NiceReads https://www.nicereads.com.tw/comments Speaking American is a great book! Lucia Leisure ★★★★★ I just love Josh Katz’s new book! It’s about 42 in different parts of the US. The information in the book was collected from the quiz that Katz built on the website in 2013. The quiz asked what words people use for something, and their answers showed interesting facts. For example, there are different names for sports shoes. In most parts of the US, people say “tennis shoes.” In the northeast of the country, people wear “sneakers.” In some towns, “tennis shoes” and “sneakers” become “gym shoes.” The use of words tells us where people are from, like Katz’s book says. But in my experience, it also shows 43 . My family has lived in New York since my grandparents. It’s not surprising that I say “sneakers.” But my grandfather says “plimsolls,” and my daughter says “kicks” or “vans.” Maybe Katz can study this difference for his next book.

在第二段中，作者提到全家人都住在同一個地方（紐約），但她接著列舉了「祖父」、「她自己」與「女兒」對鞋子稱呼的差異。請想想看，這三個人在家庭中分別代表了不同的什麼特徵呢？

這道題目非常細膩，同學選 (A) 是因為看到了祖父、我、女兒三代的差異，直覺聯想到「年齡」。
1. 迷思破解：為何 (A) how old they are 不精確？
雖然文中提到不同輩分，但語言的使用並非隨著「生理年齡」增長而自然改變（並非人老了就會自動改說 plimsolls）。(A) 選項暗示的是「年齡大小」本身決定用詞，但事實上，祖父說的 plimsolls 是一個典型的英式英語詞彙，這暗示了他的「成長背景」與在美國長大的後輩不同。
