1. 1n/ˌsiː biː ˈtiː/computer-based test電腦化測驗

    CBT is short for computer-based test or computer-based testing: taking a standard exam, such as the GRE, on a computer instead of on paper.

    這個意思同時涵蓋兩件事。一是「在電腦上考」這種方式。二是這樣的一場考試本身。所以可以說 the exam is now a CBT,也可以說 the school has moved to CBT。通常做法是到考場、坐在螢幕前作答。因此它常出現在報名說明和考場規則裡。它跟另一個電腦相關的意思很近。差別只在電腦拿來做什麼。這個是測你已經會的。另一個是教你還不會的。

    示範例句 · Example

    The GRE is now a CBT, so you answer every question on screen.

    中文翻譯GRE 現在是一個電腦化測驗,所以你在螢幕上回答每一個題目。

    This use covers both the way of testing and the test itself, so you can say the exam is now a CBT and also that the school has moved to CBT. It usually means you go to a test centre, sit at a screen, and answer there, which is why it comes up in booking instructions and exam rules. It sits very close to the training sense, and the difference is simply what the computer is for: a CBT measures what you already know, while computer-based training teaches you something new.

  2. 2n/ˌsiː biː ˈtiː/computer-based training電腦化教學訓練

    CBT is short for computer-based training: teaching people how to do something by having them work through lessons on a computer instead of with a teacher in a room.

    這個意思最常出現在職場。公司把課程做成電腦上的單元。員工自己一頁一頁看完、答完題目。有些工作要先完成才能上線。它在這個用法裡不可數。常見說法是 do CBT、complete your CBT、CBT software。它也常放在名詞前面,像 CBT module、CBT package。因為同樣三個字母有好幾種意思,靠場合判斷就好。在辦公室通常是訓練,在診所通常是心理治療。

    You meet this mostly at work, where staff finish a set of screens and questions before they are allowed to start a job or use a machine. It is uncountable in this use — you do CBT, complete your CBT, buy CBT software — and it often appears in front of another noun, as in CBT module or CBT package. Because the letters stand for several different phrases, the room you are in is what tells you which one is meant: in an office it is usually training, in a clinic it is therapy.
