測驗重點解析
本題重點:on a long journey、動名詞作主詞、not only... but also...、allow + 受詞 + to + V、be disturbed by。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 長途旅行時 | on a long journey | On a long journey, ... |
| 坐在窗邊 | sit by the window | sitting by the window |
| 不僅……也…… | not only... but also... | not only allows... but also makes... |
| 欣賞風景 | enjoy the view | enjoy the view |
| 受到……打擾 | be disturbed by... | be disturbed by people moving through the aisle |
1. on a long journey
on a long journey 表示在長途旅程中。journey 指一段旅程;也可依交通方式寫 on a long train ride。
2. 動名詞作主詞
sitting by the window 是動名詞片語,整體視為單數,因此後面使用 allows 與 makes。
3. not only... but also...
not only allows... but also makes... 連接兩個形式平行的動詞片語,表達坐在窗邊的兩項可能優點。
4. allow + 受詞 + to + V
allows passengers to enjoy the view 表示讓乘客能欣賞風景。allow 後接受詞,再接不定詞。
5. be disturbed by
be disturbed by people moving through the aisle 表示受到走道上移動的人打擾。people moving... 中的現在分詞片語修飾 people。
On a long journey, sitting by the window not only allows passengers to enjoy the view but also makes them less likely to be disturbed by people moving through the aisle.
During a long trip, a window seat offers a good view and keeps passengers farther from people moving along the aisle.
On a lengthy journey, a window seat provides both a changing view and some distance from the steady flow of people in the aisle.
不要寫:
In long travel, sit near window not only let passengers enjoy scenery but also not easy disturbed by people on aisle.
錯誤原因:
on a long journey,不可直接說 in long travel。sitting,並在 window 前加 the。allow 或 let 的句型不同:allow passengers to enjoy;let passengers enjoy。be:be disturbed by。people moving through the aisle,不是 people on aisle。相較之下,走道座位方便乘客起身走動,不過其他人經過時,有時也會造成干擾。
參考答案
By contrast, an aisle seat allows passengers to get up and move around more easily, but people passing by may sometimes disturb them.
測驗重點解析
本題重點:by contrast、allow + 受詞 + to + V、move around、people passing by、may + 頻率副詞。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 相較之下 | by contrast | By contrast, ... |
| 走道座位 | an aisle seat | an aisle seat |
| 起身走動 | get up and move around | get up and move around more easily |
| 經過的人 | people passing by | people passing by |
| 有時造成干擾 | may sometimes disturb... | may sometimes disturb them |
1. by contrast
By contrast 用來引出與前一句不同的情況。本題第一句談靠窗座位,第二句用這個轉折語比較走道座位。
2. allow + 受詞 + to + V
allows passengers to get up and move around 表示讓乘客能夠起身走動。主詞 an aisle seat 是單數,因此使用 allows。
3. get up and move around
get up 表示起身,move around 表示四處走動。兩個原形動詞由 and 連接,共用前面的 to。
4. people passing by
people passing by 表示經過的人。passing by 是現在分詞片語,補充說明哪些人可能造成干擾。
5. may sometimes + 原形動詞
may sometimes disturb 表示有時可能造成打擾。情態動詞 may 後接原形 disturb,頻率副詞 sometimes 可放在兩者之間。
By contrast, an aisle seat allows passengers to get up and move around more easily, but people passing by may sometimes disturb them.
In contrast, aisle seats give travelers more freedom to stand and walk around, although passing traffic can occasionally be distracting.
An aisle seat, on the other hand, provides easier access whenever a traveler wishes to stand, though the nearby flow of passengers may interrupt the journey.
不要寫:
Compare with it, aisle seat is convenient passengers stand up walking, but other people pass may sometimes make disturb.
錯誤原因:
By contrast 或 In contrast,不是 Compare with it。an aisle seat。allow passengers to get up,不可直接把 passengers stand up 接在 convenient 後。move around,不是 stand up walking。disturb 本身就是動詞,不可寫 make disturb。說明:依提示在「答案卷」上寫一篇英文作文。文長至少 120 個單詞(words)。 提示:下列兩張圖片呈現同一名旅客在長途火車上選擇不同座位時的情景。請以此為主題,寫一篇英文作文,文分兩段。第一段描述兩張圖片的內容,並比較靠窗座位與走道座位可能帶來的不同感受;第二段則根據你的經驗或偏好,說明你在長途旅程中會選擇哪一種座位,並敘述理由。

參考範文
The two pictures show the same traveler in different seats on a long-distance train. In Picture A, he sits beside the window and looks at the countryside. His bag is stored overhead, and the seat seems comfortable. However, another passenger sits between him and the aisle, making it harder to leave his seat. In Picture B, the traveler occupies the aisle seat. His position gives him direct access to the aisle, but a passenger with a rolling suitcase walks close by. The aisle seat offers easier movement but more exposure to passing traffic. I choose a window seat on most short trips. Watching fields and towns pass by helps me relax, and I like having a wall to lean against. On an overnight train last winter, however, I chose the aisle because I knew I would need to stretch and visit the restroom. I did not have to ask a sleeping stranger to move, which made the journey much easier. Still, footsteps and luggage occasionally interrupted my rest. That experience taught me to base my choice on the length and purpose of each trip. If I plan to sleep or enjoy the scenery, the window is better. If I expect to move often, I prefer the aisle. Neither seat is always best; comfort depends on a passenger's habits and priorities.
寫作技巧解析
本題要求考生根據兩張圖片寫兩段英文作文。第一段應描述同一名旅客在長途火車上坐在靠窗座位與走道座位時的不同情景;第二段則根據個人經驗或偏好,選擇較適合自己的座位並說明理由。
| 段落 | 寫作任務 | 可寫內容 |
|---|---|---|
| 第一段 | 描述並比較圖片 | 圖 A 的旅客坐在窗邊欣賞風景、與走道間隔著另一位乘客;圖 B 的旅客坐在走道旁,進出較直接,但有人拖著行李從旁經過 |
| 第二段 | 說明個人選擇與理由 | 依旅程長度、是否想看風景、休息需求及起身頻率選擇座位,並加入一次長途搭車經驗 |
先交代共同背景:同一名旅客正在長途火車上。接著以位置、視野、離開座位的便利性及走道活動比較兩圖:
| 圖片 | 可描述重點 |
|---|---|
| 圖 A | 旅客坐在大窗戶旁,望向窗外的鄉間景色;行李收在上方置物架,另一位乘客坐在他和走道之間。 |
| 圖 B | 同一名旅客改坐走道座位,能直接接近走道;一名拖著小型行李箱的乘客正從旁經過。 |
可使用 sit beside a large window、look at the countryside、store a bag overhead、sit between someone and the aisle、have direct access to the aisle、a rolling suitcase、passing traffic 等具體寫法。兩張圖片呈現不同取捨,沒有標示唯一正確選擇,因此第一段宜平衡描述,不需把其中一種座位寫成絕對較好。
第二段可依下列順序發展:
範例第一段同時呈現靠窗座位的景色與較不便離席,以及走道座位的直接進出與人流干擾,能從圖片可見細節建立平衡比較。第二段先說明短程偏好,再用一次夜車經驗解釋為何特定情況改選走道,最後以旅程目的與個人習慣收束,完整回應題目而不把偏好寫成道德判斷。
window seat 是靠窗座位;aisle seat 是走道座位,aisle 的字首發音為母音,因此搭配 an。look at the countryside 描述望向鄉間景色;enjoy the view 可概括欣賞風景。have direct access to the aisle 表示能直接進入走道,不必跨過鄰座。passing traffic 在此指走道上經過的人與行李,不是道路車流。實用字彙與轉承詞

aisle 指座位間的走道;不要與 isle(島)混淆。travel by train 或 be on a train,不說 take on a train。scenery 通常作不可數名詞;view 可數,例如 a good view。luggage 是不可數名詞;一件行李可寫 a piece of luggage 或直接指出 a suitcase。
