順位安排。這種安排不同於一般規範,因此主人應事先向未按禮賓規則安排座位的賓客說明原因,避免誤會。空格應填入表示「偏離」的名詞。
選項分析
- (A) adventure:意為「冒險、奇遇」,不表示偏離規範,與 from the norm 的搭配不合。
- (B) departure:意為「離開、偏離」。

【題組共用題幹】
Since the 1980s, immigration has drastically increased, making the city more ethnically and linguistically diverse. More than half of the people in Vancouver do not speak English as their first language. Almost 30% of the city’s inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. In the 1980s, an influx of immigrants from Hong Kong in anticipation of the transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China, combined with an increase in immigrants from mainland China and previous immigrants from Taiwan, established in Vancouver one of the highest concentrations of ethnic Chinese residents in North America. This arrival of Asian immigrants continued a tradition of immigration from around the world that had established Vancouver as the second-most popular destination for immigrants in Canada after Toronto. Other significant Asian ethnic groups in Vancouver are Filipino, Japanese, Korean, as well as sizeable communities of Vietnamese, Indonesians, and Cambodians.
Despite increases in Latin American immigration to Vancouver in the 1980s and '90s, recent immigration has been comparatively low, and African immigration has been similarly stagnant. The black population of Vancouver is rather scant in comparison to other Canadian major cities. The neighborhood of Strathcona was the core of the city’s Jewish community. Hogan’s Alley, a small area adjacent to Chinatown, just off Main Street at Prior, was once home to a significant black community.
Prior to the Hong Kong diaspora of the 1990s, the largest non-British ethnic groups in the city were Irish and German, followed by Scandinavian, Italian, Ukrainian and Chinese. From the mid-1950s until the 1980s, many Portuguese immigrants came to Vancouver and the city had the third-largest Portuguese population in Canada in 2001. Eastern Europeans began immigrating after the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe after World War II. Greek immigration increased in the late 1960s and early '70s, with most settling in the Kitsilano area.
- What is this passage mainly about?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀中的主旨判斷。作答時要找出全文反覆圍繞的核心主題,而不是只挑出其中一項細節。
文章介紹溫哥華不同族群的移民與人口組成,包括華裔、菲律賓裔、日裔、韓裔、愛爾蘭裔、德裔等族群,也提到移民人口的變化,以及特定族群聚居的街區。這些內容共同描述的是溫哥華的人口與族群概況。
解題方法
閱讀各段的重點,可見文章依序談到亞洲、拉丁美洲、非洲及歐洲移民,並介紹不同族群在溫哥華的分布與歷史變化。語言、移民潮與社區位置都是用來補充人口概況的細節。
因此,主旨應涵蓋整篇文章涉及的各族群與人口變遷,而不是只概括單一面向。
選項分析
- (A) Demographics in Vancouver.(溫哥華的人口概況)正確。 “Demographics” 指人口的組成與特徵。文章提及溫哥華居民的族裔背景、不同移民群體及其人口變化,與此選項最吻合。

- According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解與事實比對。題目問哪一項 NOT true(不符合文章),應逐項核對選項是否與文章明確敘述一致;無須額外運用法條或公式。
解題方法
先定位文章中與各選項相關的句子,再比對主詞、比較方向及地點:
- 多倫多是加拿大最受移民歡迎的城市,溫哥華排名第二。
- 溫哥華的黑人比例相較加拿大其他主要城市偏低。
- Strathcona 曾是溫哥華猶太社群的核心。
- Hogan’s Alley 曾有重要的黑人社群。
選項分析
- (A) 錯誤。 文章指出,來自世界各地的移民使溫哥華成為加拿大第二受歡迎的移民目的地,僅次於多倫多。選項卻說這些移民使多倫多成為最受歡迎的目的地,將文章所述的對象錯置。依文章內容判斷,這項陳述不正確。
- **(B) 正確,為本題答案。

- When was a Polish family most likely to immigrate to Vancouver?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解與時間線索判讀。題幹指出,東歐移民是在第二次世界大戰後、蘇聯接管東歐之後開始移入溫哥華;波蘭屬於東歐,因此依文章資訊,波蘭家庭最可能在二戰後移民。
解題方法
先定位題幹第三段的句子:「Eastern Europeans began immigrating after the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe after World War II.」意思是「東歐人在第二次世界大戰後、蘇聯接管東歐之後開始移民」。
再將題目中的 Polish(波蘭)歸入 Eastern European(東歐)族群,對應「第二次世界大戰後」的時間線索,即可選出 D。

- What does the word “stagnant” mean?
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的語意判讀。stagnant 的意思是「停滯的、沒有明顯成長或變化的」,用來形容人口或移民數量時,表示其增加緩慢,甚至沒有增加。
解題方法
先看上下文:文章指出,溫哥華在 1980、1990 年代拉丁美洲移民增加,但近年的移民相對較少;接著說非洲移民也同樣 stagnant。此處是在描述非洲移民增加有限、發展遲滯,因此應選表示「緩慢、遲滯」的字。
選項分析
- (A) Statistical:統計上的、統計學的。描述資料或分析方法,不能表示移民成長停滯。
