核心觀念
本題為公職人員移民特考(三等)外國文(葡萄牙文)典型的「專業詞彙精確對譯題」。命題主要測驗考生三大核心能力:
- 人力資源與職場職能語彙(HR & Competency):如第 1、2、3、4、5、8、10、12、13 題,此類詞彙大量出現於公職徵才、職能評鑑與履歷規格中,考查考生能否精準轉譯為台灣公共行政與管理學之標準術語。
- 社會人口與政經議題語彙(Socio-Economic Issues):如第 6、7、11 題,涵蓋人口政策(少子化)、賦稅制度與企業責任,皆為移民行政與國家治理密切相關之時事政策詞彙。
- 多義字與經典文化典故(Polysemy & Cultural Idiom):如第 9、14、15 題,測試考生脫離單一字典釋義、因應語境與文化背景(如拉丁歷史典故、名詞借代)靈活對譯之能力。
解題方法
翻譯專業名詞與固定慣用語,切忌「逐字硬譯」,應依循以下三步驟定案譯文:
- 結構分析與構詞還原:拆解複合字與固定介系詞搭配(如 Auto- + didatismo、Tomada de decisão、Trabalhar em equipe),掌握核心語意。
- 語域對應(Register Matching):將葡萄牙文概念置換為台灣官方、學界或國家考試慣用的標準中文專有名詞(例如:Carga tributária 對應財稅學之「租稅負擔/稅負」,而非字面的「稅收重量」)。
- 辨識歷史成語與多義借代:對於如 A sorte está lançada! 等格言,須立即辨識其拉丁文典故(Alea iacta est),並以中文對等成語定譯;多義詞如 Folha,需備齊其在植物學、書寫載體及商業人力資源領域的主要核心義項。
題目逐項解析
-
1. Vocação profissional
-
詞彙拆解:Vocação 源於拉丁文 vocatio(召喚、天命),現代管理學與心理學中指「天賦志向、性向」;Profissional 為形容詞「職業的、專業的」。
-
考點解析:此處不可僅翻作「專業興趣」,其正式學名為「職業性向」或「職業志向」,亦可引申指對工作的召命感「職業天職」。
-
2. Capacidade de trabalhar em equipe
-
詞彙拆解:Capacidade(能力)+ de trabalhar(工作)+ em equipe(團隊中)。
-
考點解析:職場核心職能(Soft skills)最常見的術語,標準中文表述為「團隊合作能力」或「團隊協作能力」。
-
3. Domínio de idiomas
-
詞彙拆解:Domínio 指對某項技藝或知識的「掌控、精通、熟練」;Idiomas 為「語言、外語」。
-
考點解析:名詞詞組,譯為「語言熟練度」、「外語掌握能力」或轉化為動賓結構「精通多國語言」。
-
4. Domínio de informática
-
詞彙拆解:Informática 為「資訊科學、電腦科技」。
-
考點解析:與第 3 題同為能力指標,指掌握電腦與資訊系統之能力,正式用語為「電腦應用能力」或「資訊素養/電腦資訊技能」。
-
5. Autodidatismo
-
詞彙拆解:前綴 Auto-(自體)+ 希臘字根 didaktikos(教學、學習)+ 名詞後綴 -ismo(主義、行為特性)。
-
考點解析:形容非透過學校系統、靠個人獨立修習知識的特質,標準學術中文為「自學能力」或「自修/自學精神」。
-
6. Baixa taxa de natalidade
-
詞彙拆解:Baixa(低)+ taxa de natalidade(出生率/生育率)。
-
考點解析:人口學固定名詞,精確譯為「低出生率」。在台灣公共政策語境中,此現象常與「少子化」直接連結。
-
7. Responsabilidade social
-
詞彙拆解:Responsabilidade(責任)+ social(社會的)。
-
考點解析:商管與公共行政常見術語(如 CSR: Responsabilidade Social Corporativa),精確對譯為「社會責任」。
-
8. Habilidade em tomada de decisão
-
詞彙拆解:Habilidade em(在……方面的技能)+ tomada de decisão(決策、做出決定,tomar decisão 之名詞化型態)。
-
考點解析:管理學領導職能之一,標準譯為「決策能力」或「決策技巧」。

詞彙拆解:Comidas(食物、菜餚)+ típicas(典型的、具地方代表性的)。
第 二 題30 分
請將下列葡萄牙文短文翻譯為中文:

Essa medida faz parte da resolução 168/04, aprovada pelo Contran (Conselho Nacional de Trânsito), em dezembro de 2004, prevista no Código de Trânsito Brasileiro.
Essa exigência atinge apenas esses motoristas porque o curso já é exigido desde 21 de janeiro de 1998, quando entrou em vigor o novo Código de Trânsito Brasileiro.
Lembramos que a realização do exame médico é o primeiro procedimento a ser obedecido.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題為外文(葡萄牙文)公文與法規公告之「筆譯(葡譯中)」題型,考查考生對巴西行政法規、交通法規體系名詞及公務公告文體的掌握程度。評分核心著重於:
- 文法與句構解析能力:包含多重關係代名詞子句(雙重
que的指涉層次)、條件式未來虛擬式(precisarem)、時間副詞與介系詞片語的時間軸邏輯(a partir de、há mais de、anterior a、desde、quando),以及分詞修飾(aprovada、prevista)與動詞不定詞被動結構(a ser obedecido)。 - 專有名詞與法政術語對譯:
Carteira Nacional de Habilitação (CNH):巴西國家駕駛執照(簡稱駕照)。Contran (Conselho Nacional de Trânsito):國家交通委員會。Código de Trânsito Brasileiro (CTB):巴西交通法典。Primeiros Socorros e Direção Defensiva:急救與防禦駕駛。entrou em vigor:生效、施行。
- 公務文體之語氣轉換:葡文公告常使用第一人稱複數(如
Lembramos que),漢譯時應調整為客觀、正式的公務告示用語(「提醒注意」或「請注意」),切忌死譯為「我們記得」。
解題方法
翻譯行政公告時,切入點為「先理順時間邏輯,再解構主從子句」,最後以符合台灣公務中文之語序重新組裝。逐句解析如下:
第一句
A partir de 28 de junho de 2005, os motoristas que possuem Carteira Nacional de Habilitação (CNH) há mais de sete anos, ou seja, anterior a 22/11/1999, que precisarem renovar suas carteiras terão que fazer os cursos de Primeiros Socorros e Direção Defensiva.
- 結構拆解:
- 時間起點:
A partir de 28 de junho de 2005(自 2005 年 6 月 28 日起)。 - 主詞及限定修飾:
os motoristas(駕駛人),後接兩個關係代名詞子句:
que possuem CNH há mais de sete anos, ou seja, anterior a 22/11/1999:持有 CNH 超過七年,亦即於 1999 年 11 月 22 日前取得者。que precisarem renovar suas carteiras:使用虛擬式未來時(precisarem),表未來假設條件,「凡需更換(換發)其駕照者」。
- 主要動詞與受詞:
terão que fazer os cursos de...(必須參加/修習……課程)。 - 轉譯要點:中文宜採「條件前置」語序,先交代實施日期與適用對象條件,再點出義務作為(修習課程)。
第二句
Essa medida faz parte da resolução 168/04, aprovada pelo Contran (Conselho Nacional de Trânsito), em dezembro de 2004, prevista no Código de Trânsito Brasileiro.
- 結構拆解:
- 主幹:
Essa medida faz parte da resolução 168/04(該措施係屬第 168/04 號決議之一部分)。 - 後置被動修飾:
第 三 題30 分
請以下列題目寫一篇 300 字之內的葡萄牙文作文。
Você utiliza o Terminal Rodoviário Taipei? 你使用臺北轉運站嗎?
Quando? 什麼時候?
Qual é seu meio de transporte favorito para longas distâncias? 您最喜愛使用的長途交通工具是什麼?
E para curtas distâncias? 那麼短程呢?
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題為民國 108 年公職移民特考三等《外國文(葡萄牙文兼試移民專業英文)》之申論作文字彙題,題型為引導式簡短論述文(Redação Guiada / Resposta Orientada)。考選部評閱公職外語作文之核心評分指標如下:
- 任務達成度(Task Achievement / Cumprimento da Tarefa): 題目共提出四個核心問題,考生必須在同一篇結構嚴謹的文章中全數回應,不可遺漏任何一項:
- 是否使用臺北轉運站(Você utiliza o Terminal Rodoviário Taipei?)
- 何時使用(Quando?)
- 最喜愛的長途交通工具(Qual é seu meio de transporte favorito para longas distâncias?)
- 最喜愛的短程交通工具(E para curtas distâncias?)
- 語意連貫與銜接(Coerência e Coesão Textual): 嚴禁以條列問答(Q&A)方式作答,必須轉化為具備段落邏輯的完整文章,善用葡萄牙文連接詞(Conectivos,如:além disso, por outro lado, portanto, no que diz respeito a)串聯語意。
- 語法精確度與詞彙廣度(Precisão Gramatical e Amplitude Lexical): 主要使用**直陳式現在式(Presente do Indicativo)**表達個人習慣、事實與偏好;正確運用交通工具專屬介系詞搭配(如:de ônibus, de trem, a pé);展現進階動詞(utilizar, recorrer a, optar por, deslocar-se)與交通專業詞彙。
- 篇幅限制(Extensão Textual): 題目嚴格限定「300 字之內」(以葡萄牙文字數 palavras 計)。國考最佳字數落點為 180~240 字,既能充分展開論據,又能避免超字失分或因篇幅過長增加語法失誤率。
解題方法
本題採取「標準三段式結構」,將四個引導問題有機融合為開展、承接與總結:
第一段:引言與場景(回應 Q1 + Q2)
└ 肯定回答使用臺北轉運站 + 說明使用時機與目的(返鄉探親、假日旅遊)。
第二段:長途交通工具偏好與論據(回應 Q3)
└ 提出長途首選(台灣高鐵或國道客運) + 佐證理由(極速、準時、舒適、避開塞車)。
第三段:短程交通工具偏好與結論(回應 Q4 + 收尾)
└ 提出短程首選(捷運 MRT、步行或公共自行車) + 綜合評述交通工具對現代生活的意義。
- 第一段切入點:明確肯定自己使用該轉運站(若回答否定,後續「何時使用」將難以展開,徒增寫作難度)。強調其作為交通樞紐(nó central de transportes)的重要性。
- 第二段切入點:長途運具以「台灣高鐵(THSR / Trem de Alta Velocidade)」為佳,並可順帶提及轉運站客運(ônibus interurbano)作為對照,突顯考生對臺灣交通實況的描繪能力。
- 第三段切入點:短程運具點出臺北捷運(metrô / MRT)與步行(caminhada),強調機動性、避開塞車與環保健康,最後以一句具概括力的高分結語收尾。
題目設問深入分析
針對題目提出的四個引導設問,逐項剖析寫作策略與評分關鍵:
- 設問一:Você utiliza o Terminal Rodoviário Taipei?(你使用臺北轉運站嗎?)
- 分析與策略:應直接以肯定句明確表態(例:Sim, utilizo com frequência...)。切忌模稜兩可,這奠定了全篇的真實感與經驗基礎。
- 設問二:Quando?(什麼時候?)
- 分析與策略:不可僅寫單一時間詞(如 às vezes),應具體交代情境與頻率(例:durante feriados prolongados ou fins de semana, quando viajo para o centro ou sul de Taiwan...),擴充句型層次。
- 設問三:Qual é seu meio de transporte favorito para longas distâncias?(您最喜愛使用的長途交通工具是什麼?)
- 分析與策略:提出運具名稱後,必須給出至少兩項以上的客觀理由(如:rapidez, pontualidade, conforto)。若選擇高鐵,可說明其高效率;若選擇客運,可強調其經濟實惠與班次密集。
- 設問四:E para curtas distâncias?(那麼短程呢?)
- 分析與策略:須與第二段形成對比,使用對比銜接詞(如:Por outro lado, Em contrapartida, No que tange a curtas distâncias)。闡明市區短途選擇(如捷運、公車、YouBike),並點出其避開壅塞(evitar congestionamentos)的優點。
解題技巧與常見陷阱
- 交通工具介系詞固定搭配(極高頻陷阱):
- 使用一般動力交通工具時,介系詞用 de:ir de ônibus, de trem, de metrô, de carro, de avião。
- 步行或騎乘動物時,介系詞用 a:ir a pé, andar a cavalo。
- 騎乘腳踏車/機車:葡萄牙語習慣使用 de bicicleta, de moto 或動詞 andar de bicicleta。
- 動詞搭配與選詞精準度:
- 搭乘交通工具:避免全篇只用 usar,改用 pegar o ônibus, apanhar o metrô, tomar o trem 或 recorrer a。
- 選擇某運具:使用 optar por(注意介系詞為 por,如 opto pelo metrô)、preferir X a Y(葡萄牙語「比起 Y 更喜歡 X」語法為 preferir X a Y,嚴禁受英語影響寫成 preferir X do que Y)。
- 拼寫與專有名詞轉換:
- 臺北轉運站:Terminal Rodoviário Taipei(照題目專有名詞使用,亦可加定冠詞 o Terminal Rodoviário de Taipei)。
- 捷運:metrô(巴葡)或 metro(歐葡),亦可直接加註括號 (MRT)。
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.
核心觀念
本題考英文介系詞與固定搭配。句意是:「在正式宴席中,外國賓客的座次優先於同等級的美國人。」表示一方在地位、順序或待遇上優於另一方,常用 have precedence over,其中 precedence 是「優先地位、優先順序」。
解題方法
先看空格後的比較對象:Americans of comparable rank(同等級的美國人)。此處要表達外國賓客相較於美國人享有優先座次,因此需使用表示「優先於」的介系詞搭配 precedence over。

- 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。」

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.
- The reason for this ____ from the norm.
核心觀念
本題考常見字義與固定搭配。句中 departure from the norm 是慣用語,意思是「偏離常規、與一般做法不同」。前文提到,若賓客未依照禮賓排序入座,主人應事先說明這項安排與一般規範不同的原因。
解題方法
先看空格後的 from the norm。能自然與 from 搭配,並表示「偏離」的名詞是 departure。代回句子:
To avoid any misunderstanding, it would be well for the host or hostess to inform in advance any guest … of the reason for this departure from the norm.
意思是:「為避免誤解,主人最好事先向未依禮賓規範安排座位的賓客,說明這項偏離常規的原因。」

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。
