🍀考題①:(IELTS18,T4,R2) To stand up in a classroom and successfully deliver a good speech is a genuine achievement, and that is likely to be more powerfully motivating than vague notions of ‘motivation’ itself. (在課堂上站起來成功地發表一篇優秀的演講是一個真正的成就,這很可能比模糊的「動機」概念更有動力。)
🍀考題②:(IELTS3,T3,R1) In fact, traditional practices draw on a continuing wealth of technological ingenuity.(事實上,傳統做法倚重源源不斷大量的科技的獨創性。)
🍀考題③:(IELTS18,T2,R3) The word ‘genius’ is universally associated with the name of Leonardo da Vinci. (“天才”這個字常與李奧納多達文西的名字緊密相連。)
🍀考題④:(IELTS17,T2,R3) Such examples give lie to the claim that ingenious, designing minds are responsible for human creativity and invention. (這些例子證明此聲稱的不實,靈巧且設計的心智負責人類的創造力和發明。)
🍀考題⑤:(IELTS14,T2,R2) Short’s book highlights a developing and sophisticated art and science of ventilating buildings through the 19th and earlier-20th centuries, including the design of ingeniously ventilated hospitals. (Short的書強調19世紀及20世紀早期通風建築物的發展和精密的藝術與科學,包括精巧通風醫院的設計。)
🌷總結:TOEFL(托福)及IELTS(雅思)考生,常混淆ingenuous(天真的)及ingenious(靈巧的)兩個生字!建議大家用genius(天才)及genuine(真實的),牢記這兩個生字不同處。
