核心觀念
本題考查觀光與旅運相關的兩項基本名詞:旅客購物時的加值型營業稅退稅(VAT Refund),以及企業獎勵員工或合作夥伴的獎勵旅遊(Incentive Travel)。作答時應用英文清楚說明名詞的目的、適用對象與基本運作方式,不必延伸成各國退稅規定或旅遊行程設計細節。
解題方法
採用「定義+目的+運作方式」的答題架構:
- VAT Refund:說明 VAT 是什麼、何種旅客購物後可以申請退還,以及退稅的政策目的。
- Incentive Travel:說明這類旅遊由誰安排、提供給哪些人,以及它如何作為獎勵或激勵工具。
題目沒有指定特定國家的制度,因此以觀光英語中的一般定義作答,不加入特定國家的金額門檻或申請程序。
參考作答
(一) VAT Refund
A VAT refund is the repayment of value-added tax paid by eligible visitors on goods purchased in a country and taken out of that country. It is generally intended for non-resident travelers, subject to the country’s rules and procedures, and helps avoid taxing consumption that takes place outside the country.
(二) Incentive Travel

核心觀念
本題為英譯中,重點是掌握文章主旨與段落脈絡,並將觀光、健康生活及永續發展相關詞彙譯得準確、自然。文中的 LOHAS 是 Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability 的縮寫,意指「健康與永續生活型態」。翻譯時應兼顧原文資訊與中文表達,避免逐字直譯造成語意生硬。
解題方法
依原文句序分段理解,再以「主旨—特色—體驗方式—邀請探索—總結感受」串起全文:
- 開頭交代 LOHAS 運動日益普及,並指出臺灣成為適合追求身心健康、生活平衡及永續生活的旅遊目的地。
- 接著描述臺灣融合東方智慧與現代創意,提供滋養身心的多元體驗。
- 中段列舉遊覽山景、沿海騎自行車、享受茶道等活動,說明臺灣能讓旅客體會自然與日常生活的和諧。
- 後段以健康料理、戶外運動、休閒活動及溫泉、草藥療法等傳統養生方式,具體說明臺灣式 LOHAS。
- 結尾收束於旅途中感受到的溫暖、活力與永續精神。
翻譯時將 nurture both body and mind 譯為「滋養身心」,將 harmony between nature and daily living 譯為「自然與日常生活之間的和諧」,以保留原文意象並符合中文習慣。
參考譯文
隨著全球「樂活」(LOHAS,即健康與永續生活型態)運動日益盛行,臺灣已成為深受旅客青睞的理想目的地,特別適合追求身心健康、生活平衡與永續生活方式的人們。這座島嶼融合東方智慧與現代創意,提供無盡的機會,讓人滋養身心。

核心觀念
本題測驗觀光英語中譯英,重點是將景點活動介紹轉化為自然、完整的英文,而非逐字對譯。作答時須掌握活動主辦單位、舉辦年數、活動特色、參加者體驗、觀光意義及未來展望,並妥善使用英文的時間表達、關係子句與平行結構。
解題方法
先依文章脈絡拆成六個資訊層次,再逐層翻譯:
- 主辦單位每年舉辦「阿里山神木下婚禮」,並邀請國內外新人參加。
- 活動從創辦至 2025 年已連續舉辦 19 年。
- 活動結合自然景觀與文化體驗,象徵愛情的純粹與永恆。

- 活動展現臺灣婚禮旅遊特色,帶給賓客祝福與浪漫回憶。
- 主辦單位將持續推動活動,邀請更多新人前來。
翻譯時,機關名稱可採清楚易懂的英文表達;「互許終生」可譯為 vow to spend their lives together;「見證」可用 witness;「在地風情」可用 local culture and way of life。中文長句則適度拆句,讓英文句構清楚自然。

核心觀念
本題測驗考生能否說明聯合國「永續發展目標」(Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs)與觀光發展的關係,並以具體案例及個人建議,完成一篇 250 至 300 字的英文論說文。SDGs 是聯合國 2030 年永續發展議程所訂定的全球目標,涵蓋消除貧窮、尊嚴就業、責任消費與生產、氣候行動,以及保育陸域與海洋生態等面向。
觀光能創造就業、帶動地方經濟,也能促進文化交流;但若未妥善管理,也會造成資源耗用、污染、碳排放、棲地破壞與文化商品化。因此,永續觀光的核心,是在發展觀光的同時,兼顧經濟效益、社會公平、文化保存與環境保護。
解題方法
建議採用「定義與關聯 → 重要性 → 案例 → 建議與結論」的四段式架構:
- 開頭:說明觀光與 SDGs 的關係,指出觀光既能促進發展,也會帶來管理挑戰。
- 主體一:舉出觀光促進就業、地方收入及文化保存等效益,並連結 SDGs。
- 主體二:提供臺灣或其他國家的具體案例,說明永續措施如何落實。
- 結尾:提出政府、業者及旅客可以採取的作法,回扣永續發展。
下列範文共 268 字,落在題目要求的 250 至 300 字範圍內。

Tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals
Tourism is closely connected with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It can create jobs, support local businesses, and introduce visitors to different cultures. These benefits contribute to goals such as decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, and sustainable communities. However, tourism can also increase waste, carbon emissions, and pressure on natural habitats. Its contribution to the SDGs therefore depends on how it is planned and managed.
Sustainable tourism is important because it meets the needs of visitors and host communities while protecting resources for the future. When local residents share in tourism income, development can reduce poverty and strengthen community pride. When destinations protect forests, coastlines, and historic sites, tourism can also encourage people to value cultural and natural heritage. B
