摘要

大學入學考試創辦至今已超過50年歷史，歷年試題皆受到高中教師及學生的關注。以英文科試題來說，其試題可分為兩大部分：選擇題部份以及非選擇題部分。非選擇題又可分為翻譯試題與英文作文。翻譯試題在歷屆英文科試題中扮演非常重要的角色，雖然題數從民國90年以前的五句減為兩句，配分也從20分降為8分，不過仍能測驗出學生真正運用英文的能力。因此，探討歷屆英文科翻譯試題可以協助高中生注意常考的句子結構、時態、語態、句型和翻譯技巧，以便高中生瞭解試題命題走向。
本論文旨在探討大學入學考試英文科翻譯試題的命題內容，在108句歷屆翻譯試題中，分析試題配分、句數、句子結構、時態、語態等。並加以說明如何運用翻譯技巧於歷屆試題上，以協助高中生學習英語。
研究結果發現，最常考的時態為現在式以及過去式兩種。語態方面，以主動語態最多。句子結構以簡單句與複合句最多。此外，本文建議高中生應特別加強翻譯技巧中的順譯法、逆譯法和加譯法，以面對英文考科中的翻譯試題。
