<方有毅>老师讲解GRE OG 难题解题 (p.314 q. 16)
(此题空有panache, gawkiness等难字)
Belanger dances with an (i) ______ that draws one’s attention as if by
seeking to (ii) ______ it; through finesse and understatement, he manages to
seem at once intensely present and curiously detached.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
(A) undemonstrative panache (D) focus
(B) unrestrained enthusiasm (E) overwhelm
(C) unattractive gawkiness (F) deflect
方老师讲解:解题线索字(一)understatement 以及(二)as if, 两个简单字眼。
(一)understatement
如果同学知道1.panache = dash or “flamboyance” in style and action 2. “
flamboyance” = the quality or state of being “flamboyant” = marked by or
given to “strikingly” elaborate or colorful display or behavior = “
attracting attention” or notice through unusual or conspicuous qualities
第一空可立即选A. Belanger dances with an (i) something “attracting attention
” that draws one’s attention。
但是,若不懂panache,此题还提供其他线索让同学去挖掘:
第一空 (i)_______ that draws one’s attention
1. 分号前说:Belanger 跳舞*with an (i) _______
2. 分号後说:*through finesses and understatement, he (= Belanger) manages ….
两句都是用*介系词片语描述Belanger 表演(跳舞)的风格
分号是用来连接两个语意关系密切 (closely related) 的句子。本题分号前後两句之间
并无however之类的转向字,因此,分号前後两句语意逻辑必然是同向的。
也就是说:*with an (i) _______ 与 *through finesses and understatement
两个介系词片语的”语意逻辑必然是同向” 。
从没有空格的平行结构finesses and understatement 两个单字里,作者强调的第二字,
挑选大部分同学看懂得的understatement当作解题线索--*understatement (M-W) :to
state or present with “restraint” 节制 especially for effect *-- 使之与第一
空(i)_______ 的语意逻辑同向。反之,描述Belanger跳舞风格第一空的 (i)_______必须
选语意逻辑与*understatement ( “restraint” 节制)同向的单字
(A) undemonstrative panache
(B) unrestrained enthusiasm
(C) unattractive gawkiness
其中
(B) unrestrained 与条件 *understatement (“restraint”) 矛盾(错)
(C) unattractive *不引人注意的,不是 *understatement (“restraint” 克制的) 的
语意相关字。(错)
故,答案只剩 (A)*undemonstrative panache
查M-W
*undemonstrative: “restrained” 节制in expression of feeling : RESERVED
果然,与 *understatement ( “restraint” 节制) 吻合语意逻辑同向。
(二)as if
第二空as if by seeking to (ii) ______ it,这里it = attention,可是因为前面说
as if by好像藉着_______,as if = as though用於“与事实相反的假设法”He walks
as if he were drunk. 事实上他没醉。
因此,搭配that draws one’s attention而造成的叙述as if by seeking to (ii)
______ it,必须第二空(ii) _________ it要填入 draws one’s attention “引人”注
意 的相反,即挑一个”转移”注意的动词即可。
其中
(D) focus 使聚焦,对焦。(与”引人”注意近似,错)
(E) overwhelm 压倒,用感情等制服。(不是我们要的”转移”注意,错)
(F) deflect
故第二空只剩(F)
查Collins Cobuild 字典

转移,引开(批评、注意力等
*例句:It's a maneuver to “deflect the attention” of the people from what
is really happening.
*这是为将公众的注意力从真正发生的事情上转移开而耍的花招。
正是与原题给的 “draw one’s attention” 相反的选项。
附注:此题可以避开panache, gawkiness (gawky : AWKWARD, CLUMSY *a gawky
adolescent*) 等艰深的单字,只需understatement 及 as if 简单字眼即可解出正确答
案。
