黃金閱讀5.3 第31篇 Ancient Rome and … - 英檢

※ 引述《onznka (任性˙小鬼頭)》之銘言：
: Paragraph 4
: Modern attitudes to Roman civilization range from the infinitely
: impressed to the thorough disgusted. As always, there are the power
: worshippers, especially among historians, who are predisposed to admire
: whatever is strong, who feel more attracted to the might of Rome than to the
: subtlety of Greece. At the same time, there is a solid body of opinion that
: dislikes Rome. For many, Rome is at best the imitator and the continuator of
: Greece on a larger scale. Greek civilization had quality; Rome, mere
: quantity. Greece was the inventor; Rome, the research and development
: division. Such indeed was the opinion of some of the more intellectual Romans.
: ” had the Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we,” asked Horace in his
: Epistle, “what work of ancient date would now exist?”
: 9. In paragraph 4, the author develops a description of Roman civilization by
: ○comparing the opinions of Roman intellectuals to Greek intellectuals
: ○identifying which characteristics of roman civilization were copied from
: Greece
: ○explaining how the differences between Roman and Greece developed as time
: passed
: ○contrasting characteristics of Roman civilization with characteristics of
: Greek civilization
: 這題當初在第一跟第四個選項掙扎
: 想請問第一個選項錯的地方是?

作者在這段沒有提到"Greek intellectuals"
他只有說某些意見是"Roman intellectuals"的觀點
所以小心作答！


: 10. According to paragraph 4, intellectual Romans such as Horace held which
: of the following opinions about their civilization?
: ○Ancient works of Greece held little value in the Roman world.
: ○The Greek civilization had been surpassed by the Romans.
: ○Roman civilization produced little that was original or memorable.
: ○Romans valued certain types of innovations that had been ignored by ancient
: Greeks.
: 想問第三個選項的意思是?
: 有點看不太懂他表達的
: 先在此感謝各位高手:)

第三選項意思是說
羅馬文明幾乎沒有原創性也沒有什麼顯著的特點
你可能是被little困住 這裡little當名詞 就是"少、沒有什麼"
