They draw elegant henna crowns on the women’s bare heads to help them 18 the loss of their hair after cancer treatment.
答案:(C) cope with
cope with 意為「應付、承受(困難處境)」,本句指指甲花頭冠幫助患者面對化療後掉髮的失落;carry away(多用於 be carried away 忘形)、build on(以…為基礎發展)、get off(下車、脫身)語意都不合。
答對率 37%。
cope 這個字課本著墨少,而且幾乎一定要配 with,單看 cope 認不出來。cope with = 應付、承受,對象通常是困難、壓力、失落。
Her religious beliefs helped her to cope with the loss of her husband.(她的信仰幫助她走過喪夫之痛)——本題是 to help them cope with the loss of their hair,連受詞 loss 都一樣。
carry away 通常用被動 be carried away(得意忘形);build on 是「以…為基礎發展」;get off 是「下車、脫身」。
cope with stress/pressure/loss(應付壓力/承受失落)、deal with(處理)、handle(應付)、get carried away(得意忘形)。
