《中英對照讀新聞》Every pupil’s dream : the exam with answers on back 每個學生的夢想：考卷背面印答案

◎胡立宗

It sounds like every student’s dream -- turning over an exam paper and finding the answers on the back.

這聽起來就像每個學生的夢想─翻過試卷紙，發現背面就印了答案。

But that was what happened to 12,000 lucky British teenagers when they sat their GCSE music exam last week.

但這卻真的發生在12,000名幸運的英國青少年身上，他們上週參加GCSE音樂檢定。

The OCR(Oxford, Cambridge and RSA) examination board admitted on Thursday that, because of a "printing error," papers sent to schools had answers to questions on the back page.

由牛津、劍橋及英國皇家藝術協會所組成的OCR試務委員會週四坦承，由於「印刷錯誤」，所以送到學校的考卷背面印有試題解答。

All exam papers have a copyright statement dealing with source material on the back page," an OCR spokeswoman said. "This one in particular had more detail than is usual in a music paper."

「所有考卷背面都有刊載出處的版權聲明」，OCR女發言人表示。「但這一份卻比一般的音樂考題還有更多『細節』。」

The exam board said only 5 percent of the overall marks on the paper were possibly affected and students would not have to do a re-sit as most pupils seemed to have been unaware of their good fortune.

試務委員會說，考卷只有5%的總分可能受到影響，學生可能也不必再考一次，因為多數學生似乎並未發現他們的意外之喜。

"It is unlikely that any of the 12,000 students sitting the examination would have recognized the value of the information... and subsequently used it," said the spokeswoman, adding there had been just 20 queries from teachers.

「12,000名應試的學生中，不太可能有任何人真的瞭解訊息（解答）的價值…然後真的用來答題」，女發言人說。她並表示，連老師都只有20人提出詢問。

"OCR is confident that the procedures put in place will ensure that all candidates get the grades that their hard work deserves."

「OCR很有信心，實際措施將確保所有應試者都能拿到與努力相符的分數。」

新聞辭典

copyright：名詞，版權、著作權。亦可當形容詞及動詞使用，指有版權的，及為…取得版權。例句：The film is copyrighted to the producer.（電影版權歸製作人所有。）

re-sit：也做resit，動詞，重考、補考。sit當及物動詞時可指參加考試，因此re（再一次）+sit，就是再考一次的意思。

query：名詞，質問、詢問；動詞，（正式）詢問，例句：The judge queried the victim in the court.（法官在庭訊時訊問受害者。）
