考题:一般
题目:Do oysters have little bivalve souls? Do they dream briny dreams,
scream briny screams? On a level that I suppose is selfish and somewhat silly,
I hope not, because they are alive when they are shucked right 31 us,
their deaths more proximal than those of so many creatures we eat.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
试译: 它们的死亡比起许多其他我们吃的生物都还要历历在目

1F:推 stu60912:these questions 指的是前面两个 09/24 23:02
2F:→ stu60912:1. 我们不用去担心他们临死前是怎麽煎熬的吗? 09/24 23:03
3F:→ stu60912:2. 他们被烹调的方式(死法)是否已经很仁慈了? 09/24 23:04
4F:→ stu60912:这两个问题一旦这些oysters 经历过後,就再也不那麽滑稽 09/24 23:06
5F:→ stu60912:可笑了。况且後面也举例说有店家站出来说我们对待他们的 09/24 23:07
6F:→ stu60912:保存方式很不人道,所以选(D)是比较呼应前後文。 09/24 23:08
7F:→ stu60912:不选(A)是因为funny是 「用来取悦人的」 (D)则是「引 09/24 23:08
8F:→ stu60912:来嘲笑的」,两者的意涵不同。B、C的意思就又差更大了 09/24 23:09
