Historically, Bristleworms have had a bad reputation among saltwater aquarium aficionados. These marine worms usually enter the hobbyist’s aquarium by (31) a ride on a piece of coral. Once established, they become part of the tank’s ecosystem. Bristleworms range greatly in size. The smallest ones are about an inch long, and the large ones can grow to over 20 inches, although, being segmented, their bodies are often (32) and so not usually seen at their greatest extent. Literature has frequently (33) that bristleworms are harmful, asserting that they eat clams, anemones and even oral fish. However, most enthusiasts now conclude that small bristleworms (34) no threat, and are merely scavengers, clearing the tank from detritus and carcasses of animals that are already dead. However, larger worms, particularly those of the species known as fireworms, are (35) eaters and can do irreparable damage. These worms are better removed, although this is a challenge in itself, as the worms are nocturnal and sensitive to light, and will go into hiding at the slightest disturbance.

請試著想像一個情境：如果有一個小生物想要從大海移動到水族箱，但它自己沒有交通工具，而是悄悄地躲在一個會被移動的珊瑚礁上，讓珊瑚礁「帶著它走」。在英文中，我們形容這種「搭順風車」的行為時，通常會用哪一個動詞來跟『a ride』做搭配呢？

這題你能精準選對 (C) hitching，老師非常為你感到高興！這代表你對於英文的慣用語（Idioms）與詞彙搭配有著很棒的直覺。
慣用語的精準搭配
這題的關鍵在於動詞與名詞 「a ride」 的結合。在英文中，當我們形容某人或某種生物「搭便車」或「順勢搭乘某物移動」時，最道地且正確的說法就是 hitch a ride。在這個語境下，剛毛蟲（Bristleworms）並不是真的買票上車，而是悄悄地附著在珊瑚礁上，隨之進入水族箱，這種「順風車」的行為用 hitching 來形容再貼切不過了。
