寒窗苦读十几年, 却竟连 "Exam"&"Test" 都没分清!

说到Examination＂考试＂，其实我们在一生中要面临无数场＂考试＂，但并不是每一场考试都＂隆重＂到用Examination这个词。英文字大体上分为:Exam, test, quiz三种, 那么究竟有何区别? Examination/exam 正式考试 He did very well in the entrance examination. 他在入学考试中成绩很好。 Test 平时小考 I have an English test this afternoon. 我今天下午有一个英语考试。 Quiz 没有准备的小测验 Our teacher likes to give quizzes before class. 我们老师特别喜欢在课前进行小测验 当然, 除了这三大类考试, 平时我们平时还会遇到这些: Midterm 期中考试 Do you know what's going to be covered on the midterm? 你知道其中考试的范围是什么吗? Final期末考试 The final will be a comprehensive test. 期末考是没有范围的。 Closed-book exam 闭卷考试 You definitely can't bring your book, it's a closed-book exam. 你当然不能带书了啊, 这是闭卷考试 Open-book exam 开卷考试 How I wish it could be an open-book exam! 我多希望能是开卷考试啊!
