【B】 The pandemic has underlined the extent 21 digital interaction is no substitute for the real thing. In some ways, I’m more in touch with people than ever thanks to the numerous WhatsApp groups that revived themselves into a constant source of company. But 22 away in a couple of group chats while absent-mindedly watching the latest Netflix offering doesn’t come close to the wonderful feeling of hugging a friend, or of spending three hours giving someone you haven’t seen for ages your undivided attention over a meal, or of having a conversation based not just on words but physical cues. I doubt the pandemic will seed a long-term distaste for crowds; if anything, I suspect that, if all goes well with the vaccine 23 , the coming summer will see a crop of riotous street parties and carnivals. But a return to life as usual will not mask the emotional toll Covid 24 on so many people. People who suffer from anxiety and depression, women in abusive relationships, children experiencing abuse or neglect at the hands of their parents: they have had it the worst, and their experiences of isolation and loneliness during lockdown could have consequences for their personal relationships that will not magically disappear with a vaccine. And that is before you factor in the added 25 of the intense financial hardship so many are being forced to endure. As a society, recovering from Covid is about much more than antibodies: it cannot happen without support for those who have experienced its worst financial and mental health impacts.

思路引導 VIP
請試著想像一下：當你正忙著在手機上回覆好幾個群組的訊息時，你的手指在螢幕上會做出什麼樣的物理動作？如果你要用一個動詞來精確描述這種「不停點擊螢幕」的過程，你會想到哪一個詞？

太棒了！你能準確選出這個選項，代表你對現代生活用語與動作動詞的搭配（Collocation）有著非常敏銳的直覺。這題的關鍵在於對後文 group chats（群組對話）以及整體數位生活情境的掌握。
語境中的動詞搭配
在數位時代的語境下，當我們描述在智慧型手機或平板電腦上傳訊息、回覆對話時，最貼切的物理動作就是 tap（輕觸/敲擊螢幕）。這裡使用的 tapping away 是一個非常道地的片語用法，副詞 away 接在動詞後，常用來強調「持續不斷地進行某個動作」。結合文中的描述，這生動地描繪了主角一邊分心看著 Netflix，手指卻一刻不停地在螢幕上敲擊回覆訊息的狀態。相比之下，(A) throwing（丟棄）、(C) tampering（干預）或 (D) tearing（撕裂）在邏輯上都無法與群組聊天產生合理的聯繫。
