“高考”用英語怎么說？
“高考”用英語怎么說?
首先，英美國(guó)人對(duì)高考的理解貌似跟我們不太一樣，有些人認(rèn)為它可以籠統(tǒng)地算作一場(chǎng)考試，因此用的是單數(shù)exam;而有些人認(rèn)為它是一系列的考試，所以要用復(fù)數(shù)exams，各有各的道理。
其次，這個(gè)“高”(高等學(xué)校)是翻譯成college還是university?我們常常聽到的解釋是“college是學(xué)院，而university是綜合性大學(xué)”。其實(shí)都可以，尤其是在美國(guó)英語中，MacMillan English Dictionary - American是這樣解釋college的：in the U.S., a place that gives students degrees. A school of this type can also be called a university if it is large enough to give degrees in more than one subject。
因此，“高考”可譯為：
the national college entrance exam
直譯是“全國(guó)大學(xué)入門考試”。
注意事項(xiàng)：
1. 每個(gè)單詞一般都不大寫，除非在句首;
2. 其中的college說成university也可以，exam用exams也可以。
