Al Smith, Governor of New York State, was born very poorly. He had less education in school, but he worked very hard and won great successes. One day, he paid a visit for the state prison at Sing Sing. The head of the prison asked Mr. Smith say something to the prisoners. He has never spoken to this kind of audience before, so he did not know where to begin. Finally he said, “My fellow citizens…” and then he remembered that when a man goes to the prison, he is no longer a citizen. He began again, “My fellow prisoners…” That wasn’t sound right. At last he said, “Well, however, I’m glad to see many of you here today.”

Answer 1

【小題1】poorly—poor
【小題2】less education—little education
【小題3】successes—success
【小題4】a visit for—a visit to
【小題5】^ say—to say
【小題6】has never—had never
【小題7】where to begin—how to begin
【小題8】the prison
【小題9】wasn’t sound—didn’t sound
【小題10】however—anyhow/anyway

解析【小題1】此處poor修飾的是Smith，修飾名詞用形容詞。
【小題2】此處沒有比較的含義，education是不可數名詞，故用little
【小題3】success是不可數名詞
【小題4】固定短語 pay a visit to參觀，拜訪
【小題5】固定用法ask sb to do sth
【小題6】全文都是過去時，而此處指的是之前的，所以是過去的過去
【小題7】根據文章意思，可知，此處講的是方法，而不是方向。意為他不知道該怎樣開始。
【小題8】此處prison不是特指 坐牢就是go to prison
【小題9】因為sound 是動詞，所以否定選擇助動詞didn’t。
【小題10】however是轉折，此處不是轉折的意思。意為不管怎樣，我很高興在這里看到你們。
