過去簡單式

It's been five years since I sat my university finals and I still have nightmares about turning over a test paper and not knowing the answers.

離我考大學期末考已經五年了，我還是會做惡夢，夢到翻開考卷卻不知道答案。

形容詞最高級

It was the most stressful experience of my life.

那是我人生中最有壓力的一段經歷。

After that, I promised I'd never do an exam again, and I haven't.

之後，我發誓再也不要考試了，而且我也做到了。

I'll admit that passing those exams helped me land a decent job, but

我承認通過那些考試確實幫助我找到了一份不錯的工作，但是

I have never needed to use any of the information I learned while working here.

我從來沒有在工作上用到過任何我學到的資訊。

Employers seem to think that by hiring someone with a high level qualification, they are getting a better worker, but

僱主似乎認為，聘用一個擁有高學歷的人，就能得到一個更好的員工，但

Some people at my workplace have amazing grades in their postgraduate qualifications, but

我工作場所裡有些人擁有很棒的進修學歷成績，但

they are no better at their job than anyone else.

他們的工作表現跟其他人比起來並沒有比較好。

Actually, some of them are awful to work with.

People can be trained to do most jobs and the skills you need, like having good people skills of being creative and being able to respond effectively to different situations, just can't be tested in exams.

大多數工作都可以訓練一個人去勝任，而像人際溝通、創意發想、或是能有效應對不同情況等技能，是無法透過考試來評量的。

When I was in school, I was always at the top of the class and aced my exams.

我在學校的時候，總是名列前茅，考試也都滿分。

My teachers loved me and my classmates parents wished their kids were more like me.

我的老師們很喜歡我，同學的家長也希望他們的孩子能多像我一點。

My classmates hated me, of course, but that didn't bother me.

同學們當然討厭我，但這並不困擾我。

To be honest, doing well in exams gave me confidence and a sense of pride.

說實話，考試成績好讓我很有自信，也很有成就感。

Although I confess I also felt I was better than everyone else, which I now realize is not true.

雖然我承認我也覺得自己比別人優秀，但現在我明白這是不對的。

I simply have a better aptitude for that way of learning, I suppose.

我大概只是比較適合那種學習方式吧。

Now I work with people whose grades aren't even close to mine and they do better than me in the office.

現在我跟一些成績遠不如我的人一起工作，他們在辦公室的表現卻比我好。

You would think that would make me upset, but that's not true.

你可能會覺得這讓我生氣，但其實不是。

Although I haven't seen any real financial benefit from taking exams, they have made me a disciplined person who values knowledge and I still take them now for the hobbies I do in my spare time.

雖然我沒從考試中看到實際的經濟效益，但考試讓我變得有紀律，重視知識，而且我現在還是會為了我業餘時間的興趣而考試。

I think they are a valuable way to reflect on my progress and how well I'm doing.

我覺得考試是反思我進步和表現的好方法。

Many people think that exams don't test anything except your ability to take exams.

很多人認為考試只考驗考試能力。

You know how well you can memorize and recall information.

你知道自己記住和回憶資訊的能力有多強。

They think that students would learn better by doing projects based on their own interests, where what they learn isn't limited by an exam syllabus.

他們認為學生透過做自己感興趣的專案會學得更好，所學內容也不會受限於考試的課程大綱。

Well, that method might work for a few people, but

嗯，那種方法或許對少數人有效，但

in my view, most people don't have enough motivation, whereas an exam serves as a clear objective for students.

在我看來，大多數人沒有足夠的動力，而考試能為學生提供一個明確的目標。

Plus, I personally think exams test all sorts of skills besides just your ability to remember stuff like your thought processes, analytical ability, logic, intelligence, and

而且，我個人認為考試除了記住東西的能力，還能考驗各種技能，像是你的思考過程、分析能力、邏輯、智力，還有

Honestly, I wouldn't want anyone in a powerful position of responsibility who hadn't proved they had those skills.

說真的，我不希望任何處於重要責任職位的人，沒有證明自己具備這些技能。

所以從這個角度來看，考試是不可或缺的。

Of course, the design of the paper is critical.

A multiple choice paper isn't going to test those sorts of things.

選擇題試卷無法測驗這些能力。
