[转载]BBC英语短语 - Ace a test

Ace a test:

To do exceptionally well on a test or exam.

“Ace a test” 用来表示 “某人在一次测验或考试中取得了很高的分数”。动词 “ace” 源自扑克牌中的 “A 纸牌（the ace card）”。通常情况下，“A 纸牌” 是扑克牌中最大的一张，所以在谈论与考试有关的语境中，动词 “ace” 就用来表示 “考得非常好”。短语 “ace a test” 中的名词 “test（测验）” 可以用考试的具体科目名称替换。比如：to ace an English exam；to ace my Chinese final。
