學測原句
- 115 學測|閱讀測驗 第 2 篇|第 3 段The defenders, living in the castles, were familiar with the stair pattern and could retreat up them very swiftly; while the attackers were much more likely to stumble and fall, particularly in the dimly lit confines of the staircase.住在城堡裡的守軍熟悉階梯的規律,可以很快往上撤退;攻擊者則更容易絆倒跌落,尤其是在樓梯間光線昏暗的狹窄空間裡。
- defender:「守軍」,defend + -er
- swiftly:「迅速地」,比 quickly 書面
- dimly lit:「光線昏暗的」,lit 是 light 的過去分詞
- confines:「狹窄的空間」
補充說明: staircase / stairs
stairs 為最常用的說法,指「樓梯本身」,go up the stairs 為「上樓」,日常對話用這個字即可。staircase 指「整座樓梯結構」,包含台階與扶手,強調它是建築的一部分,a spiral staircase 為「旋轉樓梯」,建築說明與室內設計常用。
