正解:(B) She wants him to enjoy his birthday
詳解
這題問的是「動機」,也就是女生為什麼不讓壽星(男生)洗盤子,答案不在某一句話的字面,而在她整段話的用意。線索攤開來看:她說 We're here to celebrate your birthday today(我們今天是來幫你慶生的),還說 you're washing plates for us(你卻在幫我們洗盤子),最後一句 Now go and have fun(你快去玩吧)。整段都在傳達同一件事,今天是你的生日,你該去享受,不該在廚房幹活。所以答案是 (B) She wants him to enjoy his birthday(她想讓他好好過生日)。
這題難,難在有一個超像的干擾在 (C)。女生確實說過 I can deal with a few dirty plates(幾個髒盤子我搞得定),聽起來很像答案。但那句是她「說服男生放手」的理由,不是她「為什麼要接手」的動機。分清楚這兩層:她能搞定盤子,是她「有能力接手」;她想讓壽星去玩,才是她「為什麼要接手」。問題問的是後者。
聽動機題的關鍵,是把「她做了什麼、說了什麼」跟「她為什麼這麼做」分開。她洗盤子的真正理由,藏在 celebrate your birthday 和 go and have fun 這幾句對「生日」的強調裡,這才是她的用心。
誘答分析
•
(C) She can deal with dirty plates herself.:「她自己能搞定髒盤子」是被 I can deal with a few dirty plates 這句直接勾出來的,字面幾乎一模一樣,超容易誤選。但那句講的是「她有能力做」(她怎麼說服男生放手),不是「她為什麼要做」(動機)。問句問的是原因,答案要的是動機,不是能力。
•
(A) She tries to make him feel bad.:「她想讓他難受」剛好把意思聽反了。是她自己說 I feel like I'm a bad friend(我覺得自己不夠意思),是她過意不去,不是她想讓男生難受。把「她自己的愧疚」聽成「她想讓對方難受」,方向整個顛倒。
聽力提示
問「為什麼」的動機題,要把「她說了什麼、做了什麼」和「她為什麼這麼做」分開。表面那句最好對(I can deal with…)常常只是做法或理由,真正的動機藏在她反覆強調的東西裡(生日、去玩)。
