📖 題組:
On a hilltop overlooking the 2011-tsunami hit Otsuchi Town in northeastern Japan, there is a white phone booth standing all alone in the wind. The lonely “wind phone” serves to connect family members to their __21__ loved ones who died in the tsunami that claimed 18,000 lives. People come to speak to those they have lost, to say the words they never got to say on that __22__ day. The idea for the wind phone was first __23__ by a Japanese garden designer named Itaru Sasaki, who was grieving over the death of his cousin in 2010, before the tsunami. Feeling that he needed a private space to help him navigate through the __24__ , Sasaki positioned a booth where he could “speak” to the dead relative. The booth he built __25__ only an old dial phone with a disconnected phone line. When he stepped into the booth, he could pick up the phone to call his cousin, telling him how he was, and how he missed him. Sasaki stated in an interview: “Because my thoughts couldn’t be __26__ through a regular phone line, I wanted them to be carried on the wind.” Hence, the wind phone allows Sasaki to create a one-way conversation with deep, soulful personal meaning, and renders the grieving process more __27__ for him. Sasaki opened his wind phone to the public in 2011, after the devastating tsunami. News about the phone gradually spread, and the booth has become a __28__ between the living and the dead. Phones resembling the wind phone have since been built around the world. Some were even set up to allow people to call their loved ones lost in the COVID-19 pandemic. Grieving is a natural __29__ for coping with loss of a loved one, and people grieve in various ways. For those who speak into the wind phone, __30__ is always there: They believe that their messages will—through some unknown way—reach the deceased.

請看一下空格前後的線索:主詞是「my thoughts」,後面接了「through a regular phone line」,而且後半句提到希望思緒被「carried on the wind」。想想看,在電話線的語境下,思緒通常會被怎麼樣處理?這需要一個帶有什麼動作意涵的動詞呢?

句型與語意脈絡分析
從文法結構來看,空格前有助動詞與 be 動詞「couldn't be」,提示我們此處需要一個過去分詞(p.p.)形成被動語態;再從後文「through a regular phone line(透過一般電話線)」以及對比的「carried on the wind(隨風飄送)」可推敲出,這裡是在描述思念與訊息的「傳達」。動詞片語 pass on 正有「傳遞、轉達」之意,填入後語意完全契合。
