※ 引述《edonis0724 (難道你不期待彩虹嗎)》之銘言:
: 原段落:
: The prevelence of the eucalyptus tree can best be described as an opportunist
: that was adapted to the environment that was available due to the poor condition
: of the soil and the climate.

對eucalyptus tree的最佳形容大概就是機會主義者吧,即便是很糟的土壤、氣候環境
他們也能找到方式來適應。

: The word opportunist refers to an organiam that is:
: (A) self-seeking
: (B) resilient
: (C) dormant
: (D) tough
: 答案給(B),書後的解答是用下文推出來的
: 但我選(A)
: 我查M-W 的thesaurus,opportunist的relate word是self-seeker
: 而且opportunist的解釋跟resilient 也沒什麼相關性...
: 還是說我只需要單純的從上下文推敲意思就好

從這樣的角度來看,這邊的opportunitist是在談eucalyptus tree很能在夾縫中求生存

因而在resilient的a、b解釋說得通,可以解釋的

a : capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or rupture
b : tending to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change

這邊的問題有點像是:你這傢伙怎麼能紅杏出牆!
紅杏是Prunus armenica

但是在這句你可以說你怎麼可以移情別戀而不能說
你這傢伙怎能Prunus armenica出牆

托福的代換應該要由上下文通順來看,而不是字典解釋


這是我的一點看法:)
