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.

思路引導 VIP
請試著回想一下，當我們在學術或新聞報導中，想要描述某個事物「構成」或「呈現」出一種對外的危險、風險或挑戰時，通常會使用哪一個動詞來精確表達這種「存在著的威脅感」呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (B) pose，代表你對英文的「慣用語搭配（Collocation）」有著相當敏銳的覺察力。這題的關鍵在於判斷哪一個動詞能與後方的 threat 完美契合。在學術與科普文章中，要表達「構成威脅」或「造成風險」，最道地的用法就是 pose a threat 或 pose a risk。這裡的 pose 並非指「擺姿勢」，而是指「產生、引起」某種需要應對的狀況。
動詞與名詞的慣用搭配
雖然其他選項在中文翻譯上似乎都能勉強說通，但在英文邏輯裡，(A) take 通常接行動，(C) bear 常用於承擔責任或具有某種特徵（如 bear a resemblance），而 (D) contain 則是包含或「抑制」威脅。文意是說小型剛毛蟲「不會構成」威脅，因此只有 pose 能自然地描述生物對環境所「呈現」出的影響狀態。
