All my money was 40 and my "friend" had even taken my watch and my shoes!
答案:(A) gone
【句型】be gone 字詞搭配,表示「不見了/消失了」,「All my money was gone」是「我的錢都不見了」這個語意最自然通順的表達方式;none 不會這樣直接作主詞補語搭配 was 表達「消失不見」的意思。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
四個選項都與「沒有、不見」有關,而 nothing 與 none 的中文最貼近「什麼都沒了」,很容易先挑它們。這一格要看的是 was 後面能接什麼樣的字。
整句是 All my money was ___.(我的錢全都……。)主詞已經是 all my money,was 後面要接一個補語來說明它怎麼了。gone 在這裡是形容詞化的過去分詞,be gone 就是「不見了、沒了」。掛鉤是很常聽到的 He is gone.(他走了。)與 Winter is gone.(冬天過去了。)——重點不在「去了哪裡」,而在「已經不在這裡了」。再看另外三個為什麼不行:none 與 nothing 都是代名詞,意思是「一樣也沒有」;主詞已經是 all my money 了,再說「我所有的錢是一樣也沒有」,主詞與補語語意矛盾。no 是限定詞,後面一定要接名詞(no money),不能單獨站在 was 後面。最後用下一句驗算:my "friend" had even taken my watch and my shoes(我那位「朋友」連我的手錶和鞋子都拿走了)——even(甚至)代表前面已經講過有東西被拿走了,錢不見了正好接得上。
none、nothing:代名詞,與主詞語意重複、互相矛盾。no:限定詞,後面要接名詞。
be gone(不見了、消失了)、be long gone(早就不在了)、be missing(不見、下落不明)、have no idea(完全不知道)、take sth away(拿走某物)、all my money(我所有的錢)。
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!
