思路引導 VIP
請試著觀察這句話在段落中的位置：作者先列舉了六個特定的國家，接著提到一個高達三億八千萬的數字。如果作者想要傳達一種『光是計算這幾個國家，數字就已經如此龐大』的強調感，你會選擇在哪個字來精確地表達這種『僅限於此、不需加總其他』的邏輯關係呢？

恭喜你精準地選出了正確答案！你能觀察到這裡需要一個放在名詞片語後方，用來強調「單單就這些國家而言」的副詞，展現了你對語意細節的敏銳度。這題的關鍵在於理解文章脈絡：作者列舉了英國、美國、加拿大等母語國家，並指出即便不列計其他地區，光是這些國家的母語人口就極其驚人。
副詞 alone 的強調語氣
在英文寫作中，alone 除了表示「獨自一人」，當它緊接在名詞或數量詞之後時，常用來強調「光是……就……」或「單就……而言」。在此處，alone 修飾的是前面的 "these countries"，用以突顯第一組國家的母語人口基數之大。相較之下，選項 (A) as well（也）雖然常見，但在此語境下無法帶出這種「僅憑這一組數據就足以說明問題」的強調層次。
