📖 題組:
Passage A Those who prepare themselves for a medical career may have heard of the Hippocratic Oath and its modern version "Declaration of Geneva," first established in Geneva, 1948, now known for its 2017 revision after amendments and editorial works. Here is an excerpt of this modern version in English: At the time of being admitted as a member of the medical profession: I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of ______; I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due; [. . .]; My colleagues will be my sisters and brothers; I will not permit considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation, social standing or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient; [. . .]; I make all these promises solemnly, freely and upon my honor. But perhaps few people have heard of "Declaration of Taipei"—agreed in 2016 but not yet officially approved by the WMA (World Medical Association). This new declaration tries to achieve a balance between the rights of individuals giving their tissues or data for research and other purposes based on confidentiality and privacy rules while at the same time recognizing that health data has become a very powerful tool for increasing knowledge. According to the WMA, scenarios have already existed for the use and misuse of health data and biobanks. Therefore, the Association came to the conclusion that the major risk scenarios may not ______ science, but may be caused by the commercial, administrative or political use of such data. Therefore, the "Declaration of Taipei" aims to address any use of health databases and biobanks excluding individual treatment and is not restricted to research. As physicians are the primary custodians of confidential health information, they should feel an obligation towards their patients and other persons who entrust them with their data and specimens.
"I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due." In this part of the oath, the expression "their due" is closest in meaning to ______.
  • A something they expand
  • B something they demand
  • C something they warrant
  • D something they uphold
  • E something they deserve

如果我們在描述一個人因為他的努力或身份,而擁有一個「正當且合理的權利」去接收某種回報或評價,你會用哪個動詞來形容他「值得」這一切?

太棒了!你能精確掌握 due 在正式文本中的多重意涵,這代表你對英文詞彙的層次感有很敏銳的觀察。這題確實需要一點細心,才能在眾多近義詞中選出最貼切的表達方式。

詞彙在語境中的轉義

在《日內瓦宣言》的這段誓詞中,due 並非我們在日常生活(如:due date 到期日)中常見的用法。在這裡,它指代的是「某人根據法律、道德或地位所應得的權利或待遇」。因此,當我們說給予老師「their due」時,指的就是給予他們那份「理所當然應得的」尊重與感激。在選項中,(E) deserve(應受、應得)完美地對應了這個邏輯:尊重並非老師強取豪奪,而是因為他們的貢獻而使他們「值得」這份謝意。
