All of them successfully 28 the destruction of postwar redevelopment and remained unchanged.
答案:(A) escaped
escape 當及物動詞時是「躲過、免於」,後面直接接不好的事物:這些建築成功躲過了戰後重建的破壞;featured(以…為特色)、defended(防禦)、inspired(啟發)語意都不合。
答對率 34%。
escape 你大概認定它是「逃跑」,而且一定要接 from,所以看到 escaped 後面直接接 the destruction 覺得怪。其實 escape 有兩種用法,意思不同:escape from = 從裡面逃出來(人已經在裡面,He escaped from prison.);escape + 受詞 = 躲過、免於(事情根本沒發生在你身上,She was lucky to escape punishment.)。本題是後者。
空格後面的 and remained unchanged(並且保持原貌)是最直接的印證——正因為躲過了戰後重建的拆除,才可能維持原樣。
featured 是「以…為特色」,主詞該是地方或作品;defended 是「保衛」,後面該接被保護的對象,不是破壞本身;inspired 是「啟發」,語意無關。
escape punishment(躲過處罰)、escape notice(未被注意到)、escape from prison(越獄)、narrowly escape(險些遭遇)、remain unchanged(維持原貌)。
