※ 引述《Elehayym (艾莉海姆)》之铭言:
: Q1 The ---- nature of classical tragedy in Athens belies the modern image of
: tragedy: in the modern view tragedy is austere and stripped down its
: representations of ideological and emotional conflicts so superbly compressed
: that there's nothing ---- for time to erode.
: A: multifacedted (unadorned, harmonious, multifaceted)
: extraneous (inalienable, exigent, extraneous)
...in the modern view tragedy is austere and stripped down [ its
representations of ideological and emotional conflicts so superbly
compressed (that there's nothing ___ for time to erode)].
中括号是补充说明 the modern view of tragedy
小括号是进一步形容 compressed,为同义表达
但原文用了 nothing ,故选 extraneous
: Q2
: Stories are a haunted genre; hardly ---- kind of story, the ghost story is
: almostthe paradigm of the form, and ---- was undoubtedly one effect that Poe
: in mind when he wrote about how stories work.
: A: a debased (a debased, a normative, a mericulous)
: goosebumps (pessimism, goosebumps, curiosity)
hardly ___ kind of story, the ghost story is almost the paradigm
of the form ...
原文的 hardly 暗示逗点前後句义相对,後面用 paradigm 则前面
可与之对照的为 debased , normative 较无对比性, mericulous 句义相同
... , and ___ was undoubtedly one effect that Poe in mind
when he wrote about how stories work.
分号前摘要说 stories 的类型为 haunted ,而这句说 Poe 在谈写作时心中所想,
只有 goose bumps 符合 haunted 的感觉
: Q3
: To the untutored eye the tightly forested Ardennes hills around Sedan look
: quite----, ---- place through which to advance a modern army; even with
: today's more numerous and better roads and bridges, the woods and the river
: Meuse form a significant ----.
: A: impenetrable (impenetrable, inconsiderable, uncultivated)
: an unpropitious (a makeshift, an unpropitious, an unremarkable)
: impediment (resource, impediment, passage)
: 在初心者眼中Ardennes hills看起来非常难以通过, 是一个不合适发展现代军队的地方
: ; 尽管有很多较好的道路和桥梁, river Meuse和树木形成一种障碍
: 这题我以为险峻的地方更好发展军队
这题的 advance 指推进部队、让步队前进
虽说 GRE 出题应该不能要求考生有题目本身以外的知识,
但这题若对 "曼斯坦计划" 有印象或许会较容易答题 XD
二战前法国就是因为觉得德军装甲部队不太可能轻易翻越阿登山区,
所以这个方向的工事相对薄弱,没想到德军便从此处发动闪电战
Ardennes hills, Sedan, river Meuse 都是这段历史的地理名词关键字 XD
可参考曼斯坦元帅的回忆录 "失去的胜利" ...
有误处烦请大家补充指正
谢谢~
