※ 引述《betago (beta)》之銘言： : 書名：complete guide to the toeic test : 版本：3/e : 頁數：p.123 第15題 : 題目： : The president of NFX Media Corporation is a ____ professional soccer : player. : (A) once : (B) previous : (C) former : (D) past 本來也不知道怎麼解釋這一題，不過其實google一下大約可以推測出一些東西 http://ppt.cc/XJpV The word former refers to state. It means that the person or object was something, but no longer is. The word "former" only refers to sequence in special cases where it is contrasted with the word "latter" (in which it means the first of two given items). Former這個字是在講狀態。代表說某個人或者是某樣東西曾經是怎麼樣，但是現在不是了。這個字只有在跟latter對比連用的時候才會有「順序前後」的意味，代表前者。 The word previous refers to sequence. It means that the person or object was/did something before something else took over or replaced it. As StoneyB rightly clarifies in his comment, "the previous" means the preceding member in a series, however "a previous" can refer to any earlier member in the series. Previous這個字則是跟順序有關。代表說某個人或者是東西在另外個人或者是東西替代之前做了某件事情，StoneyB這個人在留言提到the previous代表是這樣東西之前的那個東西(比如說5的the previous number就是4，a previous就是4321到無限都有可能） President Ma critized on the previous president, Chen Shui-Bian. 馬英九總統批判前總統陳水扁（強調陳水扁在他之前） President Ma criticized on the former preident, Chen Shui-Bian. （強調陳水扁以前是總統，而不跟馬英九對比）至於past我找了一下沒有找到甚麼資訊@@ 不過蠻多字典顯現出跟former或者是previous都有相似處。不過重點是我的確比較常聽到former president，past president倒是沒有印象有聽過。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.35.25.39 ※ 編輯: kryolanfans 來自: 114.35.25.39 (01/26 22:02)
