1) Jenny's success in her career ______ her mother very much.
1. was delighted 2. in delight 3. delights 4. delight on
純粹考delight的詞性而已
因為主詞為事物 所以可以直接主動 (使...快樂)
跟情緒動詞/形容詞功能相似 (例如amaze. interest....
人物當主詞
a) delight in N (喜歡做~ 也可以用toV)
或是take delight in
b) be delighted with (快樂)
譯 Jenny成功的這條路，讓她媽媽非常高興
(註：career指生涯 或終身工作)
2) My wife and I ______ like to visit Spain, but we don't have enough money for the trip.
1. will be 2. would be 3. should 4. are
like本身可以當動詞 表"想要/喜歡" 所以1跟4可以先砍
想選2的話 則把be砍掉即可 =>
would like to V = feel like Ving (想要做~~)
譯 我跟我老婆是有想去西班牙玩啦! 只是我們沒那種錢而已
(註：should在這裡有"期望"的含意 而不是"應該")
3) Maria is shouting ______ excitement because she just won the first prize.
1. at 2. toward 3. with 4. on
with 有""帶著""的意思
所以 with excitement = excitedly
像是第一題的delight 也有with delight這樣的用法 = delightedly
at
如果後面為人的話 (shout at 人)
就必須選1.........類似用法如smile或angry
on
會用到on的 最常見的就是on purpose (故意地)
toward
有"傾向"之意
最常見到的就是attitude toward (....態度) trend toward (....潮流/趨向)
這類的用法只能靠自己去摸索 不好解釋 ~"~
譯 Maria得到第一名(或頭獎)，讓她欣喜若狂，大聲叫喊
(註：也可以翻譯"激動"叫喊
