汉语中的“笔试”说成英语是written test, written exam;而“口试”说成英语却是oral test, oral exam。想知道,汉语中的“口试”也可以像“笔试”那样说成 spoken test和spoken exam吗?谢谢
说 spoken test 和 spoken exam 完全可以的。我们在教学中也经常这样用,同时词典上也有类似用法。如:
P.H. Collin在EASIER ENGLISH STUDENT DICTIONARY中的examination词条就有a written or spoken test 一说。
又如 Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English在解释oral时是这样说的:especially British English, a spoken test, especially in a foreign language.
再如 Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English在解释oral时是这样说的:a spoken exam, especially in a foreign language.
