重點填空題考轉折詞:前句說「延長青春期」,後句說「仍像青少年」,屬於同義改寫,應選 In other words(換句話說)。
秒殺技巧
看到前後句是「同義重述」關係 → In other words 幾乎是唯一解。
逐選項分析
A✕ 陷阱
In contrast(相反地)用於前後對比。但「延長青春期」和「仍像青少年」是同一件事的換句話說,非對比關係,故錯。
B✓ 正確
In other words(換句話說)用於同義改寫。前句「extended adolescence」=後句「still like teenagers」,正是換句話說的典型用法。
C✕
In detail(詳細地)用於進一步詳述細節,但後句並非補充細節,而是用更淺白方式重述,故不合。
D✕
In doubt(有疑問地)語意完全不通,前後句沒有質疑語氣,可直接刪除。
陷阱提醒
填空題考轉折詞時,最關鍵是判斷前後句的邏輯關係:是「同義改寫」還是「對比轉折」。當前句提到「延長青春期」,後句接著說「仍像青少年」,兩者其實在描述同一件事,只是換個說法,所以應該選「換句話說」(In other words)。考生最容易在這裡失分,因為沒有仔細比對前後句的語意內涵,看到 extended 和 still 這類時間詞就誤以為有對比關係,選了「相反地」(In contrast)。判斷準則:若前後句在講「相同概念的不同面向」就是同義重述;若前後句立場、結果相反才是轉折。
