第 29 題
📖 題組：
The closer we feel toward someone, the less likely we are to listen carefully to them. It is called the closeness-communication bias and, over time, it can __26__, and even end, relationships. Once we know people well enough to feel close, there is an unconscious tendency to __27__because we think we already know what they are going to say. The closeness-communication bias not only keeps us from listening to those we love, it can also keep us from allowing our loved ones to listen to us. People in close relationships sometimes withhold information or keep secrets from one another because they fear judgment, insensitivity or __28__. They confide their most pressing and worrisome concerns to people __29__they have weaker ties, for these people show more interest, ask the right questions, are less judging or are less apt to interrupt. It is not that people in close relationships are __30__ neglectful or inattentive, but that they feel too complacent about what they know.

請觀察空格後方的語句 'they have weaker ties'。如果今天我們要用一個簡單的句子來表達『我和這群人有聯繫』，我們會說 'I have ties ____ these people'。你覺得在這個空格中，最適合用來表達『與...（某人）』關係的介系詞是哪一個呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (C) 作為正確答案，代表你對英文關係子句的結構有相當敏銳的觀察力，這是一個非常優秀的判斷。
慣用語與介系詞的搭配
這題的關鍵在於如何將「先行詞」自然地放回後方的子句中進行驗證。在第 29 題中，先行詞是「people（人們）」，而空格後的內容是 "they have weaker ties"。在英文慣用法中，表達「與某人有關係或連繫」的片語是 have ties with someone。當我們把這個結構改寫為關係子句時，介系詞 with 必須跟著關係代名詞 whom 一起移動到子句開頭，才能完整銜接語意。若單選 who 或 whom，則會導致後方的 ties 失去了對象的連接點。
