Take an exam 是什么意思?老师也能 take 吗

Take an exam 表示参加考试,不交代有没有通过。可句子的主语换成老师,就不是说他主持考试了:同一场考试,角色由哪个动词决定?

Take an exam 表示到场并完成考试任务,本身不说明结果。通过或未通过要分别用 pass 和 fail。英式英语也可以说 sit an exam,较随意时还可用 do an exam。

想记住 take an exam 的用法吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

take + an/the/your + exam; take an exam in + subject; sit an exam (BrE); pass / fail an exam

  • I'm taking my final maths exam on Monday, so I'm revising every evening.
  • Candidates who take the exam online must show their passport to the camera.
  • She took the exam twice before she finally passed it.

修改原因

修改前Tomorrow I'm passing my history exam, so I can't come.

修改后Tomorrow I'm taking my history exam, so I can't come.

Pass 容易被当成谈考试的通用动词,但它表示取得及格成绩、通过考试。I'm passing my history exam tomorrow 听起来像已经知道明天能通过。若只是说明明天要去考,应说 I'm taking my history exam。

Cambridge Dictionary

Take an exam 说的是考生参加考试。老师组织考试用 give:Our teacher gives us an exam at the end of every term。英式英语中,出题可以用 set an exam。因此 The teacher took the exam 表示老师以考生身份参加了考试。
