However, these 28 less than 50% of the GDP now that Bhutan has become an exporter of hydroelectricity.
答案:(C) account for
account for(占……比例)為固定搭配,在此表示傳統產業如今僅占國內生產毛額(GDP)不到一半;figure out(想出)、relate to(與……有關)、conform to(遵從)均不符合此處統計數據的語意。
四個選項都是「動詞加介系詞」的片語,形態一樣,你會憑中文挑一個。
答對率四成七。這是指標勾環:先問句首的 these 指的是什麼——前一句列的 forestry, animal husbandry and subsistence agriculture(林業、畜牧業與自給農業)這三個傳統產業。接著看空格後面:less than 50% of the GDP(國內生產毛額的不到一半),是一個比例。主詞是幾個產業、後面接一個比例,要的就是「占多少比例」這個說法——account for。填進去讀成 these account for less than 50% of the GDP(這些如今只占國內生產毛額不到一半)。account 這個字有好幾種用法,這裡是「占比例」,另外還有「說明原因」(That accounts for his absence.)與名詞的「帳戶」。
figure out(想出、弄懂)後面接的是被弄懂的問題;relate to(與……有關)只說得出有關聯,講不出比例;conform to(遵從、符合)後面接的是規則或標準。三個都是片語動詞,形態吻合,容易被順手選走。
now that + 子句(既然、由於)、figure out(想出、弄懂)、conform to(遵從、符合)、relate to(與……有關)、hydroelectricity(水力發電)、less than half(不到一半)。
