  1. 1nB1/ɪɡˈzæmɪnər/ · /ɪɡˈzæmɪnə/主考官／考官

    Someone from a university, college, or professional group whose job is to test what students know or what they can do, for example by writing an exam, marking it, or watching them do a task.

    示範例句 · Example

    The examiner asked Mei to read the passage aloud, and then to explain it in her own words.

    逐字主考官要求美大聲朗讀那段文章，然後用她自己的話解釋它。

    examiner 指的是「來測驗你的那個人」——通常來自學校、大學或某個專業機構，負責出題、監考、閱卷，或在路考、術科考試時坐在旁邊看你實際做一次。可以想成 examine（仔細看、檢查）加上 -er（做這個動作的人），所以 examiner 的工作是「看你會不會」，跟 teacher「教你」的角色分開。examiner 常常是你不認識的人；英國學校的 external examiner（校外委員）就是特地請校外的人來評分，讓分數更公正。

core核心畫面

Picture the person on the other side of the test from you: they set the questions, or they mark your paper, or they sit in the car while you drive and decide whether you pass. They are not your teacher — their job at that moment is only to find out what you actually know or can do, and to say so.

可以想成考試那一頭的人:題目是他出的,考卷是他改的,或者路考時坐在你旁邊、決定你過不過的就是他。跟老師不一樣的地方在於,他此刻的工作不是教你,而是把你會什麼、能做到什麼查清楚,然後給出判斷。
