※ 引述《maplewish (魔女見習生)》之銘言: : 我兩題都和原PO一樣,寫A和C,我打算今天寄出去, : 想說多點人提出疑問,看看會不會比較有希望^^" : 我還有一題有疑問,第17題,我寫A, : The billionaire is fameed for his ________________ to find gold and : become rich overnight. : (A)settlement (C)serendipity : 那個億萬富翁在他的殖民地發現金礦 : 正確答案是C意外,但我覺得A應該也可以吧, : 不知道大家覺得如何呢?? settlement應該不行吧。settlement的哪個意義適合放在這裡呢? 我猜或許你是認為可以把settlement當作「住處」,的確settlement有這個意思, 但放在這個地方受限於句子結構的問題,應該不行。 如果要把settlement當住處,而句子要有意義,同時文法正確,我想本句應該是: The billionaire is famed for finding gold in his settlement and becomes rich overnight. serendipity不是「意外」,是「意外發現某種有價值的東西的本領(能力)」。 要查字義看英英字典最準。 Merriam-Webster online dictionary的解釋。 serendipity: the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/serendipity -- Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.155.118 ※ 編輯: Freiheit 來自: 140.112.155.118 (06/20 12:16)
