The wise woman generously opened her bag to 21 her food with the traveler.
答案:(C) share
【句型】share...with... 字詞搭配「與……分享」;give(給,不太符合share with的字詞搭配結構)、bring(帶來)、earn(賺取)都不合。
中文說「把食物分給旅人」,give 的畫面最直接,所以不少人手比腦快,先把 give 填了進去。這一格真正的鑰匙不在空格本身,而在句尾那個 with。
把句子結構拉出來:opened her bag to ______ her food with the traveler。動詞後面跟著兩樣東西:受詞 her food,以及介系詞片語 with the traveler。哪一個動詞能同時帶這兩樣?答案是 share something with somebody(與某人分享某物)。給予類的動詞介系詞不一樣:give something to somebody 用的是 to,不是 with。這組差別你國中就練過:Share the cake with your brother.(把蛋糕和弟弟分著吃。)對上 Give the book to your brother.(把書拿給弟弟。)遇到動詞題,先看後面跟著哪個介系詞,往往一步就能定案。
give:搭配的是 to 不是 with,而且下一句 he asked her to give it to him 就把 give 的正確用法印在同一段裡,可以直接對照。bring(帶來):也是 bring something to somebody,介系詞同樣不對。earn(賺得):受詞是錢或名聲,earn her food with the traveler 語意不成立。
share something with somebody(與某人分享某物)、give something to somebody(把某物給某人)、bring something to somebody(把某物帶給某人)、earn a living(謀生)、open one's bag(打開袋子)、a hungry traveler(一位飢餓的旅人)。
