學測原句
- 105 學測|閱讀測驗 第 3 篇|第 4 段With more than 13 million children already driven from classrooms by conflict, it is no exaggeration to say that the educational prospects of a generation of children are in the balance.已有超過 1,300 萬名兒童因衝突被趕出教室,說一個世代孩子的教育前景岌岌可危,並不誇張。
- with…already driven…:with + 受詞 + p.p.
- no exaggeration to say…:「說…並不誇張」
- in the balance:「懸而未決、岌岌可危」,balance 是「天平」,放在天平上還沒往哪邊倒,所以是「懸而未決」,in balance(沒有 the)則是「平衡、均衡」
