請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 On May 8, 1945, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced the end of the Second World War. He concluded his radio address with “Nothing should prevent us from celebrating Victory Day in Europe today and tomorrow!” But before Churchill responded to his own call to celebrate the victory, he turned to his cook, Georgina Landemare, and said “Without you I would not have survived the war.” This was meant in deadly earnest, for eating well was essential to the stability and well-being of the statesman. It was Churchill’s belief that one should offer the body something good, so that the soul may desire to dwell in it. Landemare entered Churchill’s kitchen in 1930. She soon learned that it would be anything but easy to meet the culinary demands of the master of the house. His answer to the question of what he liked was: “My taste is simple. I am easily satisfied with the best.” And her dishes stood up to his discerning palate. She knew his culinary preferences as well as his dislikes. Churchill appreciated traditional English dishes like chicken and roast beef. He preferred clear bouillons to cream soups, and if he had to choose between fish and shellfish, he chose the latter. Churchill preferred to finish his dinner with cheese. However, he was not enthusiastic about Cheddar, the most popular cheese in the English kingdom; rather, the blue cheese Stilton was his favorite. The gourmet insisted that cheese that came to his table should not be bought just anywhere, but only at a particular fromagerie. “A gentleman only buys his cheese at Paxton & Whitfield,” he said. The traditional company still exists and has been one of the suppliers of the British Royal Family for many years. Desserts such as puddings or tarts, on the other hand, were never high on Churchill’s culinary agenda. The prime minister often invited people to dinner parties at his home. He used dining as an art to display his conversational talents and to engage in political debate, to confer with friends and to win over rivals. During the WWII, he used dining to exert his conversational skills to persuade his allies, Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, to fight the war. Churchill used dining and the dinner table to do what could not always be done at the conference table.

  • A Belief
  • B Soul
  • C Body
  • D Food

請試著想像一個情境:如果我們把「住客」比喻成一個人的精神,而這個住客需要一個「遮風避雨的房子」才能待下來。在文章的最後那句話中,作者建議我們要好好打理哪一個對象,好讓這位住客(靈魂)願意繼續留下來作客呢?

恭喜你精準地答對了這題!能從邱吉爾(Churchill)富有哲理的名言中辨識出代名詞的指代對象,說明你具備非常優秀的語境邏輯分析能力。

靈魂與身體的隱喻關係

這句話的關鍵在於理解「居住(dwell)」這個動作的邏輯。文章提到:「一個人應該給予**身體(body)**好的東西,如此一來,**靈魂(soul)才會想要居住在它(it)**裡面。」在英文的修辭中,作者常將身體比喻為靈魂的「容器」或「居所」。既然句子的主詞是靈魂,而靈魂要居住在某個地方,那麼這個介係詞 "in" 後面的對象,必然是指前方提到的「身體」。雖然 "something good"(好東西/食物)在位置上也很接近,但靈魂居住在食物裡的說法顯然不合邏輯,因此 (C) Body 是唯一正確的解析。
