第二題, 要搞定perfer的意思, perfer A to B
07/06 22:23, 1F

07/06 22:24, , 2F
是不喜歡B, 所以不會是D, 然後 tried-and-true
07/06 22:24, 2F

07/06 22:24, , 3F
所以是 experimental
07/06 22:24, 3F

07/06 22:26, , 4F
第三題 "scientifically demonstrated" 因為引號
07/06 22:26, 4F

07/06 22:26, , 5F
所以八成有反向之意, 再從investigator描述先確定
07/06 22:26, 5F

07/06 22:27, , 6F
skepticism, 那一空就是bias, 三空involved
07/06 22:27, 6F

第一題: an emblem of nationalist subversion 我
07/07 00:08, 7F

07/07 00:08, , 8F
以為是「顛覆民族主義的象徵」
07/07 00:08, 8F

07/07 00:10, , 9F
所以最早是象徵,結果被禁止然後變成女裝(?)
07/07 00:10, 9F

07/07 00:16, , 10F
但我也不太懂這題(擦汗) 還請高手解釋!

第一題obscure請不要從中文的"黑暗"去理解,回到它
07/08 14:30, 11F

07/08 14:31, , 12F
的英文解釋,obscure比較是被遮住而造成晦澀不明的
07/08 14:31, 12F

07/08 14:33, , 13F
樣態。而且,下一句的outlaw也點出他們的爭議性
