Not satisfied with the first draft of her essay, Mary revised it several times before turning it in to the teacher.
Mary 對作文初稿不滿意,修改了好幾次才交給老師。(修改了好幾次)
- 考點:draft「草稿」,first draft=「初稿」,後面 revised it several times「修改了好幾次」是線索。text「文本」、brush「刷子」、plot「情節」都不是一篇文章寫出來的第一個版本
- not satisfied with…:分詞構句,等於 because she was not satisfied with…
- revise:「修改」,把寫好的東西再檢查、修正
- turn in:「繳交」

怎麼判斷

- review 是「複習」,再看一遍讓自己更熟;也可以指「檢視、審查」。例:review the lesson(複習課程)
- review 也是「評論」,指對電影、書、音樂的評論。例:a movie review(影評)
