Some of the most interesting words in English are the actual names of the people first involved in the activities suggested by the meanings of the words. The word boycott, for instance, __(3)__ the case of Sir Charles Boycott (1832-97), a land agent in Ireland whose tenants ostracized him because he refused to lower their rents. Vidkun Quisling's name quickly became an infamous addition to the English language during World War II. He was a Norwegian politician who __(4)__ his country to the Nazis, and his name, quisling, is now synonymous with traitor. A more common example is Levis. These popular blue jeans __(5)__ Levi Strauss, the man who first manufactured them in San Francisco in 1850. Perhaps the most omnipresent of all is the sandwich, named for the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-92), who created this quick portable meal so that he __(6)__ leave the gambling table to eat. Other words in this unique category include lynch, watt, davenport, and zeppelin.

A more common example is Levis. These popular blue jeans ____ Levi Strauss, the man who first manufactured them in San Francisco in 1850.

答案與詳解
B
正確答案
空格考「以某人命名」的慣用片語,短文說明Levis牛仔褲來自Levi Strauss之名,答案為 be named after(以…命名)。

為什麼答案是 B

be named after = 以某人/某事命名。短文明確說 These popular blue jeans ____ Levi Strauss,與全文其他例子(boycott←Boycott、quisling←Quisling、sandwich←Earl of Sandwich)的命名邏輯完全一致,皆為「詞彙得名於某人」,固定搭配為 be named after。

考點:片語辨析考點:固定片語 be named after
