But one special sculpture gallery invites art lovers to allow their hands to 16 the works.
答案:(B) run over
run over 在此意為「(手)掠過、撫過」:這座特別的雕塑展區邀請愛好者用手撫過作品;fix up(修理、安排)、take away(拿走)、knock off(打掉、下班)語意都不合。

run over 你大概只想到「輾過」(The dog was run over by a car.),所以覺得放在這裡很奇怪。其實 run 的核心是「移動、掠過」,主詞換成手或眼睛時,意思就是「輕輕掠過、快速看過」:She ran her fingers over the keyboard.(她的手指掠過鍵盤)/Let me run over the main points again.(讓我再快速複習一次重點)。
前一句說羅浮宮到處都是「請勿觸摸」的告示;本句用 But 轉折,說有一個展區反而邀請大家動手。下一句說明那是 the Tactile Gallery(觸覺展區),為視障者而設,是館內唯一可以觸摸的空間。既然主題是「用手觸摸」,動作自然是手在作品上撫過。
run one's fingers over(用手指掠過)、run over the main points(快速複習重點)、be run over by a car(被車輾過)、keep one's hands off(別碰)。
