這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題為公職人員移民特考三等「外國文(葡萄牙文兼試移民專業英文)」的第一大題,題型為標準的「葡翻中名詞與動詞短語翻譯」,共 15 小題。

本題的核心評量重點在於國際政經、司法體制、移民人權與重大時事詞彙的掌握程度。綜觀整組題目的選詞邏輯,命題老師緊扣民國 107 年(西元 2018 年)巴西總統大選與**「洗車行動」(Operação Lava Jato)司法攻防之重大國際時事脈絡,結合了憲法、刑法、國際政治及經濟學的學術規範用語。考生不能僅依字典作字面直譯,必須具備將葡語法律與政治詞彙準確對譯為台灣法政與社科標準學術名詞**的能力。


解題方法

解答此類專業外語詞彙題,應採取以下三種切入途徑:

  1. 專業領域精準對譯法: 涉及法學、政治學及經濟學的詞彙,必須轉譯為台灣國家考試認可的標準學術用語。例如 Sistema parlamentar 不宜翻為字面的「國會系統」,應依政治學憲政體制標準譯為「內閣制」或「議會制」;Taxa de desemprego 應譯為統計學與經濟學規範名詞「失業率」。
  2. 語境與時事還原法: 識別具有強烈巴西本土憲政背景的詞彙。例如 Supremo Tribunal Federal 為巴西憲政架構下的終審司法機關;Ficha Limpa 涉及巴西 2010 年生效並於 2018 年大選嚴格適用的排黑條款(《清白法案》);Guerra jurídica 即國際政治學與當代法學探討的「法律戰」(Lawfare)。
  3. 詞構與詞性分析法: 拆解前綴、後綴以精確推導詞義與詞性。例如動詞 Desmascarar(前綴 des-「解除/反向」+ máscara「面具」+ -ar 動詞字尾);形容詞轉名詞 Presidenciável(字根 presidente「總統」+ -ável「具有……條件的」)。

詞彙詳解與考點分析

(一) Corporativismo

  • 詞性:陽性名詞
  • 標準譯名:法團主義、組合主義(亦可譯作:社團主義)
  • 解析與考點: 源自 corporação(同業公會、法人團體)。政治學與社會學核心概念,指國家將社會不同利益階層(如勞工、雇主、農民)組織成官方認可的單一壟斷性團體,由國家統一協調與控管的體制(例如 1930 年代巴西瓦加斯政權及歐洲法西斯政權之制度)。常見陷阱:切勿誤譯為現代商學之「企業主義」或「公司主義」。

(二) Comércio eletrônico

  • 詞性:名詞短語(陽性名詞 + 形容詞)
  • 標準譯名:電子商務(簡稱:電商)
  • 解析與考點: Comércio(貿易、商業)+ eletrônico(電子的),對應英文的 e-commerce。跨國經貿、全球化與跨境貨物流通之常用詞,翻譯明確直接,屬基本得分題。

(三) Desmascarar

  • 詞性:及物動詞
  • 標準譯名:揭露、揭穿、揭發(揭下……的面具)
  • 解析與考點: 構詞為 des-(去除)+ máscara(面具)+ -ar(第一類規則動詞後綴)。字面本義為「摘下假面具」,引申為「揭露陰謀、揭發偽裝、揭穿騙局」。在政治新聞中常用於指涉政客醜聞或非法勾當被公諸於世。

(四) Guerra nuclear

  • 詞性:名詞短語(陰性名詞 + 形容詞)
  • 標準譯名:核子戰爭、核戰
  • 解析與考點: Guerra(戰爭)+ nuclear(核子的)。國際安全、國際關係與戰略防衛之基本詞彙。

(五) Juiz criminal

  • 詞性:名詞短語(陽性名詞 + 形容詞)
  • 標準譯名:刑事法官、刑事審判官
  • 解析與考點: Juiz(法官)+ criminal(刑事的、犯罪的)。司法人員體系用語,專門負責審理刑事案件的法官(相對於民事法官 juiz cível)。2018 年巴西「洗車行動」的主審法官塞吉歐·莫羅(Sérgio Moro)即為著名的 juiz criminal / federal,因而成為當時高頻時事詞彙。

(六) Guerra jurídica

  • 詞性:名詞短語(陰性名詞 + 形容詞)
  • 標準譯名:法律戰
  • 解析與考點: Guerra(戰爭)+ jurídica(法律的、司法的)。對應英文的 Lawfare(Law + Warfare),指濫用或操弄司法程序、訴訟手段與法律體制,以達成抹黑、打壓政敵或阻礙特定政策施行的政治/軍事目的。常見陷阱:若直譯為「司法的戰爭」無法展現法政專業術語的精準度。

(七) Presidenciável

  • 詞性:形容詞作名詞(亦可作形容詞)
  • 標準譯名:總統候選人、具總統相者、有望角逐總統職位者
  • 解析與考點: 由 presidência(總統職位)加上具有「可能、適格」意涵的後綴 -ável 構成。常用於選舉新聞,指「已正式宣布或極有實力代表政黨出馬角逐總統大選的政治人物」。民國 107 年適逢巴西總統大選,該詞在葡語新聞中頻繁出現。

(八) Sistema parlamentar

  • 詞性:名詞短語(陽性名詞 + 形容詞)

請將下列葡萄牙文短文翻譯為中文:

OS IMPACTOS DA COPA DO MUNDO NO MERCADO

Em relação a visitas e vendas realizadas nas lojas, os estabelecimentos que vendem itens de esportes tiveram aumento do faturamento. Como os outros nichos tiveram queda, isso causou um impacto direto no atacado. Afinal, se não estão ocorrendo vendas no varejo digital e os produtos continuam no estoque, não vale mais a pena fazer compras no atacado, principalmente durante os primeiros jogos. Em 2014, as partidas que ocorreram durante os dias 12 e 23 de junho tiveram poucas vendas. A partir do dia 24, o movimento aumentou, embora com algumas quedas, quando o Brasil jogou.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題為民國 107 年移民特考三等「外國文(葡萄牙文兼試移民專業英文)」第二題,屬於外語專業科目中的商務經貿與重大社會活動結合的短文筆譯題。命題旨在測驗考生在非移民法規直接領域下,對當代社會脈動(世界盃足球賽)、商業零售與供應鏈專業術語的理解、長句結構拆解及轉譯為流暢繁體中文的能力。

本題評量核心包含:

  1. 商務與經貿專用詞彙掌握:如 faturamento(營業額、營收)、nichos(利基市場、特定品類市場)、atacado(批發端)與 varejo(零售端)、estoque(庫存)、varejo digital(網路零售、電商通路)。
  2. 語義脈絡化轉換能力(Contextual Translation):名詞 movimento 在日常語境為「運動、移動」,於商務脈絡中特指「人潮買氣、門市動態與交易活動」;動詞短語 não vale mais a pena(不再值得、不劃算)之精確表達。
  3. 複合句構分析與中文語序重組:處理包含原因子句(Como...)、條件假設子句(se não estão ocorrendo...)、讓步片語(embora com...)與時間關係副詞子句之長句,克服歐化中文語病。

解題方法

翻譯解題採取「語意拆解 →\to 結構重構 →\to 台灣商務用語校準」三步驟:

一、標題分析

  • 原文:OS IMPACTOS DA COPA DO MUNDO NO MERCADO
  • 語構:定冠詞複數名詞 os impactos(影響、衝擊)++ 介系詞片語 da Copa do Mundo(世界盃足球賽)++ 空間介系詞片語 no mercado(在市場上)。
  • 切入點:翻譯標題宜力求簡潔凝練,可譯為「世界盃足球賽對市場的衝擊」或「世界盃對市場的影響」。

二、內文逐句語法分析與翻譯要領

第一句:

  • 原文:Em relação a visitas e vendas realizadas nas lojas, os estabelecimentos que vendem itens de esportes tiveram aumento do faturamento.
  • 結構拆解:
  • 引介主題之介系詞片語:Em relação a...(就……而言、在……方面)。
  • 介系詞賓語核心:visitas e vendas realizadas nas lojas(在店內完成的來訪與銷售 →\to 實體門市的客流量與銷售量)。
  • 主要子句主詞:os estabelecimentos que vendem itens de esportes(販售體育用品的實體商家/店面,estabelecimentos 指商號、營業場所)。
  • 主要子句謂語:tiveram aumento do faturamento(獲得營收增長 →\to 營業額有所增加)。
  • 切入點:避免直譯成「關於在商店實現的訪問和銷售」,應採用商業標準用語「門市客流量與銷售額」。

第二句:

  • 原文:Como os outros nichos tiveram queda, isso causou um impacto direto no atacado.
  • 結構拆解:
  • 原因副詞子句:Como os outros nichos tiveram queda(由於其他利基市場/特定商品類別業績下滑)。como 在句首表原因。
  • 主要子句:isso causou um impacto direto no atacado(這對批發端造成了直接衝擊)。
  • 切入點:atacado(批發)與後續的 varejo(零售)形成產銷結構對比,宜精確譯為「批發端」或「批發業」。

第三句:

  • 原文:Afinal, se não estão ocorrendo vendas no varejo digital e os produtos continuam no estoque, não vale mais a pena fazer compras no atacado, principalmente durante os primeiros jogos.
  • 結構拆解:
  • 語氣副詞:Afinal(畢竟、說到底)。
  • 條件子句:se não estão ocorrendo vendas no varejo digital e os produtos continuam no estoque(如果數位零售/網路零售沒有業績,且商品持續積壓在庫存中)。

第 三 題30 分

作文:請以下列題目寫一篇 300 字之內的葡萄牙文作文。

Brasil - Impeachment ou Golpe de Estado?

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題為民國 107 年公職移民特考三等《外國文(葡萄牙文兼試移民專業英文)》之申論寫作題,評量重點在於考生對葡語系重要國家(巴西)之重大憲政爭議與政經時事之理解深度,以及葡萄牙文論說文(Texto Dissertativo-Argumentativo)之論點結構、專業詞彙及篇章修辭能力。

  1. 憲政法理基礎(以命題當年民國 107 年背景為準):
  • 核心事件為 2016 年巴西總統迪爾瑪·羅賽芙(Dilma Rousseff)遭國會彈劾案。
  • 合憲彈劾說(Impeachment):依據《巴西 1988 年憲法》(Constituição Federal de 1988)第 85 條及《第 1.079/1950 號法律》(Lei dos Crimes de Responsabilidade),總統若有預算法違法挪用(俗稱「財政腳踏車」pedaladas fiscais),構成「責任罪」(crime de responsabilidade),經眾議院立案、聯邦最高法院(STF)全程監督程序、參議院表決通過即為合法罷免。
  • 議會政變說(Golpe de Estado / Golpe Parlamentar):主張羅賽芙並無個人貪瀆之實質「犯罪故意」(dolo),類似財政調度以往歷任總統皆曾使用卻未被究責,反對派藉由經濟衰退、民意低迷及「洗車行動」(Operação Lava Jato)之政治氛圍,架空普選民意並奪取政權,實質上屬於「體制內/無煙硝的議會政變」。
  1. 語文測驗指標:
  • 是否具備 300 字內言簡意賅之論述掌控力。
  • 是否熟練運用政治法律專業詞彙(如:crime de responsabilidade、preceito constitucional、freios e contrapesos、mandato popular)。
  • 論說文連接詞(Conectivos)與論點層次對比邏輯(Por um lado... / Por outro lado... / Em suma...)。

解題方法

本題題目為問句形式「Brasil - Impeachment ou Golpe de Estado?」(巴西——彈劾還是政變?),在公職考試中,切忌陷入情緒化、單向偏激的政治宣傳,應採取客觀中立的**辯證架構(Tese, Antítese, Síntese)**展開論述:

  1. 引言段(Introdução):點出 2016 年羅賽芙遭解職事件引發巴西社會空前兩極化,帶出「憲政彈劾」與「議會政變」兩種對立詮釋。
  2. 正方論點(Desenvolvimento 1 - Argumento do Impeachment):從「程序合法性」切入,說明案件依據憲法與專法規定,由民意機關表決並在聯邦最高法院(STF)嚴格司法把關下進行,具備憲政形式正義。
  3. 反方論點(Desenvolvimento 2 - Argumento do Golpe):從「實質正當性」切入,說明「責任罪」之認定過於牽強,缺乏個人刑事不法,實為政治反對勢力利用經濟衰退發動之政治清算,侵犯直選總統之民意授權。
  4. 結論段(Conclusão):進行總結與提升,指出該事件在「形式上屬於合憲程序」,但在「實質運作上蘊含強烈政治動機」,是巴西民主制度脆弱性與政治極端化的顯著象徵。

選項分析

本題為非選擇題(葡萄牙文申論短文寫作),無單一選項,但針對題目核心爭點的二元對立,作答時須在文內逐一剖析兩種立場:

  1. 主張為「彈劾(Impeachment)」的論據:
  • 合憲合法性:程序嚴格遵循《巴西 1988 年憲法》第 85 條程序,並非軍事叛亂或廢除憲法。
  • 機關權限:參眾兩院皆達到法定三分之二多數決,且由最高法院院長主持審判,符合民主制衡(freios e contrapesos)精神。
  1. 主張為「政變(Golpe de Estado)」的論據:
  • 缺乏實質責任罪:預算挪用(pedaladas fiscais)屬行政慣例,未達罷免元首之嚴重罪行門檻。
  • 政治突襲:實質為國會反對聯盟結合保守菁英,利用民怨剝奪民選總統合法任期(mandato democrático),破壞了直接民主正當性。
  1. 高分定錨觀點:
  • 不作非黑即白的武斷二選一,而是論證「形式上的合法彈劾,實質上的政治政變」(Formalmente legal, substancialmente político),展現公務人員具備深厚之憲政分析與國際情勢理解力。

解題技巧

  1. 字數嚴格控制:
  • 題目明確限制「300 字之內」(300 palavras)。葡文寫作若超過限制會被直接扣分。最佳篇幅設定在 200 至 250 字之間,既能完整呈現四段式論述,又預留足夠的安全邊界。
  1. 專門詞彙精準度:
  • 使用精準法律術語:crime de responsabilidade(責任罪)、Supremo Tribunal Federal(聯邦最高法院)、manobras fiscais(財政操弄)、separação de poderes(權力分立)。
  1. 句型與時態搭配:

第 1 題1 分

Illegal immigrants are considered by some to be an economic ____ on the country because they use services while paying almost no taxes.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考固定搭配與上下文詞義。句中說非法移民「使用公共服務,卻幾乎不繳稅」,因此有人認為他們對國家經濟造成負擔。常見搭配是 an economic drain on the country,意為「對國家經濟的消耗或負擔」。

解題方法

先看空格後的 on the country,再用後半句的 because 找原因:使用服務、繳稅很少,描述的是資源被消耗、財政承受負擔。因此空格應填表示「消耗、負擔」的名詞 drain。

選項分析

  • (A) drain:正確。 a drain on ... 表示「對……的消耗、負擔」。an economic drain on the country 即「對國家經濟造成負擔」,與句意相符。

Most immigrants readily form or join existing cultural, recreational, social or "homeland" associations, where mutual aid and cooperative efforts ____.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考單字的語意與搭配。句意為:多數移民容易成立或加入既有的文化、休閒、社交或「祖籍國」社團,在這些社團中,互助與合作努力會逐漸萌芽、發展。

關鍵在空格主詞 mutual aid and cooperative efforts(互助與合作努力)。依上下文,社團提供成員互相協助、合作的環境,因此空格應填表示「萌芽、開始發展」的動詞。

解題方法

先判斷句意的正負方向:移民加入社團後,互助與合作應是逐步形成、發展的正向活動。再比對選項:

  • germinate:萌芽、開始發展,符合「互助與合作努力在社團中萌芽」的語意。
  • 其餘選項都表示沒收、歧視或根除,與句意不合。

選項分析

  • (A) confiscate:沒收、充公,常用於政府或權力機關依法或強制取得財物,例如 confiscate property(沒收財產)。不能表示互助或合作開始發展。
  • (B) discriminate:歧視;

第 3 題1 分

For countries where dual citizenships are not permitted, the ____ of original nationality should be required.

這一題的完整詳解

對於不允許雙重國籍的國家而言,應當要求其(歸化者)放棄原有國籍。


核心觀念

  1. 移民專業英文法律搭配詞(Legal Collocation): 本題測驗國際移民法與各國國籍法制中「放棄國籍」的標準法律英文專業術語。在探討國籍身分變動時,「放棄/聲明脫離國籍」的固定法政用語為 renunciation of nationality / citizenship。
  2. 國籍法制背景: 依各國國籍法慣例(以命題當年民國 107 年我國《國籍法》第 9 條為例,外國人申請歸化原則上應提出喪失原有國籍之證明;現行法雖針對高級專業人才等增訂免喪失原國籍之例外,但原則規範未變),單一國籍制(不承認雙重國籍)國家要求歸化者必須「拋棄/喪失」原有國籍,方能取得新國籍。

解題方法

  1. 句意邏輯分析:
  • 句首為條件狀語 "For countries where dual citizenships are not permitted"(對於不允許雙重國籍的國家而言)。
  • 既然該國制度嚴禁雙重國籍,外國人若要歸化或取得身分,主管機關必然會要求其對 "original nationality"(原有國籍)做出「放棄、割捨」的法律行為。
  1. 語意與詞彙搭配檢驗:
  • 空格位於定冠詞 "the" 與介系詞片語 "of original nationality" 之間,需填入具備相應法律效果的名詞。
  • 國際法及法學英文中,專門指涉「主動放棄、聲明拋棄(權利、信仰或國籍身分)」的正式名詞即為 renunciation(動詞為 renounce)。其餘選項皆無「拋棄法律身分」之意,故 (A) 為唯一正確解答。

選項分析

  • (A) renunciation【正確】
  • 詞性與詞義:名詞,意為「聲明放棄、宣告脫離、拋棄(權利、主張、國籍或信仰)」。
  • 動詞搭配:源自及物動詞 renounce(例如:renounce one's citizenship)。
  • 用法說明:在移民法中,renunciation of nationality 為標準法學名詞,指當事人依法自願放棄或脫離原屬國國籍之法律行為,完全切合不承認雙重國籍之情境。
  • (B) recalibration【錯誤】
  • 詞性與詞義:名詞,意為「重新校準、微調、重新評估」。
  • 錯誤原因:源自動詞 recalibrate,主要用於儀器刻度重校,或抽象層面的政策方針、戰略評估調整。

第 4 題1 分

In many countries, the immigration law puts a ban on employing aliens unless they are lawfully ____ for permanent residence or authorized to be employed.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「動詞與介系詞搭配」及移民、居留語境中的法律用語。句意是:許多國家的移民法禁止雇用外國人,除非該外國人已依法獲准永久居留,或已獲准工作。

空格前有副詞 lawfully(依法),後接 for permanent residence(永久居留)。符合語意與搭配的是 be admitted for permanent residence,意為「獲准永久居留」。

解題方法

先看句型:are lawfully ____ for permanent residence。空格需要能與 for permanent residence 搭配、表示「依法獲准」的過去分詞。admit 用於正式准入或許可;在移民語境中,be admitted for permanent residence 表示「獲准永久居留」。句中後半的 or authorized to be employed(或獲准受雇)也與前半形成兩種合法資格的並列。

選項分析

  • (A) admitted:正確。 admit 有「准許進入、准入」之意。be admitted for permanent residence 是符合移民語境的搭配,表示依法獲准永久居留。

Tourism operators targeting senior tourists usually provide activities that are not too physically ____.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查形容詞搭配。句中 physically demanding 表示「在體力上要求高的、耗費體力的」,常用來描述活動、工作或任務。

句意為:以年長遊客為對象的觀光業者,通常會提供體力要求不太高的活動。

解題方法

先看空格前的 physically(在體力上),再看句意:業者為年長遊客安排活動,通常會避免活動過於耗費體力。因此,空格應填入表示「要求高、費力」的形容詞;not too 則表示「不要太……」。

選項分析

  • (A) adapting:動詞 adapt 的現在分詞,表示「適應、調整」,不表示活動耗費體力;physically adapting 也不符合此處語意。

A passenger would be deemed a/an ____ when he/she is interdicted by an immigration officer for attempting to use a stolen passport to board a plane.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文單字在移民查驗情境中的意思。乘客企圖使用遭竊護照登機,遭移民官查獲,題目要判斷他會被視為哪一種人。

impostor 指「冒名者、假冒他人者」,可用於描述冒用他人身分或證件的人,符合題幹情境。

解題方法

先抓題幹關鍵:use a stolen passport(使用遭竊護照)以及 interdicted by an immigration officer(遭移民官攔查)。使用遭竊護照登機,表示乘客以不實身分或他人證件進行冒用,因此應選表示「冒名者」的 impostor。

People who skip or skimp on breakfast are more likely to have signs of plaque in their arteries than those who eat ____ breakfast.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「語境反義對比(Contextual Contrast)」與「字首 sub- 易混淆形容詞辨析及飲食搭配詞(Collocation)」。

考生須掌握兩大解題焦點:

  1. 比較結構中的語意反差:題幹透過比較級介系詞 than 形成兩類人群生活型態的強烈對比。前半句的動詞為 skip(略過、不吃)與 skimp on(克扣、吃得極少),因此後半句修飾早餐的形容詞必須是與其語意相反的「份量充足的、豐盛的」。
  2. 搭配詞運用:a substantial breakfast/meal 為英語中極常見之固定搭配,表示「豐盛飽足的早餐/餐點」。

題目與全文翻譯

題目: People who skip or skimp on breakfast are more likely to have signs of plaque in their arteries than those who eat ____ breakfast.

完整翻譯: 不吃早餐或早餐吃得極為簡略敷衍的人,比起吃豐盛早餐的人,動脈中出現斑塊(動脈粥狀硬化斑塊)的機率更高。


解題方法

  1. 分析句子結構與對比焦點:
  • 主詞群一:People who skip or skimp on breakfast(略過或草草打發早餐的人)。
  • 比較核心:are more likely to have signs of plaque in their arteries than...(比起……更可能動脈硬化)。
  • 主詞群二(對照組):those who eat ____ breakfast(吃……早餐的人)。
  1. 尋找語意線索(Clue):
  • skip 意為「跳過、不吃」。
  • skimp on 意為「節省、敷衍、捨不得花費/供給足夠份量」。
  • 題幹將兩組人進行對比,對照組既然是其相反行為,空格必填入表示「足量、充實、豐盛」的形容詞。
  1. 帶入選項檢驗:
  • 四個選項皆是以字首 sub-(在……之下、實質)開頭的形容詞。經比對,僅 (D) substantial 具有「大量的、豐盛的」之意,能修飾 breakfast 並與 skimp on 構成反義對比。

選項分析

  • (A) submissive【錯誤】
  • 詞性與字義:形容詞,意為「順從的、服從的、唯唯諾諾的」。
  • 構詞解析:源自動詞 submit(屈服、呈交)+ 形容詞字尾 -ive。

Gender stereotypes are set in children as early as age 6, so it's crucial to introduce an age-____ curriculum with regard to gender equality.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查複合形容詞 age-appropriate 的搭配與語意。appropriate 作形容詞,意為「適當的、合宜的」;age-appropriate 指「符合某年齡層需求或理解能力的」。句中 curriculum 是「課程」,因此空格應填能表達「適齡課程」的字。

解題方法

先看句意:性別刻板印象在兒童年僅 6 歲時便已形成,因此介紹性別平等課程時,課程內容與教學方式應符合兒童的年齡與發展程度。英文常用 age-appropriate curriculum 表示「適齡課程」,與句意吻合。

選項分析

  • (A) proof:「證明;證據」,常見於 waterproof(防水的)、proof of identity(身分證明)。age-proof curriculum 不是表示「適齡課程」的常見搭配。
  • (B) appropriate:「適當的、合宜的」。

Love, positivity, health, and family are all ingredients found in the ____ to happiness.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考辨近義字在固定搭配中的用法。句中提到愛、正向思考、健康與家庭,都是通往幸福的「要素」,因此空格應填入表示「食譜、配方」的 recipe。英文常用 the recipe to/for happiness 比喻「幸福的要素或秘訣」。

解題方法

先看空格前的 ingredients(材料、成分)。材料通常放進食譜中,兩者語意相互呼應;再看句意,愛、正向思考、健康與家庭被比喻為幸福的組成要素,因此 recipe 最符合上下文。

句意:愛、正向思考、健康與家庭,都是幸福的配方中包含的要素。

選項分析

  • (A) receipt:名詞,指「收據」或「收到、接收」。它不表示配方,不能與 ingredients 構成此處的比喻搭配。

解題方法

先看後一句的 That is,表示後文是在換句話說、解釋前句:外籍學生不被允許工作。因此前句應表達「沒有資格取得工作許可」,即 are not eligible to receive a work permit。句型中的 to receive 也符合 eligible to + 原形動詞 的用法。

選項分析

  • (A) eligible:符合。be eligible to receive 表示「有資格領取」,搭配否定詞 not 後即為「沒有資格領取

Roger White (2016) assumes that religion is a potential marker of cultural similarity between societies. Two societies that share a common religion or that ____ the same dominant religion are likely more culturally similar than are two societies that stick to different religious beliefs. Similar to language, which acts as a representation of culture and a means ____ culture can be transmitted, to the extent that religious views ____ or influence broader attitudes, norms, expectations, and mores, it can be viewed as a ____ that allows culture to be communicated across people and time periods. ____, the researcher employs two measures of religious distance between parent and host countries as a potential proxy variable for cultural differences. The results obtained from his study support his assumptions.

Two societies that share a common religion or that ____ the same dominant religion are likely more culturally similar than are two societies that stick to different religious beliefs.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考動詞片語與語境判讀。句意是在比較兩個社會的宗教信仰:若兩者信奉相同的主要宗教,文化相似度通常高於信仰不同宗教的社會。因此空格應填入表示「信奉、遵守」的片語。

解題方法

句型是 adhere to + 信仰、原則或規範,表示「信奉、堅持、遵守」。空格後接 the same dominant religion(相同的主要宗教),語意和搭配都符合:

兩個社會若共享相同宗教,或信奉相同的主要宗教,其文化相似度通常較高。

選項分析

  • (A) adhere to:正確。 意為「信奉、遵守、堅持」,adhere to a religion 可表示「信奉某種宗教」。

核心觀念

本題考關係子句中的介系詞片語 a means by which...,意思是「藉以……的方法/途徑」。句中 which 指前面的 a means,而 by 表示透過該途徑達成某事。

解題方法

先看空格後方的子句:culture can be transmitted(文化得以傳遞)。前文是 a means(一種方式),兩者合起來表達「文化得以傳遞的一種方式」,因此需用 by which 連接:

a means by which culture can be transmitted 一種藉以傳遞文化的方式

選項分析

  • (A) by which:正確。 by which 表示「藉由該方式」,符合 a means 與「文化得以傳遞」之間的語意及句法關係。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「動詞片語語意辨析」與「並列結構之語意邏輯銜接」。

  1. 並列結構的語意同向性:句中透過對等連接詞 or 連接空格處動詞片語與 influence(影響),共同支配後方的受詞(broader attitudes, norms, expectations, and mores)。兩者在脈絡中應具備連貫、協同之語意走向。
  2. 篇章主旨脈絡:全文探討宗教作為「文化相似性(cultural similarity)之指標」以及「文化傳遞媒介(means/vehicle)」。宗教觀念反映並形塑了社會群體的文化規範,因此此處需選取表示「契合、呼應、一致」之動詞片語。

解題方法

  1. 分析句子文法架構:

"...to the extent that religious views [ 13 ] or influence broader attitudes, norms, expectations, and mores, it can be viewed as a [ 14 ] that allows culture to be communicated..."

  • to the extent that... 為副詞子句,表「在……的程度上/範圍內」。
  • 子句主詞為 religious views(宗教觀點),述語為 [ 13 ] or influence,受詞為 broader attitudes, norms, expectations, and mores(更廣泛的態度、規範、期望與社會習俗)。
  1. 根據主旨鎖定語意極性: 作者的核心論點在於「宗教與文化息息相關,能表彰文化並促進文化跨世代傳播」。若宗教能作為文化的溝通載體,其宗教觀點勢必與該社會普遍的態度、習俗「相符、一致」或進一步「產生影響」。
  2. 比對選項語意: 選項中僅有 (A) align with 表正面呼應、契合;其餘三個選項 (B)、(C)、(D) 皆帶有負向衝突或分離的語義,與後文結論「可視為文化傳遞媒介」相互矛盾。

核心觀念

本題考查依上下文判斷字義,以及英文常見搭配詞。句中 a vessel that allows culture to be communicated across people and time periods 意為「一種讓文化能在人群與不同時代間傳遞的媒介」。因此,空格應填入能表示「媒介、載體」的名詞。

解題方法

先看空格後的關係子句:that allows culture to be communicated... 說明空格所指的事物具有「讓文化得以傳遞」的功能。再配合前文 Similar to language,作者將宗教觀點比作語言,視為文化的表徵與傳播方式。這裡需要的是「承載、傳遞某種內容的媒介」,因此選 vessel。

____, the researcher employs two measures of religious distance between parent and host countries as a potential proxy variable for cultural differences.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查語篇中的轉承副詞,要依前後句的邏輯關係,選出能銜接論點的詞。前文提出宗教可作為衡量不同社會文化相似度的指標;空格後說明研究者因此採用兩種宗教距離測量方式,作為文化差異的替代變項。兩者是「前述觀點導出後續研究作法」的因果與推論關係。

解題方法

先看空格所在句的主詞與動作:研究者「採用兩種宗教距離測量方式」來衡量文化差異。再回看前文:宗教信仰可能影響態度、規範、期待與習俗,也能使文化在人群與不同時代之間傳遞。既然宗教距離能反映文化差異,研究者因此將宗教距離作為文化差異的替代變項。

選項分析

  • (A) Accordingly:因此、據此。 表示依據前述理由採取後續作法,符合「宗教可以反映文化差異,因此研究者採用宗教距離作為替代變項」的邏輯,正確。

【題組共用題幹】

In April 1968, Britain was debating the Race Relations Act, which made it illegal to deny a person employment, housing or public services based on race or national origin. The law was intended to protect immigrants from Commonwealth nations, especially former colonies in the Caribbean, India, and Pakistan. The first of these immigrants, 492 Jamaicans, had arrived 20 years earlier. Hundreds of thousands followed.

"The immigrants were called over," says Sathnam Sanghera, an author whose Sikh parents emigrated from India during that time. "There was a labor shortage. There weren't enough people to run the factories after the war." The immigrants were granted British citizenship and helped rebuild Britain after World War II. But they faced racism. Landlords wouldn't rent to them. Some employers turned them away. The Race Relations Act was intended to protect immigrants.

The tension was especially obvious in Wolverhampton, one of the first cities in Britain to experience mass immigration. Enoch Powell, who represented Wolverhampton in Parliament, feared a race war coming because of mass immigration. On April 20, 1968, he took the stage at a Conservative Party event at the Midlands Hotel in Birmingham and gave an incendiary speech that would come to define him — and divide his country. In the speech, Powell warned, "that tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic ... is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect." He attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination. He said it was whites who were facing deprivation and that Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter. The Times of London immediately labeled it an "evil speech." Conservative Party leader Edward Heath dismissed Powell from the party leadership. But polls showed a majority of Britons supported Powell. Many protested, saying, "Powell was right." The speech emboldened racists.

What is this passage mainly about?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查主旨判斷:要從整篇文章找出作者主要在談的議題,而不是只挑出其中一個人物、地點或法案。判斷時應留意文章的背景、事件發展及結果,尤其是反覆出現或貫穿全文的核心概念。

解題方法

文章先介紹《種族關係法》原本是為了保障移民免受歧視,接著說明移民在英國遭遇的種族歧視,再聚焦於鮑威爾(Enoch Powell)反對移民及相關法案的演說。演說指稱白人受到剝奪、批評移民大量入境;雖然他因此遭到政黨領袖處分,仍獲得多數民眾支持,並使種族主義者更加受到鼓舞。

因此,法案、城市與演說都服務於同一條主線:英國社會中的反移民情緒及其擴大。最能涵蓋全文主旨的是 (D) Anti-immigration in Britain(英國的反移民情緒)。

選項分析

  • (A) Race Relations Act. 錯誤。文章確實介紹《種族關係法》,但法案是保障移民免受歧視的背景;後文主要著重於鮑威爾反對移民與反歧視法案的演說,以及該演說如何獲得民眾支持、助長種族主義。選項只涵蓋文章的一部分。

Which of the following best describes the intention of drafting the Race Relations Act?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文閱讀理解,重點是掌握《Race Relations Act》(種族關係法)的立法目的。題幹開頭直接說明,該法禁止雇主、房東或公共服務提供者因他人的種族或國籍而拒絕提供工作、住房或服務,立法目的在於保護移民免受歧視。

解題方法

先找題幹對法律目的的明確描述:法律使人不得基於種族或國籍拒絕他人工作、住房或公共服務,並且「旨在保護來自大英國協國家的移民」。再將這項目的與各選項比對,選出涵蓋「防止因種族而受到差別待遇」的選項。

選項分析

  • (A) To boost population growth of the country. 錯誤。題幹沒有說該法是為了增加英國人口;法律內容是禁止歧視,並非鼓勵人口成長。

  • (B) To welcome Commonwealth nationals to become labors in Britain. 錯誤。

核心觀念

本題考主旨判斷。主旨題要找出段落中涵蓋範圍最完整的核心訊息,而非只挑選其中一項細節。

解題方法

第二段先說明移民來到英國的背景:戰後勞工短缺,移民受邀前來並取得英國公民身分,協助重建英國;接著以「But」轉折,指出他們仍遭遇種族歧視,例如房東拒絕出租、雇主拒絕聘用。段落最後再次說明《種族關係法》旨在保護移民。

因此,段落重點是移民對英國重建的貢獻,以及他們同時面臨的歧視。

But polls showed a majority of Britons supported Powell. Many protested, saying, "Powell was right." The speech emboldened racists.

According to the third paragraph, why did Powell attack the bill?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「長篇閱讀理解之段落細節定位與論點歸納(Detail & Argument Identification)」。 解題的核心在於:

  1. 掌握特定人物(英國國會議員 Enoch Powell)在特定歷史脈絡下的政治立場與發言脈絡。
  2. 釐清因果關係(Why did Powell attack the bill?),精準定位第三段中發言者抨擊《族群關係法案》(Race Relations Act)所持之核心論據。
  3. 辨析作者在引述發言時所使用的轉述子句結構(He said... and that...)。

解題方法

  1. 定位題幹關鍵字: 題幹詢問「According to the third paragraph, why did Powell attack the bill?」(根據第三段,鮑威爾為何攻擊該法案?)。請直接鎖定第三段中出現「attacked the bill」之關鍵句及其後續補充說明。
  2. 分析第三段原文脈絡:
  • 原文第 6~8 句:「He attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination. He said it was whites who were facing deprivation and that Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter.」
  • 句型結構分析: 鮑威爾抨擊禁止歧視的法案(attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination),其後接續兩個由連接詞 that 引導的名詞子句,說明他抨擊的理由與論點:
  • 子句一:認為受剝奪的是白人(whites who were facing deprivation)。
  • 子句二:直指英國整體政策方向認為「必須允許大量移民湧入」簡直是舉國發瘋(Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter)。
  1. 對應選項與命題邏輯: 出題者將該法案及背後的國家政策定性為「英國必須允許大量移民進入」(Britain must permit large numbers of immigrants to enter),而鮑威爾正是將這項政策與法案視為國家自毀的荒謬舉措(must be mad... to be permitting)而加以痛批,故官方答案定為 (C)。

選項分析

  • (A) Immigrants were being mistreated.(移民正遭受不當對待)——【錯誤】 第二段雖提及二戰後移民遭受歧視、房東拒租等不當對待,但第三段的鮑威爾是持強烈反移民立場的保守派議員。他反對該法案並非為了替少數族裔爭取權益,而是認為法案過度保護移民,本選項與鮑威爾的政治立場完全相反。

  • (B) People neglected immigration laws.(人們忽視了移民法規)——【錯誤】

Which of the following is true about Enoch Powell and his speech?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解:能否從文章中辨認人物、政黨立場,以及一場演說與《種族關係法》(Race Relations Act)之間的關係。作答時應以文中明確敘述為準,避免把演說者的主張誤當成文章認可的事實。

解題方法

先抓文章中的關鍵資訊:法律旨在保護移民免受種族歧視;Powell 批評這項法案,並以移民問題煽動種族對立;保守黨領袖 Edward Heath 隨即解除 Powell 的黨內領導職務。這表示 Powell 的政治立場沒有獲得黨領袖支持,與選項 (C) 相符。

選項分析

  • (A) Powell's speech initiated Britain's immigration laws. 錯誤。文章說《種族關係法》旨在禁止因種族或國籍而拒絕提供工作、住房或公共服務;Powell 的演說是批評這項法案,並非促成英國移民法的起點。

  • (B) Powell's speech terminated the Race Relations Act. 錯誤。文章沒有說演說終止或廢除《種族關係法》。
