Corrections
Annie’s Mailbox
修正
1. hard vs. hardly hard [ h3rd ]
hardly [ `h3rdl6 ]
adv. 努力地
adv. 幾乎不；簡直不
用來修飾前面的動詞。 • Ned thought hard,
and finally made a decision. 奈德努力地想，終於做出 決定。
由於此字本身帶有否定意 味，所以不與 not 連用。 • Billy hardly looks like
his brother. 比利和他哥哥長得幾乎不 像。
句意為「父母非常『努力地』工作」，所以用 work very hard 表達才正確。
2. housework vs. homework housework [ `ha8s%w-k ]
homework [ `hom%w-k ]
n. 家事（不可數名詞）
n. 功課（不可數名詞）
「寫功課」為 do homework， 「做家事」為 do housework。 注意不可說成 write homework。 • My house is messy
• Check your homework
because I don’t have time to do housework.
before you give it to the teacher.
我的屋子一團亂，因為我 沒時間做家事。
把功課交給老師前要先檢 查。
由前後文可知，作者會做如掃地、擦桌子等「家事」，所以 用 housework 才對。
3. do the laundry 「洗衣服」英文的說法有二，分別為 do the laundry 和 wash the clothes。laundry [ `l7ndr6 ] 是不可數名詞「換 洗衣物」，需注意英文沒有 wash the laundry 的說法。 • Maria always does the laundry on Sundays. 瑪莉亞總是在星期天洗衣服。
4. . . ., but most people are too lazy to do it. 原文 most people are lazy to do it 意為「很多人懶惰地去 做」，不符合語意。推斷作者欲表達「很多人太懶惰而不做」， 英文要說 most people are too lazy to do it，「too adj. to V.」是「太……而不……」的意思。 • Melody is too angry to talk to you. 美樂蒂太生氣，不想跟你說話。 • I’m excited to meet your friends. 我很興奮要和你的朋友們見面。
5. . . . make my parents happier. 文中欲使用「形容詞比較級」，由以下規則可知，happy 的比 較級為 happier。 大多數的單音節形容詞比較級可直接在字尾 + er，如： long → longer, tall → taller, short → shorter
單 音 形容詞字尾為 e 時，比較級在字尾 + r，如：nice → nicer, wide → wider, large → larger, wise → wiser, safe → safer 節 形容詞字尾為「子音 + 短母音 + 子音」時，須重複字尾 + er， 如：fat → fatter, big → bigger, hot → hotter 大多數的多音節形容詞比較級為 more + 形容詞，如： 多 interesting → more interesting, beautiful → more
音 beautiful 節 形容詞字尾為「子音 + y」時，須去 y + ier，如：
happy → happier, busy → busier, heavy → heavier ＊ 幾個常見的不規則變化為：good → better、 bad → worse、 many/much → more 等。
• This road is safer because it’s wider. 這條路因為比較寬，所以比較安全。 • Ivan is heavier than you, but he’s not fat. 伊凡的體重比你重，不過他並不胖。 • Nothing is more beautiful than this lake. 再也沒有比這座湖更美的了。
• Stan washed his clothes and then hung them
outside. 史丹把衣服洗好，然後晾在外面。

Think About It!
1. 正確答案為：(D)
3. 正確答案為：(A)
A no wonder [ no ] [ `w9nd0 ] 難怪 Tara is from Thailand, so it’s no wonder that she likes spicy food.
後文表示相信世界末日說的人不了解馬雅歷史，且馬雅曆法 中並無記載世界末日說，可推知句意為「『沒有一個』理論是 正確的」，此句話依選項可寫成：
塔拉來自泰國，所以難怪她喜歡吃辣。
B instead of [ 6n`st5d ] [ 4v ] 而不是…… Instead of drinking Coke, you should drink more milk. 你應該多喝牛奶，而不是可樂。
C in order to [ 6n ] [ `7rd0 ] [ tu ] 為了…… In order to take care of a puppy, you need to have lots of free time. 為了要照顧小狗，你得有很多空閒時間。
D according to [ 4`k7rd6; ] [ tu ] 根據…… According to the news, there was a car accident in Kenting. 根據新聞報導，墾丁發生了一場車禍。 根據文意，答案要選 (D) 。
2. 正確答案為：(C) 時間的表達方法整理如下：
A time：用來表示幾點幾分，如 11 o’clock, 4:40 等。 A: I don’t know what time the bus will arrive. 我不知道客運幾點會來。
B: It will arrive at 3:20. 三點二十分會到。
B year：用來表示年份，如 2012。 This year, Carl is going to finish school. 卡爾今年就要畢業了。
C date [ det ]：用來表示幾月幾號， 如 July 21st, August 15th 等。 The date is December 31st. 日期是十二月三十一日。
D period [ `p6r64d ]：用來表示一段時間。 There were three typhoons in a period of six weeks. 六週內就有三個颱風。
A B C D
None of that is correct. All of that is wrong. Nothing is correct. No part of that is correct.
所以唯一能套用於原文的是 (A)。再看一個例句： • None of Yvette’s cousins live in Taipei. 伊薇特的堂兄弟姊妹沒有一人住在臺北。
4. 正確答案為：(D) A habit [ `h1b6t ] n. 習慣 Kevin has some bad habits. 凱文有些壞習慣。
B life [ la6f ] n. 生活（複數為 lives） Catherine has a good life. 凱瑟琳的生活過得很好。
C art [ 3rt ] n. 藝術 My mom is interested in art. 我媽媽對藝術很感興趣。
D history [ `h6str6 ] n. 歷史 Peter studied history in college. 彼得大學唸的是歷史。 依照文意，故答案選 (D)。
5. 正確答案為：(A) 「舉例說明」的英文常見說法有三種：介系詞 like、介系詞 片語 such as 和副詞片語 for example，用法如例句所示。 • Eric enjoys outdoor activities, like hiking and jogging. n. n. 艾瑞克喜歡戶外活動，像是健行和慢跑。 • Janice loves many desserts, such as cakes and

A backstop* is part of a baseball field. It is the wall behind the batter. Usually, a backstop is made of metal.2 The Miami Marlins are a Major League Baseball* team. Last year, they had an idea. They wanted their backstop to be a fish tank! That sounds impossible.3 After all, a backstop is hit by baseballs, bats, and people. Fish tanks are made of glass. If a fish tank is hit by a baseball, wouldn’t it break? What would happen if the fish tank broke during a baseball game? Dozens of 4 fish would fall onto the field. It would be a disaster.* 54
To make their backstop, the Marlins hired5 a company called Living Color. Living Color is famous for making huge, beautiful fish tanks. To start, Living Color made sure that their fish tank was very, very strong. They didn’t use glass. They used plastic6 that can stop bullets.* They tested the plastic many times. The Marlins have already had their fish tank backstop for about a year. So far, it hasn’t had any big problems. In fact, the fish have made their stadium* famous. Any time you watch a Marlins baseball game, you can see their special fish tank backstop.

水族箱完成後，必須經過衝擊力測試，由工作人員投幾 球，來確定聚碳酸酯護片能承受快速球的反覆衝擊。
本壘檔牆是棒球場的一部分，也就是打擊者後方的檔牆， 通常由金屬製成。 邁阿密馬林魚隊是美國職棒大聯盟的隊伍，去年他們突發 奇想，想把水族箱當成本壘檔牆！那聽起來像天方夜譚，畢竟 本壘檔牆會被棒球擊中，也會遭球員拿球棒敲打與球員撞擊， 而水族箱是玻璃做的，若被棒球砸到，難道不會破嗎？倘若在 棒球賽中水族箱破了，那會發生什麼事？許多魚會掉落在球場 上，那會是一場災難。
為了製作本壘檔牆，馬林魚隊雇用一間名為鮮活色彩團隊 的公司。鮮活色彩團隊以製作巨大而美麗的魚缸聞名。一開始， 該團隊確保他們的魚缸極為堅固，他們並非使用玻璃，而用防 彈塑膠護片，並一再測試塑膠護片。 馬林魚隊已使用水族箱檔牆一年多，到目前為止還沒出什 麼大問題。事實上，魚讓他們的球場名聞遐邇，每次觀賞邁阿 密馬林魚隊的比賽，都可以看到他們特製的水族箱檔牆。
