Situated on both banks of the winding River Vltava, Prague is like one big open-air museum. 26 some six hundred years of architecture nearly untouched by natural disaster or war, the city retains much of its medieval appearance. 27 you go, there are buildings in Romanic, Baroque, and Rococo styles that were popular hundreds of years ago.
答案:(D) Wherever
【句型】Wherever 引導讓步/地方副詞子句「無論你去哪裡」;Since(自從)、Before(之前)、Whatever(無論什麼,這裡問的是「哪裡」不是「什麼」)都不合。
Whatever 和 Wherever 中文都翻成「無論……」,太像了,所以很多人憑感覺二選一。要分開它們,看的不是中文,是空格後面的子句缺不缺受詞。
把空格後面拿出來看:you go。主詞 you 有了,動詞 go 也有了,而 go 是不及物動詞,後面不需要受詞。Whatever 進到子句裡必須占一個名詞位置(當主詞或受詞),這裡沒有位置給它,第一步就刷掉。Wherever 是副詞性的,不占名詞位置,正好合用。還原成白話驗算:No matter where you go, there are buildings in Romanic, Baroque, and Rococo styles.(無論你走到哪裡,都看得到羅馬式、巴洛克式和洛可可式的建築。)這個「數子句成分」的方法你國中就用過最短的版本:Stay where you are.(待在原地。)where 帶出的是地方,不是東西。98 年第 23 題與 105 年第 21 題用的也是同一個判準,三題可以擺在一起練。
Since:當「自從」時要配現在完成式,但主要子句 there are 是現在式,配不起來;當「既然」解時語意也接不上,「既然你走」講不通。Before:引導時間子句,可是這一句講的是走到哪裡都看得到建築,是地點不是時間先後。Whatever:理由如上,go 後面沒有受詞位置。
wherever(無論在哪裡,= no matter where)、whatever(無論什麼,= no matter what)、no matter where(不論何處)、in the Baroque style(巴洛克風格的)、be popular hundreds of years ago(在數百年前風行一時)、a building in the Rococo style(洛可可風格的建築)。
