  1. 老師好
    Diplomatic couriers serve more symbolic functions than carrying messages.要寫成平行對稱的兩個句子,是底下這兩句嗎?
    Diplomatic couriers serve functions.
    Diplomatic couriers serve the function of carrying messages.
    謝謝

    1. 可以這樣詮釋。也可以還原為:
      Diplomatic couriers serve functions.
      Diplomatic couriers carry messages.

  2. 老師您好
    Girl movies go against the grain of the recent Hollywood norm, which is that guys rule. To synopsize the prevailing wisdom: movies are about revenge; TV is about reconciliation.
    1 To synopsize the prevailing wisdom麻煩請老師還原?

    The book's best episodes are those in which Marshall seems to forget for a few pages all about Scott as he journeys into parts of Burma that remain as untamed by the current iron-fisted military as they were by the ruthless rule of the British. He visits regions outside the junta's reach: fiefdoms of local druglords, the "Wild Wa" in northeast Burma--notorious headhunters and fierce warriors who even today are not controlled so much as contained by Burma's military.
    2 有提到He visits regions outside the junta's reach,那怎麼又會 contained by Burma's military. 。感覺有予盾?
    3 control跟contain這兩個字好像,不知其差別是?
    謝謝老師

      可以還原為:I will synopsize the prevailing wisdom
      2, 3
      「不算是被控制(controlled),應該說是被圍堵(contained)」:圍堵在一個範圍裏面,雖沒有行動自由,但是在裏面並沒受到干預

    While it is possible the children discussed in the article might actually have been sold by their parents, this is not usually the case--most parents are not aware of the situation their children are in.
    1most parents are not aware of the situation their children are in. 意思是:即使小孩沒被父母賣掉,小孩還是會陷入危險?


    Each year 18,000 animals are brought to the SPCA for disposal. Every one that finds a home is one less we discard.
    2 one less是少了一個 ?
    謝謝老師

      只能從文意判斷:「原文提到的小孩固然有可能真正是被自己父母賣掉的,但通常不是這樣:大部分的家長並不清楚自己小孩的情況。」

      是。少丟棄一個(找到了寄養家庭)
