How Do You Find the Show? (2)
1. I heard you moved recently. How do you find the new neighborhood?
2. I can’t believe I am so careless. How did you find my cell phone?
今日答案揭曉,第一句中的“find”是詢問看法感受,全句可解讀為:你覺得新的社區如何?而第二句的“find”是指找到。
另一多益常見的單字是“receive”,尤其是具備多種意義的性質讓許多使用者感到困擾,不過,一個字詞具備越多種意義,代表其越常被使用,也代表其重要性越高喔!以下列表整理出“receive”常見的字義:
1. 接收、收到(訊息、信函) ,如:
receive a message; receive a signal;
所以手機的收訊可用名詞“reception”表示,如:
The reception in this area is poor. (此區的收訊不良)
接受者或受與人可用名詞“recipient”表示,如:
The recipient of the award shakes hands with the presenter.
(受獎人與頒獎人握手)
2. 接受(資源、治療),如:
receive education (受教育); receive medical treatment
The foundation received a donation of five million US dollars.
(收到捐款)
3. 接待、招待(賓客),如:
receive a visitor
所以reception (n.)亦可指接待會,如:
Every new staff member is invited to the reception.
而會議、宴會的接待員稱為receptionist (n.),如:
The receptionist mistook the host for another guest.
Mistake…for…:將某人誤認為某人
4. 對人事物的接受、反應或評價,且常用於被動語態句形,名詞亦 為“reception”如:
How were our research results received by the committee?
(委員會對我們的研究結果接受情況如何?)
I think our results were received very positively.
(我想我們的研究結果獲得非常正面的評價)
另一例:
The reception of the band’s new album was generally negative.
