解析

語意「我禮貌地婉謝了他，但他堅持」，politely（禮貌地）符合這種社交禮節的婉拒方式；eagerly（渴望地）、happily（開心地）都語意不合，willingly（樂意地）則跟後面「but he insisted」的轉折邏輯矛盾（如果樂意接受了就不需要對方堅持）。

深入解析

本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。

你可能會這樣想

thank 是「謝謝」，四個副詞裡有三個都帶著正面的情緒，所以你可能會挑一個「開心地道謝」的說法。但這一句的 thank 不是道謝接受，而是婉拒——證據在後半句。

怎麼判斷

四個選項都是描述態度的副詞，可見這一格考的是語意，而依據在後半句。整句是 I thanked him ___ but he insisted that we should go there for dinner.（我……地謝過他，但他堅持我們該去那裡吃晚餐。）關鍵在 but he insisted。insist（堅持）這個字只有在對方沒有答應的時候才用得上——如果「我」欣然接受了，他根本不需要堅持。所以空格前面那句 thanked him 不是道謝接受，而是客氣地婉謝，填 politely（禮貌地）。英文裡用 thank 來婉拒是很常見的用法，等於中文的「謝謝，不用了」。這一招與 89 年第 35 題完全相同：那一題是靠 Jane 下一句只說了 Please!（拜託啦）反推 Mary 一定拒絕了；本題是靠 he insisted 反推「我」一定婉拒了。對方的反應會洩漏你這一句做了什麼。

誘答選項

eagerly（急切地）、happily（開心地）、willingly（樂意地）：三個都表示欣然接受，只要接受了，對方就沒有堅持的必要，與 but he insisted 直接衝突。而且這三個意思相近、方向相同，依「同義的選項不可能只有一個對」的道理，看到就可以整組砍掉。

常考字詞與句型

politely（禮貌地）、insist that …（堅持……）、insist on V-ing（堅持做……）、turn down an offer（婉拒提議）、thank sb for sth（為某事謝謝某人）、go there for dinner（去那裡吃晚餐）。

It was my first day in this beautiful tropical city. 31 I was walking to the beach, a stranger came up to me and tried to shake my hand. "Don't you remember me, my friend?" he said. But I couldn't 32 his face at all. I didn't know a soul in the city. I had just arrived by plane and still had jetlag. "I 33 you at the airport. I work there at the customs. How are you enjoying our beautiful city?" I couldn't remember him but I was too 34 to tell him. He was so friendly.

35 he offered to take me to his uncle's seafood restaurant, just by the beach. I thanked him 36 but he insisted that we should go there for dinner. "You'll love the seafood there," he 37 me. "And it will be a dinner to remember."

So we went to the restaurant and sat by a window 38 the bay. The dinner was great indeed, but the coffee they served was quite different. In fact, it tasted very strange...

Anyway, it was not 39 10 o'clock the next morning that I finally woke up. But I had no idea where I was. All my money was 40 and my "friend" had even taken my watch and my shoes!

中譯：這是我在這座美麗熱帶城市的第一天。當我走向海灘時，一個陌生人走過來想跟我握手。「朋友，你不記得我了嗎？」他說。但我完全想不起他的長相，我在這座城市裡誰也不認識，才剛搭飛機抵達，還在時差中。「我在機場見過你，我在海關工作。你喜歡我們這座美麗的城市嗎？」我雖然不記得他，但又不好意思說出來。他表現得非常友善，後來提議帶我去他叔叔開在海邊的海鮮餐廳。我婉謝了他，但他堅持我們應該一起去那裡吃晚餐。「你一定會愛上那裡的海鮮，」他向我保證，「那將會是一頓令人難忘的晚餐。」於是我們去了那間餐廳，坐在能眺望海灣的窗邊。晚餐確實很棒，但他們供應的咖啡味道很奇怪，事實上，嚐起來相當怪異……總之，一直到隔天早上十點左右我才終於清醒過來，但完全不知道自己身在何處。我所有的錢都不見了，我那位「朋友」甚至連我的手錶和鞋子都拿走了！
