Basically, pyt encourages people of all ages to 15 minor frustrations and move on with their lives.
答案:(A) let go of
【句型】let go of 固定片語「放下」,表示鼓勵人們「放下」小挫折並繼續生活;look up to(仰慕)、go in for(從事/喜愛)、come up with(想出)都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
四個選項都是三個字組成的片語動詞,長得很像,中文卻差很遠(放下、仰慕、從事、想出),只能靠有沒有把整組記起來。
四個選項都是片語動詞,可見這一格考的是搭配與語意。先看整句:Basically, pyt encourages people of all ages to ___ minor frustrations and move on with their lives.(基本上,pyt 鼓勵各個年齡層的人……小挫折,然後繼續過自己的日子。)關鍵在 and 後面的 move on with their lives(繼續過生活)——要能「繼續往前走」,前提是先把那些小挫折放下,填 let go of。let go of 的字面就是「鬆手放開」,引申為放下心裡的東西(let go of the past 放下過去、let go of your anger 放下你的怒氣)。再往回扣整段:pyt 講的是 accepting and resetting(接受並重新開始)、step back and refocus(退一步、重新聚焦),方向完全一致。
look up to(仰慕、敬重):對象應該是人,而且語意與挫折無關。go in for(從事、熱衷於):變成「熱衷於小挫折」,語意荒謬。come up with(想出):後面接的是點子或辦法,不是挫折。
let go of(放下、鬆手)、move on with one’s life(繼續過日子)、look up to(仰慕)、come up with(想出)、go in for(熱衷於)、people of all ages(各個年齡層的人)。
Denmark consistently scores high in global happiness rankings, and Danish people have some cool words for ways to be happy. The word recently voted most popular among Danes is pyt, a term that describes the nation's philosophy toward 11 . Pyt doesn't have an exact English translation. It is usually used as a 12 to a daily mistake or small frustration, corresponding roughly to the English sayings, "Don't worry about it," or "Well, things happen."
At its core, the word is about accepting and resetting—a reminder to step back and refocus rather than overreact. Pyt doesn't point blame at either yourself or another person; 13 , it helps you learn that not everything can be perfect. But this does not mean that pyt applies to everything. It should not be used when you ought to take responsibility; 14 should it be taken as an excuse for inaction.
Today, the word is even manifested into a literal "pyt button" in Danish classrooms for schoolchildren to press when they are upset about something insignificant. Some adults have also started using the button at home. Basically, pyt encourages people of all ages to 15 minor frustrations and move on with their lives.
