這份是OG後面的紙本練習題 1. The most striking thing about the politician is how often his politics have been ---- rather than ideological, as he adapts his political positions at any particular moment to the political realities that constrain him. He does not, however, piously ---- political principles only to betray them in practice. Rather, he attempts in subtle ways to balance his political self-interst with a ----, viweing himself as an instrument of some unchanging higher purpose. strategic (quixotic, self-righteous, strategic) brandish (brandish, flout, follow) deeply felt moral code (profound cynicism, deeply felt moral code, thoroughgoing pragmatism) 第一格和第三格我都知道怎麼推出來 但是第二格是再不知道該怎麼推 OG上的解釋是說"only to betray them in practice" 是關建 但是我懂哪一個字跟brandish有關? 另外them 指的是什麼? political positions嗎? 2. The activists' energetic work in the service of both woman suffage and the temperance movement in the late nineteenth century ----the assertion that the two movements were ---- undermines (undermines, supports, underscores) inimical (diffuse, inimical, predominant) 這題則是一點線索都沒有. 我覺得其他答案也不會不行阿. 維一的線索是 energetic 那為什麼不是support or underscore呢? 3. Wills argues that certain malarial parasites are especially ----because they have more recently entered humans than other species and therefore have had ---- time to evolve toward ----. Yet there is no reliable evidence that the most harmful Plasmodium species has been in humans for a shorter time than less harmful species. malignant (populous, malignant, threatened) insufficient (ample, insufficient, adequate) benignity (virulence, benignity, variability) 這題的第一個空格為什麼不能是 threatened呢?謝謝 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 126.12.78.173

1. 推測是因為只有 in practice 時才 betray 所以

"平常不會張揚" 是最適合的選項

He does not, however, piously brandish political

[...] 指的是說，"他平常鼓吹這些政治理念並不是為了

要在行為的層面上背叛這些原則"

"only to betray them in practice"之所以會是關鍵是

10/06 22:14, , 15F
因為，如果沒有這個部份的話, flout就會變成正確答案
10/06 22:14, 15F

10/06 22:15, , 16F
可是有了only [...]這個部分，所以意思變成說: 政治

10/06 22:15, , 17F
理論指的就是後面那些更高層次的道得法則，但是他在

我想問一下第三題 為什麼會想到是不足夠時間變溫和
10/07 13:11, 21F

10/07 13:11, , 22F
而不是足夠時間去變兇惡@@?

第2句在補充修飾第1句，所以第1句句意應為

第三題要用反推的。因為沒有證據可以證明危害較大的

病毒是在人類歷史比較晚出現的病毒，所以也不能推斷
10/08 00:04, 27F
推
10/08 12:02, , 28F
哦哦 是說沒證據顯示病毒會越來越兇
10/08 12:02, 28F
→
10/08 12:02, , 29F
所以姑且推斷說病毒是往溫和面演化嗎
10/08 12:02, 29F

10/08 12:03, , 30F
那這裡的yet該怎麼翻呢?
10/08 12:03, 30F
→
10/08 12:03, , 31F
因為如果翻儘管的話就會變反義了@@

adequate的語意不夠明確, insufficient很明顯的指出
10/09 23:29, 32F
→
10/09 23:30, , 33F
所需的時間"量"; adequate可能要講出adequant amount
10/09 23:30, 33F

10/09 23:31, , 34F
of time, 可是這樣還是跟時間快慢沒有直接關係，而是
10/09 23:31, 34F

10/09 23:31, , 35F
時間剛剛好，不快不慢;
10/09 23:31, 35F

10/09 23:31, , 36F
virulence與題意相反. Yet這裡翻"但是"即可
10/09 23:31, 36F
→
10/09 23:32, , 37F
有人也會翻然而，一樣是轉折語氣

喔喔我發現是我前面沒看到recently= =

所以整個題意搞錯 感謝:)
