Reading


一名學生早晨正準備上學。她用天然洗面乳清洗自己的臉,然後用有機棉毛巾把臉擦乾。她的早餐是顆有機蛋以及一些新鮮水果。這頓早餐會給予她騎腳踏車到學校所需的體力。吃完早餐後,她將午餐會用到的筷子和湯匙放進書包。接著,她確認家裡所有的燈都關了,然後騎腳踏車去上學。


1­1 ...with a natural cleaner...with...towel.
此句的兩個with都是「用……(物品、工具等)」之意。例:
The little girl ate the cake with a spoon.
1­2 For breakfast, she eats...fresh fruit.
→ She eats...fresh fruit for breakfast.
1­3 ...give her the energy [she needs] to ride her bike to school.
(1) ...give her the energy...    → ...give the energy to her...
(2)
關係子句she needs前面省略了關係代名詞which/that,用來修飾the energy
(3) ...to ride her bike to school.
   第一個toin order to之意,表示「為了做某事」;第二個to為「往某處」之意。
1­4 After finishing her breakfast, she puts [the chopsticks and spoon that she will need at lunch] into her school bag.
(1) After finishing her breakfast....   → After she finishes her breakfast....
   此處因主要子句和從屬子句的主詞都she,故可省略從屬子句的主詞,將動詞改為現在分詞。
(2) put A into B表示「把A放進B」。例:
   Harry put the milk into the refrigerator.
(3) that she will need at lunch
為關係代名詞that所引導的關係子句,用來修飾先行the chopsticks and spoon
1­5 ...all the lights in her home are off....
be off
在此為「(電氣用品)關掉,不用」之意,若表示「(電氣用品)打開,使用中」則用be on或是be in use。例:
Theres no sound from the living room because the TV is off.
1­6 ride在此為名詞用法,表示「騎車」之意。例:
My family went for a bike ride on Sunday  afternoon.



這位學生所做的便是樂活的例子。「樂活」這個用語代表「健康及永續性的生活方式」。一開始,此用語只是意指將商品焦點放在環境、人們健康,以及永續生活的市場。逐漸地,這個用語已經變成用來形容健康和不損壞環境的生活方式。


2­1 What the student does is an example....
what為複合關係代名詞,是先行詞和關係代名詞的合體,前無先行詞,在此相當於the things that。此外,what當主詞時需視為第三人稱單數,因此後面要用單數動詞。例:
What Ellen said shows that she is selfish.
2 in the beginning = at first,表示「起先,一開始」之意。例:
In the beginning, I thought Danny was a kind person. Later, I found that I was wrong.
2­3 ...it has become a term describing a healthy and eco­friendly lifestyle.
(1) has become為現在完成式,表示「從過去一直持續到現在,而且可能會繼續持續下去」的動作。
(2) ...a term describing...
此句可還原為...a term which/that describes...,詳細用法請參見本課句型解析一。



樂活生活促進保護自然環境。同時,這種生活方式讓人們更健康。樂活實踐者藉由謹慎思考他們吃的食物、買的東西、使用的能源等等來照護地球。舉例來說,他們吃有機蔬菜是因為它們不是用會污染水源及土壤的農藥所栽種。他們走樓梯而不搭電梯以便可以省電。由於這個新興的潮流,現今越來越多的公司提供樂活商品。此外,過樂活生活方式的人現在也被認為很酷。


3­1 ...it makes people healthier.


文法一點通

make + O + OC (Adj/N)

make在此為不完全及物動詞,加了受詞之後意義仍不完整,故後面須加上受詞補語(OC)補充說明,表示「使……變成……」之意,受詞補語可以是形容詞或名詞。例:

Ben’s jokes always make me happy.

Sharon’s good voice makes her a popular singer.
3­2 LOHAS followers try to take care of the earth by thinking...the food they eat, the things they buy, the energy they use....
(1) take care of
為「照顧,保護」之意。
例: I have learned how to grow and take care of plants.
(2) by在此為「藉由……」之意,後接動名詞。例:
Ella passed the exam by studying hard.
(3) they eatthey buythey use三句皆為省略受格that的關係子句,分別修飾它們的先行詞。
3­3 They take the stairs...so that they can....
(1) take the stairs = climb the stairs,為「爬樓梯」之意;stair一字通常用複數形stairs,不用單數。例:
We had to take the stairs because the electricity was cut off.
(2) so that為表示「目的」的從屬連接詞,後面接子句表明與主要子句之間的因果關係,表示「為了……,以便……」之意。
3­4 Because of this new trend, more and more companies....
(1) because of
為介系詞片語,後面須接名詞,而because則為從屬連接詞,後面接完整子句,詳細用法請參見本課句型解析二。
(2) more and more... + N為「越來越多……」之意。例:
More and more people today enjoy working at home.
3­5 ...people leading a LOHAS lifestyle are now thought to be cool.
(1) ...people leading a LOHAS...
   → ...people who lead a LOHAS...
   此為關係子句轉化成現在分詞片語的用法,詳細用法請參見本課句型解析一。
(2) be thought/considered to be...表示「被認為是……」。例:
Smoking is often thought to be harmful to ones health.



實踐樂活的生活方式並不困難,我們只要遵從下列建議便都能成為愛護環境的人。我們可以走路或搭公車而不騎摩托車。我們可以重複使用及回收塑膠瓶。使用紙的雙面列印或是影印也是個好點子。除此之外,我們可以帶條手帕在身上,減少使用面紙的機會。我們購物時可以使用自己的購物袋,而不要用店家所提供的紙袋或塑膠袋。

4­1 Living a LOHAS lifestyle is not....
living a LOHAS lifestyle
為動名詞當主詞,視為第三人稱單數,故動詞用is。例:
Making fun of your classmates doesn’t make you a popular person.
4­2 [Using both sides of paper for printing or copying] is also....
(1) using both...copying亦為動名詞當主詞的用法,後面用單數動詞is
(2) for在此為「用來……,目的為……之意,for printing or copying則用來修飾前面的paper
3 In addition, we can use fewer tissues by carrying a handkerchief with us.
(1) in addition意為「除此之外」,亦可用besidesmoreover替換。
(2)
fewer + 可數名詞」表示「較少……」,如果是不可數名詞,前面則要用less例:
Ian buys fewer magazines now.
To save money, Betty spent less and less money on clothes and shoes.
(3) carry sth with sb表示「把某物帶在某人身邊」。例:
No matter where Rita goes, she always  carries her smartphone with her.
4­4 When shopping, we can bring our own shopping bags instead of using....
(1) When shopping, we can bring....
   → When we shop, we can bring....
   由於此處主要子句和從屬子句的主詞皆為we,故可省略從屬子句的主詞,將動詞改為現在分詞。
(2) instead of表示「代替……」之意,後面須接名詞或動名詞。例:
My sister drank apple juice instead of milk this morning.



我們在習慣上的小小改變能對地球造成很大的影響。所以,你還在等什麼呢?變成樂活人吧這不但有利於我們自己,也對我們所居住的星球有所助益。


5­1 Small changes in our habits can make a big difference to the earth.
(1) a change in sth
為「……的改變」之意。
例:
There have been some changes in Tinas attitude toward life after the accident.
(2) make a difference to...表示「對……產生重大影響」,反義詞是make no/little difference to...。此外,這個片語中間可加上big/a lot of/a great deal of等來強調影響程度很大。例:
I have great respect for Mr. Collins because his advice always makes a big difference to me.
5­2 Become a LOHAS follower—this will benefit not only ourselves, but also the planet that we live on.
(1) 這裡用原形動詞become表示祈使句語氣。例:
Stand up, please.
(2) this指的是破折號前面所提的become a LOHAS follower這件事。
(3) not only A but also B表示「不但A而且B」,且AB的詞性應一致。例:
Being a supermodel depends not only on good looks but also on efforts.
Luke likes not only to go skiing but also to go rock climbing.
