Table of Contents



大家好~請教summary題的2個選項, 我選第2個 但第1個才對。想問第2個choice不是能對應到
paragraph 5 的第2句嗎?

但下面這句

"In speculative philosophy and the
sciences, the Romans made virtually no advance on early achievements"

又否定了什麼嗎? 跟model literature on greeks 有何關係? just not sure
.

○Rome combined aspects of ancient Greek civilization with its own
contributions in new areas.

○Educated Romans modeled their own literature and philosophy on the ancient
Greeks.

TPO7


Paragraph 5: Rome’s debt to Greece was enormous. The Romans adopted Greek
religion and moral philosophy. In literature, Greek writers were consciously
used as models by their Latin successors. It was absolutely accepted that an
educated Roman should be fluent in Greek. In speculative philosophy and the
sciences, the Romans made virtually no advance on early achievements.

Paragraph 6: Yet it would be wrong to suggest that Rome was somehow a junior
partner in Greco-Roman civilization. The Roman genius was projected into new
spheres—especially into those of law, military organization, administration,
and engineering. Moreover, the tensions that arose within the Roman state
produced literary and artistic sensibilities of the highest order. It was no
accident that many leading Roman soldiers and statesmen were writers of high
caliber.

我覺得文章是說Latin successors把Greeks writers當model

然後推論到educated Roman會講流利的希臘文。而不是像選項
