## 第1題

### permit {pɚˈmɪt}  
名詞 許可證；許可  
<details> 
<summary>Permit vs. Permission 的差異</summary>

"Permit" 和 "Permission" 雖然在中文中都可以翻譯為「許可」或「允許」，但在英文中它們的用法和意思有些不同。

1. **Permit**  
   - **詞性**: 名詞、動詞  
   - **名詞解釋**: 通常指的是一個**具體的文件或憑證**，表示某人被正式授權可以做某事，像是許可證或執照。  
   - **動詞解釋**: 表示「允許」或「容許」，指的是給予某人做某事的許可。

2. **Permission**  
   - **詞性**: 名詞  
   - **解釋**: 表示「允許」的**狀態或行為**，通常指的是口頭或書面的允許，沒有具體的文件形式。

### 範例解釋
- **Permit (名詞)**: 
  A building permit is required before starting construction.  
  (建造之前需要取得建築許可證。)

- **Permit (動詞)**: 
  They permitted me to leave early.  
  (他們允許我早退。)

- **Permission (名詞)**:

  (你需要校長的許可才能早退。)

總結：  
- **Permit** 以名詞形式時，通常是指具體的許可證或文件；  
- **Permission** 是一般性的允許，更多時候不具體指代某一種文件。

### mediation {ˌmidiˈeɪʃən}  
名詞 調解；仲裁 
<details> 
<summary>The dispute was resolved through mediation.</summary>

這個爭端通過調解解決了。

在這句話中，「through」和「by」都有「透過」或「藉由」的意思，但它們的使用語境略有不同。

- **through** 表示「藉由某種過程或手段」，強調的是這個過程或方法在解決問題中的作用。
- **by** 更常用於強調「誰」或「什麼東西」作為原因、行為者或工具，尤其是當動作的執行者是明確的個體或物時。

因此，**「through mediation」** 強調的是 **「調解」作為一個過程或手段**，而如果改為 **「by mediation」**，意思會稍微改變，讓人覺得調解是一個具體的工具或方法，而不是一個過程。

因此：

- **The dispute was resolved through mediation.**  
  翻譯：「這場爭端是透過調解解決的。」（強調調解過程）
  
- **The dispute was resolved by mediation.**  
  翻譯：「這場爭端是由調解解決的。」（強調調解作為工具或手段）

「through」通常是更自然的選擇，尤其當你想強調解決爭端的**過程**而不是結果。

<details> <summary>題目解釋</summary>

**Marquis Theatre announced that members can purchase ______ tickets for all Broadway shows at a discounted rate.**

(A) situated  
(B) priority  
(C) expired  
(D) cheerful  

中文翻譯：  
Marquis 劇院宣布，會員可以以折扣價購買所有百老匯演出的 ______ 票。

答案「B」是正確的，而不是「D」。這是因為「priority tickets」指的是「優先票」，這種票通常讓持有者能夠享有一些優先權，例如提前購票或選擇座位，這符合題目的語境和劇院可能提供的優惠。

選項「D」的「cheerful」則是形容詞，意指「愉快的、開心的」，不適合用來形容票的性質。因此，「priority」是正確答案。

## 第13題

<details> <summary>題目解釋</summary>

The finance _______ is reviewing the annual budget to identify potential cost savings for the next fiscal year.  
(A) distinction  
(B) introduction  
(C) department  
(D) illustration  

正確答案是 (C) department。

原因是因為「財務部」(Finance department) 是一個具體的機構或部門，負責審查年度預算並找出可能的節約成本措施。這個句子的意思是在說某個部門（這裡是財務部）正在進行特定的工作（審查預算）。其餘選項都不符合邏輯或語境：

- **Distinction**（區別）：通常指不同點或差異，無法用來描述進行審查預算的實體。
- **Introduction**（介紹）：通常指的是開始某個主題或簡介，也不適合用來描述一個機構。
- **Illustration**（插圖或說明）：指的是圖示或解釋，這裡也不符合機構的意思。

因此，最適當的答案是「department」（部門），這裡專指財務部門。

<details> <summary>題目解釋</summary>

**During the conference, each speaker's presentation will be ______ to three minutes to allow time for questions and discussions.**

(A) restricted  
(B) permitted  
(C) eliminated  
(D) commenced  

翻譯：  
「會議期間，每位講者的發表將________在三分鐘，以便留出時間可以進行提問和討論。」

答案是「A」restricted，原因是「restricted」表示「限制」，意思是每位講者的發言時間會被限制在三分鐘內，以便留出時間進行問題和討論。其他選項的意思如下：

- **permitted**：允許，但問題是這並不強調「限制」的概念。
- **eliminated**：消除，不符合句子的上下文，因為演講時間沒有被完全取消。
- **commenced**：開始，與句子的時間限制不相關。

所以，最適合的答案是「restricted」，因為它符合「限制發表時間在三分鐘內」的意思。
