<方有毅>老師講解GRE OG 難題解題 (p.314 q. 16) （此題空有panache, gawkiness等難字） Belanger dances with an (i) ______ that draws one’s attention as if by seeking to (ii) ______ it; through finesse and understatement, he manages to seem at once intensely present and curiously detached. Blank (i) Blank (ii) (A) undemonstrative panache (D) focus (B) unrestrained enthusiasm (E) overwhelm (C) unattractive gawkiness (F) deflect 方老師講解：解題線索字（一）understatement 以及（二）as if，兩個簡單字眼。（一）understatement 如果同學知道1.panache = dash or “flamboyance” in style and action 2. “ flamboyance” = the quality or state of being “flamboyant” = marked by or given to “strikingly” elaborate or colorful display or behavior = “ attracting attention” or notice through unusual or conspicuous qualities 第一空可立即選A. Belanger dances with an (i) something “attracting attention ” that draws one’s attention。但是，若不懂panache，此題還提供其他線索讓同學去挖掘：第一空 (i)_______ that draws one’s attention 1. 分號前說：Belanger 跳舞*with an (i) _______ 2. 分號後說：*through finesses and understatement, he (= Belanger) manages …. 兩句都是用*介係詞片語描述Belanger 表演（跳舞）的風格分號是用來連接兩個語意關係密切 (closely related) 的句子。本題分號前後兩句之間並無however之類的轉向字，因此，分號前後兩句語意邏輯必然是同向的。也就是說：*with an (i) _______ 與 *through finesses and understatement 兩個介係詞片語的”語意邏輯必然是同向” 。從沒有空格的平行結構finesses and understatement 兩個單字裡，作者強調的第二字，挑選大部分同學看懂得的understatement當作解題線索--*understatement (M-W) :to state or present with “restraint” 節制 especially for effect *-- 使之與第一空(i)_______ 的語意邏輯同向。反之，描述Belanger跳舞風格第一空的 (i)_______必須選語意邏輯與*understatement ( “restraint” 節制)同向的單字 (A) undemonstrative panache (B) unrestrained enthusiasm (C) unattractive gawkiness 其中 (B) unrestrained 與條件 *understatement (“restraint”) 矛盾（錯） (C) unattractive *不引人注意的，不是 *understatement (“restraint” 克制的) 的語意相關字。（錯）故，答案只剩 (A)*undemonstrative panache 查M-W *undemonstrative: “restrained” 節制in expression of feeling : RESERVED 果然，與 *understatement ( “restraint” 節制) 吻合語意邏輯同向。（二）as if 第二空as if by seeking to (ii) ______ it，這裡it = attention，可是因為前面說 as if by好像藉著_______，as if = as though用於“與事實相反的假設法”He walks as if he were drunk. 事實上他沒醉。因此，搭配that draws one’s attention而造成的敘述as if by seeking to (ii) ______ it，必須第二空(ii) _________ it要填入 draws one’s attention “引人”注意的相反，即挑一個”轉移”注意的動詞即可。其中 (D) focus 使聚焦，對焦。（與”引人”注意近似，錯） (E) overwhelm 壓倒，用感情等制服。(不是我們要的”轉移”注意，錯) (F) deflect 故第二空只剩(F) 查Collins Cobuild 字典http://www.mycobuild.com/Results.aspx 轉移，引開(批評、注意力等＊例句：It's a maneuver to “deflect the attention” of the people from what is really happening. ＊這是為將公眾的注意力從真正發生的事情上轉移開而耍的花招。正是與原題給的 “draw one’s attention” 相反的選項。附註：此題可以避開panache, gawkiness (gawky : AWKWARD, CLUMSY *a gawky adolescent*) 等艱深的單字，只需understatement 及 as if 簡單字眼即可解出正確答案。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.49.180
