TPO4 L2
So Emerson is really into each individual believing in and trusting him or
herself. You'll see that he writes about, well, first, conformity. He
criticizes that people of his time for abandoning their own minds and their
own wills for the sake of conformity and consistency.
是在說Emerson批評這些人的conformity 和consistency嗎?
不曉得sake of在句中是甚麼意思?
另外
第三題
What does Emerson say about the past?
A. It should guide a person’s present actions.
B. It must be examined closely.
C. It is less important than the future.
D. It lacks both clarity and universal truth.
答案是C
詳解說是因為這句話:
Not conforming also means, uh, not conforming with yourself or your past.
Focus on the future,he says,"That's what matters more. Inconsistency is good."
還是有些不懂...
