Visitors are welcome to experience the Center 14 or join a guided tour.
答案:(C) on their own
on their own(自行、獨自)與後面的 or join a guided tour(或參加導覽團)形成對比選項,表示「遊客可以自行參觀,或參加導覽團」。in this regard(在這方面)、one on one(一對一)、by and large(大體上)都不符合這種「自行 vs. 跟團」的對比語意。
四個選項都是常見片語,一個一個看中文都說得通,很容易憑哪個最眼熟就直接選它。one on one(一對一)尤其誘人,因為同一句後面出現 a guided tour(導覽),會讓你聯想到「一對一導覽」。
把整句讀完:Visitors are welcome to experience the Center ______ or join a guided tour.。關鍵在 or,它把兩件事擺成二選一,而後面那一件已經寫得清清楚楚,就是參加導覽。所以空格要填的必須是導覽的另一種選擇,也就是「不跟導覽,自己看」。四個選項裡只有 on their own 是這個意思(獨自、靠自己,等於 by themselves)。還有一個看得見的線索:只有這個選項帶著所有格 their,正好回頭指向句首的 Visitors,說明它講的是遊客自己的參觀方式。
in this regard(在這方面)是承接前文的轉承用語,接在動詞後面說明參觀方式並不成立。one on one 用在兩個人面對面的互動(a one-on-one interview),但一對一導覽仍然是導覽,與 or 後面那一半重複,二選一就不成立了。by and large(大體而言)是評論整體情況的說法,不是在講一種參觀方式。
on one's own(獨自、靠自己)、by oneself(獨自)、be welcome to V(歡迎做某事)、join a guided tour(參加導覽)、in this regard(在這方面)、by and large(大體而言)。
