115 學測|詞彙題
Deadly shootings on US campuses have raised grave concerns about how to prevent such tragic incidents from happening again.
美國校園的致命槍擊案引發嚴重關切:該如何防止這類悲劇再度發生。
- 考點:grave「嚴重的」,grave concerns=「嚴重的憂慮」。grave 名詞是「墳墓」,形容詞就引申為「嚴重到攸關生死」,所以搭配 concern、danger、mistake 這類大事。swift「迅速的」、brutal「殘暴的」、harsh「嚴厲的」都不能形容 concerns
- shooting:「槍擊事件」
- prevent A from V-ing:「防止 A 做…」,這裡 A 是事件,所以是「防止事件發生」
