The entire island of Kizhi is, 18 , an outdoor museum of wooden architecture created in 1966.
答案:(A) in fact
語意「整座島嶼事實上是一座露天博物館」,in fact(事實上)符合這種補充強調說明;once again(再次)、as usual(照常)、for instance(例如)都不合。
四個選項都是常見的轉承語,插在 is 與 an outdoor museum 中間,代進去唸起來都不太卡。最多人猶豫的是 for instance,因為下一句馬上列出 windmills、boathouses、chapels 一大串,看起來就像在舉例。
先問前後兩句是什麼關係。前面兩句在講基日島的地理:長約 7 公里、寬 0.5 公里,周圍還有約 5,000 座島嶼。到了這一句,作者把整座島說成「一座露天博物館」——這座島當然不是真的蓋了一間博物館,而是「實際上等於」一座博物館。這種把前面的敘述再往前推一步、給一個更強或更精確說法的位置,用的就是 in fact(劍橋 English Grammar Today 把 in fact 歸在強調或修正前述內容的用法)。順帶注意它的位置:夾在 be 動詞 is 與主詞補語 an outdoor museum 之間,用兩個逗號夾住。轉承語出現在句子中間非常常見,不要因為它沒放在句首就先排除。102 年第 17 題的 on the other hand 也是插在主詞與動詞之間,同一個考點。
once again:再一次,前文必須已經發生過同一件事,本文沒有。as usual:一如往常,需要有慣例可以對照,本文也沒有。for instance:舉例來說,後面接的必須是前一句的例子;但這一句不是例子,而是對整座島的重新定義。真正的舉例出現在下一句 including windmills, boathouses, chapels…,而且那裡用的是 including,不是 for instance。
in fact(事實上)、in reality(實際上)、once again(再一次)、as usual(一如往常)、for instance(舉例來說)、an outdoor museum(露天博物館)。
