新制學測今年邁入第三年。若可選擇的話，很好奇大家會支持現行一試定英文生死的新制學測，還是投舊制學測/指考英文一票呢？說到「投票」，是 cast a ballot？還是 cast a ballet？還是cast a bullet？讓我們看下去吧。
▍ballet (n) 芭雷
▶ 例 1：她跳芭雷舞跳了一輩子。當她走路時，動作優雅且流暢，彷彿跳舞般。
She has practiced ballet for most of her life. When she walks, she moves gracefully and fluidly as if dancing.
▍ballot (n) 票
▶ 例 1：沒投票給任何候選人的最常見理由就是對政治不感興趣。
The most common reason for not casting a ballot for any individual candidate is not being interested in politics.
註｜投票：vote for N = cast a ballot for N = cast a vote for N
▍bullet (n) 子彈
▶ 例 1：我的牙齒劇烈抽痛。雖然我討厭看牙醫，但也只能咬緊牙關去看診。
I am experiencing severe, throbbing tooth pain. Although I hate going to the dentist, I'll just have to bite the bullet.
註｜硬著頭皮應對/ 咬緊牙關面對：bite the bullet
