用法說明

quiz someone on something vs quiz someone about something
- quiz someone on something 通常用於指針對特定、具體的知識點或範圍進行測驗，例如課本中的某一章節、單字表或公式。
- quiz someone about something 則多用於指就一個較為廣泛的主題、事件或情況進行詢問或盤問，目的可能在於了解細節或測試對整體情況的掌握。
- 兩者有時可互換，但細微差別在於 on 強調「針對某個確定的學習內容」，而 about 則偏向「圍繞某個話題」。 EN: The teacher will quiz us on the vocabulary from Chapter 5 tomorrow. 翻譯: 老師明天要測驗我們第五章的單字。
EN:The reporter quizzed the politician about the new policy's details.
翻譯:記者就新政策的細節盤問了那位政治人物。
總結建議
當測驗內容是明確的學習材料（如課本章節）時，使用 quiz on；當詢問或測試的是一個較廣泛的話題或事件時，則使用 quiz about。
