In Toronto in 1976, the idea of putting together different disability groups 26 sports competitions was born.
答案:(A) for
for 在此表目的與用途:把不同身心障礙類別的團體整合起來「為了」舉辦運動競賽;with(伴隨)、as(作為,會變成把團體當成賽事)、on(關於)語意都不合。
for 你最熟的是「為了誰」和「持續多久」,一看到 putting together different disability groups,手容易伸向 with——「把不同障礙類別的團體和運動競賽放在一起」,唸起來也順。你看出這一格的工作是把前後兩個名詞組接起來,判斷沒錯,錯在接法:with 接的是同時存在的伴隨物,for 接的是「要拿來做什麼」。這一格要的是後者。
先數這一格前後各是什麼。前面 putting together different disability groups(把不同障礙類別的團體整合起來)是一個動作,後面 sports competitions(運動競賽)是這個動作的目的。目的用 for,這是 for 最常被漏掉的一格,而且整組長得很像:a place for meetings(開會用的場地)、equipment for training(訓練用的器材),中文一律翻成「…的」,英文一律用 for。驗算法很快:把 for 拆成完整的目的說法讀一遍——in order to hold sports competitions(以便舉辦運動競賽)——意思不變,就確定這一格是目的,不是伴隨。一句記完:Volunteers in our town collected blankets and instant noodles for the families left homeless by the earthquake.(鎮上的志工為地震中失去家園的那些家庭募集了毛毯和泡麵。)〔情境取材自 99 課綱參考試卷作文題:鄰國大地震寫信〕
with(伴隨):會讀成「團體連同運動競賽一起被整合」,但競賽是整合之後才辦的,不是被整合的對象。as(作為):會把團體說成競賽本身,語意不連貫。on(關於):帶出主題,變成「關於運動競賽的團體」,與整合這個動作接不上。三者的毛病相同——把目的換成了伴隨、作為或主題。同義記一組:for 等於 for the purpose of,也等於 in order to(後面接原形動詞)。
for + 名詞(表用途、目的)、for the purpose of(為了…的目的)、in order to(為了)、put together(整合、拼湊)、be designed for(專為…而設計)、grow in size(規模變大)、be held in the same year as(與…同年舉行)、sign an agreement(簽署協議)。
