Elderly shoppers in this store are advised to take the elevator rather than the escalator, which may move too fast for them to keep their balance.
這間店建議年長的顧客搭電梯,不要搭手扶梯,因為手扶梯可能動得太快,讓他們無法保持平衡。(老年顧客被建議搭電梯)
- 考點:escalator「手扶梯」,take the elevator rather than the escalator=「搭電梯而不搭手扶梯」。escalator 是會動的樓梯,後面 move too fast 是線索。airway「航線」、operator「操作員」、instrument「儀器 / 樂器」都不是和電梯一樣讓人搭乘的設備
- elderly:「年長的」
- rather than:「而不是」
- keep one's balance:「保持平衡」
- for them to keep…:for them 是做 to keep 這個動作的人;too fast for them to keep… 整體是「快得讓他們無法保持…」
怎麼判斷
- advice 是名詞「建議」,常放在 a piece of、some、good 這些字後面。例:He gave me good advice.(他給了我很好的建議)
- advise 是動詞「建議、勸告」,常用 advise + 人 + to + 動詞。例:The doctor advised me to rest.(醫生建議我休息)
- 唸法不同:advice 結尾和 ice 一樣(/s/),advise 結尾和 wise 一樣(/z/)。
- advice 是不可數名詞,不能說 an advice 或 advices。
