沒錯,修辭考題原文!!
這種好運都給我們碰到…大家今晚記得去買個彩券!

同學考完試時回來和助教回憶了一道SC的題目,
同學敘述的句子大意和曾經看過的The Economist某篇文章很像,
找出文章和同學確認後,同學說句子超像的! (修辭題目的來源竟然是The Economist!)
不過句子畫線的部分同學已經記得不是很清楚了,不過可以確定就是本文章的第二句。

They may not be about to conquer the world, but their ranks are swelling fast.
A record 85,000 industrial robots were installed last year, according to the
United Nations. Of the 712,000 robots reckoned to have been in operation at the
end of last year, 413,000 were in Japan, where there was one robot for every 36
people employed in manufacturing. Second-placed America is far behind, with
only 77,100 robots, but it is catching up. Its robot numbers are forecast to
jump 49% to 114,800 by the end of 2001, while Japan's will rise only 5% to
433,400. Worldwide, the number of robots is expected to reach 873,100 by the
end of 2001, an increase of 23%. Part of the reason for this fast growth is
that robot prices are falling quickly, while human labour costs continue to
rise.

所幸同學上課有follow莫老師的教誨,在讀清句意後,利用規則和技巧,選出了和原文一樣
的答案。 同學說,印象中本題有考莫老師上課教授的16條規則中的「平衡法(and的平衡)」
、還有「流水句(run-on sentence)」、「虛字there」,此外還有好像某幾個選項還有「句
子結構錯誤(沒有主要子句)」,不過這不打緊,把第二句看熟了,穩穩地拿分就好!

提醒很多粗心的同學,不少修辭考題的選項中,會有一個看似漂亮但卻是run-on的句子,請
同學考試的時候得把眼睛張大,確認句子結構,發現是run-on sentence就直接砍答案了,
不需糾結。

此外,在題目一邊讀選項的時候,也記得要順便確認句子的結構(尤其是長句),不少同學常
常會粗心選到「沒有主要子句」或是「主要子句有主詞沒動詞」的選項。這種錯誤是非常不
應該的!
