    Usage Note :

    Note that to pass an exam always means to succeed in it. If you do not pass an exam, you fail it. If you simply do an exam or take part in it, you can say that you take the exam, or, in British English, that you sit the exam.

    注意,考试及格用pass an exam。考试不及格用fail。参加考试用take the exam,英国英语用sit the exam。
