You can be an everyday Jane Doe or John Smith while awake but a superhero while sleeping, 30 who you are in real life.
答案:(B) regardless of
【句型】regardless of 字詞搭配「不論/不管」,表示「不管你現實生活中是誰」;such as(例如)、with respect to(關於)、on behalf of(代表)都不合。
regardless 裡面有 regard,而你背過 regard A as B(把 A 視為 B)、with regard to(關於),所以看到 regardless of 很容易誤以為也是「關於」。真正的線索是字尾 -less,它表示「沒有、不」,像 careless(粗心的)、useless(沒用的)、endless(無止盡的)。regardless of 就是「不去理會……、不論……」,這條字尾線索比死背可靠得多。
空格後面是 who you are in real life(你在現實生活中是誰),一個名詞子句。前面說:醒著的時候你可能只是個普通人,睡著的時候卻可以是超級英雄。既然夢裡的身分跟現實身分無關,要填的當然是「不論你現實中是誰」。驗算方式:換成 no matter who you are in real life(不管你現實中是誰)讀一次,意思完全一樣——regardless of +名詞或名詞子句,約等於 no matter +疑問詞,這組同義替換很常考。另外順便看一下同一句的 while awake 和 while sleeping:這是省略的寫法,還原成完整子句是 while you are awake(當你醒著的時候)、while you are sleeping(當你睡著的時候),被省略掉的是主詞和 be 動詞。這種省略在其他年度的克漏字裡會一再出現。
such as(例如)用來舉例,後面接的是例子,不能接子句。with respect to(關於、就……而言)表示話題範圍,代進去會變成「就你現實中是誰而言」,跟「無關」的語意剛好相反。on behalf of(代表……)後面接人或組織。
regardless of(不論、不管)、no matter who/what/how(不論是誰/什麼/如何)、in spite of(儘管)、with respect to(關於、就……而言)、with regard to(關於)、regard A as B(把 A 視為 B)、on behalf of(代表……)、such as(例如)、in real life(在現實生活中)、set aside(把……擱置一旁、挪出時間或金錢)。
You must have had this kind of experience: While in the middle of a normal dream, you suddenly realize that you are dreaming. This kind of dream is called a "lucid dream." The term "lucid" means clear; lucid dreamers know that they are dreaming and 26 they are dreaming of.
It is different from daydreaming. When a person is having a lucid dream, the person's body is 27 ; when a person daydreams, his/her body is awake. Thus, daydreams are really just waking thoughts. In lucid dreams, however, we are completely immersed in the dream world.
Yet, lucid dreaming is 28 just having a clear dream. It is your chance to play around with the extraordinary abilities buried in unused parts of your brain. 29 , it is a way for you to put the deepest areas of your brain to good use while you're sleeping. You can be an everyday Jane Doe or John Smith while awake but a superhero while sleeping, 30 who you are in real life. All the obstacles of reality can be set aside and you are able to accomplish tasks that you could never manage in waking reality.
