[分享]讓人誤解的閱讀的反駁觀念
讓人誤解的閱讀的反駁觀念
大家好,我是字神帝國的康老師~
昨晚閱讀課中,問了同學們:John counters that…
這句子,John是支持還是反對that名詞子句的內容。
幾乎所有同學一致回答:反對。
不過,
真正的答案是:支持。
這的確是很重要的觀念,因為閱讀邏輯複雜,
不論是原文或選項的支持或反駁觀點,
常常是考點,我們是絕對要弄清楚的。
我們來好好研究並學會這個點吧。
以牛津字典的解釋與例子來說明
counter 反對, 反擊(某人[某事物])
respond to (sb/sth) with an opposing view, a return attack, etc
例句1:
They countered our proposal with one of their own.
他們針對我們的建議提出了一項相反的建議.
→ counter + 一般名詞(物) 是直接反對
例句2:
The minister countered his critics with a strong speech defending his
policies.
這位部長慷慨陳詞為其政策辯護, 反駁批評他的人.
→ counter + 一般名詞(人) 還是直接反對
例句3:
I pointed out the shortcomings of the scheme, but he countered that the plans
were not yet finished. 我指出那方案的缺點, 但他申辯說各項計劃尚未完成.
→ counter + that子句 是用that子句內容,來反駁上文
→ 所以John counters that… 。that子句內容是John想說的內容,所以可以說是就是
支持。
再來舉個閱讀真題例子:
Since the 1980s, experts have been claiming that the skill demands of today’
s jobs have outstripped the skills workers possess. Moss and Tilly counter
that worker deficiencies lie less in job-specific skills than in such
attributes as motivation, interpersonal skills, and appropriate work
demeanor.
所以這句中:Moss and Tilly 內心要說的是that的句子內容:(小心不是反對that子句內
容)
勞工缺的是一些attributes特質,而非像上句experts 所宣稱的是缺乏skills。
再來作一道題:
1. The passage suggests that Moss and Tilly are most likely to disagree with
the “experts” (line 1) about which of the following?
A Whether the skills demanded by jobs in the labor market have changed since
the 1980s
B Whether employers think that job-specific skills are as important as such
attributes as motivation and appropriate work demeanor
C Whether workers in today’s labor market generally live up to (達到) the
standards and expectations of employers
D Whether adequate numbers of workers in the labor market possess the
particular skills demanded by various different jobs
E Whether most workers are motivated to acquire new skills that are demanded
by the labor market
解答:照剛剛原文所說的Moss and Tilly覺得勞工缺的是一些attributes特質,而非像上
句experts 所宣稱的是缺乏skills。所以就是往skills 點去找答案。
A 不對:不是所需的技巧改變了。
B 不對:experts 跟本沒提到attributes。所以不會被人反對這個點。
C 不對:跟本沒說到skills。
D 正解:就是experts所說的:是否有夠多的勞工擁有所需的技術。
E 不對:experts 跟本沒提到motivated to。所以不會被人反對這個點。
