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。
答對率 26%。
介系詞題最怕「四個都看得懂、四個都填得下去」,於是憑語感亂猜。這時要回到每個介系詞的核心概念:for 的核心是「朝向某個目標」,因此可以表示目的、用途、對象;with 是「伴隨、一起」;as 是「作為、以…身分」;on 是「在…之上、關於」。
句子的主詞是 the idea of putting together different disability groups ___ sports competitions——把不同身心障礙類別的團體整合起來,「為了」舉辦運動競賽,這是目的,所以用 for。若填 as,語意會變成「把這些團體當作運動競賽」,人與活動畫上等號,不通;填 with 則變成「團體與競賽被放在一起」,語意含糊;填 on 是「關於競賽」,與 putting together 搭不上。
前一句 They were organized for the first time in Rome in 1960 也用了 for,講的同樣是目的與時機,可以互相對照。下一句 Today, the Paralympics are sports events for athletes from six different disability groups 更是同一個 for——「為某群人舉辦的賽事」,作者在同一段裡用了三次相同結構。
an event for + 對象(為某群人舉辦的活動)、be designed for(專為…設計)、be famous for(以…聞名)、for the first time(第一次)、for the purpose of(為了…的目的)。
