🎓 學習英文English version
assess 是甚麼意思?
assess sth
/əˈses/
= 評估、評核(判斷某事物的價值、程度或影響)
考試題目、評分準則和學術文章都常見。看到題目用 assess,就不能只描述,要權衡正反、作出有理據的判斷。
簡單解釋
醫生替你檢查,判斷傷勢有多嚴重,就是 assess 你的傷勢。
在學術上,assess 是「量一量」某事物:有多重要、有多大影響、做得多好,然後給出判斷。
名詞是 assessment(評估、評核)。香港的 SBA 就是 School-based Assessment(校本評核)。

常見錯誤
✗ Students can assess the library online.
✓ Students can access the library online.
access(使用、進入)和 assess(評估)讀音相近,香港學生經常混淆。
✗ This essay will assess about the effects of tourism.
✓ This essay will assess the effects of tourism.
assess 是及物動詞,後面直接加受詞,不用 about。
✗ Online learning is good because it is convenient, cheap and flexible.
✓ To a large extent, online learning benefits students, although its value is limited for those without a quiet place to study.
assess 題目要權衡和判斷程度;只列一面的論點,很難取得高分。
✗ The teacher will assessment our project.

assessment 是名詞;動詞是 assess。
改寫示範 ✨
一篇公民科 essay 的引言:用 Dictionify 的 Polish 把整段改得自然又專業,刪去的字劃走,新加的字標示出來。
In this essay, I will assess about whether the Northern Metropolis can solve housing problem. I think it can solve totally because many flat will be built.
In this essay, I will assess about whether This essay assesses the extent to which the Northern Metropolis can solve ease Hong Kong’s housing problem. I think it can solve totally because many flat While the plan will be built. add a large number of flats, its success also depends on transport links and job opportunities in the area.
- assess about whether → assesses the extent to which:assess 後面不加 about;配合題目用 the extent to which,顯示你會判斷程度。
- solve totally 太絕對;ease(紓緩)較準確,也留空間討論限制。housing problem 前要加冠詞或所有格,many flat 要用複數。
- 加入 While…, its success also depends on…,在引言已經顯示你會權衡兩面,這正是 assess 題目的要求。
近義和相反說法
| 說法 | 意思 | 分別 |
|---|---|---|
| evaluate | 評價、評鑑 | 和 assess 很接近;evaluate 較著重判斷「好不好、值不值得」,assess 較著重量度「有多大、有多重要」。 |
| judge | 判斷 | 較一般,可以很主觀;assess 意味有系統、有準則。 |
| examine | 審視、探究 | 仔細研究某事物,不一定要作出判斷;assess 必須有結論。 |
| measure | 量度 | 多指具體數字;assess 可以包括非數字的判斷。 |
相反:overlook / ignore (忽略、不加考慮)、take sth for granted (視為理所當然、不加審視)

常見問題
assess 和 evaluate 有甚麼分別?
兩者經常可以互換。細微分別是:assess 偏向量度程度或影響(assess the impact, assess the risk);evaluate 偏向判斷價值或成效(evaluate a policy, evaluate your own work)。在題目裡,兩者都要求你作出有理據的判斷。
assess 和 access 怎樣分辨?
assess /əˈses/ 是評估;access /ˈækses/ 是使用、進入,例如 access the internet、have access to resources。記法:access 有 cc,像 "come in"(進入)。
寫 "Assess the extent to which…" 的 essay 有甚麼結構?
常見做法:引言清楚表明立場(例如 "to a large extent");正文分段討論支持和反對的論據,每段都回到「程度」;結論總結判斷和理由。重點是全文都有判斷,不是到結論才突然表態。
assessment 可以數嗎?
可以。指一次考核或一份評估時是可數的:two assessments this term、a risk assessment。指一般的評核制度時則常當不可數用:continuous assessment、school-based assessment。
