13 , she has a master's degree in law from Switzerland, but as fate would have it, her passion for fashion led her into fashion design.
答案:(D) Interestingly
【轉折語】Interestingly 置於句首,用以引出一個令人意外、有趣的事實(她本有法律碩士學位,卻走上時尚設計之路)。Generally(一般而言)、Ideally(理想上)、Relatively(相對而言)皆不符合此處強調意外性的語境。
Interestingly 這個字,你的印象大概只有「有趣地」,會以為它在形容某件事很好玩;而本句講的是她有瑞士的法律碩士學位,聽起來一點也不好玩,於是就把它排掉了。
四個選項都是 -ly 副詞放在句首、後面接逗號。站在這個位置的副詞修飾的不是某一個動詞,而是整句話,它標記的是作者對這件事的看法。所以這一格要問的是:作者覺得這件事怎麼樣?線索要往前一句拿。前面說她出生在奈及利亞的拉哥斯、在歐洲受教育,而整篇講的是她成為全球知名的時裝設計師;本句突然冒出「法律碩士」,後半句又用 but as fate would have it(但命運就是這麼安排)把她推回時尚設計。學法律的人最後做時尚,這個反差正是作者要標記的「出乎意料」,所以填 Interestingly(有趣的是)。鑑別度 53,分的是有沒有回頭把前面那段求學經歷讀進來;只讀本句的話,四個副詞塞進去都不至於不通。
Generally(一般而言)後面要接的是通則或多數情況,本句講的是某一個人的單一事實。Ideally(理想上)帶出的是與現實有落差的期望,本句陳述的卻是既成事實。Relatively(相對而言)需要有比較的對象,本句沒有拿她與任何人比。
as fate would have it(命運就是這麼安排)、a master's degree in(…的碩士學位)、lead sb into(引領某人走向)、one's passion for(對…的熱情)、interestingly(有趣的是,句首的評注副詞)、relatively(相對地,需要有比較對象)
